8 THE MOSNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1902. PENGRA AGAIN IN IT Promoting Railroad Across - Southern Oregon. HERMANN CONNECTED WITH IT From Salt Lalce City to Coos Bny- 1'rolmbly a Gould Scheme Cor- vuIIIk & Ennteni Might Connect With. That. It now transpires that B. J. Pengra, -who lives in Klamath County, was In Portland a few weeks ago in the Interest, of a scheme for building a railroad across the state. The project he talked of was to extend from Coos Bay to Salt Lake City, and he" mentioned the name of Commis sioner Hermann, of the United States Gen eral Land Office, In connection with it. It was understood from what he said that jit Salt Lake City the Oregon line would form a connection with the Gould system, which would mean a connection with the Rio Grandes, the only Gould tracks reach ing that point, ilr. Pengra said engineers jiad recently made an examination of the oute and pronounced it a practicable one or a railroad. A large part of Mr. Pengra's enthusiasm "was for Coos Bay, the praises of which he Bang In every key o the diatonic scale. IHe said the eminent engineers who had been sent out to the Coast to make an examination for the Eastern railroad cap italists behind his enterprise were delight ed with the situation at Coos. The dock-J-oom and the ease with which the harbor jnight be improved particularly pleased them. Therefore, they did not hesitate to recommend that Coos Bay be made the terminus of the projected transcontinental extension to the Pacific. Mr. Pengra said there was no possible doubt of the llnan cial ability of the men behind his scheme, but he declined to disclose their identity, even when such declination operated to keep him from getting certain information that he sought. The effect of such a railroad upon Ore gon could not fail to be Important. It might result in opening a deep-water port at Coos Bay, and an entirely new line of development for Southern Oregon. It would inevitably introduce railroad com petition. It would not directly increase the trade of Portland, but It might so greatly aid the general growth of the state that Portland would be benefited indi rectly. It is not to be overlooked, however, that one of the reasons given by Collls P. Huntington for refusing to accept a land rant that should make him build a rail road between "Winnemucea and Jackson ville was that the mountain range there Was Impassible for a railroad. He wrote lo "Washington that neither man nor beast could scale the Cascade Range where the JSiskiyous branch off toward the Coast. That statement was a bit extravagant, as Is proved by the fact that a wagon road now crosses the range between Ashland end Klamath Falls. A railroad can cross any mountain range in these days of en gineering; the only question Is as to 'whether such road could be operated eco nomically after it should be built. Mr. Pengra says he has expert opinion to the Effect that this road to Coos Bay would cross the mountains on a comparatively Easy grade. , The Central Oregon wagon road grant till remains to be benefited by the rail road, as in the days when Mr. Pengra was so prominently Identified with that prant. And it Is by no means Impossible that the Corvallis & Eastern would con nect with this new Gould enterprise and erve as a feeder for it. That would cer tainly be better than Its present orphaned $nd Isolated condition. Another thing that Portland should not overlook is that there are moves from two nr three directions to lead the trade of Oregon away from" this town. Extension of the Sumpter Valley Railroad Into 'the heart of Eastern Oregon is In the' interest of the Oregon Short Line Railroad and of Salt Lake and Denver merchants. Ex tension of the Xevada, California & Ore gon up from Reno into Southern Oregon is in the interest of the Central Pacific Railroad and of San Francisco merchants. In Portland's interest is the Columbia Southern. If its plans to build across the Btatc to Lakeview, with a branch from Bend to Burns, shall be consummated be fore the others occupy, the field, the best interest of Portland and of the state at large will thus be served. Portland can give all of Eastern Oregon and all of Southern Oregon every advantage as a market and seaport that they can get elsewhere, and connection of those outly ing districts with Portland will bind the state together and make it a producing and commercial factor of Importance, -while leading those districts off to markets of other states tends to tear Oregon apart and make it a state composed of industrial and commercial fragments, actuated by diverse interests. THE BOHEMIA RAILROAD. 3Iyster!ouN Xew Jersey Corporation Admitted to Be That Enterprise. P. J. Jennings, who is a leader in en terprises for the development of the Bo hemia mining district, in Lane and Doug las Counties, yesterday admitted that the Oregon & Southeastern Railway Com pany, which was incorporated last week .in New Jersey, "was the name of the com pany organized to build the railroad from Cottage Grove, on the Southern Pacific, to the Bohemia mines. This enterprise, lie says, has been financed and everything is now in shape to go ahead with the 'railroad. The survey is nearly completed. The road will be about 40 miles long, and will pass through a country that Is heavl lj timbered, as well as richly mineralized. The withdrawal of four townships of the mining district from the Cascade Forest Reserve remains to be accomplished In order that the new railroad enterprise mav have full liberty in its operations In that field. CbnnRC In Car Service Charge. NEW YORK, April 24. The American Railway Association has convened its reg ular Spring session at the Waldorf-Astoria, in this city. The organization Includes nearly all of the railroads In this country, and represents 151.C53 miles of line In oper ation. L. W. Sullivan, of the IllinIs Cen tral, presided. While the sessions are hejd with closed doors', it is understood that the programme of the opening session included the con sideration of reports on train rules, car service, safety appliances, standard dimen sions of box cars and statistical inquiry. A report favoring the change in the car service charges from mileage to day rates was presented, it is said, and it Is expect ed that official action will be taken to effect the change, as a large proportion of railroad traffic managers advocate the proposed per diem plan. These service charges relate to the "use of cars of other lines, and are now regu lated on the basis of mileage runs. The system proposed Is that each freight car used by lines other than Its owners shall be charged for at a certain rate per day. Judgment Against Central Pacific. SAN FRANCISCO, April 24. United States Circuit Judge Morrow has ordered the entry of judgment by default against the Central Trust Company, of New York; the United States Trust Company, of New York, and the Central Pacific Railway Company, of Utah, on the supplemental complaint filed June 27, 1S99, In the case of Walter Morehead against the Central pacific Railway Company, the Pacific Im provement Company, Collls P. Huntington land others to enforce the payment of 420 shares of Central Pacific Railroad Com pany stock purchased by the plaintiff, and for an Injunction and an accounting. The attorneys for the defendants claim that they have not defaulted, and they will move that the case be reopened. Brnkebenm Trust. DETROIT, April 24.

The West Side, due in Portland at 5:50 last evening, was delayed 15 minutes by a pile of lumber on Fourth street near Washington, that had been placed too near the track. It was necessary to move the iumber before the train could pass, and conductor and brakeman joined with the contractor in getting the obstruction out of the way. "W. A Lalor, of Chicago, assistant gen eral passenger agent of the Chicago, Bur lington &. Qulncy, was In Portland a few hours yesterday on his way home from the meeting of the Transcontinental Pas senger Assdciatlon at Coronado Beach, Cal. This was Mr. Lalor's first visit to .Portland.

After one of the greatest parades held at a Confederate reunion. Dallas tonight bade good-bye to thousands of her visitors. Every railroad entering the city sent out trains laden with veterans. Tonight, at Camp John ston, the Grand Kaliph's ball was held. A reception to General Gordon at Epis copal College was the social feature of the day. There the commander-in-chief, bearing his 72 years like a man of 40, did his best to receive all who came. Near the head of the line of the parade came the famous North Carolina "Hor nets," with hornet nests pinned to theu breasts or hanging from poles, and they, with Georgia, Texas, Tennessee. Ken tucky, in fact, every Southern State which was represented in the parade, proudly boasted flags now faded and torn, but cherished mementos. The Arkansas dele gation carried a banner inscribed: "We are from Arkansas; now laugh, darn you." The sponsors and maids of honor of For est's cavalry r,ode with the veterans on horses, and the Tennessee maidens walked side by side with the old soldiers whom thev ramp to honor. The Louisiana spon sors were mounted, and rode behind the tattered flag of the old Fourteenth Louis iana. It was estimated -that 12,000 men were In line, about 3000 being veterans. General Gordon had great trouble In get ting back to his hotel. At every oppor tunity crowds eager to shake his hand corraled him. At the hotel a crowd of sponsors and maids of honor captured him, and as many as could threw their arms about him. Daughters of the Revolution. DENVER. April 24.

Execntive Committee Decides to Submit Resolution Condemning Private Ovrnershlp. The Board of Trade will be the next to take a turn at the city market question. At yesterday's meeting of the executive committee of the board the subject was sprung, and the committee showed Itself light on the trigger. A resolution was introduced against committing the en terprise to a private corporation, at least until the subject is further considered. It was strongly favored, and was referred to the' standing committee on civil affairs. It will be brought up in the meeting of the board next Monday night. The session yesterday was a quiet one until the resolution came up. Discussion then warmed up, and several times scin tillated with oratory. A. J. Johnson, rep resented the farmers' interests of Mult nomah, Washington and Clackamas Counties. He spoke strongly against permitting a private company to get hold of the enterprise. He was opposed by C. W. Miller, in behalf of the Union Market Company. The resolu tion that touched off the debate was as follows: Resolution That Arouses Debate. Whereas, Farmers and fruitgrowers of the country adjacent to and within a rea sonable distance of our city desire a pub lic market place In said city, established and maintained by the city, upon plans and conditions consistent with the best interests of the consumer and the pro ducer; and looking to that end, have a committee that is Investigating the princi pal market systems of other cities, as to the cost, construction, revenue, manage ment, etc., intending, as soon as possible, to present to our city such request and desired plan for such action thereon as the city deems advisable; and Whereae. a proposition has been pre sented to the Council by a private corpo ration, wherein such corporation agrees to build and maintain a market upon block 132, commonly known as the Market block, for a period of 10 years, and at the end of that time turn the same over to the city, provided the city will grant said corporation a lease of said Block for such period free of rent; and, "Whereas, There Is now a building on said block, belonging to the city, which cost some $26,000. or thereabouts, which it would seem might with little expense to the' city bs so remodeled as to make a suitable market-place for producers, and the city thereby receive the revenues and profits therefrom; and Whereas, There is apparently a desire on the part of said private corporation to rush this matter through the Council be fore thorough, careful and accurate In formation is acquired; and Whereas, Our body feels that In case eaid building can be so remodeled or an other building in any way better suited to the needs thereof be constructed by the city upon conservative business methods, that the city should so receive the reve nues and profits therefrom, and not per mit the same to go to the hands of any private enterprise; now, therefore, B- It resolved, by the Portland Boari of Trade, That we would most respect fully recommend and urge that the Coun cil defer final action upon this matter for sufficient time to permit producers and others Interested the fullest investiga tion of detailed facts concerning other markets and to bring forth and present such plans as they may deem most con ducive to the mutual welfare of the city and county, and, be It further Resolved, .That we would favor that the city take the proper steps to ascertain the feasibility of remodeling and utilizing: the builnlng now on said block for such purpose. ' C. W. Miller Favors Lease. C. W. Miller began the tourney by say ing that the proposal was not a new one, and that it had been considered by the departments of the city government for four months.. "We have not been rush ing it." he declared. "About six weeks ago It was referred to the committee on judiciary of the Council. This committee examined the plans and proposals. The committee had a joint conference with the Board of Public Works. The board decided, after thorough Investigation, that the old building is a firetrap and unfit for a public market. It resolved that the old building should be removed ' Mr. Miller went on to stat the advan tage which would accrue to the city from letting his company take charge of the project. "The company will make all the improvements without cost to tne city, he went on. "and the property will re vert to the city after 10 years. The city will regulate the price of stalls and the management and sanitation of the mar ket." "The city authorities have glyen the matter so much study," he declared, "that nothing the Board of Trade will do will have any influence with them. Their In vestigation is more thorough than any the board can make." Gnincnn Opposes Private Ownership. Thomas Guineau jumped up immediately and thus delivered himself: "We don't want the public market owned by a private company or individ ual." Then Mr. Guinean paid his compliments to the Board of Public Works and the City Council. "Look over the city," he said, "and see how the Interests of the people have been neglected." After mentioning bad r-treets, bad sidewalks and bad sanitary eondltlons, he added, looking hard at Mr. Miller: "When you can show me a Council or a Board of Public Works that has the Inter ests of the city at heart, it will be time enough to talk." ' Others Oppose Project. "The Board of Trade should condemn the proposal to give over the market just on general principles," spoke up William Klllingsworth. "Mr. Miller, does not want the Board of Trade to get Its finger Into the city mar ket pie." Joined in Seneca Smith blandly, "but the Board of Trade should put its finger into every public pie." A. J. Johnson, who had stirred up the trouble by bringing the subject before the board, himself took a turn. He said the city could make money by running the market, for this is done in Eastern cities. But, leaving this question aside, he thought the city should not lake action beforo it had full information about such enterprises elsewhere. He mentioned ex amples of Eastern cities where public markets are conducted at a profit to the municipalities, In some cases, of $40,000 to $50,000 a year. He opposed tearing down the old building. "I believe it could be fixed up so as to demonstrate that a pub He market will pay the city." He eaid if at the end of a year the venture lost monev. the citv could acceot the oronosa' 1 of the private company. "The Council is to regulate the charges on stalls of small producers, but the corporation will regu late those on the Inside building. On tho latter tho company will make big proflfs." The executive committee finally decided to bring the resolution before the entire board. "We are perfectly satisfied," said Mr. Miller. "All we want is an investigation of the subject by the board." Alaska Central Railway. William Klllingsworth, who had recently returned from Seattle, spoke on the ad vantage to Portland citizens of their in teresting themselves In the proposed rail road from Resurrection Bay to the Yu kon. This project is headed by Seattle capitalists. Vessels to reach Resurrection Bay from Puget Sound must go by the outside passage in the open sea, where Portland can compete on equal terms, with Seattle. Mr. Klllingsworth said the rail- road would greatly help Portland's en deavor to regain the Alaska trade. The matter was referred to the board with a recommendation that the board appoint a special meeting for discussion of Port land's trade relations with Alaska. Minor Matters. Ellis G. Hughes was Invited to address the board at his earliest convenience on the subject, "The Columbia River." I. B. Hnmmond. at his own request, was changed from the manufacturing to the mining committee. It was resolved to give George Mc Gowan all the literature on Oregon that Is available for his visit to Scotland. The resignation of Edith L. Niles, as as sistant secretary, was referred to the board. A communication from Captain Langfitt, asking the board for an expression of opinion concerning the question of closing the bridge .draws, was referred to the committee on civic affairs. It will be con sidered at the meeting of the board Mon day night. The question of indorsing the bill in Congress providing for reorganization of the Consular service was referred to the committee on legislation. A committee composed of B. Lee Paget and Samuel Connell was named to report to the board on the plans tind prospects of the Portland Sanitarium. The sanitarium invited the Investigation, desiring to sh6w that it is not a profit-making, but a semi public institution. FAR3IER AVAXTS A MARKET. "Wants to Know "Why the Granges Are Against It. MONTAVILLA, Or., April 23. (To the Editor.) As a fruitgrower I have been greatly Interested in the market ques tion. I have noticed the different re ports from time to time on this ques? tlon, and it appears that the only par ticular opposition at the present time Is from the Grangers. Inasmuch as we are in such need of a market, it seems to me that we should make some disposi tion of the matter before "the present growing crop is ready for market. If this company commences work on the buildings within 30 days, as they agree to do, it would insure a market this season. If we wait for the city to do it we shall be Just where we have been In the matter for the last 10 or 15 years. As I understand this company's proposition, they agree to erect these modern buildings at their own expense and allow the city to regulate the charges against us. What do .we care who operates this market, so long as a dis interested body like the City Council regulates the charges? The city has already refused to operate a market on Its own responsibility; hence I can see no grounds for the Grangers to object to this company's proposition. Instead of opposing the enterprise, the Grangers should give It their hearty sup port. I feel confident that this so-called Grange opposition Is not based on a .cor rect understanding of the market project. Mr. Johnson appears to be represent ing the Grangers In this matter, but I can't believe that It Is the Intention of the majority of them to oppose a proposition for which they have so long and so loudly contended. A' FARMER. INDIAN WAR PENSIONS. T. A. "Wood Makes a Few Remarks on the Subject. PORTLAND, OrTTApril 24. (To the Editor.) In speaking about the condi tion of the Indian War pension bill, Hon. Thomas H. Tongue says: "The Indian War veterans were under territorial organization, and not under the United States organization.- Congress hesitates to establish a precedent. There Is the whole controversy. We are doing the best we can to overcome It, but I am losing hope." In another letter he says: "The chair man of the House pension committee Is not so favorable as he was a year ago." He then said to Mr. Tongue, and myself that if we could find a way to let in our veterans and not oen the door to other state and territorial militia, he would favor the bill. We found a legal way to do that. No other state or territorial veterans in the United States were paid by the Govern ment but ours. All state militia and all volunteers called out by Governors and not mustered into the United States service have been paid by the states or territories and reimbursed by the general Government. Hence, a bill to pension those pild by the Government would be no precedent to admit those who were paid by states or territories. Caviling over this point shows an un friendly spirit to veterans of this Coast. The chairman was anxious to know If Oregon and Washington veterans had been paid by the United States, and he asked Mr. Tongue to write to the United States Treasurer and find out If that was really so. When the letter was placed in his hands he seemed pleased that a way had been found favorably to report the bill. It seems that a change has come over the spirit of his dreams. In him Indian War veteran Interests are confronted with a stone wall. Congress man Cushman says "he is sorry to say It does not look very encouraging for passage of pension bill." Senator Mitchell two days later sayB: "I have strong hope of getting a favorable re port now before a great while." Four times in the past eight years tho Senate has favorably passed our pension bill, and so far the pension committee of the House has refused to concur. What would Grand Army of the Re public men have done If they had been stood off half a century? They would have gone in a body to the Democratic party, or built up a party of their own. A pension is the Nation's badge of honor. The Indian War veterans are re fused this badge of honor and held In disgrace. We will know in a month what the outcome will be. If it Is not passed in that time it will never pass as the House committee is now consti tuted. Some other argument will have to be used In order to reach the House, If veterans ever hope to succeed.
