Charlton, assistant general passenger agent of the Northern Pa cific has already notified President Howard Elliott, of this road, of the de cision to hold another Festival. Mr. Elliott has been ona of the most con sistent boosters the Festival has aver bad. Va are Immensely pleased to hear that tha management has decided to go ahead with Its plans for holding a show next June, said Mr. Charlton yester day. The Festival Is the greatest at traction which tha railroads have to offer to tha tourist trade of the East and wa are golns to make tha most of it. The question whether wa get a great toartst rush from tha East Is not so Important as to have some tiling out . here to advertise. Tha publicity work la what keeps Portland to the forefront la tha East and we are figuring on spreading ourselves In a way that wa have never done before. "It Is a cold hard faot that tha Rose Festival has taken Its place already with such famous celebrations as the Mard! Gras at New Orleans and ths Veiled Prophet at St. Louis. In spite of tha fact that our celebration Is only In Its swaddling clothe a Portland is giving tha world something; absolutely distinctive, something; absolutely unique. Festival Rewnraea as Magnet. "From tha advertising standpoint the Festival Is In a class by Itself. It will bring tourists, it will bring Investors. It will attract traffic on the part of people wbo are looking; for a desirable place to spend their vacations and when they once get out here a good number of them are gomg to ba so delighted with the climate and the opportunities offered that they are either going to remain here or place Investments In this territory." The Festival management yesterday took up ths work of getting Seattle and Tacoma Interested In the Jotnt pub licity campaign to bring tourists here next Summer. Both Puget Bound cities have attractions to offer In the low-fare season. Seattle has Its Gold en Potlatch. a month following tha Rose Festival, and the big Internation al military tournament and encamp ment at Tacoma comes the week fol lowing. The business men's organizations of thesa cities have been In correspond ence with the Festival management for some time and Inside of another week or so the combined publicity forces of ths three cities will ba set In motion to start the greatest movement of tour 1st and pleasure-seeking trafSo this way that the North Paclflo Coast has aver known. .

(Special.) By a decree entered tn the State Circuit Court here last night. Paclflo Univer sity, of Forest Grove. loses all right to a tract of land In Linn County, de vised to It as a gift 1 years ago. This ends a case which has been contested for more than five years and which went to tha highest court In the state. When Robert McCullpugh. a resident of Linn County, dlsd In lsl he gave his property to his wife, with the pro vision that at her death it should go to the "Congregational Seminary at Forest Orove." When Mra McCullough died in 100 she had not disposed of a farm near Waterloo, which, under Mc- Cullough's will, became the property of the school.

TRAIN TO BE REGAL Northern Pacific's Plans for North Coast Limited Told. TRACK PLANS CONFIRMED Tbronsh Passenger to Have Poll mans, Tourist Sleeper, Day Coach, Dining- and Observation Cars. . Travel Increase Foreseen. With the Inauguration of through service to Chicago over tha Northwest ern tracks from St. Paul, the North ern Pacific's famous North Coast Lim ited will establish Improved facilities for handling passenger traffic to and from the Northwest. A. D. Charlton, as sistant general passenger agent, an nounced yesterday that instead of solid Pullman equipment this train, af ter December 17, will carry. In addi tion to the Pullman cars, a tourist sleeper and a day coach and that it will retain Its dining car service and the popular North Coast observation car. R. V. Holder, general agent in Fort land for the Chicago & Northwestern, yesterday received confirmation of the arrangement announced by Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pa clflc, Tuesday. Old Schedule Intaec. Ths new schedule will not affect the time of the arrival or departure of trains out of Portland. The North Coast Limited will continue to leave the North Bank depot, at Seventh and Hort streets, at 7 P. M. daily, arriving in St. Paul at 7:55 on the third morn lnff. The train will leave St. Paul over tha Northwestern tracks and will op erate to Chicago via the new Weyvllle- MUwaukee cutoff, arriving In Chicago at t P. M. exactly 72 hours after leav ing Portland. Westbound tha train will leave Chicago at 10 P. M. dally, arlvlng at St- Paul at 10:30 A. M. and leaving that city at 11 o'clock, will ar rive In Portland at 7:45 P. M. of the third day. At Pasco, Wash, connec tions will be made with the Northern Pacific's Pusret Sound service. The Introduction of the day coach and tourist sleeper will enable the Northern Paclflo to handle second-class aa well aa flrst-claas passengers and will greatly Increase travel over that line to and from the Northwest. Change Long Pradlng. Arrangements whereby tha Northern Pacific was enabled to run its fast train Into the handsome new 123.000.000 depot recently completed In Chicago by the Northwestern road had been pend ing for six or eight months. J. G, Woodworth. trafno manager of the Northern Pacific, personally conducted the negotiations, but President Elliott himself took an active part In the work. Northern Pacific officials feel highly elated over the arrangement and pre dict that It will srreatlr strengthen the road's position In competition for traffic at both St. Paul and Chicago. The Northwestern already has an agreement with the Union Paclflo for handling traffic between Chicago and Omaha, but it is expected that North western agents In Chicago will remain neutral In the sale of tickets to Port land and Pug-et Sound points. This will give the Northern Paclflo an equal footing- with the Union Paclflo, the Great Northern, the Milwaukee and the Eoo Line in its competition for busi ness In Chicago. Moreover, the North ern Paclflo will have the advantage of offering a choice of terminals In Chi cago to Its patrons in the Northwest. Its Atlantic Express now operates be tween St. Paul and Chicago over tha Burlington route which enters the Chi cago Union Depot. Elliott Denies Merger. Whether the Northern Pacific-North western combination has any signifi cance other than a mere traffic agree ment Is a question that Is puzzling rail road men. Mr. Elliott and Mr. Wood worth have denied that it foretells an alliance between the two roada They explain that the Burlington route. In which the Northern pacino naa a nnan- clal Interest, is unable to handle any additional trains between St. Paul and Chicago, and that an outlet through the Northwestern was the only way out of the difficulty. In addition to. its. own trains the Burlington now handles the Great Northern equipment between St. Paul and Chicago. Only two routes were open to them the Chicago it Northwestern and the Chicago Great Western. All the others either are sf filiated with other lines or have such diverse routings that they are at i disadvantage. It Is rumored that the Nortnwestern-s relationship with, the Northern Paclflo may result In a split with the Union Pacific, but Hartiman officials deny this. If the trafflo agreement between tha TTnlon Pacific and Northwestern Is severed, it is probable that the Harrl- man business at Omaha would oe lurnea over to the Illinois Central.

The matter will be appealed to the Circuit Court at once and a decision Is promised by Judge Harris next week. An appeal will then be taken to the Supreme Court and the officers here will urge prompt action. it is prcbable that a decision from that tri bunal will be handed down by February 1. In the meantime.

JUNKET PLANNED TO CITY nood River Business Men Discuss Publicity System. HOOD RIVER. Or, Dec. 13. (Spe cial) Truman Butler suggested at the monthly meeting of the Commer cial Club last night that the members of the locsl organization visit the city of Portland and the Commercial Club there. It is proposed that members of the local organisation go In a body and pass a day at PSrtland. It is planned that the local band be. taken along and the Portland Club, Secretary C C Chapman aasured the local men, would Join gladly in a parade through the streets, should such be desired. The only out-of-town speaker at the meeting was Mr. Chapman, who advised the club to be careful in the expendi ture of its publicity funds. He recom mended the small booklet sysm with concrete and reliable data. "If your club's officers are yeung men." he said. "I would advise you to place older heads on the financial com mittee. In most cases the older men are those who subscribe the greater part of the money and if for no other reason, they should be on the financial board in order to keep thetr Interest aroused in the community's welfare." On December 20 the local club will Journey to Parkdale by special train over the Mount Hood Railroad to be the guests of the Upper Valley Pro gressive Association.

Placing- of Cot In St. Vincent's Hos pital for Poor Britons Gains Praise of Alexandra. Under date of November 25, James Laldlaw, his Britannic majesty's Consul in Portland, received from Colonel Henry Streatfleld, private secretary to Alexandra, the Queen-mother of Eng land, a letter of personal thanks from her majesty on the endowment of a bed in the Queen's name at St, Vincent's Hospital. Through the various British societies over all the state funds were collected for the endowment of this bed. which will be used to give comfort to poor and destitute British residents. The endowment was completed May 24, 1911, at a cost of $3500, and makes a total of four beds for the same purpose, the others being the British Consular bed, the Queen -Victoria Jubitoe bed and the Queen Victoria diamond Jubilee bed. The Consular Ded was endowed many years ago by funds raised by the British Consul from shipmasters in Portland. It Is administered by him and under his Jurisdiction entirely. Sailors In port requiring medical attention, who are British subjects, are almost always sure of finding a haven in the Consular bed, which is at the Good Samaritan Hos pital. Agitation for the Jubilee bed was be gun at the time of the fiftieth anni versary of Queen Victoria's coronation, and was completed the same year. Ten years later the diamond Jubilee bed. commemorative of her late majesty's sixtieth anniversary as Queen, was en dowed by the British residents of Ore gon. These three beds are in the Good Samaritan Hospital. Shortly before the death of the late King Edward the Brlttah societies sug gested a' bed In honor of Queen Alex andra, and the work was brought to fruition this year. In due course Consul Laldlaw in formed her majesty of the action taken by the British societies, assuring her that the bed would be governed by the boards of trustees of the societies, con sisting of the British Benevolent So ciety, the St. Andrew's Society, the Caledonian Club, the Clan Macleay and othera He received In reply tha following missive: Harlborottgh House.
