Antonelle, a railroad contractor of El Paso, Tex., has been given the con tract for this work, and has been in structed to proceed directly to Valdez to begin work on the all-Amerlcan line to the Tukon River.

K. & N. money "would go Into the proposed road. Both Mr. Mohler and Mr. Wilcox have a mass of figures showing that Central Oregon Is a rich country, but neither of them was able last week to verify these statements from his own knowledge. That is what Mr. Harrlman demanded of them, lor he Insisted he would not accept any statement which he did not know posi tively was correct The Tesult of the conference neld at Ban Francisco last week was an Instruc tion to President Mohler to make a per sonal Investigation of the Central uregon accompaniments. Concerts will be given June 5 and 6, and the concluding numbers each evening will be "Edwin Schultz's "Waldharfen," and Grieg's "Landerken nung."

It Is conceded the North r7 t rnmnete with Southern Cal ifornia for the "Winter tourist traffic, but IS AMENDMENT IN EFFECT? MR. DUNIWAY UPHOLDS VALD3ITY OF REFERENDUM. A. D. Charlton Retarns. Assistant General Passenger Agent A, D. Charlton, of the Northern, Pacific, re turned last night from a week's trip to the cities In his territory. He accompa nied General Passenger Agent Charles S. Fee as far as Spokane upon that official's Eastern trip. Then Mr. Charlton visited in turn the various points In the North west. It was- the Intention of Mr. Fee when he left Portland to stop for a short time at Yellowstone Park. The Northern Pacific Intends to prepare for a big season's busi ness at the park, and Mr. Fee proposed to stay there long enough to satisfy himself that the railroad and hotels would be able to take care of all the traffic.

In the event this report is sat- "' "1" isfactory, Mr. Harrlman will stand by his pledge to build the line, nut, 11 a poor showing is made, the promise Is likely to be withdrawn. The investigation of Central Oregon s resources Is not to be made by the O. R. & N. alone. A request will be made that the local commercial bodies interested In the proposed extension shall eend repre sentatives in Eastern Oregon and make an investigation as thorough as 'the rail road representatives. Portland May Talce Up Scheme. In the event the O. R. & N. refuses to build the proposed extension, the people of Portland might be called upon to con struct a line themselves. Naturally they would not proceed upon the reports made to the O. R. & N., but would accept the story of their own representatives. A statement has been made .to the rail road officials that the lumber traffic of tho proposed lino is a valuable considera tion in pushing forward the work. But It is considered by railroad men that this lumber traffic Is of a temporary character end could not bo depended upon to guar antee a permanent business for the new road. The investigation to be made will determine whethei' the country is capable of furnishing a jermanent and -remunerative business for a new line. Of course the Portland people interested in the extension are thoroughly satisfied that the country is one that it is desir able to reach, hut they will make the In vestigation to assuro themselves that this Is absolutely true. It Is believed that the facts will leave no question . that the new road will be constructed. Thus far there has been no general dis cussion of the plan whereby the O. R. & N. would make Its extension Into Central Oregon, but there Is every reason for be lieving that if anything la done, the Co lumbia Southern will be tho road ex tended. There Is a hard and fast traffic agree ment between the O. R. & N. and Colum bia Southern whereby the big line agrees to keep out of the territory of the smaller road. This Is an agreement backed up by depositing heavy guarantee bonds and It Is not likely either road would be a party to a -violation of the agreement, since too much Is Involved. So. while Mr. Harrlman has not stated eo in posi tive terms. It Is believed that. If the O. R. & N. does anything at all. it will take a new Issue of bonds from the Columbia Southern, unless the larger road buys out the smaller, something that is not now regarded as probable. No Line From California. The story recently telegraphed from San Francisco to the effect that Harrl man was planning an extension of the "Oregon Central" for the purpose of blocking Hill's scheme to build into San Francisco Is not regarded as worthy of any credence. There was a story afloat in San Francisco at the same time that the California, Nevada & Oregon would be built Into Central Oregon, diverting that trade to San Francisco. That the southern line Is to be extended is now regarded as certain and it will probably be built as far north as Lake view. From that point to Bend, where the -Columbia Southern's new terminus Is proposed, is a short distance and one that could easily be crossed by a rail road. But railroad men do not believe the California. Nevada & Oregon will go that far. Harrlman's pledge to protect Portland's Interests is accepted as a guarantee that no Southern Pacific line will be allowed to divert j the traffic to San Francisco. But the Great Northern story Is laid aside without much consideration. It Is easily demonstrated that the Great North ern Is not within striking distance of the Columbia Southern and It is not at all likely to be constructed to the river and across Into Oregon territory. The Northern Pacific is between 50 and 75 miles distant from the Columbia Southern, and while it could be extended to tap the Oregon country and ultimately be projected Into California, no such action is believed to be under contem plation. "Were tho Northern Pacific to enter O. R. & N. territory, the old struggle be tween the two railroads relative to the protection of each other's territory would be reopened. The O. R. & N. and North ern Pacific were engaged in such a strug gle last at the time the Clearwater fight was being waged. At that time a tacit understanding that the territory of the two roads was to be respected was an nounced. Any action of either of the Northern lines toward crossing the Co lumbia, upon what the San Francisco reports indicated to be a mission to Call Xornla, would be regarded by the O. R. & N. as an overt act which would be re sponded to by an railroad-building war. It !s not believed any of the lines are seeking such complications at present. Mnr Do Without Harrlman. Just what the Columbia Southern In tends to do, now that Harrlman has tied up the Central Oregon proposition again. Is not explained by the company officials. They claim to be able to make their ex tension without any aid from the Union Pacific or the O. R. & N. and Insist that their bonds were only offered to Harrl man as a matter of courtesy, since he held the first issue. Those railroad men close to the Colum bla Southern assert that road can make tho Central Oregon extension if it so desires and Insist that the officials will not wait much longer for a reply from Harrlman.

Trips Columbia River are already nu merous, and traffic to Long Beach has begun to show signs of picking up. Bothxthe rail and water lines are doing a good business on the Upper Columbia,, Usually these excursion trips are run as far up the river as The Dalles, and the scenery along the Columbia, together with the balmy Spring weather, furnishes an attractive ride. The travel to Ocosta and South Bend is limited largely to the people of the Ptfget Sound cities, though there are many who" take this run from Portland, usually for the purpose of spending a season at the ocean. It is a little early for this L travel to pick up, but the railroads Insist that the early Summer snowing is Detter than usual. The Yaqulna excursion business will not pick. up. for a few weeks.

"As the section of the Constitution upon which this objection Is based Is confused. Is without reason, and the people of the state have voted overwhelmingly for the amendment and only an irregularity as to j procedure Is claimed, which deceived no one, and as eminent courts have held that the courts are bound by the decision of the political branches of the govern ment as Jo when an amendment to the Constitution has been formally adopted, It would seem that the courts cannot now declare that the amendment has not In fact been adopted by the people. "In regard to the second objection, un der the United States Constitution, that 13 clearly a political question and not a judicial question. The supreme uourt 01 the United States has held, 'Under this article of the Constitution- It rests with Congress to decide what government is the established one In a state.

Congress must necessarily decide what government is es tablished in the state, before it can deter mine whether it .Is republican or not. And .when the Senators and Representatives of a state are admitted into the councils of the Unloiu the authority of the govern ment under which they are appointed,, as well as Its republican character Is recog nized by the proper constitutional author ities; Its decision is binding on every other department of the Government, and could not be questioned' In a judicial tribunal.' "The people of the State of Oregon have adopted by an overwhelming vote the In itiative and referendum. All the political branches of the state have recognized the amendment as valid. The last Legisla ture has recognized the validity and adop tion of the initiative and referendum amendment. Congress of the Unltefi States has admitted a new Senator of the state Into the councils of the Union, and has "thus recognized that Oregon with the amendment has a republican form of gov ernment, and now It Is going to be diffi cult for the courts of the State of Oregon In the face of this political action of the people and the Government to declare as a judicial question that the initiative and referendum amendment Is not a part of tne uonstitution of the State of Oregon, merely because the Legislature adopted the proposed amendment when other amendments, about other parts of the Con stitution were pending before the Legis lature.
