CHANGES IN SIX MONTHS Low Rates to A.-Y.-P. Force Big Ad dition Judge Lowell, Compelled to Wait at Condon, Tells Com mission Figures Follow. That the passenger train service on the O. R. & N. has Increased 150 per cent in the last six months is one of the points made by J. P. O'Brien, vice-president and general manager of the rail road, in replying to the complaint made by Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendle ton, to the Railroad Commission con cerning the service. Judge Lowell's complaint was based on the fact that No. 11, the local train, was late between one and two hours at Condon, September 13. and that while waiting for the local the limited train stopped at Condon, but the people at the station were denied admission. "The order confining the Chicago Portland special to through traffic In Oregon waa made necessary several weeks ago because of the heavy travel caused by the low rates to the Seattle Exposition." said Mr. O'Brien yester day. "This la an electric-lighted train, and aa such la limited in number of cars. It carries but two coaches, and - be cause of so many persons bound for The Dalles. Pendleton and other way points patronizing that train, through passengers found the coaches crowded and It became Impossible for us to maintain the fast schedule. "Furthermore, we found that while the coaches of the limited train were crowded in Oregon we frequently were carrying empty cars beyond Pendleton and - Huntington because tbe through passengers had- been unable to secure accommodations. The local train is put on to senre local business. When a schedule Is made up for a normal train of seven cars on' a basis of 28 miles an hour and five-minute stops, and the heavy traffic makes it necessary to Increase ' the cars to 10 or 11 In number, and then the fruit-shipping season comes on top of that, you will see how difficult it Is to maintain the schedule. "If we do not put on extra express cars and atop at the fruit stations a sufficient length of time for loading, naturally there Is a- complaint from that quarrer. The local train on the day of which Judge Lowell complained was. delayed by the loading of fruit shipments. "The passenger traffic on the railroad has been Increased far beyond normal by the low rates granted on acoount of the Alaska-Tukon-Paclflc Exposition, followed by the Inauguration of colo r, lilts' rates. We are hauling passen gers at 1 cent a mile, which does not more than pay operating expenses. Tne railroads are making nothing out of the Increased traffic, and the necessity for putting on more trains Is Interfer ing seriously with our freight service. "Our road had to make a fight to se cure the colonist rates, and they were offered, not for the purpose of making money out of the persons who take ad vantage of them, but to aid in the up building of the state at large. By No vember 1 the low rates will end, and it is probable that we shall then be able to care for local traffic on the limited train. It seems to me that under all the circumstances the patrons of the road should bear with the situation un til that time. "Our passenger train service has been Increased 150 per cent In the last six months. Six months ago we were oper ating two trains between Portland and Huntington. Now we are operating five each way dally. Instead of two trains daily east of Pendleton there are now six." STRIKE RCMOR DISCOUNTED Harrlman . Officials Do Xot Even Know Machinists' Demands. Rumors contained in dispatches from La Grande of an impending strike of machinists on the O. R. & N. and Short I-ine are discounted id the general of fices of the O. R. & N. In Portland. Vice-President O'Brr&n said yesterday that there had been no formal demand for en increase in pay or for shorter hours made by ,the machinists. The business agent of the union recently asked J. F. Graham, superintendent of motive power, to fix a iday for a con ference on several subjects. Including wages and hours of employment, and Mr. Graham replied that he would meet the agent at the latter's convenience. This meeting has not taken place. The agent is now in Salt Lake engaged In a conference there and It is not known when he will be here. Inasmuch as the exact desires of the machinists have not been presented, and it Is not known whether the de mands will be granted or denied, talk of a strike is considered premature. The rumors appear to have emanated wholly from La Grande, where only a small force of machinists is employed. SHOW TRAIN TO GO NO DELAY, SAYS MAYOR PROMPT ACTTOX PROMISED ON BROADWAY BRIDGE. Delegation Visits City Hall to Urge That Proposed Span Be Rushed to Completion. A delegation headed by M. O. Munly and consisting of a large number of prominent East Side citizens called on Mayor Joseph Simon yesterday after noon at his office in the City Hall rela tive to the Broadway bridge. The dele gation requested that the matter of building the bridge be expedited and the work rushed through aa rapidly as possible. Mayor Simon waa able to assure the members of the committee that this would be done, and showed them what had already been done In a preliminary way. such as securing the approaches. Just a few days ago condemnation pro ceedings weer ordered started by Mayor Simon against Albers Bros, property at the west end of the location. Just when actual construction work would be In progress the Mayor was unable to tell the members of the delegation. No action was taken nor were any promises made other than that -the work would be done as rapidly as pos sible. The matter of getting out the plana and designs for the bridge was also taken up, and several members of the committee were anxious that Ralph Modjeskl. the renowned engineer who has already drawn a bridge plan, be chosen, while others favored the choice of the engineers for the Madison-street bridge, now under construction. The matter of engineering was taken up In detail, but no definite conclusions were reached. Harris Trunk Co. for trunks and bare. Demonstration Coaches to Visit Three Counties. EXHIBIT TRIP PLANNED Sherman, Gilliam and Morrow Ob jective Points of O. R. & X. Spe cial Suhjects of Lectures An nounced Stops Arranged. ... The seventh, demonstration train to be sent out by the Oregon Railway & Navi gation Company, in two years will take the field in the latter part of October and visit Sherman, Gilliam and Morrow Counties. ' . This train. It Is probable, will not be equipped with soil and crop exhibits, at least so fully as past trains sent into the farming communities by the railroad company, as it is believed as much good can be accomplished on the tour planned by Instructive lectures. The object of sending out the train Is to aid the farmers of the counties to be visited in scientific tilling of the soil and in Improving their condition with re spect to crops and agricultural pursuits. The demonstration trains of the O.' R. A N. Company have had a popular re ception wherever they have been sent in the past. At some stations as many as 7600 persons gathered to Inspect the trains and listen to the lectures. Farmers have come 25 and 30 miles, and It la known that great good has been accom plished. "The cropa In the Columbia River coun ties." said R.- B. Miller, general freight agent of the railroad, yesterday, "have been below normal. Thla has been due to several circumstances, but it Is hoped that with an Improved and different method of cultivation -a material change for the better will be brought about. "The train will -carry members of the faculty of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege and Experiment Station. Lectures will be delivered under the direction of Dr. Jamea Withycombe, director of the Experiment Station, on Boil Tillage,' 'Conservation of Moisture,' 'More and Better Livestock.' "Horticulture, 'Dairy ing.' and 'Poultry Raising.' "Stops of three hours will be made, affording sufficient opportunity for a full discussion and exchange of Ideas on all subject of Interest to the farmer. The exact hours the lectures will be given and the full Itinerary will be made known in a few days. The train is to be operated for the benefit of the farmers In Sher man, Gilliam and Morrow Counties and it will be in the field October 26, 27, 28 and 29." The demonstration trains of the O. R. & N... are run special and In the past some of them have consisted of aa many as seven cars. It is probable that on this occasion a representative of - the Union Stockyards will accompany the train and addre.s the farmers on stockralsing. In forming them of the advantages given for obtaining better prices by the estab lishment of the new stockyards m Port land. Hograistng will be urged partlcu; larly as a profitable field of endeavor. Case Over Feea Postjioned. Because Edward Mendenhall made affidavit that his domestic' difficulties, culminating In his wife's divorce suit, have rendered him so extremely nerv ous that he has been unable to take carepf his law practice. Circuit Judge Bronaugh continued the suit of D. N. McDonald against Franck C. Bolin from September 23 to November 2 yes terday afternoon. Mendenhall said that Piatt & Piatt, who have been retained as counsel for Bolin In his place, have had Insufficient time to acquaint them selves with their client's case. Mc Donald's suit Is for J3200. He alleges that Bolin agreed to pay him $5 an acre for locating C. H. Maginnis and John Pearson on 640 acres of Govern ment land, alleged to be worth 24,000. COMMITTEE SURPRISES COX Police Chief Denies AVarnlng the Valley Cafe. "I have been under the Impression all the time that I was working hand in hand with the various committees of the city administration in relation to matters under my . Jurisdiction. It Is :ny purpose to do so, and if the word of G. D. Miller, of the Valley Cafe, who was up efore the license committee .for violating its regulations, was taken before 1 was given a hearing and Judg ment pronounced against me, I have been wronged. I believe it was unin tentional." This statement was made by Chief of Police Cox last night in reply to a statement that he was censured . by members of the license committee for his manner of handling the restaurant liquor-selling problem. It was said that Chief Cox and SerKeant Riley had ordered the Valley Cafe to place cur tains over its windows if It intended to continue selling liquor In violation of the regulations, without meals. Chief Cox denies he ever gave any authority for any such orders. "I am confident," said Chief Cox, "that the reported censure of me was exaggerated. I would have been only too glad to have been present at the meeting of the committee, but was out of my office on other business at the time. I have only the highest regard for every member of the committee and know it wants to do the fair thing by me." BOXCARS GO FIRST Freight Trains to Quit Fourth Street by End of Year. O'BRIEN TELLS HIS PLANS WOOER WANTS RING BACK But Girl Declares Band Is Hers, as She's Xot Engaged. ' Theodore Wachsmuth, a streetcar em ploye, and Miss Hattle Stapleton, who lives with her mother at 11 Eat Thirtieth street North, are the principals In a suit filed in the Justice Court for the posses sion of a diamond ring. The r(ng was given to Miss Stapleton several months ago as a token of love by Wachsmuth. This regard has since paled Into disdain, it is said, and now the once ardent wooer of the young woman, having failed to get back the present by verbal request, has resorted to the law to recover It. According to the story of the affair told by the young woman, the ring waa not an engagement ring, but merely a present which carried no obligations with it. In her version of how she came Into posses sion of the ring, valued at $150, it seems that before Wachsmuth became a steady caller at the Stapleton household another young man had been constantly received there. This young man had also given J Miss Stapleton a ring. One day ..they quarreled and the young woman took the golden band off her finger and cast it into the face of the first admirer. ' News of this having reached Wach smuth, says Miss Stapleton, he rushed to her with the consoling assurance that he would supply a ring In place of the one so unpleasantly lost. Sno considers that she really and truly owns the ring and ought not to return it. She has been given seven days In which to file an answer to the suit. Southern Pacific Will Vacate Thor oughfare When Oswego Bridge Is Finished Electric Line May Replace the Steam Road. "The freight trains will be removed from Fourth street by the first of the year if we do not . experience undue high water before that time," stated Manager O'Brien, of the Southern -Pa-oiflc lines, yesterday. "Chief Engineer Boschke has the work of constructing the bridge at Oswego for the Beaver-ton-Wlllsburg line well under way now. We will do something with the Fourth street line as soon as we can get the piers in shape and swing the bridge at Oswego. , "This, of course, depends much on weather conditions. The bridge has to be put in on false work and we can take no chances of high water coming along and sweeping it into the river. But if the conditions are good and we do not have unexpected high water, we will be able in all probability to have the work completed by the first of the year." . . ' ' ' ' There are two points of view as to the operation of the Southern . Pacific trains over Fourth street. One is that the road is allowed to operate on suf frage, as on May 13, 1907, an ordinance was passed prohibiting steam locomo tives or freight cars from being -operated on Fourth street at any date later than 18 months after the passage of the ordinance. This time limit expired No vember 13,' 1907, but the Southern Pa cific continued to operate trains over the line. At - one time an amendment passed the Council extending, the time limit to ppcemher 30. 190B. but thjs amendment was vetoed and the Mayor's veto was sustained. Soon after Man ager O'Brien -was arrested and his case is still pending. - Manager O'Brien Insists that his line Is not operating on suffrage. "We recognize no part of that, ordinance," stated Mr. O'Brien. "We have a state franchise, dated long before that ordi nance restraining us from putting trains over the Fourth-street line. . "However, we are going ahead with our Willsburg-Beaverton line, and when it is in shape we will do some thing on Fourth street. First, we will probably take off the freight trains and operate the passenger trains either with motors or steam engines, despite the ordinance, or we may decide to elec trify the entire line and put In overhead lines. Just what we will do remains to be decided." Suit Brought by Japanese. . Supplemental proceedings in the stilt of Y. Arisue and M. Imura against Mary E. Clay, in which the latter is charged with contempt of court, have been filed in the Circuit Court. She is to appear before Judpe Gatens today to show cause whv she should not be punished. An in junction restraining her from removing a frame annex to a Japanese store at 29 North Third street was Issued Septem ber 11. Arisue alleges that Mrs. Clay has again interfered with his work.
