Detail are being worked out rapidly ' tor the formation of a gigantic railroad trust txulde which all the other great truata heretofore organised In thla coun try will dwindle Into insignificance. A doson eaatem flnanclera, headed by the Standard Oil Interests, with their unlimited wealth, expect to control tha entire railroad aystem In tha country - and prevent competition among tha vari ous road. The plan la to dlvlda tha railroads of the country Into a few groups or sys tems, each one of which Is to own substantial Interest in the stocks and securities of every other big group or system, and all to have representation on each other's board of directors. The dosen financiers, all represented on the boards of the various roads, will control, from present appearancea. over 10.000 miles of railroads, Including every important trunk line In the coun try, representing a capitalisation of about 18.000. 000.000 la stocks and bonds. They will sae to It that the roads are managed as economically aa possible and the rates kept up to as high a figure as the traffic will bear In order to se cure all the revenue necessary to pay good dividends on the enormous capitalisation. n, Mmiininr nt avetsms.

The mileage of Mor gan's southern railway system is 11,871 miles, with a capitalisation of 1297, 0.000. The New England railroad system has not yet taken definite shape, but judg ing from the late absorption of the New Tork, Ontario Western by. the New Tors, New Haven 4V Hartford railroad, the latter will probably expand Into the Slew RnvUlut ITltffm The mileage of the NOW Havsn A Hartford without the New Tork. On tario A Western is 2.038 and its capital isation 1107.302.583. The Ontario A Western, which it has absorbed, has a mileage of 4(1 and a capitalisation of about 187.003.862. Tha Vanderbllt Interests have a con siderable mileage In New England, which Is Included in that of tho Vanderbllt system. The Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific railways, which are independent roads, also own or control -several Im portant New England lines. The latter two roads will probably be held in lino by strong traffic agree ments with tho big American systems. Stoma Independent -.mas. Of course, there are still a number of American lines like the Chicago Great Western. Minneapolis A St. Louis, Iowa Central. Delaware. Lackawanna A West ern. Lehigh Valiejr, Denver worm western, and others, that still maintain an Independent position, but it is only a question or a snort rime wnen way, too. will be swallowed up by the large systems. . The San Pedro. Los Angeles A Skit Lake railroad, built during the last four years by Senator W. A. Clark, has prac tically become a Harriman line. Senator Clark, who Intended to make his road a competitor to Harrlman's Oregon Short Line and to furnish an outlet for In dependent lines from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles snd San Pedro harbor, has -sold lately a half interest In ths property to tho Harriman Interests, and portions of the Oregon 8hort Lino, which Is par alleled, have been merged with It. Status of tha Alton. Although the Moore brothers and their allies at present hold a mnrnrity of tha stock of the Chicago A Alton, the road may sttll be classed as a Hamman prop erty, as Mr. Harriman continues to direct Its management and has a ma jority of Its board of directors. if la not thought that the Rock Island interests bought Alton as a permanent investment. The Illinois Central, although not rinuiv affiliated with anv of the big syndicates, is put In the Harriman col umn, as Mr. Harriman is not only a director but a member or tne executive committee of the company. The Illinois Central has a mileage of 4,4(4 and con nects with ths Union Pacific at Omaha and the Southern Pacific at New Orleans and has close traffic arrangements with both of these Harriman roads. Another line which may properly be MUST BELIEVE IT yhen Weil-Known Portland Peo pie Tell It So Plainly. Includes Harriman Lines and Total of 160,000 Miles of Road. called a Harriman line Is ths Kansas City Southern, formerly tho Kansas City, Pittsburg A.- Gulf. Harriman has a large interest in this road and is one of its directors. The road runs from Kansas City to Port Arthur. Tea., with branches to Port Smith. Ark... and Lake Charles. La. It has a mileage of (SO and Is val uable as a gulf outlet Besides tho vsst system of railroads controlled by the Harriman Interests their ownership of steamship lines Is no less important. The Pacific Mall Steamship company, of Which K. H. Har riman Is tho president, is the leading steamship 11ns from New fork and San Francisco to tha orient It runs a pow erful fleet of steamers from New York to San Francisco and from Ban Fran cisco to Crttna and Japan. The Morgan lino of steamers Is con trolled entirely by tho Harriman Inter ests. Thoy run ' from Now Tork to New Orleans and Galveston and connect with ths Southern Pacific roads. A large part of tho merchandise traffic between New Tork and San Francisco Is hsndled by the Morgan line of steamers via New Orleans snd El Paso, over What is known as the Southern Pacific "Sunset Routs." Development of QotUd System. Tho ! developments among the Goujd properties during tho last two years have attracted wide attention. Ths en trance of tho Wabash into Pittsburg and the purchase of the West Virginia Cen tral and Western Maryland, whereby It secured an entrance Into Baltimore, and obtained an outlet to the Atlantic sea board, at one time threatened a serious fight between Gould snd the Pennsyl vania interests. The relations , between them became so strained that the Pennsylvania re fused to permit the Western Union Tel egraph company, one of the Gould prop erties, to continue to do business over the Pennsylvania right of way. While the relations between the Penn sylvania and the Gould interests con tinue strained. It is generally believed that their difficulties will soon be patched up and both these big inter ests work together in harmony. plana Transcontinental Idas. Ths plans- of tho Gould Interests are known to be most ambitious. It Is be lieved to be their intention to construct or establish a transcontinental line stretching from the Atlantic to tho Pa cific. Through the acquisition of the Wheeling and Lake Erie, West Virginia Central, and Western Maryland, with the construction of some new mileage, tho eastern terminus of the Gould sys tem practically has been moved to tho Atlantic seaboard, -rnrougn in acqui sition of ths Denver and Rio Grande and the Rio Grande Western tho western terminus has been advanced to Salt Lake city. Arrangements havo been mads lately for the construction of a new road, to' bo known aa the Western Pacific, In srhlch the Goulds are largely Interested, and which la expected to furnish them with the desired outlet from Salt Lake city to Ban Francisco. Ths Western Pacific, if carried to com pletion, will become a direct rival of the Southern Pacific as a trunk line to the Pacific coast. The capitalization of the Western Pacific is sa follows: Stock (paid up. 11,600,000) . .$60,000,000 Bonds (30-year, 6 per cent) . . 60.000.000 Total ...1 100,000,000 of Book Island. The rapid expansion of the mileage of the Rock Island-Frisco system during ths last two years has been a feature In the railroad situation. The present man agement of this system, which controls almost unlimited financial resources, ac quired control of the Rock Island In 101. After thoroughly examining the af fairs of the company William H. Moore, James H. Moore, D. G. Reld and William B. Leeds purchased the majority of the capital stock and almost Immedi ately an ambitious plan of expansion was begun. During 101 the Crioctaw. Oklahoma and Gulf, the Choctaw and Northern, the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern, the St. Louis, Kansas City and Gulf, and a number of small railroad properties were acquired. About the same time the Moore brothers and Leeds and Bold, by join ing hands with B. F. Yoakum, secured control of the Frisco system. A year ago this company acquired the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad. Through these acquisitions ths Rock Island-Frisco system has become one of the most extensive and Important In the country. The blow delivered by the supreme court of the United States to ths North ern Securities company has acted with withering effect, not only upon the plans of James J. H1U aa regards his northwestern system of roads, but also upon the embryonic plans of those who control the other groups. Had the decision upheld the conten tions of Mill's lawyers every big rail road system In the country would have had a holding company similar to the Northern Securities. As It was the for mation of trust companies was aban doned, and for a time It looked as If a general sequestration of the big Sys tems would be the result. When public lrf.orsement Is made by al representative cltlsen of Portland the proof is positive. You must believe It Read this testimony.

Old right In consequence of the supreme court's decision the old fight between the Hill and Harriman interests has been re newed and the question as to whether the Burlington is In control of the Union Pacific or the Great Northern la yet to be determined by the courts. Rumors have been current lately that a compromise had been effected and peace restored. One report was that the Union Pacific had secured control of the Burlington and that the Northern Pa cific would become part of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul. These reports have been officially contradicted, and Mr. Hill says there Is no danger of a disintegration of his system of roads. After the big syndicates had rallied from the supreme court's knockout blow sufficiently to give due consideration to the situation the conclusion was reached that It would be useless to sttempt a resurrection of the Securities companies scheme, and It was agreed to readopt the original community of Interest plan, which practically would bring about the same results, If congress can be In duced to pass a law to legalise railroad pools. Santa Fe Stand Alone.. The Santa Fe system has no affiliation at present with any of the other big systems, but reports have been current far some time that the Rockefeller arid Harriman Interests hare secured a large Interest In It. The Saata Fe, however. Is big enough to stsnd on Its own bot tom, having a mileage of (,713 and ex tending from Chicago to tho Pacific coast, and over the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe to the gulf of Mexico, with a network of roads In Kansss. Okla homa, New Mexico, and Artsona. In the territory east of Chicago and St Louts there are at present but two well defined big systems, the Vanderbllt and the Pennsylvania, with a third one the Erie, Pare Marquette, and Cincin nati. Hamilton A Dayton In process of formation. The Vanderbllt and Pennsylvania In terests today control nearly all of the principal roads between Chicago and the Atlantic seaboard. The Delaware, Lackawanna A Western can be classed a Vanderbllt road, as the Vanderbllts are known to be largely interested In it. The Chesapeake A Ohio and Baltimore A Ohio, as well as the Reading railroad, are In Pennsylvania control. The Le high Valley road Is still Independent but It Is only a question of time when It. too, will become affiliated with one of the other big eastern systems. Vanderbllts Have Western Lines. The Vanderbllt system Is the only one In the east that extends Into territory west of Chicago and the Mississippi, just as the Gould system Is the only western one that laps over into eastern territory. The Vanderbllts. however, unlke Mr. Gould, are making no effort to 'extend the Northwestern to the Pa cific coast but are content with the traffic alliance the road has with Harrl man's Union and Southern Pacific roads. Thnus-h the Chicago A Northwestern Is a Vanderbllt property, yet scrupulous care has been taken not to have It closely Identified with the Vsnderbilt roads east of Chicago, and it exchanges traffic with all of Its eastern connec tions on the same terms aa it does with them. Some, time ago It was reported that the Pennsylvania waa trying to secure control of the Santa Fe system, with a view of securing a contlnuoua line from ocean to ocean. This has been denied, however, by both the Pennsylvsnla and Santa Fe people, and there Is nothing to Indicate that the Pennsylvania baa any large Interest in the Santa Fe. Every effort of the Vanderbllt Penn sylvania and other eastern Interests ap pears to be directed toward preventing close affiliations between single eastern and western systems. It seems to bs their earnest desire to continue Chicago and the Mississippi river ss the dividing lines. Traffic conditions In the two sec tions of the country, it is claimed, are so different that they never can be har monised. , Owing to this difference the eastern and western roads have to classify their freight differently. The eastern linos use what is known aa the official classification." which divides all articles of freight Into six classes, while the western lfnes use the so-called "Joint western classification," which divides the freight Into ten classes. It Is for these reasons mainly that the Penn sylvania and the other eastern Interests are making such strenuous efforts to prevent the Gould Interests from car rying through their ocean to ocean schema Gentlemen's Agreement The community of Interest plan, which, owing to the collapse of the "securi ties" scheme has received a fresh Im petus, dates back to 18. At that time railroad competition waa so strong that It was Impossible to secure the mainte nance of paying rates. Railroad wars "were of frequent occurrence and even the presidents of the various roads were powerless to prevent It The eastern capitalists Interested in the bonds be came restless over the continued pass ing of dividends. They appealed to J. Plerpont Morgan, then the moat power ful flnanoler In the country, to come to their rescue, and tho far-famed meet ing of the heads of the big banking firms in Now York and the presidents of the principal roads In the country on board Morgan's yacht In Nsw York was held as the result The so-called "gentlemen's agree ment" was adopted at that meeting, the financial Interests pledging themselves to furnish no more money to Independ ent parties for the construction of new roads and the railroad presidents agreed to discharge any official who dared to cut a rate. Morgan Long tha Dictator. From this time on until about two years ago, J. Plsrpont Morgan was the absolute ruler of the railroads In the United Slates. Under his leadership rate wars became less frequent and when any did occur they were speedily settled through tke Intervention of the big bankers and financial Interests In New York. Construction of new lines by Independent companies absolutely pre vented, and, while In 1((( there wore far more railroads In existence than were needed, there are today not nearly enough eaat of Chicago and St. Louis to handle adequately the continually ex panding traffic. The community of interest scheme, however, received a terrific Jolt two yeara ago, when J. J. Hill and E. IL Harriman became Involved In a serious fight over the control of the Northern Pacific, which resulted In cornering the stock of that road and the worst psnlc On the stock market that had been experienced In years. Subsequently a comproralss was effected. The -famous Northern Securities scheme evolved. Its legality waa tested in the courts with 'the result already noted. Had it not been for the collapse of the Northern Securities company similar ones would have been atarted by the other big rail road systems. Standard Oil Control. Nearly all the changes thus far made In the regrouping of the western and eastern railroad systems suggest Stand ard Oil control of railroads to an extent that no other single Interest has ever thought of undortaklng before. Changes In the directories of the various trunk railroads are being watched with great Interest because It Is believed they fore shadow the complete ascendency of the Standard Oil Interests in most oi the Important railroad systems of the country and the elimination, to a great extent, of the power heretofore wielded by J. Plerpont Morgan. Within the last two or three years the Rockefeller Interests have obtained a foothold In the New Tork Central, New Haven & Hartford, Chicago A Northwestern and Union Pacific. The Moore brothers. In their Rock Island deals, are said to be aided by the Rockefellers. The Standard Oil in terests control the Chicago, Milwaukee A St Paul and Mlsssourl, Kansas A Texas.. They sre heavily in Gould's Missouri Pacific and Wabash. They are also ssld to have acquired lately 240.000 shares of Atchison, iopeka A Santa Fe stock from Kuhn, Loeb A Co. The Rockefellers disclaim any Inten tion of controlling the railroads of this country. They assert It Is their desire merely to have a voice In tke manage ment of he roads and thus prevent any undue preference being given to their competitors In the oil business THE JOURNAL SCHOOL OF MUSIC EVERY SCHOOL BOY -AND SCHOOL GIRL SHOULD ATTEND Piano Lessons Free ANYONE can learn to play' by the new method of teaching music by object lessons, which will begin i in The Sunday Jour na November 20.
