tfHE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY. JANUARY 17, 1903. TRAFFIG MEN MEET Tell Tales of Travel Their Banquet. at RALLY FOR MUTUAL INTEREST J. Roche Addresses the Gathering on Objects of the Association William Harder Speak on Fu ture of North Pacific Coast. Over 75 members of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic Agents gathered at the Commercial Club last evening a't a general meeting, which was followed by a banquet. These traffic agents were from all parts of the Coast, from San Francisco to Spokane. The association is divided Into three districts, one embracing the territory north of Ashland, the second the territory between Ashland and Bakersfield. and the third south of Bakersfield. These three districts meet in annual convention at Ashland every February, and ths meet ing last night was composed principally of members In the first district. The As sociation was formed In 1D01, with the Idea of social betterment for the members. During the first part of thje evening tho members held a meeting devoted to busi ness, at which A. L. Craig, general pas senger agent of the O. R. & N. Co.; H. M Adams, assistant general passenger agent of the O. R. & N. Co.. and TV. B. Comin, general passenger and freight agent of the Southern Pacific, delivered short ad dresses. After the adjournment of the preliminary meeting the members con vened in the dining-rooms, around tables spread out with tempting fare. The first speech on the programme was by M. J. Roche, of the Denver & Rio Grande office in this city, president of the association. Mr. Roche said: Objects of the Association. "February 22, 1901. was organized the Pacific Association of Traffic Agents. As the mighty oak from the little acorn grows, so has the little gathering of good fellows at Ashland grown into the most formidable association of railroad men the Pacific Coaet has ever known. Alraady we have made ourselves felt and secured the recognition of our superior officers. So far we have accomplished much, but the end is not yet, for we will not stop until we have outstripped all similar organ izations and are looked upon as the fore most association of traffic men In the country. "The Pacific Association of Traffic Agents Is social, fraternal and educational Jn character. We have for our objects the promotion of closer friendships be tween our members, the securing of our mutual advantage, and the furtherance of the Interests of our respective com panies. What could tend more to the cementing of friendships than these oc casional gatherings? What could tend more to our mutual advantage than thus meeting together and ascertaining what we can do for one another? What could tend more to the furtherance of the In terests of our respective companies than meeting as we do tonight and dlacusslng the various topics pertaining to the voca tion we follow? There Is much we all have to learn, and how can we learn that much more thoroughly than by the Interchange of thought and the absorption of Ideas and opinions expressed by those who have had the experience? "It has been proposed that we enlarge the scope of our. organization so that It may be placed upon an even more solid foundation. While we have laid aside our swaddling-clothes and are no longer lit the Infant class, yet we have not as yet attained our full growth. When we have it will not be necessary for anyone to make the slightest semblance of an apology for existence. "Among other things it has been sug gested that our association be made bene ficial as well as fraternal and educational In character. I hope thla will be done, tor then we will be in a position to see that our sick are nursed and our dead burled. It is a fitting thing to do, and the expense would be light If we but conalder how our association is growing in membership. "So far our annual gatherings have been, to a certain extent, only social in char acter, but features will in the future be added that will make these yearly meet ings something more. Dur next meeting will be held at Ashland, February 21, and it is expected that all who possibly can will attend. Several amendments to the constitution will be proposed, and as they are matters of importance they shoud have the consideration of as many members as possible. "Because of the vast territory covered by our association the three districts were organized. It was found impracticable for all out members to attend the annual meetings, of the parent organization, and in order that the Interest already arouaed might not lag the sub-divisions were formed. "We of the first district should take the lead In the association, for it found its origin with us; but to hold up our end we must keep alive the Interest now man ifested. Let It be the duty of each one of us to see that there is no stunt In our growth so that we may be able to stack up against our friends of the South. "At a recent meeting of the second dis trict 88 members sat down to a banquet in San Francisco, and our worthy secre tary informs me that the third district, -with headquarters in Los Angeles, haa close to 100 members. At our next meet ing -we should show a total membership of over S00. "Gentlemen, I ask you to drink with me to the continued prosperity of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic Agents." Following Mr. Roche's remarks, came a little talk on "Mlndlnsr Our Own Tidi ness by A. B. Calder, of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Mr. Calder set the au dience in a roar the whole time he occu pied the floor, his impersonation of an Englishman being very realistic Mr. W. H. Olln read an able paper on the "Trans portation Industry," dealing with the gen eral history of the railway from its be ginning in 1S24 to the present time, and introducing many historical and Interest ing subjects. Robert Lee, the O. K. & N. Co. agent at Tacoma, talked in a general way on the early times in Portland 20 years ago, and what the country which was at that time undeveloped was now doing- in the way of making Itself known throughout the world. Future of Xorih Pacific Count. "William Harder, of the Portland Great Northern office, finished the regular pro gramme of the evening with the following address on the future of the North Pa cific Coast: The vast and high-grade products o oar North Pacific Coast have been and are now more than ever attracting the attention of the 'outside world, and this should be no matter of surprise when It Is considered that the mere handful of people comprising our population can make a showing so enormous and marvel ous. Our fair State of Oregon has an area, of 96,000 square miles, with a population of only -415,000, according to the last census, and In revlewlnc statistical figures of the products of the state we find that 20,000.000 bushels of wheat was the yield for 1902, besides vast quantities of other cereals. Fifteen million bushels of this wheat was exported through the Port of Portland by steamships and sailing vessels to ports In Europe, Australia. India, Siberia. China, Japan and Africa. Oregon forests produced last year over 1,000, 000.000 feet of lumber, of which Portland saw mills manufactured over 300,000,000 feet. Of this vast output, large quantities were sent to the Orient, San Francisco and other markets, while no inconsiderable quantity of this lumber has been absorbed by the home market for lo cal requirements, and It Is computed that our forests can repeat such outputs annually for the next 250' years. Our hillsides and valleys are teeming with livestock of all kinds. Ranchers disposed of f 9.000.000 worth to Eastern and other markets, and there still remains with them stock to the valuo of $30,000,000. Sheepmen gathered a wool clip of 20.000,000 pounds, netting at a low valuation $3,500,000. Hopgrowers of the state raised 00,000 bales last season, nearly all of which have been dis posed of at higher prices than have been ob tained for many years past. The revenue realized from this product is over $3,500,000. Oregon farmers are also turning their atten tion to the great Industry of dairying. There are -at the present time 300 creameries and cheese factories in the state, and the revenue derived from this branch has amounted to $2,000,000 during the past year. Fruitgrowers In the state have also reaped a rich harvest In 1002. Hood River and vicinity produced over S0.O00 crates of strawberries, which found ready sale In Montana, Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba and Colorado. Seventy six straight carloads were shipped, besides nu merous smaller lots by express. For prunes 1002 was a banner year. "While the quantity was, perhaps, not as large as In former years, the excellent quality and size of the fruit made up abundantly for loss" In quan tity. Oregon prunes rank high In Eastern markets as to quality, and command high prices, and not only Is this product of our orchards In great demand In our own markets, but this year we had the spectacle of a num ber of buyers from France, who purchased at Salem large quantities of our prunes and shipped them out by tralnloads for export to France, and undoubtedly our Oregon fruit was placed on the markets of Europe as the choicest of French jiroducts,. Our mines, both in Eastern and Southern Oregon, are rich with precious metals, and during the year Just closed the value of the clean-ups amounted to $5,000,000. The canneries on our Columbia River have put up over 300,000 cases of royal Chinook salmon, which for quality Is unsurpassed In the world, and the various cold-storag plants have shipped thousands of tons of the very choicest of this royal fish. In Its fresh state, to markets In New York. Boston. Philadelphia, etc: alo to Hamburg and other large centers In Europe. The fame of our Columbia River royal chlnook salmon has gone abroad, and cannot be checked. From various districts In the state come re ports of coal fields, located, but lacking devel opment, Nehalem, Stella and Heppner Indi cate finds of great value, and It Is to be hoped that transiwrtatlon facilities will be accorded to make. It possible to produce and furnish the country with cheap fuel, without which de velopment of Iridustrles cannot proceed. It is my opinion when cheap fuel is at hand that tho hum of many industries will be heard In many places which are now silent. The ab sence of cheap fuel has undoubtedly retarded many of these. In the past we have had many good years, but never before has there been such an enor mous and valuable output of the .products of the state as In 1002, and while the amount of Tvpnlth nrrwlnprtl Iw Industries nnd nroiluets j tiav-A tnnnt tiw rwl to .nArmntlfl ttn rwcth11lf for development In nearly every Industry named are wonderful, some of them, such as mining, dairying, frultraislng and even lumbering, in spile of their fine showing, are but only start ed. There are some states which ship more grain, and still others which ship more live stock, dairy products, etc. butno other single state In the Union can show such a diversity of Industries producing wealth on so large a scale. Turning to the State of Washington, with Its area of 00,000 square miles, and a population of 51S.000, we find Its many Industries produc ing results as astonishing as those of our own state, lumber and shingles taking the lead, while $0,000,000 has been realized during the past season by the fruitgrowers. The canneries of Pugct Sound have put up a pack of nearly 400.000 cases. The State of Washington raised 24,000,000 bushels of wheat, IS. 000. 000 bushels of which was transported to tidewater and dispatched to all parts of the world. From Alaska comes the report that C2 can neries and 24 salterles are In operation, and the estimated total Alaska salmon fisheries for the season of 1902 will amount to 2,470,000 cases. The approximate pack of all other sal mon fisheries In the north Is reported to be as follows: Fraser River, 225,000; Skeena River. 140.000; Rivers Inlet. 71.000; Naas River, 21. 000. These facts and figures show concluslvely the enormous wealth of the North Pacific Coast, and the possibilities are almost beyond conception What we need Is population, and reefnt efforts In many directions to bring out a large immigration to our shores look as If they were about to be realized In the near future; and now, passing over the subject of our products and resources, and taking up other possibilities of the North Pacific Coast, we will turn our attention to our vast com merce, which also is only in its Infancy, pass ing over our shores, to and from the Orient. We have, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese Empire, containing several hundred millions of people, and the bulk of these have not as yet seen the light of the outside world. There are, however, at the present time, rreat improvements in progress; railroads are under construction Into the in terior and rivers are being made navigable, which will give transportation facilities to the hidden millions of the Chinese Empire and assist to bring them In contact with the out side world. Japan contains- 40.000,000 souls, and our own Philippine Islands have 11.000.000, and while we are already doing business with these Orientals, the volume Is but very small when we come to consider what can and what will be done In the future. We must not forget that the great Siberian Railway, to the north of the Chinese Empire, Is near completion. Tho Importance of this event has hardly been thought of. and has not yet been grasped by the commercial world, but the advent of this great railway into the seaport of Vladivostok cannot be over.-tlmated. and may revolutionize the carying trade of the world; preparations for such a contingency are already In progress. There are at the present time under construc tion in the shipyards of our own Atlantic Coast and also of the Clyde, in Scotland, a number of leviathan steamships, which are to transport the products east and west bound. The Pacific Ocean has already a large fleet plying between our shores and the Orient, but the time is not far distant when the ships of the Pacific will outnumber those now sailing the Atlantic The subject of the future of our North Pa cific coast, its resources, products and com merce. Is of such magnitude, and so vast and important, that a short review like this does not adequately convey tho real state of affairs and Impress us sufficiently with the vast ad vantages we possess, but I trust that the facts and figures as given may make you realize to some extent the conditions, possibilities and future of the North Pacific Coast. Our vast territory is well served by trans continental railways, but the small m!leair nt local roads has undoubtedly kept back tho de velopment or wis glorious country. Several lines, however, 'both In Washington nnd Ore gon, are now under construction, and surveys for more are In progress, which will be built at no distant date. Railroad men will be needed to operate them and conduct tho enormous traffic these local lines will handle, many of which, I feel sure irom me rank ana file of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic Agents. BIG RUN 0)ft A BANK. Caused by Misunderstanding; of Ital ian Depositors. MOUNT VERNON. N. T.. Jan. 16. A run that was begun Wednesday on the East Chester Savings Bank, in this city, was continued yesterday. All claims were promptly paid, and the officials have am ple funds and are ready to meet all de mands. Up to noon yesterday between $100,000 and $150,000 had been withdrawn. The run resulted from a mistake of nu merous small depositors, many of them ignorant Italians, who seem to have got the East Chester Savings Bank mixed with the Bank of Mount Vernon, which is a state bank. When the management took charge of the Bank of Mount Vernon the announce ment was made that 2 per cent could be paid on deposits. The small depositors of the savings bank seemed to have got an idea that this would affect them. Then, on Tuesday last, Justice Gaynor, of 'the Supreme Court, on the application of James L. Reynolds, granted an order of the Bank of Mount Vernon to f;how cause why a referee should not be appointed to examine the bank's affairs, which, Mr. Reynolds alleges, have been mismanaged. This action added to the anxiety of the savings bank depositors, who still had the banks confused, and the run was the re sult Willamette Defeats Albany. ALBANY. Or.. Jan. 16. (Special.) The basket-ball game at the Armory in this city tonight between teams from Will amette University and Albany College re sulted in a victory for the university boys by a score of 35 to 6. CAN RIDE FOR NOTHING BUT NOT OFTEiN ON NEW ELECTRIC CAR. LINE. City fc Suburban .Railway Offers Pa trons Free Tickets nnd Lunch on Its St. Johns Line. Free tickets to St. Johns and return, with a free lunch In Cedar Park, Is the programme of the formal inauguration of the electric car service on that branch of the City & Suburban Railway today. The excursion tickets are good between 10 o'clock this forenoon and 5 this afternoon, and good on any enr that connects with the St. Johns cars at the Junction. Elec tric cars have been running for over a week on regular schedule time and are giving satisfaction. The subpowcr sta tion on Killlngsworth avenue, jtuft west of the present Junction, Is completed and In running order. At this place the com pany has acquired a block of ground on which car barns will be erected after a time. The residents on the Peninsula nat urally expect great things as the result of the new service. They have been asking for the trolley cars for a long time, and no'w feel happy over thelr'comlng, and the displacing of the steam motor which has been operated since the line was built, 12 years ago. When the line was first built down the Peninsula, It had to bo extended through a wilderness, w;hich has given place to many homes. Even with steam motor service, much clearing has been done and many Improvements made. The clectrlp cars operated from the Killings worth Junction are large and comfortable, and geared to make a high rate of speed. The average schedule Is SO minutes. The City & Suburban Railway Company has issued souvenir tickets for this ex cursion. The following appears on the tickets: "At the end of the line you may see the mile stretch of water front which has been opened up by the O. R. & X. spur, built last year. A large portion of this frontage has been bought for In dustrial purposes', several factories being already In operation, notably a eneer and basket factory, a match factory, planing-, sawmill, etc." , BOUGHT CHURCH PROPERTY. Bishop Morris Secures Evangelical Building. The Rt. Rev. B. Wlstar Morris has purchased, in the Interest of the diocese of Oregon, from the Oregon conference of the Evangelical Association, the property of that organization In Woodstock. This property Is located In .the village of Woodstock, and consists of a lot, 100 feet square, on the corner pf Woodstock and Broadway avenues. There Is a substan tial building on it, which is In good order and ready for use. The electric cars stop at the door. Services according to the order of the Episcopal church will be commenced Sunday, January 23, at 11 A. M. Bishop Morris and Rev. William R. Powell will be present and take charge of the services, which will thereafter be con tinued every Sunday. A Sunday school will also be started at once. All these services will be under the immediate care of Mr. C. L. Parker, a layman of experi ence in this line, and adapted for the work. The new mission will be known as the "Church of Our Savior." Quite a num ber of Episcopalians live in the vicinity, and the venture promises from the start to be- a success. Woodstock Is growing, as It is on high ground overlooking the valley of the Willamette. Bishop Morris thinks the place Ideal for a mission, and peculiarly adapted for suburban homes. EIGHT-R003I ADDITION. Recommended for Stephens Shcool by Board of Education. The Stephens Schoolhouse, to which the Board of Education recommends that an eight-room addition be built on the east side. Is a 12-room structure. It is the best type of the old-style building. It now contains pupils enough for 14 rooms, besides between 50 and 75 pupils who have been sent to the Central and other buildings. Principal Hadley has been crowded entirely out of his office to make room for 35 pupils of the lower grades. The office Is about half the size of a class room. At the east side of the building on the second floor, the store room Is now used as a full classroom, and accommo dates about 37 puplla . The principal's office and store room, now occupied by pupils, are not well fitted for class rooms, being poorjy ventilated, but they have to be used until other provisions can be made. Principal .Hadley has been provided with an office In the large hall on the second floor. It is a dark and cold place, but the best that could be had under the conditions. An eight-room addition built on the east side of the present building will bring the schoolhouse out to East Eighth street. Space will also be left north and south to put up other addi tions if they should be needed. FOR FREE FERRIES. President Donangh Says That Sell wood Is Entitled to One. The Sellwood Board of Trade held no meeting last evening, but the members are watching with Interest the bill to provide Sellwood with a free ferry, now pending before the Legislature. D. M. Donaugh, president, said yesterday that he felt encouraged over the prospects of the passage of the bill. He does not think that It Is asking too much to ask for means for crossing the Willamette River at Sellwood with its growing industries and population. A bill has been prepared to provide an other ferry for Albina. It authorizes the city to issue $50,000 in bonds to be ex pended In securing; landings on either side of the river and in building a ferry boat. This bill has not yet made Its appearance. There has been talk of Sell wood and Albina co-operating, tby which Sellwood would get the Mason, nov oper ated at Albina, and Albina would be pro vided with a larger and more powerful boat. It is estimated that it would cost about $5000 to establish a ferry at Sell wood with the Mason, leaving money enough to provide a large boat for Al bina, even if only $30,000 in bonds be Is sued, as provided by the Sellwood ferry bill. However, Mrs. Donaugh says no such arrangement has yet been made. A. N. Wills, of the Sellwood ferry com mittee, has been to Salem looking after the bill. New Fraternal Bund. Fidelity (A. O. U. W.) band has been organized with the following officers and players: Manager, Fred L. Glfford; presi dent, Charles S. Parker; vice-president. O. S.

The building committee of the Lone Fir Monument Association will meet this afternoon In the office of J. W. Ogllbee at 3 o'clock to let the contract for the foundation and granite work of the mon ument. A steam shovel is being moved irom the Oregon City track at City View Park to a point nenx the sawmill,- where It will be put to work on the right of way of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company. The shovel Is being moved over temporary rails. It will take several days to get It ready for work. Faster progress will then be made with the grading. . NO GAS TANK FOR THEM. East Side Citizens Present Vigorous Remonstrance. The principal business before the com mittee on health nnd police was the re monstrance referred to it by the Common Council against the building of a gas re tort on the northwest quarter of East Third and East Ankeny streets. In which Thomas Scott Brooke, ex-County Treas urer, cut quite a bit of a figure. The remonstrance was due to the presenta tion of an ordinance granting the Portland Gas Company the right to erect the retort. When the remonstrance was brought before the committee, Mrs. Jane G. Buck man, who headed it, told why the ordi nance should not be granted. "The site for the gas retort," she as serted, "was secured by misrepresenta tion. The property Involved Is within SOO feet of the east approach of the Burnslde street bridge, and everybody except two men who are connected with the gas com pany and a few minor property-owners, who have nothing to gain and nothing to lose, have signed the remonstrance. All wish to have the retort to be declared a public nuisance and Injurious ,to property. "Mr Brooke did not make a true state ment when he bought the property from me. He said he would erect upon the- two lots buildings that would be of benefit to the district, and he also told others that he Intended to erect Hats. But two days after I had sold the property to him he deeded It to the Portland Gas Com pnny. I am told that Mr. Adams, of tho gas company, wanted the lots for a site for a tank nnd later for a rctorL If he was so desirous of it he should certainly have come to us and told us about It, and we should never have parted with the property. As It Is we are willing to re purchase the lots by restoring to the compnny the full amount Mr. Brooke paid for them $3000. "We do not wish to have n gas tank or retort in the district, for either would drive' out the business houses we now have and would discourage the entrance of other business houses. The committee should, wo think, certainly grant our re monstrance. The Council has refused to create an oil district in the city and why should it create a gas district? Wo have nothing further to say than that wc are willing to repurchase the property, and."" concluded Mrs. Buckman with a smile, "with that wc submit our case." The committee decided to postpone con sideration of the remonstrance until It has an opportunity to view the property and to make a thorough investigation. The petition of the "Gordon Manufactur ing Company to make repairs to a wooden building In the lire limits was placed on file. The petition had been rejected by the Board of Firo Commissioners, and the Council had referred It to the committee. By the provision of the charter the action of the Fire Commissioners is final, and there was no need of sending the petition back to the Council. FUNERAL OF T. H. TONGUE Trnln.

Effective Even in Advanced Stupe of Blood-Poisoning;. NEW YORK, Jan. 16. At the last meet ing of the New York Obstetrical Society, Dr. Charles C. Barrows, of this city, sub mitted a report of an experiment with formaline, a drug known as the strongest of antiseptics, which he had made in Bellevue Hospital on a patient, who after giving birth to a child had a temperature of ICS deg. and a pulse or" 1C0. When the patient was admitted she was suffering from sepsis or blood poisoning. A blood culture was taken and It was found to be full of septicemia, known to the medi cal profession as streptococci. After the injection of formaline the 'patient recov ered rapidly. The belief at the start was that the patient was dying and most radical meas ures were used to save life. Five hun ared cubic centemeters of formaline were Injected Into tho left arm. The effect seemed, according to Dr. Barrows' report, to be almost instantaneous. A second in. jectlon was given her and her pulse and temperature fell to normal. The patient Is recovering now. Experiments are being made on .animals and further important results afe expected. The Injection of formaline into the veins had never been heard of until Dr. Barrows read his paper. CHILDREN DOING WELL. Many of Lorcni' Patients Are Now ..unnlng Around. NEW YORK, Jan. 16. When the ortho pedic section of the Academy of Medi cine meets tonight, the members will have an opportunity to examine the little pa tients on whom Dr. Adolf Lorenz ope rated while here. The section will meet to discuss technical questions on the Lorenz methods of treating congenital disease of the hip, and the children will be shown to illustrate the progress of the cure. ' All of the patients who were operated on by Dr. Lorenz are doing finely. With one or two exceptions all are walking and running about, thejr plaster casts hold ing the hip firmly in place. Prompt relief In sick headache, dizzi ness, nausea, constipation, pain in the side, guaranteed to those using Carter's Little Liver Pills- LABOR LEADERS MAY COME FEDERATED TRADES INVITES NA TIONAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL. Effort Will Be Made to Have Port land Chosen as Place for, 1 Summer Meeting. The Portland Federated Trades Council has extended an Invitation to the execu tive council of the American Federation of Labor to hold Its semiannual meeting in Portland next Summer. The invita tion was put In the form of a resolution and immediately forwarded to headquar ters, 'ft Is confidently believed that the invitation will be acceped, as It is under stood that the meeting will undoubtedly be hold noxt year In the West, and In nil probability on the Pacific Coast. San Francisco was the place of meeting last year, the first time the Coast has ever been so honored, and the eyes of the members of the executive council wore apparently opened as to the opportunities for the growth of organized labor in this region. Many of those attending the coun cil passed through Portland on their way poiith. and they are evidently willing to take a second look at this field. This mid-Summer meeting Is always held between the annual conventions, and Its presence is a great stimulus to all branches of organized' labor where the council meets. Thoush there arc only Jl members of the council, It Is a body of great Importance. G. Y. Harry, the state organizer for the Federation, de clared last night that the coming of the council to Portlnnd would be of the great est possible benefit to every brancl) of organized labor In the state. The meeting Is usually held In July, and If the coun cllmen come to Portland at that time they will best appreciate the coolness of an Oregon Summer. In order that the invitation from the Portland Council be given additional weight, all the Federated Trades Councils throughout the state will send resolutions indorsing the Invitation of the local body. The outside councils arc situated In As toria, Baker City, Salem. Grant's Pass. Oregon City and La Grande, and there fore practically represent the entire state. A smoker for every organized labor man In the city will be held under the auspices of the Federated Trades Council within a few weeks, and at the meeting last night a committee was appointed to make the necessary' arrangements. As the number entitled to attend Is so large, a building of the capacity of the Exposition building will probably be required. The committee which will make arrangements for the smoker is composed of the following men: Grant MacDonald, Harry Gurr, . I. D. Reed. J. A. Goldralner and A. R. Lawton. TO BE SETTLED IN THE EAST. Question of Higher Wages of O. R. &. N. Trainmen. Upon the decision of the conference of. railroad managers and grand bfficers of the organizations of conductors and train men now convening In St. Louis rests the question of raising the wages of O. R. & N. trainmen. The committee represent ing the Order of Railroad Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen conferred with President Mohler and Su perintendent O'Brien, of the O. R. & N. yesterday afternoon, and this settlement was quickly agreed upon. The railway of ficials are naturally averse to expressing themselves upon the subject until the de cision of the St. Louis conference Is de clared, but the members of the commit tee returned home this morning elated over the outlook for higher pay. The railways interested in the confer ence are all those west of Chicago and St. Louis and north and west of New Orleans. Tho O. R. & N. will make the same rate as the other roads west of the Mississippi River, and the conductors and brakemen are satisfied that the conference will decide In their favor. The conductors and bnkemen, both freight and passen ger, ask for a straight advance of 20 per cent In pay, and the freight conductors and trainmen want In addition double pay for all trains over 30 cars that are drawn by more than one engine. Main line pas senger conductors now receive $125 a month and brakemen $75. Freight con ductors are paid 3 cents a mile on the level runs and 3V1 cents on the mountain division east of Pendleton, while the freight brakeman get 2 and 3 cents per mile. One hundred miles Is considered equal to a day's work of 10 hours. The committee which called upon the O. R. & N. officials yesterday was com posed of W. K. Shepherd, of Wallace, Idaho; J. L. McCleary, of La Grande, and Frank S. Weiden, of Portland, repre senting the Order of Railroad Conductors. Tho Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen was represented by T. S. THIson, of La Grande. The movement of which they form a part Is a general one, and the O. R. & N. men, recognizing this fact, will abide by the agreement made by the roads of the Middle West. "We're all going back to work in the morning, and we feel considerably elated at the prospects," said W. K. Shepherd, the chairman of the committee, last night. "The fact that the company will make the same scale of wages as the roads whose managers are now conferring In St. Louis suits us very well. The advance on the Baltimore & Ohio Is a good indi cation, thoush It does not concern us or influence the conference in the least." DAILY METEOROLOGICAL BEPOHT PORTLAND, Jan. 1C 8 P. M.

Dean Emeritus of the Northwestern University, reached his 80th birthday, the event was cele brated with a banquet at the Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, with 500 invited guests. As most of his long life has been spent studying health. Dr. Davis Is an author ity on the subject. In one of his recently published articles he says: "The almost constant sense of weari ness Impels many workers to resort to the use oC strong Xea and coffee, the stim ulants In which appear to offer relief for from one to two hours, but which only add to their ultimate misery by Impairing digestion and causing restless sleep at night." "This Is the truth In a nutshell," writes a young lady authoress of Wheaton, III., "and it decided me to begin using Postum Food Coffee In place of tea and coffee. I had suffered from impaired digestion and wakeful nights, was tired all the time, and my brain refused to respond to the demand made upon it by my profession. "Almost from the first I felt benefited by Postum, and-1 am now 100 per cent better, brain clearer, digestion never bet ter, weight increased 27 pounds, sleep soundly all night and awake refreshed in mind and body. "My improvement has been so very great that at least 20 of my acquaintances have adopted Po3tum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There is sure relief from stomach and bowel diseases and weak heart when caused by coffee, if coffee is left off and, Postum adopted. DR. B. E. WRIGHT. Office bourses A. M. to P.
