-THE MORNING OBEQONI&N; TUESDAY. APRIL' 21, 1903,
ROAD AIMS AT BEND
Columbia Southern to Make
100-Mile Extension.
WITH OR WITHOUT 0. R.& N.HELP
President Lytic Say Bli Company
Will Build, and Will Jfot Sell
Out Central Oregon Cer
tain of One Line.
The Columbia Southern will be extend.
ed 100 miles south of Us present terminus
at Bh&nlko to reach Bend. This exten
sion will be made within a comparatively
snort time, and when completed It will
open np the Central Oregon country and
make the district tributary to 'Portland.
While It Is expected the Columbia
Southern and Oregon Railroad fc Naviga
tion will be operated In harmonr
and the work In Central Oregon will
be completed after an understanding
between the officials of the two lines, the
Columbia Southern Is to go to Bend un
der all circumstances.
This much the o facials of both the O.
R. & N. and the Columbia Southern will
concede that the O. R. & N. Intends that
there shall be a line built Into Central
Oregon to hold the trade of that dis
trict for Portland and that thJs Columbia
Southern intends to add another 100 miles
to Its mlleige. There may be a connec
tion between the two announcements or
It may be the two lines will be found
fighting for the trade.
President E. E. Lytle of the Columbia
Southern returned from New York yes
terday. He was willing to make the
statement that his road Intended to build
Into Central Oregon and that his com
pany did not Intend to sell to the O. R.
& X. But the details of his plans were
something Mr. Lytle would not discuss.
Nor have the O. R. & X. officials as yet
given out any authoritative announce
ment of their plans.
New York advices have Indicated that
the representatives of the Columbia
Southern and O. R. & N. were working
out a plan whereby the O. R. & N. would
guarantee or take the bonds of the
smaller line and permit the extension to
be built. At the same time the Columbia
Southern wis negotiating with, or at
least had an understanding with, other
capitalists. The O. R. & N- too. had the
alternative of building Its own line under
consideration.
It Is apparent that negotiations be
tween the two roads are still pending,
and the mission of T. B. Wilcox to New
York seems to have brought the two In
terests closer together. That there Is a
strong probability of the O. R. & N,
continuing to bold the Columbia South
ern bonds and to aid the road In Its
further extensions Is most probable.
From the south the possibility of an
other line's extending to connect with
the Columbia Southern and make the
Central Oregon country tributary Is one
of the possibilities that enters Into the
present negotiations. Then, too. as a
business proposition, a railroad that would
tap the Central Oregon country would
be a good one. Even should the O. R.
'& N. extend by building up the Des
Chutes, It is claimed the Columbia South
ern would still be a" moneymaker for Its
owners.
Since the O. R. & N. owns the original
bonds Issued by the Columbia South
ern. It is not reasonable to assume that
the larger line would take .any action
that might depreciate the value of its
holdings as long as there was any chance
of protecting the Investment. At the
same time the Columbia Southern is
barred, without the O. R: & N. consent,
from making a new bond issue applicable
to the entire system. The new bonds,
however, might constitute a second mort
gage issue agilnst the line as far as
Shanlko. The interests of the two lines
are to this extent Identical, and It is
logical to assume that the negotiations
for an extension of the Columbia South
ern are pretty certain to be successful
while the dealings are confined to the O.
R. & N. officials.
The Columbia Southern Is an O. R.
& N. feeder, and this Is a factor that
Inclines the O. R. & N. to act with the
smaller line In projecting the road Into
the southern part of the State. No mat
ter how much the Columbia Southern
profits by Its extension, the O. R. & N.
Is certain to secure a share of the re
turns. The negotiations between representa
tives of the two lines have been aided
by T. B. Wilcox, the representative of
Portland commercial bodies, who his Just
returned from New York. There Is no
doubt but that Mr. Wilcox succeeded In
bringing Mr. Lytle and Mr. Harriman
closer together and in paring the way
for an amicable settlement of the rail
road difficulties. While there has been
no definite announcement that Mr. Wil
cox was likely to do so. It Is believed
In ratlroid circles that he will continue
to act with the officials of the two lines.
If this is true, the belief that the Co
lumbia Southern will make the exten
sion into Central Oregon is still further
strengthened.
Negotiations are understood to be
progressing favorably, and an early ad
justment is expected. If this is reached
the road is likely to be built almost Im
mediately. But In any event it is already
assured that Central Oregon Is to have
at least one railroad. This .the Columbia
Southern will build.
flLLS ALMOST COMPLETED.
Southern Pacific Soon to Lay Rail
On the Eaat Side.
The Southern Pacific has practically
completed the work of filling In the land
about the tracks In Eist Portland. It
is estimated by the company officials that
the ground will be ready for laying rails
by the end of tbe present week and the
double track system will be completed
not more than Ave weeks later.
The fill has called for the use of 30.000
cubic yards of dirt, and when completed
will have required six weeks work. From
East Pine to East Yamhill the work has
been carried on. The double tracks are
to be used largely for passing tracks and
switching purposes. Their use will great
ly facilitate the operation of trains.
All along the Southern Pacific line In
Oregon Improvement work his been
rushed during the past few months. Re
cent good weather has made It much
easier for the construction crews, and
when Superintendent Fields returned yes
terday after an Inspection trip extend
ing aa far south as Dunsmulr he declared
the system was In better condition than
ever before.
The town of Dunsmulr is recovering
from the effect of the disastrous fire
which occurred there recently." said Mr.
Fields yesterday. "The fire destroyed
some of the best buildings In the town,
but tbe people are going aheid courage
ously to rebuild. Fine brick buildings
are now going up In place of the wooden
structures which were destroyed, and
tbe temporary buildings which have been
In use since the fire are giving way to
more substantial buildings.
BOSTON' TO XEW YORK.
Mysterious .Movements Towards
Building; Electric Road,
WHITE PLAINS. N. T-. April 3B.-A1-though
much mystery surrounds the se
cret survey which engineers and survey
ors have been msklng In the northern
part of Westchester. Putnam and
Dutchess Counties, and In Hudson and
Chatham, Albany and other cities. It la
said, there Is a plan oa foot to build a
third-rail electric railroad between Bos
ton. Albany and New York. The en
gineers will not reveal tbe nature of the
scheme, but It was said the new company
will be known as the New York, Boston
& Albany Railroad Company, and that
the main beadquartera of the corporation
will be in Brewster, Putnam County.
The new road. It Is asserted, will be
built principally on private property, and
will connect with tbe proposed four-track
electric system which Is to be built be
tween Port Chester and New York and
the underground system. The surveyors
will not tell who are the backers of the
company.
To Improve Oregon City Service.
As soon as the double-track system of
the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com
pany Is completed to MUwaulde the com.
pany will institute a hiif-houriy service
between Portland and Oregon City. The
construction work Is apt to bo completed
within two weeks' time, and the an
nouncement of a change In the com
pany's schedule will follow Immediately.
When the new schedule goes Into effect
the time between Portland and Oregon
City will be reduced to 0 minutes. That
is. the run between depots will occupy
5 minutes. At present the company's
schedule calls for a car leaving each end
every 40 minutes, ind it requires 65 min
utes to make the run.
Two handsome double-compartment cars
have Just been received from the East
ern manufacturers by the railway com
pany for use on its Gresbam line. These
cars, will carry the malls and are fully
equipped with high-power motors.

BABIES NEED MONEY.
Annual Report of Home Shows a.
Small Deficit.
At the adjourned annual meeting of the
directors of the Baby Home, the follow
ing directors were elected:
Mesdames Charles E. Sltton, E. F.
Riley. X. R. Cox. O. 31. Scott, David
Robertson and E. S. Benson, and Messrs.
F. S. Akin, A. L. Keenan and H. H.
Northup.
The report of tbe treasurer showed a
deficit, owing to unusual expenses in the
way of renovating and refurnishing. Fol
lowing is the president's report:
The average number of children In the
Horn for tbe year is 22. The averse ex
pense of caring for the babies Is 111 per
month. Two hundred aod fifty dollars per
month li ntniuir for current expenses,
with the most cartful and practical economy.
Each child within our Horn Is absolutely
helpless and reoulres constant care and at
tention. We employ besides tbe matron
two and sometimes three day nurses, one
night nurse, a cook and a laundrjrman. Th
last-named has also tbe care of tbe cows
and tardea, which form as Important Item
In the food supply.
No officer of the Home, receives, wishes to
receive or should receive, one dollar for
time or labor expended, and very much of
both are required.
Tbe strictest economy, consistent with the
well-being of tbe Inmates, must be maintained
to meet tbe expense of payroll, provisions and
tbe ordinary wear and tear of a house. Re
cently It baa been found necessary to reno
vate the building, to remove tbe wooden bed
steads and substitute Iron ones, at an ex
pense of tS4.
Of sickness we bare had little, compara
tively speaking, due largely to the motherly
care and nursing of our matron. Mrs. Black
ball. TVs owe much to tbe skill and untir
ing attention of Drs. Bell. Story and Labbe.
and we take this opportunity of expressing
to them our appreciation of tbelr services,
gratlutously and always cheerfully rendered.
Donations to the Home have been generous,
particularly at tbe Tbanksgtvlcg season.
Several children have been placed -for adop
tion. Some of them in homes much above
the average and all of them where we are
confident they are not only comfortable but
are the recipients of affection and kindly
Influence. Is not this of Itself a grand result
of a yeari effort;
Tbe prejudice, that has existed In tbe
minds of some to the effect that an Institu
tion, such aa we represent, fosters evil rather
than prevents it. is gradually dying out.
The majority of those In the Home are of
respectable but poor parentage: children ot
widowed mothers dependent upon themselves
for support, or of fathers, desolate and help
less when left with motherless babies. Others
wholly orphans and often friendless.
There are some ot Illegitimate birth, but
where Is there more need of sympathy and
kindness than toward those, born with a
stigma that makes an additional burden tor
after life? It we can help such (even though
the number were much greater) to homes
where they are welcomed and reared to lives
ot usefulness and self-reliance, can anyone
say such an Institution fosters evil?
Not all Illegitimate children are from de
graded parents. In our work, we meet many
heartbroken mothers whose one sad expert
ence has brought sorrow almost unbearable
to be carried through a life of regret and
remorse.
Sometimes circumstances are such that the
child must be given up, but oftener we find
an unwillingness to do so, and It Is cared
for at the expense of the hard-working
mother, left alone in her misery and grief.
Great is the pity that the one who shared
the sin and la ofltlmes the chief in error es
capes the responsibility and extreme suffer
ing consequent to tbe wrong doing.
In the management of the Home two prin
ciples are paramount, that no worthy par
ent be refused assistance, neither shall be
or she be permitted to lose the feeling of
natural responsibility and self-respect, by
being relieved of all parental obligation. Un
less circumstances make It absolutely Impos
sible some remuneration, even though It be
not more than SI per month. Is exacted. And
as It occasionally happens, when bath pat
ents are living and able-bodied, full price for
board Is required. It should be stated, bow
ever, that these cases are rare, and would
never be admitted to tbe exclusion ot the
more needy.
Besides the current expenses and the above
mentioned deficit of JiSo. w still have tbe
urgent need of a hospital. Ones again w call
tbe attention ot the public to tbe necessities
ot tbe Baby Home, an Institution unique in
its minion, and. for resources, entirely de
pendent upon the goodwill of our citizens. It
has no stats aid, no endowment fund. It Is
distinctively a private charity. With full ap
preciation ot the generosity with which oar
appeals have been met In the past, we call
attention to the needs of the present, believing
they will be met with a liberal response.
Personally. I wish to thank those members
ot the board whose burdens have been heavier
oa account ot my Inability, through sick
ness, to attend to ssy accustomed duties and
to express my appreciation of the fidelity and
co-operation ot each member ot tbe board.

Repairing; Streets.
The elevated roadway on Hawthorne
avenue, between East First and East
Third streets. Is to be repaired. Tbe south
half of the roadway will be replanked
and the best part of tbe plank will be
used to fix up the north half. For a long
time this roadway has been In a very bad
condition.
Contractor O'Neill la getting along fairly
well with the replanklng of Union ave
nue, between Bast Oak and East Morri
son streets. He has finished the block
between East Oak and East Stark, and
nearly completed the Intersection at East
Stark. The work Is alow, for th reason
the old plank must first be removed and
many of the timbers of the substructure
have to be replaced.
Smith & Howard, who have the con
tract tor the elevated roadways on East
Oak street, between Eaat Water and East
Twelfth streets, have some lumber on
East Oak. but no plies have been driven.
The old roadway between East Water and
East Second streets was removed some
time ago. The contractors were given till
next September to complete this work.

MUCH BUSINESS IN SIGHT
GG5ERAL PASSE.fGER AGENTS AS
SOCIATIONS' COXVESES TODAY.
Aa Many Important Subjects Are on
Docket the Railroad Men Will
Probably Remain All Week.
The first session of the Transconti
nental Passenger Association will be held
at the Hotel Portland today. Chairman
James Charlton will call the meeting to
order at II o'clock this morning and
without any unnecessary delay the asso
ciation will begin the work that is piled
up before It on the docket.
The docket Is already long, embracing
more than "S subjects and it may be re
quested by any paesenger agent that some
other matter be brought up. The length
of the docket anl the Importance of many
of the subjects under consideration In
dicate that the general passenger agents
will spend nearly. If not all, the re
mainder of the week at their work.
The meeting will not be Interrupted by
many entertainment features, but the
stay In Portland will be made one the
agents will remember. Almost all ' the
passenger men have a number ot friends
In the city, and local railroad men are
exerting themselves to anticipate the
wishes of tbe members. Yesterday,
when most of the general paesenger
agents arrived In Portland, they were met
by friends and that portion of the day
that was left to them was spent profit
ably. It is probable a trip will be taken on
the Columbia as far as Cascade Locks
either tomorrow or same time later dur
ing the week. It is planned by local
traffic men to give the visitors an op
portunity to see the Columbia River
scenery from the deck ot a fast and com
modious passenger steamer. The boat
will leave Portland about 10 A. M. and
run as far up the Columbia as Cascade
Locks, where a special train will prob
ably be waiting to bring the excursionists
back to Portland.
The trip up the Columbia planned by
local entertainers is regarded as one "of
the most beautiful scenic excursions that
could be held anywhere In the United
States. The Columbia River scenery. Is
reclared to rival that of the Hudson,
and the country through which the ex
cursionists would be taken Is one In
which all of them are Interested.
The excursion would create a diversion
from duty that Is believed would be wel
comed by the general passenger agents.
It is Insisted that the members of the
aeooclatlon would scarcely be content to
rush from their offices to the meeting and
back home again. This has been shown
by their willingness to accept entertain
ments elsewhere.
It is not yet settled, but It Is likely F.
J. Haines, official photographer for Yel
lowstone Park, will give ' a stereoptleon
lecture on the park some time this week
In th.e parlors of the Hotel Portland. Mr
Haines Is a member ot the party which
came over the Northern Pacific with Gen
eral Passenger Agent Charles S. Fee, of
that line. He brought with him 100 beau
tifully colored views of Interesting bits
of park life, and a showing of these pic
tures. It is believed, would Interest all
tbe railroad men.
H. C Child president of the Yellow
stone Park Company, was also a member
of the Fee party, and there are no two
other men In the United States, aside
from tbe guides, who know more of
Yellowstone Park, than Mr. Child and Mr.
Haines. Charles L. Johnron and wife, ot
St. Paul, also came to Portland with
Mr. Fee. Mr. Johnson Is president ot the
Union Depot Company.
Others In the Fee party Included John
Francis, general passenger and ticket
agent of the Burlington and Missouri
River; F. L Whitney, general passenger
agent ot the Great Northern; H. P. Bev
Ington. secretary to Chairman James
Charlton, of the passenger association; J.
P. Branson, chief clerk In the passenger
department of the Rock Island; George
F. Lee. general passenger agent. Rock
Island; J. P. Elmer, general passenger
agent of tbe Chicago & Great Western;
A. B. Cutts. general paseenger agent,
Minneapolis St. Louis; G. T. Nicholson,
passenger traffic manager, Santa Fe. The
ladles In the party are: Mrs. Fee, Mrs.
Cutts, Mrs. Elmer, Miss Elmer and Mrs.
Lee.
A party of passenger men reached
Portland yesterday morning from San
Francisco. E. O. McCormlck, passenger
traffic manager of the Southern Pacific,
did not come with the party, but his
chief clerk, M. Gardner, did. R. A. Don
aldson, assistant general passenger
agent; and E. E. Holton. ticket auditor,
also came North.
Major S. K. Hooper, of Denver, general
passenger agent for the Rio Grande lines,
will come to Portland this morning. Be
sides being one of the best-known men In
railroad circles. Major Hooper has the
distinction of being the oldest general
passenger agent. In point ot service and
still occupying that position. In the coun
try. James Charlton, the chairman of
the association. Is probably the oldest
general passenger agent In the world, but
he Is not now identified with any particu
lar railroad.
All the Union Pacific lines are now rep
resented In Portland. A. L. Craig, gen
eral passenger agent for the O. R. & N
has his headquarters In this city. EL L.
Lomax. of Omaha, general passenger
agent of the Union Pacific: T. M. Schu
macher, of Salt Lake, traffic manager of
the Oregon Short Line, and David E.
Burley, general passenger agent of the
Oregon Short Line, reached Portland yes
terday. Not all the passenger men are in the
city, but there will be numerous additions
to the party this morning. Many of the
general passenger agents were so busy
that they could not get away In time to
reach Portland before the opening day,
but It Is fully expected by everyone now
In Portland that each of the SO lines
which are members of the association will
be represented In some manner at tbe
meeting when It convenes this morning.
The Canadian Pacific and its American
ally, the Soo. ere not members of the as
sociation. It has been stated to mem
bers of the association that the Canadian
Pacific will be represented here, though
the Soo will not. The Canadian's repre
sentation will be made as an act ot
courtesy.

to the department.
How Wealth Divides Up.
Philadelphia Press.
Nearly 30 years ago. In liTS. Controller
of the Currency Knox made an Investiga
tion Into the. ownership of national bank
shares. There were then 3eC.4s3 owners.
with a capital of Ses.QM.OM. The shares
were some larger and .smaller than ilOO.
owing to the state bank shares held over,
but reduced to uniform shares of S100
each, this was U.1 shares held by each
shareholder. Only 757 persons held over
30.000 ot stock.
The same Investigation has been made
again. With JOT.p6Q.000 of capital .there
are now 330,114 holders, making at tlOO-eaeh
an average of only 30.4 shares to each
stockholder. The capital has Increased, as
will be seen. M.C jer cent. The number
of stockholders has increased 58 per cent,
or one-half faster.
In other words, the division of property
has gone on with greater rapidity than the
Increase In Its amount. Recent move
ments In bank shares In New York have
led to a consolidation at the present time,
but this In due time will be divided by
the Probate Court and the natural action
of the laws ot trade. Even with this ten
dency toward consolidation, which is an
eddy in the general work' of division, it
stni remains true that during nearly 3
years, while there has been the constant
assertion that property was passing Into
fewer hands, this great body ot banking
property has continued dividing as fast aa
it was Increased In volume and in value.
ROCKCRUSHER AT WORK.
Base Line Road Is Repaired Asralnst
'Wishes of tbe People.
GRESHAM, .Or..Aprll 30.-SpecUU
The county's big rockcrusher was put to
work at Rockwood on Saturday last and
Is turning out crushed rock for tbe Base
Line road at the rate of 20 tons a day.
Teams are hauling the rock away as fast
as It is crushed, and are laying a center
track on tbe Base Line road 11 feet in
width and 10 inches deep. One mile of
this covering will be put down eastward
from Rockwcod as a Orst experiment.
After that tha Intention Is to continue
westward to Mount Tabor.
There Is considerable opposition to
crushed rock on tbo Base Line road, and
much complaint that the county does not
respect the wishes of the people. Two
years ago the people objected to crushed
rock on the Base Line road and won a
victory. The people along the Sandy road
want that kind of top dressing for tbelr
thoroughfare, as It Is better for that road
than gravel. Along the Base Line road It
is asserted that gravel is the beet and the
people want gravel, but no one can find
out why the County Commissioners, dis
regard the wishes of the people on both
roads, especially as there would be no
difference In the cost
Locating; Roadrray.
The rockplle at Rockwood is big enough
to cover ten miles of roadway, and will'
all be crushed before tbe machine Is
moved again. '
County Commissioners Showers and
Barnes were out here one day Jast week
looking aver the ground for the proposed
extension of Cleveland avenue from the
Powell Valley road to the point where
G res ham's railway depot will stand. .The
matter will come officially next Wednes
day before the County Court, but It Is
understood that the road will be built.
A blacksmith shop which stands In the
way will have to be moved, and a new
foundation Is being prepared for It. Some
of the roost progressive citizens here have
purchased a new location for the shop
and will move it without cost to the
owner.
Greaham Ifotes.
Special Agent Clement was here all last
week inspecting the rural free delivery
routes. He expressed himself well pleased
with everything except a few roads which
need attention.
Smelt have begun to run in the Sandy

TO TAKE MOVING PICTURES
Edwarcl Shields Ready for the Visit
of the President.
Edward Shields Is In receipt of a new
French moving-picture camera, which
came through tbe Custom-House direct
from Paris. The machine was brought
here for the express purpose of making

Clark monument, and also to take scenes
along the Columbia over tbe O. R. & N.
Co.'s lines.
The camera Is equipped-with all modern
appliances, the lens alone costing 1130.
The outfit Is a very compact affair, and
weighs less than 30 pounds.
Mr. Shields will test the lens some day
this week, and a portion of the exposed
film will be developed in The Oregonlan
photographic department, to see If every
thing la In good working order.
One of the first local pictures to be
made will be that of the crowd leaving
Cordray's - Theater the . afternoon ot

FIND VERY LITTLE MONEY
BURGLARS OPERATE OX EAST SIDQ
TO POOR ADVANTAGE.
Two Burglaries Early Yesterday
Mornlnsr Jfet Small Profit for
the Thieves.
Two burglaries, occurred on Union ave
nue some time during Sunday night. The
East Side saloon, at 43 Union avenue,
and also the Iowa lodging house, corner
Union avenue and East Stark street,
were the places entered. At the saloon
the burglar must have entered the front
door by means of a skeleton key. It was
found open yesterday morning when F.
M. Luttemelr went there to open up. al
though there was no evidence that force
had been, used to open the door. The
card machlre was taken away, -and about
no In cash was picked up In the saloon,
which had been left over from tbe pre
vious day. The "proprietor said that the
burglar had simply somehow unlocked the
front door, probably with & skeleton key.
The back door was also found open. Mr.
Luttemelr thinks that some one who was
familiar with the premises must nave
committed the robbery-
At the Iowa House a small robbery
was committed. I. F. Davis, the propri
etor, said that yesterday morning the
restaurant on East Stark was entered at
about 1 o'clock. The cook had laid down
In the back end of the room for the night,
leaving a lamp burning low. A -burglar
slipped Into the room and went through
the cooks pockets, taking JLS. all he
found. He then slipped into the office
alongside the restaurant where he made
a noise and awoke Mr. Davis, who was
