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.

Railroad Fight In Salt Lake City.
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

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.

About the middle of last month Mrs.
Gelger went to one of; the sisters at SL
Vincents Hospital and asked to be pror
moted a grade as. nurse. The sister, after
asking a few questions, came to the con. ,
elusion that Mrs. Gelger was not proflr
promotion Just then, arid told the nurse
to study for two weeks more, and then
come back. Sunday, April 27, Mrs." Gelger
applied to the sister for examination. The
sister, who was busy at the time, asked
Mrs. Gelger If she knew her drugs?
"Not quite all." was the answer.
"Then go and study and I will hear
you later,' replied the slsfer.
Apparently offended, Mrs. Geigec went
to her room, put on a neat black walking

R SPECIAL SAL
OF
SAMPLE
PIANOS
IS A "WINNER
"We placed on sale Monday a number of
sample pianos that bad been sent us for
inspection from good, reliable factories,
ag we lld not care to add any more makes
to our already extensive stock. These
pianos are In every way up-to-date, with
,all modern Improvements, and such as a
good many big houses are pushing as lead
ers, but for" reasons as above stated we
are closing them out at about factory cost,
together with some Odd styles of our reg
ular stocks. It Is needless to say thev
arp going fast, so If you want one you
will have to get around soon. "UTien wp
advertise a special the people realize It Is
a iipeclal, and riot a scheme to get pros
pective piano customers. While they last
they go at the following prices;
fiOO styles will go at $318.
5350 styles jvlil go at $268.
$323 styles will go at ?246.
$200 'stales will go at 522C
$273 styles will go at $1SC.
$250 stj-les Will go at $163.
Our easy payment plan applies to these
the same as our regular line, and right
here we want5 to say why It Is popular
with the people. 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.
