Brown, Representative of the Portland Consolidated, 3fnldng Preparatory Investigations. F. R. Brown, of Philadelphia, repre sentative of the capitalists who control the Portland Consolidated Railway Com pany, will return from San Franotsco within a few' days, and It is understood has been making Investigations prepara tory to beginning active work in con struction of the electric railway projected to connect Portland with Puget Soui cities. Mr. Brown, it is understood, had entire charge of the prellmlnarjork that has already beon done, and inOutlin ing the financial arrangementafor the projected passenger and freight" road, to traverse districts that ar now re mote from rapid transit of yfhy character, some already maintaining a large popu lation, and all capable.' of sustaining a population as dense as 1n any agricultural and fruitgrowing section of the United States. Under the direction of Mr. Brown, In vestigations have been carried forward and compilations made upon which are based calculations as fo the possible ton nage that such a road could expect to originate. Engineers have also gone Into tho physical feotures of the route and have reported that low gradients and easy curvature can-be had for tho entire route, to a connection with suburban lines from 'Portland along the Columbia, or by a, route through Clark County, Washing ton, connecting with the ferry at Van couver, which before the end of the pres ent year will land at a new terminal on the Oregon side, located on Shaw's Isl and. - Secrecy is maintained as to details of the plans, but it is stated that negotiations have beon entered Into with business men of Seattle, Tacoma, Olympla, Portland, and of the principal points that it Is In tended to serve betweon Puget Sound and Portland, to determine what raffle noiv handled by the steam roads may be di verted to the electric line, and that within a short time ' several corps of locating engineers will bo placed In the field to complete the engineering work for the road. Immediately after announcement had beon made of the acquisition of the Port land Consolidated Railway by the Clark and Soligman Interests, It was officially stated that the new owners expected to make large Investments in Improvemonts and construction of suburban lines, and this projected line to Tacoma, to connect with the present Interurban system that links that city with Seattle, is under stood to be a carrying out of that policy. UNION OF OFFICES. Consolidation of Harrlman Interests Today. Today the consolidation of the traffic offices of the Harrlman Northwestern lines takes place, though there will be no material changes in the duties of the greater part of the employes of tho com panies affected thereby. Authority of R. B. Miller, general freight agent. Is ex tended over the entire grand division, em bracing the O. R. & N. and Southern Pa cific Oregon lines. Incidental to the larg er powers given in supervisory way. the work of the general freight department In Its details will be divided with W. EL Coman, first assistant general"' freight agent, whose Jurisdiction is extended over tho entire Northwestern lines of the sys tem; Paul Shoup, who comes to the Ore gon lines from the Coast division at San Jose, second assistant, and W. D. Skin ner, heretofore chief clerk in the office of Mr. Miller, who becomes third assist ant. At the same time the Jurisdiction of A. Li. Craig, general passenger agent. Is ex tended to the Southern Pacific, thus com bining the supervision of that department of the entire grand division, and he will have as his assistant general passcngor agent William McMurray, of San Fran cisco, with whom will be divided tho du ties of directing the affairs of the pas senger department. In enlarging, the Jurisdiction of this department Its divis ions will likewise be expanded, and In the advertising department, publicity pertain ing to the Southern Pacific will be brought under direction of R. M. Hall, advertising agent. There Is one most unusual featuro of the consolidation of the traffic offices, In that no employes will be displaced In tho changes. There have been no surplus clerks In any of the offices, and under the new or der of things each employe will be re quired to perform tho duties that he has heretofore had, although for greater con venlence trierc will be considerable shift ing. W. H. Jenkins transfers to Mr. Craig's office, while Mr. Miller will take, as his private office room 26, Worcester building, heretofore the office of W. E Coman, while Mr. Coman and his asso ciate assistant general freight agents will occupy the office qn the Oak-Btreet side of the building, adjoining the public gen eral offico of the department.. It Is alike gratifying to tho heads of tho depart ments and the employes that all are re tained In practically the same positions they have beforo held. A. L. Craig returns today from a trip to Crater Lake, accompanied by William E. CurtlB, the famous correspondent of the Record-Herald, who has been the guest of Mr. Craig for the outing to be hold one of the greatest natural wonders of the continent.

Grandma Mott'i Advice to Travelers. "You should not travel about the coun try this warm weather without a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.' says Mrs. Kate Mott, of Fairfield. la., or "Grandma Mott" as she Is familiarly known.

LEADS BATTLE Says the 3fethod Hns Proved Unsat isfactory at Other Expositions, " and Prefers Direct Inspec tion of Exhibits. Dissatisfied with the method with which It is proposed to, award the prizes and medals for the exhibits .at the Lewi and Clark JEsroosltlon. ' the members of the Executive Commissioners Association! have come to an agremeent among them selves . not to submit entries unless af ferent arrangements are made- The Man ufacturers Club, of the Exposition, passed a resolution at a recent meeting protesting against the manner In tfhlch the prizes were to be awarded. TW California Com mission has sent a wrltten'tommunlcatlon to the Department 'oi-Exhibits protesting against the proposed plan. It is signed by Gonrnnr Pan-dec and' Commissioners J. A. Fllcher and Fran Wiggins. The pro test Is against the ruling that all entries shall be accomprnled by three samples of the articles tprfbe passed upon ny mo Jurors of awpras. Stores 3Iay Not Enter. Practically all of the state and foreign nationjf participating in the Lewis and ClarkyjBxPOsI-In are represented In the Exwitlve Commissioners' Association. Unless an understanding Is arrived at be tween the -various commlslons and the Exposition, the exhibits of the states and foreign countries will not be entered for medals. That the movement and dissat isfaction is not confined to the commis sions alone Is shown by the fact that the Manufacturers' Club has passed resolu tions protesting against the plan of mak ing awards which has been adopted by the Exposition. The rules governing the awarding of the prizes and medals provides that all entries must be accompanied by three samples. This rule applies to all food stuffs, condiments, canned goods, bottled goods, etc Theso samples will be placed In a room in the Administration building. whore they will be passed upon by the Jurors of awards. The mining and ma chinery displays and all exhibits of this nature will be visited by tho Jurors. One of the samples of the articles entered will be turned over to the chemist, the second sample will be examined by the Jurors. and tho third will be kepf In reserve In case the exhibitor Is not satisfied and ap peals to the Superior Jury of Awards. Say System Is Unsatisfactory. It Is upon the furnishing of the samples that tho whole difficulty between tho state commissions and the Exposition hinges. The commissioners and the ex hibitors ask that the Jurors visit the ex hibits Instead of assembling them In one room in tho Administration building. They say that the system of furnishing samples was tried in Omaha and Buffalo, where it was fqund to be utterly unsatisfactory At St. Louis, the Jurors visited the build ings where the exhibits were Installed. The commissioners say that the rnrnlsh- ln of the samples .will not only b ex tremely Inconvenient for them, resulting in unnecessary work and expense, but that it has been proved at previous expo sitions that this plan of making awards Is cntiroly at fault. They say with so many exhibits to pass upon, massed to gether In one or several rooms, that tho Jurors Invariably become confused and overlook many exhibits of merit. They say the samples are lost and disappear. and that, always when this system was tried that more or loss confusion ensued. They are almost unanimously of the opin ion that the Inspection of the exhibits, wherever they may be Installed, Is the only way in which tho prizes can be sat isfactorily awarded. California Takes First Step. The California State Commission took the first steps In the matter. A few days ago the written protest was sent to the Division of Exhibits. The California Com mission has forwarded 107 entries of ex hibits to the Division of Exhibits, but they have all been returned because they were not accompanied by samples. The Califor nia Commissioners say If they acquiesced to the proposed plan they would have to furnish 1500 samples, as they have about 500 exhibits to be passed upon. They say that some of the exhibits have to be kept in an even temperature, and that they would suffer If placed In other quarters where they could not be so carefully kept. Last week the State Commissioners de cided to stand by the California Commis sion. Wednesday afternoon, at a meet ing held In the Oregon building, the Ex ecutive Commissioners again took the mat ter under advisement. They agreed to stand pat to the last, and will instruct the exhibitors of their state buildings not to furnish any samples to the Division of Exhibits. Tho question will be given the consideration of tho Oregon State Com mission, which meets next Saturday, and It is expected some action will be taken on the matter. The officials of the Di vision of Exhibits do not seem Inclined to yield to the requests of the Commission ers. Some of the exhibitors have fur nished the samples, which are being stored In a room In the Administration building.
