14 THj3 MORNING OREGOXULK, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1905. DEAL IS CONFIRMED St. Paul and Northern Pacific in Close Relationship. OFFICERS TRADE PLACES Understanding by Which Both Sys tems Arc to Use orth-Bank Double - Track Line More Evident. Confirmation is had In the official change In the engineering departments of the Northern Pacific and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroads, or the close relationship existing between the two companies and the alliance entered into by which both systems are to use the north-bank line down the Columbia River to enter Portland.. Railroad offi cials who wre at first reluctant to ac cept the statement made upon good au thority that the north-bank line Is to be double-tracked for this purpose see in the announced exchange of chief engi neers the revelation of an understanding between the two companies reaching out for Pacific Coapt business more com plete and confidential than before deemed possible. "V. I Darling, formerly chief engineer of the Northern Pacific, who left the service of that company to go go the Rock Island and in turn resigned with that system to become head of (he newly-Incorporated Pacific Railway Company as chief engineer, has been again ap pointed chief engineer of the Northern Pacific, E. J. Pearson, heretofore chief engineer of the Northern Pacific, has re signed from that place to become chief engineer of the new Pacific Coast auxil iary of the St. Paul, alia" thus it trans pires that tho two engineers are at the head of the supposed rivals in construc tion of new lines down to the Pacific tidewater at Portland. It is believed that there will no longer be any effort to conceal the relations that have recently been formed between the Hill roads and the St. Paul. The evi dence is too material to be ignored. "Were it not through an arrangement for mu tual benefit because of the peculiar fitness of each of the men to direct the large operations of construction of the respec tive lines to the ultimate good of both systems, the exchange of engineering talent would not have taken place-,. It Is. withal, a rare compliment to the ahlllty and standing of both men that the execu tive officers of two great systems feel huch Implicit confidence In their ability. Pursuant to the new appointment it is expected that Chief Engineer Darling will at an early date make an inspection trip over the entire system and confer with Chief Knglneer Miller in direct charge of the work on tho new line down the Columbia Rlvor. In company with the new St. Paul engineer. E. J. Pearson, to decide, upon the ground, various fea tures of the new route, over which will be hauled Immense tonnage for both systems. MOTHER OF BABE ARRESTED Voting Woman Who Abandoned In fant In Larry McLean's Home. Deserted by Park Hazclgrove. who left Portland for Seattle. Miss Pearl Barring ton, an 18-year-old girl, became desperate after giving birth to a child at Good Samaritan Hospital, and not having friends or money, she abandoned It. It was left at the apartment house at C3I Washington street Saturday night. Miss Harrington was arrested at 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon by Acting Detective Heliyer in a rooming house at Third and "Yamhill streets and a charge of abandon ing the Infant was placed against her at police headauartcrs. Miss Barrlngton left the hospital" Sat urday afternoon with the baby wrapped only with a small blanket. She requested tho hospital attendants to care for the baby while she went down town. But suspecting that she wished to abandon it. the request was refused. Without money to care for it Miss Barrlngton con sulted a friend who advised leaving it with some one who would care for it. The young woman wandered into the apartment house at G31 Washington street and, seeing no one in the place, left the infant on a couch. It lay there for two hours before being discovered by Larry McLean, the ball player. The Infant was turned over to the nurses at the hospital, where It Is being cared for.

The tem porary running expenses -will be met by the Y. W. C. A., but to complete the work mapped out at the beginning of the season an additional $250 will be necessary. Many individuals, fraternal organizations apd benevolent associa tions have contributed to the travelers' aid work, about 500 having been con tributed from such sources.
