NEW PORTAGE ROAD
0(i Ofegon Side of Columbia
at The Dalles.
AN IMPORTANT RAILROAD MOVE
Company Incorporated With Author
ized Capital ot $500,000 May
Form Part of Line to Town
ot Dufur, Wasco County.
THE UAliL.ES Or., Aug! 7. (Special)
Articles of '""incorporation were filed
today In the County Clerk's olllce
lor a company to "build a rail
road between Tho Halles :and Biggs,
Sherman County, the terminus ot
the Columbia Southom. The right-of-way
sought Is via the Seufert ranch up Five
ZUlle to the' intersection of Ten Mile
CreelC thence Up Ten Mile Creek to the
Cooper ranch . and across to the bench
land above Celllo on to ilnd across the
Deschutes above the old sillier Bridge
property- 'The incorporators, are "Walter
H. Moore, of Moro: E. M. Williams and
Jos. T. Petore, of this city, and the capi
tal stock Is $500,000. .
With this road comploted It is expected
that not only tho wool business, which
has been lnterccepted at Shanlko by the
Columbia Southern, but a large proportion
of the grain business of Sherman County,
will be restored to The Dalles, its form
er market, where it will meet the compe
tition of water transportation.
MAY MBAX 11AILKOAD FIGHT.
XjOoIck Like Menace to O. It. Jc 7i. in
Interest of Columbia Southern.
For a number of days there have been
mysterious operations at The Dalles and
at Biggs, looking, apparently, to the secur
ing of railroad terminals at the two places.
It now appears that those steps were pre
liminary to formal -organization . of tho
new company. '".: . .- .'
An independent railroad on the line In
dicated In Tho Dalles dispatch will serve
two purposes. , It will admit the traffic of
tho Columbia Southern Railroad to freo
water in tho Columbia -at The Dalles, and
it will sorve as a portage railroad past
tho, junnavlgablp6trctch of. the Columbia
below Celllo Tails. It will' he able to do
Just .what the Paul F. Mbhr road was de
signed to do. - . ,
This jiew movo may bo against tho O.
R. & N. and in the interest of the Colum
bia Southern, jo.r it may be In -thp Interest
of the 0.'Ri-&"K.Tiirf that1t would1 repre
sent a movo counter to the recent acqui
sition of the Mohr portage railway prop
erty by the Northern Pacific The wolght
)f appearances, however, is, that It Is
against the O. R. & N. and In the Interest
of tho Columbia Southern, because the
Cv R. & N. could very easily convert its
present track 'into a portage if it should
ever "desire such service.
Tho proposed line would run along the
O. R. & N. track for a distance of about
threo miles easterly from The Dalles.
Then It would break back into the. interior
and traverse a pass between Fifteen-Mile
Creek and the Deschutes River, coming
out to the O. R. & N. again a few miles
from Biggs. At Biggs it is presumed con
nection will bo made with tho Columbia
Southern, and the meaning of, such con
nection ia clearly that tho O. R. & N.
cannot continue to command' the traffic of
the Columbia Southern, which is now tied
absolutely to the O. R. & N. AriQ if the
relations of the two companies are cuch
as .to make Interchange ot traffic undesira
ble. It is: dnly one' step farther to make
them , active compotltors. which feature
would bring out the full significance of
the. new railroad aa a portage past the
dalles of the Columbia. .
The O. -R. & N. Co. does not 'now own
the stock of the Columbia Southern. It
.dogs, own thc'sbonds 9 the. little road, but
that'.gltfes tlie- big company no control
over the policy of the little one long a3
the Interest on the bond is met promptly.
The Columbia-Southern has been earning
"a surplus ever since it began, and there
Is no prospect of a default in Its payment
of interest. Such default would have the
effect .of throwing the property Into the
hands of the O. R. & Is. The new railroad
movo Is full of significance, arid it prom
ises to mako activity In tfcat field for
some time.

rate situation developed Into a state of
open war today, when the Santa Fe gave
notice that, beginning next Monday, It
would carry livestock between Chicago &
Kansas City for 12 cents per 100 pounds.

house products and dressed meats. The
full purpose of the Santa Fe is not dis

affect the tariff from points far west of
Kansas City to Chicago, as the rates
from all interior points "will be no moro
ihan the through rato to Chicago. Other
lines from Kansas City, to get livestock
business to Chicago, will have to meet
the Santa Fe cut, and under the rulings
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
these competing lines will be compelled
to make the same; rate from other points

BIDS FOR GOVERNMENT TRAFFIC.
Bond-Aided Railways to Have Com
petition From Other Lines.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 7. Secretary of
War Root has made a ruling on the dis
tribution of transcontinental military
business of an unusual character. The
Government in the past has sent all its
business over bond-aided roads when con
ditions were jequal, and the Central Pa
cific, coming under this head, has carried
about all of the business. To this other
transcontinental roads have objected, and
Secretary Root has decided that bids will
be received on military business, all go
ing to the lowest bidder. "When the con
ditions are equal, or nearly Jjo, the Cen
tral Pacific will receive two-thirds and
competing roads the remainder.

but it came back again and again, and
for six long years I have suffered more
misery and agony than I can tell. It was
worse than death. My husband spent hurt
oxeds of dollars for' physicians prescrip

ly we moved to Bosque County, our pres
ent home, and one day I happened to see
an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a
testimonial of a, man who had been cured
by It. The case was so similar to my
own that I concluded to try the remedy.
The result was wonderful. I could hardly
realise that I was well again, pr-Jnleve
it could be so after having suffered so
long, but that one bottle pf medicine,
costing but a few cents, cured me." For

Moderate Terms.

was put to the test at the closing session

handled by the Vatican and the Adminis
tration. When a motion on the substi
tute was put there was but one affirma
tive vote, and that one was Keating's.
The convention then adopted the follow
ing resolution:
"We hereby express confidence that

ernment on the position attained In the
negotiations regarding the questions which
have arisen ,in tho Philippines, and we
express our fullest confidence that these

cal and lay delegates, in particular by
Father O'Reilly, the Augustlnlan friar,
who called 4ipon President Roosevelt some
time ago, as representative of the order,

Nejrro Christian Convention.
ATLANTA, Ga.. Aug. 7. Strong ad
dresses delivered by prominent leaders of
the race made Interesting today's session
of the Negro Young People's Christian
and Educational Congress. One feature
of the day-was the reading of a letter of
regret from President Roosevelt, who
said:
"I very, much regret that it will not be
possible for mo to attend but I take
pleasure in sending to tho congress greet
ings and best wishes for Its success In
inculcating In the young people ot your
race principles of right thinking, of un
sworvlng Integrity and of thoroughness
In whatever part they may take In the
world's work."
At this morning's session "The Rolig
lous Life of the Race" was the general
theme, with addresses by Rev. H. M.
Williams, of Sherman, Tex.; Rev. A. C.
Garner, of Washington, D. C. and others.
Tho "Contribution of the North to the
Religious Development of the Race" was
the next subject discussed.
STRUGGLE FOR TRADE.
America and Germany Advancing;
Faster Than Britain.
LONDON, Aug. 7. Tho struggle for
trade forms the subject of a report by
the commercial department of tho Board
of Trade just issued, in which exhaustive
statistics are given,' comparing the popu
lation and commerce of Great Britain
with those of her principal business com
petitors, the United States and Germany.
and the conclusion reached is that Amer
ica and Germany, owing to their greater
Increase In population, are traveling up-
wara more rapiaiy tnan urcat Britain.
If peace is maintained, says the official
report, both the United States and Ger
many are certain to Increase the rate of
their upward rqovement and their compe
tition with Great Britain In neutral mar
kets and probabiy even In home markets
will become Increasingly serious.
The Dally News, discussing tho decline
In exports and the increase in imports
revealed by tho report of the Bureau of
Statistics at Washington, thinks this con
dition Is simply an incident of the grow
ing prosperity of the United States and
shows tho greatly Increased home de
mands of that country. Tha paper says
this Increase is possibly alaa stimulated
by the Invasion of European trade. The
United States has awakened and recap
tured some of Its lost business, says tho
paper, but It would be a great mistake for
Great Britain or Eyrope to relax for one
moment Us efforts to compete with its
great American rival, which Is ever gath
ering strength.
LITTLE LEFT OF LONDON & GLOBE.
More Thnn $100,000,000 Lost to, the
British Investors.""
LONDON, Aug. 7. The official receiver
announces that he has Issued summonses
against Whitaker Wright and Robert Le
mal to recover $750,000 In connection with
sharo transactions between the British
American Corporation and the failed Lon
don. & Globe Finance Corporation, Ltd
In the same report tha receiver says
that for the present it Is not proposed to
prosecute the directors of the London &
Globe for malfeasance.
The city, however. Is' displaying the
deepest Interest In the London & Globo
group of companies, and the demand that
the public prosecutor act Is Increasingly
Ijnslstent. A special petition hasbeen clr-
cutuiuib uii uro piuui iutuantje una signeu
by many Influential men demanding tho
prosecUUbn of Whitaker Wright, and It Is
considered that the credit of the city and
the Stock Exchange demands a thorough
investigation o'f the London & Globe meth
ods of finance. Probably the full extent
of the money lost to the public by the
company will never be known, but financial
experts now estimate It at upwards of
5100,000,000.
The flotations for which Wright was
responsible aggregate 41, with the enor
mous capital of (llL77a,000, and With few
exceptions all these comndnies ara either
in liquidation, have been absorbed or are
defunct What the shareholders will re
cover from the crash may be imagined
