Some Agitation Recti n to Pasa Vp the English Game Also, but It Has Taken a Firm Hold on School. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. H (Spe cial.) The advent of tha football sea son brings the fact very much to light that tha American Intercollegiate foot ball game has passed out of existence around the bay. There will not be mora than two teams at the outside piaytng the old game this year. The Wing V and other strong elevens had to give up hopes or organising for lack of ma terial. Since California and Stanford adapted Rugby as the intercollegiate sport of the year the preparatory and even the grammar schools have fallen in line and taken up the English game. Belmont Military Academy. Billy Keed's strong hold tor the American game, has given In and has been converted to Rugby and that waa the last stand of the old game. Old gridiron stars of the days when they bucked the line bold, view the situation with tears in their eyes. Some agitation has been started even to pass up Rugby, though the game riss taken a firm hold here. Coaches Jimmy SchaetTer and George Prestley. of the local unlversltlea contemplate changing the rules somewhat to permit of more open play, but the heads of the Institu tions stepped In and called a halt, tear ing that such tampering would spoil the game. Talk Is now going the rounds that the Northern Union game, which has spread from continent to continent, may be the new game of the West. Advocates of this entirely new game here declare that It Is a big Improvement on Rugby and urge that It be considered as an intercollegiate sport. British Columbia will be represented by a combined team from Victoria and Vancouver In the matches with Stan ford and Cs'lfornla this season.

EASTERN CITIES ACTIVE Trade Interest of Portland to Be Guarded by Committee That Will Study Situation In Connec tion With Canal Opening. Pleased with his reception here and the enthusiastic Interest manifested by business men In his project tor a Coast-to-Coast line of Independent steamers owned by the people. Bernard N. Baker, president of the Atlantic Paclflo Transport Company. lett last night on the Shasta Limited for San Francleoo, where he will submit his plan to tha shipping interesta of that city. The plan being promoted by Mr. Baker and his associates la receiving the co-operation of commercial or ganizations of the principal cities on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Before leaving this city last night, Mr. Baker received the rollowlng telegram from A. H. Boole, one of the incorpor ators of the Atlantic & Paciflo Trans port Company: Trade organisations from Boston to Rich mond were represented or their traffic man aaers at today s (Friday) meeting In Manu facturers' Convention rooms. Ives, of Bos ton, presided. I read over company's pros pectus afterwards, addressed meetlns ana answered questions for two hours. Beiult unqualified support of our proposition will be recommended to all home bodies to co operate to make flotation successful. The New York meeting had been planned for some time. It was one of several of a like nature that will be held for the purpose of developing publlo sentiment In tha movement for tha proposed Coast-to-Coast line of steamers, via the Panama Canal. Coaasaltte to be Cbesem. The gathering- of representative bus iness men of this city, held Friday noon, authorized J. N. Teal, of Oils city, to select four men to serve with him In further presenting the scheme to the shipping Interests of this city. The purpose of this action Is to Insure for Portland and Its large commercial interests proper representation In permanently launching the proposed transport company and obtaining for Portland a membership In the director ate of that body which Is to consist or ten members: equally divided be tween the two coasts. Mr. Teal said yesterday that he had not selected his conferees who would not be announced for a few days. It will be his purpose to name on this committee men that will most com pletely represent the interests con cerned In the project. Mr. Teal goes East early next month on business and while there will hold further con ferences with Mr. Baker. On his re turn Mr. Teal expects to be In a posi tion to give Information to local busi ness msn aa to the progress attained by Mr. Baker and his associates In raising the Initial $3,000,000 subscrip tion to tha stock of the corporation. Mail Cen tracts Inyortsit "It Is simply a question of whether or not Portland la to become a big city or a big town." aald Mr. Teal, yes terday. "Portland can easily become a big Interior town, but if It Is to be a cosmopolitan olty, wo must have salt water. Bualnesa men here are In tensely -Interested In the proposal of Mr. Baker and hla assc.latea and there Is no question but the project will be consummated. Of course. It is con tingent altogether on the company securing one or mors of the Govern ment ocean mail contracts, for which bids will be submitted. When thla has been achieved, there will be no trouble in raising the rther $12,000,000 of stock subscriptions which will be needed to establish and operate the proposed steamship line. Profiting by their experience In los ing, through indifference, the bulk of the Alaskan trade, which properly be longed to them, Portland business vnen are doubly aroused at this time in any feasible plan that will Insure for them a proper and deserved share of the advantages In trade expansion that will attend the completion of the Panama Canal. Awakening la Asa area. They have not forgotten that It was due to their apathy that the Govern ment contracts for carrying mall to Alsska were transferred from this city to Puget Sound a few years ago. This was done without a protest being of fered, although Washington at the time was a territory and this state had representation at Washington. Neither are they unmindful of the fact that a line of ateamers that oper ated between thla city and Alaska about the time of the Klondike rush was shortly afterward taken oft to the serious curtailment in the volume of trade then carried on between Port land and the Alaskan gold camps. The business men are determined to awaken from their lethargy and see to it tft Portland Is placed on an equal footing with other Paclflo Coast ports In the enjoyment of natural ad vantages which will follow the com pletion of the Panama Canal. CITY'S PAVING VIEWED DOZEN LEWISTON MEN HERE TO INSPECT STREETS. Delegation Conies to Judge Merits of . Material Before Letting Contract. Commission Plan Rules. Twelve municipal officials and busi ness men of Lewlston. Idaho, are in the city aa guests oC the Hassam Paving Company and the Warren Con struction Company. The visitors, who are registered at Hotel Oregon. In spected several miles or Portland's paved streets yesterday. observing these Improvements at all stages of completion. "We have about three miles of paved streets in Lewlston. consisting of the principal streets, and we are plan ning to build another mile of perma nent street thst will connect the city with an extensive and highly devel oped orchard district adjoining the city." ssld George K. Erb. municipal Judge of LewlMon. and personal rep resentative of the Mayor. "We came to Portland to Inspect and satisfy ourselves as to the relative merits of the different kinds of paving. Our city Is now expending $150,000 In grading the streets and building curbs in the residence districts and we ex pect that by the time we have com pleted the contemplated road to the orchard district, our people will de mand other paved streets within the corporate limits of the city." Iwiston has a commission govern ment, but Mr. Erb does not think the city Is sufficiently large for under- l taking that plan of municipal admln- istration. A Mayor and six Councll t men or Commissioners run the . city. The Mayor is elected for two years and receives an annual salary of $300, while the Commissioners are elected, three every year, for a term of two years. They get $3 for each meeting they attend, not exceeding $500 an nually. Mr. Erb said he found no i laun wiin ins aamimsirauoii ui m, j city's, affairs, but maintained that the i 'city is not large enough to pay the Commissioners a salary proportionate to the services required. He said the Commissioners devote fully two-thirds of their time to the business of the city. In addition to Mr. Erb. the mem bers of the Lwlston party were: A. J. Wisner, J. L. Fenton. C. H. Baker and J. O. Wilkinson. Commissioners: C. F. V. Tsylor, City Engineer; Dr. John Ray. E. V. Potvln. C. C. Cart Itch, J. W. Whltcomb. W. D. Jessie and C. Thatcher. They were Joined here by W. H. Hara of Spokane and T. O. Munro of this city, representatives of the Hassam Paving Company, J. E. Ballou of Spokane and R. J. Hamlll of this city, of the Warren Construction Company. FIGHT GAME AT STAND SAN FRANCISCO FANS GET NO HIGH-CLASS CARDS. GallDgtier's Attack on Amateur Clubs Deala Solar Plexus Blow to Them Also. SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 16. (Spe cial.) The fight game in San Francisco Is practically at a standstill at present. Since the Wolgast-Moran bout of July 4 last, local fans have had no high class ring' sport of any description. Jimmy Cofforth built up hopes some what during the week by announcing that he was In the flold with. a bid for the Ad Wolgast-McFarland bout if it happened to fall through at Milwaukee, but nothing followed the initial an nouncement. Milton T. Clark, who holds the per mit to stage a boxing show this month, has been so busy with his contracting business that ho has turned over the management of the show to Billy Kyne, one of the managers of the so-called amateur shows, and nothing but a third or fourth-class pugilistic card will be offered thla month. The so-called amateur fight clubs were handed a solar-plexus blow dur ing the week by Supervisor Andy Gal lagher, who waa but recently appointed to the board. Gallagher voted against granting further permits to the so called amateur clubs which promote shows every Friday night. He based hla argument on the ground that the clubs were amateur in name only and that it was a well-known .fact that pro fessionals received money for boxing at these shows which were sanctioned aa amateur affairs. Gallagher's war on the so-called amateur clubs will likely re sult in a wholesale investigation which may wipe them out of existence. Pete McVeigh, the stocky Northwest ern lightweight, is In town looking for trouble. He has hurled a challenge at any of the local lightweights and it is likely that he will catch on in one ot the special bouts In the so-called ama teur shows. EDNA GOODRICH WED AGAIN Ex-Partner of Nat Goodwin Slarrled to English Sportsman. NEW YORK, Sept. 18 Friends of Edna Goodrich, the fourth former wife of Nat Goodwin, were authority for the announcement today that the ac tress has been married to Marlon Kean, an English sportsman, who shoota at clay pigeons. In letters received on this side of the Atlantic the bridegroom is de scribed as a "wealthy English noble man and the shooting companion of the ex-King of Portugal." This informa tion is said to have come from Miss Goodrich herself. " One of ber confidants, Mable Talia ferro, returned from Paris today and confirmed the report- Father O'Hara Will Speak. At St. Mary's Cathedral. Fifteenth and Davis streets, this evening at 7:46 Father O'Hara will give his first ser mon of a series on present day moral problems. Tonight he will preach on 'Divorce." A Land Company Almost Goes Into Piano Business Dealer With Three Carloads of New Pianos Thought He Would Locate in Boise, Idaho, Then Changed His Mind and Came to Portland Found Rents Here Too High and Traded Pianos for Apple Land Now the Pianos Must Be Sold. Look at These Low Prices. The heading of this announcement tells the story In a nutshell. An East ern piano dealer determined to go into the piano business in Idaho. He se lected three carloads of pianos and brought them wth him. Good pianos, too. He changed his mind when he came to Boise and diverted the cars Into Portland. When he came here he thought the rents were too high, and after hurried negotiations he made a trade with a prominent land company for apple land. Now we are to sell these three carloads of pianos, 63 in ,t"m.ntr.e altogether for the land company's account. Hence the un heard of low prices! it Isn't necessary to bring all the money. We shall give 30 months time in which to complete the pur chase The main thing is to quickly turn these instruments into money or Interest-bearing paper. The pianos are of well-known, high grade make. There are several 600 and 2 pianos, but most of them are Instruments that usually sell by deal ers hereabouts for 1330 and 1373. There are some $150 styles. All of them brand new and warranted. Every Instrument has been carefully exam ined by us. We are free to say that no better selection of pianos could have been sent anywhere than ia com prised in this lot of 63 fine new in struments. We must make quick work of it. Ten days is all the time we have to dis pose of these pianos. We shall sell the $230 styles at 114 1 down and 5 a month buys them. SESSION RESTS Oil WORD .OF SOUS West May Call Legislators if . Action Is Confined to Good Roads Bills. EARLY DECISION EXPECTED Governor Said lo Be Willing Thnt Road Laws Be Enacted but Is Desirous That No Other Sub ject Be Cosldered. Governor West at Salem yesterday said he would decide early this week whether or not he would convene the Oregon Legislature in special session to enact the good roads bills drafted and recommended for enactment by a special commission, appointed by the Governor for that purpose, in thla city last week: . Dr. A. C. Smith, chairman of the. Good Roads Commission, said yester day that drafts of the bills prepared by the commission were in the hands of Governor West. He said further more that members of the commission would arrange for aconference with the Governor probably tomorrow or Tuesday and urge upon him the neces sity of calling the Legislators together at this time. The members of the com mission have the understanding that tha measures prepared by their body meet with the wishes of the Governor in the matter of desirable road legisla tion. Session May Be Limited. "I understand from others." said Dr. Smith last night, "that if. after a thorough review the bills meet with his approval. Governor West will call a special session of the Legislature if the members will agree to confine them selves to good road legislation." The special session of 1909, called by Governor Benson to cure defects in an appropriation bill, concluded Its work and adjourned within a week. At that time Governor Benson first gained as surances from a majority of the 90 members that they would restrict their work to such legislation as was re quired to make the appropriations, in cluded In the faulty measure, available. This pledge was kept quite faithfully by the lawmakers although at the same extraordinary session several changes were made in the game laws of the state. Vetoed Bills Are Eye. In view of the more or less turbulent session of 1911, however, and the whole sale application by Governor West of his veto as to bills following its ad journment. It remains to be seen to what extent the Governor will be able to tie the hands of the legislators in advance bo that the scope of their work will not extend beyond a consideration of good roads legislation. It Is known that some of the members of both houses are eagerly awaiting an oppor tunity to call up for consideration a number of these very bills which fell under West's disapproval. It is entirely a question of whether or not the desire for providing legisla tion that will Insure construction, under state aid. of systematic and permanent highways, is greater than the wish of a Republican Legislature to prolong the session with a consideration of meas ures enacted at the regular session and vetoed by a Democratic Governor. Good roads enthusiasts all over the state will urge upon their Senators and Representatives that they comply with the expressed wishes of Governor West and agree not to consider other legislation than that recommended by the special commission and relating to. good roads. If his plan works out, a special session undoubtedly will be called. DESCHUTES EXTENDS LINE Connection, of Branch With Oregon Trunk to Be at Metollus. METOLIUS. Or- Sept. 16, (Special.) The Deschutes Railway has pur chased a right-of-way just north of Metollus, where connection will be made with the Oregon Trunk Rail way, Instead of at Culver. The old grade of the Deschutes line between thla place and Culver will be aban doned, because the company will usa the station, as well as the yards. The $330 styles will be sold at $238, $S down and 6 a month buys them. The $400 and $430 styles will be slaughtered at a uniform price of $262 and $282 $12 down and $7 a month will buy them. In this assortment are several very fancy elaborately designed Instru ments real gems of the piano maker's art. that could not ordinarily be bought for less than $600 or $625. The cost of these Instruments is slightly over $350. In order to get rid of them we make the terms $25 down and $10 per month. They should rent for more than that. They must ba seen to be appreciated. Coming at this time of year, this ittle sale of 63 pianos should prove a veritable bonanxa for the hundreds of homes that ought to have a piano Im mediately. Bear In mind that we warrant the quality as we also warrant the price. At any time within two years after receipt of piano the instrument may be exchanged toward payment of any thing else out of the big stock of Eilers Music House, and full amount paid at these sale prices will be al lowed toward payment of such new in strument. Bear in mind, however, that quick action is accessary. There'Il be dozens and dozens of people here first thing Monday to participate in this unusual occasion. We shall not devote more than 10 days to this sale. Everything in bona fide. Every instarument ad vertised will be found here, and ex actly as represented, or money back. Eilers Music House, now at Seventh and Alder, J roundhouse and other facilities estab lished by the Oregon Trunk. The track of the Deschutes line has been extended from the Willow Creek bridge at Madras to a point one-half mile north of Metollus, where the con nection between the two roads will be established. The Central Oregon Mercantile Com pany, the largest tirm in Central Ore gon, now operating a store at Madras, have decided to erect a concrete store building here at once and to fill it with a stock of goods, and Ramsey & For sythe are erecting a two-story build ing, to be used by them for a drug store. tiit.v MFTKnRf)IXM.ICAL REPORT.
