TO MAKE FIGHT FOR 1904
TRAVELING PASSENGER AGENTS
NOT TO COMB IN 1005.
Visit ml American Association One
Tear Earlier Will lie of Great
ValHe to Xewli and Clark: Fair.
The light for the annual meeting of the
American Association of Traveling Pas
senger Agents is to be made for 190i In
stead pf 1905; as originally contemplated.
The Qoast members of the association be
lieve that better results could be accom
plished, for the Ie wis and Clark Exposi
tion f the traveling passenger agents
were brought to the Coast a year ahead
of the big Fair.
The Pacific Coast Association of Traffic
Agents- has 'already Indorsed the move
ment Jn favor of Portland. Yesterday
Jay Adams, of San Francisco, president
of the association, urged Portland peo
ple to aid the passenger agents in their
light. He pointed out the fact that the
year following the meeting of the Amer
ican Association of Passenger Agents in
lxs Angeles over 60,000 Eastern tourists
-were sent to the Coast.
The traveling passenger agents come
Into contact -with every traveler "who
goes on an extensive tour. In fact, one
could not purchase a ticket without meet
ing a passenger agent, and more fre
quently lngthy conferences are held be
tween the railroad officials and the trav
eling public. If the members of the as
sociation are familiar -with Portland, as
they -would be if the meeting -were held
here next year, it is believed that thou
sands of new visitors could be secured for
the Lewis and Clark Fair.
President Adams, of the Pacific Coast
Association of Traffic Agents, is also the
Pacific Coast passenger agent for 'the
Nickel Plate system, with headquarters
at San Francisco. He has been in the
Northwest on business, but left last night
for his home. In discussing the proposal
to bring the annual meeting of passenger
agents to Portland he said yesterday:
Uo doubt the people of the Northwest,
and particularly the citizens of Portland,
are anxious to make a success of the
Iiewis and Clark Exposition. In my esti
mation, one of the best means by which
tills might "be accomplished is to have
your people assist the Pacific Coast As
sociation of Traffic Agents in bringing to
Portland in 1904 the 32d annual convention
of the American Association of Traveling
Passenger Agents.
"The 29th annual convention of the as
sociation convened in Los Angeles in 1901,
and In 1902 Southern California, with all
Its facilities, was hardly able to care for
the rush of Eastern visitors, over 60,000
tourists being the year's record.
"If the citizens of Portland and of other
cities in the Pacific Northwest will prop
erly back up the Pacific Coast Associa-'
tion of Traffic Agents, we can, without
doubt; bring the American Association to
Portland In 1904. In order to do this,
however, the work should be systema
tized and properly carried on.
"In my estimation; each of the great
transportation companies, the Southern
Pacific, Northern Pacific, O. R, &' N.,
Great Northern, Canadian Pacific and
Pacific Coast Steamship Company, should
send a representative to the New Orleans
meeting of the American Association,
which Is held in November, 1903, carrying
an invitation from these companies to
visit the Pacific Northwest in 1901. In ad
dition to this, the Mayor and Council of
the City of Portland should also extend
them an Invitation, "backed up by the di
rectors of the Lewis and Clark Exposition
and your Chamber of Commerce and
Board of Trade. As it would probably be
the purpose of the committee to show
them the Northwest after the convention
had adjourned, the Cites of Tacorna, Se
attle, "Vancouver, "Victoria and Spokane
should follow suit.
IncJ3entally, I "wish to say that a large
delegation of Coast members of the Amer
ican Association, who are .also members
of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic
Agents, will attend the New Orleans
meeting in November, and I believe that.
If Portland wants this convention in 1904,
the 'Pacific Coast Association can get
It here, if any one can. You must remem
ber they are the 'men behind the guns'
soliciting: traffic on this Coast, number
about4E0, and never give up when they
tackle a proposition. It's 'up to you' to
say if you want the American Association
of Traveling Passenger Agents to con
vene in Portland In 190i."
A"EARS ITS TERMINUS.
Track on Springnrater Ralliray Has
Been Laid io Deep Creek.
The Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company is pushing construction on Its
Springwater branch rapidly on toward
its terminus on the Clackamas River.
Rails have now been laid from Moring to
Deep Creek, and from the latter point on
a large force is grading preparatory to
laying track. That end of this railway
will be completed some time before the
stretch, between Lents and the terminal
grounds around by Sellwood.
Already the company is sending In lum
ber and cordwood from the Interior. Car
loads of lumber from the Boring sawmill
are arriving almost daily at the terminal
wharf. This Is a forerunner o what this
line Is supposed to be for, and an exten
sive local traffic will be. developed. The
company, or those interested in the com
pany has secured large tracts of timber
land adjacent to the line. At present
freight cars are Drought to the terminal
grounds over the Hawthorne-avenue and
.Mount Scott branch, but the freight line
-will be over the line around by Sellwood
and the "Willamette River when it is com
pleted. However,, it will be several
months before this portion of the line
will be completed, owing to the extensive
fills that are under way at the Portland
Woolen Mills and across the Martin tract
near Midway. The former embankment
is about two-thirds advanced, but the
Martin fill has just been commenced. It
is very doubtful whether these fills .will
be completed inside of six months. But
for these the track could he laid through
to Lents at once. The construction of
the line Is most thorough. There will be
no trestles to rebuild In a few years.
SURVEYORS HAVE FINISHED.
Itoute . Southern Pacific Branch
Tnrouprh. TSIilvrankle Determined.
The Southern Pacific survey crew which
has been at work at Mllwaiikle under
Engineer McLeod for some time, running
lines for the route of the new branch line
which will cross the Willamette River at
Oswego, has finished Its work. The route
of the -branch line runs through MI1
waukie, and through a portion of Rich
ard Scott's farm. It is understood that
this Is the route which has been recom
mended "by the engineer.
Residents of Milwaukie think that the
new road will benefit that place. They
will ask for a depot, which will probably
be conceded. The engineer has not given
out ahyk information. If he. knows, when
construction will be commenced, but the
impression is that work may be started
this Fall on the suspension bridge south
of Oswego.
GOULD "WANTS THE LEHIGH.
"Would Give WaliaHU an Outlet to At
lantic Coast.
PHILADELPHIA, July 17. The Press
today prints the following: George J.
Gould is after the Lehigh. Valley Railroad
Company. His recent trip over the line
in company with General Manager Wil
bur and ex-President Wilbur was for the
purpose of getting information as to the
physical condition of the property and to
acquaint himself with the property of the
company at terminals.
For some time Mr. Gould has been de
sirous of getting control of this property.
The Lehigh Valley would give the Wa
hash an outlet to New York from Buffalo,
and, it is believed that arrangements could
be made with the Reading Company for
running trains through to this city.
ONE FARE FOR ROUND TRIP.
Low Rates to Conventions to. Be Held

CHICAGO, July 17. James Charlton,
chairman of the Transcontinental Pas

Laying; Track on New Road.
DENVER, July 17. A gang of 150 men
of a track-laying machine began laying
track on the Denver, Northwestern &
Pacific Railroad this morning. The first
rails of the main line were laid just one
year, lacking one day, after the company
was incorporated, and six months after
the first pick was stuck In the ground.
Since January 1, 1903, the construction
company has paid 'out In actual cash for
labor, material and supplies, over $3,000,
000. Forty-five miles of the main line has
had the grading almost finished, and
preparations are now being completed to
Inaugurate work on new contracts aggre
gating nearly $2,000,000.- These Include a
big tunnel through the backbone of the
Rocky Mountains, which will cost about
$1,500,000.
J. 31. Hannaford Coming:.
J. M. Hannaford, second vice-president
and traffic manager of the Northern Pa
cific, Is on his way to Portland. He
should reach this city early next week,
and will probably spend several days
looking over business conditions and the
business of his line.
Mr. Hannaford usually makes two trips
or more every year to the Pacific Coast.
He was in Portland a few months ago.
but as the time for moving the wheat
crop is approaching, and there is every
indication of a heavy demand for cars on
eastbound shipments, the present trip is
necessary, in order to keep in close touch
with affairs.

Greer, was" legally separated from Medo- j
rem William -Greer in 1597, and was grant- J
ed the legal custody of her child, the j
Issue of the union, with the consent of
the father. Subsequently, it is alleged,

trine of free love, and continually in
veighs against the Institution of 'marriage,
declaring tho right of every woman to
bear children without the marriage rela

clares her desire to have the custody of
her child, and will not consent to the boy
being reared in a married home, into
which she says she never enters without
protest and for some exceptional reason.
She has become a lecturer upon the sub
ject of free love, and publicly rails .against
marriage as a relic of the dark ages.
While the grandparents have had pos

Arguments on the motion for ahew trial
In the breach-of-pro'mlse case of Birdie
McCarty against James Heryford were
heard by Judge Bellinger yesterday. At
torney John M. Gearln made the opening
speech for the defendant. He went over
the evidence fully and said It had been
shown that Heryford was ready and wil
ling to marry the woman, and sent money
to her to come from Michigan for that
purpose. Mr. Gearln asserted that the
verdict In favor of Miss McCarty for
$22,500 was excessive, and should be set
aside by the court. Rufus Mallory also
spoke In behalf of the- defendant.
Judge Thomas O Day, counsel for Bir
die McCarty, made a strong plea In favor
of his client. He maintained that the tes
timony fully justified the verdict of the
jury, and It ought not to be disturbed.
The attorneys will submit briefs to the
court covering the legal questions raised.

TO BUILD PLANT IN SEATTLE
Portland Cordage Company Wilt En
large Its BusinenB.
The Portland Cordage Company will es
tablish a plant at Seattle, to have a daily
output of 12,000 pounds and to give em-
ployment to about 100 perapna. Tho plant
will be of the same size as the one in
Portland, and will he operated in con
junction with the- Portland plant :
While it Is not definitely decided who 13
to be sent to Seattle to take charge of
tho -new plant. It Is likely that Secretary
E. R. Young will go. Work Is to be com
menced on the Seattle buildings at once,
and the plant will be ready for operation
by the first of the coming year.
The Seattle plant of the Portland Cord
age Company Is to be located at Smith's
Cove, where a tract of 17 acres has been
purchased. The first buildings of the com
pany will occupy about a block. The
bunuing will be conveniently located upon
the line of both the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern.
The reason for the company's detcrmi
nation to erect a plant In Seattle Is ex
plained by President S. M. Mears to bo
that there Is a market for the product on
Puget Sound and In the country tributary
to that place, and the Portland company
Intends to be in a position to handle the
trade.
It has been set forth by Seattle papers
that unusual concessions were made by
both the rail and steamship lines to in
duce the company to build the Seattle
branch. It was asserted that better com
munlcatlon with the Philippines, where
most of the company's hemp Is secured.
could be had from Seattle by way of the
Boston Steamship Company's line and the
Great Northern's fleet. In discussing this
phase of the question, Mr. Mears said
yesterday:
"There is nothing In that contention,
We will not be able to socure any better
steamship accommodations or better rail
rates from Seattle than we do In Port
land. The two cities are on a par. But
there Is a territory that the Seattle plant
could reach better than the ono In Pott
land, and wo want the factory for that
purpose. Instead of being compelled to
ship our product from Portland to Seattle
we will supply that trade from Seattle.
Both plants are to be run, and business
will be handled to the best advantage from
each."

Carriers on Wheels la 1807.
TURNER, Or., July IS. (To the Editor.)
I wish to protest against the statement
In tho Oregonlan of July 15, wherein you
say that the "first attempt to use a bicycle
on a rural route in the state was made by
Mr.. Schram." The fact is that the rural
carriers at this office have been delivering
mall on bicycles three and four months In
the year for five years. Indeed, the first
attempt to deliver mall on a bicycle over a
rural r6ute in Oregon was made October
16, 1SD7, almost six years ago. It was done
at this place by George F. Judd, who was
carrier Ifo. 3, when the service was
under the experimental system, carrier
No. 3 making his initial trip on a bi
cycle. Ever since that time as soon as the
roads get dry in the Spring, my carriers
use their wheela. G. F. ROBERTSON,
Postmaster.

GLADSTONE PARK, July 17. (Spe-
ciaL) "Rainbow Chasers" was the sug
gestive title of today's lecture by Robert
J. Burdette before the Chautauqua As

the excessive materialism and hard com
mercialism of the time, "a defense and

Woodmen Carnival Proposition
INVESTIQATE THIS
IT WILL PAY YOU
AllenS GilbertRamaker Co.
We realise we are a little out of the way
for visitors to the Carnival, and as an ex
tra inducement to have them call and see
our tine line of pianos and the matchless
bargains we arc offering at this time, we
have concluded to make the following
proposition? Each day during the Carni
val we will make a special reduction of
$36 on one piano only, of any piano you
may select. If the purchaser Is accom
panied by a Woodman, and In that event
the customer will be entitled to $25 and
$10 will go to the camp with which the
Woodman la connected for any purpose
they may see fit. Remember, we are mak
ing sweeping reductions on every piano In
the house at this time, which means more
piano value for your money than you
could possibly obtain elsewhere, and this,
with the $35 Inducement, should bring an
early customer each day. Here are the
prices we are naming:
$450 pianos now $3S6
$400 pianos; now 324
375 pianos now 236
350 pianos now.. 284
325 pianos now..j., 24a
. 300 pianos now 233
273 pianos now 224
pianos now l&
As stated before, we have to dispose of
a large; number of pianos before we move
Into our new building, which Is being
erected for us at the corner of Sixth and
Morrison streets, where we will have the
finest, largest and most up-to-date music
store In the Pacific Northwest. All pianos
sold on our easy-payment plan of $6, $S,
$10 and $15 per month, and all contracts
held by us, thereby securing safety to you
In case of sickness or out of employment.
Nothing In our line with soft wood paint
ed cases and celluloid keys. Present
copy of this ad. If you want to take ad
vantage of the $25 proposition.
