light for the possession of the abandoned
Oregon Short Line right of Tray through
Southeastern Nevada and Southwestern
"Utah, between Senator W. A. Clark, of
Montana, and the Oregon Short Line, rep
resenting the Harriman interests, has

and the Utah, Nevada & California roads
-were without .merit, and recommends the
approval of the claims filed by the Utah,
Nevada & California Railroad, organized

gon Short Line. It is over this right of
way that the construction forces of the
Oregon Short Line and the Clark Interests

tinue to be pushed.
REACHING FOR A PACIFIC PORT.
Missouri Pacific to Have an Outlet
ThrouRh Portland.
NEW YORK, April 24 The Herald says:
Plane for development of the Missouri
Pacific system which George J. Gould has
had under his immediate charge have
received the unanimous indorsement of
the directors. It is now the indication
that not only will this system have the
outlet to the Pacific Coast over the
Union Pacific lines which will be fur
nished by its control of the Rio Grande
"Western, but it will have a southerly out
let to ttfe coast over the Southern Pacific
lines.
Russell Sage announced last night
xhat the project of building a line
from El Paso, Tex., which is reached by
the Texas & Pacific and also, incidentally,
by the Mexican Central to Santa Fe, N.
M., will be carried through. This means
not only a paralleling of the Atchison's
line between these two cities, but an op
portunity to connect with the Mexican
Central and to carry its traffic straight
up over the Union Pacific by the way of
the Oregon Short Line and Oregon Rail
road. & Navigation Company to Portland,
Dr.
The control of the Mexican Central, it
has recently been stated, has passed into
the hands of interests representing a
railroad with connection at El Paso. At
shison and Southern Pacific interests and
those of the Rock Island, which was said
to contemplate an extension to El Paso,
have all denied that they are the pur
chasers. The belief is growing that In
terests Identified with Mr. Gould and his
associates have bought the Mexican Cen
tral control on behalf of the Missouri Pa
clfic.
El Paso as the western terminus of the
Texas & Pacific Is an admirable point for
connection of the Missouri Pacific sys
tem with the Southern Pacific, whose
lines run thence to San Francisco through
the rich lands of Southern California.
Such a connection will be. It is held, a
logical outcome of the present situation
and will furnish the southern outlet to
the Pacific Coast
Mr. Sage spoke confidently of the future
of the Missouri Pacific A report from
Denver to the effect that the Attorney
General of the State of Colorado threat
ened to bring suit to prevent the consoli
dation of the Denver & Rio Grande, of
which Mr. Gould and associates have con
trol in the Interest of the Missouri Pa
cific, the Rio Grande "Western, Colorado
Midland and Colorado Southern, was
called to his attention.
"I don't know of any likelihood that the
State of Colorado will attempt to inter
fere in our plans," said Mr. Sage. "I
cannot see why it should be disposed to
do so or what would be the justice of it
unless the state had a prior Hen on one
of the roads and its Interests Involved In
that way may be hurt. It has not any
such Hen.
"The project on foot will be of benefit
to all the roads concerned. They will be
fairly treated, and the public will not be
lnjure.i. There will not be much danger
of state Interference, I think."
"Will the plan for the development of
a greater Missouri Pacific mean the leas
ing to the road of the Denver & Rio
Grande or Rio Grande Western, Colora
do Midland or Colorado & Southern?" was
asked.
"It will be a consolidation." said Mr.
Sage positively. "The directors have met
aTid voted unanimously in favor of Mr.
Gould's plans. The Missouri Pacific will
control the roads embraced in the scheme
by stock ownership, the situation being
similar to that of the New York Central
In Its control of the Michigan Central and
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern."
"Does the Missouri Pacific expect to
get an outlet to the Coast?"
"Certainly," replied Mr. Sage. "We
shall have an outlet which will enable us
to compete with other roads running to
and from the Pacific Coast."
The question was asked whether the
yqad would acquire new Interests which
would give this outlet or make an ar
rangement with one of the railroads now
running to the coast and with which its
system does or will connect.
"Oh, we shall make a traffic arrange
ment of some sort, giving our traffic to
the road "with which we agree and tak
ing its own." answered Mr. Sage. "No.
I cannot tell you whether that road would
be the Atchison or what It would be."
"Is It certain that the reported project
of building a line between El Paso. Tex..
the western terminus of the Texas &
Pacific and Santa Fe, which the Denver
& R'o Grande reaches, will be carried
through?" was asked.
"That will be done without doubt, I
think," said Mr. Sage. "I cannot discuss
the question whether a new corporation
will be formed for the purpose. Mr.
Gould Is in charge of the details and will
rrport back to the hoard of directors. I
can say that the carrying out of all our
plans will undoubtedly put the system In
a very strong position."
ADVERTISING SELLS PRUNES.
Callfornians Profit From Suggestion
of OrcRon Railroad Man.
General Freight and Passenger Agent
Markham, of the Southern Pacific, be
lieves in advertising, and from a sugges
tion made by him has grown an exten
sive system of advertising for the
prunes of California. The prune growers
of the Santa Clara Valley have placed
contracts for newspaper advertising to
the extent of some $65,000. In advocating
systematic advertising Mr. Markham re
ferred to some well-known patent medi
cines and asked: "Would the sale of
these articles ever have reached profit
able proportions If they had not been ad
vertised?" The advertising brings the
fruit to the notice of consumers, who are
glad enough to get it when they find It
out. New uses are suggested and the
demand for the fruit is materially ex
tended. The Southern Pacific Company has also
acted upon Mr. MarkhanTs suggestion
for advertising prunes and has issued
& neat California Prune Primer of a
dozen 12mo pages explaining what the
prune is, how It is cured and what it is
us&d for. A million copies of this primer
have been Issued and they will be cir
culated chiefly among the school children
of ihe country- Enough will be printed
to place one in the hands of every pupil
in "thf public schools. A few recipes ac
company the primer, which is Illustrated,
and the letter text Is bold, clear and at
tractive. Bringing this little story be
fore the children of the land not only
gives them some useful information, but
is deemed certain to make the prune
more popular as an article of food
throughout the Nation. This primer
credits the prune to Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and some parts of Europe as
well as to California. The Oregon prune
growers might build some valuable
special advertising on this groundwork.
RAILROAD SUBSmY BILL.
British Columbia Government ia
Urging the Measure.
VICTORIA, B. C, April 24. British Co
lumbia is again in the throes of a po
litical crisis, brought about by the gov
ernment's bill to borrow $3,000,000 to sub
sidize railways in the province. Many
of the government supporters wanted it
explicitly stated that the subsidy for a
line from the coast to Midway should be
given to a company Independent of the
Canadian Pacific Railway.
The government bill leaves it to the gov
ernment to say who the subsidy shall be
given to, their object being to make the
best bargain possible. Joe Martin is
supporting the government bill, and he
is being followed by Brown, Mclnnes and
Stables, of the opposition party, while
Martin's lieutenant. Smith Curtis, of
Rossland, has deserted the opposition for
the stand taken by his former leader. He
walked out of the opposition caucus last
night.
On the other hand, Helmcken and Mc
Phillips, of Victoria, and Garden, of Van
couver, have openly come out In oppo
sition to the government's policy, which
they formerly supported, and tomorrow
Helmcken will move a want of confidence
motion favoring the construction of the
Coast-Kootenal Railway by an independ
ent company. This will show how the
House stands on the question. With the
support of the three members of the op
position it is expected that the govern
ment can carry the bill.
FLURRY IN UNION PACIFIC.
Chicago & North-western Said to Be
After the Stock.
NEW YORK, April 24. The Commercial
Advertiser says:
"A sensational movement In Union Pa
cific Railway shares on the floor of the
New York Stock Exchange today was ac
companied by a report that Chicago &
Northwestern interests were buying to
obtain control of the transcontinental sys
tem, which is its natural connection and
Pacific Coast outlet. No corroboration of
the prevailing rumors could be obtained
from official sources, but the operators In
the Stock Exchange clung to them per
sistently. Occasionally the Chicago &
Northwestern-Union Pacific story would
be varied by reports that a big Union Pa
cific pool had been formed by strong
financial interests. Officers of the Chicago
& Northwestern declare that so far as
they know, that company has no interest
in the deals with the Union Pacific, or any
other system. The Vanderbllt interests
are largely represented In both the Chi
cago & Northwestern and the Union Pa
cific" Amended Complaint Filed.
OREGON CITY, April 24. An amended
complaint was filed in the Circuit Court
this afternoon in the consolidated in
junction suits of C. W. Ganong and the
Oregon & California and Southern Pacific
companies against the Oregon City &
Southern Railway Company. The amend
ed complaint asserts that the Oregon City
& Southern has built a railway line be
tween Oregon City and Canemah on the
right of a pretended franchise granted by
the Board of County Commissioners, and
that the said railway line is built on a
county road that has been used under the
franchise of the Southern Pacific Com
pany for a period of 40 years. Also that
the Oregon City & Southern Railway
Company has not built Its road according
to the terms of the franchise, as there
are but few places where teams can pass
the moving cars. The plaintiffs aek for
a temporary injunction to restrain de
fendant from crossing Its right of way
or crossings unjtil the settlement of this
suit, and at the final hearing a permanent
injunction.
Advertising Oregon Apples.
The Pacific Coast Is abundantly recog
nized on the menu cards of the New
York Central &. Hudson River Railroad.
California olives, oranges and wines ap
pear on the card, and "Oregon apples"
tempt fruit-lovers at every meal. Gen
eral Passenger Agent Daniels writes to
Passenger Acent Seachrlst, of Portland,
that the excellence of this fruit as served
on his trains brings him many inquiries
as to where it may be obtained, and
he Is always pleased to give the Infor
mation sought. This manner of designat
ing superior wares tends to popularize
the railroad and to give valuable adver
tising to meritorious articles, and the
fame of "Oregon apples" Is Increased
by It.
Advance in Freight Rates.
May 1 the freight rate will be ma
terially advanced on several articles be
tween Portland and San Francisco. On
beans, peas, breakfast cereals, sago, tap
ioca, pearl barley, canned goods, sal soda
and sulphur the rate by water will go
up from 71 to 12& cents per 100 pounds,
and by rail from 10& to 15 cents, in
carload lots. On dried fruits and paints,
oils, etc, the water rate will be advanced
from 10 to 12 cents and the rail rate
from 13 to 15 cents. On sugar the water
rate will be increased from 7 to 10 cents
and the rail rate from 10 to 13 cents.
The rates to Willamette Valley and In
terior points will be correspondingly af
fected. Demand for Oregon Advertising;.
The Southern Pacific Company main
tains a complete information bureau at
613 Market street, San Francisco. Three
men are in charge of it and they supple
ment the "literature" describing the ad
vantages of the various sections of the
Pacific Coast with much personal infor
mation about Oregon, in the way of de
scriptive pamphlets, newspaper compila
tions, etc, so as to have a supply avail
able at the bureau of information in San.
Francisco. There is a great demand for
all this matter and good use is made of
It- Mr. Markham yesterday sent out to
agents a circular asking for matter ad
vertising the resources of their respec
tive localities.
Canadian Trade for Russia.
VANCOUVER, B. C, April 24. The an
nouncement is made that the first task of
William Whyte, the newly appointed as
sistant president of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, will be to take a trip over the
Trans-Siberian Railway, with the object
of studying the opportunities for exten
sion of Canadian trade with that region.
If prospects are reported good, the estab
lishment of a steamship service between
Vladivostock and Vancouver is likely to
follow. Mr. Whyte will leave for St. Pe
tersburg shortly, and will be accompanied
by a civil engineer.
