CONTRACT LET FOR TUNNEL Pacific Bridge Company and Robert Wakefield to Build Cut-off. Within a year, O. R. & N. trains will be running through the big Jl.000.000 tun nel under the Peninsula, the contract for which was awarded by the railroad com pany yesterday to the Pacific Bridge Company and Robert Wakefield, bidding Jointly. At least, one of the provisions of the contract is that the long bore must be completed and turned over to the com pany by that time. Work on the tunnel must begin within ten days. The tunnel will be exactly 5415 feet long, or 145 feet more than one mile. However. 14,000 feet of track will have to be laid from the connection in Mock's bottom with the Troutdale cut-off of the O. K. & N. to the North bank mainline south of Oregon Slough, near which the tunnel ends. Starting from a few blocks east of Maegly Junction. the bore throughout most of its length will run beneath Dana avenue. Its southern terminus will be under Columbia Park Nearly six miles will be saved by the tunnel, as the present O. R. & N. Trout dale cut-oft line goes around the Penin sula, while the new track will go through It. An appreciable reduction in running time will result. With the beginning of work on the tunnel, it Is understood agents of the company are actively en gaged in securing rights of way at Trout dale so that the- remainder of the line can be rushed to completion. The successful contractors secured their contract against 14 other bidders. The tunnel will be of timber construction, with a single track. Ill ll,l FOUTV-TWO NEW CARS Street Railway Traffic of Portland Shows Big Increase. No feature of Portland's remarkable growth within the past year is better vhown than by the fact that the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company lias an order for 42 additional passenger cars and 20 frelghtcars, now being built in the shops of the American Car Com pany at St. Louis. The first shipment of the frelghtcars- is expected within two weeks, and the passenger cars will be delivered by September or October. "An unusual feature of this order is the fact that all hut two of the new pas senger cars will be used 'exclusively for city service," said General Manager F. I (Fuller yesterday. "This is due to the rapid growth In city traffic. The other two cars will be put on the Oregon Water 1'ower suburban division. All will be of the standard pay-as-you-enter type, which liave given general satisfaction. "Of course the construction work which had been planned by the company, in cluding the building of several extensions in various parts of the city, will have to suffer until the referenrum tangle over the franchise granted by the Council has been straightened. In the meantime, how ever, the company will keep adding to its equipment as increased traffic warrants. At present, we have 300 cars in service at 6 o'clock every evening, which Is about more than were In service altogether at the time of the Lewis & Clark Kxposi tion. We could put 350 cars in opera tion on special occasions if it were neces sary." - SERVICE TO KLAMATH POOR Chamber of Commerce Wants Better Train Accommodations. i'lie transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce will investigate charges of discrimination in train sched ules which were placed before it yester day by a number of Portland merchants, who declare that San Francisco la being favored as against this city. According to' the charges, passengers from Portland to Klamath Falls must lie over the whole day at Weed. tVie junction point with the California and Northwestern, while San Francisco travelers make ex cellent connections. Train No. 15 leaving here at 7:45 A. M. and reaching Weed at 4:.i and train No. 13 leaving Portland at 1:J0 A. M. and arriving at Weed at 9:30 P. M. are at present the only ones avail able. As the Klamath Falls train from Weed leave3 there at 1:30 P. M-, passen gers from Portland have to wait over from 18 to 20 hours. By changing the leaving time of the Weed-Klamath Falls train to 5 P. M. the merchants suggest that much of the difficulty could be ad justed. Ticket Office to Close Earlier. Beginning tomorrow. July 1. all the ticket offices along railroad row will close at 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon in stead of 6 o'clock as at present. .The change was decided upon by members of the row several days ago, for the reason that with 6 o'clock as the closing hour if was often impossible to figure up and balance the cash until late in the even ing. The traveling public is requested by the railroad men to take note of the change. Josselyn Goes to Alaska. President" B. S.

Sammis, a lawyer of Sioux City, la., is being widely talked of among Elks as a possibility for the position of grand exalted ruler of the order, when that position is filled at the annual reunion of the grand lodge In Los Angeles next month. Port land Elks seem to favor Mr. Sammis for the place. There are no local candidates. Mr. Sammis' candidacy is being ad vanced by the Elks of his own state, as wen as by South Da kota, Minnesota, Nebraska and other lodges throughout the Western and Northwestern States. He is recognized as a lawyer of ability, a brilliant orator and a leader In the Iowa Senate. lieved that he is looking over the possib ilities for good Investments in some of the larger Alaska towns for the Eastern capitalists who own the local car com pany. CONCERTS BEGIN JULY 6 BAND WILL PLAY FIRST CHAPMAN SQUARE. IN Music Will Be Furnished In All Portland Parka as Long as , Funds Are Available. Summer band concerts will begin for this season at 8 o'clock Tuesday night, July 6, with a programme, in Chapman Square, opposite the Courthouse, with Director Rosebrook in charge. This an nouncement was made at a special ses sion of the Park Board, held yesterday afternoon. The musical treats will be given thereafter in the various parks and public squares as long as the fund lasts. There .will be five concerts week days and one each Sunday, according to the official schedule, given out yesterday. The Board has also arranged so that the Peninsula band, of which J. H. Nolta is manager, can give concerts in Columbia and Peninsula parks. This will be grati fying news to the many thousands of people in that section of the city, who wished more musical programmes than is possible for the city to furnish. The schedule for concerts is as follows: Tuesday. July 6, Chapman square, opposite Courthouse. Wednesday. July 7, Holladay Park. Friday. July 0, Terwilllger Park. Saturday, July 10, Russell street (site to be selected. Sunday. July 11. city Park. 2:30 P. M. Concerts will be given each alternate Friday in Columbia (Park, so that the first one there will occur Friday, July 16. "We have tried our best to furnish the best possible means for the public to hear these concerts," said Dr. Dav Raf- ferty, chairman of the music committee of the Park Board. "We went into the matter very fully, and while we cannot provide all of the concerts desired we believe we have done our best to make the concerts a city-wide attraction." Director Rosebrook was present at the Board meeting, and said that he will have 33 musicians in the band, including him self. He will give some special num bers during the season. arasaBS FINE IMPOSED ON ROAD Attorney-General Prepares to Collect $10,000 From C. & E. SALEM, Or., June 29. (Special.) Attorney-General drawford went to Albany yesterday to represent the state in the case against the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad for the collection of the penalty for the alleged failure of the railroad company to comply with the Railroad Commission- act. Some time ago the Commission, after an investigation of a complaint of inade quate depot facilities at Lyons, ordered the railroad company to build a new de pot. Thi' company hauled in a couple of old freight cars and rigged them up as a station. This the Commission considered an evasion of the law. and the Attorney General was requested to commence ac tion to collect the fine of $10,000 provided by the law. Business Shows Increase. Archibald Gray. Assistant General Freight Agent of the Great Northern, with headquarters at Seattle, was in Portland yesterday on freight business connected with his road. Mr. Gray says in the short time since the completion of the North Bank road, the volume of freight handled by the Great Northern to Portland has increased enormously. p VIS ?;"ij WILL SHOW CHARTS State Board of Health Plans Tubercular Exhibit. PUT PUBLIC ON GUARD Display Will Be Made In Oregon Cit ies ars Education Against Rav ages of Consumption More Funds Are Needed. Preliminary plans for a tubercular exhibit to be ta.en through the state have been taken up by the State Board of Health. An early consummation of plans for an exhibit that will prove of vwoe interest and immense benefit Is expected by the members of the Board. Lack of funds is the principal obsta cle, but this difficulty is to be over come, it is believed, by securing the co-operation of the State Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. If the money is not forthcoming for an elabo rate exhibit, it is the intention of the Board to prepare a relatively inexpen sive one made up principally of charts and maps, to be displayed at county fairs and gatherings In every part of Oregon. 4 Although tubercular bacclll aren't altogether at home in the Oregon country, yet the great "white plague" is sufficiently prevalent in the state to make the exhibit one of the most im portant ever made, the object being to educate victims and those susceptible to the malady successfully to combat and ward off the menace. At a meeting of the Board held yes terday the matter was brought up by Dr. E. A. Pierce, president of the Board, and met with an immediate response of enthusiasm. Dr. R C. Yenney, secre tary of the Board, suggested that the subject was one of the most important to be dealt with. The plans for the ex hibit will be worked out at the earliest possible time and the exhibit opened to the public If the funds are available, the exhibit will be worked out along the lines of similar exhibits made in Eastern cities, although on a smaller scale. If not, a series of charts, tables and maps will be prepared and sent out, after first being shown at a convenient point in Portland. . All data, statistics and infor mation necessary to the public instruc tion concerning the insidious malady will be Included in the exhibit In any event. In a general way the exhibit will In clude charts revealing the relative num ber of deaths, models of open-air build ings and quarters, methods of window ventilation where open-air treatment is not possible, a pictorial representation of the progress of the disease on its victim, a representation of the tubercu lar baccili from a bacteriological stand point, the effects of sweeping where infection is possible, and a showing as to the causes and spreading of the "white plague." The reason for desiring to make the exhibit elaborate is to arouse the inter est of those who might not be Inclined to study maps, charts and tables, while at the same time they would become immediately interested in an exhibit which included a few spectacular fea tures, such as miniature models of open-air tubercular establishments and methods of window ventilation. The Board also took up the subject of school ventilation, with the idea of ultimately working out a system for uniform ventilation and heating In the schools of the entire state. It was decided to publish a bulletin soon on construction of schoolhouses so as to get the best results in heating and ventilation. This bulletin will be dis patched to all points where new school buildings are in contemplation. It is hoped tc have this bulletin in the hands of all concerned by August 1, although the tubercular exhibit can hardly be completed before September or Oc tober. BANK'S MINE FOR SALE BIDS ASKED OS COPPEROPOLIS PROPERTY. Proceeds to Go to Creditors of De funct Stockmen & Traders' Bank Through Merchants' XatiouaJ The Copperopolis mine, at Quartz burg, eight miles from Prairie City, the property of the defunct Stockmen & Traders' Bank, is to be sold at a private sale to the highest bidder. This was the order signed by Presiding Cir cuit Judge Bronaugh upon the applica tion of the Merchants' National Bank of Portland. The court was satisfied the probable value of the defunct bank s property Is $42,857, and the li abilities $31,888. The expenses of the receivership, it is said, will be $2000. The Merchant's National Bank has guaranteed that the depositors shall receive 50 per cent of their claims by November 1, and the balance by May 1, 1910. It has also guaranteed a bid high enough to cover the bank's assets, so as to pay the depositors in full. The creditors, to the amount of $27, 500, have agreed to extend the time for the payment of their claims, and it was with these facts In mind that Judge Bronaugh signed the order yes terday. Joseph R. Poland, the receiver, is directed to proceed with the sale, subject to the confirmation of the court. The Copperopolis mine was purchased by the bank for $8475 on a judgment against the corporation. The bank furniture and fixtures are also to be sold. THREE PERSONS WANT CHILD Custody of Little Marie Priolet Is Much Sought. The case involving the custody of six-year-old Marie Henriette Priolet was postponed by Juvenile Judge Bro naugh yesterday afternoon, until July 9. Three men and two women now de mand the custody of the child, but the court, it is hinted, will not allow her to be cared for by any of them. The girl was born at Toulouse, France, March 27, 1903. Henri Unglas, the child's father, filed in Juvenile Court yesterday morning a petition In which he says he deserted his wife in France, and came to this country. Bridget Josephine Priolet. the little girl's mother joined him at Coeur d'Alene, In July, 1905. But Unglas says that the Priolet wo man promised him last February she would meet him in New York. He says she went. Instead, to Aberdeen Wash., leaving the child in the care of Frederick Mesne, a local North-End saloonkeeper. The father says he has separated himself from Bridget Priolet, and has sent for his wife In France, who has expressed a willingness to adopt the child of her rival. On the other hand, the Priolet woman is said to have found a new husband, and demands the oiiild herself. HORSE DEALER IS ACCUSED Man Who Buys Team Says He Is Badly Swindled. That Le Roy T. Henderson, proprietor of a feed and sale stable at Eleventh and Jefferson streets, is engaged in swindling the patrons who go to him to buy horses, is the charge made by A. C. Rhodes in a suit filed in the Circuit Court yesterday. Rhodes says Hender son is using a man named Gentry and one Ed White as stoolpigeons. The plaintiff demands 1521. He says ne bought two horses upon the assur ance of Henderson that they were just the animals he needed to work his 18 acre potato paten. Rhodes thinks the horses were "doctored." He paid only $85 for the team, but says he paid 1100 on the lease for the land, 1 135 for seed potatoes, and enough more for utensils and labor to bring the total to 9521. TWO RAILWAY COMPANIES SUED P. R., Ij. & P. Defendant In Damage Case, as Is Oregon Electric. Annie Weir brought suit in Circuit Court yesterday afternoon against the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany, to recover $5000 damages. A car upon which she was riding October 6,- last year, turned the sharp corner at Russell street and Gantenbein ave nue, she says, at more than 12 miles an hour, throwing her violently across the car. She thinks a wrenched back and scratched hands and arms are worth $5000. ' She is 50 years old. The Oregon Electric Railway Com pany is also made the defendant in 1 damage suit filed In Circuit Court yes terday. Sarah J. Henderson, trustee of property at Alder Springs, demands $9000 for the manner in which the company has constructed Its railway over the property. She says on May 4 the company wrongfully appropriated lor Its own use a strip of land 100 feet wide, thereby damaging the prem ises through which the railway passes. DESERTION CHARGED BY WIFE But Husband Is Abusive, She Adds, and Wants Divorce. . Answering the divorce suit of Wood ford F. Young, a brakeman in the employ 01 . tne southern Facinc Company, Mrs Allie Young says he "deliberately de serted" her in January, 1906, while they were living at Bast Seventh and Oak streets. She says she married Young at Koseburg, July 30, 1894. Young earns $87.60 a month, says his wife, and Is able to pay her $30 a month. She says he has been paying $15 a month to Mrs. J. Y. Patterson, for the support of their child. The brakeman was frequently surly, cruel and abusive when he lived with his wife, she says. Anthony Lang brought suit yesterday to secure a divorce from Wilmina Lang. He says she deserted him and is now in Minnesota, with their one child. He mar ried her at Lake City, Minn., In Novem ber, 1904. CONGO HORRORS ARE TOLD Rev. Joseph Clark Brings Pictures of Atrocities. Graphic enough to bring shudders was the address of Rev. Joseph Clark, Congo missionary, as he told of the horrors Leopold of Belgium had thrust on the inhabitants of Lake Mantumba and the surrouding country. Speaking In the lower temple, he showed some of the most frightful photographs ever taken, displaying horrors almost beyond conception, forced on the natives by the orders of the Belgium ruler and his rub ber companies. Mr. Clark pictured in brief sentences some of the things he had seen. The pictures backed up what he said. He spoke of the soldiery cutting off a hand brutally, so that the victim might die and save a cartridge. "A cartridge for a human life, said the speaker. Because Leopold does not know,- but more probably because. In his self-sat lsfied complacency, he does not care, said Mr. Clark, the natives are. expected to bring In, working 40 hours a month for a year, a quantity of rubber, that, work and strive as they may, cannot possibly be obtained in under 250 days. Should t'ney fail, then soldiers are sent to punish them. Punishment is death and the sol diers are ordered to bring back, for every numan being they slay, a hand hacked from the bodies. But in his meanness, Leopold takes care the soldiers are not fully equipped. They run out of cartridges and to bring the requisite number of hands required, cut them from live bodies. I asked a noted doctor once wha proportion of people in this country so treated would survive," said Mr. Clark. He told me possibly 1 per cent. Now look at these photographs, see the enor mous number that have a hand cut off, a foot destroyed and often more than one limb cut off. "They are taken from just around my mission. Lioea tnat give you any con ception of the enormous number of peo pie mat nave oeen massacred? -Leopold recently took awav from these people the land they used to hunt and roam over. They were left but tneir little gardens. To obtain the quan tity of rubber he requires, which is get ting more dirncult all the time, thev are reaucea practically to his slaves. ucjuruie Awiur: Why. the con dittons are far worse than I can pos uiuiy icii. 1 ne tiling is so awful, so xerrioie, tnar my blood bolls when tell of what I have seen. "These pictures are a sign of what the noble white man has done in his march of progress. They are not in British dominions. Thank Heaven the Anglo Saxon will not stand for that." Mr. Clark showed pictures of the state shelters me government made so much iuss about. He said thev were on rtesn. late Islands, and the natives went there to die. unless perhaps a solitary mis sionary passed along. The pictures snowea natives that were living skele ions; some tne missionary said were ahl. to movo their heads, others could not move till they died. Possibly they were not . even moved then. "I howed some of these pictures to me tjrovernor-iieneral. I sent them mm and 1 Know they reached him, but i received no acknowledgement. I after warns sent them with an account the Central Administration at Brussels. etui no acknowledgement. But a Brus sels paper came out with a vile, lying account of a Congo missionary trying to stir up disaffection among the natives." Mr. Clark spoke of Morris and Shep herd, the two misslonarise compelled to travel 1000 miles to appear before a court to answer to a charge of libel. More than that they have to take their native missionaries 1000 miles and bring them back 10W miles. All the government will do to assist them Is to insist upon having a consular court at Boma, when they are arraigned. Apparently the missionaries had com mitted no crime. "The charged crime is merely technical, and the whole affair has been planned to get the missionaries out of the way." said Mr. Clark. "Will you speak at. the convention?" he was asked. There was scarcely a trace of bitterness, as the missionary, who had spent 27 years in the service of his society, said. "I hardly expect to. They don't want to hear missionaries when there are ao many big guns here." "THE HOTEL TRIUMPH" HOTEL KNICKERBOCKER Forty-Second Street at Broadway.

REGAN, BAKER GETS PLUM Devlin Out of Race for Presi dent of Council. NOT CANDIDATE, HE SAYS New Member Believes Post Should Be Filled by One Older In Serv ice and Peace Will Reign ' Among City Fathers. Thomas C. Devlin is not a candidate for the presidency of the City Council, and it .0 uuv. ucuxcicu mat councilman saKer t will be unanimously elected to that posl- tion at the first session of the Council, ! which will be held . Wednesday, July 7. Mr. Devlin denies that he has at any time been desirous of the honor, and says he would not take the place under any consideration, believing: it should go to an older member. This evidently means that there is to be peace and harmony in the legislative body during the Simon regime, and that the rumors of war, which have been cir culating: within the past few days, have come to nothing:. It is whispered in offi cial circles that efforts were made by .Lfevnn supporters to "land" the place for him, but he says that, if this is so, it was done without his knowledge or consent. He says he did not allow the use of his name In this connection, and that he would not think of asking: for the presi dency. With the withdrawal of Mr. Devlin Mr. Baker has a clear field, and there seems at this time every reason to believe that he will be the next president of the Coun cil, an honor which he candidly admits he seeks. Notwithstanding- the denial of Mr. Devlin that he ever sought the posi tion, it is certain that he had some sup port for the place. It is also an open secret that he was bitterly opposed to the election of Councilman Kubll, who was selected a week ago to fill the un expired term of Frank S. Bennett, Mu nicipal Judge-elect. It was just at that time that those who wished to support Mr. Devlin for the presidency of the Council were working hardest. Among these were Councilmen Cellars and Menefee. It is reported, also that Mr. Bennett himself was not at all averse to Mr. Devlin's candidacy, but he could not. of course, take an active part, and it was upon the selection of his suc cessor that the battle began. The Devlin forces sought to postpone the election of Mr. Bennett'B successor to the meeting to be held next Wednesday, but failed. Messrs. Baker and Rushlight, leaders of the antl-Devlln members, had accom plished the defeat of their opponents prior to the election, having held a cau cus and decided upon Kubli. That Mr. Devlin was seeking to dictate to the Council who should fill Mr. Ben nett's term was charged by the Baker Rushlight faction at that time. It was clearly understood in official circles that Mr. Devlin wished to be president of the council, and that he had active workers in the field, either with or without his consent. Mr. Baser rial at least nine votes pledged to him, and these refused to budge from their position, it is said, when approached by Devlin workers. It be came apparent that this combination could not be smashed, and it is declared now that a compromise proposition was broached to Baker-Rushlisrht men. offer ing Mr. Menefee for the presidency, as perhaps one who might be satisfactory to both factions. This proposition, how ever, was turned down by the Baker forces. Asked If he had any special member of the Council In mind for the presidency. Mr. Devlin replied that he has none, but mat ne Deiieves tne honor should go to one wno nas served a term In the Coun cil. Broken Iiec Case on Trial. The case of Hans Jorgensen against the Chapman Timber Company for $5000 damages on account of a broken leg, will probably go to trial on its merits, as Presiding Circuit Judge Bro naugh yesterday morning overruled the demurrer of the company to the com plaint. It was the contention of the company that its loerlne- road runnlns- five miles out from Scappoose is not a railroad, and that it was not liable for damages resulting from injury.

COLLEGES TO WIN IN END University Head Predicts Success for Denominational Schools. Denominational colleges in the North west are going through just such a period of depression and difficulty in getting public support as the Eastern colleges experienced several years ago, and from which they will emerge stronger than ever. Just as the East ern denominational colleges have done, according to Dr. Emory W. Hunt, president of Denison University In Ohio, who is at The Portland with his wife to attend the Northern Baptist Conference. Denison University has an endow men of nearly three-quarters of a mil lion dollars, and expects to get a mil lion more. It is better equipped than many Western state universities, hav ing 15 buildings, and it is attended -by 600 students. - But the university has enjoyed most 'of its growth in the last 10 years. "I am much interested in McMlnnville College, the only Baptist school in Ore gon." said Dr. Hunt. "President L. W. itiley, of McMlnnville, has shown such good executive ability in overcoming tne anncuities with which he has had to contend that the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Denison University Just before I left. He is a graduate of our Institution. It is undoubtedly a hard pull for some of the Northwest denominational colleges at present, but I expect to see them all come through their forma tive period handsomely. Several years ago in rne East for a time there was a feeling that the denominational col leges were notj accomplishing as much as the larger universities, but now the feeling is just the other way. Now it is reit by many parents that for purposes of general college education, outside of ' strictly professional and teenmcal training, the denominational colleges present advantages which the big universities with their 6000 to 6000 students cannot possibly have. The smaller colleges, for one thing, have a way of getting into personal touch with their students, and the feeling of responsibility is greater. "Of course, the denominational col lege must do more than hold prayer meetings. In the Northwest many of the coleges have not yet the equipment mat tney snouia nave, out that will all come In time, and I consider the outlook a bright one." Mntual Companies Organize.

They frequently become Incurable, If neglected. And they often terminate fatally, where the neglect is continued. Serious and dangerous disorders, of the gravest character these diseases of the bladder and kidneys, cannot receive attention too quickly, once they have attacked the human system. All derangements of the kidneys and bladder are the result of that deadly poison uric acid In the system. Some of the consequences following closely upon a neglected uric acid condition, are these: Chronic Inflammation of the kidneys, bladder and passages. Inflammatory rheumatism, dropsy, gravel and gall stones, chronic nerve disorders, dia betes, Brlght's disease, etc. De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills very quickly eliminate from the system, very trace of the deadly uric acid poi son. They accomplish this by reason of their well known antiseptic, cleansing, curative, healing and stimulating action upon the kidneys, bladder and liver.
