li THE MORNING OREGOXIAK, SATURDAY, " FEBRUARY 7, 1903. 0. R. & N. AND OPEN RIVER favors riucnCAL improvement AT THE DALLES. Did WJint It Could to Aaalst Boat IUiilivny Enterprlae, Even Giving Part of Right of War. In view of the tendency In some quar ter to account for the O. TL & N. oppo sition to the proposed state appropriation for a portane railway at the dalles of the Columbia on the theory that that com pany has always been against any means that promised to help tho river commerce. It Is recalled that the railroad Is on rec ord as distinctly In favor of the boat-railway enterprise, which was once adopted by Consress and has been only negatively abandoned within the past year. This fact was clcarlv brought out in a hearing be fore the committee at Salem a few days nRO. where correspondence as far back as the time when Major McNeill was receiver was submitted to show the attitude of the officers of the O. R. & X. respecting tho boat railway, the only plan then under consideration for glvlns relief ot the dalles. More recently the O. n. & X. signified Its willingness to co-operate with the Government In that Improvement by of ferinc to adjust Its right of way for the convenience of the boat-railway line. The railroad company acquired a wide strip of land, so ns to admit of the shifting of its tracks out of the way of the boat rail way. By the relocation of the railroad at at that point a considerable part of the old right of way. as well as some of the newly acquired property, was necessary to a proper route for tho boat railway. The O. It. Jt X. Co. offered to exchange with the Government so that the boat"" railway would have a direct line. A con tract for this exchange was drawn and approved by the engineers, and It now He in the department at 'Washington. The O. It. & X. has done Its part, but additional legislation Is required to enable ihe Government to carry out Its end of the agreement. Xow that the canal and locks plan of Improvement has practically superseded the .boat-railway scheme, the contract for right of way along the O. It, & X. track Is simply so must waste paper, but It showed the good will of the railroad company. ' Captain Langfltt says that In all ne gotiations for opening the upper Columbia the O. R. & X. Co. has been more than courteous. It has always been willing to grant any reasonable assistance jand to co-operate In measures that would enable the Government to make the most of its opportunities there. XO REASON FOR COMPLAINT. So Su- Trnllle Men of OrcRon City Rnte Ilemljniitiiient. All the tmfflc men doing business with Oregon City say the dispatch published yesterday morning pertaining to the ad vance of rates to that point was trrone ous. There has been a slight readjustment of the rate schedule la which advances were made In a number of articles, but roost of the commodities remain un changed. There has been no change whatever in the rates on express matter. "It Is hardly likely that the advance amounts to $1000 a month, when all the freight charges paid In Oregon City do not come up to that figure," say the traffic men. A. dollar a ton has been the merchandise rite for many years between Portland and Oregon City and it Is retained at that figure in the new tariff. Furniture, lumber, beer, poultry, pianos, wagons, calves and a few other articles have been cdvinced. Carrots, potatoes, grain, flour, fcd anl rnlllstuff, hay and straw (baled), shaved hoops, Ice, onions, salt and sugar rvnialn at 5 cents per 100 pounds. Other commodities vary in rate, but all ore above the 5 cents. The traffic men do not think teamsters will make much rnbney freighting for less than $1 a ton. President Hurlburt. of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company. which has for a long time been hindllng the bulk of the Oregon City business, eald yesterday that some advance had been made because of the increased cost of conducting transportation as well as everything else these days, but that there "was no design to inflict a hardship on Oregon City business and If there was anything inequitable In the new tariff he would correct it so far as his com pany was concerned, regardless of what the others might do. General Freight Agent Miller, of the O. R. & X admitted if the new rates were .high enough to pay for transporta t'on by freight teams they were too high end must be reduced. But he slid that Oregon CJty people had had their .freight handled for almost nothing and he did not see that there could be legitimate ob jection if fair rates should now be charged. A. B, Graham, of the Oregon City Transportation Company, said his com pany had not materially advanced its rates and he had heard of no particular Objection to the rates chirged since Feb ruary 1. Of course it was not to be expected that the old hard times condi tions should prevail always. The beats have to pay their men more now tljan Jormerly and have to piy more for sup plies. The cost of transportation "was much greater than it was a few years ago and' a reason lble advance should be ex pected. At the office of Generl Freight Agent Coman, of the Southern Pacific. It was eald that the advance did not by any means cover all commodities nor was It unreasonable on any article. When a piano or a wagon or a mowing machine or e horse rake, all set up ready for operation, can be carried for JL50 the rate is not regarded as In any .sense ex ceeslve, DENSITY OF RAILROAD TRAFFIC. Seventeen Tlmea Greater in England Tiinn In America. , LONDON. Feb. 6. Presiding at a meet ing of the shareholders of the London & Northwestern Railway, H. TV. Campbell remarked that If the company did not adopt American methods it was simply be cause what was termed economy in one oountry would rank as extravagance in the other, xne otuciais nau experimented with large freight care and they were found quite unsulted for their require ments. Regarding the passenger traffic. Mr. Campbell said that while the length of the railroads In the United States was nine times greater than those of Great Britain, the latter carried twice as many passen gers, "or about 18 times as many per mile of railroad. The returns of accidents Mr. Campbell . further remarked, were considered un- usually Instructive. Not a single passen gey was killed In Great Britain during while HO were killed In the United States that year. Four hundred and seventy-rtx were Injured In Great Britain In, 1S0L against 4192 In that year In the United States. NEW ROAD TO SAX FRAXCISCO. To Pnas a Little North of the Cen tral .Pacific. SAX FRANCISCO, Feb. 6. There are indications that San, Francisco is to have another transcontinental railroad line. The new road which the -San Franclcco Terminal Railway Company proposes to build will run rrom Oakland through Hay wards. Llvermore, Stockton. Marysvlllc and Orovllle. From.that point It will fol low branches , of the Feather River to "Beckwith Pass, over to Purdy on the state line; and then across Northern Nevada ' 'and Utah to connect with one of the four big Eastern lines that end at Ogden or In Western Wyoming. it Is 'asserted by an official of the com pany that satisfactory Eastern connec- tlons have already been made. The In corporators of the company are local men, but there is a widespread belief that the Gould Interests are behind the enterprise. The Terminal Company Is Incorporated for $6,000,000. and it plans to connect San Francisco with the San Joaquin and Santa Clara Valleys. These plan. It has been explained.' are connected with the plans of the Stockton & Beckwith Pass Railroad Company, which Is being promoted by the same men and which, has been incorpo rated with a capital stock of J1S.O00.O00. for the purposo of building a road from Stockton to the California-Nevada state line by way of Sacramento, Orovllle and the Beckwith Pass. Terminals have been acquired, fran chises have been obtained, rights of way have been secured and numerous surveys have been made, but the promoters of the. road have maintained much secrecy re garding their Intentions. AO OFFICIAL STATEMENT YET. Hut Rock Island Ix Novr Included In Ilarrlman Harmony. NEW YORK. Feb. 6. The principals in the Rock Island-Union Pacific-Southern Pacific deals have not yet Issued an official statement, nor is It likely that they will do so until tho agreement has been rati fied by their respective boards. It may bo stated on the bert authority that an ex tension of community of interests has been entered into, that the Rock Island will share control of the Houston & Texas Central road. Tho terms Include giving Rock Island stock in part or In whole pay ment for the Houston & Texas Central stock bought, and this presumably means that the Southern Pacific, which is con trolled by the Union Pacific, will take an equal amount of Rock Island Into the treasury. f Clienp Itnlen to Jnhe IS. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. C. In order to second the efforts of California producers to provide against the anticipated scarcity of bands In orchards and vineyards in the late Spring months, and still further to encourage the incoming of farmers with families, K.

McCormlck. passenger trafi tic manager, announces that the Southern Pacific Company and connections have concluded to, extend from April 30 to June la saie oi iow-raio coiomsi iicxeis irom all Eastern points. Fruitgrowers and oth ers feared that without some material as sistance It would bo Impossible to success fully harvest the expected great yield of 1903. The action of the Southern Pacific Company has removed all apprehension. TOPEKA, Kan.. Feb. C Notice was to day given by the Santa Fe of Its Intention to continue In effect until Juno 15 the one way colonist rate of $33 to California points. This action Is taken as a method of retaliation against the Southern Pa cific, which "announced cheap California rti tea at which the Santa Fe deemed to be an inopportune time.

Spelling- of Kngllah Words Xo Proper Tent lor School. PORTLAND. Feb. 5. (To the Editor.) In your paper of Monday you have a "special" from Albany telling how school children In a certain district were poor epners, wmcn tact was brought forth during a recent examination. Now. Mr. Editor, the children are not to blame for this. The'ppelllng of the English language Is so bad and so un natural, that It should never be made a test of Intellect If a person can, spell that language or not. And It Is a real pity that tne great Anglo-baxon raee, so practical and progressive In almost everything else. Is so very unpractical and almost silly In spelling their own language. And bv all means let us have a reform In this respect ana nave it wunoui aeiay: Let the words bo spelled as they are pronounced, and let us quit our foolish ness by talking one thing and writing another, regarding pronunciation. To the writer it Is almost a credit to a person to pee ,hlm spell the words as they are spoken, ehowlng that he Is a natural be ing when the "right" speller must be ar tificial before he can learn to spell the way our English Is spelled. Spelling Eng lish Is no sign of intellect as arithmetic and other subjects are, and should, there fore, never be rnadeya tost In any examln atlona. CITIZEN, (Tho ability to spell the Engllah lan guage may not 'be competent evidence of a logical or analytical faculty. It does, however, signify a very certain retentive capacity, and also a more or less exten sive course of reading. For tbeso reasons, as well as the fact that it is necessary that our spelling, arbitrary though It may be, must be mastered by those who would write. It would seem, perfectly proper to Include it in a test of eleman- tary scholarship.) Vt'IH Care for Aftrarlann. BERLIN, Feb. 6L--At a banquet of the agricultural council held last night.

A report printed to the effect that The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation Company has bought out the White Collar line met with positive denials at the of fices of both companies.

Pcenllnr Ideati Regarding: a Common DlHenne. Mark Twain's euro for a cold In the head, wis simple, but he claims very ef fective In his own case: his plan was to eat nothing whatever for 21 hours, or pre sumably until the trouble had dlsap p ared. Although not able to spjak from per sonal experience is to the effectiveness ot this treatment, l certainly has the merit of extreme economy, but It occurs to us that the application of It to a case of nasal catarrh might be mended with difficulties. Catarrh, as everyone know. Is a chronic cold In the head, and Mr. Twain's treat ment. If It should become a fid. would mako of us a nation of fasters an army emulating the example of the Immortal Tanner, who achieved world-wide fame by fisting days. Catarrh is certalnVy becoming a na tional disease, and there is little doubt but that errors In diet, particularly over eating. Is x very common cause. Most people., however, are more Inter ested in the cure of the trouble than In the cause, and modern medical science has produced more effective and less he roic remedies than Mr. Twain's. Hydrastin Is a new remedy, very effec tive In some forms of Citarrh. Red Gum IS another, which, on account of Its anti septic properties Is very valuable, while many severe cases of Chronic Catarrh have been" entirely cured by the yan guinarli, or extract of blodd root, alone. 'Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined all of these remedies In tablet form pilatable and convenient, and the superiority of this ttblet over .other catarrh remedies Is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to supply the popular demand. They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, and It Is doubtful If any medicine has achieved a national popularity In so short a time .as this. Stuirt's Catarrh Tablets are used by thousands of traveling men because they can bo carried in, the pocket and used any time and In- any quantity, being free from Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug. S They clear the head and throat from the disgusting .secretions of catarrh, very often In a few hours' tlm.-. For nasal Catarrh.they are far superior to any wash, lotion'or ointment, the use of which is often as lnconvcrtient and an noying as tho disease itself. For coughs, colds, bronchl.il catirrh and catarrh of stomach these tablets give immediate relief and a permanent euro where lotions, douches and Inhalers mike no impression whatever. This preparation is a boJn to catarrh sufferers, and any druggist' will tell you that Stuart's Citarrh Tablets is a remedy that has come to stay. TRAVELERS' GUIDE.
