TRAVELTO BE HEAVY Colonist Rates This Fall Will Draw Many Settlers. 63,000 ARE EXPECTED Rates Begin September 15 and Ad vinre Reports From Railroad Agents Indicate Heavier Traf fic Than Ever Before. Next Saturday and Sunday the van guard of the thousands of colonists who will take advantage of one month of low rats on all Western railroads, will reach Portland. The rates, which are the same as those f last Spring, which brought. It Is esti mated. 63.000 new settlers to the Pacific Northwest, go Into effect September 15. At this end of the line practically all that is known concerning the prospective volume of travel Is based on reports from the Eastern offices, where the ticket are sold. These reports are opti mistic, and the railroads are assembling equipment in the belief they will have all the passengers they can handle. In quiries have been pouring Into Eastern offices for weeks and the scope of the Interest awakened Is further Indicated by numerous purchases made In Port land of tickets to be delivered to relatives of the purchasers In the East. The advertising given the Northwest by the A.-Y.-P. Exposition is expected greatly to augment the colon tat travel. Thousands of persons who gained their first knowledge of the Pacific Northwest while visiting the Exposition. It Is be lieved, have gone home determined to re turn to this section of the country to live. A great proportion of such people will take advantage of the low rates of fered on the railway lines for the 30 days beginning September 15. Last Spring the rates were In force f"r three months and the Increase in travel was therefore spread out over a longer period than will be possible this Fall. If the Interest shown Is anything like that in the early part of the year, the pouring In of settlers confined to a 30 day period will probably have a greater dally volume than ever before. This Increased travel will be handled on the transcontinental roads by the regular trains, which will run In sections. The first tourist-laden trains will pull out of the Missouri River terminals next Wednesday and will, therefore, reach Portland Saturday. The colonist rate from Chicago to Portland Is J33; from Omaha and St. Paul, J25; and from St. Louis, 130.50. GRAIN" RATE DECISION OBSCURE O. R. & X. AVill Await Full Text Be fore Deciding on Course. Officials of the O. R. A N. are await ing the full text of the decision of the Washington Railway Commission before announcing what policy the railroad will adopt In view of the 12i per cent re duction In wheat rates ordered by the Commission on Northern Pacific sched ules. When asked yesterday If the O. R. 4 N. will meet the cut.. R. B. Miller, gen eral freight agent, replied that until he was more fully informed as to the con tents of the ruling he preferred not to make any comments. "We have no knowledge as to the scope of the ruling," said Mr. Miller, 'whether it applies to rates between wheat-shipping centers and Spokane alone, or between such points, and Seat tle or Tacoma, or all points. "We do not know whether the North ern Pacific will contest the decision or not. Therefore, I cannot say what. If any, effect It will have on the O. R. ' & N. rates. At present the wheat rates from Eastern Washington to Portland are as low as the rates to Puget Sound over the other lines." "Would you not say, as a broad prin ciple, that the rates to Portland will not be higher In future than those to iPuget Sound?" was asked. said Mr. Miller. "I can only say that the O. R. & N. will protect Its own In terest to the best of its ability." The general Impression concerning the Washington Commission's decision on wheat rates Is that a flat reduction has been ordered on all wheat rates except those prevailing on the Washington Cen tral branch of the Northern Pacific. Taking this view, members of the Oregon Commission express the opin ion that the O. R. & N., to hold 4ts share of the traffic, will be compelled to meet the new rate on the Northern Pacific once It Is put In force. Those who axe familiar with interstate com merce regulations say that, furthermore. If a reduction on wheat rates to Port land from Washington territory Is In augurated, the railroads making such re duction to comply with interstate com merce regulations must name equivalent rates from corresponding territory In Oregon. ITER PROJECT ON Many Excursions Coming. A Texas excursion party of about 20, under the auspices of the Star-Telegram, of Fort Worth, visited Portland yester day. Today a spft:ial train will bring 100 Pennsy lvanlans to Portland and the day will be spent In this city. The party was organized by the Pennsylvania Railway and Is coming via the Northern Pacific from Seattle. Then it will go east over the North Bank. Wednesday morning three cars full of Southern Idaho people, on their way to Seattle to spend Idaho day at the Exposition, will arrive In Portland. A KtUX ENTERPRISE.

King, of Portland, Plans Enterprise That Promises Much in Development of a Rich Country. Announcement was made yesterday by William r King, of this city, of plans for the generation of power from the waters of the Upper Klickitat River and the irrigation of 45 square miles of rich land In the heart of , Camas Prairie. A company has been organized to take over the proposition under the name of the Klickitat Valley Develop ment Company, for which Incorporation papers are now being drawn up. Mr. King said that this company Is backed by $750,000 of Eastern capital, and that W. N. Coler, Jr., of New York City, Is the financial agent. Mr. King, how everrls the man at the helm. Mr. King declared that 40,000 horse power will be developed at the ter minus of the flumes to be built, where the water diverted from the Klickitat River will have a fall to the river bed of 700 feet. "We have already started work con structing the headworks for diverting the water," stated Mr. King. "A large crew has been at work for two weeks at this, and In connection with the work we have established a large camp about ten miles above Glenwood on the Klickitat River. , "The point at which the river Is di verted Is In a canyon 250 feet deep at a point about ten miles above Glenwood. The ditches or flumes will be sent down the river a distance of about eight miles, where the water will be used for both irrigation and power. The flume will rise along- the side of the canyon and will eventually be on the level of the banks at a point about six miles down stream. Then it will be carried about two miles farther down. The canyon walls get deeper and deeper all along the river, and at tne point where we will put in the power sta tion there will be a fall of 700 feet In returning the water to its proper chan nel. "This power plant will be near the town of Glenwood on Camas Prairie. A portion of the water will be used for Irrigation, while the rest will be re turned to the river through a power house, developing 40.000 horsepower. A portion of the power thus developed will be used to pump the water to higher levels, thus giving a greater space than the 45 square miles on the prairie proper Irrigation. Some will be used for pumping in the Takima dis trict and along the low flats of the Columbia River. There will be no trouble In distributing this power as far as Pasco. "We already own 3000 acres of those lands in the Camas Prairie district In connection with this project, and have an actually paid-in capital of $750,000 to back up the work. This proposition Jias been quietly worked up for the past 18 months until all rights, priv ileges and lands have been acquired. "Our work is now being pushed rap Idly. It is the intention to finish all the diversion headworks at the present stage of the river and then, during the extreme low water of December, Janu ary and February, to turn the flow of the river through these headworks. while the construction of the dam is completed. "This project of mine Is to take the water out of the river below the point where the water would be taken by the Horse Heaven project of which so much has been said. I would like to call attention to the fact that this lat ter project takes the water from the Klickitat River to Horse Heaven, a point 125 miles away, clear-out of the Klickitat drainage basin and out of Klickltai County, while our project utilizes all the water on the irrigated lands in Klickitat County and in the watershed of the river."

Old Scheme of Taking 20 Feet From West Side Is Agitated and Bid.' Fair to Go Through. The movement to make East Water street 80 feet wide, between Hawthorne avenue and East Morrison street, has been revived and a petition to start pro ceedings for the widening of the street is now being circulated. D. C. O'Reilly and his associates, who own property at the east approach to the Madison-street bridge, have the matter In hand- The plan proposed by Joseph Supple, ship builder, who has a block on the west side of East Water street, two years ago, has been adopted in the new movement. It Harris Trunk Co. for trunks and bagr,. FRANK L. SMITH MEAT CO. - "FIGHTING THE BEEF TRUST," Last January The Smith Markets served a quality of Baby Beef which was the talk of the town.

Breasts of Spring Lamb 8J Shoulders of Spring Lamb 10 Hindquarters and Legs of Spring Lamb 15 Is proposed to take 20 feet oft the west side of property and add this strip to the street. The property-owners on that side of the street will be asked to give ten feet off their land and the owners of the property between East Water and East First streets will be assessed the value of the ten-foot strip and pay the amount to the property-owners' on the west .side of the street, who give 20 feet of the land. This plan Is considered fair to all con cerned. There are some brick buildings on th east side of the street, and only frama structures on the west side to move. Practically all the blocks on the west side are from 600 to 700 feet deep, extendi? out to the harbor line, and th 20-foot strip taken to make the SO-foot street would not be a great loss. It Is thought. The only buildings that wouPKave to be moved are those of Mr. Supple and the Troy Laundry, and these. It is said, can be moved without difficulty. Mr.. Supple is as enthusiafctic as ever over the move ment, and declares it outrht to be carried through. He points out that a great busi ness must be done on East Water street and that a wide street is necessary. I i
