ON THE NORTH BANK STEEL EA(LS FF.OM WALLULA WEST TO PORTLAND. Northern Pacific and 0. B. & N. In a Battle Boyal for Bight of Way Sown the Columbia. What promises to be the greatest railroad war in the history of the Northwest and which will to a large extent revolutionize the transports tion facilities of certain portions of the Inland Empire, has commenced. Both companies are now after the right of way down the north bank of the Colombia from Wallnla to Port laud. Concerning the coming war the Portland Journal says: "The Portland & Seattle Kailroad company is not doing any talking it is letting its actions speak for it I can say this much, however, that constrnction work is actually under way, and several camps are in the field, on a line of railroad to be bnilt immediately from Vanconver along the north bank of the Columbia river," said the president, J. Couch Flanders, today. This is the first offical statement that has been made by any person qualified to speak con cerning the great railroad movement that has been entered upon between Portland and Wallula. ,. There is no longer the slightest room for doubt that the greatest rail road war in the history of the states of Oregon aud Washington is begun. It is still denied that the Portland & Seattle is auxiliary of the North ern Pacific, but this denial is taken for what it is worth a statement re quired by the exigencies of the situa tion. The gist of the matter is said to be that the Portland & Seattle, incor porated by the Northern Pacific com pany to build a line from Portland to Wllaula and complete a direct line for the Northern Paoiflo from Portland to Spokane, has actually begun construo- A.' l 4.V I -' - J 11 . m.i lula Pacific, an Oregon Kailroad & Navigation company organization, is bending its energies to prevent or delay this work, as such a line would completely destroy the present Hani man monopoly of this territory. 2 Completion of a line of railroad on the north bank of the Columbia, giv ing the Northern Pacific a direct route riofwann Df 1 a - I nn1 - (24- Panl would immediately change the entire traffio situation in the Paoiflo North west, and bring an immense increase of business via the Northern Paoiflo through the Portland gateway This week there will probably be further official statements made, and the public will have the satisfaction of hearing from those qualified to speak with authority what is in store for Portland as a result of the active movement by railroad surveyors and . constrnction gangs along the north uuiib. ot tuts vuiuiuuiH. Several carloads of grading equip ment, including scrapers, wagons and horses, were taken from cars at Van couver and carried by boat to various points along the north bank of the Columbia between Vaucouver and the Cascades. The boats of the Regulator line are aotive in the transportation of . these supplies, and this fact is taken as confirmation of the published state ment that the Noiihern Pacifio and Great Northern railroad people were the real purchasers of the Columbia Railroad & Navigation company lines bought some months ago by a Wil mington, Delaware, banker. The main trouble confronting the north bank undertaking is a scarcity of workmen. There is an enormous demand for laborers at this time in railroad construction and other work in tKa TorifiA NftiJiwflat If ia aft i A that every large - piece of work now under way by the Harriman lines is suffering for lack of men. The Portland & Seattle is bringing men from the sound, and the grading equipment is coming from the same quarter. There is a large amount of giant powder in the shipment of materials, and it is said much of the immediate construction work will be " in the removal of basaltic obstruc- larly at Cape Horn. ' It is estimated that the entire cost of construction of the rail line from Vancouver to Wal lula will be about $12,000,000. There are heavier obstacles to be "overcome on the north bank than. were found in construction of the O. R. & N. line on the opposite shore. It is said the line can be built in a little over a year's time. In all of the fights of the past 15 years between the Northern Pacific and the O. R. & N. there has not, it is said, been shown the same de termined and bitter spirit that is now in evidence. In former tussles for rights of way it was the custom of both companies to secure limited op tions at nominal cost on the lands they desired. In the present struggle the companies are buying large tracts of land outright, paying cash and se curing deeds. . BriitOWi Big BttK. W. W. Bristow, formeraly pri" cipal oi tne Atnena puouc scnooi.j who has recently been a life it, v ance agent has filed suit in the circuit court at Portland for $25,100 dam ages against the Oregon Water Power & Railway Co.

A woman's good health depends on those organ peculiarly femi nine, and which so often become disor dered, causing misery and dragging-down pain. Nature's laws are perfect, health endures If you obey them, but disease follows disobedience. The dintresslng complaints of women are often brought about by catching cold at a critical period, breathing foul Indoors' air and long hours of work and nervous tension. Go straight to Nature for the cure to the forest Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription Is Jiature'i cure for the dis tressing complaints of women. Prof. King, M.
