TWO LINES COMBINE
Cable and Washington-Street
Roads Consolidated.
CONTROL PASSES TO FORMER
Portland Hallway Company and
Portland Traction Company Unit
ed Under One Corporation.
The street railway lines of tho Portland
Traction Company. (the cable road) and
the Portland Railway Company (the
Washington-street lines and the Vancou
ver line) were yesterday combined under
the name of the Portland Railway Com
pany, the control passing into tho hands '
of the Portland Traction Company, of
whom the chief owners are D. O. Mills.
of New York; W. H. Crocker, of San
Francisco; Tho American Steel & Wire
Company, represented by Frank L
Brown, of San rranclsco; S. Prentiss
Smith, Percy T. Morgan and W. G. Hook
er, of San Francisco; the Sellgmans. of
New Tork, and J. C. Atnsworth, of Port
land. The new officers of the company
are: O. F. Paxton. president; W. H.
Crocker, vice-president: J. C Alnsworth.
treasurer; Frank L Brown, secretary; J.
F. Ratchelder, assistant secretary, and
F. I. Fuller, general manager. The di
rectors are: D. O. Mills. W. H. Crocker,
J. C Alnsworth. F. I. Tuller and O. F.
Paxton.
The consolidation of the properties was
effected by deeding the property of the
Portland Traction Company to the Port
land Hallway Company, a control of the
capital stock of which was acquired by
the owners of the Portland Traction Com
pany. The property of the consolidated
company consists of 30 miles of line, a
power-house, three car barns and a ferry
boat. The lire from First and Washing
ton street out Washington to Twenty
third, out Twenty-third to Thurman and
thence to Willamette Heights, with its
branches out Thirteenth and Sixteenth
streets; the line from First and Washing
ton across the Burnslde-strcet bridge, and
out Union avenue to Vancouver, and the
line from Sixth and Irving to Portland
Heights, via Fifth and Jefferson streets,
and with a branch out Jefferson to the
City Parle will all bo a part of the new
tystem. Of thesa all arc operated by
electricity, excepting the line from Chap
man and Jefferson streets to the terminus
on Portland Heights, which is still a cable
road. There Is a car barn at the end of
the Washington-street line, near the City
Park, another at Fifteenth and Washing
ton streets, and a third at Woodlawn.
The only poncr-house Is on Chapman
street at the foot of the cable incline,
which also contains a commodious car
barn. All tho power, even that which
operates the cable on the Portland
Heights Use, is now furnished from Ore
gon City.
The equipment of the lines Is new. and
the property is In excellent condition.
It is the intention to maintain the same
fino service that has characterized the
lines, and to make such Improvements
from time to time as are Justified by
business. Tho franchise out Fifth street
to Sheridan recently granted the Port
land Traction Company Is a part of the
property of the consolidated company,
and it is expected that a line will soon
be constructed over that route.
For tho past four years all the lines
have been paying properties. The con
solidation was effected without the Issue
of any new bonds.
Of the companies which aro now united
the Washington-street line, as It is called.
Is tho oldest. It was incorporated in 1SS2,
E. J. Jeffrey being president, W. A. Scog
gln secretary, and D. E. Budd superin
tendent. A line from First up Wash
ington to Eleventh (now Thirteenth) was
completed in 1SS3, and was extended af
terward up to what was then Burnslde.
and to the City Park, while a branch was
built out Eleventh and another out Fif
teenth (now Sixteenth). In 1SS3, George
B. Markle acquired a controlling Interest
In the property, and continued to be Its
president till it became, the Portland Con
solidated Street Railway Company. In
1SS9 the Washington-street line was elec
trified, and the following year tho Thir
teenth and Sixteenth-street lines were
also electrified, and an electric line was
built to Willamette Heights, out Twenty
third and Thurman streets.
In 1S22 the Portland Consolidated Street
Railway Company was organized and com
bined the Multnomah Street Railway Com
pany and the Portland & Vancouver Rail
way Company, which was organized and
built a line In 1SS3. with Frank Dekum
president and George H. Durham, eecre
tary. Tho line was then operated "by mo
tor, and extended to the Columbia River,
which was crossed by a ferry running to
Vancouver. Of this company Mr. Markle
became president. James Steel vice-president
and D. F. Sherman secretary. J. E.
Thiclscn, who had been superintendent
of the Washington-street lines, aa mode
general superintendent.
In December, 1894. owing to the flood
of that year, which had washed away a
large part of the Vancouver trestle and
Interrupted business for a number of
months, the line went into the hands of
O. F. Parton, as receiver. December 31.

be seriously felt.
SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
Half Holiday Ordered for Mar 4 to
Attend Humane Society Meeting-.
There was a full attendance at the
meeting of the School Board last night,
and every member was In his seat prompt
ly at 7:30, fpr Chairman Warren has es
tablished a a reputation for calling these
meetings to order on time. Owing to' the
Illness of his wife. School Clerk Allen was
absent, and John M. Lewis was asked to
act as clerk. On account of Mr. Allen's
absence, the numerous bills presented
were carried over until the next meet

city schools close at noon Friday, May 4.
to allow the pupils an opportunity to

UNFINISHED SYMPHONY.
Schnbert'a Beautiful Compoltlon
Analyzed by Georffe Upton.
Schufccrfa "Eighth Symphony" Is but
a fragment. The first two movements aro
complete. There aro nine bans of a
scherzo, and with them the symphony
stops, and yet among all of the compos
er's works not ono la moro beautiful In
Ideas or more perfect in form than this.
No more of It has ever been found, and
no one knows why Schubert should have
abandoned It.
The first page of the score Ifl dated
"Vienna, October 30, 1S2." For years
it remained unknown, and It is due to Sir
George Growo that it wao rescued from its
obscurity and given to the world for Its
constantly Increasing delight. The score
was published In 1S57, and the first per
formance was given at the Crystal Palace.
London, on the 6th of April In the same
year. Since that time tho symphony haa
become ono of the favorite numbers on
the concert stage.
The allegro opens at onco with an Im
presslvo subject, given out to 'cellos and
basses. At Its close, the oboes and clar
ionets take up a melodious theme plants
elmo, the violins accompanying It In an
agitated manner. After a short develop
ment of this theme, the 'cellos enter with
a melody which will never ceaaj to fas-
I clnate the hearer with Its wonderful
beauty and grace of motion. After Its rep
etition by the vlollna In octaves, ther
comes a pause, followed by a most pas
sionate declaration In the minor, as 11
to drown the memory of the former mo
ment of happiness. The beautiful theme
ngaln returns, however, and the first part
' of the movesent closes with a struggle
between thi expressions of perfect hap
piness and wild passion.
, The second part opens with the original
subject, varied for the basses, which Is
, grandly developed amid full orchestral out
bursts up to a powerful climax. As It
dies away, tho first theme re-enterfl. and
Is again treated with charming variety,
the whole closing with another climax. In
which the opening subject forms the ma
terial ot the coda.
Tho andante begins with an Introduc
tory pnssago for the horns and barpcono,
the double basses accompanying pizzicato,
leading up to another loveli" theme, given
out by the violins. After a striking de
, velopment of this theme, the second sub
ject I stated by the clarionets, with string
accompaniment, repeated by the obces,
with the addition of a new phrase, in
which the flute Joins. The whole orchestra
1 follows with stately harmony, succeeded
by an episode which leads up to a new
treatment of the second theme by the
strings. Then follows the customary rep
etition In brilliant detail. The coda Ij
full of melodious beauty, and closes this
delightful work. GEORGE UPTON.

BOTANIZING IN DEEP SNOW,
Forestry Expert Jonnaon Secured
Specimens Under DlfOoultiea.
A. J. Johnson, forestry expert, arrlvtd
hero yesterday from a short trip to South
ern Oregon. He has not roado any n
discoveries of Importance of late, but for
the past month has been traveling to all
sorts of out-of-the-way places, collecting
the roots of rare or curious plants, which
ho located and marked last Summer, but
which could not be removed at that time.
In this collecting tour ho has experienced
many hardships and difficulties In finding
tho plants ho was alter, as they were
mostly at altitudes of from 4000 to COCO
feet, and most of them were still burled
under the snow.
He first went to tho Wallowa country,
where last Summer he discovered a pure
white perennial sunflower entirely new
to botanists rare, beautiful and valuable
commercially on that account. Mr. John,
son collects tor nearly all the botanical
gardens all over the world, and has orders
for any kind of plant which Is rare and
beautiful and worthy of cultivation. When
he reached the place where he had dis
covered the plant, after traveling five
miles over frozen snow two feet In depth,
be found the spot he had marked, and
after shoveling away the snow he found
tho roots, and as the ground was not
frozen. Had but little trouble in securing
some 0 of the roots. As soon as these
were planted in his nursery, they started
to grow at once, and made as much
growth in three or four days as other
plants have in as many weeks.
There has been conslderab'ie said to the
effect that snow would He longer on tho
ground In open places than In the forests,
but Mr. Johnson says that this Is a mis.
take, as the experience ht had on his
trip fully proves. He traveled about 15
miles In an open, treeless country. an4
there was not a particle of snow to be seen
In that distance, but as soon as the forest
was reached In the same altitude, he
found the whole country completely cov
ered with old snow two to four feet deep.
From the northern part of the Wallowa
country he proceeded to the mountains In
tho southern part, where tho Wallowa
River has its sources. Here he collected
a lot of young forest trees yellow pine,
tamarack, mountain spruce, Virginia Juni
per, or lead pencil cedar, as it Is often
called, also white birch and hawthorn.
Ho also collected plants of the white and
yellow flowering currants, belonging to
tho same order as the red flowering cur.
rant, so plentiful around Portland. The
forest trees collected form part of a lot
of S000 young forest trees sent by the
United States Government to Goat Island.
San Francisco Bay, where they have been
planted as an experiment In the way of
reforesting the Island.
On returning from Eastern Oregon Mr.
Johnson made a trip to Gray's Harbor
and tho country along the foot of the
Olympic Range In order to familiarize him
self with the Spring flora of that region
which he had not before visited at that
time of year. He next proceeded to
Southern Oregon, to the foothills of tho
Slsklyous, and along tho Applegate. Illi
nois and Rogue Rivers, and Deer Creek.
On these streams principally ho collected
about 20.000 plants, roots and bulbs of vari
ous species erythronlura, of which he has
nine varieties, pitcher plants, castas,
callchortis. etc
About May 1 Mr. Johnson will leave for
the mountains of Eastern Oregon, to col
lect data for completing his report of the
forests of Oregon, for the Geologjcal Sur
vey. This report will be a voluminous
and comprehensive affair, containing a de.
ccrlptlon of every forested township in
Oregon, with many Illustrations.

NO MONEY FOR CITY PATHS
BlcycllaU Mnat Pay ThU Year'a Tax
to Secure Tbeiu.
The County Commissioners have been
called upon by a number of bicyclists who
are anxious to have bicycle paths built
along various streets In the city. They
say that If such paths aro desired, 'bi
cyclists must come to the front and pay
tho bicycle tax. Paths enough have been
constructed and are now under way In
the county to absorb all the bicycle funds
on hand, and, unless the bicycle tax Is
paid, there will be no money to build
paths In the city. When the paths now
In hand are completed, about 27 miles
of paths will have been built this Sprlnij.
and when the fund Is exhausted there will
be no more paths built.
Building bicycle paths In the city wlU
be much more expensive than bulldlm;
them In the country, as a block In tha
city will cost as much as a mile some
places In the country. It Is proposed that
a strip alonur the side of the street shall
be, granted for the path, and this will In
volve moving the curb and then tilling
In behind It to make the path. The right
to occupy a portion of the street will hae
to be obtained from the Council, and
probably property-owners Interested will
have a right to protest.
Whllo there Is no end to the demand for
more bicycle paths, there sems to be but
little Inclination on tho part ot blcjcllsts
to nav the tax required to defray the ex
pense of building such paths. The situa
tion now Is, no money, no more paths;
or. In other words, the bicyclists must-put;
up or shut up.
1 HI
The Front-Street Franchise,
PORTLAND, April 23. (To the Editor.)
Permit a few of the residents, Ihlng in
the 60uth end of Portland, to offer their
cordial thanks through your worthy col
umns to some of the property-owners on
Front street and the honorable members
of the City Council for their great wisdom
showed In their act of defeating the peti
tion asking for the franchise for a track
down Front street. The benefits of mich
action aro already apparent. Smith's
mill hafl shut down, and the plant Is for
sale, and other enterprises no doubt will
follow the same course. We can now, as
before, haul our stuff to and from the ter
minal grounda by truck or wheelbarrow,
thereby greatly Improving the streets ot
the city and the macadam road In partic
ular. There will also be more empty
houses and cheaper house rent for our
end hereafter (a blessing In very deep dis
guise). As to new enterprises, we will
no doubt have plenty of them. Then,
again, when we look at the liberality ot
the Front-etreet sages, in permitting us
to uce any other street to build a track
on for an outlet, we could almost hug
them, for they have certainly gone ahead
with a good example. Yes, Mr. Editor,
men that are so heavily Interested In man
ufacturing and that have taken such large
blocks of stock In that smelter, dry dock
and woolen mill surely ought to know
what Is good for the South End, and
their advice taken. No. Mr. Editor, we
neer did believe In the doctrine of some
thing for nothing. When we gave and are
rtlll giving our mite towards the building
and sialntainlng tho four bridges across
tho river, three of them Immediately ben-
