SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. I. Presi
dent; Tuft nnd the exposition mannne

marks last night over the refusui of
the latter to publish the route of
today's march. It was hinted that
the fair management wanU'd to com
pel people to pay admission to the
fair grounds to see the President.
Taft refused to stand for Buch a sel
fish scheme and ordered his secretary
to see that the newspapers received
the line of march in time for publi
cation regardless of cost. During
the parade the President was given
an enthusiastic greeting. This after
noon he played golf.

At North Yakima yesterday, tlu
excitement of seeing President Taft
and of shaking hands with him war
too much for Muriel Vose, the 0-year-old
child, who has been in frail
health. She died last evening aftei
the President had departed.
The little girl Insisted on seeing
the President, and when he" consen
ted to shake hands she was greatly
agitated, fearing she would not he
given the opportunity. After she
had shaken his hand the relaxation
came and she gradually sank, finnlly
passing away. Heart failure, super
Induced by the excitement, was the

Spokane Presents Kicks.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 1. TIiIf
ct'fy today continued to present evi
dence before Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty in an effort to
show that the cities of eastern Wash
ington are discriminated against in
favor of coast points by he railroads.
It was represented that there were in
stances where merchants found It
cheaper on eastern bought goods to
have It shipped direct to the coau
and then pay the freight back this
far than to ship direct to Spokane
under the Spokane rate.
Water the Cause.
Figures presented b'y he railroads
showed that at both Seattle and
Portland the movement by wrter
was greater than by rail.
In every case where it was shown
that Portland had a lower rate than
Spokane, it was directly traceable to
a water competition or to some other
equally potent influence.
The unfortunate predicament of
Spokane In precipitating this row
was again disclosed this afternoon
when commissioner Prouty, in com
menting on some of the new rates
proposed by the railroads, stated he
thought, the reductions made must
Impress everyone as being very ma
terial. Attorney Stephens retorted
by saying that if the rates were
placed In effect they would complete
ly destroy Spokane's jobbing trade.
Considering that Sitokane has been
repeatedly warned for the past three
years that is exactly what would hap
pen, there is hardly occasion for sur
prise. PROGRAM AT J

Latest IMau of Coos liny Kuilroad
Promoters Announced,
Marshfleld Mall: The railroad
meeting held last niiiht In the Cham
ber of Commerce room was attended
by mo&i of the stockholders of the
Coos Bay, Boise uud Idaho Kallroad
Company, and those who could not
be present were represented by prox
ies. It has been the general under
standing for Beveral weeks that the
surveying on ibis line was to be
dropped unless some other capital
could he interested in the work, for
he local people had been drained
for all they could afford to con-
ribute. Emissaries who went to
Uoseburg recently and obtained the
promises from people iu that city to
help out in the matter, made favor-1
able reports here, but the Roseburg
end of the deal did not develop and
the people over there plighted their
troth with the electric people, leav
ing the Haines road to shift for it
self. . .
The situation, 'then, stands now In
such shape that the two roads are
promised, and with this menacing
nut look It is very probable that the
L.ovett people will have a very sud
den awakening and order the Drain
ine built next year, if they do not
Hart construction earlier.
Coos Bay is likely, therefore, to
have three railroads within two
vears tapping her for business nnd
ready to haul her products. Rose
burg, when she teams the action of
last night's meeting of the railroad
people, will have some regrets to ex
press for not staying with their de
clared intentions toward the Haines
oad. for since there is to be no aid
from there, the road will probably
ross the Southern Pacitlc where
there is some interest in Its success.
A few weeks since when it wa
seen that the fund for finishing the
Haines survey was likely to he de-
eted and the work already accom
plished go for nothing, Engineei
iliimes suggested to Francis H.
Clark that he make a trip east and
ubmit the items of his survey over
ihe summit to parties who were in
strumental In sending both Clark
uid Haines into this country. Thi
mggestion was followed out by Mr.
Clark and upon his return to Coos
llay he prepared to submit a proposal
to the railroad company that the
work be taken over in Haines' name
md put through to completion with
out any further expense to 'the peo
ple of Coos May. It transpired last
.light at the meeting that Mr.
Haines already held a six months'
iption on the survey after Its com
pletion, though this had been denied
in different occasions by the oilicials
of the company. But the option was
of no value to Mr. Haines, except the
urvey was finished.
The provisions of the new con-
'racts signed over by Mr. Haines to
his new backers are in effect the
;ame as those of the option that the
ompany had given to Haines at the
opening of Hie survey. This provides
that every man who holds stock cer
tificates in the company will be re
paid together with six per cent In-
that the survey will be com
pleted no-i later man tne nisi iiny or
M;iy. !! 10; Unit construction tl u.
road will be commenced immediately
niter tue hrst of next May and fin.sh
pd within two yearr; all of which If
the best news heard on Coos Bay In
an age.
The identity of the people who are
interested with Mr. Haines is not
divulged, yet the impression is al
lowed to prevail that they are east
ern capitalists. However, this Is im
material, for (he important fact that
the survey is to be finished is the
great point in the present situation.
It may he that tne men who are put
ting up (he money for completing
the survey are Portland men who
have been interested in the matter
because of its possibilities with
future hope of turning the survev to
advantage when H Is ready for the
builder. There are likely good and
sufficient reasons for the conceal
ment ot these parties' names, for
there are so many hooks and crooks
in railroad promotion that actual in
terest prefers to remain under cover
as long as possible.
The meeting last nigh' was called
to order by President William Grimes
who became president through the
resignation of President Hennessey
some weeks ago. Mr. Grimes stated
the reasons for the meeting to be
opportunity for clearing up any mis
understandings; to submit reports of
what had been accomplished: to hear
the proposition from Mr. Clark, who
would offer to take over and com
plete the survey in company with
Mr. Haines and their backers. The
president had the details of the com
pany 6 business at hand, and it
showed that IfiL'uO had been sub
scribed. $.n2:i.0 of which had been
paid. Vouchers were on the table
showing for what the money had
been expended. The certificates
were delivered last night to those who
had subscribed, and interer on th
subscriptions was to dale from thr
l.'th of September. The cash on
hand was fbown to be $?."; lax
pnyments still due, $250.0". Mr.
Orinu'S states that this subscription
was Hie lcpt paid up list he had ever
known. H fol!owpd with an ex
planation of the efforts to Intprpst
Roseburg peoplp and rod'", by Hay
ing he belii'Vfd th're could be no
aid expected from that sourv. it
I was then that ho outlined the pro
j posal of Messrs Clark and Hntn.
Aftpr the proposal was explained
i time was given for statmpnt from
stockholders as to what attitude thy
would assume toward the offer. Dr.
McCormao was first called upon by
the oresideut and he made a vigor-
ous speech endorsing the new offer
and ended by moving that 'the stock'
holders approve It. But before the
motion could be seconded the presi
dent iuterferred and said that it was
UiB intention to hear from all who
wished to speak and actiou was post
poned until others could be heard.
1. S. Kaufman followed him and
mu do It plain that he favored the
now offer.
Henry Sengstacken was heartily in
favor.
Carl Johnson, a liberal subscriber,
said he wanted to see the survey go
to completion and said be would
vote that way.
H. C. DIers, representing the
North Bend people, said that all the
subscribers and the Chamber of Com
merce endorsed it.
. S. Smith was favorable and be
lieved that the present plan is more
desirable than that which would have
taken Roseburg in as partner and
distributed the power between the
two points.
O. O. Lund spoke In favor of the
proposal. Francis H. Clark followed
with a short talk. He said he be
lieved the possibilities of Coos Bay
are large enough for more than one
railroad and If there were not we
should not get one road. He stated
that he represented F. A. Haines and
outside men who are backing Haines.
That when Haines came here he did
not have an idea that the road was
to be built would stop at Roseburg,
Boise, and there had been no
change In his opinion. He said that
he men who are taking up the sur
vey were not ready to -undertake any
railroad building unless a grade of
very near one per cent could be ob
tained, and since Mr. Haines declares
he has a grade of that nature, ho is
certain that the building of the road
will go ahead early next year. He
stated that when he was on "the out
side he took with him Mr. Haines'
proof of having obtained a one per
cent grade over the summit, and
this convinced the people who are be
hind them of the feasibility of the
road. These people were pleased
with Haines findings.
At the close of his remarks, the
vote was taken by a resolution which
included the contract which Haines
holds, and every stockholder voted
for .'he resolution. Some official mat
ters were brought forward. It de
veloped that there are but three cli
toris now acting, William Grimes,
L. Grny nnd L. F. Falkenstein.
Provision had to be made for more
iirectors, and their selection was left
Messrs. Clark and Grimes, wllh
tbe understanding that Mr. Clark
should be one of the new men, by
rear-en of such request coming from
his backers.
The papers, upon their execution,
re to be placed in escrow, together
with the majority of stock which
was turned over to the holding com
pany under the old directorate, sub
ject to release upon completion of
the Haines interests' contract.
As a finale to the meeting a reso
lution was offered by I. S. Smith
endorsing the old officers and pre
vious work, the new movement, and
with a statement that every man In
terested would stand by the new peo
ple until the road is built. This was
passed unanimously
During the meeting, the matter of
officials wns brought out by Chair
man Grimes, who told of the plnn to
vacate when negotiations were In ef
fect with the Roseburg people who
wanted to have a share of the direc
tors. The president had resigned
md nil others stood readv to resign
at that time, but three remained ac
tive directors. Grimes, Gray and Fal
kenstein. Mr. Grimes said that he
had succeeded to the presidency by
being vice president upon Hennes
sey's resignation, but that all the old
directors were readv to sten out nnd
lei new men ne elected if the stock
holders so desired. Nobody sueges
ted 'that there was such a desire, and
so no action was taken on that score.
Mr. Clark, who was Interviewed
with respect to some further infer
mation on the road, was non-commit
tal and talked as usual about every-
unng except what the reporter
wanted to learn. However, he did
say that the money for putting the
survey through Is available today,
and that more can be learned about
the engineer's Intentions after Mr.
Haines has made a visit to Marsh-
field. Mr. Clark was also willing to
go on record as saying that the Coos
nay, Boise and Idaho Railroad Is
the only projected railroad that Is
not a Hill or a HnrHmaii rn'lrond
When questioned as to what road It
is, he said it Is ro far simply a pri
vate road, but will be built with
