THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1901.
SHORT CUT TO PORTUND
ItOUTE OF WASHINGTON & OREGON
ACROSS THE PENINSULA.
Fill on Columbia Bottom Would
Take All the Earth From Deep
. Cut TurongH the Hidjre.
Two or three preliminary lines are rc
portejitq Have -been run by the engineers
of the" Washington & Oregon Hallway
Company between the bridge landing on
the south bank of the Columbia P.lver, op
posite Vancouver and" Portland. The line
that' is said- to-be most In favor Is almost,
straight. In order to make the grade
across the peninsula tolerable. It is un
derstood the plan Is to make a deep cut
at the backbone in University 3?axk, and
with the earth romoved from the cut make
a All across the Columbia bottom. The
fill would require about as much earth
as -would be taken from the cut, and an
unexceptionable grade could thus be es
tablished for the road to the Alblna wa
ter front. Where the road will go from
there la yet a mystery. If the desire
be only to get to the Albina wheat
warehouses, the object would be accom
plished there, but It Is hardly conceiva
ble that such u railroad would be willing
to keep out of the terminal yard and Un
ion Station on this side of the river. fThe
only way to get across the stream Is to
use the bridge of the O. R. & N. Co.. or
build a new bridge.
As Indicative of the volume of business
that comc? from the Northern Pacific ter
ritory to Portland by way of Puget Sound,
It may be stated that considerably more
than 500,000 bushels of wheat have been
brought by that route this season, though
In the early part of the season the busi
ness was much Interrupted by dispute
between the railroad companies.
If, as St. Paul advices indicate, the
move of the Washington & Oregon Com
pany means a railroad down the north
bank of the Columbia from Wallula, it
would mean that much of the grain now
delivered to ships at Puget Sound would
come to Portland. Hundreds of thousands
of bushels of wheat now come through
Tacoma by rail to reach shins at Portland,
but not aa ounce goes through Portland
to Puget Sound for export.
The Washington & Oregon Railway
Company has not filed Incorporation ar
ticles in this state, which, however, Is
not compulsory. Neither has it filed with
the County Clerk or Secretary of State a
resolution of its board of directors de
claring Its purpose to build within the
State of Oregon, which action Is, under the
new law, a prerequisite to Its exercising
the right of eminent domain. The O. R.
& N. Co. has done this, and Is in position
to occupy the river front all the way to
St. Johns if It shall see fit to do so; and
it may see fit to do so if another road
Bhall manifest an Inclination to build
there. The formal acts necessary to qual
ify the Washington & Oregon to proceed
in Oregon can be done almost any hour,
eo no delay need come from this cause.
TO SAVE THE niG TREES.
ConjrrcHNional Action Anked to Pro
tect California' "Wonder.
People of California are making an ef
fort to have the big trees of that state
protected from destruction through Con
gressional action. Passenger Traffic Man
ager rcCormlck, of the Southern Pacific,
has taken an active part in this move
ment, and In a recent letter on this sub.
ject, he says:
"We have here In California the most
marvelous of all growths, the oldest liv
ing things. These magnificent big trees
of the Sierra Nevada (with the sequoia
feempervirens, or redwood of the Coast
Range), are the last of a great family
that once dominated vegetation in Eu
rope and America, from the Arctic zone to
the Equator.
"The species Is now extinct, with the
exception of the dozen groves and forests
that are found between Placer County on
the north, and Tulare County on the
south, on the western elopes of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains, in California. These
mighty trees, attaining a height of 400
feet, a base clrcumferance of over 100
feet, and an i.ge that Is yet more amazing
6000 years, according to Professor David
Starr Jordan, thus being 6000 years old
at the beginning of the Christian era
have stood unmoved amid all the changes
that have beset the earth's surface.
"Now. these big trees, that should be
more to our Nation than the Pyramids
have been to Egypt for they are both
older and more Impressive are in danger
of destruction: are in danger of being
turned Into shakes and shingles and
matches, fully 65 per cent of their lum
ber value even being lost in that indus
trial process. If some one were to pro
ipose to use the pyramide to furnish pave
ments for the streets of Cairo, the world
would stand aghast, but every day sees
the number of these great trees reduced.
Only one grove Is fully protected, and
that one the Mariposa grove contains
but 700 trees. While some of the others
are included within the National parks,
the reservations at present are so poorly
defined as not to admit of adequate pro
tection." SUFFOCATED IN A TUNNEL.
Engineer of Stalled Frelgrht Train
t'e Victim.
SEATTLE. March 2C. The first serious
accident to occur in the new Great North
ern tunnel, which was opened for traffic
about three months ago, took place yes
terday afternoon, and resulted in the
death of Engineer W. W. Bradley. His
death was due to suffocation, from the
poisonous gases In the tunnel. His fire
man, Joe W. Smith, was overcome, but
recovered. Five other trainmen were
overcome, but recovered soon after reach
ing open air.
The train, which was eastbound, became
stalled in the middle of the tunnel. The
fumes from the engine soon filled the
place, and the men were forced to leive
the train and lie on the floor of the tun
nel for safety. When the train failed to
appear at the far end of the tunnel, the
watchers there feared that something had
happened, and started in with a relief
engine. The body of the dead engineer
was found face down In a ditch at the
side of the track. The other men were
found along the track. The rescuers had
a hard time getting into the scene, owing
to the presence of smoke and gas. All
the men rescued were taken to the hos
pital at Everett, and are nearly recov
ered tonlghC '
Position of the Bnrlinffton.
In speaking of the position of the Bur
lington since the apparent failure of ef
forts to get it in a combine, the Wall
Street Journal says:
"We think several facts are clear. The
railway syndicate needs the Burlington.
It has perhaps offered to guarantee 7 per
cent on the stock. It has certainly dis
cussed measures looking to a lease. It
has found the controlling interest in the
property rather unwilling to make
changes. Perhaps the strongest reason in
favor of a lease from the standpoint of
Burlington directors Is that if the Bur
lington stays outside of the combination
it will probably be compelled to build to
the Pacific Coast and otherwise Increase
obligations and responsibilities' of the
management. Some, at least, of the Bur
lington directors would prefer peace and
quiet to re-entering the railway struggle
of 23 years ago.
"If the Burlington is leased, the guar
antee will be either 7 or 8 per cent. If
the Burlington is not' leased, the directors
will almost be compelled to raise the divi
dend to 7 per cent in order to give the
stockholders as much as they would have
obtained under a lease. This perhaps ac-
counts for the Inside buying In Burling
ton in the last 10 days. From whatever
point of view the situation is regarded,
Burlington seems to justify rather high
prices."
Lower itate on Arlington Wool.
The O. R. & N. will reduce the rate on
wool from Arlington to the Atlantic ta
board from 51 65 to $1 50 per 100 pounds, the
change to go into effect May 13, when it
is expected the new crop will be ready to
move. This rate will apply to wool in
grease in compact bales nl carload lots.
Last year there was no wool press at Ar
lington, and all the wool shipped from
that point, in order to get the benefit of
the baled wool rate to the East, was
shipped to The Dalles and there put
through the prees and then shipped East.
This year Kerr, Gifford & Co., who handle
wool at Arlington, will put in a baler, and
the new rate is made In order to prevent
unnecessary diversion of the traffic At
the same time the rate from Arlington to
The Dalles will be reduced to 35 cents per
100 pounds in sacks. No sacked wool Is
sent to the East- For Eastern shipment,
under the new rate, the wool must be com
pressed in bales so as to give 13 pounds
to the cubic foot.
Ilnmmoml Operating: in California.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 26. The
Chronicle will say tomorrow:
"A report was circulated extensively at
Eureka, Humboldt County, yesterday
that A. B. Hammond had purchased the
Eel River and California Northern Rail
roads, the two lines whose competing
interests In the railroad terminals at Eu
reka have at times been the main issue In
the politics of the city, and which tap,
respectively, the coal and lumber wealth
of the state's northern portion. In the
north the report Is taken as meaning that
Hammond is planning an extension into
California of the lines under the Callfor-
t nla & Columbia River Railroad Com
pany. Mr. Hammond, who is in the city
now on railroad business, denied yester
day that he had made the purchase or
that he had such a move in contempla
tion." Connolldntlon Rumor In Mexico.
MEXICO CITY, March 26. The air Is
full of rumors of great and sweeping
changes In the railroad .situation, and a
division of railroads of this country Into
two groups, one controlling the Mexican
National, which will be made standard
gauge, and the other taking over the
Mexican Central. It is said that the
Southern Pacific is absorbing the Mexican
National, and will control the Monterey
& Gulf road, and possibly the old Vera
Cruz line. Prominent capitalists have
their agents here, who are in dally con
sultation with the highest government
people. One report has it that the Mex
ican Central and the Santa Fe will con
solidate, and another that the Rock Island
will absorb the Central.
Postponed Until , Tomorrow.
OREGON CITY. March 26. The hearing
of George Adams, the motorman of the
Portland City & Oregon Railway Com
pany, who was arrested for running
freight cars through the city In violation
of the franchise, was set for 1 o'clock
this afternoon. The counsel for both
sides, however, stipulated thit the case
be postponed until Thursday, to be heard
on a written statement of facts.
Rnilroad Notes.
F. JL Studley, of Seattle, local manager
of the Japan-American steamship line,
operating in connection with the Great
Northern Railway, was In Portland yes
terday. Traffic Manager Campbell, of the O. R.
& N., who accompanied the Chicago mer
chants eastward last Thursday evening,
concluded when he reached Salt Lake
City to go on to New York. It Is expected
that he will be absent two weeks or
more.
O.'R. & N. trains arlvlng from the
East yesterday were minus the usual
Union Pacific cars through from Chicago.
The Union Pacific had been blockaded
by a blizzard In Nebraska, and the trains
that come to the Coast are made up on
the Oregon Short Line.
The troops that left here Monday even
ing for Fort Wright. Walla Walla and
Boise, arrived at their respective destina
tions yesterday. Twenty-six Infantrymen
went to Fort Wright, the same number
to Walla Walla, and about 30 to Boise.
These were from the 250 that arrived at
Vancouver Barracks from San Francisco
last week.
The Southern Pacific's tie Burnettlzing
plant that Is located at Latham, in the
southern part of Lane County, will com
plete Its work there in about a month,
and it will then be moved to Deltz, in
Northern California, where It will be em
ployed until that section of the road shall
be served. Its work Is entirely satisfac
tory. The Great Northern has just sent out
a lot of new matter descriptive of the
country through which It passes, from
the standpoints of the homeseeker and
the tourist. Among these is a pamphlet
devoted entirely to Lake McDonald, a
curious and picturesque body of water In
the Northwestern corner of Montana, on
the backbone of the continent. It Is In
a vast basin scooped by Nature In the
midst of the mountains, and the lowest
place in the wall that incloses It Is 2400
feet hlsh. Great glaciers are among the
wonders of that as yet unexplored coun
try. What Wonld Happen to Bonl.
Condon Globe.
Count Bonl de Castellane, the skinny
little Frenchman whose title Jay Gould's
daughter purchased with her millions, has
"fit" a duel with a French newspaper
man, in which the Count came off victori
ous. "Bony" would better rest on his
laurels and stay In France. Should he get
his head swelled and come to this coun
try to fight every editor who has poked
fun at him, he would find that he had a
Job on his hands, and might stand a
chance of getting spanked. No American
editor would use a gun on him. Powder
and shot are never wasted In this country
on any game smaller than Jackrabblts or
coyotes.
Will Do the Barbers Good.
Newport News.
The Portland barbers are already tired
of the Sunday-closing law, and a number
of them propose testing the constitutional
ity of the act in the courts. We hope the
law will be found strictly constitutional.
The Portland tonsorlal artists had this
measure enacted of their own free will
and accord to meet their personal views
on the matter, and it will do them a world
of good to be obliged to live up to it for
a couple of years at least. .Besides that,
it will be the means of teaching lots of
men to shave themselves.
Was of No Consequence.
Salem Journal.
The revival of the controversy of how
Governor Pennoyer met President Harri
son at Salem is of no consequence, and
only valuable In showing the Importance
of having men in public office who know
what is proper and courteous on all oc
casions. Beyond an ever-present passion
for making himself and his personal pe
culiarities conspicuous at all times, there
was not much to Pennoyer.
Is There No Better Comparison?
Albany Democrat.
Oregon has had Its Nesmlths, Joab Pow
ells and Pennoyers, but It takes Kansas
to present more odd characters than most
of the states for instance, Peffer, Ingalls,
Rev. C. M. Sheldon, Jerry Simpson, Gov
ernor Lewelllng, John Brown, Mary Ellen
Lease and Mrs. Nation. Some very good
and bright people among them, by the
way.
What We Have to Be Thankful For.
Salem Journal.
About all Portland and Astoria got out
of the last Legislature was more bonds,
more debt and more taxes.
GOULD'S BIG COMBINE
GREAT SOUTHWEST SYSTEM CAP
ITALIZED AT $300,000,000.
Utah-Colorado Lines to Constitute an
Interior Coalition In the Same
General Interest.
SALT LAKE, March 26. The Tribune
will tomorrow print the following:
"The next big move In railroad circles
win be the incorporation under the laws
of Utah of a mammoth Denver & Rio
Grande incorporation, to cover the Utah
Colorado lines, which are to be formed
anto one system, which system Is to be
part of the Greater Missouri Pacific sys
tem. At this time it is impossible to give
the capitalization of the new company,
but the Denver &. Rio Grande, Rio Grande
Western and the Rio Grande Southern at
their present capitalization would create
a total capitalization of over JS4.000.000.
The capitalization of the Colorado South
ern and the Colorado Midland would add
$58,000,000 or a total of 5142,150,000, providing
all should be placed In one corporation,
as It is said will be the case. It is added
that the Rio Grande Junction, the Flor
ence & Cripple Creek, and the Colorado
Springs & Cripple Creek district railways
and others will be brought Into the sys
tem, but it will be some time before the
whole plan will be worked out.
"The idea Is to make of the Colorado
Utah lines a separate system, but a part
of the Missouri Pacific, just as the Wa
bash is at present, or as the Oregon Short
Line is to the Union Pacific. The Colorado-Utah
lines would make a 4150-mile
system, which would be managed by one
set of general officers at Denver, with
traffic and operating oifices at Salt Lake."
GOULD'S BIG COMBINATION.
It Is Fast TaUInjr Form In Ncvr York
The Roads In It.
NEW YORK, March 25. George Gould's
plan to become the head of a combina
tion of raliroads capitalized at 1300,000,000
Is progressing favorably, says the World.
His plan meets with the approval and
has the co-operation of J. Plerpont Mor
gan, the Rockefellers and the Harrlman
syndicate.
The unification of the Gould system of
railroads under the control of the Mis
souri Pacific will include the Missouri
Pacific. SL Louis & Iron Mountain. St.
Louis Southwestern. Texas & Pacific, In
ternational & Great Northern, Wabash.
Missouri, Texas & Pacific and the Denver
&. Rio Grande. George Gould has Just
bought a controlling Interest In this lat
ter road, and It is Intimated that he pur
poses to utilize It as an Important factor
In the construction of the greater Mis
souri Pacific system, of which he will be
the head.
It Is known definitely that the roads
named will be included In the scheme of
consolidation, but it is probable that when
the negotiations now pending shall have
been completed. It will be found that the
list will have been augmented by the addi
tion of the Illinois Central. .Chicago &.
Alton, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, the St.
Louis &. San Francisco, and the Kan
sas City Southern.
The Railroad Securities Company, which
was organized several weeks ago by
Kuhn, Loeb & Company. E. H. Harrlman
and George Gould, will acquire a con
trolling interest in all of the companies,
and will operate them as one combination,
though their corporate integrity will be
maintained.
The Rockefellers and George Gould have
reached an agreement whereby they will
Immediately set about the construction
of a railroad from El Paso, Tex., o Santa
Rita, N. M., and thence to Santa Fe. The
Importance of this new line In a plan for
extending the power and scope of the
Missouri Pacific can be readily understood
when the fact Is taken Into consideration
that El I-aso Is the Western terminus of
the Texas & Pacific, which Is controlled
by the Missouri Pacific, and Santa Fe is
reached by the southernmost branches of
the Denver & Rio Grande, so that such
an extension would connect ithe Texas &
Pacific with the Denver & Rio Grande,
a very Important link In Gould's chain of
Southwestern railroads. This explains
George Gould's recent extensive pur
chase of stock In the Denver &. Rio
Grande, and also Its remarkable strength
of late In the stock market.
It Is generally believed that the project
to build from El Paso to Santa Fe Is
part of a .well-defined plan on the part of
George Gould to extend the Missouri Pa
cific system all through Colorado. Utah
and New Mexico. The Missouri Pacific
connects with the Denver & Rio Grande
at Pueblo and Denver. Gould now being
in control of the Denver & Rio Grande,
and the directors of the latter road hav
ing a traffic arrangement with the Rio
Grande Western, even If they have not al
ready undertaken to purchase It, an out
let to the Pacific Coast Is assured to the
Missouri Pacific via Ogden, which is
reached by the Rio Grande Western.
The arrival In New York from London
yesterday of Ansel Oppenhelm, the first
vice-president and practical manager of
the Chicago Great Western Railroad, led
to rumors that George Gould contem
plated purchasing the road and adding it
to the lines he proposed utilizing in his
projected combination. Some strength
was lent to this proposition by the fact
that before Mr. Oppenhelm so hurriedly
left London for New York he gave an
Interview on the railroad situation in
which he said:
"Consolidation Is becoming the order
of the day in the United States. Com
petition has been so great there that the
large financial interests have become sat
isfied that the only way to maintain a
fair rate of dividends for owners of Amer
ican securities lies in the consolidation.
So far as our line Is concerned, there are
negotiations now pending which may re
sult In the road being absorbed. But all
I can say at the moment is that every
shareholder will be protected."
George Gould, when asked If he contem
plated purchasing the road, answered:
"Most assuredly not," and conveyed the
impression that he did not consider the
acquisition of the road material to his
scheme of railroad consolidation and ex
tension. The Mall and Express says:
"There were general denials today that
the stocks of the Gould roads are to be
controlled through the Railroad Securities
Company, which was organized a short
time ago by the Harrlman Interests, pri
'marlly to hold the securities of the Illi
nois Central, with perhaps the Chicago &
Alton. A representative of a well-known
banking firm said that the securities com
pany would make no purchase whatever
of Gould railroad stocks, and, so far as
he knew, there will be no merger of Gould
and Harrlman properties. The Union Pa
cific is not looking around for any more
small .roads in Colorado or elsewhere, and
he said the stories to this effect were
pure imagination.
"In addition to the Denver & Rio Grande
and the Rio Grande Western, the Greater
Gould system will also take In, perhaps,
the Colorado Southern lines, thereby ren
dering It unnecessary for the Denver &
Rio Grande and Texas & Pacific roads to
be extended to a Junction with each
other."
Santa Fe Gets California fc Nevndn.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26. The de
cision of the United States Circuit Court
oonfirmlng the title of Charles H. Smith,
of Denver, to 304 bonds of the California
& Nevada Railroad, Is said to mean the
opening of a new road, probably under
Santa Fe ownershlD into Oakland. lust
I across the bay irom this city. The dls-
puted bonds represented the controlling
Interests In the road. The bonds have
already been transferred to A. A. Grant
a railroad contractor now receiver of the
local road. At San Pablo the tracks of
the Santa Fe and the California &. Neva
da are only a mile apart, and a short
spur over level ground would connect
them.
Lovfer Fares In Michigan.
LANSING, Mich., March 26. The Su
preme Court today filed an opinion up
holding the ruling of Commissioner Os
borne, that the earnings of the Wabash
Railroad in Michigan exceeded $3000 per
mile last year, and that the company
must reduce Its passenger fare In Michi
gan to 2 cents a mile. The court holds
that In determining what the domestic
fares shall be It Is competent to Include
the amount of Interstate fares earned by
that portion of the road lying within this
state. That was the question Involved.
100-MlIc Extension in Idaho.
NEW TORK, March 26. Confirmation
was had today of the report that papers
have been signed between the Oregon
Short Line Company, which Is a part of
the Union Pacific, and the White Knob
Copper Company, Limited, consummating
a contract for the construction of about
100 miles of railroad. This road will run
from a point near Blackfoot, on the Short
Line, to Houston, located In the central
part of Idaho. The district has been the
scene of extensive nilnlne operations for
the past 42 years.
Nevr President of the Erie.
NEW YORK, March 26. The Evening
Post says:
"Vice-President F. P. Underwood, of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. lias acecpted
the presidency of the Erie Railroad.
President Hill, of the Great Northern. Is
today In Baltimore conferring with Mr.
Underwood, and when he shall return to
New York later In the week It is prot
able that all details as to when Mr. Un
derwood will take up his duties on the
Erie Railroad will be settled."
St. PnnI to Build to Helena nt Once.
ST. PAUL. March 26. A special from
Bowdle, S. D., says:
A full corps of engineers and surveyors
went west to Evarts today. This fact Is
believed to Justify the reports In railroad
circles that the Chicago. Milwaukee &. St.
Paul will build to Helena, Mont., tnte
season, work to begin at once, or as soon
as the surveying Is completed.
Nerr Refrlprerntor Car Company.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 26. The Armour
Car Line Company, controlling fruit re
frigerator cars from California to the
East, filed articles of Incorporation today.
The company was organized under the
laws of New Jersey March 11. and has
an authorized capital stock of $100,000.

Gnmhllnir Inseparable From Wealth.
Harper's Weekly.
It Is a. perfectly natural thing that
gambling should be prevalent In the great
centers of American wealth and popula
tion. Historically speaking, wealth dis
tributed In large pieces among many peo
ple Is a sure corrupter of morals. Take a
thousand people who have been used to
work, and give them more money than
they ever dreamt of, and let them sim
mer In It for a decade or two, and a cer
tain proportion of them will be sure to
develop a turn for gambling. Now, as
heretofore, Satan finds some mischief still
for Idle hands to do. Folks whose busi
ness Is amusement have a hard time to
keep occupied, and have to try every
thing. The trouble with them Is not so
much that their propensities are bad, as
that they have not the wholesome goad
of necessity to keep their feet In the
paths of Industry and Incidental virtue.
It Is perfectly right for Dr. Hunting
ton and Dr. Ralnsford and Mr. Hamil
ton to tell their parishioner's that they
ought not to play bridge whist for such
high stakes, and especially that they
ought not to lure poor young men Into
games too big for them. But what are
they to do, poor things? Where are they
going to get their fun for their money?
How reap the advantages of means? Serv
ants do their work; clerks figure their
interest; their coupons are cut off by ma.
chinery; their rents are collected by
agents: their fights are fought by law
yers; legislation Is bought for them by
lobbyists; their fortunes are doubled by
railroad combinations. The able men
among them have a part in these con
cerns, and get their shoulders to a wheel
now and then, but the Idle women, what
can they do? Of course, some of them
are going to gamble, else Time would

Advice to MInchln.
HILLSBORO, Or., March 25. (To the
Editor.) When It comes to word paint
ing in oratory the speaker on a subject of
the past must necessarily have his author
ities and make himself master of the facts.
Then he may clothe his recital In language
for delivery. It becomes a mere matter of
composition, it would seem, and for a
man to avoid the charges of plagiarism,
he must steer away from the shoals of
verbatim adaptation. Oratory Is judged
by Its elocution. Its word painting, and
its close touch to the subject-matter. Had
young Minchin clothed his garner with
an entirely new suit of his own verbicul
turc he would have escaped his present
predicament. The writer feels sorry for
him and would advise him to be more
careful In his effort at Walla Wal!a. In
conclusion let me "pinch" a little on the
old tune of "Comln Thro the Rye" for
the benefit of the tempest raised by the
Minchin experience:
If Mr. Minchin did 50rpe "plnchln,"
And made his effort nigh.
And won the prize before their eyes
Why should others cry?
If the student Is but prudent,
' He'll brlshten up his eye.
And take the prize at Walla Walla.
By "plnchln" on the sly.
