RAILROAD WILL AID COUNCIL Fighting the Injunction Suit Brought by Oregon City Taxpayers. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 2. (Special:) In fighting the injunction suit that has been brought by Interested citizens to prevent the passage of an ordinance granting to the Southern Pacific Company a perpetual franchise to Railroad avenue in this city, the Council will have the co ooeratlon of the railroad company. Mr. lielter. representing the railroad company, attend'ed the meeting of the Council -last night and advised the members of that body of the desire of the corporation to be represented by Its legal department In fighting the injunction proceedings, with the understanding that If successful In dissolving the injunction, then. In event of the passage of the ordinance granting the franchise, the railroad company will file its acceptance. The offer was accepted by the Council, which instructed City Attorney Story to co-operate with the railroad company's representatives In conducting the cltys defense. The Council also made an order directing the payment of all costs Incident to the court fees on behalf of the city's defense. Previous to this action, an ordinance was Introduced appropriating $12,500 from the first money received in the general road fund for the immediate completion of the South End Road. "Without a single exception the members of the Council ap pear to favor this Improvement which has been so generally petitioned for by the people of Oregon City. This action will probably permanently dispose of this bone of contention which has been a disturbing factor in municipal affairs In this county for years. A communication from the members of the citizens' committee requesting a con ference between the City Engineer and an engineer representing the railroad com pany for the purpose of determining the best possible plans for the proposed Im provement, was promptly tabled on motion of Straight ASK REPEAL OF EDDY LAW. Movement on Foot Amongst Mining Men of Eastern Oregon. BAKER CITY, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) There is a movement among the mining men of this section of the state to bring about the repeal of the Eddy corporation law. A petition Is being circulated asking the Legislature to repeal the law. If It Is not possible to secure the repeal of the law then It Is hoped the Legislature will so amend the present law as to reduce the fees charged mining corporations. The mining men also object to the annual tax to the state, which ranges from 5125 to $200. It is pointed out that often a mining company Is obliged to incorporate for a large sum and await the sale of stock be fore the work of development can be pushed. Mining men say that It not In frequently happens that a mine is in corporated and several years elapse before it becomes a producing mine, yet under the present law the corporation is obliged to pay an annual tax to the state which ln some Instances becomes a heavy bur den, especially to the poor prospector. The petitioners argue that an exception should be made In favor of mining cor porations for the reason that it Is neces sary to Incorporate undeveloped claims in order to raise money to exploit them. A strong lobby will doubtless be sent from all the mining districts to work for the repeal or amending of the present law. EAGLE POINT SURVEY. Surveyor McCall Leaves Ashland In Charge of Party. MED FORD. Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) Sur veyor J. A McCall, of Ashland, and party left here this morning for Butte Creek Falls to make the final survey of the pro posed railroad from the Butte Falls Mill ing Company's plant to Eagle Point, a distance of 15 miles. Preliminary survey has already been made between these two points and a permanent survey will be made In order to get everything ready for grading, which will begin when the sur vey is completed. Construction work will commence about April 1 next. There are two feasible routes from Eagle Point to the Southern Pacific Railroad, but so far as known the choice has not yet been made. The route from Eagle Point to Medford Is probably three or four miles longer than to Central Point, but the fact that Medford Is the commercial center of Rogue River Valley and Jackson County will go far toward making it the terminal of this road.

Farrar. superintendent for the TJmpqua "Water, Light & Power Company, of Roseburg, committed suicide by hang ing herself to a pear tree near the family residence during the night.

Gooding Replies to Dubois. BOISE, Idaho. Nov. 3. (Special.) At Montpelier. in the heart of the Mormon country, Frank R. Gooding. Republican candidate for Governor, addressed a large meeting last evening. "When he came to the question of Mormonlsm he showed where Dubois had been very neg ligent of his duty In all the long years he had served the people, because Dubois had not taken any public or ofllclal step to maintain the honor of the homes of Idaho which now he (Dubois) seems to take so much to heart. Mr. Gooding said even when Dubois had a chance to espouse an adultery law at both Welser and Lewiston he showed that he was opposed to it or any other law that did not apply to the Mormons alone, and that this, with his other acts too numerous to mention, would bring about his everlasting Waterloo on No vember 8. The speaker further told the people that if elected 'Governor he would use all the efforts In his power to pass a law against adulters'. Mr. Gooding said that he would not be a party to passing laws which applied to any one class of people as against an other, but that all laws must apply equally. Brownell No Longer Governor. SALEM. Or., Nov. 3. (Special.) George C. Brownell is no longer Act ing Governor of Oregon. Governor Chamberlain crossed the state line from California this afternoon, and will be in Salem tomorrow morning."

Mr. Gatens transacted the business of the office and whether he did It as a representative of Governor Chamber lain or Acting Governor BrownelJ, makes little difference now. Brownell appointed no new private secretary so It may perhaps be assumed that Gatens held office for a few days under the acting Governor. At any rate he will draw his salary for all the time of the Governor's absence. Plenty of Wood for Salem. SALEM, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.)

A Jadidoss Isgolry. A well-known traveling man who visits the drug trade says he has often heard druggists Inquire of customers who asked for a cough medicine whether It was wanted for a child or for an adult, and if for a child they almost invariably recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. The reason for this Is that they know there is no danger from It and that It always cures. There is not the least danger In giving it, and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsurpassed.

GASHES IN HIS BET Seattle Man Finds Broker Ready to Take Chances HEAVY ODDS ON ROOSEVELT Scott Calhoun Gets $90 for $500-to-' $100 Wager That the Republican Candidate for President Will Be Elected. SEATTLE, "Wash., Nov. 3. (Special.) Ninety cents On the dollar was paid here today for a bet on Roosevelt. Scott Cal houn, who stood to win $100 If Roosevelt carries Washington, cashed his bet for J90 with a warrant broker. A few days ago Calhoun bet $500 against $100 with "William Sutherland, a saloonkeeper, on Roosevelt, Calhoun betting the President would carry Washington. Today Calhoun was offered the chance to sell out at a $90 profit and took the money. The warrant buyer who paid $30 for Calhoun's chance stands to lose $590 to win $10, unquestionably giving the greatest odds of the campaign. The Parker end of the Calhoun bet was taken by Sutherland, who figured the odds were attractive. He expected to sell a part of .the bet, but failed to Interest any one in the proposition. Even the Demo cratic State Committee concedes the state by a majority to Roosevelt and the war rant broker who purchased Calhoun's bet figured he was merely discounting a good piece of commercial paper. There has been practically no betting on the National election here. Roosevelt money has been posted at odds of 4 to 1 and 5 to 1 without takers. An unlimited amount of Roosevelt money was offered today by a commission house at 4 to 1. but none of It was taken. A $1000 bet was made today on the out come of the state election.

This promise was made months ago and applied to St. Paul territory. That rate has been In effect ever since the promise was made. Bailey's campaign paper Is Issued for free circulation and is designed to help the heavy bettor's chance of winning. The free distribution of city papers Is a feature- of the campaign a week old.

Victoria Combine Will Come Out of It About Even. VICTORIA. B. a, Nov. 3. The sealing season of 1904 has ended and with the return of a majority of the fleet engaged In the hunting it is found that thero have been no losses of schooners other than the ill-fated Triumph, lost with all hands In the Spring cruieing. whije all out have made good money. The fact that policy dictated the use of but a third of the fleet will, however, depreciate the profits to the sealing trust. So far as known, the schooner Umbrina, Captain Blackstad, Is topllner for the Behrlng Sea season, with 1100-odd skins. As her expenses will approximate but $4000, she will have at least $10,000 clear profit. The winnings then taper down to $500,. or thereabouti.. for the low-mark schooner. The most serious mishap recently re ported to any of the sealing vessels has sent the Zlllah May to Yakutat Harbor, she having lost much of her rigging In a heavy gale. This news Is brought by the Jessie, just In with 678 skins, she also reporting the Victoria with 753 and the Fawn with 450. The Ida Etta, Captain Jacobson, Is home with 4S7. Seals were never more plentiful, according to the reports of all the hunters, but the weather as a general thing was too rough for low ering, for fortunes would have been made. The scaling combine, into which all the vessels of the Victoria fleet were brought some few years ago, will Just about even expenses this season, which Is more than It had hoped to do. The majority of the members' craft are mere hulks now, and although the upper harbor la filled with them. It Is doubtful If many of them could safely make a 100-mllc cruise. The trust Is loklng hopefully forward to eome International Interdiction of pelagic hunt ing that will enable them to get the old tubs off their hands at fancy figures. It Is with this hope that they are being kept afloat, although one veteran, the Ada, keeled over at her moorings a night or so ago, from sheer decrepitude. Sentences Given at Kalama. KALAMA, Wash..

Copyright l 904 by Hart Schaffner & Marx Sam'l Rosenblatts Co KEPT SWEETTHREE YEARS SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT WITH JUICE OF PRUNES. Demonstration at Oregon Agricul tural College Opens Way for Use of Waste Orchard Product. COR.VALiL.IS. Or.. TCov. .1 fRnoM-il Prune Juice kept In bottles In the bacteri ological department at the Oregon Ag ricultural uouege is exactly the same now as the day It was put up. Bottles of It recently opened were found to have the same flavor, freshness and sweetness as when It was squeezed from the prunes ana put away, more than three years ago, by Professor Pernot. A low-temperature process of sterilization was used, and the experiment makes it certain that there Is a wide field for a profitable In dustry In Oregon In preserving sweet ci der. Professor Pernot, bacteriologist at the college, says: The "Willamette Valley annually producer thousands of bushels of apples which are, for one reason or another, unsaleable. This fruit Is left to decompose on the ground, and become a menace to health, an Injury to the soil, and a promoter of fungoid growths anJ Insect Dests. Hwwf -Mi- 1. . wholesome, nutritious' beverage, which should una j is way into an homes at a moderate cost, and also be a oocrce of Income to the horticulturist. As the state laws prohibit the use of any preservatives to prevent fermentation, other means may be .adopted which are equally effective In preserving cider in Its natural condition. The organisms which produce fer mentation In a liquid so rich in oaccharlne matter as cider are principally the ypasts. They are readily destroyed at a low tempera ture, which does not coagulate the fruit albumen. When the liquid la sterilized and kept from the air. It will remain In its nat ural condition Tor an Indefinite length of time. The following method of preserving fruit Juice in bottles haa proven very satis factory In an experimental way: As cider comes from the press, it is Altered through as'bejtos, or any other material which will remove all of the pomace that Is held In suspension, so that after bottling there will be no sediment. After filtering, the cider Is immediately placed in clean bottles and corks placed loosely on top, the bottles are then put In a steam chest and s'team turned on until the contents of the bottles register a temperauro of 160 degrees F. This heat is maintained for 1G minutes, the steam Is then turned off and the chest allowed to cool down without opening the door. Twenty-four hours afterward they are again steamed, and 24 hours after that the opera tion Is repeated for the last time.. While the bottles are still hot, they are' tightly corked, and after cooling In the steam cheat the corks are dipped in hot canning wax, which finishes the sealing. Fruit Juice treated in this way does not acquire a cooked t&ate, and being sterile. It remains unchanged. In order to obtain a correct reading of the temperature, a thermometer Is passed through the top of the steam chest and reaches to the center of a bottle which Is filled with the liquid being sterilized. The steam chest may consist of an Iron retort, or be constructed of wood. Prune Juice has been kept In the labora tory fcr three years la perfect condition. Cider and other fruit Juices may be preserved in the same way and be used to an advan tage in the preparation of many delicacies for the table, as well as being-used as a bev erage. If more good, wholesome fruit Juices were used to supply the demands of the system, less drugs and medicines would be- required to maintain healthfulness, especially In this mild climate. Cider appjei can generally be obtained for 10 cents per bushel. One bushel will make at least three gallons of cider. If this were sold for 20 cents per quart bottle, the cider from one bushel of apples would give a gross receipt of 12.40. and the cost of preparing 12 bottles of cider for market would not ex ceed 75 cents it most. There Is a constant demand for s-reet cider, and an extensive market for It.
