ENEMIES' RAID FAILURE Efforts to Pound Down Market by False Rumors Come to Naught, and System Is Stronger Than Before. VEW YORK. Sept. 19-(Speclal.-Those who placed confidence in tne .torle. that thydeath of E. H Hairtman would only hurry the promulgation of the Union Pacific segregation plan are J appointed over the fact that the subject of Union Pacifie s segregation has been suddenly dropped, while the people ho discussed It most actively a week; ago are now talking about hard coal road plans and big doings in other railroads, and naturally enough they ask them selves If the talk about hard coal roads melons Is not within a few days to dwin dle away Into nothing. In the two last formal statements of the late E. H. Harriman. there were ref erences to the interest shown in his con dition by friends "and others" and to the attempt to raid his properties during his absence In Europe. These references bore a strong flavor of resentment. Rumors Set at Rest. Information emanating from the American Bankers' Association conven tion alleged the miscarriage of a plan for the reorganization of the finances of the Union Pacific and the segrega tion of Its Investment assets through the formation of a stock market pool which prompted Mr. Harriman to re pudiate the plan. . There has been some dread that an open breach would result among tha Insiders In the property and that the In tegrity of the market pool In United States Steel would also be endangered by the hostile measures likely to de velop. It was relief from the effect of this apprehension that had much to do with the buoj-ant recovery of securities last week. Stocks Stand Strain. The announcement of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. that they were acting with the City National Bank and other Interests In Union Pacific, gave the first check to anxiety in this matter. It was renewed to this extent at the opening of last week by the failure to elect J. P. Morgan. Jr.. on the Union Pacific board. The return of enormous blocks of Union Pa cific stock from the closing of the books of the company which had been borrowed tor the purpose of representation at the Union Pacific annual meeting, figured as an additional cause of uneasiness in the sharp break In prices which occurred at the opening of the week. In this mood much importance was attached to the election of the Junior Morgan as a direc tor of the National City Bank and of Chairman James Stlllman of that bank as a director of the Cleveland. Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis road. Market Gains Strength. The fact that one Morgan partner al ready sits on the National City Bank board and that James Stlllman has long been a director of the New York Central was not allowed to detract from the Im portance assigned to this episode In the prevailing spirit of the speculation. Set free from the restraint of the fears of quarrels among financiers and from the long dread of shock to follow the passage of Air. Harriman, the stock mar ket showed extraordinary resiliency.

The strike is affording a fine oppor tunity for the hoodlum element along the wharves to enjoy. Itself by destroying property and assaulting non-union men. Of all the men arrested today, not one admitted he belonged to the Carmen's Union, but was moved to commit overt acts through his "sympathy" for the cause. Sporadic car service was maintained today with no attempt to run on sched ules. Tonight all cars were withdrawn. The strikers. 330 strong, paraded the streets today. led by a band. The strikers say they are willing to put the entire difficulty up to President Taft when he arrives and abide strictly by his decision. Trouble Expected Today. ' AH factions anticipate serious rioting tomorrow, when the strike-breakers, who are seasoned veterans In their profession, take out the cars. They will be housed In one of the car barns and closely guarded by the police and county forces, but they are certain to run Into trouble when away from the barns.

TRANSFER 15 URGED Forestry Service May Go to Interior Department. LOUD WAILS ARE EXPECTED Today Is positively the last day -or dis count on East Side) gas bills. Bead "Gas Tips." " Pinohot and Conservationists Will Set Up Howl, but If President Makes Suggestion, Anti-Administration Will Lose Out. ORBGOKIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Sept. 19. As a result of the Plnchot-Ballinger row, tha Administra tion may later determine to recommend the transfer of tna Forest Service from the Department of Agriculture to the Department of tlie Interior. Such a change can only be made by act of Con gress, and It probably would call for considerable pressure from the President in order to get the necessary authority, especially If GIfford Pinchot la permitted to remain as Chief Forester. The Forest Service, in the opinion of most Western men in Congress, Is mis placed In the Department of Agricul ture. It has nothing in common with the other bureaus of that department, but has much In common with the Gen eral Land Office and Geological Survey, both of which are bureaus of the De partment of the Interior. In its present situation, the Forest Service is. or until recently was, in effect an independent bureau, subject to only nominal super vision by a Cabinet officer. That Is why Ihe Forest Service was allowed to grow up In the Agricultural Department, and that Is why Mr. Pinchot has always op posed transfer to the Interior Depart ment. Transfer Forest Service? On several occasions the suggestion has been made that the Forest Service should be transferred to that department with which its work is most intimately asso ciated, but during the last Administra tion Mr. Pinchot had sufficient influence with the President to get the support of the Administration In his objection to the change, and nothing ever came of the suggestion. Now, however, especially In the light of recent developments, Mr. Pinchot may not receive the same hearty support from tho President, but may find the President himself leading In the demand for the transfer. As a matter of fact, there Is division of authority over forest reserves as things are now. The Interior Depart ment, through the General Land Office, has control over all questions of title to lands in the reserves, and also has solo control over the enlargement or diminu tion of reserve areas. The management of reserves, on the other hand, is solely vested In the Forest Service, under the Secretary of Agriculture. Naturally, there is much correspondence between the Forest Service and the Land Office, end under prevailing systems, this corre spondence must pass through the hands of both the Secretsry of Agriculture and Secretary of the Interior before reaching the office where action Is to be taken or reply made. This is cumbersome, as well as dilatory. Separated Xow From Land Office. If the Forest Service was made a bu reau of the Interior Department, it would be on equal footing with the Land Office, and under the control of the same Cabi net officer. The Secretary of the In terior then would have a say, not only as to questions of title to forest reserve lands, but as to all questions of forestry administration. The two lines of work are naturally closely allied; the Land Office and Forest Service naturally be long under a single Jurisdiction, and common sense demands that they be In the same department of the Government. But the minute a move is made to transfer the Forest Service, GIfford Pin chot will let out a howl provided he is still at the head of the Forest Service. He will set up the cry hat he is to be handicapped; that the haids of the For est Service are to be tied, and that the real work of managing the Government forests Is to be placed In the hands of men who do not understand forestry. The views of Secretary Balllnger on this question of transfer are likely to carry much weight with the President. If he recommends consolidation, it will be be cause he believes the change would be In the interest of better administration, and he will be prepared to give his rea sons. Whether or not it Js the intention of Secretary Balllnger to make such a recommendation, cannot now be learned. He may make no such move unless his opinion is solicited by the President. But if he believes in the transfer, and says so. it is a reasonably safe guess the President will urge Congress to authorlie the change. BLAME ON BABY-MOTHERS Children Die From Other Causes Than Impure Milk, Is Stated. PORTLAND. Sept. lS. (To the Edi tor.) Speaking of the milk supply of Portland, there has been much said, yet I would add more. Recently a Portland woman wrote a communication to an evening paper, saying that her baby died from milk sold by a certain milk man. She gave the milk to tho baby in the gruel with which she was feeding him about once or twice. Of course she didn't say that, but it is known, anyway. Furthermore, she says that her baby BPSSSBBBSSSSSa . ; :-. :: M''J ; ' -v: I AT THE LEFT, C. F. LOREEl AT THE RIGHT, MARVIN HUGHITT, AND NEXT TO HIM, JACOB SCHIFF. never had a sick day until she fed it this milk. In fact, the baby had been expected to die several times before, and had hardly seen a well day from the day it was born till the day it died, and I want to say in this particular case that the milk was not at fault. I' can verify this statement, as I am well acquainted with this party. Most of these deaths of babies are caused from Just as many other causes as milk. In the first place, most of these mothers, who are themselves hardly out of the cradle and whose mothers spoiled them half-to-nothing, don't know how to take care of their offspring. Some will take the cream off the milk and feed it to the baby. Other mothers fill up the babies with deadly, all-colored candy. "Worst of all, the other day When I walked to town, I saw two tiny girls chewing on a long ear of raw corn. Earti one had an ear of corn, and they seemed to enjoy it. Of course, it tasted sweet. Now, any mother of good sense would know that death lurks In raw corn, and sometimes even in canned corn. Dozens of foolish mothers will let their children have something to eat some times not fit for a dog. Then, when the baby dies, and the mother is asked what the matter was, she answers: "Well. It was the bad milk we are getting." The physicians, when they can't think of any ther cause of death, also blame the milk. I am glad that he authorities are investigating, and teaching some of these milk men a lesson. Some need it very badly, and I am for clean milk my self. , , I am not writing all this to injure anyone, but Just to show that deaths occur sometimes from some other cause than milk. I am not a dairyman, but I was a milkmaid .when I was home. I am now married and living in this city and living off tha milk supply brought in from the ranches. I buy a gallon of milk every day, and have four large, robust boys, and healthier children on could not find anywhere. They were all bottle babies from the day they were born till they were 8 months old. They had nothing to live on but cow's milk, and that not from one special cow. It was from 60 to 80 cows. Even now they get their two cups of milk each meal, and when we go to the ranch we all fill up to our hearts' content. If one of my family should die I most certainly would not blame the milk.

Thousands of Trees Are Being Planted on River Bottom Lands Near Capital City. SALEM. Or., Sept. 19. (Special.) The Willamette Valley peach crop is a revelation this year even to the grow ers, who are accustomed to big crops and big. profits. In the orchard of Al exander Lafollette, in the Mission Bot tom country, north of Salem, tha yield is so heavy that it was found necessary to place hundreds of props under the' trees to keep the branches from break- '"LifoUette picked 2000 boxes from 87 trees this year, and his son Clyde, at Wheatland, on the west side of the river, has 15 acres which brought, him in this year about $1000 an acre. W. H. Eagan. a veteran grower, fre quently has peaches on the market for four months during a single season by growing several varieties. His crop this year Is large. W. Al Jones will have about 7000 boxes, and the price will average better than l a box. William Wright last year cleared $1500 off 10 acres of peaches the first crop from the trees. The acreage of peaches is Increasing faster relatively than that of any other fruit grown in this section. L. H. McMahan Is setting out thousands of young trees on the old Judge Hubbard place in Mission Bot tom, and others are going into peaches extensively. Veteran Player Retires. CHICAGO. Sept. 19. Fred Tenney, veteran first baseman of the New York Nationals, today told Manager McGraw he had played his last game In the major league. He then left for his home at Wlnthrop Highlands, near Boston. He has been injured several times this year and con vinced that he is practically through with basa'"' Indians Give Realistic Representa tion of Winter Campaign of 1817, When Idaho Tribe Was Thor ' oughly Cowed by Troops. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Sept. 19. (Special.) Under the leadership of Ha-Mene-Ka-Wah, which Is Yakima for Old Wolf, some 12 Nez Perce warriors in full war drets today rode through the main streets of the oity and out to Sumach Park, where the braves gave a realistic representation of their long Winter cam paign of 1877, when they fought the Sioux and the Federal troops, and were virtually destroyed as an important tribe. Behind their leader, who In ordinary life is L. V. McWhorter, a blood brother of the Yakimas and a local real estate man, rode such noted warriors as Ha-Mene-Mox-Mox, nephew of Chief Joseph, tho terrible leader of the Nez Perces in their last campaign; Two Moons, About Sleep, and Eagle-Making-a-Roar, as well as two-score other braves of the tribe, who came here from hop-picking to take part In the state fair races. Hearing that there was no fair this year, the Indians appealed to McWhorter, who made arrangements for their exhibition at the park. Stringing along behind the mounted warriors came many squaws, garbed in blankets and bright shawls, and carry ing or leading their motley array qf chil dren, many of whom carried miniature tom-toms, which they beat in rough time. Out beyond the paved streets of the city the procession went, through the dusty roads, and finally to the green shade of the park, where the squaws and young sters formed a great ring, in the center of which the Indians gave their cere monial dances. A war dance, a dance of the dead, and a dance of harvest were the principal features, after which the mounted braves gave a realistic representation of their last fight In the Winter of 1877. Of those who took part in the exhibi tion, perhaps the most prominent was Ha-Mene-Mox-Mox. or Yellow Wolf, the nephew of Chief Joseph. Still towering in his strength in spite of the three wounds which he carries as souvenirs of his fighting days, he dominated all the other braves present in the pageant. He was 18 years old at the time of the fight ing, but was one of the most ferocious braves during that campaign. At the death of his uncle he hid his arms be neath his blanket and fled through the night, finally collecting a small band of his tribesmen, and starting an Independ ent warfare. He was soon captured by his hereditary enemies, the Sioux, and, after being held prisoner until all his folio srers had been killed, succeeded In escaping once more, and wandered about for many months, finally returning to the Government agency of hia. own accord. . About Sleep, who rode a great white horse throughout the day, was promi nent because of the splash of bright red on the chest of his steed, symbolic of the fatal wound his own charger received in the final battle of his tribe. Come Down, another of the warriors, who Is known In every day life as David Will iams, and who is now a good reservation Indian, saw his father killed and his mother shot down by the fire of the Fed eral troops in the final skirmish with the tribe. Next week, or the week following, the Yakimas who return from the hop-fields, will hold a monster potlatch on the state fair grounds, to which the visiting Nez Perces and all other Indians have been Invited. Races between the prize Indian ponies of the different tribes will be held, and dances and "big eats" will fill the nights. There will also be played off the deciding game . in a series of three In the tribal "bone ganre." Two years ago, at Toppenlsh, the game lasted eight hours, and more than J1000 in cash, as well as many blankets and ponies, changed hands as a result. Preparatory to the gathering of the Most of the krge fortunes in the United States have been made from judicious investments in real estate. Just think that over. Look around among the wealthy people you know and see if it is not true. In advising' a young friend as to investing his money, John Jacob Astor said: "Jacob, there will be more people in New York every year, but there will ner be any more, land for them to live onr so you had better buy some of it. . By following that advice the young man became v a multi-millionaire, and by following his own advice Astor laid the foundation of one of the largsst fortunes in the world. We are face to face with the same proposition here today. The growth of population and the development of the Great , Northwest is very genet-ally looked upon as something phenomenal. But, nevertheless, it is only the natural conse quence of increasing population. The East is overcrowded. The western limit has .been reached. There will never be any more land. Consequently the land we have must be more generally occupied and cultivated. .All of the good land in the Northwest (and there are millions of acres of it) will be occupied and cultivated within a very few years. Nearly 3000,000 applications were filed for the 3000 claims on the resen-ations recently opened up by the U. S. General, Land Office. That means that nearly 300 -000 families, 1,500,000 people, are ready to move to the Northwest if they can find such homes as they want. , , This is all strictly in accordance with natural laws. It does not take much ot a prophet to foretell the result. It will not be very long until Ihe three North western states have a population of many millions, and the population of Portland will increase in. the same ratio. Portland will have more people every year, hut there will never be any more land within two miles of the business center, so you had better buy some of it. The Addition with Character Is located within two miles of the business center of Portland It is only i mile and a half from the river. It is bounded on the west by Thirty-first street on the soutk, by East Stark, the Base Line road (now paved), Sandy road runs along the north side and Forty-third street on the east. It has three carlines now and will soon have two more, giving it the best ser vice in the city. It takes only 15 minutes to reach it by streetcar on any line. LATJRELHURST offers the greatest inducements to investors and home-builders to be found in Portland today, because: It is protected by building restrictions. It is a most beautiful residence park. , It will have hard-surface pavement on every street. - It will have all public improvements made at once. It has rich soil and will have beautiful flowers and trees. It has winding streets that preserve the natural beauties of the land. It has no deep, unsightly cuts or high banks to mar its beauty. It has every lot ready to build on without expensive grading, cutting and filling. It has paved streets running to it now. It is high and dry and has a most magnificent view. It contains a splendid public park of 31 acres. It has excellent streetcar service. ' It is within easy walking distance of the down-town district. in fact it has about everything that one could wish for, and it seems just a little better than is necessary. You can buy lots in LATJRELHURST now at prices ranging from $750 to $1500 each. That is just about half as much as similar property will cost you elsewhere. Our terms of payment are easy, and we can assist you financially if you wish to build at once. SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS to those who purchase this month, also to those who will build this year.

The braves are orderly so far. and are spend ing their money freely for clothes and horses, most of them having farms which they work. One peculiarity about the squaws is the large amount of "tqur ist" Indian stuff they are buying-em-broidered gloves, moccasins and bags, made by whites In imitation of Indian workmanship, and designed to be sold to the effete Easterner. .
