10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 21, JL&uj. WANT THE LUMBER Timber of Central Oregon Desired for Freight, RAILROAD MAY 60 VIA SAHflAM Extcnislon of Corvallls & Eastern Would Offer Short Route to Main Line of O. R, & N. Willing to Make Traclca&e Agreement. Now that the Columbia River & North ern is In shape to bring into Portland the trade of a large and rapidly growing section of the Columbia Valley, there will be a revival of the Interest In the proposed road to Central Oregon. The Columbia Southern, through the fact that It will have with the completion of the portage railroad an Independent route into Portland, has a strong point In its favor, but since the recently printed views of Mr- Nash and Mr. Hammond on Central Oregon trade and transportation, 1 number of people are Inclined to favor rolng into the new country by way of the Santiam pass. The representatives of Mr- Harriman have stated that they re garded the timber resources of Central Oregon of greater value fom a railroad standpoint than anything else In that part of the state. A market for practi cally all of this timber must be found In the East, and the objection raised by the Harriman people to taking It out over a proposed extension of the Columbia Southern is that it would be a long, roundabout haul out to Biggs and thence east over the O. R. '& N. They claim that If the timber belt of the Deschutes is tapped by a railroad it should be a line which would make the shortest possible haul from Central Oregon to the Eastern markets. An extension of the Corvallls & Eastern railroad from Its present terminus across the state,to Ontario would offer this short route tothe main line of the O. R. & N., and would land this lumber at On tario with a haul of at least 200 miles less than would be necessary in taking ft out by way of Biggs. The Corvallls & East ern is already completed to the edge of the Warm Springs Agency country, which promises to be a romarkably productive wheat region, and surveys made on easy grades extend clear across the state to Ontario. The cost of the line from the present terminus of the Corvallls & Eastern to the Deschutes would be but little greater than that of the proposed extension of the Columbia Southern, and when the Deschutes Is reached a sufficiently al luring field ahead would be disclosed to warrant the extension of the road out through the Harney and Malheur coun try. Mr. Hammond is on record as saying that he will make trackage agreements with any company that will connect with the Corvallls & Eastern, or he will sell that road outright The wonderful tim ber resources which already make a big traffic and have built up the thriving settlements at Mill City, Halstead, Berry, Detroit and Idanha, insure nearly as good a revenue for the road already com pleted as Is enjoyed by the Columbia Southern in its present shape. The Des chutes Echo is authority for the state ment that the Corvallls & Eastern route is more favored by the timber Interests In the Deschutes than the Columbia South ern. Under date of July 11 that paper printed the following: On the 23th day of this month a newly formed organization of Minnesota, "Wisconsin and Mich I gran lumbermen, owners of timber In this vicinity, will meet In the city or Chi cago for the purpose of pending a committee to confer with Harriman, when he returns from Europe in th latter part of August, on the question of an Eastern connection for market ing the timber of this region. The purpose of the meeting is also to arrange for Mr. Har rlman's benefit a showing of the yearly amount of freightage that the organisation could give a railroad and also find out whether he is desirous of owning and controlling the tapping road or what terms he would make. The Cor vallls & Eastern route has so far been the only route under the consideration of this or ganization. IVe are in receipt of a letter from the secretary of the organization asking for detailed information as to the amount of sup port the irrigation projects in this region would give a railroad, ajpo for Information as to the progress In irrigation work. This looks like real business. The construction of this road across the Etate fom west to east, while it might have the effect of heading off the con struction of the Columbia Southern ex tension as far south as the timber belt, would only temporarily keep It out of the wheat region of the Haystack and Agency Plains country. The Columbia Southern has a downhill haul to tidewater, and in connection with the portage road could probably land wheat at Portland cheaper than any other road that goes into Cen tral Oregon. The Northern Pacific Rail road will be "just across the river" from Biggs within a short time, and if Its characteristic aggressiveness is still in evidence it may in due season be hauling yellow pine lumber out of Central Ore gon from south to north, while the Cor vallls & Eastern Is In similar -business with a west to east haul. ARCHBISHOP IN DAWSON Most Rev. Alexander Christie Warm ly Welcomed In the North. The visit of Archbishop Alexander Christie. D. D., to Dawson, is described os follows In the Dawson Dally News of July 4: "The Most Reverend Alexander Christie, D. D., archbishop of the Catholic church, with headquarters at Portland, Or., who arrived on the Selkirk, will remain in Dawson until the first steamer leaves for the Lower Yukon. "Archbishop Chrjstle is known as the archbishop of Oregon City, the name be ing taken from the oldest town In the State of Oregon- His "province' Includes the States of Oregon, Idahoy. Montana and Washington, and the district of Alaska. For many years he was affiliated with the St. Paul archdiocese aa rector of St. Stephen's Church at Minneapolis. June 29, 189S, he was consecrated bishop of Vic toria, Vancouver Island, and April 11, 189 promoted to the archleplscopal see of Oregon City. "The present trip of Archbishop Christie, he says. Is merely for sight see ing and recreation. He may go as far north as Nome. " 'My time Is limited.' says the arch blahop, 'and I may have to turn back eooner than I desire. 1 Intend, if my time is sufficient, to go to St. Michael and Nome. I shall leave for the Lower Yukon on the first steamer going down the river from Dawson. "'It Is a. pleasant surprise to me to find Dawson such a well-governed and orderly city. I was on the streets yesterday, and saw no rowdyism nor drunkenness. " "I am delighted with the North. The scenery is marvelous. I also am pleased with the people I have met In my travels in the North. We spent last Sunday at Skagway and I was delighted with the people there. I did not have an oppor tunity to visit Juneau, but will oo so on my return trip. The transportation com panies also have shown us the greatest courtesy. " 'Father Rene, prefect apostolic for Alaska, will pass through Dawson en route to the Dower Yukon on a tour of in spection this Summer. He may be here within ten days or two weeks. He has made several trips to the Lower Yukon. His headquarters are in Juneau. " 'Father Jacquet, who lost his mind at ' Nome last Fall and was taken outside .for treatment has recovered his sanity but Is not in as good health as he should be. He probably will be fully recovered within a short time. He is in Southern California. I think the Northern climate must have had much to do with his unfortunate ex perience last FalL He has suffered from rheumatism and that may have aggra vated his case.' "The archbishop is a man of exception ally large physical stature. He. is tall and commanding and has in his appear ance the attributes of a man of capacity and strength. His speech is firm yet tem pered with courtesy in every tone. The archbishop is a man beyond middle life, but is buoyant of step. His hair is slightly gray and his eyes a clear blue. "Sir Alexander McDonald, ecclesiastical knight of the Catholic church, has Invited the archbishop to take a trip to the Klon dike Creeks, and the distinguished vleltor may make the trip within the next two or three days." VISIT NATIONAL PARK. Deputy Count? Assessor Maxwell Re turns From Vacation Trip. After a two weeks vacation spent amid the wonders and the wonderful scenery at the Yellowstone National Park, Deputy County Assessor L. H. Maxwell returned to his labors yesterday. He Is now more than convinced that the United States Is the greatest Nation on earth, and has the largest, most magnificent and wonderful PROPOSED. ROUTE OF EXTENSION park in the world. He was accompanied by his mother and they made the tour of the park In company with a German Count, a Spanish professor of chemistry from a university at Barcelona, and a pair of globe trotters, one from New York and the other from London, all of whom have been practically all over the world, and all of whom confessed that they had nowhere seen such wonders of nature or such grandeur of scenery as that In the Yellowstone Park. They took a coach for the trip through the park over four steel bridges anfl splendid roads and found accommodations at first-class hotels, the coach stopping for them whenever they decided to tarry over night. In addition to the spouting geysers, the wonderful paint pots and majestic scen ery, the wild animals In the park proved a great attraction. There are 3000 elk in the park, so tame that they scarcely notice travelers, and herds of uer. The borders of the park, 00 miles square, are guaded by squads of soldiers stationed at many points, who patrol the boundary lines to prevent people from running herds of deer and elk across the line to where they can shoot them outside. There aro many bears In tho park, and the waste and garbage from the various hotels Is carried and dumped in places where the bears come down to clean It up, which they do In fine style, licking the empty tin cans clean. Parties of guests staying at the hotels go out at lusk to see the bears come down out of the hills to feed. One evening, while several old black bears and cubs were eating, some one made a noise which startleti the bears, who do not get so tame aa the elk, and they started off on a run, while the guests also made a break for the hotel at top speed. Another evening a party had waited for the bears for some time and presently a huge grizzly came down on a run and some of tho crowd ran for the hotel while others climbed trees. The "chef" of one of the hotels, while wating to see the bears one evening, was startleu by the "woof, woof of a bear, which came snorting out of the brush, and he climbed a tree Ull he could go no higher and remained there till the bear went away. He was more scared than ever when told that bears could climb trees faster than he could. In some of the streams fishing Is al lowed and tho trout are so plentijpl that as many are caught at a cast as there are hooks on the line. STILL BOOMING OREGON. Earth Tozler Weatlierred Inter viewed by Atlantic City Prea. "Yes, I am from away out In Oregon, and It Is so far West that it begins to be East; for we are in close touch with the Orient, the islands of the Pacific and, in fact, the world a country unsurpassed in natural endowments, cultivated re sources, vast opportunities and marvelous possibilities. Our climate is neither se vere In Winter nor extreme in Summer. "You Easterners go yearly to Europe, rave over the grandeur of scenery, leav ing the impression that the Creator neg lected Uncle Sam's great plantation, when here, and far beyond the Rockies, we can present a panorama unsurpassed on the globe. "In the great Northwest gigantic moun tains of perpetual snow tower high Into the blue heavens. Waterfalls leap hun dreds of feet Into lordly rivers and pass through gorgeous natural waterways to the sea. Our valleys are rich In fields of wheat and other grain, three to five thou sand acres In one plat, and massive for ests, where trees stand two and three hundred feet, 10 to 12 feet In diameter, for a distance of 50 feet. "In 1905 the Oregon country will cele-. brate the 100th anniversary of the expe dition of Lewis and Clark, sent out by President Thomas Jefferson. Great and grand preparations are going on, all of which will be finished by May 1, 1905, and the world is Invited to come and view the resources of America and the Orient. "We also hope to have the International League of Press Clubs with us in June of that year, feeling sure that 'their en tertainment will surpass all previous oc casions." 2CSIXK5S ITEMS.

Jay Adamn, President of Association, Gives Oat IntervieTrs With Lavish Hand. Jay Adams, Pacific Coast passenger agent of the Nickel Plate, Is distributing the ISM meeting of the American Associa tion of Traveling Passenger Agents with a lavish neas that suggests the Idea that he controls the meeting. A few days ago he hurried Into Portland from San Fran cisco and gave forth a written Interview advocating the cause of thl3 city. He rushed off from Portland to Puget Sound, and found his way into the Seattle pa pers with the declaration that there was no place like Seattle for the meeting, and that city should have It if it hustled. Portland railroad men are expecting a similar promise to develop at Tacoma and other Northwest points. The only significance to Mr. Adams rec ommendations is that he is president of the Pacific Coast Association of Traffic Agents. He has given out his Interviews OF CORVALLIS & EASTERN RAILROAD THROUGH CENTRAL OREGON. as such an officer, and they are presumed to carry some weight. The Pacific, Coast Association of Traffic Agents Indorsed the plan of bringing the National Association to Portland In 1905, at the February meeting held at Ash land. The minutes of that meeting show M. J. Roche, Portland representaUve of the Rio Grande, proposed the plan, and It was adopted. Since that time It has developed that St. Louis will not want the passenger agents' meeting in 1904, and the Portland campaign was changed to bring the traveling passenger agents here next year. As president of tho Coast organization, Portland traffic men expected Mr. Adams to support the action of the Coast xmeet ing. There has never been any official action that would Indicate any intention on the part of the traffic men to abandon their fight, and Mr. Adams' representa tions at Seattle are regarded in an un friendly light. An offer of assistance in the Portland fight came a few days ago from the presi dent of the National association, and there Is no question but that the Coast delegates to that meeting will be unani mously in favor of this city if Mr. Adams does not interfere too much. Here is the way he talked In Seattle: "There Is no reason why Seattle should not be selected. It Is the most ' appro priate place, and Its hospitalities are well known to railroad men throughout the country. We need the co-operaUon, how ever, of every railroad official and every business man In' this vicinity, and if we can go to New Orleans with a third of the delegates pledged for Seattle, we ought to win without difficulty. "The very fact that so many Important lines have their terminals here is in Itself a strong argument for us, and I think that if some earnest pioneer effort is made to this end, together with the added Influence of the municipal authorities and representative business men, Seattle will be able to entertain a conference In 1904 that will greatly Increase Its prestige as a city of Industrial and commercial ac tivity and enterprise." The following is an illustration of the way Mr. Adams urged the Portland peo ple to go forth and work for the National meeting. In this Interview he pledged the support of the Pacific Coast organiza tion. Mr. Adams said here: "No doubt the people of the Northwest, and particularly the citizens of Portland, are anxious to make a success of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. In my esti mation, one of the best means by which this 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." FUNDS FOR NEW BRANCHES. Northern Pacific Sells Bonds at Good Price for Extension. NEW YORK, July 20. (Special.) The listing of the usual annual allowance of $1,500,000 Northern Pacific prior Hen 4s indicates that the Northern Pacific has sold that amount of these bonds to finance tho Improvements and purchases of the year as allowed under the terms of the mortgage of 1S93. The bonds were apparently sold at 100 and lOOtf. This means that the Northern Pacific has found no need to Issue notes to finance its Improvements for the year, as has been the case In two notable In stances. It would also appear that the sale of these bonds has been accom plished without seriously Injuring the standing or prestige of the prior Hen Is sue, the price at latest quotations being lOOU- The total authorized issue of these bonds is $120,000,000, cf which $25,000,000 was reserved to pay for Improvements, to pay for Unes purchased, or to take up the securities of roads purchased, the to tal not to exceed $1,500,000 a year. Of this $25,000,000 the road still holds unsold $16,000,000, after provision Is made for the expenses of 1903. Mr. Hill gives as the chief reason for the Issue of notes In preference to bonds at the present time the fact that by the establishment of a price for bonds In the present market the standing of such bonds may be permanently Impaired. That this Is not the case where a rail road is provided with a well-established issue, with the privilege of selling at discretion, seems to be proved by the ex perience of the Northern Pacific in the present Instance. The whole expense of the Improvements detailed will not be met by this charge to capital account, the re mainder being charged to current earn ings. The Improvements and purchases to be financed by this Issue of $1,500,000 include the following items: Washburn branch, Iron River to Wash burn, Wis., 34 miles, opened in Septem ber, 1502. Bellingham Bay &. Eastern, Wicker sham, Wash., to Falrhaven, 23 miles. Washington & Oregon, Kalama, Wash., to Vancouver, 29 miles, bought in Octo ber, 1302. Port Townsend & Southern, Port Town send to Qullcenc, Wash., 2S miles, and Olympla, to Tenlno, 16 miles, bought in December, 1902. I THOUSANDS OF BANKERS. Reduced Rate on Railroads Will Draw to San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, July 2a Passenger Traffic Manager E. O. McCormlck, of the Southern Pacific Company, returned last night from Chicago, where he has been for several weeks, attending a meet ing of the Transcontinental Passenger Association. The latter made a rato of one fare xor the round trip for -the Amer ican Bankers' Association, which Is to hold Its annual convention In this city 'next October. It has about 7000 members, and about half of them are expected to come to California, The local bankers are to raise among themselves $35,000 to pay for helr enter tainment. A rate of $50 for the round trip from Chicago has been decided upon for the triennial conclave of the Knights Templar in San Francisco in September,, 1904. McCormlck thought It probable that a similar rule would be for the convention of the National Livestock Association in Portland, Or., and for the Trans-Mlssls-sppi Commercial Congress, at Seattle. Eastern passenger officials Informed him that Grand Army travel to San Francisco would be very large from all points of the country cast of Omaha. He said that the attendance from places west of Omaha would also be large. No successor Is to be appointed to S. F. B. Morse, of New Orleans, who recent ly resigned as assistant passenger traffic manager to go Into business in New York. General Passenger Agent Anderson, at Houston, will hereafter attend to all pas senger matters of the company east of El Paso. California is Cnrlou. Inquiries relaUve to Oregon, and to Portland In particular, are coming Into local railroad offices from California in larger numbers than at any previous time. The inquiries from the East have shown a steady increase, but this Is not regarded as unusual. It is the interest taken in Oregon by Callfornlans that has attracted attention. "This condition Is significant." declared Advertising Agent .Hall, of the O. R. &. N., yesterday. "Callfornlans have not been so deeply Interested in Oregon in the past as to give any intimation that there was a general desire to know more of the state. In fact. It Is not a long time since we received no Inquiries from that state. I believe the great Increase In inquiries from California this year is one of the best evidences of Oregon's growth and the interest the people of the entire coun try are taking in this state." Traffic, Men .in San Franclnco. General Passenger Agent A. L. Craig ana uenerai Freight Agent R. B. Miller, of the O. R. & N.. aceomnanied bv Gen eral Passenger Agent W. E. Coman. of the Southern Pacific, have gone to San Francisco in response to a request for their presence in that city. No intimation naB Deen given here of the -object of the visit, but since Mr. Craig handles all traf fic matters in Oregon for the Southern Pacific, It is believed a conference of freight and passenger men of the Harri man system on tho Coast has been called. There Is a feeling among railroad men that the conference has to do with future plans of the traffic departments relative to the operation of both the Southprn Pn. clflc and O. R. & N. bureaus. It Is likely that the traffic men will be detained sev eral days in San Francisco, and In the meantime local officers insist they know nothing of the meaning of the islt. Keene Takes Appeal.

Thermometer Re gist era Ol Degrees and Although It Has Been Rotter Before, Heat Was Oppressive. Mr. Beals, the weather man, say3 that it was hot yesterday because of the hu midity. That's a word that sounds nice, and cool, but if he says that the humid ity is responsible, it must be so. Mr. Beals sat In his shady retreat In the Fed eral building and saw the thermometer go up to.91 deg. without a qualm. Meanwhile the man on the street and the woman over the kitchen stove thought It was 101 deg. or even 1001. With the "humidity at 36 the atmosphere was like a steam bath. On June 6, when the mercury went away up to 97 deg., the humidity register stood at 19 points. Therefore the heat on that day was not felt half so much as yesterday, though the actual temperature was 6 deg. higher. So the collars wilted and the dinners didn't taste very good. In Portland the heat is usually greatest about 2 o'clock, but yesterday was an ex ception. Not until 10 o'clock did the ther mometer get above 70 deg. Then from 72 at 10 o'clock It worked away slowly xmtll at noon tho mercury stood at 78 deg. This wasn't hot enough to hurt, but every one began to complain of the heat. While every one else was resting at noontime, the sun and Mr. Beals got in their best work, and when unfortunate mankind went to Its labors again at 1 o'clock the thermometer registered 83 deg. Few outside the Weather Bureau had any knowledge of the conditions of the humidity with which to console them selves. They said It was hot, and many added some adjectives just to cool them selves by speaking of warm places. The mercury climbed ahead. At 2 o'clock It stood at S3 deg., at 3 it was up to the SS hole. It hit the highest mark at 5 o'clock, when 91 deg. was reached. Then for an hour the town sweated big drops. All this time the air was full of mol3ture, and every tiny drop was steaming before It hit the pavement. Not until after 6 o'clock did the mercury drop below 90 deg. Then the electric fans and whlrly-whirly sprink lers on the lawns did the rest for a cool evening. TWO LABOR FACTIONS. American Union Begins Active Cam paign in Portland. The American Labor Union, having In duced one Portland union to break away from the fold of the American Federation of Labor, is about to begin an active cam paign with the" ultimate view of gather ing all the malcontents In the local camp. Daniel McDonald, of Butte, Mont., the president of the American Labor Union, Is in the city 'looking over the situation and instructing his lieutenants. His arrival has been kept a secret by the members of his order. Thus far the Painters' Union has been the only organization to Join tho Ameri can Labor Union. Other unions of the Building Trades Council are expected to follow the lead of the painters and wlth I draw from the Federated Trades Council, the central bociy of the federation In Portland. T. F. Latimer, the state or ganizer of the American Labor Union, has been In the city for several months quietly talking "in the interests of his order. Though he did not conceal his purpose, the members of the Federation unions welcomed him at meetings and re peatedly asked him to address them. Now the result of this brotherly love scheme is apparent. The American Labor Union Is especially strong In the Rocky Mountain States, where it originated with the Western FedratIon of Miners. It has rapidly spread over Wyoming, Colorado and Mon tana, and now has a strong following in Western Washington. It was predicted months ago that an attempt would be made to enter the Portland field, but Mr. Latimer stoutly denied this up to the last. When he was on an organizing tour in Southern Oregon his friend? in Portland declared no effort would be made to work In Portland. The organization which Is headed by McDonald openly announces Its intention of entering Into politics at every oppor tunity. Its advocates speak .of It as formed of advanced unions instead of the trade unions of the American Federation of Labor. Tho United Brotherhood of Railway Employes, well, represented In this city. Is affiliated with it. Now Mc Donald and Latimer will try to Induce other unions to join their ranks.

Bovrman Pnya a Visit to a Rich Section of the State. The Coos Bay country Is to be brought Into closer connection with Portland be fore long, and both Portland and that region are to be benefited thereby. So reports J. L. Bowman, of the Browns villa Woolen Mills, who has Just returned from a two weeks' trip to the Coos Bay country, where .ho has been making trips for the past ten years, but has never before found things so prosperous thero as on this visit. "The whole country," he said, "is fast filling up with new people. New build ings of o,l kind3 are being erected in Marshilcld and North Bend, and saw mills, shipyards and coal mines are run ning full blast. The dairy industry of Coos County Is very great, and" the farm ers are not only prosperous, but wealthy.

No Restrictions the Papers country- The wholesale houses of Port land find the merchants not only willing, but anxious, to put In goods from Port land. As ono merchant put it, 'We live In Oregon, pay our taxes In Oregon, and It Is to our Interest to purchase all the goods we can In tho state.' "Tho second Important thing Is that a railroad which Is no doubt the Southern Pacific Is running a survey for a road from Drain, on the main line, to Marsh field. This company has had men in tho field for the past three months carefully going over every foot of ground from Drain to Crescent City. Now a force of 22 men Is making the survey, which fol lows Elk Creek to Elkton, then tho Umpqua River to a point near Gardiner and direct across to Coos Bay, passing Ten-Mile Lake. "The surveyors deny that they are con nected with the Southern Pacific, but their Instruments are all marked S. P. Co..' and they make their reports direct to the Southern Pacific Company In San Francisco. "When the road is built It will open up the finest section of country In Oregon. The amount of fine timber Is enormous, tho valleys along, the rivers and sloughs are exceedingly rich for both agriculture and dairying, and the whole country Is underlaid with a good quality of coal."
