Ins: oa tie Gate-ray Question.
tbout JSfoO per month, or J36.000 per
y,ear, is now spent In Portland by rail
roads that would be almost entirely shut
out of this field -by closing: the Ogden
gateway, it is undeniable that public
sentiment is In faverof keeping that sate
open, because of the additional competi
tion for traffic and the choice of routes
It gives; and the Utah-Colorado lines
have made many friends in the North
west while they have been operating In
this field. Closure of that gate would
be .unpopular, also, because it would be
regarded' as a -step in the direction of
putting all the lines of the Union Paclflo
system under one management, and the
experience of this country with a Union
Pacific system administered from Omaha
has been very unsatisfactory.
If the Ogden gate should close, the Spo
kane gate would scarcely remain open.
If the Union Pacific should insist on the
long haul of everything from the Missouri
Biver region accessible to Ogden, It would
scarcely permit the Great Northern to de
liver at Spokane traffic' from the same
region bound for the same destination;
for the Great Northern has lines of Its
own away down to Sioux City, la., and
OfNelll, Neb. And as to traffic from the
far East, it would be more objectlonab
toa the Union Pacific to get it at Spokane
than at Ogden, because Ks haul to Port
land would be so much shorter, and the
long haul is what it is afer. It is not
deemed practicable for the Union Pacific
to ojose -Ogden without also closing Spo
kanV Then, the "question arises, would
Mr. !HI11 bsild a line from Puget Sound
to Portland? The Great Northern's busi
ness in Portland is too large to be given
up without a struggle. Its express busi
ness Is well established on the O. K.
& N. lines in "Washington and in Port
land. -
Closure of Spokane and Ogden would
leave "Portland' with but two practicable :
routes fo the East the Union. Pacific and
the Northern Paciflc The Southern Pa
cific would ala be available for Atlantic
eeaboard business and for certain interior
points. But many of the lines now in
this field competing for traffic would be
placed at such disadvantage that they
would have to withdraw. Decrease or
competition would Increase the power of
the through lines, and the shipping world
on general principles does not relish such
(a -situation.
It Is possible that the Interior roads
have foreseen the Harrlman-Vanderbllt
echeme to control the Southern Pacific
end Union Paciflc, and that tho projected
efcort line between Salt Lake City and
ILos Angeles Is .the result of their effort
for eelf-protectlon. They are not con
tent to become purely local railroads.
The "Rio Grande lines particularly have
been handling a large volume of through
business, and they will not He suplriely
on their backs and let Mr. Harrlman or
any other railroad magnate cut their
throats. They are financially strong and
eblo to help themselves out of diffi
culty. One thing that gives color to this thepry
Is the fact that the new line projected
parallels for U0 miles the Oregon Short
Line's branch from Salt Lake City to
Nevada- through a country that yields
little local business. An Independent line
between Salt Lake and Los Angeles would
reader this Short Line branoh practi
cally worthless to quote a recent ex
pression of a Short Line offiolal: "It
Wouldn't be worth 60 cents a mile." It Is
admitted on all sides that a heavy
threugh business would take that route
and. with the right affiliations. It would
Hot only afford relief to-the Utah-Colorado
lines by giving them an outlet to the
Coast, but would make, them brisk com
petitors of the transcontinental. Here,
again, is a factor that enters Into the
Gateway question.'
While there has been no official ex
pression of opinion relative to the Ogden
gateway, it Is well enough known that
fche O. R. & N. and the Oregon Short
Line faver maintaining Its present status,
and the Union Pacific wants to close the
gate. A decision Is looked for within 30
Hays, but it may not come till the first
of the year. Indeed, if the decision bo
to keep present alignments and affllia
tloas mdletuebed, nothing official may
be heard of the matter at all.
SURPRISES SAX FRAXCISCO PEOPLE
Harrlman Not Credited "With. Control
of the Pacific Mall.
A San Francisco dispatch to the New
TorkvTylbune discusses the news that
33. H. Harrlman had secured control of
the Pacific 'Mai! as follows:
"The news of a big deal in Paciflc Mail
securities whereby a syndicate, headed
by B. H. Harrlman and W. K. Vand?r
bilt, Is credited with having secured con
trol of the steamship company, was re
ceived In loeal railroad circles with a
considerable degree of surprise. People
"who have watched the heavy dealings In
Pacific Mail stock in New Tork recently
Stave been, anxiously awaiting some an
nounceraent in explanation of it all, but
the intelligence that tho control of the
company bus passed from the Hunting
ton, Interests to the VanderbHts came un
cxpeateaty, and. is not accepted by well
Informed railroad men as being entirely
correct.
"The announcement from Cew ' York
that the Pacific Malt is to become a. link
In the through transportation svstcra
from New Yortc to the Orient, controlled
outright by the Vanderbilt interests, and
will cease to be an exclusive ocean con
nection of the Southern Pacific, is re
frained as a piece of 'nonsensical guess
work. If the Harriman-Yanderbllt rj n
dtcaie has secured control of the com
pany, to accept the oracular views of well
Infarmed railroad officials, the only effect
of -the -deal will be to seoure for the'
VanderTbk line east of Ogden, a profitable
Astatic traffic, -which is now shared" to a
greater or less extent by all transcon
tinental and Eastern lines. So far as
surface indications go. It Is paid, the Pa
cific 2fall will continue in the uninter
rupted .tenor of its , .wjy .as thp pcan
connection of tho Southern Pacific,
though possibly with some changes of
management.
"It Js necessarily so from the very na
ture of the traffic whloh It handles, and
for the- further Important reason that
4he .traffic which it brings Into this port
must to a, large extent-go East by way
of "Ogdon. A prominent traffic officials
explained, the Southern Pacific has xuver
in the past enjoyed the advantage of a
long haul on Asiatic freight by its Sun
set Gulf line, for the reason that fa
and silk shipments, which form the great
bulk of the business coming here from
tha Orient, are of such value as to re
quire rApid transportation to the Est
by tho shortest route on an expedited
tralQ "schedule.
"E&tae not come to the knowledge of
any one that the Vanderbilt Interests
control a rail line out of San Francisco
end there is no hint that the Pacific Mail
will abandon San Francisco for a North
ern port, so that tho pretty picture of the
through" ."VanderblU system of transpor
tation from New York to. Asia, as po""
tr$ed n New York dispatches, becomes
to yje 'analytical eye of traffic men. more
of fable than of fact"
Tbjawas written before the news ap
peared that, the Harrlman-Vanderbllt In
terests had obtainedScontrol of theSouth
jaca 3?acWo. If lnislatter-reporf'shill
turn out to'betruethe PaciflcrMall deal
will assume (additionaL, significance.
It Is well known that the Union Pacific
has long Cbeen, dissatisfied with its Ban
Francisco connection at. Ogden the Cen
tral Pacific Before the Government's
lien on the Central Pacific was cleaned
4 up that line was neglected. San Fran
cisco business has always been important
and the Union Paciflc wanted to handle
more of It. Improve its service as it
might it was forced to take the Central
Pacific corduroy from Ogden or pass its
business through Portland and down the,
coast by steamships. This was not satisi
factory. Some Improvement has been
made In the Central Paciflc since the
Government lien was extinguished, but
the Union Paciflc people have all the
time felt that the Southern Paciflc was
not much in sympathy with that short
line, because keeping service that way
poor tended to turn more business over
the Sunset route, thereby giving it the
long haul.
If Harrlman and the Vanderbllts have
control of both the Southern, Paciflc and
Paciflc Mali there is sure to be a great

improvement in uie rouie irom ona x uu- ,
Cisco to the Bast via Ogden. How the
rest of the Southern Pacific system wlir
fare remains to be seen. But neither
Harrlman nor the Vanderbllts are wreck
ers and they may be trusted to make
such adjustment of business that all
their lines may be used to the best advan
tage. Their effort? will not be hampered
by a circumscribed field of limited op
portunities where transportation lines
must eat up each other. They have en
tered a field of almost, unlimited possi
bilities and what the outcome will be
cannot even be guessed at.
FIGHT OVER "UNION PACIFIC.
The Vanderbilt and the Gould Inter
est Strntsgllne tor Control.
The Chicago Record prints the follow
ing concerning the grant struggle for the
control of the Union Paciflc system,
which carries with it the Oregon Short
Line and the O. R. & Ni
"That something radical and decisive
soon will result from the long-drawn-out
struggle between the so-called Gould and
Vanderbilt interests to secure a sure and
lasting, control of the Unjon Pacific prop
erty, railroad officials and financiers are
reasonably certain. While the Vander
bllts at present direct the affairs of the
Union Paciflc the Goulds are pushing
them so vigorously and unrelentingly that
the securit yof their control Is not re
garded as the essence of all that Is strong,
and unwavering. The fight for the con
trol of the Western system is looked
upon as the greatest struggle the railway
arena ever has been the scene of, and
the outcome of it is to have a great ef
fect upon one of two Chicago railroads,
the Northwestern, or the Illinois. Central.
"If tho Vanderbllts maintain their
present control the Union Pacific-Northwestern
alliance will continue in, effect,
but if the Goulds come out on top the
Northwestern ""will lose its. present con
nection west of Omaha, and the-Illlnols
Central will tie up with the Union "Pa
ciflc In a traffic relationship. The direc
tors of the Illinois Central are said to be
considering the advisability of extending
their line Westward from Omaha to the
Rocky Mountains in case the Vanderbllts
come out of the present fight as victors.
That they desire a route to the Paciflc
Coast Is not questioned.
"There is a difference of opinion, among
railroad officials as to where the sure
and permanent control of the Union 'Pa
ciflc will eventually be found. Some offi
cials ro not believe that anything short
of a miracle can wrest control from the
hands of the Vanderbllts, but there are
others who are of the belief that the
strategy and shrewdness of tho descend
ants and followers of Jay Gould In time
will triumph."
Election of Charles 91. Hays.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2. The directors of
the Southern Pacific met here today and
elocted Charles M. Hays president of the
company. No other business was trans
acted.' FOR SALARY AS A SUBJECT
Hypnotist Lee Sued by a Man Who
Hid the "Sleep Act."
Joseph & Schlagel, as attorneys for
Frank A. Johnson, have prepared and
sent to Seatle to be filed in the court at
that place a complaint against John Doe
Levi, alias Lee the hypnotist, in whlcn
the plaintiff asks to recover 535 wages
alleged due for performing as a subject
for the defendant.
Johnson sets up for cause of suit that
the defendant for more than one year
past has been a wandering showman, pre
tending to have the pov er of causing the
supervention of sleep over the suscepti
ble, confounding human action, judgment
and understanding by mystifying the sub
jects of his attacks, and generally to sus
pend the law of gravity and reverse the
ordinary course of natural events; that
the plaintiff does not know the full name
of John Doe Levi, or If the defendant has
him asleep at the present time; but that
after repeated crucial tests of his pos
sessing the five senses, honestly believes
that he is yet subject to the will of Our
Heavenly -Fatheri and free from the influ
ence of the enchanting defendant, Lee the
hypnotist.
While he was enjoying the sunny clime
of Bakersfleld, in the flowery month of
June. In the year of Our Lord 1900. John-
I son says the soporific defendant employed
tho susceptible plain nit to perform cer
tain work and labor, among other things
the following: The plaintiff was to be,
come or pretend to become affected by
the phenomenal narcotic powers of Lee
the hypnotist, otherwise John Doe Levi,
and to remain or pretend to remain under
suoh influence for the continuous period
of 48 hours, and while In said pretended
somnolent condition to endure Hhe-mental
Jibes and material Jabs of the disbeliev
ing and overcurious public minority with
out being visibly affected thereby, and
particularly to overlook, pardon and not
ostensibly notice the Insertion into any
or all parts of his body of hatpins, com
mon -pins, needles and other Instruments
of torture which might be employed by
I the incredulous minority of the public
In attempting to ascertain thetrue phys
ical condition of the plaintiff, which cir
cumstances, as here set forth, Is styled
by the defendant and other persons of
his profession as the "sleep act."
Johnson "alleges further that ho also
promised and agreed in case he was re
quested to do so by the defendant, to ap
pear upon any stage, public or private,
and pretend to be controlled, confounded,
mystified and directed, and to place his
f hands together and be unable to separate
them until deportation by the hypnotist
caused the breaking of tho spell, and
also to perform any and all acts required
of him, while In this 'possum state which
would not endanger his life. He was also,
he avers, required to proceed In advance
of the defendant to towns and cities and
prepare for the show by locating and ob
taining ready subjects known to the pro
fession as outside subjects, which sub
jects were to join the army of volunteers
when these were Invited to come forward
at any exhibition.
Continuing, Johnson alleges that he
j promised and agreed to permit Mr. Lee
J to break rocks on his belly, but only In
a certain manner known to defendant
and -the brother fakers traveling with
him.'
In consideration of these services tho
plaintiff assorts that he was to be paid
$16 per week and all expenses, and on one
occasion a hatpin was run through his
wrist by an Incredulous damsel. He
states that he did all things necessary
under his contract, and appeared at-the
Marquam Grand Theater during the Port
land engagement, and that there' is a
balance due, to, him of J35, which the ae-
i f endast has neglected and refused to pay,
lor which He asks Judgment and for
costs.

. ivivs ouii

A husky lot of voune athletes thev wer
. ' -
juH of enthusiasm and eager to try con
elusions "with the Multnomah, team. The
team came on a. special car, which they
left at tho East'Qde stop, and came di
rectly to the Hotel Portland? In the
party were the football players, contest
ants and substitutes, and Coach Kaars-
berg. Trainer Trine, Manager Goodrich,
Ailinf r-nof. -boaa t- L ,
Charles A. Burden, and 35 lusty young
rooters.
Tooters.
The team is in An condition for tho
game. Every man feels that he can make
tho fight of his life, and in team work
and organization the men are tha best
trained eleven that Eugene has sent to
Portland for some years. It is generally
conceded to equal if not surpass last
year's crack team, that played Multno
mah a tie game. The players are confi
dent in their ability to play good football,
and, while not overconfident, maintain
that they have an even chance against
Multnomah, whom they concede has the
strongest eleven In its history. Very few
bots have been made on the contest, and
the college boys are not plunging on the
contest.
Coach Kaarsberg, speaking of his team
and the chances, said last evening: "The
men are all in fair condition. If they play
the game they are capable of, play for
all that -Is in them, they stand an even
chance of winning. Too much has been
made of the Salem encounter. The game
waa close, and Eugene made a fine show
ing. We are willing to play them again,
but the game has not yet been arranged,
as our schedule is filled up to Thanks
giving by a heavy series of games. The
eleven will leave next Wednesday for
California, where wo will play Stanford,
Nevada, and the University of California."
All the members of the Eugene team
have had considerable football experience.
Captain Zelgler has been on the Oregon
elevents of '&7 '9S and '99. He Is one of
the cleverest men on the team. -Wagner
was center in the 'S9 game. Smith, left
halfback, was football captain In '98 and
'99, and has been on tho eleven since
'96. He Is the most valuable man on the
team, and weighs182 pounds. Jakway, at
left tackle. Is another prominent player,
having been on tho team for two years.
Fullback Payne played right halfback
last season, and has been shifted to his
present position because of his fine punt
ing ability.
Tho now men are as follows: Watts, '03,
at guard, Is an aggressive player, coming
from the UnUersity of Southern Califor
nia. Thurston, '04, tackle, Is an acquisi
tion from the Corvallis Agricultural Col
lege, where he played tackle In '98 ana
'S9. Bush, ,'04, at end, played fullback
on the Ashlandi High School team pf '93
and '99. Goodrich, '04, played halfback on
tho Corvallis eleven of '93 and '89, and
was the captain-elect of the team the
regents nipped In the bud. He is fast In
the open field and a valuable running
mate for Smith. Scott, '03, the new
quarter-back, played end on the CorvaMs
team in '97, and quarter-back last sea
son. He showed strong in defensive work
In the Salem-Eugene game. The sub
stitutes are all men of considerable abil
ity, and some -will make the team before
the season is over.
The Multnomah players are confident.
The team has been greatly strengthened
by putting McKlnnon back at his old
place at guard, and the all-around player,
McMillan, at end. This -will tend to stop
the Eugene's end rushes, and place an
effective man at the end In interference.
The only new men on the team are Har
mer, center, who played on tho '93 team;

County Judge W. W. Travilllon, ot

Is engaged In placer mining on tho north
fork ot Burnt River, and is now prepar
ing to close down, for the season. He
exhibited some- goodly-sized nuggets,
"which show that' both coarse and fine gold
can be had, Just for the digging, in
that portion of the Bluo Mountains.
"A great deal of gold can be found
high up toward the summits, in Baker
County," tho Judge said, "but the de
posits can only bo worked -while the snow
is melting, or during periods of heavy
rainfall, as the land lies too high to bo
put under a mining- ditch. The ledges
from -which these placer deposits emanate
have proven very rich wherever found,
and tho heavy quartz mines of Baker
County ox the result.
"Eastern Oregon placer miners usually
begin operations about the time Southern
Oregon sluices and hydraulics are closing
down. We can mine all Summer, while
they are stopped from lack of water, but

when the rains of Southern Oregon begin
to fill tho creeks and enable the rockers

IS IT DOUBLE TAXATION?
VEHICLE TAX COXES UFt FOR. OWE
MORE POXKT.
When Lltlxatlon Reaches Svpreato
Conrt, Every Phase ot tae Ques
tion Will Be Covered.
Tho question -whether delivery wagons
are necessary to the management and
transaction of their business, was sub
mitted in Judge Cleland's court yester
day in the ruit of William Gadsby and
numerous other merchants, plaintiffs In
the vehicle tax suit against the City ot
Portland. The court has already decided
that the Common Council has no power
under the city charter to pass such an
ordinance, and nothing introduced yester
day affects the main question heretofore
determined.
In the original complaint it was al
leged in behalf of Dlalntlffs that a de
livery wagon was an instrumallty of a 1
arm's business, and that the vehicle li
cense, together with the occupation li
cense, was double taxation, as one li
cense should cover all. There was no al
legation in tho complaint of the payment
of the occupation tax or license, and
Judge Cleland therefore did not pass upon
this part of the case. The complaint was
subsequently amended, and the averment
Inserted that the occupation tax has been
palu, and, having paid the occupation tax,
plaintiffs ought not to bo required to pay
the vehicle tax.
This is the point Judge Cleland has to
render a decision upon, and he took the
case under advisement at the conclusion
of the hearing. As an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme Court, plaintiffs' at
torney, W. D. Fenton, and City Attorney
Long1' both desire to take up for the con
sideration of the higher tribunal every
Issue involved in the suit.
H. C. Wortman, of Olds & King; Frank
C Sealy, of Sealy, Mason & Co., and H.
C Breeden all testified that delivery
wagons are absolutely necessary In their
business, and that it would not be sat
isfactory to them to let the work out by
contract or to have goods delivered by
parcel deliveries. They said their wagons
were as much a part of their business
as their shelves or safes.
City Auditor T. C Devlin, for the de
fense, testified concerning estimates that

Editor.) Has not The Oregonlan held in
the discussion of the money question that
money Is not a comnvddlty, and, unlike
commodities, it is not necessarily made
more accessible by reason of a large
amount coined over that which is required

DECEIVED HUSBAND
Bnt He Seems to Ulce It.
"We used to buy our coffee from an
agent of a coffee-house In , who came
onco a month to take our order. When
wo would run out, we bought packago cof
fee from a local grocer, and 'hubby
would always raise more or less of a row
until the coffee he was used to came along.
"One time I concluded to serve some
Postum Food Coffee, without his knowing
It. Hubby remarked that he was gla4 to
know the regular coffee man had got
along, and he was very much pleased. He
had not the slightest Idea It was Postum,
and I let this run along for about two
months, serving him with Postum every
day. A lady guest at our table remarked
that she would like to know how I made
coffee, as hers always had a bitter taste.
I thought it was a good time to tell the
truth, and remarked that I always took
four heaping teospoonsful of Postum
Food Coffee . What?' yelled hubby,
What's that!' Yes, I take four heaping
teaspoons of Postum to the pint of water
(Hubby was still staring.) "Let it stand
on the stove until it really bolls, and then
allow the actual boiling to continue there
after for 15 minutes.' You can Imagine
how he stared Finally he remarked:
Well, if the coffee I hive been drinking
for two months is Postum Food Coffee,
that Is the only kind we will have in the
house hereafter.'
"I was brought to try Postum, for I had
so much trouble with my heart for four
or five years, with fainting spells, and so
many times a day was compelled to sit
down to keep from falling, could not go
up and down cellar on account of dizzi
ness, and a sick feeling at my stomach,
could not eat anything greasy.
"After a thoroughx examination by the
doctor, I was told that I had catarrh of
the stomach In the- worst form, and he
forbid the use of either tea or coffee, so I
started In on Postum, leaving off the old
coffee entirely, as well es tea. I lmroe
diately began to get better, and now my
trouble Is entirely gone, and I am well in
every respect and able to eat anything I
want without distress. "I proved to mr
I own j
I of nr
own satisfaction that coffee 'wasrthe cause
of my trouble." Mrs. F. fauxtvsters-
