TO SALEM IN
: HOUR AND HALF
Traction Company Promises
Huick Service From Port
land to Capital.
GEORGE B. MOFFATFS PLAN
In render rig- judgment said it -was not
lack or coal, "but the high price of
coal which induced the closing of too
works and found that this tvaa not a
jrood reason.
His Purpose Is 3ot to Bun Big; In
terurban Cars Through Portland'
Streets, But to Transfer to
Portland Railway.
From Portland to Salem in An "hour and
a half, with correspondingly quick serv
ice for intermediate points, is tho plan of
George-B. -Moffatt, the New York capi
talist -who is 'behind -the "Willamette "Val
ley Traction Company, and who Is spend
ing two weeks, -in Portland. He believes
this, schedule-can be made bythebig In
tcrurban cars to be operated by the "Wil
lamette Valley Tractlofe. Company, and Is
anxious that the franchise asked by his
company of tho city to run cars on Front
street should be granted so that construc
tion can begin at once..
It is iiot Mr. iloftatt's purpose, however,
to operato Jiis interurban cars through
the city., as he believes It Is not to the
best Interests of the citizens to have the
streets congested with these cars, and he
proposes to effect some arrangement with
the Portland Railway Company, so that
passengers Irom the line into the Valley
south of the city can be transferred to the
cars of the local company at the edge of
town and taken wherever they want to
go without -delay. The line on Front
street, believes. Mr. JMoffatt, need .be used
only for freight cars, and this traffic
should be carried on at night only. Xot
only would his road serve the purposes
of the Willamette Valley Traction Com
pany, according to Mr. "Moffatt, but freight
would be hauled for any other road wish
ing it done.
Thinks It Will Help Portland.
"We took It for granted," said Mr. MoT- ,
fatt, "that we were wanted, and that
Portland would Welcome our work of de
velopment, but I have lately heard of the
holding up of our franchise, and so came
here to look the matter up. The purpose
of the Front-street line is to operate night
freight cars across the city, from the
south end to. the north, or vice versa. We
also want the privilege of building spurs
to warehouses and factories along Front
street that may desire transportation fa
cilities. If the property-owners do not
want a line of railway in operation during
the daytime along Front street, the best
way to avoid it is to give us this franchise
under such proper restrictions as may in
sure the road being kept for tho purposes
intended.
"We do not want to be' relieved of any
proper burdens the city ought to impose,
nor do we think the city ought to Impose
burdens it wbuld not place on factories
or warehouses. It Js not for the best In
terests of Portland to have Interurban
cars running through the city, streets, and
we propose to transfer, our passengers,
under cover, to the street-cars operated
by the Portland Railway Company. We
expect to be able to make such an ar
rangement with the local company.
Good Opportunity Here.
"We came to Portland because it was
represented to us by Barstow & Cham
bers, consulting engineers, that there was
a. splendid opportunity to build a road
lrom Portland to Salem. The money has
been ralBed and all arrangements made.
Grade has been built from Salem nearly
to Chemawa, but now work has been
stopped because of the nonlssuance of the
franchise. The plan is to construct the
best possible roadbed, with 70-pound rails,
and. to ballast the whole distance before
cars are operated over it Freight as well
as passenger traffic will be looked after
by the road, and the construction will be
such that any freight car built can be
run over the line. Wo expect to run ex
press cars through from Portland to the
capital city In an hour and a half, while
cars making local stops will not exceed
two hours In making the trip.
"I have visited the section of the Valley
to be built Into by our road, and I found
Jt a most fertile' and promising country.
Level country for the most part of the
route lends itself to easy and first-class
construction. While this lino is the only
one so far planned by the company, feed
ers will be built from the main line, and
there, is a likelihood of other roads being
constructed later, as the country develops,
and there is a field for other lines. Our
plan Is to make the service so good be
tween Portland and Salem that we shall
carry the mall between the two points.
As for the local traffic along the way,
that will be cared for in a capable man
ner by-tho Willamette Valley Traction."
Mr. Moffatt has been in Portand before,
and he Is Impressed with the possibilities
of development here. .He is already heav
ily interested in the Washington Water
Power Company at Spokane. Arrance
V?cnts have been made, to get power for
the new Hno- from the Portland General
Electric Company.

America and Italy Will Prevent Spilt

AIX3BCIRA9. Feb. 14. Yesterdays op
timism regarding the ourbome of the Mo
roccan conference, appears to ' have been
as greatly exaggerated as was Monday's
pessimism. It must- be understood that
one conversation will not suffice to settle
the Franco-German difficulties; buMt l
a fact that negotiations are progressing
with the same good prospects of success
which always have existed. The Associ
ated Press has the best .authority for de
nying the statement emanating from Ber
lin that M. Revolt, the principal French
delegate, proposed that France, Spain and
on eother power shall control the Moroc
can police. On the same authority It can
be said that no importance should attach
to the alternations of optimism and pes
simism -in' the French press.
The. efforts of .disinterested powers, par
ticularly the United States and Italy, have
become very active in tho last three days
toward securing a satisfactory arrange

LONDON, Feb. 14. Interesting corre

Joseph Chamberlain, dated today and pub
lished on the eve of the Unionist party
meeting at Lansdownc House, disposes
was defeated ea the final vote, and the
opponents to the measure thought that
would end the fight.
It may be said that the present charter
makes no direct provisions whatever for
Issuing licenses of any sort, although It
does provide how saloons may be regu
lated. However, the City Attorney de
cided, after investigation, that-tho author
ity to issue liquor or any license was con
ferred on the city by the general grant
of police powers by the Legislature. It
remains now to be seen whether there
will be an Injunction to prevent the com
pany from opening Its bar, and what will
be done with the several other applica
tions for licenses known to be ready.

Major Duvall a Brigadier.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. President
Roosevelt has decided to promote Major
William P. Duvall, of the Artillery Corps;
now principal assistant to the Chief of
Artillery, to fill the vacancy in the grade
or iingaaier-uenerai. Major Duvall is a
native of Maryland and graduated from
West Poln.t. In -lBBrV. He served In Cuba
effectively of the report that serious diffi
culties exist between the factions of that
party. Mr. Balfour's letter is as follows:
My Dear Mr. Chamberlain: The con
troversy aroused over the fiscal question
has produced not unnaturally the impres
sion that the practical difference of fiscal
reformers are much deeper than in fact
is the case. The exchange of views which
has constantly taken place between them
leads me to hope that this misconception
may be removed and end the friction
which has proced so injurious to the
party. My own opinion, which. I believe,
is shared by the great majority of the
Unionist party, may be briefly summar
ized as follows:
Fiscal reform Is and must remain ttie
first constructive work of the Unionist
party. The objects of such reform arc to
secure more equal terms of competition
for British trade and closer commercial
union with the colonics.
While at present it Is not necessary to
prescribe the exact method whereby these
ends may be attained. It is Inexpedient
to permit differences of opinion regarding
these methods to divide the party.
Though other means be possible, the es
tablishment of a moderate general tariff
on manufactured goods, not Imposed for
the purpose of raising prices or giving
artificial protection against legitimate
competition, and the imposition of a small
duty on foreign corn (meaning wheat) are
ont In principle objectionable, and they
should be adopted If it can be shown that
they are necessary for the attainment of
the ends in view or for the purpose of
revenue.
To this Mr. Chamberlain replied as fol
lows: My Dear Mr. Balfour: I cordially wel
come your letter of today. In which you
have summarized the conclusion . wc
reached during our recent discussions. I
entirely agree with your description of
the objects we both have In view and
gladly accept the policy you indicate as
wise and desirable for the Unionist party
to adopt. In endeavoring to give effect to
this policy and in defending all the Un
ionist prlnicples, any services I can render
will be entirely at your disposal.

St. Johns Temperance People Are

yesterday. "No general liquor license or

The temperance people, who thought the
defeat of the general liquor license ordi

tho saloon question in St, Johns unlit the
municipal election, were greatly amazed,
yesterday morning, to leam that the

The Admiral made no specifications re

at length upon the destructive effect of
the heavy Japanese shells, which, when
they only exploded In the water near the
Russian vessels, cracked their plates and
opened great leaks, while those which hit
the Russian ships squarely were as de

CONCESSIONS BY FRANCE.
Yields Point to Insurance Companies
as-Act of Friendship.
PARIS. Feb. 14. The French govern
ment has made, a great concession to
American insurance companies by
waiving one requirement of tho new In
surance law In which it has discretion.
The law requires foreign Insurance
companies to deposit French securities
as a guarantee for the payment of pol
icies. The American companies are
willing to comply so far as. regards
future business, but object to buying
J20.Ob0.OP0 worth of securities to cover
old business. The government waived
the latter deposit on condition that the
companies announce that old policies
are protected by American securities.
Charge d'Affalrcs Vlgnaud advised
the department that it was the belief
In diplomatic quarters that France's
friendly course would be recognized by
suitable acknowledgments of tho
j American government and sympa-
xnetic consideration tor French inter
ests in' other pending questions.
However France's action was en
tirely spontaneous, without th Rllctit.

other questions.

NEW YORK. Feb. 14. Recommenda
tions that legal proceedings be instituted
to recover contribut'ons made by the
New Tork Life Insurance Company were
submitted to the trustees cf that com
pany today by the special investigating
committee, headed by Thomas Pv Fowler.
It Is recommended that tho money be re
covered from such officials and trustees
as counsel shall decide are liable there
for. Tho report states that there is no rec
ord upon the books of the company to
show that campaign contributions were
given, but that Information was obtained
from tho testimony of President McCall
and Vice-President George W. Perkins
upon tho. stand before the Armstrong
committee. This recommendation is then
made:
Will Bring Hamilton to Book.
"Tour committee therefore recommends
that special counsel be retained forthwith
to institute such legal procedlngs as may
bo necessary to recover the sums so con
tributed, from such officers and trustees
of the company as In the Judgment of
the counsel are liable therefor."
The campaign contributions referred to
were made for Republican campaign pur
poses and aggregated J145.702. divided as
follows: J30.C0 in 1KW. 30.0CO in 1S0O and
J4S.T02 In 1901. No other campaign contri
butions, the committee declared, had been
disclosed by the Investigation. The re
port continues:
Well Meant, but Illegal.
Whether any of the ums charged to the
poller f account on the books of the Paris
otjee were usd for such purposes cannot
be known until It Is ascertained, through legal
proceedings or otherwise, what dlspoeltlon
was made of them. These contributions were
directed by President McCall in the belief
that they were necessary la the Interest and
for tho protection of the policy-holders, not
for any personal benefit or advantage.
The committee Is advised that the funds of
the company could not he legally used for
the purposo to which these funds were applied
or for any political purpose at any time or
under any circumstances. The use of the
fur.dji In aid of any. political party, however
ntceszary to the maintenance of value of lt
policies it may be deemed to he. Is foreign
to the trust with which such funds are Im
pressed.

and that efforts were made today to get

This committee contains among Its mem
bcra several Governors of states and other
important men of affairs, especially
Western men. Mr. Fish, the Evening

main spring is broken, but at the very
minute adjustment Is discovered necessary.
The time to adjust the Bowels is not
merely when your Head Aches, when your
Liver is Sick, your Stomach In Revolt, and
Nature's Food Process retarded for 24
hours or longer.
The proper time to adjust them Is the
very minute you suspect they need adjust
aslant.
If your tongue is slightly coated..
If your breath is under suspicion,
If your Head feels a trifle heavy oi
dull,
If digestion seems even a little slow,
If Heartburn, Belching, Colic or
Restlessness begin to show themselves,
That's the time to eat a Cascaret.
Don't imagine the Cascaret is ineffec
tive because it is pleasant to eat as Candy.
It acts as pleasantly as it tastes. It if
as congenial to your Bowels as it is to your
Palate.
It is not a "Bile-driver" which flcodj
out your stomach today with fluid juices
needed for tomorrow.
But, it actrlike Exercise. Instead.
It stimulates the muscular lining of Ihr
Bowels and intestines.so that they mechan
ically -digest food and drive out the
waste.
The time to use a Cascaret is when yor
first suspect you need one.
The only way to have them ready tr
use precisely when you need them is tc
carry them constantly in your pocket, as
you do a Watch or a Lead pencil.
The ten cent box of Cascarets is made
thin, flat, round-edged, and small, for this
precise purpose.
Be very careful to get the genuine,
made only by the Sterling Remedy Com
pany and never sold In bulk. Every
tablet stamped "CCC."
