10 THE MQRKDK3- "OBEGONIA rSDSDAT. MAY 22, 1902. h ORDER TO REDUCE RATES TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT OP SOUTH ERN PACIPIG TAKES ACTION. Ifcvr Tariff Sheet to Be Compiled aad Published at Once In Effect Prolmbly Jane X. General Freight and Passenger Agent Coman, of the Southern Pacific yesterday received -word irom Traffic Director Stubtxs and Passenger Traffic Manager Mc Cormick that the reduction In passenger lares from 4 to 3 cents a mile on the Ore gon lines of the company had lieen au thorized. The compilation of a tariff sheet In accordance -with these instruc tions "was Immediately begun, and tho new rate win go into effect as soon as the new rate sheet can be Issued, probably by June 1. It is not yet possible to say -what day the new rate -will take effect, because it is a big job to compile the table of fares between all the stations on the Una and get it printed ancL.dlstrIbu.ted to all the agents. The new jnileago rate will not affect lares between Portland and San Fran cisco, -where water competition has al ready brought them much below 3 cents a mile. The distance Is 772 miles, which, at 3 centa a mile, would warrant a fare of 523 16. But the highest first-class rate is onlv $17 EO net $25, with rebate of $7 50. Including the t5 sleeping-car fare, the fare is only $22 50 net. The second-class fare 'between Portland and San Francisco Is 515 with rebate of 51, and this includes oerth In sleeping car. But between all stations on the South ern Pacific ia Oregon lares will be re duced to three-quarters of the present figures. Between Koseburg and Salem, I lor example, a distance of 145 miles, faro that is now 53 8a will be' reduced to 54 35. All local rates on the Southern Pacific, except a. few suburban, will be dropped in accordance Ttn tne new oraer ut jrreaj Mpnt Harrlman. The suburban rates -were already below the new figure. v SALEM PEOPLE PLEASED. fXoir Tliey Look lor an Adjustment of Freight Bate. SAL-EM, Or., May 2L Expressions of satisfaction, were heard on all sides today following the announcement that the i 3-cent railroad fare "had been extended over the Southern Pacific Company's lines in Oregon. Salem people have for some Itlma felt that the "Willamette Valley was being discriminated against in. the mat ter tf Tailway transportation rates. "While the 4-cent faro nas not been generally considered excessive, the people of tho JVallcy feel that this section of tho state has been discriminated against to an ex tent that has discouraged immigration. Some dissatisfaction with tho freight schedule Is expressed, but the general im pression is that the reduced rate in pas senger lares -will do much to promote a better feeling as between producers and citizens generally and the railroad com pany. The matter of a more satisfactory adjustment of freight rates, it is believed, will duly receive consideration. A number of business men expressed opinions -on the reduction, as flllows: C. P. Bishop, Mayor I am pleased that the Tailroad company has anticipated the wishes of tho people in this matter of a reduction of passenger rates. But the thing that -would be to the people of the "Willamette "Valley a real and substantial benefit is a reduction of freight rates on our products. The traveling publio large ly gets a 21-cent rate by the use of mile age books. The ordinary farmer who goes to Portland once a year or once In two years, and to his county seat five or six times a year, by rail, will hardly appreci ate the reduction of 25 per cent in .his railroad fares, but a reduction of 25 per cent on 1000 or 2000 bushels of wheat that he may have to ship would be plainly per ceptible. H. B. Thlelsen, president Greater. Salem Commercial Club I was greatly pleased to see In this morning's paper that the Southern Pacific has at last concluded to follow the example of the O. R. & N. and Northern Pacific Companies In the matter of granting to the people of Ore gon a 3-cent rate. I am sure that while it may for a short time decrease the pas senger earnings of the Southern Pacific Company, it will not be long before the increased travel will bring about an in crease. It will bring about increased travel and Increased business, to say nothing of the advantage of closer rela tions resulting from more frequent visits between residents of different localities. If Mr. Harrfman intends throwing us these little bouquets every time he visits us, we Bhall be pleased to see nim" often. E. C. Cross The reduced rate for pas senger transportation In "Western Oregon -will have the effect of promoting a bet ter feeling as between the people and the railroad company, between whom more or less animosity has always existed. It -will also remove the discrimination against the "Willamette Valley that has for some time existed in favor of other sections of the Northwest where more liberal transporta tion rates have prevailed. G. B. Gray In my Judgment the 3-cent rate in the Willamette Valley Is something we have needed for some time. Immigra tion agents hi Eastern Oregon and "Wash ington have used our 4-eent Tnt n argument against the settling up of the'j wmamette valley, as trasportation rates were so much cheaper in their section. PRESIDENT HAERIMAN GOES EAST. Run Through to Huntington Yester day; Thence to Ogden. The JIarriman special train left the union, station yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, going over the O. R. & N. to give the party a glimpse of the famous Columbia River .scenery-- President Moh- lers official car was attached to the train, and President Mohler, Superintendent O'Brien and .Master Mechanic Graham, of the O. R. & N., accompanied the special to Huntington, which point was reached about 10 o'clock last night. This made a Tun of 404 miles In 14 hours. Engine 145, in charge of Engineer Curtis, started out from Portland and wa3 expected to go through to Huntington. Conductor Coman had charge of the train. At Huntington the special was delivered to the Oregon Short Line for a- fast run to Ogden. AH the time the Harrfman train was at the station ia Portland a, locomotive -with steam up and engineer At the throt tle was kept attached to the train. This was not for the purpose of moving it, however but to keep stam circulating through the heating pipes, there being no other way to warm the care. The train was lighted by electricity from storage batteries. The car inspectors examined the Harrf man train without banging the wheels with their hammers or making any other disturbance. They merely looked the wheels over and passed on. They said the -n heels were made of plates of iron with paper Ifetween them, tho whole being bound together with a heavy 6teel tire. Sucn whsels are not Jikely to break, and their sound under the hammer would not reveal anything if they were injured. The ring of the ordinary solid car wheel when the hammer strikes it exposes its condi tion. For the two days that Presidents Har rlman and Mellen were in Portland an extra man was required constantly at the train dispatcher's office at the union sta tion to handle the extra messages. X ORTHER.V PACIFIC I3IPROVE3IEXT TVI11 Spend 8780,000 on Pacific Divi sion This Season. The Northern Pacific is also spending a good deal of money .lor track betterment. On the Pacific division, which reaches from Portland to EHensburg and includes the Seattle branch, about $780,000 will be expended this 3 ear. About 12 miles of new rails "will be laid, 75 and SO-pound steel; a good many miles of new sidings will be put down, ahd ballasting and gen- eral track Improvements will be exten sively carried on. Most of the -work will be done east of the Cascade Mountains. Track ballasting Is now in progress be tween Portland and Goble, where tho road was largely rebuilt some 10 years ago. A gravel-pit has been opened at Deer Island station, and a train is employed hauling the gravel ballast along the track. This work will require two or three weeks. Construction of the evtension northward from Hoquiam to the Indian reservatioa Is proceeding satisfactorily. The first 10 miles has already been completed. It was inspected by President Mellen, a few days ago, but It was not deemed best to turn it over to the operating- department Just now. There will be 17 miles more of the new road, reaching to one of the finest bodies of cedar in the Pacific "Northwest. The entire extension is expected to be completed this year. At Aberdeen4the Northern Pacific track is not laid where the sawmills of the town can reach it without teaming. To meet- the difficulty the trolley line company that was recently organized to build a road between Aberdeen and Hoquiam, a dis tance of 4i miles, will extend its track a mile and a half up the "WIshkah River to the mills. It will be a standard-gauge track and where it crosses the Northern Pacific track a switch will be put In and Northern Pacific cars will be run on the trolley rails to the sawmills. This will give the relief the mills -want. George Batty'a Xexr Jo. George S. Batty, who was for several years Portland agent for tho "Wisconsin Central Railroad, and later engaged in the real estate business here, promoting Ocosta-by-the-Sea and Oswego, and who went from Portland about five years ago to become general passenger agent for the Iowa Central Railroad at Marshalltown, la., has been appointed general manager of Street's "Western Stable-Car Line, with offices in the Old Colony bulldlnjr in Chi cago. Several weeks ago he resigned from the Iowa Central. His appointment to the Street company dates from May L This company builds and operates stable cars. It now has 4000 cars out, and valu able contracts for operating them upon various railroads. Its authorized capital is 55,000,000. and its earnings last year were more than 5200,000.

SALT LAKE, May 21.-Judge Hall to day, on the petition of the Rio Grande "Western Railway and other property-own- ers on "West Fourth street, granted a temporary injunction restraining the Ore gon Short Line Railway from proceeding with the construction of a track on "West Fourth street, a franchise for which was passed by the Council over Mayor Thomp son's veto last night. The proceedings are a result of the long fight over the ques tion of a union station in that part of the city. Hearing was set for Friday. tho Hammond Hasn't Sold Out. A dispatch received from San Francisco said that A. B. Hammond had disposed of his railroad interests In Oregon to Mr. Harrfman, and that the effect of the transaction would be to make Portland a way station and Astoria a terminal. Presi dent Hammond was asked about tho truth of the statement, and said there was no truth in it. "There ia absolutely nothing In the re port," said he. "I don't see how I can say more about it It Is altogether false." "Wabash Gets Lake Ferry. NEW YORK, May 2L It was generaljy accepted as a fact in financial circles here today that Interests friendly to the "Wabash Railroad Company .had acquired a controlling interest in the Ann Arbor road, which, by ferry across Lake Michi gan, has direct connection with the St. Paul, the Chicago & Northwestern, the "Wisconsin Central and the Canadian Pa cific DEPEWS SMALL OLIGARCHY He Better Loolc at Home Before Con demning Other States. Chicago Tribune. Senator Depew gives a broad hint of his disapproval of the popular election of Sen ators. He prefers the method of election which put his colleague ln the Senate to one which might have kept the senior Senator from New York out of the Sen ate. Senator Depew shows his opposition to the proposition to choose Senators by pop ular vote by the amendment he has of fered to It, It Is an amendment to the effect that the qualifications of citizens entitled to Tote for United States Sena tors and Representatives shall be uniform ln all the states, and that Congress shall have power to provide for the registra tion of citizens entitled to vote and for the conduct of elections. It Is a "force bill" constitutional amendment. No constitutional amendment of which this, is a part will command the neces sary two-thirds vote in Congress- Nor would It, if submitted to the Btates, re ceive the necessary three-fourths vote. Hence It Is apparent that Senator De pew desires to throw obstacles ln the way of popular election of Senators with out coming out openly as an opponent of a measure which unquestionably Is favored bj a majority of the voters of his stite. The Senator argues that, in the event of popular election, a "small oligarchy" this is his phrase in a Southern State where the colored voters have been dis franchised will elect Senators jvnose votes will neutralize the votes of the Senators from the great states where manhood suffrage obtains. Mississippi, casting 55, 000 votes, will neutralize New York, cast ing 1,450,000. This Is a description of present condi tions which will not bo made worse by changing the method of electing Senators. In the states where the colored voters have been disfranchised, a "small oligar chy," meaning the white voters, has for some time elected Senators whose votes have neutralized the votes of New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Ohio. This is regrettable, but It Is not a reason why the voters of the Northern States In ques tion and of other states should be denied an opportunity to elect Senators in a way which, ln their opinion, will give them better Senators. . Senator Depew abhors the "small oli garchy" in the South. Is there no "small oligarchy" in New York which elects United States Senators? There is a strong Inipresslon that there s such an "oli garchy" in that state. In Pennsylvania, and in some other states. It is to be feared that Senator Depew Is not so much afraid of what the "small oligarchy" in Mississippi may do in the event of the election of Senators by the people as he is fearful of what may happen to the "small oligarchy" In his own state.Svhlch would cease to elect Senators If the people were authorized to elect them directly. Many "small olgarchies" are threat ened by the proposed change in the .method of electing Senators. That is why 6o many Senatorial oligarchs see nothing but harm In the change and op pose It openly, or. like Senator Depew, Indirectly by amendment. CATARRHAL DEAFNESS.

Being the oldest ahd largest dealers In the Pacific Northwest, we buy our goads direct from the manu facturers, instead of having them con signed to us, so,w,e carry all our contracts ourselves. Instead of having to send them back to the n&nufacturcrs, and ln this way we can protect our customers with out loss to thcmiln.iase of sickness or out of employmenjJEvcn In prosperous times labor matters ,hae to be adjusted by a suspension of bjlslhe5s, as is the case in Portland today, and here Is where our customers rest a.sy, as they know they will not be dlsturbcS pend'ng a compro mise, while they could not have such as surance were their contracts In the hands of a foreign corporation. This Is why our house has asstlmed puch mammoth pro portions and stands as a bulwark of safe ty to the laboripg classes, who have to take advantage of, Jhe monthly payment plan. If you buy It pf us It Is good. Allen S QilbertCo. Successors to The''$Viley B. Allen Co. 209-211 First S'thftt, Portland, Or. Ail fSK5 1ENT5. MARQUAM GRAND THEATER CALVIN HtlLIG. Manager.
