The rise and fall of the tariff sched ules doesn't interest the men of this country half as much as the rise and fall of their favorite team in the base ball standing. .

In railroad circles today the battle between Hill and Harriman interest for the Des chutes river line is the beglning of an advancement of Hill lines toward San Francisco. It is reported Hill plans to extend the line down the coast wher he could possibly form a con nection with Gould's new Western Pa cific at San-Francisco, opening up a titanic struggle to dislodge Harriman from his present control of the coast business and also shBke the grip on the transcontinental traffic through the central states. John D. Porter, whose building of a railroad Is supposedly for J. J; Hill in the Deschutes canyon, said today: "Our firm is going to build a real railroad into central Oregon,. We are moving large forces of men for that purpose. Our rights are secured and we are not afraid of Harriman." He declined to discuss his backers though he said he does not represent Hill. The Porters are. planning to get the northern division completed 30 it can be used in transporting sup plies and materials for further work. RATES ARE Rill JOINT TRIP MAY 0T BE POS- SIBLE AFTER ALL.

According to advices received here, the trial of the Rev. Dr. W. M. Morrison and the . Rev. W. B. Sheppard, American mis- i slonarlen in the Congo region of Af- j ilea, will begin at Leopoldville today, j The charge against the missionaries is alleged "calumnious denunciation" j of the officers of the Kasai company, i a Congo trading concern. j Appeals have been made by relig- j iuos bodies to President Taft and the j state department to stop the trial. The j treatment of the accused missionaries Is characterized as "persecution." It Is unlikely that any steps will be taken by the government at the pres ent time.
