Here is a list of part of them : OUR NATIONAL BIRDS The American Eagle and Thanksgiving Turkey LAST TO -CROSS MISSOURI Burlington's Sale to Hill Forced Competitor to Come WestTrains to Be Running to Coast Within Three Years. CHICAGO, Nov. 29. (Special.) The--dc- I termination of the St- Paul road to build to the Pacific Coast emphasizes the fact that there is now In progress In the "West the greatest railroad struggle In history. The .struggle is not necessarily a bitter nar among contending Interest;) which are the most powerful in the country, but the slightest change In conditions may make li such. The contention, Is among the great rail way Interests of the country, backed by Uarious factions of Wall street, for the lion's share of the enormous tonnage I which will eventually be developed in tho couutry west of the Missouri River. As a I manor of fact, the St- Paul is about the lpct road to take steps to prevent being botled up east of the Missouri River and the move it has made has been ad mitted to be Inevitable for the past three 3 ears. Plenty of Traffic for AIL At nresent the St. Paul's move has an- jparcntly aroused the opposition of none. isvrn James J. Hill -has stated publicly that tV St. Paul will be welcomed on the Western coast. But Mr. Hill never IJooKcd with favor upon any encroachment on 1.1s territory, and the general impres sion Ls that ho will not scatter roses In j the pathway of the St. Paul's new trans continental extension. St. Paul officials, nowever, insist that their project need not disturb the Dresent railroad situation I nor the present amity which seems to xsst among most interests. They assert tnai wiuun tne tnrce years that It will take them to comolete their linn from Evarts to Seattle sufficient traffic will nave been devoloped to make it unnec essary for them to try to secure any of the traffic now enjoyed by existing lines. Mr. Hill may be said to be rilrortlv r. Isponaible for the SL Paul's determination to go to the Coast. His purchase of the I Burlington road nractieallv mnd that line a transcontinental one over two routes, by the way of St. Paul and by the way of Eilllnes. The Hill tiirhn also changed the basis of Interchange of italic ai me iwin cities, and the SL Paul, together with other roads, suf fered a big loss of Great Northern and Northern Pacific traffic To the south of St. Paul the Missouri Pacific is going io me ioast tnrough the construction of the "Western Pacific: the I with its preferential contract with the Harriman lines has an outlet tn tho rnn I practically over its own- lines; the Rock Island is already at Denver, the Burling ton Is also at Denver and the St. Paul !as practically the only line that re gained bottled up east of the Missouri River Crossed Missouri- In July.

The freneral opinion prevails here that there .will"" be a lively conflict between tho St. Paul people and the Hill and Harriman lines, to control the water grade .route to the Coast through this section. It is expected the St. Paul peo ple will endeavor to secure a route down the south bank of the Snake for its line after leaving here, though the Northern Pacific has surveyed the route several times. It has just been learned that J. B. Pope, who recently investigated the Salmon River route, and who Is now looking into the Snake River route from Welser and Huntington, is an engineer from San Francisco and In the employ of the Southern Pacllic. The Northern Pacific right of way agents Smith of St, Paul and Thompson of Tacoma are here closing up the pur chases of new terminal grounds for the Joint use of the O. R. & N. and the Northern' Pacific. The site is a mile in length, 300 feet wide and extends from lh Harrington -Mill property to the Del Sol place in the eastern section of the city The new terminal will provide for double tracking from the O. R. & N. bridge for a distance of Over a mile. This is necessary, in view of the fact that warehouses are scattered along the Northern Pacific track for over half a mlla and it will be impossible to handle the increase of traffic of the new lines over a single track.

Russians who ar rived here last week on the steamer Mon golia, representing a colopy near Los An geles, have had numerous conferences with Governor Carter and Land Commis sioner J.

The scheme is pa"rt of a vigorous move ment here to secure white laborers, eli gible to citizenship, instead of Asiatics. Commissioner Castle has offered to pay the fares of the entire colony here. The Russian representatives visited Kauai and expressed satisfaction with all the conditions except the method of ac quiring land.

Hill took occasion before he left for the West yesterday to deny with more emphasis that his recent trip to Europe was for the purpose of getting funds to buy the Mis souri, Kansas & Texas Railway as a Gulf outlet to the Burlington Railroad. Mr. Hill said that a trip to the moon was no more improbable. Mr. Hill said that the report that Presi dent Eliot, of the Northern Pacific, ls to resign to become president of the Chi cago Terminal Railroad, and Is to be sue ceeded by. Mr. Hill's son. J. N.

DOUBLE TRACK I NORTH BANK (Continued Prom Pace 1.) mills at Tacoma and Seattle and way points In exchange for the transconti nental freight from the East destined for the Orient It wants to take back to the East those things that are grown and manufactured in the West, and to bring- to the task cars loaded with car port goods. This fact I responsible for the lack of Interest in the purchase of extensive terminal properties here. This Is the reason the trackage agree ment was so quietly and so easily made, so the story goes. If any supposition entered Into the scheme It could be taken for granted that President Earling: called upon President Hill and diBcussed the ques tion of an entrance into Portland; At that time President Earling perhaps told Mr. Hill that the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul was headed for the West and that It was the Intention to come to Portland. It was perhaps pointed out that the company was not after local business but wanted the through traffic both In freight and pas, sengero and that it would perhaps be better for both roads to enter into an agreement than to fight. It was per haps hinted that If a trackage agree ment was made by which the Northern Pacific line could be used from Wal lula down the river no effort would be made to share In the local business of the Northwest, but on the other hand if no such concession was granted then the 8L Paul lino would come in on Its own track, forcing trackage rights along the north bank according to tho provisions of tho Federal law and also that of the State of Washington. It Is known that these results have followed whether there was such a meeting or not between the two presidents. Wallula Pacific's Plans. The Wallula Paclfio, recently Incor ated. seemed for a time to hold the key to the situation, but from recent stories it Is playinp a lone hand In the game of chance. L. Gerlinger, the pres ident of the road, states that ho does not know who is behind the road; that he has been given the power of attor ney by a New York capitalist, behind whom stands some unknown power, and that he has been instructed to buy right of way and lay plans for a line from Wallula to Portland. In pur suance of this plan, Mr. Gerlinger has been surveying a route along the North Bank and has finished that part of the job. He Is now buying: right of way, and already has paid the cash for quite a strip of land. In those places whero It Ispossible by the na ture of the ground, he has paralleled the line of the Northern . Pacific, but where the mountains encroach upon the water he has brought his grade stakes up to and coincident with those oX- the Northern road, evidently ex pecting: to force trackage when the Price for. thu sale Price for thu sale Thanksgiving VttVVV SEE FRIDAY SPECIALS ADVERTISED IN THIS construction begins. It is further stat ed that the road will cross the Co lumbia River within some miles of Vancouver, and so lead Into Portland. According to the story that Is now told of the Wallula Pacific. It was at first incorporated by Harriman Influ ences to block the efforts of the North ern Pacific lo come down the river. Later developments have convinced the Harriman people that the Hill forces have the upper hand, and they have, therefore, withdrawn their support from the infant road leaving it high and dry In the cold air of the inland country. It is known that the O. R- & 5f. has refused aid to the "Wallula Pa cific at one time declining to lend or provide an engine and a few flatcars for preliminary work. This state of affairs would indicate that it Is not Harriman money that is buying "Wallu la Pacific right of way. On the other hand it was surmised that the Chicago, Milwaukee & SU Paul was baok of the "Wallula Pacific and that Mr. Gerlinger was working for the management of that road in his efforts to find a way down the north bank of the Columbia. This story is put In the shade, however, by the state ment, practlcaly authentic, that the Northern Pacific will build' a double track down the river for the Joint use of the two companies. Not Harriman Project. If the first story was correct and Har riman. has withdrawn his support from the Wallula Pacific and the Chicago, Milwaukee &. St. Paul does not have any interest in the line, then it would appear that Mr. Gerllnger's road Is up In the air in a practically permanent position. If the road Is independent, it might be possible that the St. Paul line would still take over its right of way In order to have a handle by which to hold Mr. Hill and the Northern Pa cific the more securely In line on the trackage agreement. Now that Mr. Hill and Earling have entered into a compact, when two years have passed It will not be Northern Pacific trains alone that will enter Portland over the double tracks of the North Bank road, but Chicago. Milwau kee & St. Paul cars-and equipment as well. This will mean even larger term inal grounds for the Northern Pacific than those at first planned, and will bring added commerce Into the Port of Portland and ensure a vast Increase In the transcontinental freight business handled along the water front.

Appeal Is Allowed After Hot Argument. DENVER. Nov. 29. The Supreme Court today held United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson to be in contempt of court for printing certain cartoons and edito rials lo his two newspapers, and fined him $10. directing that he be committed to jail until the fine should be paid. Sub sequently, the court ordered a stay of ex ecution for 60 days, pending an appeal by Mr. Patterson to the Supreme Court of the United States. . Shortly before noon the court announced that the Patterson case would be called, and directed that an attachment be Issued for the Senator when he failed to appear. Later the Senator came into the court In company with the court bailiff. He pro tested against the service of an attach ment, claiming that he was not attempt ing to avoJc'. making an appearance, but the court reminded him that he had agreed, to appear at a certain time. Con siderable discussion and controversy fol lowed as to Just what had been agreed to between Mr. Patterson's attorneys and the court. Mr. Patterson declared emphatically that he would go to Jail rather than pay the fine Imposed. His attorneys al3o In formed th3 court that Mr. Patterson would exercise his constitutional right as a United States Senator to claim exemp tion from arrest while Congress was In session, and thereby have set aside tho Judgment of the court in order that he might be abh to be present when Con gress convened next week. Further dis cussion followed, and the Senator told the court that. If a stay of execution was Is sued, he would hasten an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, and. If that body refused to take cognizance of his case, or decided the case against him. he would pay the fine Immediately. The court agreed to that, and Issued the order accordingly. Chief Justice Gabbert announced, at the conclusion of the case, that the court would hand down a formal opinion within a few day. Justice Steel was the only member who dissented from the decision.
