Nothing Can Stop so Called II111 Force
In Deschutes.
PORTLAND, July 29. 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.

The matter of rates to the Seattle

a treat to any from here who plan go

commercial club circles. Agent
Keeney has written to the "higher-
ups" for additional instruction re
garding this matter. Under the pres
ent arrangement the Joint trip cannot

To Try Missionaries.
WASHINGTON, July 29. 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.
