Reports that the Atlantic- Coast Line has acquired or will acquire control of the Louisville & Nash ville road are emphatically denied by J. P. Morgan & Co. The two interests are said to be working in perfect harmony. Trestle Across Clackamas Bottom to Go. He Is Released on $1500 Ball People Who Saw the Fight May Also Be Arrested. 1-i NEW DOCK SEVEN BLOCKS LONG Improvement Projects of the Oregon "Water Power fc RailTrny Com- pany Work "Will Be Besun Tills "Wcelc The Oregon Water Power & Railway Company Is to "begin Important improve ments on its property immediately. The .new steam-shovel that arrived a few flays ago has been put in condition for service and It will be put at work this week filling the new line at and south of Mllwaukle, thus doing away with three or four trestles, one of which Is tlong. Upon the completion of that work, hvhich will take but a few days, the pteam-shovel will he taken to Gladstone, where a big Job awaits It. Acroes the Clackamas bottom is a tall trestle, reaching from the Clackamas Elver to the limits of Oregon City. It as 30 feet tall in some places and has ialways been an expensive piece of prop erty to maintain, to say nothing of the danger v that most people associate with 6uch elevated roads. That trestle is to Ibe filled and the work will be begun next 'week. The fill will lack much of com dng up to the full height of the trestle, "being for a considerable part of the distance about 10 feet below the present track, but it will be high enough to over top the floods to which the "Willamette "Valley is subject. The trestle was built nine years ago and since then there has never been a flood that came anywhere jiear the top of tho piles. The Southern CPacific track, which parallels the trolley tllne across the Clackamas bottom, is (much lower than the electric-car track and no difficulty has been experienced on that road since the present grade was taiado there. And the trolley line de scends to tho railroad grade where it enters Oregon City, so there is nothing gained by having the trestle away up in the air. The filling of the Clackamas trestle will require about 150,000 cubic yards of earth. Two or three months of time will be consumed In that work, but when It shall be done it will form a substan tial and permanent piece of roadbed and the nerves of timid passengers will not suffer so much wear and tear. This Is one of the improvements that will make .possible and safe better running time between Portland and Oregon City. Another work of importance for which plans and specifications are now being drawn is the building of a wharf seven Tjlocks long on the East Side water-front between ladlson and East Lincoln streets on the property recently acquired In the Interest of this company. About 31S.000 will be spent on this structure. Bulkheads will be erected out "on the wharf-line and they will be filled by earth excavated In building the water front trolley road. The expense will bo materially reduced by carrying on these two enterprises together. All this work will be finished before the end of the year. BURLIXGTOX TO BRING SETTLERS Heavy Movement Expected In Fall Spreads Orcftou Advertising. Charles Young, In charge of the adver tising department of the Burlington route, was In Portland yesterday, looking up matters in connection with his line, lie came in from the North Sunday, and left last evening" to pass through California on his way back to Omaha. Mr. Young raid there were assurances of a hea.'y movement of settlers from Burlington territory to the Pacific North west the coming Fall when the cheap rates will bein effect again. The people are more prosperous than ever before, and are disposed to take this opportunity 'to better their condition and get estab lished in a country where they will have room to expand. "The low rates in September and Oc tober will be west-bound only," said Mr. Young. "You see we are doing every thing we can to get the newcomers to occupy this country. If the people out ,ihere will do their duty by the settlers wo send out they will stay. If we get a proper -welcome they will be glad to take up their homes in this country. If they don't I suppose we shall haul them back East again when a cheap rate is quoted !in that direction." The Burlington Is now giving adequate (representation to Oregon in the descrip tive matter it sends out. Through Its jnumerous agencies it is distributing a igreat deal of the matter prepared by local hoards of trade and similar bodies, end it expects to do more of this. Mr. Young says General Passenger WVgent Francis will be out to Portland in )e few weeks for a visit. ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS ROAD. Articles for a. $0,000,000 Corporation k Filed at Baker City. BAKER CITY, Or.. July 28. Articles of Incorporation were filed here this after noon by the Oregon & Idaho Central Rall iroad.

Fifteen members are in attendance, who came from all parts of the system. It Is not believed HONOR CAPTAIN CLARK. A Committee "Will Be Appointed to Raise the Funds. PORTLAND, July 27. (To the Editor.) Regarding the" testimonial for Captain Clark, of the battleship Oregon, am glad to note the solicitude of "Vox Popull" In this morning's Oregonlan. It shows that someone thinking we were ,asleep has waked up to find- us awake with some thing "doln." " The very proper sugges tion of Mr. F. H. Hopkins, urging that the Council appoint a committee on sub scriptions, admirable as it was and Is, has not been followed up because many prominent and otherwise good citizens did not wish to interrupt Mayor Wil liams, even for a moment, while he is bent down to the har.d task of cleaning out the Augean livery and sale stables which have so long disgraced the city; further, during the heat of Summer many merchants, millionaires and pleth orlcs of different styles. Including attor neysa very liberal and patriotic class, are out of town; further, the Lewis and Clark Exposition promoters are In the field taking In the sltos, followed by the energetic Elks. So It was thought best not to Interfere with either of these pop ular propositions for the time being as they might unconsciously, of course. In tcrefore with us. See? At the same time, I realize it will not do to wait until the harvest has been garnered, leaving us to hand-rake the stubble and what might be left along the hedges and In the fence corners. Now, notwithstanding pros perity, there should be a Jlmlt to press ing people and business men. They have troubles of their own. As a matter of fact, every reader of The Oregonlan who recalls what Clark did with the Oregon will admit that oursIs a noble cause. This is so apparent that we might get out a drastic Injunction forbidding anyone under severe pains and penalties from contributing a red cent to any other cause, and possibly no demurrer would have strength enough to stand a minute before the patriotic people upon whom Clark, of the Oregon, reflected so much undying renown. A few, very few, have suggested waiting for the Legislature. That's dealing In futures against which there are natural and statutory laws. Have wo not waited long enough? There have been two ses sions of the Oregon Legislative Assembly held since Captain Clark sent the name of Oregon whirling all over the world. Not even a measly resolution of thanks was offered. Do you want to run up against a Legislative "hold up?" "Where would you be then? Tracy has filed a caveat only, but has no patent- What's to hinder? It's been done. The people will act If we give them a chance. The Sunday school children of Texas presented Admiral Philip. Commander of the battleship Texas, with a sword; the citizens of Iowa made a gift of a sword to Admiral Robley D. Evans (Fighting Bob); the citizens of Washing ton, D. C, presented a swbrd to Com mander Walnwright (their fellow citi zen), of the Gloucester; Dewey received a JJ10.000 (ten thousand dollar) sword from Congress; his officers and men, gold medals; Vermont gave Dewey a diamond badge; the Union League Club, of New York, did the same; Kansas -presented General Funston with a sword; Arizona did likewise to General Miles, but the great State of Oregon has done nothing for the loveable fighting old tar who bore the name of the state to the front of all Naval history. A practical committee will be appointed as soon as practicable. Then be ready to do vour share. R. W. MITCHELL. WANT TO BE QUEEN. Five Young Lntlic Enter Elks' Car nival Lists.

THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY The "Valley of Dispute" "Sheridan's Ride." Tho beautiful Valley 6f the Shenandoah known in the Army as the "Valley of Dispute" suffered more than any one section of country. A branch of the Bal timore & Ohio Railroad extends south ward through It from Harper's Ferry to Strasburg and from Harrisonburg to Lex ington, with the Southern Railway form ing the connecting link. The Blue Rldg" on the east and the Shenandoah Moun tains on the west, echoed with the roll of artillery and the crack of musketry almost continually during 'C3, '04 and '63. Halltown, Charleston, Summit Point, Winchester, Opequon, Kcrnstown, Middle town, Cedar Creek, Strasburg, Fisher's Hill, Woodstock, Mount Jackson, New Market, Harrisonburg, Cross Keys, Staun ton and Lexington, following each other consecutively down the road, were battle stained over and over. Winchester suffered the most. Cedar Creek was perhaps the fiercest, where Sheridan hecame immortalized In history for his famous ride from Winchester.

Several of the 75 alleged "sports" who arranged the details of the brutal fight In which George W. Baldwin gave Frank Carlson his death blow last Saturday night at Twenty-fourth and NIcolal streets, and especially those tough young men who de clined to allow the fight to be Interrupted until somebody was knocked out or killed it did not matter which to them will probably have a chance to get acquainted with prison life' before long. It was ru mored yesterday that certain people who were too active In the deplorable affair were to be arrested, but when questioned about the matter District Attorney Chim berlaln stated that no warrants had been Issued, and that he did not know if any would be issued". "I am busily engaged making an examination Into the case, and am not certain yet what I shall do," was all that Mr. Chamberlain would say to an Oregonlan reporter when questioned about the subject. In the meantime, George W. Baldwin, who struck the "blows which killed Carlson, has been released on J1500 ball for his ap pearance at court when wanted to answer a charge of manslaughter. He .had a hear ing yesterday before Municipal Judge Hogue, and appeared with one hand ban daged. Ho was accompanied by his father and mother, and the latter, who was dressed in black, Wept during a portion of the proceedings. Deputy District Attor ney Gatens read the charge against Bald win, as follows: "That the defendant, George W. Baldwin, did on the evening of July 26, then and mere uniawiuwy, pur posely and voluntarily engage In a fist fight with one Frank Carlson, and while engaged in said fight, did then and there unlawfully, purposely and voluntarily kill the said Frank Carlson, by then and there striking and beating the said Frank Carl son In and upon the face and body of the said Frank Carlson, with his, the said George W. Baldwin's fists thereby caus ing and inflicting a mortal wound upon the said Frank Carl.on. from which ild mortal wound so inflicted he, the said Frank Carlson, then and there died." "On behalf of this defendant, I wish to waive examination. Attorney Henry E. McGinn and I have been engaged In this case," stated Lawyer A. W. Wolf. "We hope to be allowed to furnish ball for this young man's appearance at court. Mr. Chamberlain, the District Attorney, has Indicated that 51000 ball would be consid ered sufficient." "That Is small ball," remarked Munici pal Judge Hogue. "I have not seen Mr. Chamberlain about the matter yet It will have to be Inves tigated," broke In Mr. Gatens. "The court Is willing to place the ball at a reasonable sum," remarked the Judge. A conference was then held at his office by District Attorney Chamberlain, who stated that he thought $1500 bail ought to be asked. The necessary bond was fur nished by J. H. Peterson, logger, and W. J. Streiblg, drayman, and a few minutes later Baldwin was at liberty to go with his father and mother. Ho signed a receipt lh the police station for 54 the police returned to him. This money was v found In his pockts at the time of the arrest. Baldwin had nothing to soy, and he and his parents boarded a Washington-street trolley car for home. "Was It a PrlzeflKhtr There was a difference of opinion yester day whether the fight In which Carlson lost his life was really a prikeflght, in the true sense of the word, but the ma jority of people thought it.waa Webster defines a prizefight as follows: "An exhi bition contest, especially one of pugilists, for a stake or wager." Now, William Baldwin, father of the young man who has Just been admitted to ball, swore'on the witness-stand at the Coroner's in quest that he had bet $1 with Frank Carl son that his son, George W. Baldwin, would be the victor In the fight. Carlson deposited a like amount with some stake holder. Therefore. It Is argued, asj the fight was for a stake. It was a prizefight. Section 1SS0 of Hill's "Annotated Laws of Oregon" says: "Any person or per sons arranging or attempting to arrange, or engaging or offering to engage In, a prizefight to be fought within the limits of this state, or otherwise, in any manner, either as princlal. second, assistant, stake holder, trainer, referee, alder, abettor, so licitor or agent, whether said fight shall tako place or not. shall, upon conviction thereof, be imprisoned In the Peniten tiary not less than one year nor more than five years, or by a fine of not less than $1000 nor more than $5000. ... It shall also be the duty of every Circuit Judge, on charging any grand Jury, to read this act to said grand Jury, and It shall be the duty of said grand Jury to dili gently Inquire after any violations of the provisions of tfcla act." Carlson Got the "VVorxt of It. Sworn evidence taken in the case so far shows that other persons than George W. Baldwin Jumped on and kicked Carlson; that one, of Carlson's brothers was pre vented from going to the dying young man's assistance by some of tho crowd, who held him; that nearly the whole crowd, about 75 persons, more or less, mannged the details of the fight, and urged Baldwin to "do" his man; -and that Will iam Baldwin, somo little time after the fight started, gave orders how It should be conducted, and acted as referee. Public opinion seems to be against Will iam Baldwin .for the part he took In the fatal fight. In supporting his pugilistic son and in backing him with money. Not the Mnalcian. Professor Ernst Spltzner. the violinist. desires to announce that he Is not the Ernest Spltzner who was among the wit nesses of the fatal prizefight Saturday night. PERSONAL MENTION. J. S.

' The cashier of one of the Brooklyn banks has been pondering over a problem In morals this week. For 10 years now great sums of money have passed through his hands and reposed in his care day after day, and they have been as so much hay to him. He has heard of defaulters and wondered. He never could under stand this temptation and he walked in the pride ind complacence of an honest man. Last Sunday the cashier was seat ed with his dog on trie bank of the stream that winds through Prospect Park, when a boat crowded with children and rowed by a park attendant passed slowly by. The children were shouting and laughing. They hillooed for no other rea son than to hear the sound of their own voices. The attendant, pulling doggedly at the oars, seemed annoyed by the clam or. Suddenly one of the boys lost his rubber ball overboard. The children pointed to It, bobbing In the wake of the boat, and begged the min to turn back and get ft, but he kept a surly silence and rowed on. "There Is your chance," said the cash ier to the dog, "go get tho ball." Tho dog plunged In. and, swimming out to midstream, caught the ball In his mouth. He turned to follow the boat, but findlni; that he could not overtake It, re turned to the bank and dropped the ball at his mister's feet. The cashier picked It up and looked Indolently after the re ceding boat. He supposed the boys would feel Its loss. Perhaps he onght to run along the bank and throw it to them. It was something of an exertion to do this, and, besides, the ball would make a pleasant plaything for the dog. However, he got up, and. making a cut across a point, met the boat as It turned at the bend. "Here's your ball," he called. The boys saw him, and stood up, hold ing out their hands. He threw It. and It was safely caught. As he turned away he heard a chorus of childish voices thanking him. "You're all right!" "Say. mister, you're a dandy, you are!" and then, after the clamor had subsided, came this, from the owner of the ball, a very small boy, who piped In a voice of hearty condescension: "Say, mister, you're an honest man." This phrase caught the cashier's ear and led him Into deep meditation and he has not been so sure of himself since the temptation of the ball. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Bonding: Permit.

SM-5-C-7 Falling bulldlnjr! Was Entitled jto a Seat. Chicago Chronicle. The other day on an elevated train In New York a small boy stood before a huge pile of newspapers that occupied one of the seats. He was sorting them and dropping a package upon each sta tion as It was reached for the news-stand located there. The car was crowded and seats at a, premium. A fussy old man watched the boy for a time. Then he touched him on the shoul der and said In a loud and arrogant man ner: "See here; my son, what right have you to keep those papers on that seat when passengers are compelled to stand up?" The boy looked up and politely said: "Do you object to my having the papers on. the seat?" "I certainly do," said theman. "I have A mammoth list of Paper Covered Novels at 10c copy.

Looking up t the man he said quietly: "I paid my fare, too, and I guess this seat belongs to me." FnvorlnRT Wllltimette Helffhts. PORTLAND, July 2S. (To the Editor.) Whatever site Is chosen for the Lewis and Clark Exposition, It will boom prop erty all over the city. I cannot see how It can make property any more valuable by being near the fair. At any rate, such considerations should not enter the mind of any right-minded citizen. Inmy esti mation the fair should be so situated as to make the best Impression on our vis itors, for It Is they that we want, not only to visit but to locate here. All the large hotels, as well as The Oregonlan, Marquam and other big buildings, are on the West Side. The majority of our visitors will live on the West Side while in the city. If the City Park cannot bo made available, the Willamette Heights tract is an Ideal site. The city is not fo large that it cannot be easily renched from all parts. It will be putting our best foot forward, as every time they vltlt It tney must pass through our beautiful Nob Hill part of the city. Any one who has stood on the heights after the city is lighted and seen a never-to-be-forgotten sight, or by day, the beautiful view, will agree that it Js the most artistic site the city offers. The .lake. -which can be made with small expense so beautiful, adds much to this site. It Is the best site offered, and will doubtless be chosen, as both the people and those that have the matter In hand seem to be very enthusiastic over the site. FRANK WILSON.
