s THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, TORTLAND, -FEBRUARY 24, 1907. LINE TO EXTEND BEYOND MT.HOOD New Road May Serve as Con nection for Transconti nental System. SURVEY I? ACROSS RANGE Backers of Mount Hood Railway & ppwer Company Have More Pre tentious Plans Than Con struction of Branch. Instead of being an innocent trolley road to carry Portland people to the cool slopes of Mount Hood during the heated term, when the asphalt melts in the city, the line projected by the Mount Hood Rail way & Power Company is intended to form a connection with some transcon tinental road, bringing it across the Cas cades and Into Portland. The electric line lately acquired by K. P. Clark, the I.os Angeles railway mag nate, has more pretentious objects in view than lo haul pleasure-seekers between Portland and Oregon's famous peak. It aspires to climb the summit of the range and explore new territory beyond. Sui-veyors in the employ of Mr. Clark's company have penerated. far beyond Mount Hood, and have outlined a way for the shining rails of steel to follow which will carry them eastward over the Cascades and lead them down by easy gradients to the plains beyond. Much time and money has been spent In this work. The surveyors have sought out the farthest sources of the streams springing up from Mount Hood's eternal snows and have penetrated the deepest canyons in the work of finding a pass across which to run a new. railroad. It was with some set purpose then, and not an accident, that a grade of l'j per cent has been sought out across the Cas cade Mountains, which is of Itself -no small accomplishment. From the head waters of the Sandy to the source of the streams which later efface themselves in the Deschutes a great wall has1 been placed by nature, which defies man in overcoming it. and the grandest sentinel on guard is old Mount Hood. To over come this obstacle, has been a work re quiring months, but it has been done, and a way is open to build a' railroad across i lie state if desired or to a connection with some transcontinental system be yond the mountains. - Who will use the tracks to be built by the Mount Hood Railway is being kept a ' olose secret. Whether Mr. Clark, bead of the Los Angeles & Pacific system of South-. rn California, projects', railway reach ing into the interior of the state and across it into other . territory cannot be learned from those at the head of the preliminary work. The presumption is thet the line now being mapped out will offer a connection to' some transcontinental road, offering a way into Portland from the East. This may be the Northwestern, or it may be the St. Paul. It would not be unlikely that the latter ystem seeks such an en trance here, for the heads of the system, have been puzzled for a year to find an opening. E. P. Clark, head of the projected rail way, is now in Chicago. His visit there may have something to do with the final disposition of the road across the moun m tains. Just mapped out. At any rate, it has greater things ahead of it than a mere pleasure-seekers' road for the Sum mer travel. The route laid out across the Cascades is said to be a very desirable one. A pass, easy even for heavy trains with a grade In no place exceeding 1'4 per cent, has been secured. Curvature has also been reduced to a minimum. Between Portland and the summit of the range the road has been laid out with the view of building a modern railroad, capable of heavy traffic. m F.iihty-pound rails will be laid -and con struction will DC expensive. Just now the right of way agents for the road are having considerable difficulty In securing the desired lands at reason able prices. Property which was formerly valued at $r an acre has jumped to S500 when the owner found it was wanted for railroad purposes. Alternate lines have been run. and a new party of surveyors will be sent out next week to survey an entirely new route between Portland and the mountain. The terminus of the Mount Hood end of the line will be at the timber line, but the Intention is to run the road on across the mountain, but to what point the projectors will not tell. MADE RICH BY INVENTIONS "SeTcral Millionaires -Among Men Seeking; Motive Magnates' Ear. Among the men in Portland attending the meeting of the superintendents of motive power and equipment of'the Har rlman lines are several millionaires v hose inventions made them wealthy. They are here to Interest the superintend ents in various appliances, and there are dozens of agents of different companies that manufacture appliances for railroad use. Clarence H. Howard, president of the Commonwealth Steel company, of St. r.ouis, is among the many. He is reputed o b a millionaire several times over nd is the inventor of several appliances that are generally used toy the railroads of the United States. Ira C. Hubbell, president of the Loco motive Appliance Company, of Chicago, is another millionaire inventor. He de veloped and perfected a new valve motion and gear for locomotives, which has proven one of the most useful and beneficial appliances discovered in years. Both Mr. Howard and air. Hubbell are practical railroad men and began at the bottom. Years ago they worked In rail road machine shops as apprentices. W. H. Miner, of Chicago, Inventor of the Miner draft gear, is still another millionaire inventor In Portland to attend the meeting. 1.I.VE TO SPOKANE OPEN AGAIN Kailroaders Think Track Troubles Are OTer for This Winter. The main line and branches of the O. R. & N. to Spokane are now open and no more serious trouble is expected by the officials of the road this Spring. The line to Huntington has been open some time, but not until Friday night were the tracks to Spokane cleared. The railroad men expect a continuation of normal weather but even if the weather should turn, they think they will suffer little. All the weak places along their tracks have been repaired. I NITED AWAITING MATERIA!; onstrnctlon to Be Rnshed When Enough Arrives, Says Engineer. Actual construction work upon the t'nlted Railways Company's system is ex- iJ to begin within the next week or ten day and Ij. B.

Loss arrived in Portland from San Francisco yester day to superintend the starting of the work and will remain in Portland some time. Steel rails for the city lines are ar riving in Portland from Eastern mills and as soon as a sufficient quantity has been receiverf work is to begin. Mr. Loss and Mr. Wickersham do not want to be gin until they have enough rails in sight to enable fast construction. When once they begin work they say they do not want to stop until the city lines have been laid. Operations will start at Columbia and Front streets and the rails will be laid down Front street. P. & S. Freight Sheds Started. Work uDon the erection of the inv- mense freight hrf of the Portland & ! Seattle Railroad Company on Eleventh street between Hoyt and Lovejoy streets has begun.

The di rectors who gathered there were: Louis G. Clark. Henry L. Plttock. George H. Hill, Fred S. 'Stanley, E. J. Rathbone and Watson Allen, the latter of Scat tie. D. W. Wekefield. a member of the board. Is absent from the city on a tour of Europe. The first apportionment made was for JS3 750, with which to carry on general work during 1907, while an ad ditional $15,000 was provided for the purchase of a complete drilling; outfit, the drill and machinery to be the most modern that can be secured. Preparations will at once be made' for Inaugurating work this season, that it may start Immediately after the heavy snow has melted In the Kayak territo ry, which will be the latter part of Aiy. The property of -the. Anglo-American interests consists of 12.000 acres of choice oil lands In the Kayak district, on Behring Rivev. The fields are easy of access from'Kataila. while a portion of the tract is In close proximity to the town. That point is the tidewater terminus of the railroad, being built by J. P. Morgan and the Guggenhelms. of New York, the route of which is along Behring River and across Beh rlng Lake to Lake Charlotte and on to the Copper River country, where the vast copper deposits of the Guggen helms are .to be tapped. To handle the oil a smelter Is to be erected at K a -talla. all of which Is of importance in connection with the operations of the Anglo-Ajmerican Company. Inasmuch as transportation to the fields is an en couraging feature. The directors of the company locally are men of financial strength, as is Mr. Allen, a Seattle millionaire. A limited amount of stock is to be disposed of, some of which has already been sold, to assist in defraying the early ex penses. The location of the oil lands, adjoining those of the English Com pany, are such that stock is taken readily. On the latter property a gusher was recently opened which spurted 115 feet Into the air, and the English Company's stock rose 62 points for one in a single night. -" ESTABLISHED BUSINESS Bought. Now that J. C. Schaefer, for over- six years cutter for Nicoll. the tailor, is In business for himself again, having bought out Armstrong, the tailor, rooms 10 and 11 Raleigh building. Sixth and Washington streets, dozens of those he so nicely fitted out with stylish garments In the past are com ing to him to "do It all over again." Scores of new faces are seen in that establishment these days that is, faces new to the shop, but not new to Mr. Schaefer. They are men he has pleased before in the excellent fit of the garments he fashioned for them. A good workman Is always appre ciated. He makes his place the head quarters for Duluth friends, where a used to be the leading tailor for II years. I JUDGE FRAZER AND MANNING DIFFER Juvenile Court May Have No Prosecutor as the Re-., suit of Dispute. TWO CANDIDATES FOR JOB Judge Favors Appointment of Rob ert V. Galloway, and District Attorney Suggest! Name of Ernest Brand. The question of appointing a Deputy District Attorney for service in the Juve nile Court brought on hot words between I firrnit .TnHpe A I.. Fraxer and District APPROXIMATE BOltE OF THE t him a man -Tor political purposes, while Mr.' Manning-said he Intended nothing of the sort. -In consequence of the incident the -Juvemie"- Court may have to he con ducted indefinitely without a pVosecutor. for Judge Frazer stated unequivoeahty that he would have no appointment made that was not satisfactory to him, and Mr. Manning replied that he would appoint no one. Under the terms of the Juvenile Court law. passed ten days ago by the Legisla ture, the appointment of a deputy must be made by the District Attorney, sub ject to approval by the court. It Is learned from a reliable sour.ee that Judge Frazer favors the appointment of Robert V. Galloway, while Mr. Manning suggest ed the name of Ernest Brand. Each can didate for the position has a host of friends and supporters. There has been a feeling, however, among Circuit Court attaches that the position should go to Mr. Galloway, who has had experience in this line of work and is interested deeply in the Juvenile Court. Recently he devoted his services free of charge to juvenile cases and kept up this work for a period of five months, entirely without pay or expectation of future remuneration or reward. This difference of opinion as to the bet ter man for the place came to a climax in Judge Frazer's private chamber a few minutes before the opening of the fore noon session of court, at S:30 o'clock.

Judge Frazer was discussing legal matters with Judges Sears and Gantenbein when Mr. Manning entered. "By the way, do you know Ernest Brand"? asked Mr. Manning, after salu tations had been exchanged. "I have heard of him, but. -I do not know him personally," said Judge Frazer. "What time do you hold your sessions of the Juvenile Court?" was the next question. "Usually about 4 or 5 o'clock after the sessions of the Circuit Court are com pleted." replied the Judge. "Well. I'm going to send (Mr. Brand up here and let you break him in and when ' the law goes Into effect I will appoint him," was Mr. Manning's next remark. "I do not think you ought to appoint anyone without consulting me in the mat tery I do not want anyone appointed for political purposes," said Judge Frazer. "What do you mean?" demanded Mr. Manning, flushing red. "I don't appoint anyone for political purposes any more than you do." "I have never appointed anyone - for political purposes yet," said Judge Frazer. "Well, what do you know about Ernest Brand? Have you ever heard anything against him?"- demanded Mr. Manning. "I have never heard anything about him but I chink I ought to be consulted in this matter." "I was only going to send him over for you to try him. That was all I said." "No, you said a moment ago you were going to appoint him." VI didn't say that." "You did say It a moment ago. I want someone here who is satisfactory to me and not a mere hangeron around your office.'" "I want you to understand that I have got just as good men around my office as J you have in yours," retorted. Mr. Man ning angrily. "Not so loud," cautioned Judge. Sears as Mr. Manning was rapidly losing his temper. "I meant no reflection on your office foree.' "If I can't have someone who is satis factory I won't have anyone." said Judge Frazer as he arose to go on the bench. "All right; that sufts me I won't have anyone," was My. Manning's response as he left the room. Both1 declined to make any statement for publication when seen later. -CHEATS DEATH; FILES SUIT. Workman Survives Fearful fall aud .. Seeks Damages. Alleging that the lack' of an inspec tion system in the construction of the Wells Fargo building caused an acci dent which ruined him for life, Harold F.

Saloonkeeper John Kelly said it was his saloon. Mrs. Andrews invaded. He finally went after the police and returned to find her Kone. 'M. McCloud. a private detective, testified that he shadowed the wife and that she flirted with at least a dozen men at various times. ' Andrews is seeking a divorce on the grounds that his wife's alleged Indiscre tions have ruined his peace of mind. Back in Indiana, where they lived pre vious to a year ago. she contested her grandfather's will. He claims he is a man of sensitive temperament and that his wife's frivolities, are simply unbear able. He came to Portland to escape her, he says, but after a few months she appeared on the scene. Mm. Andrews, who is contesting the case, contends that the domestic trouble ts the result of Andrews' fondness for -other women.
