by Mr. Harriman and his immediate as
sociates, who have been closely identi
fied with the construction and successful
completion of the cut-ofl. They were
heartily congratulated by tho members of

terest in the character and technical
points of construction, especially that por

mately is to throw out of use 147 miles of
the most difficult and expensive railroad
ing in tho transcontinental system.

Southern Pacific, and party of prominent
railroad officials, who today formally
opened traffic over the 103-mile line of

Syndicate Succeeds Voting Trust In
the Seaboard Air Line.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26. Changes have
been made in the voting trust of the Sea
board Air Lino Railroad and in the
executive committee of the company,
which places tho railroad under the con
trol of the Ryan-Blaln syndicate, says
the Herald today. This syndicate recently
agreed to advance funds to rehabilitate
tho property, and was given equal rep
resentation on the board of directors
with the Southern interests and the Lad-cnburg-Thalmann
syndicate. It is said
a meeting of the voting trustees of
the executive committee had already
been held, and the changes which placed
the Blalr-Ryan syndicate in control had
boon mad.
The voting trust, which absolutely con
trols the property, expires In 1D10. As it
is now constituted, the voting trust In
cludes John Skelton Williams, Thomas
F Ryan. James A. Blair, T. Jefferson
Coolldgc, S. Davies "Warfield, John B.
Dennis, B. F. Yoakum and H. C Pierce.
Tho men who retired from the voting
trust in order to make room , for the
new Interests which dominate the prop-
f crty arc: S. B. Guineas, C. Sidney Shep-
nerd, Oaklelgh Thorn, William Marhursr
and James H. Dooley. The new executive
committee is composed of Messrs. 'Will
lams, Ryan, Warfleld, Blair, Dennis, Cool
icbje and fYoakum.
It Is understood Mr. "Williams -will
remain as president of the company, but
that a representative of the Ryan-Blair
syndicate will become chairman.
MUST ABSTAIN FROM LIQUOR.
New Regulation for Employes to Bo
Made by Northern Pacific.
One of tho reforms which President
Elliott will inaugurato on the Northern
Pacific with the new year is tho require--ment
that employes of tho road abstain
entirely from the use of intoxicating
liquors.
This means that after January 1, 1304,
not only is drinking to excess forbid
den, but that tho seductive social glass
either on or off duty is denied the com
pany's men. The violation of this rule
will be followed by immediate discharge.
The prohibition of the use of liquor Is
In effect on some of the big Eastern
systems, and is said to be very salutary.
What effect It will have on the North
ern Pacific cannot bo known at this time,
but operating officials of the road are
confident that it will result in great good
both to the road and its operatives.
WORK FOE GOVERNMENT.
Celilo Canal a Federal, Not Local
Matter.
PORTLAND, Nov. 25. (To the Editor.)
It does not seem that the Legislators of
Oregon, when they assemble next month,
need find serious difficulty In seeing what
is best to be done about the Portage road
and eelllo canal.
Tho facts in the matter are so plain
that there is little chance for mistake.
Commerce is delayed by natural obstruc
tions in the Columbia River at that point.
Congress has control of all the navigable
streams In the country. It Is the duty of
the Federal Government, and it has been
its policy, to remove obstructions to nav
igation wherever it found them. Hundreds
of millions have been expended for this
purpose. Our earlier statesmen realized
that it was to the interest of the whole
people that facilities for travel and trans
portation should be free and as complete
as possible, and that money spent in im
proving the rivers and harbors, within all
reasonable limits, was well spent, and so
the policy in the past has been generous.
If not lavish. The people along the rivers
secured appropriations from Congress by
asking for them. They not only asked, but
they pressed their requests In season
and out. They held demonstrative
mass meetings, or more stately dele
gate conventions, while aggressive
public opinion stimulated the press
of the locality, and the delegations
in Congress, and the Government respond
ed to the pressure. By these means the
appropriations were secured and the work
carried forward. It seems that Is the way
to push the Celllp Canal, within reason
able time. The people must show deeper
Interest In the enterprise, especially those
of the Inland Empire.
Some fear that the Government, In its
recent offer, is not sincere, that it will
delay completion of the work. I do not
share that apprehension. No doubt It
means what it says, and if the Legislature
at its coming session will abandon the
Portage road, set aside so much of the
51C5.OG0 as may be necessary to secure
right-of-way, and will turn that right over
to tho Federal Government, the great
work will be pushed through as speedily
as economy will permit. "Why delay when
the time for action Is here? There Is
great merit in this projected canal, and
on that may bo placed greater confidence
than some members of the Legislature
have expressed. Also as to the Intentions
of the Government. The canal Is needed
by a large and growing" section of the
country, and the people have a right to
ask and to expect that the Government
will build It- It is the policy and the
practice of the Government to comply
with such requests, and there is no good
reason for distrusting it in this case. Pub
lic pressure only is needed.
Some have not encouraged the canal
project for fear of offending the railroad
interests. There is nothing in that. No
intelligent person In this day and age Is
opposed to railroads, or would cripple
them in any way if he could. Wo all be
lieve in them, and want them, and like
to ride on them, and all fair-minded peo
ple are willing that men who invest thelr
money in railroads shall realize a reason
able profit therefrom. It is only when a
pig-headed policy is adopted by a railroad
company that the people kick, as they
have a right to do. A man who is compe
tent to be over a great railroad is broad
enough to see that to help his line and
his company the country he serves must
prosper. The moro it prospers, the bet
ter it is for him. The interests of railroad
and country are mutual, and there ought
not to be, and will not be, strife, unless
somebody is too short-sighted to be just
and fair.
Away back in the dim, mysterious past.
Providence commenced chiseling out tho
Columbia gorge, by water power, for the
benefit of all the people who inhabit this
region today. That gorge provides a
water level route to the ocean that is
worth uncounted millions, and it would
not bo right that any one interest should
monopolize this great gift to all. It should
benefit' all. "We are all glaa that this
gorge saved the railroad company the cost
of fearful grades and unimaginable tun
nels to achieve a transit of the Cascades,
but because we are glad of that, we are
also anxious to turn this great gift of na
ture so as to get all the good we can out
of it for everybody. Let the railroad en
joy its advantages, but let public rights
be served, as well. To that end the Celilo
Falls Canal must and will bo built by the
Federal Government, not in antagonism
to the railroad, but to preserve the rights
and Interests of the whole people, who
demand that it shall bo built

"WANT PREE RIGHT OF WAY.
Residents of Suburb Would Give It to
Railroad.
Residents in tho vicinity of Mount Ta
bor, Tabor Heights and easterly desire a
new line of railroad constructed along
the Base Line road for a distance of six
or seven miles to connect with tho Port
land Railway Company's East Burnside
Btreet line at the city limits. It is ex
pected that this company will carry out
the enterprise provided the necessary
franchise and rights of way are secured.
A petition, which has been circulated by
George Curry and others, has been very
numerously signed by propertS'-owners
and residents along the proposed line, and
the district embraced is a populous one.
The matter has been called to the atten
tion of the County Commissioners and
County Judge on different occasions, but
the petition has not yet been filed.
F. C. Barnes, County Commissioner,
speaking with reference lo the subject yes
terday, said he had been spoken to by
some of the petitioners and he understood
the petition contained a great many sign
ers. Mr. Barnes said he was not In favor
of allowing a street-car company to use
a county road, especially a road as much
traveled as the Base Line road is. Mr.
Barnes also stated that he understood
there were two petitions out, one of which
was circulated In the county district east
of Mount Tabor.
Judge "Webster has. expressed himself as
unfavorable to permitting the use of
county roads by railroad companies, but
this does not prevent the promoters of
the Base Line road route from presenting
their case to the County Court in the
regular way, when It will receive a hear
ing, and the franchise will be granted or
not, as the majority of the members of
the county board deem best.

'LONDON, Nov. fft Thanksgiving day
was celebrated by the American Society
in London at a banquet given at the
Hotel Cecil tonight. There were over
400 covers. "William J. Bryan was the
guest of honor.
Tho speeches, for the whllo flavored by
the seasonable cheer and references to
Anglo-American friendliness, developed
particularly into a duel of repartee, good
natured, but almost subacid, between Mr.
Bryan and Ambassador Choate.
There were a number of notable guests
at tho banquet, including the Duko of
Marlborough, Earl Denbigh of the Hon
orable Artillery Company, Lord Davey,
General Ian Hamilton, Gilbert Parker,

of Commons.
Toast to Roosevelt.
The Duke of Marlborough proposed a
toast to President Roosevelt, and ad
dressing himself to the Interests which
England and the United States have In
common, referred In terms of the high
est praise to President Roosevelt, and
spoke feelingly of the late Sir Michael
Herbert.
Ambassador Choate, responding to the
toast to his health, which was proposed
in complimentary terms by Lord Davey,
took up the Duke of Marlborough's ref
erence to the mutual sympathies of the
American and British peoples, and said
there had been reason heretofore to sus
pect some such sentiment on the part of
the Duke, since he had set an example
in one form of the Anglo-American alli
ance on which the people of both coun
tries were able to look with entire ap
proval. Doing Best He Can for Bryan.
Turning to Mr. Bryan, Mr. Choato said
it was the custom of Americans, torn
from their native shores, to gather to
gether annually and return thanks. The
American colony In London now had
among them another of these exiles, for
whom personally he, as Ambassador, had
been doing the best he could. He had
taken Mr. Bryan to visit tho Bank of
England, where he was able to study
the financial question in its native lair.
The company would be edified, said Mr.
Choate, had they heard Mr. Bryan cross
examining the Governor of the Bank, of
England. The Ambassador said he had
aided Mr. Bryan to hear Mr. Asquith,
Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Goschen and
Lord Rosebery, all within 48 hours, so If
his views on the financial question were
not utterly mixed they would appreciate
at least the quality of the man they had
before them.
Witty Response by Bryan.
The speech of the Ambassador was fol
lowed by an ovation to Mr. Bryan, which
lasted for several minutes. Mr. Bryan,
In responding, paid a graceful tribute to
the English guests of the society. Ho
said the highest compliment he was able
tOj pay was that In looking over tho
tables he was unable to distinguish the
English from the American women pres
ent. He thanked the British nation for
the kindly forbearance it had shown in
receiving him the protectionists for let
ting him land at all, and the goldbugs
for not having deported him Immediately
after his arrival.
Mr. Bryan said he had profited ex
ceedingly by his visit to the Bank of Eng
land. He wanted to call attention, how
over, to the fact that the murderous at
tack by an insane man with a revolver
on Mr. Kenneth Grahame, the secretary
of the bank, occurred tho day before he
called.
Touching the theme of Thanksgiving
day, Mr. Bryan spoke eloquently of the
natural resources and advantages of the
United States, for which tho people must
return thanks to God, and of the Ideals
of liberty and progress for which they
must thank their English progenitors.
He urged the necessity of the present
generation bequeathing to posterity some
gift commensurate with the blessings
they had received from their ancestors,
and suggested that they bequeath the Ideal
of International amity, of which Tho
Hague arbitration tribunal treaty was a
lasting monument.
"Hall to the nation," concluded Mr.
Bryan, '"whatever her name, who leads
the world toward this high Ideal for tho
lasting good of all humanity."

ings of the reception were most cordial.

to the prudent Introduction of new prin
ciples, but he believed the seeds sown
would grow to a mighty tree.
M. Combes said it was the duty of the
government to give the treaty la Its ex-

BIRDS BECOME PISHES I
Never, Says W. S. Griswold Deduces
Things From Dictum.
PORTLAND, Nov. 20. To the Editor.)
Dr. John Watson (Ian Maclaren) appears
In the last "Literary Digest" as the
prophet of a great revival. But his plan
appears to some of his associates to be
unorthadox. It Is more of a social than
evangelical regeneration, and is met by
Dr. Parkhurst, of New York, who says in
part: "Society 13 not to bo affected by
any new gospel of science, but by the old
fashioned gospel of rebirth."
Birth and rebirth have been the song of
creation since the "morning stars' sang
together." Some biologists delude thou
sands Into the belief that some species
can develop themselves Into another and
quite different species by some unknown
power of nature. Tho credulity that they
condemn In Christians is moderation it
self, compared with the notion that a fish
may become a bird, or a bird a quaUru
ped, each of which must Inevitably be
born, or reason Is given to man In vain.
If a new species requires a new birth
why should not a new man? Hence Dr.
Parkhurst may be right in assuming that
there will be no general revival of re
ligion without a rebirth, and If the old
orthodox idea of a "new birth" Is super
seded by the religion of humanity, men
may become outwardly religious; veneered
over with ceremonials, without possess
ing this predominanting principle of Chris
tianity, and hence without its power.
Perhaps tho progressive spirit of tho
age which denies miracles as superficial
and think that like Topsey, everything
grows of itself, will also deny that the
"new birth" of Christianity Is scientific,
but If nature Is permitted to Interpret
itself it is strictly according to science.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little' Bentfit Unless It Is Di
gested. Nearly every one will admit that as a
nation we eat too much meat and too lit
tle of vegetables and the grains.
For business men, office men and clerks,
and In fact everyone engaged In seden
tary or indoor occupations, grains, milk
and vegetables are much more healthful.
Only men engaged In a severe outdoor
manual labor can live on a heavy meat
diet and continue in health.
As a general rule, meat once a day is
sufficient for all classes of men, women
and children, and grains, fruit and vege
tables should constitute the bulk of food
eaten.
But many of the most nutritious foods
are difficult of digestion and It is of no
use to advise brain workers to eat large
ly of grains and vegetables where the
digestion is too weak to assimilate them
properly.
It is always best to get the best re
sults from our food that some simple and
harmless digestive should be taken after
meals to assist the relaxed digestive or
gans, and several years' experience have
proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be
a very safe, pleasant and effective diges
tive and a remedy which may be taken
dally with the best results.
Stuart'3 Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly
be called a patent medicine, as they do
not act on the bowels nor any particular
organ, but only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomachs lack, pepsin
diastase, and by simulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion of
hydrochloric acid.
People who make a dally practice of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal ore sure to have
perfect digestion, which means perfect
health.
There Is no danger of forming an In
jurious habit, as the tablets contain ab
solutely nothing but natural digestives;
cocaine, morphine and similar drugs
have no place in a stomach medicine and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly
the best known and most popular of all
stomach remedies.
Ask your druggist for a 60-cent pack
age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
after a week's use note the Improvement
In hgalth, appetite and nervous energy.
DYSPEPSIA
George S. Scally, of 75 Nassau at.. New York,
says: "For years I have been troubled with
rheumatism and dyspepsia, and I came to tho
conclusion, to try your pills. I immediately
found great relief from their use; I feel like a
new man since I commenced taking them,
and would not now be without them. The
drowsy, sleepy feeling' I used to have has en
tirely disappeared. Tho dyspepsia has left me
and my rheumatism is gone entirely. I am
satisfied If any one so afflicted will give Rad
ways Pills a trial they will surely cure them,
for I believe It all comes from the system being
out of order the liver not doing Its work."

his story; but I gave Herplclde a trial;
now my hair Is as thick as ever, and en
