HAMMOND'S NEW SCHEME
SAID TO BE! ARRANGING DEAL FOR
TRANSCONTINENTAL LINE.
Getting Rid of Astoria Railroad a,
Preliminary Step Plan for
Wings at the Coast.
A. B. Hammond has gone East, and It
Is said his mission is to sell the Astoria
&. Columbia River Railroad on terras that
ncre submitted some time ago. No of
ficial authorization of. this statement Is
mede In any quarter, but a. few shrewd
railroad observers read this story in cer
tain developments or tendencies In Pacific
Coast railroad projects. They say Mr.
Hammond desires to get rid Of the As
toria llnc'ln order to be free to turn his
energies in another direction, namely, to
operate with Mr. Harriman for the con
struction of a transcontinental line to
Humboldt Bay. It is presumed that the
Astoria Railroad will fall to the Harri
man interests, and that the transaction
will form the bridge to a new deal by
-vhich Mr. Hammond will get the sup
port he desires for the transcontinental
line to Humboldt Bay or to Port Orford.
That, it Is said, is at the bottom of the
talk about a line to cross the Southern
Pacific at Redding and extend across the
country to Boise or to a connection Tvlth
the Great Northern at Butte.
It is believed not 'to be in contemplation
oiow to build the road by way of Redding.
Another railroad enterprise has entered
the field the Oregon. & Pacific, -which is
surveying a line between Grant's Pass and
Crescent City. Cal. This, it Is Intimated,
Is a part of Hammond's scheme to span
the mountains and deserts between Butte
and Eureka.
2n an interview in Portland about a year
ago Mr. Hammond admitted the feasibility
of a railroad skirting the ocean between
San Francisco and the mouth of the Co
lumbia, but he said such a scheme would
be for the remote future and could have
no immediate -bearing on the development
of the country. Those who have watched
the course of affairs since then have
noted the increasing desirability of a rail
road along considerable stretches of the
coast, and since the Butte-Eureka line
.has been talked of Mr. Hammond has been
credited with the design of a transcon
tinental road that shall have wings spread
out for it at the coast. That is, for ex
ample, that the Butte-Eureka line shall
find at Humboldt Bay feeders reaching
north and south into the heavy timber re
sources of Oregon and California, and also,
perhaps, an entrace over the southern
arm into San Francisco. The possibilities
of the scheme are great.
It does not appear that Mr. Hammond's
actions have any bearing upon the pro
ject for a railroad between Salt Lake City
-and Coos Bay, except that it might tend
to frighten timid investors, who might
be afraid that two transcontinental roads
through that region might be overdoing
the matter. Chief Engineer Kinney, of
the Great Central, was asked yesterday
-what effect Mr. Hammond's movement
would have on his enterprise, and he said
ahe did not know that they would have
any effect. He said there -was plenty of
room In that country for two railroads or
more, and If Mr. Hammond wanted to
build a line there, he should feel like giv
ing him every encouragement. But he
bald he had no knowledge of Mr. Ham
mond s plans'.
It is evident that Pacific Coast railroad
plans are watched wlth the greatest in
terest just now in New Tork, and unusual
activity in this field is expected before the
end of the year.
BOUGHT ALL THE RECORDS.
Tnipn.ua, River Railroad Survey Goes
to Grct Central.
When Secretary Steel, of theUmpqua
River Railroad Company, visited the office
of the Great Central Railroad Company
yesterday to ascertain how records of bis
railroad survey had come into possession
of the new corporation, he met a surprise.
He found that Chief Engineer Kinney, of
the Great Central, was a man whom bo
knew and had great respect for, and that
the records-had been transferred In a le
gitimate manner. Mr. Steel still retained
material parts, however, the field notes
among others, and before he left the of
fice a bargain was made.wlth him for that
data also. So now the Great Central has
the complete record of the Umpqua River
Railroad survey from Drain, not only to
ScottSburg, but clear through to East
3Iarshfield. And the transaction was at
tended with the best of feeling on both
sides.
Orders for something like $20,000 of sup
plies, including hardware and commissary
stores, haw been placed with Portland
merchants, and most of them are already
packed and marked for shipment to Coos
Bay. This, is the initial order for starting
operations In the field the construction
operations.
The Great Central Land Company was
organized yesterday by the election of J.
"W. Cook, president; T. C. Devlin, treas
urer, and John K. Kollock, secretary. All
the $23,000 of stock was taken. The Board
of Directors at the first meeting author
ized the purchase of a large tract of land
at Coos Bay, but Its exact location was
Tiot revealed. It is said that this com
pany will deal extensively In land in con
nection with the Great Central Railroad
project.

of the Harriman lines for the promotion
of immigration to the state were explained
to the board and its co-operation asked
in supplying descriptive pamphlets to sup
plement that of general import which the
railroads issue in the furtherance of their
immigration plans. It was decided by the

tour of the Yellowstone National .Park
the trip was continued over the Northern
Pacific to the Coast. The cities of Puget
Sound were visited, on both sides of the
international boundary, and, Portland was
reached late Tuesday night. The visit
ors spent yesterday driving about Port'
land, and all were so pleased with the
city that they expressed a desire to come
here to live. They found It quite differ
ent from what they had been led to ex
pect. They did not hesitate to make
comparison with Puget Sound cities, to
the great advantage of Portland.
"It has been several years since I was
In Portland," said Mr. Morton, before
leaving for San Francisco last night,
"and I find It quite refreshing and In
forming to get out here and look things
over again. This trip Is entirely for rest
and pleasure. The ladles and gentlemen
who are with me are delighted beyond
words with Portland, and I am sure they
will return here for a longer visit at the
first opportunity. The Industrial possi
bilities of this country are Immense, and
we are looking for vastly increased actlv-H
lty in the near future."
JThe party left on last evening's train
for San Francisco, from which point It
will return East In a few days by way
of Salt Lake City.

The Spring-wntcr Trolley Line.
J.-N. Davis, who secured the rights of
way for the proposed Gresham and
Sprlngwater branch of the Oregon Water
Power & Railway Company's lines, says
that a car will roll into Portland by
gravity from the headwaters of John
son Creek. There Is a gentle Incline all
the way to the Willamette River at Sell
wood. From there to the terminal grounds
the route will follow the river, and there
will bo a considerable cut along the side
of the bluff. With such a moderate
grade, the cost of building the railway
will not be heavy. The road will tap the
richest farming section of Multnomah
County Powell's Valley. The route fol
lows the general course of Johnson Creek,
through Pleasant "Valley to Gresham, cut
ting through a portion of the farm of
W. W. Cotton. Just before reaching
Gresham the line will pass through a
checkerboard of fine farms. Gresham is
the center of a wide farming district
that is highly prosperous.

j TO NAME SITE FOR FAIR
LEWIS AND CLARK DIRECTORS
WILL MEET TODAY.
Report of Executive Committee Rec
ommending: City Park to Be Con
sidered Ross Island Is Offered.
At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon the board
of directors of the Lewis and Clark cor
poration will meet at 246 Washington
street for the purpose of considering the
report from the executive committee rec
ommending the City Park as", a site for
the Lewis and Clark Exposition It Is
understood that the selection of a rite will
be made at this meeting. All the sites
for which offers were made when the
question was first opened several months
ago are still In the field, and all are ex
pected to be ably represented at today's
meeting. Under the rule adopted bj the
board last Friday, only two spokesmen
may be heard for any one site.
Of the eight sites presented, seven are
expected to be urged before the board to
day. Mr. Willis' offer of the Guild Lake
GENERAL GEORGE W. DAVIS
aP JaaHaaaMaBiBaaHHKc&ftt .?A j)fL mB0KBKBBSL'r3BjKimm-Uk
WHO SUCCEEDS GENERAL CHAFFEE IN COM3IAND OF THE PHILIPPINES.
site is not expected to be contlrfued be- J
fore the board, because In his offer Mr. J
Willis said he did not himself believe it ,
a proper site for the Fair. The others
are the City View Park at Sellwood, the j
nawmorne tract, tne iove tract, norm
west of Woodlawn; two at University
Park, the Abrams and Knox tract and
the City Park. John Kiernan has ex
pressed a willingness to jll Ross Inl
and to the city If it should desire that
island for a fair site.
There Is no prospect that combinations
will be effected so as to eliminate any of
the seven sites from consideration. The
Sellwood people will not Join forces with
the East Side Improvement Association
for Hawthorne Park, and it Is said each
of the other sites wllPhavc independent
representation. If the vote shall take the
form of eliminating sites from considera
tion until but one shall be left, it Is said
there may be combinations.' But the
whole matter remains to be arranged to
day, and nobody has a definite idea of the
manner In which the business will "be
handled. There is assurance on the part
of the directors that every site will re
ceive fair consideration, but, after all, the
responsibility for the selection must rest
upon the board, and not with those who
present the bids.
Ross Island contains about 300 acres. If
desired by the board, Mr. Kiernan says he
will submit the figure at which he would
be willing to sell the property to the city.
He writes to the b5ard as follows:
This property consists of two Islands, contain
ing 300 acres. In the Willamette River, about
midway between its banks, and about a mile
south of the Madison-street bridge.
It Is susceptible of being made a park of
most superior attractions, whither people will
irresistibly flock In large numbers, both during
and after the fair. It can be ornamented and
beautified at small expense, so as to supply it
with boulevards, drles, walks, lagoons, lake,
groves and the thousand and one other attrac
tions that so to make up delightful public
grounds. Earth for constructing embankment?,
drives and other artificial objects, water for all
purposes and natural trees for constructing for
ests, rroi'es and other ornamental objects can
be found In abundance right on the premises.
All the conditions are present in these Islands
for Ideal exposition crounds. at less expense
than at any other locality in the City of Port
land. When the grounds are no looser required
for the great exposition, most all of the crea
tions for that event can be utilized by the City
of Portland for a park of such srace and at
traction and surpaslng beauty as will draw to
It the whole people of the city and the sojourn
ers therein.
The writer believes only one unfavorable
criticism can be fairly made against the Islands
as a site for the great fair, ar.d that Is the
present difficulty of access only communica
tion by water belnr now available. But to
build a bridge from the west shore to the foot
of tho main Island, and from there to the main
land on the east side, would be neither djffl
cult nor expensive, and would only be antici
pating an event that must occur In the very
near future to accommodate the great commer
cial Interests and constantly increasing traffic
of the southern portion of the city. With the
bridge as herein suggested, the Islands would
be easier of access than any locality yet named
for the fair.
British Horse Cnnip to Reopen. '
NEW ORLEANS, July It The British
transport service, which for many months
conducted an active trade at Port'Chal
mette, is to reopen its camp there for
the shipments of horses, mules and cat
tle to South Africa. It is found that theS
American animals are the hardiest for
the veldt work, and the British Govern
ment will need a greater number "under
Its agreement of restocking the farms of
the burghers who suffered in the recent
war. The officers are now on the way,
and the camp will be reopened Immedi
ately upon their arrival.
Safety From Volcanic Oatbnrstn.
NEW YORK. July 16. Dr. Edward Otis
Hovey and Professor George Carroll Cur
tis, who have been in St. Vincent and
Martinique, the former representing the
American Museum of Natural History,
and the latter the United -States Geo
graphical Survey, In the Investigation of
the volcanic outbursts .in the Inlands, have
returned to New York.
"By building large houses of solid ma
sonry Into which the people could flee for
refuge. I think the most serious dangers
ifrom possible subsequent eruptions could
be minimized, both in St. Vincent and St.
Pierre," said Professor Curtis. "In Or
ange Hill, St. Vincent, ISO people were
saved by rushing into a cellar so situated
that they were protected against the vol
canic blast, which Is proof that similar
protection can be provided by the authori
ties against future eruptions."
TOFORM NEWWHITECHAPEL
Resorts Are Prepared for Fallen
Women of FourtuStreet. .
- There was some little' speculation last
night In various quarters as to where
the new Whitechapel Is to be located, now
that the occupants of all disorderly houses
on ground floors, bounded by the river,
Gllsan. Fourth and Ash streets, have
moved, by order of the police. No new
houses are specially .being- built for them
at nresent, but in various Fourth-street
two-story resorts, stairs are being built
by the owners to conform to an under
standing with the authorities that people
of the class referred to can rent eecond
story rooms, and will not be InteYfered
with, so long as there is no flagrant
breach of the peace. A great many of the
dens are one-story frame buildings, and
are practically valueless to the present
lessees, who cannot now rent them. Near
ly a dozen people have these white ele-
phants on a two or three years lease, and
the landlords, 'It Is stated, will cdmpcl
tbclr tenants to live up to the conditions
of the lease, in each case, and pay tne
rent, whether the rooms are rented or
not. , .
A big red-light room!ng-house, contain
ing ISO rooms, 'is nclng prepared for scar
let women., on Third street, near Davis.
Mayor Williams, In the course of his in
vestigations along Whitechapel. yester
day, called and looked over thl3 resort,
but It le not known what took place at
the Interview between His Honor and the
proprietor.. There are three entrances to
this resort from thjee different,, streets,
and suites of-roams are being turned into
single rooms, .by lpcklng communicating
doors. Electric bells have been placea
there, at a cost of $175, and there is a
saloon in full swing downstairs. The
manager freely discussed his plans for the
future of this house, with an Oregonian
reporter, last night-and stated that he is
to employ a special officer' to keep order.
It Is calculated that more than 150 disor
derly women have left Portland for As
toria and Seattle, since Mayor Williams
Issued his edict against conditions in
Whitechapel. But at 'the same time there
are more than 400 of these unfortunates
left In the city, and a great many of them
have scattered here and there. In differ
ent apartment and rooming-houses. They
ply their trade openly in the streets, along
Fourth, Fifth and portion of Seventh and
Taylor streets. Tafklng on the latter as
pect of the qucslion last night, a police
official stated that If these women persist
In parading the streets, and refuse to stay
out of sight, they will be arrested and
cither fined or Imprisoned.

SALMON PACK IS ' LARGE
TOTAL CATCH ON COLUMBIA RIVER
IS 150,000 CASES.
Ren Is Better Than Last Year Up to
the Corresponding Time-Distribution
of the Pack.
This season's salmon pack on the Co
lumbia River so far amounts to about
115,000 cases. Storage plants .have put up
about 2000 tierces of chjnook salmon, and
have packed about 400 tons of stcelbeads,
the equivalent of about 40.000 cases of
packed product In pound cans. The total
catch of salmon In the Columbia River
this year Is therefore estimated to be the
equivalent of about 150.000 cases. These
figures come from good authority, and are
believed to be approximately correct.
The run of salmon this year has been
much better than It -was last year up to
tho corresponding time. The actual sal
mon pack is larger, but a greater Increase
in output is shown by the storage plants,
which have an output at least 50 per cent
larger than at this time last year. The
run of steelheads has been better than for
several years, and has greatly profited the
storage men. Traps and glllnets are at
present catching the 'most fish, while
seines are not doing so well as earlier in
the month. Gillnctters, on the whole,
have had a good season.
Last year's cannery pack amounted to
about 223,000 cases. A large part of this
was put up after July 19, when the big
run began. If a big run should start In
now, the canneries "wpuld have a much
larger output than last season. The sal
mon average good size, although they
came in small early in the season. Prices
are 5 cents a pound for small fish, and 6
cents for large. The Llndenburgers have
been paying 8 cents off and on. but lately
have come down to the lower figures. The
higher prices they paid has Increased the
size of their pack.
The following figures indicate the distri
bution of the pack. They are not abso
lutely correct and are meant to give only
an approximate Idea of the extent of the
pack. The total figures may be taken as
about correct:
Columbia River Packers Association 40.000
Co-operative 11.500
Pillar Rock : 8.000
Sanborn-Cuttlng 9 000
Booth s'ooo
Megler '. 5,500
Warren (Cnthlairiet) 9,000
Warren (Cascades) 10,000
McGowan (Chinook) 6.000
McGowan (Cascades) 65.000
Total .114,500
The largest packs In tierces are those of
the Columbia River ack'ers' and of F.
M. Warren, each havin? about TOO tierces.
The total pack is about 2000 tiercc3. which,
at an average of G50 pounds each, aggre
gates two tons. The largest cold-storage
pack of steelheads Is that of F. M. Warren.
It amounts to about 250 tons.
Street-Cars Collide.
CHICAGO. July 16. A Wcntworth-ave-nue
car, earning 100 passengers, and a
Thlrty-first-strect car, with 50 passengers,

running at a rapid rate. Nearly every
passenger tin the smaller car, which was
knocked from the track, was cut or
bruised, but the most serious Injury was a
broken elbow, sustained by a woman pas
enger. That several passengers were not
killed Is considered remarkable.

July
Piano Bargains
We started out to make July one of the busiest of
the year by offering such terms and prices to al
most compel people to buy. If trade continues
through the month as it has so far. It will be one
of the largest month's business we have ever had.
People know a good thing when they see it, and the
following prices are what brings the trade:
Rerolar Price $400, $375, $350, $325, $300, $275, 5250
Special Price $318, $296, $284, $254, $238, $225, $196
We have some sample Pianos at $200. $22$ and $23S
that are worth $100 more money, and some good second-hand
ones, at from $40 to $100. Remember, we
have the finest line and largest stock of any house
In the Pacific Northwest. No stained cases, with cel
luloid keys, in our line. All contracts or leases are
held by us, thus securing safety In case of sickness
or out of employmentj
