THE HORNING- OREGONIAN", FRIDAY. JANUARY 26, 1906. 11 A Square Deal for Every Cigar Smoker NO MORE NO LESS $300,000,000 Is Spent For Cigars Annually V MERCHANTS TO ACT Railway Men Predict Loss of Harriman Business. SAY IT IS SELF-INTEREST Portland Is Anxious for Xortli-Bank Line, and Hindrance by- Rival May Ijcad to Loss of the Traffic. Portland railroad men who are not di rectly interested In the fight now being carried on in the environs of the city be tween the Hill and Harriman railway forces predict that public sentiment is be coming so strong on the subject that traffic will be diverted from the Harriman roads to those owned by the Hill-Morgan capital. It Is said that business men and jobbers of Portland arc becoming tired of the continued hindrances placed in the way of the new railroad, an improvement whose value to Portland can hardly be overestimated, and they recognize in the efforts to block the construction of the road, direct blows at Portland's prosper ity. It Is not strange. It Is urged, that self-interest will dictate to Portland ship pers that they shall help those railroads which are striving to help PorUand and take away their business from those lines fighting Portland's advancement. While there Is no talk of a boycott. It Is be lieved by some along railroad row that the Harriman roads will lose considerable business by the policy of hindrance to ward the north-bank road. 3Iay Divert Freight Should this means be adopted by Port landers to emphasize their displeasure at the Harriman policy, it is said it will be by diverting the transconUnental freight. In which there is always a sharp competi tion, and never more so than now, from the O. R. & N. and Union Pacific routes to the two northern roads. "Wounding the Harriman lines in the pocketbook nerve, it Is pointed out, would be the most effect ive way to remove the opposition to the new railroad. ' Whether the situation has brought this about in any degree cannot now be ascer tained. The Harriman lines have not no ticed any falling off in business of this character, nor do the officials of the O. R. & and Southern Pacific think any thing of this kind is likely.. If their rivals have got any iof their business they have not missed it as yet. On the other hand, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific freight men say they have never handled so much freight -during and preceding Jan uary as they.are now moving, but they cannot say whether Ihls is due solely to the -general prosperity of the Northwest or to .business .taken away from the com peting roads. At beet, January Is a dull month In the freight business. What Railroad Meit Say. Other railroaders say there is no senti ment In business, and shippers will not allow their preference in the matter to influence them. It Is further pointed out that the O. R. & N. is an Oregon railroad, with head offices in Portland, having a large payroll here and purchasing supplies in the Portland markets, and should have the .support of Oregon people: Others urge it te t hi any sense an 'Oregea Instltu Ttiofc a o petty clerk In the eflcee Kfo are paying your part of this $300,000,000. Where such a stupendous amount of money is involved, isn't it worth thinking twice about whether you are getting the best value for your money? You've .bought cigars with no guarantee of their goodness, no better assurance of their. value than the recommendation of an unknowing re 'tailer in total ignorance of who makes them, how they a're made or of what they are made and with no guarantee of their real value. You have kept on paying 10 cents for cigars that under . proper manufacturing conditions should not cost you more than half as much. Is that a square deal? How much longer are you going to put up . with it? Isn't your part of the $300,000,000 a year worth more consideration by the manufacturer and by the dealer? Why don't you demand some guarantee of reliable quality? Why should you take chances? You should not allow your prejudice or your indifference to interfere with your getting the best cigars you can possibly buy for your money. You cannot afford to ignore the better quality that is yours if you ask for and demand it. . " the company can have a dollar added to his monthly sUpend unless the Eastern office approves it. That contractors now building the grado of the north-bank road are for the most part passing" Portland by in the purchase of supplies and material is said to be an additional reason why Portland men wjll not favor the Hill-Morgan roads in the hauling of freights. Portland men com plain somewhat that the new road is not buying Portland goods, but they do not stop to think that the road does not buy supplies, leaving that to the contractors they have hired to build the road, and these men are accustomed to buying In the East on a hip scale and can buy at least as cneaply as the Portland jobbers themselves, and can deliver their goods in Western Washington as cheaply or cheap er than the jobbers. Railroad men predict an uprising of Portland merchants against the policy of hindrance and delay now going on, both in regard to the construction of the bridges below the city, and the efforts of the Harriman agents to block the Port land & Seattle construction on the north bank of the Columbia. STEALS ft POUCH OF MAIL- THIEF DISCOVERED OPENING AND BURNING LETTER S. Flees' When Assistant Yardcheckcr of Union Depot Discovers Him at Work. A pouch containing United States mall which was to have been sent out on, the 11:45 o'clock train m for the "East was stolen from a truck at the .Union Depot last night- The robber was discovered by Assistant Yardcheckcr Ortchild sit ting near a fire, opening the letters and burning those which contained no valu ables. Ortchild asked the man what he was doing there, and, receiving an evasive reply, started toward him. The robber Jumped up and ran before he could be captured. It Is not know how the pouch could have been taken from the yard without being detected. Detective Vaughn, Sergeant Hogeboom and a squad of policemen were sent to the depot, but arrived too late to get any trace of the robber. More than 200 letters were opened before the man was discovered by Ort child. The value of the contents of the pouch is not known. New Firms at The Dalles.. THE DALLES. Or., Jan. 23.

Secure a Conviction. Captain of Detectives Bruin is making a desporatc effort to arrange sufficient evidence against Martin Heady and the Owl saloon people to cause their indict ment in the Circuit Court by District Attorney Manning. There is no city ordi nance covering the case, since the recent decisions, and there can be no prosecu tions except by the state authorities. This fact developed yesterday morning In tho Municipal Court, when Patrolman Hoesly, who raided the Owl saloon and arrested Ready, appeared to sign a com plaint, charging gambling, by selling pools on Oakland races. Captain Bruin is working on the case, and Intends to bring to District Attorney Manning evidence sufficient to warrant an indictment In the Circuit Court. 11 any complaint is laid at all, it will be under the common nuisance statute, un der which other convictions have 'been secured, and which knocked out the War wick Commission Company's operations. May Indict Ready. While the matter of evidence on which to indict Ready Js being worked up, po lice attention has been directed toward the Owl saloon and a private telephone line that connects It with the Milwaukie Country Club, which was raided some time ago by Portland police, led by Cap tain Bruin. The Milwaukie Country Club is a flour ishing Institution. located on the line of the Oregon Water Power Company at Milwaukie, a small town across the line In Clackamas County. At present It Is owned and operated by Isaac Gratton and J. E. Culllson. That Martin Ready, now under arrest, is financially interested to a degree. Is claimed by some. When the Milwaukie Country Club was first opened, M. G. Xease was associated with Gratton as part owner, but differ ences of opinion arose between the two as to how the establishment should be run, and Nease pulled out. Culllson took his place. While Nease was connected with the Milwaukie Country Club, the private tele phone wire had Its Portland end In the Warwick Commission Company's place. Fourth and Alder streets, but shortly after his connection ceased. It was trans ferred to the Owl saloon. Fifth and Alder streets, and remains there! .Agent for Milwaukee Club. Common talk among the sporting fra ternity is to the effect that Martin Ready acts as the Portland agent for the Mil waukie Country Club, and that he places wagers on various races by means ef the private telephone In the Owl saloon. He is said to work, his bankbook of pools from that place, and it was In there that Patrolman Hoesly arrested him Monday afternoon. -H Is said that Martin Ready has seen doing1 a pretty goed. business leoally.

Whatever price you pay, you. can get honest smoking values, if y 02c go tJie right way about it. Here's HOW Guided by the combined knowledge of the; greatest cigar manufacturers in Cuba and the United States, the American Cigar Company set about to perfect new and better prpcesses in cigar manufacture and to provide an equipment that would bring about the much-needed improve ment in cigar quality without increase in cost. Thus, with the knowledge of what to do, and with the capital, equipment and disposition to do it, the American Cigar Company is to-day man ufacturing cigars that are in every way better than any other cigars offered to the public. Here's WHY The American Cigar Company was organized to manufacture cigars that would win the patron age of smokecs solely through their merits. The supremacy of the American Cigar Com pany to-day is wholly due to its recognition of the "Square Deal" principle. v That you may have a reliable guarantee a sure sign by which you may identify the product of these latter-day methods wherever you buy, whenever you smoke the American Cigar Com pany has placed this "A" (Triangle A) mark of merit on the boxes of the best cigars of various' brand names.

The "Triangle Merit Mark 1C if DO BUSINESS Judge Frazer Decides for Port land & Seattle. ALL ITS ACTIONS VALID Appointment of Flanders as Attor ney Held to Be Non-Corporate Action All Objections of O. K. & X. Overruled. The Portland & Seattle Railway Com pany has a legal right to do business in Oregon and build lines in this state. All acts performed by the company In the past are valid. Judge Frazer so held yes terday In disposing of the litigation on this subject between the Harriman and Hill forces. The decision, coming at the close of an. argument lasting nearly three days, was a surprise, because the court usually takes time to consider a question where the arguments have been so protracted, and so many authorities submitted as in this case. Judse Frazer, however, said that he was convinced, and would announce his decis ion at once. His decision, briefly stated, was that the meeting of the board of directors of the Portland & Seattle Com pany on October 10, 1S05. when J. Couch FUfnders was appointed attorney-in-fact for Oregon, did not constitute a corporate act and could legally be done outside of the State of Washington. In which the Portland &. Seattle Company was, Incor porated. This meeting could not be con sidered as doing corporate business In this state at that time, because It was before the company had the right to enter Into business In this state. In reviewing the case Judge Frazer said: The principal point is the nature of the appointment of tha attorney in fact. Was it s corporate or non-corporate act? A cor porate act relates either to the organiza tion ol the corporation or Its maintenance as distinct from the ordinary course of busi ness. Any act which relates simply- to Us contact with the outside world Is a corporate act. Tho court held that the drawing of declarations of Intention to do business in this state and the appointment of an attorney were not corporate acts, and It .was legal to do them In Portland. Judge Frazer declared that he- did not attach any importance to the fact that President C. M. Levey was not the cus todian of the seal, as the document on which the seal was placed was regularly adopted by the company. An early trial has been agreed upon to settle the controversy about the crossing at Macgly Junction. In his argument yesterday Mr. Cotton brought out tho point that the whole dispute over the Maegly Junction had arisen over the question of the crossing of the two roads near the SL Johns drydock. Mr. Levey had asked Mf. O'Brien to raise the O. R. & N road at that point seven feet, aad when O'Brien objected, the Portland 3c Seattle people, Mr. Cotton said, began action to get this crossing at Maegly Junction to force a settlement on the other crossing. .

BRADY LOSES NEWS CASE Jndge Stcwnrt Decides He Must'Give Sheridan a Proxy. BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 23. (Special.) Dis trict Judge Stewart today decided the Capital News case against J. H. Brady. This case grew out of a loan made to the Capital News by Brady, a year ago, of SS00O. He took 200 shares of stock belonging to R. H. Sheridan. C. H. Fisher and W. K. d'Arcy, together with an issue of $30, C0O of bonds, as security. The stock was Issued to one George P. Townsend. for Brady, and the note was made payable In three years. Trouble arose between Sheridan and his partners, and various attempts were made to get th'is stock from Brady, and the en tire sum of $3000, with the stock for the three years, was tendered him and re fused. Great Interest was aroused In the troubles of the paper because Brady Is chairman, of the Republican State Com mittee and also because the two factions of the Democratic party were striving to get control of the publication. The case decided today was a suTt to re strain Brady from attempting to vote the stock belonging to the latter. Fraud has been charged, and a great deal of evidence was introduced to sustain that charge. Brady disclaimed all Intent to defraud and alleged he had lent the money for the purpose of getting control of the paper for three years. In deciding the case, Judge Stewart finds Brady was pot a party to any fraud, but does not indicate whether Fisher and d'Aarcy were guilty of such practices In connection with the matter. Brady, it Is held, could not be compelled to accept his money before the end of three years, but It Is further held the stock was taken as collateral for the loan.

Ga 4, $ Stands for Hon est Cigar Values and since Brady had been tendered the money with interest for the entire period, he did not need to vote the stock to pro tct his interests: therefore. If the voting for the stock by Brady would Injure Sher idan, the latter was entitled to an injunc tion 'and an order requiring Brady to give him a proxy. Brady had testified he would put Sheri dan out If he voted the stock. Therefore It is held Sheridan would be Injured, ana the Injunction is granted and the order is sued requiring Brady to furnish the proxy. The case will go to the Supreme Court.
