TITE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY. AUGUST 13, 1909. 16 HARRIMAN COUNSEL GET CONTINUANCE Hearing of Deschutes Injunc tion Suit in Federal Court Is Postponed. COMES UP NEXT TUESDAY Postponement Consented To by At torneys for Oregon Trunk Six ty Miles or Right of Way Are Involved. Argument on the motion to dissolve the temporary Injunction obtained the first of the week by the Oregon Trunk against the Deschutes Railroad Com pany will be heard by United States Judge Bean in the Federal Court next Tuesday. This case, which Involves the southerly 60 miles of the rights of way of the two rival roads, was to have ! been heard today. As a result of a conference between W. W. Cotton, rep- J resenting the Harriman property, and ' Judge C. H. Carey, of counsel for the Oregon Truns, Judge Wolverton yes terday consented to a continuance of the hearing until ID o'clock Tuesday morning. This will enable Mr. Cotton to complete the preparation of affi davits on which he will rely in part in resisting the prayer of the complain ant company that the temporary in junction be made perpetual. Efforts on the part of the Oregon Trunk to .obtain the upper hand in the right-of-way controversy over the first 40 miles of the Deschutes will be op- ; posed vigorously by the Harriman rep resentatives. That such a move is in tended by Porter Bros, is reflected in the second suit of Importance as re lating to the situation which was filed In the United States Court here yes terday. In substance, the opposition to the Harriman road asks the court to permit them to construct the railroad at such points In the canyon as the surveys of the two rads conflict, and where there is not sufficient room to build two separate railroads. At the same time tne Oregon Trunk people propose that the court shall determine the regulations and terms under which the opposing road shall nave the right to use Its track over such places in the canyon. In resisting this step in the legal battle which has been Introduced by the Oregon Trunk, Mr. Cotton, legal coun sel for the Harriman lines, will con tend that the Harriman road is the possessor of a priority of right over the Oregon Trunk, as to the survey for the first 40 miles up the Deschutes. He has in his possession official records from the Secretary cf the Interior at Washington informing the Harriman people that, while the maps of survey for both roads for this distance were approved at the same time, the maps f the Deschutes Railroad Company were given priority by reason of the activity of Its representatives in com plying with the conditions Imposed by the Reclamation Department before any such survey would be approved. OREGOV TRUXK FILES XEW SCIT Seeks Right of Way Where Surveys Conflict in Deschutes Canyon. Through another suit filed in the United States Court yesterday against the Des chutes Railroad Company, the Oregon Trunk asks the court for an adjudication of the rights of way of the two rival roads for the first 40 miles up the Deschutes River. "Where there Is not suf ficient room for the construction and op eration of two tracks, the complainant company requests the court to be desig nated as the company which shall con struct the track. The suit proposes that in that event, the court also shall nx the amount of money the Deschutes Railroad shall pay towards the construction of the single track by the Oregon Trunk and shall prescribe regulations for the use of the property by the opposition road. Pending a determination of the suit, for which a date has not been set for hear ing, the Harriman force. are restrained from in any way interfering with the ' right of way of the Oregon Trunk in the 40 miles involved in the suit. With the filing of this suit yesterday, the Oregon Trunk, through Its attorneys. Carey & Kerr, of this city, has succeeded Jn restraining temporarily the Harriman forces from proceeding further in con struction work at all points on the pro jected road for the first 100 miles ex tending southerly from the mouth of the Deschutes River where there exists a conflict in the surveys of the rival roads. It Is more than probable that the injunc tion suit affecting the southerly 60 miles . of this distance, which was filed by the : Oregon Trunk attorneys Monday, will be ' disposed of first. Argument in this case ! has been set for next Tuesday, i In the complaint filed yesterday It is J recited that the maps of survey for the I first 40 miles of the two projected roads I were approved by the Secretary of the ' Interior on the same day. June 21. last. ' It is alleged in the complaint that the two surveys cross each other at a mim ,ter of places within a distance of about 12 miles. At other points In the canyon. It is charged in the complaint that the grades which have been determined by the two roads for the construction of their respective tracks so far differ that it will be impossible for the two tracks to be constructed and for a railroad to be- operated upon each of them. "The complainant Is Informed and be lieves." continues the complaint, "that It Is possible for both the railroad of the complainant and the railroad of the de fendant to be constructed through that portion of the Deschutes River herein designated as the canyon, upon a loca tion, in a manner and with grades and curves, that are fo each of said rail roads practicable in maintenance and op eration, but that such construction and locatton can be had oniy by a modifica tion and change of the location of grades and curves of each of the proposed rail roads." It is further recited In the complaint that the plaintiff company has assembled men and equipment for the construction of its 11ns and is proceeding with con struction work at points both north and south of the conflicting points in the first 40 miles: that It Is necessary to have the conflicts adjusted that the road may be completed consecutively from the starting point at the mouth of the Des chutes River and thenoe southerly up that stream before It will be possible to complete and operate the proposed road satisfactorily. The court is asked to determine the location where the roads may be con structed at points where there Is now a conflict so that neither will interfere with the other. It i also asked of the court to determine upon what portion of the canyon only one railroad can be con structed and operated and "as to that portion of the canyon will by proper order permit the complainant to construct its railroad and prescribe the grades and: curves upon wheh it shall be constructed, and will fix and prescribe the terms upon which and the manner in which the defendant may be permitted to oper ate Its trains thereon, and will determine and fix the proportion of the cost of the construction thereof which the defendant ought to pav, and will decree the pay ment thereof by the defendant to the complainant." WILIj SHOW KEED OF NEW LIXE Peninsular Citizens Xante Agent to Take rp Matter With Company. W J Peddlcord has been appointed by the 'citizens' committee from the Penin sula, which is urging the Portland Rall- t i,. a. Power Company to extend its North Alblna-Kenton branch on to St. John, to submit In writing a state ment to the president of the company the advantages of the new line. This committee held a conference with Vice President F. I. fuller about this exten sion and went over the subject fudly. Mr Fuller admitted on the showing that the branch is needed, but referred the committee to the president. The line, if extended, will run from Ken ton to the north bridge that is being built across the cut for the North Bank line, where the north loop of the St. John line will cross this cut also. The distance Is about two miles. By building this short branch, there will be two main electric railways down the Peninsula the pres ent one down the middle of the district and the new one from North Alblna to Kenton and to Bast St. John. The lat ter line will serve the manufacturing dis trict, including the Swift plant, the Mon arch Sawmill, the proposed wood pipe concern and the numerous other plants that are in prospect for this district It is urged by the committee that the line would be a paying one. and must be built in the future, if not now. The railway company is now pushing con struction from Klllingsworth avenue, and will soon have the branch completed to Kenton. Two miles more of trackage, said Mr. Peddcord. will complete the gap and furnish another through line along the north side of the Peninsula, where all these great enterprises are being erected.

E OPEN SHOP TODAY Serious Situation on Docks Is Brought to Crisis by Ex porters of Grain. WHEAT DIVERTED TO SOUND Refusal of Union to Enter Into an Agreement With Exporter the Cause Immense Cost to Port Iilkely to Ensue. (Continued Prom First Pare.) If the trouble is not healed over soon and amicably adjusted, it is more than probable that the other waterfront unions, with a total membership of be tween 800 and ' 1000 men, will be drawn into trouble. The true significance of this move on the part of the exporters and its vast importance to the future welfare of this city can be better appreciated when it is stated that coincident with the declaring of the open shop, wheat which was to have been shipped here over the North Bank road from the interior was directed to be sent to Puget Sound, by the Port land Flouring Mills Co., yesterday. And several grain ships recently chartered with the option of loading here or on the Sound, and which were first ordered here, have likewise been diverted to the Sound. More than this, it was stated emphati cally by Theodore B. Wilcox, president of the Portland Flouring Mills Company, and Peter Kerr, of Kerr, Qifford & Co., that if it is found difficult to get the grain handled here under the $3 rate, every bushel of the huge shipments that annually leave this port will be diverted direct to the Sound and loaded for for eign shipment there. Serious Effect on Port. How much this would injure tho city 1b difficult to realize. Last year was an off year for the wheat crop, but the total shipment to all porfs for the year ending June 30 amounted to 9,280,896 bushels. This was worth somewhat more than $9,600,000. For the same period the Sound exported only 6.705,836 bushels. For the season of 1907-08, which was a normal year, from here was exported lfi.844,790 bushels, valued at more than tlS.OOO.OOt1. All this vast quantity of wheat Is in danger of being routed to Puget Sound. Last year's barley shipments from here reached 822,609 bushels and the year before they were 1,001,078. This, too, would go to swell the Sound shipments. To handle this year's anticipated crop, at least 200 sailing ships will be required. Of these about 50 have already been chartered. With the exception of a few in-bound cargo carriers, every one of these ships has been chartered with the option of sending it to Puget Sound. These ships can be diverted there with no extra expense to the shippers. Each sailing ship while In port disburses at the lowest $6000, and where there are amy re pairs to make, this amount often reaches $15,000. Estimating only $6000 each for 200 ships, a grand total of $1.200 000 in this way alone is in danger of being lost to Portland and sent to Puget Sound. Cost of Handling Grain. It was estimated by one of the expor ters yesterday that the cost of handling their grain, including cleaning and re sacklng, amounts to between 40 cents and 60 cents a ton. During last year's slack season, the wages thus paid for handling the wheat alone amounted to more than $250,000. In a good year they would be. nearly $400,000. This vast sum, too, will be lost to Portland unless the difficulty is adjusted. The whole issue between the export ers and the union, on which so much depends, can be summed up by the statement that grain will be loaded here at the same rate as on Puget Sound, or not at all. "Our action in declaring the open shop means that until we find whether we will be able to secure enough labor at SO cents an hour here, all wheat for this port will be shipped direct to Puget Sound," said Theodore B. Wilcox, president of Port of Portland Flouring Mills Company. "Until this difference is settled no wheat will be shipped here except from points along the O. R. & N. where this is the only outlet, and even in this event It is probable that arrangements will be made to have it shipped on to the Sound at the same rate over the Northern Pacific The recent trafflo agreement between Portland and Seattle between the Hill and Harriman lines should make this possible. Big Wheat Docks Idle. "It means aiso that we shall not use the new North. Bank wheat dock here. We can't use It. All our wheat that should come here over the North Bank road will go to the Sound. I have al ready given orders to that effect. I am very sorry that after trying? he says for 14 years to get Jim Hill to build a railroad here with the promise of a great wheat traffic to have to divert it back to the Sound. "Heretofore we have found that, tak ing Into consideration the Inexperi enced floating labor on the Sound at 30 cents an hour we could load our wheat almost as cheaply here by pay ing experienced men 35 cents an hour. In fact, I have always stood up for paying thera 85 cents. The men here have had experience, and they are men of families who live here, and I have wanted to see them well paid. But now they want 40 cents. We won't stand for a holdup, which is what it amounts to. And we will send our wheat to Puget Sound just as long as we have difficulty here. "We shall enter Into no negotiations with the union. No union men will be employed from now on, and we shall try to Bee that none of the men who SHIPPERS EC LA R fco The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the neck, sores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weak eyes, and general poor health. The Inherited poison, transmitted through the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of it3 nutritive qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality of the entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint, have spent their childhood in constant physical suffering, and grown to manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth, and perhaps later some disease of the bones or joints developed. 8.

I am just as much a friend of this city as I ever have been, and just as anxious to see it build up and be the leading wheat port, but we are simply com pelled by the circumstances to take the action we have taken." No More Dealings With Union. Peter Kerr, of Kerr, Glfford & Co., who Is chairman of the exporter's com mittee which treated with the union, declared also that no future dealings would be carried on with the union. "All wheat will certainly be sent to the Sound if we cannot get men here for 30 cents," said Mr. Kerr. - "We have declared the open shop be cause the' grain handlers would not enter a contract with us for 35 cents and would not let us know definitely what they pro posed to do. At today's meeting we asked their committee if they would sign for 36 cents. They answered that they could not get enough members of their union together to warrant them in doing so. Then we asked If they would recommend the contract to their union. They would not We asked next if they would recom mend to their union to demand 40 cents an hour. Although they could not get enough men together to recommend the 35 -cent contract, we were given to understand that they would recommed 40 cents an hour. "The situation on the Sound, so far as we are able to learn, Is absolutely nor mal, with no prospect at this time of any strike movement. Men are very plentiful, both up and down the Sound, and we do not anticipate the slightest difficulty in procuring more than we require at any time." Those who attended the meeting of the exporters and representatives of the union at which negotiations were rup tured, were Peter Kerr, of Kerr, Glfford & Co.: Theodore B. Wilcox, of the Port land Flouring Mills, and D. A. Patullo, of Balfour, Guthrie & Co., for the grain exporters; and President W. M. Clark and Secretary Joseph Foley, of Grain handlerB' Union, Local No. 4; with A. E. Deyoe, P. M. Sullivan, J. Hawk and James Dickson, members of the union's executive committee. Union' Secretary Talks. Secretary Foley said last night that he could not say what action his union would take at this time. "The last season was such a slack one that our membership is very low Just now." said Foley. "Our men are scat tered all over. We will probably not take any Immediate action toward strik ing, unless we are forced to do It as a protective measure. "We have hitherto refused to renew our contract, which expired last April, for the reason that so many members of our union are away. At yesterday's meeting we would not commit ourselves for the same reason, as we had no authority to do so. There is a strong sentiment in the union, however, in favor of 40 cents an hour. "On Puget Sound there Is a floating class of workmen, men who come . In and work for a short time and then blow out of town again, men inexperienced for the most part. Attempts to perfect an or ganisation there have never been a suc cess because of the low type of work men. Wages have consequently been kept down to 30 cents an hour. "Some yetfc-s ago grainhandlers here were getting1 40 cents an hour and 60 cents overtime, but it was reduced in the panic, when we were told that everything would cost less and living would be cheaper. On the contrary, living now costs 20 to 30 per cent more than at that time." Other Unions May Be Involved. Mr. Foley intimated that the affiliated waterfront unions are pretty certain to be drawn Into the trouble If It goes very THE CURE FOR SCROFULA VAR1CO VEIN In this treatment of Varicose Veins of men we have developed methods entirely new and wonderfully suc cessful.

As head of this company I have re peatedly offered lare sums for proof of such cures, and such proof would be worth tons of argument these claims are fatuous absurdity. This ailment can be cured by go ing to a hospital for operation, but such a procedure entails the use of chloroform, nurse hire, big- expense and loss of time.

Kidney, Bladder and Urinary Diseases The finctkn of these orgrans are the most important of the body, and the derangement or obstruction of them is fraught with the most disastrous consequences. It Is of the .highest Importance that whenever there is reason to suspect that the kidneys, bladder or prostate are out of order, a diagnosis of a searching and scientific character should be made. Too often these examinations are superficial, hasty and made with inadequate testing methods, and the consequence is that the pa tient is frequently lulled into a feel ing of safety, to realize when too late that he is in the clutches of a i St. Louis Medical Go. far. Among these unions are Longshore men, with about 200 members; the Team drivers' Union, with 400 members; the Riggers' and Lighters' Union, with 35 to BO members: the Shipwrights', Calkers' and Jointers' Union, with about 100 mem bers, and the Portland Hoisting Steam Engineers' Union, about 100 strong, mak ing atal of nearly 1000 men. Should all the wheat trade be diverted to the Sound, most of these men would find themselves out of work.

Prejudice from one cause or an other prevents many men from doing their duty toward themselves in this respect. Prejudice is an unreason able and a stout enemy to overcome, but if men do not overcome it, it will overcome them and blind them to great benefits in more ways than one.

I cure all diseases of men by methods o my own devising. These methods are a radi cal departure from the ordinary medical practice, which attempts to cure every ill of mankind by stomach drugging and thus kills more people than are cured. In my practice I do mt drug the stomach at all, but I apply healing medicines of my own directly to the diseased region, and thus effect' a complete and permanent cure In a very short time. My treatment never fails, as my unbroken record, covering a period of over 25 years, fully proves. Don't be practiced and experimented upon by physicians, druggists, electric belts and incompetent specialists. My large prac tice and quick, thorough methods enable me to cure men's diseases in half the time and about one-fourth the usual fees asked. My guarantee is: Not a Dollar Need Be Paid Until Cured CONTRACTED DISORDERS The serious results that may follow neglect of contracted diseases could scarcely be exaggerated. Safety demands an absolutely thorough cure in the least possible time. I have treated more cases of contracted disorders than any other physician upon the Pacific Coast. My cures are thorough and are accomplished in less time than other forms of treatment require in producing even doubtful results. I employ reme dies of myi own devising and my treatment is equally effective in both recent and chronic cases. VARICOSE VEINS There is no necessity for surgical operations in the treatment of Vari cose Veins. This disease yields completely to my mild and painless method, and results are far better than were ever attained by the harsh and dan gerous practice of cutting. But one week is required, and seldom is it even necessary to detain the patient from his business. CONSULTATION AND DIAGNOSIS FREE I do not charge for advice, examination or diagnosis.
