TIIE MORNING OKEGOXIAN, "WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1909. XIJlj JAVyAlll j.nxiVJvM ' J ' , - LllU I LI I Is U.ILUU.I HAfiRIMAH BUYS ROUTETO SEATTLE Pays Over $76,923 a Mile to Use Milwaukee Tracks From Tacoma North. WILL SAVE CONSTRUCTION With Closing or TrI, Cnlon Pacific 1'orges Another Link In Its Through Lino From Portland to Sound. 8EATTLK. "Wash.. Feb. 19- (Spe cial.) By a deal which Involved at least 2.000,00n. the Union Pacific to day forged one more link la connect ing Seattle with Portland, when the Ore gon & Washington, the Union Pacific's line In this state, had purchased a half interest in the right-of-way of the Chi cago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Kail way from Black; River Junction to where the latter line crosses the Pay allup, three miles from Tacoma, a. to tal distance of 26 miles. The right-of-way Is considered to be the most valuable In all the Northwest for It passes through lands that are In a high state of cultivation, and on account of the many small towns through which the roads pass In the White and Puyallup River Valleys. Fome of the lands alone through which the Milwaukee has built cost the road $10,000 for a quarter acre. By Its acquirement of this right-of-way the Union Pacifc practically has closed the gap between here and Ta coma, where the Twohy Bros, who have the tunnel contract, are preparing to rush their work as fast as possible, owin to the heavy penalty that will be forced in case the big bore Is not completed within one year. What makes the purchase of Interest In- the Milwaukee right-of-way of unusual in terest is the big change of values In the White River Valley In the last 25 years. About that time farmers and Se attle people were anxious to have the Northern Pacific come Into Seattle at all cost, and had the railroad asked for It. could have obtained the widest right-of-way In the country. Previous to that, the Northern Pacific came as far as Stuck Junction, and for a time abandoned service. Kor years the Pu tret Sound Shore line, built from this cltv to Stuck, gave a poor service. With the letting of bids for the Grays Harbor line, the Tacoma tunnel and the acquirement of a completed line between Black River and Tacoma, the Union Pacific becomes one of the most active of all the lines In the North west in construction.

The Senate today finished up all its bills early In the afternoon, but th House worked on Its bills until past mid night '""1th the dock stopped at five minutes before 3 1n tho afternoon this lor the reason that, by resolution, ex change of bills was shut off at 3 P. 31. The Senate allowed the House to keep up the grind. President Bowerman and Speaker McArthur called for return of all bills to their respective house from committees, and the cleanup Is said to be complete in both bodies. Only eight votes were cast in the House against Representative Bono brake's bill, providing $210,000 to bB expended during the ensuing two years for additional equipment and new buildings at the State Agricultural College. Purlng the 30-mlnute debate that preceded the vote on this bill, the Corvallls school was praised as the foremost and most practical education al Institution In the state and entirely deserving of every cent of the appro priation that had been recommended by the ways and means committee. Plmlok and Farrell, while professing friendship for the school and believing that Its actual necessary wants should be supplied, considered that $210,000 was too much to be voted at this ses sion. Farrell submitted an amendment cutting the appropriation in two but this was defeated by a decisive rote. McCuo ricafls for Xormals. In supporting the MM, McCue re marked that the Legislature seemed perfectly willing to provide abundantly for its publio school. State University and Agricultural College and demanded that the friends of higher education in the House should transfer their en ergies to the Senate and see to It that the normal schools also should receive r ognition commensurate with their worth to the state. Tho bill was sup ported cordially In tho debate by Bone brake, Beals. Buchanan and Carter. Those voting against It were: Bran dm. DImick. Farrell. Hatteberg, Jones (Douglas). LIbby, Munkers and Orton. The bill provides that the $210,000 shall be expended for the following purposes: Additional equipment, $60. 000; central heating plant, $35,000; ar mory or drill hajl, $33,000; central ag ricultural building. $55,000; green house. $3000; purchase of additional land. $20,000. House Very Liberal. Instead of cutting down appropria tions, there is manifested a disposition on the part of the House to increase them. This morning Representative Jones' (Lincoln and Polk) bill, for re imbursing' the Indian War Veterans for the" use of their horses during the wars of 1855-6, was passed after be ing amended In committee of the whole to provide for $50,000 or Just double the amount that has been recommended from the committee on ways and means. Originally the bill asked for $100,000 but when the financial com mittee of the Legislature considered It the appropriation was cut down to $25,000. When the bill came up this morning. Jones made an earnest appeal for the old soldiers who, he said, were enti tled to pay for their horses under an act of the Territorial Legislature. He Insisted that the sum of $25,000 would not be sufficient to pay the claims and that before another Legislature convened, may oi the men who saved the state would have passed away. He moved that the appropriation be Increased to $50,000 explaining that un less It was done he would vote for the defeat of the MIL Tho change was made and the bill passed with ten votes against It Grrsham Gets Fair Money. Altman's bill appropriating $500 an nually for the Gresham Fair Associa tion was. passed without any discus sion. Due to the attack of McCue, Richard son's MIL appropriating $15,000 for straightening the channel of the Grand Ronde River In. Union County was killed. McCue and Calkins contended that the enactment of this bill would establish a dangerous precedent In thai It would pave the way for local com, munltles from all sections of the state to come to the Legislature for aid in purely local measures that were not of general state interest. Richardson, Brandon, Brooke' and Barrett argued for the bill, explaining that the Im provement asked to be made would In crease the value of the agricultural lands of Union County at least $100, 000 In the aggregate and In that way Indirectly benefit the entire state. The vote stood 25 to 25. with 10 absent PREFERS JI TO HOME WOOBBriLV MAX RKFTSES TO ACCEPT BAIL. Is Arrested on Charge of Wife, Who Says He Fired Two Revolver Shots at Her. " . SALEM, .Or., Feb. 16.

VOTERS TEST RECALL LAW Hoqulam Citizens Seek to Remove Councilman From City Body. HOQULVM, Wash'.. Feb. 16. (Spe cial.) A writ of mandamus, return able the !7th, was this morning issued by Judge Irwin, of the Superior Court, against the City Council of Hoqulam. wherein Warren Hull, representing 116 voters of the Fourth Ward, seeks to compel the Council to remove from that body J. B. Gillespie, whom they appointed to fill an unexpired term, against the protest of the voters in question. Ample funds have been sub scribed to carry the case through the Supreme Court, and the precedent thus established will settle the legality and bearing of the so-called "recall law." Not so much personal feeling against Mr. Gillespie enters into the matter as might be supposed, the voters being more wroth over the arbitrary action of the Council In appointing him, hence ti.e test case.
