Harriman sys tem a mean, of connecting H Ext ern Oreron Un. with the Wlllamett. Valley Railroad. giving a through road from Ontario, on the extreme "trr border of th. atate. to Coo. Bay. on the raclne Coast. Thla will provide not only for diversion of Southern Oreiton trafflc to th. Willamette Valley line, but. after the completion of th. i.u-rene-Cooa Bay Una. now under con structlon. will provld. a direct outlet for the products of Coo. Bay and the Willamette Valley to the East without th. circuitous routing; through I ort- land. , Valley Plaa. Revealed. While thla step does not mean, neces sarily that th. company will start at one. to extend Its Un. from lale through th. Malhuer Canyon to JNa tron. as th. articles provide. It shows that th. Harrltnan Interests Intend to run a road from the eastern border of th. state to th. Willamette alley about half way between th. north and south boundaries as aoon as develop ment of the Interior will permit. A fore, of men now Is at work, un der contractors, extending the Oregon Short Line's road .ast of Vale, and surveying parties are engaged In ob taining additional Information on-tn. territory west of Vale to a point near Iog Mountain. While Doit Mountain is out of a direct Una between Val. and Burns. !t Is believed that Burna will be the western terminus of th. first rail link rushed from th. eastern portion of th. state. Tentative plans provide for further cons traction work from Burns to Bend. Crescent. 65 miles south of Bend. Is th. natural place for a connection b.tw.en th. present O.-W. B. N. terminus at Bend and th. n.w Southern Factno main line now being built between Natron and Klamath Falla. How aoon construction work on the east and west Oreiron lln. will b. started will be determined largely on th rat. that th. Interior of th. state Sevelopa. Lovett Vull Cbeaae Laad. When Judga Robert 8. Lovett. head sf th. Harriman system, was In Port land a few weeka ago. he declared that th. road will not bo built unless th. prlc. of land In Central Oregon Is held at such a figure that It will attract settlers. He said that the atate must hav. people before It will war rantheavy expenditures In th. build ing of railroads, and added that pro hibitive prices will not attract settlers. Th. completion of th. lln. up th. Des chutes Valley has opened the way for a steady Influx of settlers and It Is apparent that the Harriman Interests expect soon to see th. interior settle fast enousa to Justify further con struction work In that section. The provision of the amended arti cles filed with th. Secretary of State yesterday Include construction of branch lines to Lakevlew and to Goose Lake on th. stat. Una. Thla plan will nable the Southern Pacific to com plete Its projected development work between Natron and Klamath Falls, which will result In greatly Improved senrtc. between Portland and San Francisco and will provide. In addi tion, means of building Into Lakevlew and Harney Lake, which now are be ing given the first railroad connec tion through the Nevada. California and Oregon, a narrow-gaug. line, con necting with the Southern Paclflo main line at Reno. Nev. Rival Hay Bo Forestalled. It ia probable that th. Harriman Interests realls. that th. trad, in that section will pass over the narrow gauge line into Reno and that It may be diverted to the Western Pacific, a vigorous rival, unlesa they afford soma means by which th. traffic can be handled over their own lines. Con struction of the Lakevlew branch will bring th. Southern Oregon country Into closer touch with th. remainder of the stata and will prevent trad, in that section from going to California Instead of to Portland, which, is Its natural outlet. In spite of pesslstent denials it is believed that th. Southern Pacific con templates early construction work In th. southern part of th. state. PROPOSED LIXES SET FORTH Xatr on -Ontario and La kcriew-Ca 11 -fornla Branches Provided. SALEM. Or, Deo. 12. (Special.) Another move In th. railroad fight for supremacy in Oregon la indicated in th. filing of supplementary articles of tho Oregon Eastern Railway with the Secretary of State her. today, which include a lln. from Natron, in Lane County, to Ontario, in Malh.ur County, and also articles increasing the capital stock of the road from $100,000 to $6,000,000. W. W. Cotton, of Portland, forwarded th. articles. Tha supplementary articles set forth that a line will be conetructed from Natron to Ontario. They also call for a branch from a suitable point on th. lln. extending to a point at or near Klamath Falla and thenoe to a connec tion with tho Central Paclflo Railway at Weed. Another branch from th. Ontario Natron Una la also contemplated to Lakevlew and an extension from Lake view sou th to th. line of th. Stat, of California near th. easterly shore of Goos. Lake, which la taken to be a plan for a connection with th. road to Reno which now la in operation to Lakevlew. Land Valuation Is Sought.

JUDGEGENSURES POLICE GATENS FREES TEX NORTH EVD VTOSfEX CAUGHT EV RAID. iOLD FOLKS BLAMED! Judge Gatens Says Parents Prone to Be Easy With" Boys. DOWNFALL FOLLOWS LATER Peace Guards Scored for Honndlnc Fallen and Xot Protecting- Inno cent Girls Corfey Concurs. Th. police department of Portland Is practically worthless as an agency for moral reform In th. opinion of Presid ing Judga Gatens. From th. bench yesterday morning he accused th. po licemen of hounding women of th. North End and charged that they fail to arrest men who lead unsophisticated girls astray and put them on tha high way toward ruin or do anything to close th. pitfalls which yawn for tha reception of Ignorant and thoughtless young women. The tirade waa called forth by the appearance of ten women of the North Knd, who were captured In Captain Bailey's raid of August IS. and who had been convicted and fined in the Municipal Court. They had appealed. Judge Catena accepted pleas of guilty and then assessed a fine of 110 In each case. Immediately remitting the fines. Captain Bailey and mora than half a doaen of the uniformed men then listened as th. Judge scored the department. "Tho North End was In existence when I waa om her. In Portland 44 years ago." said Judge Gatens. "and It will continue with us. Experience ought t have taught that fact by this time. Yet the police seem to think they are doing something toward th. moral betterment of th. city by ar resting th. unfortunate women who In habit that end of the city and are en raged in Immoral pursuits hounding; them expresses it better. It doesn't do a bit of good to harass these women. but I would direct the attention of th. police to a way of doing efficient work. -Why do not the police do something to tha men who hang around the chop suey and noodl. joints and pick up glrla with only one purpose in view, that of leading them astray? What about th. men who Infest the corner cltrar stores waiting and watching for girls with whom to become acquainted for the purposes of debaucheryT It seems to mo that her. is where really efficient work could be done, at th. point where th. girls verger from the light to tha wrong path. Could the evil be checked her. wa would not hav. In later years so many women of the North End type whom It Is impossible to reform. But Instead of this the policemen seem to content themselves with harassing and annoying women al ready beyond th. pal. of redemption. Th. social evil haa existed almost since th. commencement of time and such tactics will not stamp It out. The only way to accomplish anything Is to ex pend effort In preventing th. debauch ing of young girls. You officers know tho men who de coy girls Into wrongdoing and you know the girls who need attention. Why do you not arrest and drive such men from tho city and do something toward keeping th. girls where they belong at night, in their homesr" T do not think It would bo proper for m. to make any comment on tbe statement of Judge Gatens.- said Mayor Kusnlignt. I have always been de sirous of bringing about a cleanup of conditions In the North End but l have not bad much success. My desire has been to rid the district of macquereaux. I hav. used th. police department, but apparently have not got results. But I am not through yet." "I fully Indorse the position Judge Gatens has taken, said John B. Coffey. chairman of the police committee of the Executive Board. "It is tha young girls of this city wa would protect. That la tbe reason I went before the Council committee recently and urged mat me law keeping girls from visit ing grills be amended) to Include those tl years old. It Is from the ranks of young girls that disreputable houses are supplied. -There Is absolutely no use trying to rid the cltSr of women of the under world unless we at the same time give young girls the protection from de signing procurers, that Is Imperative. As a matter of fact, between tha macquereaux and grafting policemen. ine women or me underworld are to be pitied rather than censured and prosecuted. If the police authorities will drive macquereaux out of the city the problem of dealing with the social li will be largely solved from tha fact that these women will follow their male consorts. "I do believe that the sale of llauor in houses of prostitution should be proruoited. and the law against that practice should b. enforced rigidly. There Is no reason why these women should be permitted to sell liquor. They pay no license to the city for the privilege and recognize no houra In tha day when they do not make Illegal sues, un me otner nana, saloon men pay an annual license, observe the law and close their places, of business promptly at 1 o'clock." Grants Pass Starts Big Campaign. GRANTS PASS. Or.. Dec 13. (Spe cial.) The real estate men of this city are busy listing all property that they can find for sale and are making a spe cial list of all the best residences that sir. for sale, with full information aa to size, arrangement of Interior, etc- in contemplation of sending out booklets to Eastern cities, that they may reap results in time for the Spring colonist ratea While there have been quite a number of salea In realty during the past few months, there haa been a slight lull in th. business In comparison to the lively exchanges and purchases made during th. early Fall. Juvenile Court Jurist Declares la Discussing Garrard Case That Girls, Too, Are to Be Blamed at Times. Lack of the proper parental Influ ence during tha character-forming pe riods of life and a resulting general disposition on the part of boya to ridi cule thos. of their companions who seek to be good and conscientious ace, In th. opinion of Juvenile Judge Ga tens, among tha Influences which com bine to produce men who ruin girls. In discussing the Garrard case yes terday. Judge Gatens said: "Boya who try to bo good and con scientious are usually laughed at by their companions and shamed Into do ing the wrong thing. Parents are in a great measure responsible for this, aa the majority of them raise their boy. to feel privileged to ruin as many girls as they please, so that they are careful to avoid dlsesse and disgrace. If the wrongdoing of the boys was looked upon in the aame light publicly aa are the Indiscreet actions of the girls the early training of th. boys might not be so lax. "If these boys are to b. upheld and encouraged by their parents and com panions In wrongdoing toward girls, what Is to become of the good, virtuous girl who haa been carefully guarded and brought Into pure and unstained womanhood? In all probability she will become the wife of one of the many wrre haa sown hla wild oata and who will force upon her and her children the reaping of the harvest In the form of dlseaae or of Immorality In other forms. "Men who have led th. vilest lives often seek ths purest and most vir tuous wives and because of such a woman's purity and Innocence she is more apt to fall a victim. "How easy It Is to tell a mother's girl from th. girl who has strayed from mother's Influence or who lacks it, Tho style of her dress alone Is enough. The girl who Is living tho life of a good girl and who respects her mother's opinions will show it by her simple and modest clothes. On the other hand. th. girl on tho wrong path Is conspicuous In clothing gaudy and loud In which she hopes to make her self attractive. "One cannot be too strong In con demnation of the man who lures a young girl on to her ruin with extrava gant suppers, automobile rides, expen sive clothing and all the accessories which form part of the game, but at the same time we must not. In some instances at least, judge too harshly and lay all the responsibility for the wreck on tha man. especially if he be a young man. Sometimes. I regret to say. it is true that the glrla go half way In striking up acquaintances and afterward In suggesting Indiscretions. Such a girl surely exhibits a dearth of proper parental teaching." CHRISTMAS HERE SOON nOLXiV, SnSTLETOE, WEATHER, SOUND DATS APPROACH. Stores Are Crowded and Fotof rtce Is Thronged Continuously Santa lias but 1 2 Days More. With more than hint of good -old-fashioned" weather aa a sign that Christmas Is In the offing, tha appear ance of countless bundles of red-berried holly and white-splashed mistle toe, not to speak of the stacks of Christmas numbers of all the maga zines which load down the bookstore counters, has convinced Portland resi dents that Christmas, 1913, Is upon them. The season of peace and good win to all men has brought with It crowded stores. Jammed to suffocation. Mali-carriers stagger under capacity loads, while the postofflce is thronged with those desirous of mailing tokens of th. season to thalr friends the world over. At the same time little Willie strug gles valiantly to hide under a corner of the sofa cushion a great metal stovecover lifter he has purchased for mother with his hard-saved pennies. Mother has no little difficulty in ob taining a suitable hiding place for the great box of railroad cars which must appear In one of the capacious gar ments of Willie Christmas morn, to sustain the Christmas myth. Mothers have found that with th. passing of the days the little Willies have grown wiser and now hang up trousers with the legs tied as an Indication to Chris topher K. Krlngle, Esq., of their de sires and demands. That all polnta more clearly than anything else to the fact that Tuletlde la Just IS days distant. Less than two weeks remain before Santa Claus will hav. come and gone, his trail of new toys and Christmas remembrances In bis wake. At all the homes worried matrons are pondering over what shall be sup plied as a delectation for the Christmas dinner and the charitable institutions are pressing every possible advantage to obtain funda for their treats to the needy poor. Postmaster Merrick has got Into the spirit of the season. In the main post office corridor now reposes a long table where parcels may be tied. Two pots of Government mucilage await the dis posal of those who fear the state of the coverings on their mall. The table Is In use continually. To Insure delivery of mall in the United States. Canada and Mexico on or before Christmas day, mall must be dispatched within the next two days. In the smaller offices of the country, said Postmaster Merrick yesterday, tbe congestion is so great at Christmas time that mail is not all delivered for many days. While th. Lusltanla or Mauretanla will again make a record-breaking race with the British mall this year to New York, the Cunard line is not putting on an extra vessel the last available connection leaving New York next Saturday morning. To make con nections, Portland mail had to be dis patched last night. Stores are thronged all day and It now behooves him who has Christmas business of any kind to bo "up. and doing."

In our opinion, most people suffering from general de bility have catarrh. Such cases of de bility cannot be completely cured by medicine not designed to eradicate ca tarrh. In every case where our remedy falls to give entire satisfaction we will not charge a cent for the medicine em ployed during the trial. Now, surely no one should hesitate to believe us or to put our claim to a practical test under such conditions. We will take all the risk; no one else can lose any thing by the transaction. We make these statements and this offer because we know and have time and again proved that Reiall Mucu Tone rarely falls to do aa we claim. It Is not a cureall prescribed to cure every disease that flesh is heir to. It is intended for one purpose. 1. tu, to cure catarrh by assailing tbe diseased condition In a reasonable, scientific way, which Is to employ agents that have been found to have the tonio and alterative power to correct faulty metabolism (tissue change) and to stimulate and help nature overcome the cause or causes of catarrh. This being done, appetite Increases, nutrition Im proves, weight Is gained, comfort of body Is attained and life's work taken up with the zest natural to the per fect healthy Individual. We want you to try Kexall Mucu-Tone. Follow directions and take it regularly and consistently or a reasonable length of time.
