16 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1910. DOUBLE-TRAGKING OF LINE IS BEGUN Improvement Ordered From Dalles to Deschutes, 17-Mile Run. 0. R. & STARTS CHANGE Work Is First Step In Plan to I,ay Additional Ralls From Portland to Huntington Road to Be Straightened. What Is understood to be the first step In the double tracking of the O. It. & N. line between Portland and HuntinKton was taken yesterday, when authority was riven for double tracking the road between The Dalles and Deschutes, a distance of 17 miles. Recently the O. R. & X. let the con tract for straiKhteninsr the line between the two points, and it is presumed that the decision bavins been reached to double track to Huntington, both the line change and the additional traok layinar could bo accomplished at a saving of expense over construction of the two Improvements separately. The line change and double tracking will cost con siderable more than $1 .000.RK. A part of the double-track system also will be the St.' John-Troutdale line, authority for the cbnstruction of- which has also been Riven. Work on this line will begin so soon as weather conditions will permit. When completed. prac tically 20 more miles of the route will have been doublo traeked at a cost of $700,000. The new Troutdale line is np.t to be double tracked in itself, but will offer a second track entranoe to Port land. The distance between Portland and TTmatilla Is 400 miles and while estimates of the cost are not obtainable. It is prob able that a sum represented by eight figures will be expended before the work Is completed. T'matllla Busy Point. The greatest congestion of traffic on the O. R. N. lines is fcetween Port land and l:matllln. At the latter point the lines of the Washington division di verge and the wheat of the Palouse country. Camas Prairie and all the Spo kane and Idaho traffic reach the main line. In addition, from this stretch of the system, the Condon. Heppner and Shaniko branches diverge, all serving big wheat-producing areas, while the new Deschutes line will also deliver its traffic to the main line between Port land and TTmatilla. Five passenger trains dally pass over the line each way In addition to one fast mail train each way daily and the regular and special freights. It is un derstood that the stretch of road carry ing practically the limit of traffic in the operation of trains on schedule time, while there exists a certainty of Increase as the country continues its progress in development. Mail Contracts Incentive. It Is also hinted that mall contracts are at stake in a contest now waging between the (ireat Northern and the Harriman Northwest system. The Oreat Northern is said to be asking the Government for the Portland mail, intending to divert it from its fast mail train now in operation at Spo kane and via the North Bank to Port land. The Great Northern, according to reports, has declared that the Puget Sound mail tonnage alone is not suffi cient to warrant the continuation of the fast mall train. The Harriman line is also operating a fast mail train, but it is recognized that improvements are necessary to keep pace with the strenuous competition that 11111 is now giving on maii-carrying and other service. The double-tracking of the O. R. & '.. It is also understood, will be car ried on in' conjunction with other line changes, which will eliminate many vurves and grades and shorten the line. JI.

"X have enjoyed it immensely since . my return from a trip of official work, involving four months, and taking me all over the country. I returned from the East just before Christmas. While this chilly weather seems to make the Oregonians grumble a bit, I regard it as very mild, and call it fine." Bishop Smith traveled many thous ands of miles on his trip of four months throughout the East and South, dur ing which he attended the sessions of the general committees, distributing millions of dollars to the various great enterprises of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He will leave Portland again for Arkansas in about a week, and will hold a Winter conference there.

STRAUS BEGINS SENTENCE Prisoner Enters Jail Maintaining lie I Is Innocent Man. Charles A. Straus has begun his long term of confinement in the County Jail. Straus appeared at the office of the Vnited States Marshal Tuesday, and said that he was ready to toe locked uj. After bidding -the deputies- around the office- farewell, he was taken in charge by Deputy Becker, and at 3:2S o'clock, the outer door of the County Jail closed on the well-known figure of the former cashier of the Portland Post off ice. He will not be released for 13 months. Straus wont to his fate maintaining that he was an innocent man. At the office of the United States Marshal the last remark by Straus was: "I'll bet I haven't suffered as much as the man who' got the money.' Since the shortage of $4090.78 was dis covered in the accounts of the cashier of the Portland Postoffice in June, 1908, Straus lias vehemently asserted innocence of the crime. Straus was given a vacation from the duties of the cashier's office because of failing eyesight and went at once .to his home in this city. A few weeks later the discrepancy in the accounts was dis covered and Straus was asked to return to the office and explain or account for it. He promised to do so. The promise was never kept, and at the trial Straus contented himself with a mere denial of the allegations against him. He was found guilty of failing to deposit funds of the United States Government and was sentenced to imprisonment for IS months and to pay a fineequal to the amount of the shortage. After his sent ence was pronounced Straus gave notice of an appeal to a higher court of the Federal Government, but was unable to effect the appeal. Straus will not be given any speciafl privileges while in the custody of the jai.l East Side Well Yields Household Soap At Depth of 280 Feet Borers Strike Xovel SubNtancc Which Clennses Grimy Hand. WHAT seems to be eoap. the sub stance having the qualities of the commercial article, is being pumped from a well on East Washington street, be tween East First and East Water streets. The unique well is the property of the National Cold Storage & Ice Company. At a depth of iSO feet the peculiar soapy composition was struck. While the chief engineer of the plant, Raymond Smith, was handling it to determine what it could he, ho noticed that it took away the oil and coal that besmeared his hands. Other men about the storage plant tested it in the same way, and found that it had wonderful cleansing 'properties. Henry Green, who bored the well, carried away a large amotint of it for household use. The substance collects in the boilers of the plant, requiring them to be cleaned about every nine days. The management of the plant plans to have the composi tion analyzed to determine if it has any commercial value. Saved at Death's Door. The door of death seemed ready to open for Murray W. Ayres,- of Transit Bridge, N. Y., when his life was wonder fully saved. "I was in a dreadful con dition," he writes, "my skin was al most yellow; eyes sunken; tongue coated; emaciated from losing 40 pounds; growing weaker dally. Viru lent liver trouble pulling me down to death in spite of doctors. Then that matchless medicine Electric Bitters cured me. I regained the 40 pounds lost and now am well and strong."

ICE FORMING FUST Shipping Interests Begin Suffer From Cold Wave. to VANCOUVER FERRY STOPS Steamships From Astoria Compelled to Break Through Solid Ice From Warrior rtix'k Snow Would Surely Close the River. Ice is interfering with navigation on the Columbia River and unless the cold wave toreaks within 4S hours seagoing vessels will probably toe prevented from coming to or departing from Portland. . The steamship Alliance succeeded in breaking her way through last night but not without considerable difficulty. The Sue H. Elmore from Tillamook had a hand fight to get up. The oil tank steam ship Catania broke her way through solid ice from Warrior Rock and. was fol lowed closely by the Hornet. At Vancouver the ferry boat went out of commission Tuesday night. Yesterday afternoon the steamer Jessie TTarkin was1 sent around for the purpose of transport ing passengers between Vancouver and the Oregon shore. She left Portland at 11 o'clock and reached Vancouver shortly after 1 P. M- During the afternoon she made regular trips. It is thought that she will be able to operate during the greater part of today. Should snow follow the present cold snap the Oolumfhla would close tight and conditions similar to those existing in January, 1907. would result. At that time the steamships Columbia. Xicomedia, Roanoke, Alliance and Oeo. W. Elder were held up. The Columbia and Nicomedla were prisoners in the ice be tween the mouth of the "Willamette and Warrior Rock. The locks at the Cascades have been closed for several days and ice Is heavy. Afoove he mouth - of the Willamette all navigation has been suspended.

IMsm&ntled. ancient and dilapidated hulks which for years have been moored at the public levee at the foot of Jefferson street, are being removed by Harbormaster Speier. The old Cap ital City of the Regulator line was shifted yesterday to a berth at the North Bank dock, and the old Tahoma, G. M. Walker and Astorian will be moved today or tomorrow. For years the public levee has been utilized as a boneyard for wornout river craft, the only purpose of the owners being to get them out of the way with the least expense. Pilots filed a remonstrance, alleging that the west draw of the Madison-street bridge was blocked against navigation by the hulks. DISCHARGE OF COAL DELAYS Row Between Stevedoring Firm Blocks Work at Wharf. ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 5. (Special.) Preparations are being made by the MeCabe Company to discharge about 1200 tons of coal from the French bark Belen at the Elmore wharf, but the controversy between the stevedor ing firms regarding the work is not ended. The master of the vessel awarded the contract to the McCabe Company, but the charterers, the Pacific Coast Company, want Brown & McCabe to do the work. Accordingly they have leased the electric hoist on the dock and have forbidden the McCabe Com pany to use it. The latter is rigging up its own gear to do the work. LIGHTHOUSE BOAT ON CRUISE Inspector Elliott Starts to Inspect Stations Along Oregon Coact. ASTORIA, Or.. Jan. 6. (Special.)

Trial Pifkigc of Stmai-t'a Charcoal lnirnKni Sent Fr. Flatulence is ie to the presence of gas in the stomach and Intestines, which often rolls about, producing borborygml, or rumbling noises in the Intestinal system, and causes the vic tim of this trouble considerable em barrassment. when such noises occur while in company. An analysis of gas from the stomach shows that it consists to a great ex tent of nitrogen and carbonic acid. It Is therefore probable that some of tha gas in the stomach consists simply of air which has been swallowed, al though for the most part, the source of flatulence is the gas given off from the food in the abnormal processes of de composition. In cases of chronic gastric catarrh. the secretion of gastric juice In the stomach is deficient, the food Is di gested slowly, and fermentation oc curs with the evolution of gas. Swallowed air, however, plays a mora I important part in causing flatulence, or v gas In the stomach and Intestines than is generally supposed, and while food may v be swallowed 'without carrying air into the stomach with it, fluids, es pecially those of a tenacious charac ter, such as pea-soup, appear to carry down a great deal. Flatulent distension of the Intestines occurs when a large amount of gas or air, either swallowed or evolved from the decomposition of food, escapes from the stomach into the intestines through the pylorus. The enormous distension of the Intestines and dilation of tha stomach with gases; and the rapidity wth which stieh flatulence occurs, has long been a puzzle to medical men, and has led some to think that the only possible explanation thereof, is a rapid evolution of gas 'from the blood. In the treatment of gas in the stom ach and intestines, charcoal is consid ered by most physicians as the leading and most effective remedy. Carmina tives, or medicines. snCn as pepper mint, cardamom, sodium bicarb, etc. which expel the gas from the stomach I in large volumes through the mouth, are resorted to by some people, but their use is disagreeable, and the fre quent expulsion of gas through tha mouth, most annoying, and after tak ing a remedy of this kind, one Is com pelled to remain out of company the rest of the day, on account of the con tinued belching of air. STUART'S CHARCOAL, LOZENGES do away with the necessity of under going the disagreeable experience of belching: or expelling stomach gases through the mouth, by completely ab sorbing every particle of gr or swal lowed air in the stomach, and also in the intestinal system, which prevents colic, and over-distension with accumu lated air. These wonderful lozenges should b used for all cases of flatulence and de composition of food in the stomach, as well as for bad breath resulting from catarrh, decayed teeth, or stomach trouble.
