TO BUILD THIS YEAR
Southern Pacific Between Os
wego and Beaverton.
BRIDGE AT OSWEGO LATER ON
Survey Completed and Engineer
Now A-n-altiBB Order Here Pos
sibility ol'Cbaoge o Route
Purpose ot Xew Project.
Engineer A- A. McCloud. of the South
ern Pacific, has been for eight months
running surveys and examining the coun
try between East Portland and Hlllsboro.
-with a view to bridging the Willamette
Biver at Oswego, and building a cut-off
or link to connect the Yamhill division
with the West Side division. All the sur
veys have been completed and the report
turned In to the Chief Engineer's office
in San Francisco, and orders to enter
upon construction, are expected at any
time.
It Is not supposed that there, will be any
Immediate move to bridge the river at
Oswego; that is a matter for the future.
But the line to connect the two divisions
of the Southern Pacific on the west side
of the river is practically assured for this
year. As now planned. It involves the
construction of several miles of new
track. This will leave the Yamhill divi
sion at the Bryant place, a short distance
southeast of Oswego, and Join the West
Side division at Beaverton. When It
comes time to build the bridge and con
nect up with It this Beaverton cut-off
will cross the Yamhill division and run
down to the river at a point nearly mid
way between the old smelter site and the
present smelter. That track will pass on
the opposite side of Sucker Lake from
the present line. It will make necessary
the construction of about miles of ad
ditional track.
The Beaverton cut-off Is to be along
Fanno Creek, and some of the farmers In
that region complain loudly at the In
trusion of the railroad, particularly those
owning valuable onion ground near Beav
erton. The survey has kept well to tne
benches, in order to interfere as little as
possible with the notions of the people.
But over In the Tualatin Valley are a
lot of farmers who want the railroad.
Construction of a line that way would
nearly or quite double the mileage of new
track, which Is the reason the surveyors
chose the other -route, but It would also
reach a large traffic It Is said that, if
the people who want the road to go up
the Tualatin and make the junction at
Hlllsboro should send a petition to that
effect Into the company, it would be like
ly to receive favorable consideration.
The purpose of the projected cut-off is
to net traffic from the Jefferson-street
depot around to tho terminal yards with
out the necessity of going away around
by Whitcson Junction, tho other side of
McMlnnville. And the purpose of the
bridge across the Willamette Is to avoid
the steep Fourth-street grade for freight
trains. The local traffic to be served by
the additional mileage Is entirely incl
dental to the main purpose, though It is
not to be Ignored. When the bridge is
done, it Is expected suburban trains will
bo put on the line between Portland and
Hlllsboro, by way of East Portland and
Oswego, and that the Fourth-street line
will be electrified for suburban trolley
service.
TAXAXA-VALDES RAILROAD.
Construction to Befirln "Within Com
Iiip: Forty Day.
SEATTLE. March 16. George W. Dick
enson, who for three years was manager
of tho Seattle Electric Company, returned
from a three-month6 stay In Chicago last
night, where he has been financing a
railroad he proposes to build from Val
des to the rich copper districts on the Tan
ana River. Mr. Dickenson expects the
work of construction to start within the
next 40 days. ' Eight surveying parties
were out last Summer and surveyed the
route, and did some work on the line, at a
cost of SS0.000.
In an Interview with the Telegram Mr.
Dickenson said:
"I was surprised to find the great inter
est in Alaska and Alaskan affairs In the
East. I had no trouble at all In dlspos
ing of enough stock to insure the success
of the enterprise. There can bo no ques
tion that this railroad Is needed badly.
and once the work Is started we will not
stop until the line Is complete."
Mr. Dickenson, accompanied by his fam
ily, will leave for valaes in about a
month.
MSW COMPLICATIOX APPEARS.
Electric Conipnnr Gets in Way ot
Denver, Northwestern Jfc Pacific
DENVER. March 16. A fight which seri
ously threatens the construction of tho
Denver, Northwestern & Pacific Railroad,
has developed out of the plans of the New
Century Light & Power Company to build
a dam across Gore Canyon, In Grand
County. The Injunction sought by the
light and power company, restraining the
Denver, Northwestern & Pacific from in
terfering with its plans, was served on
E. D. Moffatt Friday morning, but the
complaint was not handed to the attor
neys until today. Tho officials of the
railroad company express no fears as to
the outcome of tho matter.
Independence Xot Satisfied.
INDEPENDENCE, Or., March 16. A
letter has been received hero from Man
ager Koehlor. of the Southern Pacific
Company, regarding the change In the
service on this side. Mr. Koehler pro
poses that the motor bo put on a run
from Independence to Whlteson. The
letter has been circulated among tho busi
ness men here, but they do not look upon
it favorably, and would not support the
proposition, as they feel that Corvallls
and the other towns should bo considered
in the matter.
AxtorlaiiM Enjcer Taxpayers.
ASTORIA. Or.. March 16. (Special.)
When the Sheriff's office closed tils even
ing about $100,000 had been collected on
the 1502 tax roll, which amounts to $134,
412.96. The large collection was occa
sioned by the eagerness of people to take
advantage of the 3 per cent discount al
lowed until this evening. It will require
several days to balance up the accounts,
and until that work Is completed no defi
nite figures can be obtained.
BACKING THE LADRONES.

MANILA, March 16. General Allen,
Chief of the Philippine Constabulary, has
written to President Gomez, of the Na
tionalist party, charging that the party is
assisting the Ladrones in Rizal and Bula
can Provinces, and requesting Gomez to
produce the records of the organization
and explain the collection and use of du
ties. Gomes replied that the party was
not guilty. He admitted that Individual
members assisted the Ladrones, but said
the party expelled them for so doing.
General Allen placed evidence in the hand
of the Prosecuting Attorney, and it is ex
pected that the Government will prosecute
a number of the Nationalists.

BERLIN. March 16. The St Louis Ex

presented to the budget committee of the
Reichstag tomorrow. The committee has
been systematically cutting down the gov
ernment's requests and may take off 5125.
000 for the St, Louis Fair Exposition. In
terior Secretary von Posadowski-Wehner,
it is understood, canvassed the commit
tee carefully and Is In doubt whether he
can secure a majority for leaving the
Item as It is. The argument which the
Imperial Secretary Is using Is that the
honor of the government Is fully com
mitted to adequate representation, and
that It will not do to affront the United
States now by a backdown. However,
should the appropriation be reduced, more
money will be asked for next year.
Fine Arts From France.

miniatures; third, sculpture; fourth, ar
chitecture; fifth, engravings and litho
graphs; sixth, porcelains and mosaics and
works of metal, wood, leather and silk.
Each artist Is limited to six works. Their
merit will be decided by a jury to be
named later. The Ministers of Public In

Police Strive to Trace Wholesale
Polsonlnfr by Acgrro Doctor.
PHILADELPHIA, March 16. The police
authorities have directed tho opening of
34 graves, having secured evidence which
led them to the belief that George Hossey,
the "herb doctor," is responsible for at
least many of tho deaths. Hossey is in
Jail aa an accessory to the murder of
William G. Danze, whose widow Is
charged with having administered to her
husband slow poison furnished by the
negro.
"We do not know how many poisonings
can be traced to Hossey," said a police
official today, "but thus far we have se'
cured evidence that has warranted ua In
directing the opening of 34 graves. This
step will begin at once, and we believe the
result will show that Assistant District
Attorney Shoey was not exaggerating
when he branded Hossey as an arch
poisoner.
"Thia case Is assuming proportions far
beyond the comprehension of those con
nected with it at the time Hossey -was
arrested. The real investigation is Just
beginning, and before it proceeds much
further startling developments will crop
up. There may be several arrests, but
they aro not likely to come until the
organs of the bodies exhumed have been
examined by tho chemists."
Detectives are searching for a white
woman, who is alleged to have represented
Hossey in the preliminary dealings with
his patrona.
Seventy letters, written mostly by
women, have been found in the home of
Hossey. These letters, which are said to
be of an incriminating nature, vary little
in their terms, and. it is asserted, show
that Hossey charged $100 for every case.
Some of the letters point to payment of
the fee in Installments.

KALAMAZOO. Mich., March 16. A sen
satlon was caused here today by the an

PADDY LYNCH ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH SHAXGHAIIXG
TOUXG LOGGER.
Chaplain McCormac Reports Case to
Sheriff Llnvllle Hearing: Will
Be Given Today.
ASTORIA, Or., March 16. (Special.)
Paddy Lynch, the sailor boarding-housekeeper,
was arrested this afternoon on a
charge of kidnaping. The facts present
a case of palpable shanghaiing if they can
be substantiated in court. Rev. William
McCormac, the local chaplain to seaman,
held services on board the British ship
Foylesdale this morning, and, upon re
turning ashore looked up Sheriff Llnvllle
and told him that there was a man on
board the vessel who claimed to have
been shanghaied, and that he wanted the
authorities to come and take him off the
ship. The Sheriff went to the vessel,
which was anchored In the lower harbor,
ready to sail for Chile, and found the
man, who gave his name as Charles Gard
iner, who claimed that ho had been shang
haied.
The man said that he came to As
toria a few days ago from Gray's Biver,
where he had been working In a logging
camp, and stopped at the Occident Ho
tel, where his valise and clothing still
are. On Saturday he met a man on the
street who entered into a conversation
with him, and, after inquiring what his
business was asked if he would not like
to go to sea. He replied that he did not
think that be would like that kind of a I
life, when the other man said: "Were
you ever on board of a ship" Gardiner
replied that he had never been, when
the man said that his name was Lynch;
that he was in the business of shipping
sailors, and was about to go down to a
ship, and if Gardiner would like to go
along he would take him.
Gardiner Visits Ship.
Gardiner thanked Lynch and together
they went down to the British ship
Foylesdale In a small boat. Upon arriv
ing at the vessel both went on board,
and after Lynch had talked to tho offi
cer in charge and had him sign a paper.
he went down Into the small boat, leav
ing Gardiner on board. Gardiner started
to get down into the boat also, but Lynch
told him to stay on board, as he would
return for him. Gardiner soon realized
that he had been shanghaied, and appealed
to the officers of the vessel, but as the ar
ticles showed that the man had been regu
larly signed before the British Vice-Consul,
they thought that his protestations
were only an excuse to get ashore. When
Captain Kerry, of the Foylesdale, learned
the truth of the matter he made no ob
jection to Sheriff Llnvllle taking the man
ashore.
As soon as the Sheriff came ashore
with Gardiner he verified the latters
statements by finding his clothing at
the Occident, and then arrested Lynch on
charge of kidnaping. Sheriff Llnvllle
has the advance note Indorsed by Lynch
In payment for the delivery of the man
on board and also believes that he has
sufficient evidence to convict the man who
appeared before the British Vice-consul
and signed Gardiner's name to the ar
ticles.
Preliminary Examination Held.
The preliminary examination of Paddy
Lynch, the sailor boarding-house man, on
the charge of kidnaping Charles Gardiner,
in that he shanghaied him on board tho
British ship Foylesdale, was completed in
Justice Goodman's court this evening, but
the court postponed the decision until to
morrow morning. The defense offered by
Lynch was that he left the man on board
the ship. Intending to go after him again,
but the Sheriff reached the vessel first.
Theodoro Toblason, the man who has
been Identified as the person who signed
Gardiner's name to the ships articles.
was arraigned In the Justice Court this
evening and placed under ?500 bonds to
appear for examination tomorrow after
noon.

SOUTHWEST IS IN LINE.
Scvada, Arizona and New Mexico to
Show at the Fair.
'The hearts of the people in Nevada and
the expansive Southwestern territories are
in the right spot and accessible," re
marked D. C. Freeman at Lewis and Clark
Centennial headquarters yesterday, "but
their state treasuries are low."
Mr. Freeman had Just reported "in"
at headquarters from his long trip to Ne
vada and by way of Lower California and
Texas Into tho capitals of Arizona and
New Mexico, doing missionary work for
the Fair and soliciting the participation
of the great mining states in the Oregon
Exposition. He accomplished all that
could have been expected in tho Southwest
and reports encountering a very active
sentiment in favor of a Coast Exposition.
"My experience," he continued, "has
been that I have talked more than T ever
did before in a similar period, and feel
like having a short rest. I feel that I have
pretty well acquainted the peoDle In that
section with Oregon's Exposition. Now
ana men I found a man whose reference
to Washington Territory had to be cor
rected, but in the main I had no apologies
to offer for old Oregon. People realize we
are a powerful state. What arouses the
sympathy and admiration of tha Western
people Is the grit and energy displayed
by the isolated Northwest in determining
to ceieorate the 100th anniversary of tho
exploration of this country."
Commissioner Freeman has submitted
his report to the board, stating that a bill
has passed the House of Representatives
of Arizona and Is as good as adopted by
the faenate, authortzlnsr the commission of
that state to reserve space at the Lewis
and Clark Centennial, ordering the trans
shipment of the Arizona display from St
Louis to Portland and providing about
$S0uo for the maintenance of the exhibit
in Portland.
Governor Brodle. of Arizona, was for
merly in the Army service in tho Pacific
Northwest, 15 or 20 years ago. Commls
sloner Freeman says, and he was very
anxious to hear a great deal about Port
land and tho Northwest and how the
country had expanded and prospered. Ari
zona is to spend about J30.O00 on her St.
Louis display, which will include products
of all the old and many new paying mines
and the finest of tropical fruits which are
grown In the Irrigated valleys of the ter
ritory.
r "Arlzonlans are proud of their mid-desert
country," said Mr. Freeman, "and
they are ambitious to have the world un
dcrstand that they have far more than
drj. clear climate. For one thing the ex
ploitation through National expositions is
appreciated, because they would have
homeseekers of the right sort realize that
they can grow something else besides
lungs. The rancher of the desert coun
try Is nothing If not philosophical. He
even finds a superior consolation In the
fact that he can control his own water
fall with a spade. He points out, axult
lngly, that it is better to live In a country
where every farmer can handle his own
moisture through ditch gates and can
dispense with the formality of praying
lor nun.
Nevada's St. Louis commission, headed
by James Ycrlngton, a millionaire resident
of that state, will bring Nevada's great
mineral laboratory to the Portland Fair.
Probabl-o- private subscriptions will be se
cured for a characteristic building. Owing
to the fact that a St. Louis appropriation
was nearly killed in the last days of the
session at Phoenix, those who steered
modest bill for Portland in the Carson
City Assembly had to withdraw the "rider"
and an Independent appropriation could
not be gotten through this session. Com
mlssloner Yerlngton has recently been to
Portland and Inspected the preparations
for Portland's Fair and upon the occasion
of my second visit to Carson, at the close
of the pay session, when the approprla
tlons were having the final round-up, he
made a fine report to the Legislature In
Joint committee meeting and, further, as
sured Governor Sparks that It was abso
lutely imperative that Nevada should be
represented here. Mr. Yerlngton has the
voluntary offers of several mlneowners of
his state, that. In the event of an In
sufficient amount being allowed for a dis
play at St. Louis they would put up the
money. It is as good as enacted that Ne
vada will be on hand. The state Is Just
experiencing tho effects of a revival of
prosperity. Fresh capital has been attract
cd to the mines through the Pan-Ameri
can Exposition of a year ago and the pop
ulation Is increasing. While heartily In
dorsing the good to be derived from an
exposition on the West Coast the legisla
tors found themselves up against it when
It came to making appropriations. Had the
St. Louis bill been out of the way, the
legislators would most readily have voted

"Whatever Is done by Nevada and Ari
zona In the way of showing at the St.
Louis and Portland Fairs in 1901 and 1905
will be equaled by the Southern Pacific
Railroad, which will expend a large sum
of money In augmenting the displays from
these states."
Commissioner Freeman's trip to Santa
Fe, N. M., was largely of a missionary
character and wns devoted to advertising
the Fair. The Americans in the New
Mexican Legislature were anxious to make
handsome showing at St. Louis next
year, and Governor Otero advised Mr.
Freeman to Interview his commissioners.
Mr. Freeman found a brace of old news
paper acquaintances on the commission
running the biggest papers of which the
territory boasts and. incidentally, helping
to make the laws for the territory and
they assured the commissioner that they
felt the necessity of making arrangements
at St. Louis next year for transporting an
historical exhibit of that territory to Port
land. They promised to co-operate along
that line.
Mr. Freeman was Invited by Mexican
Central Railway officials at El Paso to
take In a permanent exposition now going
on at the City of Mexico, and to visit the
ancient capital In the Interests of the
North Coast Fair. Mr. Freeman said that
every effort Is being made to develop the
territory through which the Mexican Cen
tral runs.
Thousands of Eastern tourists and home-
seekers, he says, pack every train west

ern route of the Southern Pacific on the
way to the Coast- The intermediate points
catch a share of the volume of travel.
Regular trains are running In two and
three sections and the Southern Pacific,

One of the essentials of the happy homes of to-day ia a fund of
information as to right living and the best methods of promoting
health and happiness. With proper knowledge, each hour of
recreation, of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most
wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents
when needed. With the well-informed, medicinal agents are used
only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of
cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, has
long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary
to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics
which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly
increased quantities.
Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative
and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants,
principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered
a method of obtaining ;such principles in their purest condition and
oi presenting uem wita pieasaut aim rexxcauiu
most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as-
Syrup of Figs as figs were used, with the plants, in making it,
because of their agreeable taste.
This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the
best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and cleanses
and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural
functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use maybe discon
tinued when it is no longer required.
All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember
that it is the one remedy which physicians .and parents well-informed
approve and recommend and use and which they and their little one3
alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its
beneficial effects.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggists, at the regular price
of fifty cents per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of
the remedy Syrup of Figs and the full name of the Company
California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package.
