President E. B. Lytic of the Columbia
Southern, and T- B. Wilcox, ox we jron
land Flourlnp Mills Company, returned
to Shanlko this evening after a 200-mlle
rn throuch Central Oregon- The
party went through to Bend by way of
Prlnevllle and returned by way of the
Haystack country and across the agency
plains from Bend. A 30-mlle trip was
mart smith throuch the Yellow Pine
i belt. The railroad men were enthusias
tically received all along the proposea
rnntn. hut thn desired data regarding the
various sections visited is not yet In
such shape as to enable them to com
plete the report for Mr. Ha trim an.
Mr. Mohler was accompanied by Chief
Engineer Kennedy and rroiessor rxencn.
of the Agricultural Department of Idaho
"University. Chief Engineer Hammond, of
the Columbia Southern, was also with the
party. He was In charge of the eurvey
of the proposed extension of the Colum
bia Southern last year and is familiar
with all sections of- the country which
the proposed road will tap.
Professor French will make a Teport on
the nature of the soil, climatic conditions,
etc, and his report will undoubtedly
have considerable bearing on the final
decision of Mr. Harriman.
Mr. Mohler expressed himself as well
pleased with the timber resources south
of Bend and also with the rich farming
sections lying between Shanlko and Cul
ver. He was less favorably Impressed
with other portions of the route, and
while declining to express an opinion on
the extension proposition as a whole, Is
apparently not displeased with what he
Has seen. Mr. Wilcox is well pleased
with the country and thinks there is no
doubt whatever of the extension proving
a financial success.
The route of the party was down the
east side of the proposed extension and
the Teturn trip was up the west side as
far as MadrasI, from which point the
line of survey was followed most of the
way Into Shanlko. A heavy rain fell
yesterday, and the CO-mlle stretch of the
route that was covered today presented
a very beautiful appearance.
The citizens of Prineville have ap
pointed committees to secure statistics
and have promised to have them ready
early this week. These statistics will be
used together with the report of Pro
fessor French and the observations of
the railroad men themeftjves, and as
soon as possible Mr. Harriman will be
In full possession of the facts regarding
Central Oregon, present and "prospective
President Mohler and party returned to
Portland this evening.
FACTS ABOUT SLEEPER BERTHS.
Railroad A?ent Removes Some False
Impressions of Travelers.
"Cars going East and South are all
crowded, and people are fighting for
berths in sleepers," said a man coming
out.of a railroad ticket agent's office yes
terday. "These railroads are making more
money than they know what to do with,"
he continued.
The person addressed stepped inside to
see what the agent had to say about this
He said: "Travel is very good, but we find
no difficulty In accommodating all call
ers. The man you met must have been
a fellow who wanted a lower berth. When
travel Is lively the lower berths run out,
but upper berths can always be obtained.
This Is the bone of contention between
the railroad agents and the public." he
continued. "Everybody wants a lower
berth, but all cannot get them. In the
eyes of a railroad man, an upper berth is
just as good as a lower. They are made
to sell and he has to sell them.
"Don't you sometimes hold out a lower
and try to sell an upper?" queried the
caller.
"Never; not in this office. I know some
think we do, but we would get into all
kinds of trouble if wo undertook that- Oc
casionally some one who has taken a
berth has to give it up, not being able to
take th,e Intended trip, and a man who
could not get a lower berth In the morn
ing thus sometimes is able to secure one
at the depot just as the train is starting.
He may think there is something wrong
about this, but he Is mistaken."

NURSES FOR THE POOR.
Good Work Done by Portland Visiting-
Nurses' Association.
The Portland Visiting Nurses' Aesocla
tion, organized a year ago, held Its sec
ond election of officers yesterday after
noon at the First Presbyterian Church.
Dr. T. L. Eliot gave an interesting ad
dress which he termed "a little talk on
the refinement of charity," and Dr. E. P.
Geary epoke in a convincing manner of
the great good that has been and may be
accomplished "by the society.
Mrs. Stephen S. Wise was re-elected
president, and Miss Waeserman, the sec
retary, was also re-elected. Mrs. Clarence
Nichols Is the new treasurer elected to
succeed Mm Teal.
During the year the association has em
ployed Mrs. Lucy Morgan to make free
professional visits to the sick poor and
her careful and conscientious work was
warmly praised by Mrs. Millie Trumbull,
who reported for the friendly visiting
committee. Mrs. Trumbull wbb unable to
be present, and her report yas read by
the Secretary. Miss Wasserman.
Mrs. Trumbull eald that many mistakes
had been made by the association, but
that In no case had there been a failure
of effort to render aid where It was
needed.
"In many cases," Mrs. Trumbull said,
"the nurea's effort is only the forerunner
of aid to the family, of food and of cloth
ing. To be patient with the Roosevelt
Idea of large families Is hard when one
sees homes of one or two rooms sheltering
a family of father "mother and eight
children, with needed clothing, sheets, pil
low cases and table linen conspicuous by
their absence, and to discover in cases
like this that household work for the eld
est daughter in a family like this Is con
sidered degrading."
Mrs. Trumbull said that the society's
work was often hindered by the familiar
assertion that "Portland has no poor."
She said that at present the association's
strength was entirely inadequate for the
work'whlch should be, done In neighbor
hood nursing, and that furthermore there
was a great need for a hospital for suf
fering poor people.
Mrs. Wise said In her report that the
year had been rich In returns in many
ways and that the association has strong
hopes that when Its work is better un
derstood, financial aid will be generously
brought to its assistance
"We are more than fortunate," said
Mrs. Wise, "in securing a nurse who Is
not only capable, but earnest and con
secrated, and are to be congratulated
on having a friendly visitor who has
shown great tact and love"
Mrs. Wise described a number of visits
made by the district nurses, among whose
patients during the year have been a
woman dying of consumption, with no
one to help her and take care of her but
two small children, and a young man who
later died In the hospital from a com
plication of diseases, and who had. until
the nurse's arrival, no one to take care
of him except his young wage-earning
sister. The sister was deeply grateful
for the nurse's help and said she had
come as an angel of mercy.
A woman who was eo sick as to be
barely able to get about and who yet
tried to take care of five small children,
was visited by the district nurse and
given treatment that completely restored
her to health. Mrs. Wise expressed warm
appreciation of the kindness of the hos
pitals and Portland physicians, who have
been very generous In their aid to the
association.
Dr. Eliot said: "It was a vist reform
in the art of charity when It began to
dawn, as it did very recently, that it was
our duty to help the poorer element of
society. The thought of scientific gov
erning has come to be considered more
Important than the giving part of it, and
In this broid philanthrophy the personal
clement is the very qulntescence of all
that Is to be done for the poor. The elec
tion of personality is entering more and
more Into charity.
"It surely Is very Interesting as we look
over the world's report of what the
strong are trying to do for the weak, and
to see the power of personality In it all.
Such little things as cheerful letters to
hospitals, far-away camps and bedsides,
and the floating hospitals, Sunday socie
ties, fresh air societies, and a dozen more
that I might enumerate are what I call
the refinements in charities. Here today
we are In the presence of a society that
might be called one of the flower so
cieties of philanthrophy."
Dr. E. P. Gray said that the helpful,
Tdndly ministry of women might well
form the basis of a great charity, and
spoke in terms of -sympathetic favor of
the work done by the Visiting Nurses'
Association In the homes of the Portland
poor.

FIGHT THE COUNTY'S SUIT
FIRST NATIONAL BANK GIVES HIS
TORY OF FORGED WARRANTS.
Purchased in Good Faith, They Were
Apparently. Indorsed as "Valid by
the County Treasarer.
The Flrst National Bank yesterday filed
its answer to the suit brought by Mult
nomah County to recover tax certificates
of the face value Of 57227, given in ex
change for county warrants amounting to
$4053, issued on forged road warrants.
The answer recites the history of these
warrants, which has frequently been pub
lished. It states that the warrants were
purchased In good faith by the bank be
lieving adequate compensation had been
received for them by the county, and the
Cbunty Treasurer accepted them and
stamped them "not paid for want of
funds." The bank, it is alleged, had no
notice or suspicion, nor could have, of any
act of the County Court or any person
that would invalidate the warrants, and
believed they would be paid by the County
Treasurer when presented, and that they
were a Just and valid obligation against
the county.
The circumstances of the suit brought
In the State Circuit Court by A. H. Maeg
ley, a warrant broker, who furnished evi
dence, concerning the issuance of the
fraudulent time checks, and had the war
rants declared Illegal, are detailed. It is
stated that Maegley held some of such
warrants, and received 30 per cent under
a contract with the county for having
them all declared void, and was paid J12lt
on the contract.
It Is further alleged In the answer that
In June, 1901, after negotiations extending
over a year, the bank turned the war
rants over to W. F. White a warrant
broker, who offered to purchase them for
25 per cent, amounting to $1013, and at the
request of White and solely for his benefit
the bank by its president signed the peti
tion to the County Court. The tax cer
tificates given In exchange are alleged to
have been based, many of them, on ir
regular assessments, and believed to be
of no apparent value and a number of
them Illegal and void, but which might
be made to produce some returns. The
bank denies that It received any considera
tion for the certificates or redemptions,
or that the court transferred them with
out Jurisdiction. The i answer contains
various" other averments, and concludes
with the statement:
"The bank had an equitable and moral
claim against the County of Multnomah
growing out of the issuing by the County
Clerk under his official signature and title
and In pursuance of orders regularly or
dered and made and entered of record by
the County Court of the aforesaid war
rants and the acceptance thereof by the
County Treasurer, and his Indorsement
'not paid for want of funds,' and the pur
chase for the full value thereof by the
bank from the holders of the warrants ap
parently regular on their face and Issued
in the ordinary course of business, and
without knowledge that the warrants
would not be paid upon presentation, and
said equitable claim against Multnomah
County furnished and was and is sufficient
consideration for the order of the County
Court made June 5, 1901, and the exchange
of the warrants for the tax certificates In
the order authorized to be transferred and
delivered upon the surrender of the war
rants." It is asked tha tthe case be dismissed,
and .that the defendants recover costs.
The defendants attorneys are Dolph, Mal
lory, Slmon"& Gearln.

FRAUD IN BANKRUPTCY CASE.
Louis Robinson on Trial for MaUIng
False Statements.
Louis Robinson, a clothing dealer on
North Third street, charged with making
false statements under the bankruptcy
law. was placed on trial in the United
States District Court yesterday before
Judge Bellinger and a jury.
Robinson's assets, it is stated, figured
up about $11,000. and he owed about $14,000
when some of his creditors attached his
property and he filed a petition In vol
untary bankruptcy.
The Indictment against him sets forth
that he Issued a bank check In favor of
H. Benjamin for $G75, which he asserted
he owed Benjamin, when In truth he
owed Benjamin nothing. For the prosecu
tion It is contended as a matter of proof
that Benjamin cashed the check and
turned the money over to Robinson. The
defense will endeavor to establish that
this latter never occurred, and that Ben
jamin retained the cash, as he was en
titled to.
A second count in the Indictment charges
Louis Robinson with concealing property
valued at $1200. It Is alleged that he
turned over property to this extent to
Lazarus Robinson and got the money, ana
said, when asked about it, that Lazarus
owed him the amount. Lazarus, on "the
contrary, stated that he paid Louis for
the goods. These false statements arc
charged to have been sworn to before
Alex Swede, referee In bankruptcy.
Rush Glltner appears as attorney for
the defense and Cecil Bauer as special
prosecutor in conjunction with District
Attorney John H. Hall.
Mr. Sweek testified that Robinson
stated before him on examination that he
gave Benjamin a check for $575 and re
ceived none of the money back; also that
Robinson stated he needed money and had
sold Lazarus Robinson $1300 worth of
.... t
swus were never paw lor. on cross- .
examination. Mr. Sweek said Louis Rob-
iuouu may nave saia .Lazarus Robinson
had not paid him, and the goods should
ic mere or toe money. i

NO VERDICT REACHED.
Jary Unable to Agree Whether or
Not Otto Llnke Is Guilty.
The Jury which sat in the trial of Otto
Linkc, who was charged with cashing
postofflce money orders which came here
addressed to Johannes Weinberg, disa
greed and was discharged by Judge Bel
linger yesterday afternoon, Weinberg Is
a sailor, and Ihe orders were sent here
while he was on a voyage to await his
arrival. He did not appear to proseeuto
the case, and Is supposed to have shipped
on some vessel recently.
The failure of Weinberg to present him
self in court as a witness against Llnke
weakened the case of the Government.
Llnke as a defense testified that he and
Weinberg came here together on the same
ship, and that he advanced money to
Weinberg, who told him. to obtain the
money orders and cash them. W. L.
Clemmens. a saloonkeeper who indorsed
one of the drafts for Llnke. testified that
he knew him only as a customer and
that Llnke told him his name was Wein
berg. Judge Bellinger Instructed the
jury that if they believed from the evl
cence that Weinberg authorized Llnke
to sign his name to the money orders,
Llnke was justified in so doing.

EXPERT TESTIMONY
Coffee Tried and Found Guilty.
No one who has studied Its effects on
the human .body can deny that coffee is a
strong drug and liable to cause all kinds
of Ills, while Postum Is a food drink and
a powerful rebullder that will correct the
Ills caused by coffee when used steadily
in place of coffee.
An expert who has studied the subject
says: "I have studied the vaiue of foods
and the manufacture of food products
from personal investigation, and wish to
bear testimony to the wonderful qualities
of Postum Cereal Coffee I was an exces
sive coffee drinker, although I knew It to
be a slow poison. First It affected my
nerves and then my heart, but when I
once tried Postum I found It easy to give
up the coffee, confirmed coffee fiend
though I was.
"Postum satisfied my craving for coffee,
and since drinking Postum steadily in
place of coffee all my troubles' have dis
appeared and I am again healthy and
strong.
"I know that even where coffee Is not
taken to excess it has bad effects on the
constitution In some form or other, and I
am convinced by my investigation that
the only thing to do If health and hap
piness are ot any value to anyone Is to
quit coffee and drink Postum." Name
