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.

Police Are Getting Evidence
Against Martin Ready,
P00LSELLING THE CHARGE
Effort Will Be Made to Bring: the
Case Into the Slate Circuit
Court and. 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

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

The American Cigar Co. gives you- as good a
cigar to-day for a nickel as you could get five
years ago for a dime. 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.
Milwaukie Country Club, to which place
car service is furnished by the Oregon
Water Power Company. The officials of
this line have always exhibited great
friendship for the racing club, and It has
been largely through their care In pro

has flourished so well.
Acting Chief of Police Grltzmachcr and
Captain of Detectives Bruin are deter
mined to make trouble for poolscllers in
Portland, and interesting developments
are looked for.

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.

and since Brady had been tendered the
money with interest for the entire period,
he did not need to vote the stock to pro

for the stock by Brady would Injure Sher

him a proxy.
Brady had testified he would put Sheri

It is held Sheridan would be Injured, ana

The case will go to the Supreme Court.
