' " . w TRAVELERS GUIDE. W jjx- MB 14 THE MORNING OREGONIA2T, FRED AT, MARCH 23, 1906. GIVES J BETTER FREIGHT SERVICE American-Hawaiian Line Pro poses to Run Steamers to Portland.. ONE MONTH TO NEW YORK Steamers Xebraskan and Xcvadaa to Connect AVltli tlie .New Mexican Jtailrond Salinas Cruz. at Genoral Charles F. Beebc has returned Trom New York with tho Information that by the first of next year Tortland will have tho steamer Nebraskan and Ne vada n handling freight direct for New York by way of Iho Tehuantepec railroad, jiow boing completed by the Mexican gov ornmont across the isthmus at a point where a haul of 1H miles brines it from deep water on the Pacific to deep water on the Atlantic This will give a 30-day sorvlco by water between Portland and New York. The steamers will also con nect at San Francisco with five 12,090-ton steamers operating between the Moxican port and Honolulu, via the Bay City, and arrangements may possibly be made -vontually to extend the service of the Nobniskan and Nevadan to the Hawaiian Jslamls. The new schedule will be Inaugurated by the American-Jiawalian Steamship Company, for which General Beebc is lo cal agent. A good deal of freight Is being handled by this firm at present by way of tho Portland & San Francisco liners and then on steamers of the American-Hawaiian Company through the Straits of "Magellan and up the Atlantic. The very host service under these conditions, how ever, is CO days, and for that reason the now arrangement will prove of great bene flt to shippers on both shores of the conti nent. "With tho completion of the "Mexican railroad from Salinas Cruz, on the Pa cific Coast, to Coatzacoalco?. on the At lantic. Portland will get a 30-day service to New York." said General Beebe yes terday. "The S500-ton steamers American. Hawaiian, Californian and Oregonlan will 3iandle the froight from New York to Coatzacoalcos. where It will be trans ferred to tho rail and hauled to Salinas Cruz for reshlpment on the steamers Ne braskan and Nevadan for San Francisco, Portland and Puget Sound, and on the 12,000-ton steamers Texan, Arlzonan, Alaskan. Mexican and Columbian and two new boats now being built, for San Fran cisco and the Hawaiian Islands. At San Francisco the large boats will pick up Portland freight for the islands brought south by the Nebraskan and Nevadan un til such time as it might be deemed ad visable to extend the service of the PorU land steamers to the Islands direct. "The Nebraskan was In Portland two years ago. and took a full cargo of mis cellaneous freight to New York by way of tho Straits of Magellan. She and tho Novadan are 5000-ton vessels, and are splendidly equipped for handling freight with dispatch. The Mexican railroad is being construct ed along lines that will Insure rapid and perfect transit, and preparations are being made to take care of all kinds of heavy and bulky freight, Including lumber. should the Eastern market prove inviting to Pacific Coast manufacturers. The proposed new arrangement will have the effect of greatly stimulating business between this part of the country and the Atlantic Coast, and open new markets for goods that lack of suitable transportation facilities has prevented in the past. RELIEVING CEMENT FAMINE Importers Place Heavy Orders In Europe and Japan. There is little likelihood of a cement famine this Summer, as predicted a few days ago, for during the past few days Importers have been placing heavy orders. not only in Europe, but also In Japan.

The French bark with long name registers l32 tons net. and will carry in the neighborhood of 15,000 barrels, whllo the Empercur Menelik, .of 15CT tons net register, will "brinjj about 35.000 bar rels. All told, there Is now something Uko 350.000 barrels of cement in sight for delivery at this port by the end of Octo- bor, not counting on tho shipments that will come from the California factories. The Japanese cement is said to be , close Imitation of tho European artlclo and sells considerably cheaper, the rate quoted at present averaging $2.75 a barrel. or 50 cents .cheaper than tho European product. IEEAVY . PASSENGER TRAFFIC Steamers Colombia and KUburn De part With Few Empty Berths. iMore than 100 passengers left Portland by water for San Francisco and way points last night. GO of them going on tho E..A. Kilburn and about 59 on the Colum b!a. All tickets for the Kilburn had been disposed of early yesterday afternoon, and business was turned away towards even ing. At .Astoria, the Kilburn will pick up nlno passengers that left Wednesday jugnt on mo steamer Aureua, wnicn lost Uo oJL2iecropjler.lad.ea-ia,lhe Lower. Columbia by coining in contact -with a partly submerged log. A large number of those trho went on the KUburn are colng Into the Coos Bay co unto, where things are reported on tho boom, and the fact that the steamer Roa noke has dropped Cooos Bay from her route la also held responsible for the In creased traffic on the boats maintaining communication between that growing community and Portland. Northbound traffic from Coos Is quite heavy, too, as was Illustrated by the fact that the Al liance came in yesterday morning from Eureka and Coos with 47 passengers. Still heavier traffic is looked for with the approach of Summer, and It is not un likely that another steamer will be placed on the run to alternate with the KUburn. this Intention having been announced Borne time ago. Freight traffic, too. 1 heavyt the KUburn departing with a full cargo. The Columbia's cargo consisted mainly of flour, she, too, going out full to the hatches. 1 The southbound wheat movement con tinues and the steamer Czarina will be here in a few days to iQad a cargo under charter to the Northwestern Warehouse Company.

GYMNASIUM WORK EXHIBIT Pupils Do Well at Neighborhood JIousc Entertainment. The exhibition of gymnasium work given under the direction of Professor Robert Krohn at the Neighborhood Houso last night was well attended by the parents and friends of the class members and was a highly entertaining event. Professor Krohn's well-known success In this line of work was evident In the exhibition given by the lads on this occasion, and their agility and skill In all lines of gymnasium exercises was most satisfactory. The finely equipped gymnasium of tho Neighborhood House was fitted up by Adolphe Wolfe as a memorial to his son. and It has proved a source of great benefit to the youth of that part of the city. It proves a far greater attraction than the streets and Is liberally patron ized oa every occastoA -that-It 1 open. CITY IS l NOTIER Drake C. O'Reilly's Franchise Application. WHAT HE OFFERS TO DO In Seeking the Bight to Build a IIne on Front Street Bo 3Iakcs Novel Proposition the Council. to To operate a line on Front street from Columbia to Irving, connecting with the Southern Pacific at Columbia street and the Xorth Pacific Terminal grounds at the Union Station. In partnership with tho city is the plan of Drake C. O'Reilly, who has asked a franchise from the Council for such a line. Other roads are LINE. to be given the right to operate over the tracks, and switching charges foe hand ling cars of other roads arc not to ex ceed S2 each way In any case. After i per cent Is paid on the capital Invested in the road, the earnings are to be divided evenly between the city and Drake C. O'Reilly. It Is stated In Mr. O'Reilly's franchise application that the city shall have the right to take over the tracks of the road. together with its equipment, at any tlmo by paying to Drake O Rellly or his sue ccssors its cost value, without interest, or at Its actual value, to be determined by a board of appraisers, provided the city cannot elect to take over tho property on the ba?Is of actual cost without paying the Interest at 6 per cent per annum, earned but not received by Drake C O'Reilly. Stipulation About Transfer. It is stipulated that the franchise shall not be transferred to any other than responsible corporation, to bo approved by the city, and that the books of the company shall ntall times be open to the Inspection of the city officials, and the dividend to the city shall be paid at thi close of each fiscal year. "My proposition Is a business one. both from my standpoint and that of the city," said Mr. O'Reilly. In speaking of his application for the franchise. "The road would be controlled by my corpor atlon, but others could use It under such regulations as should be approved by the Council. The proposition is one of taking the city Into partnership, with the right to assume ownership at any time. "Charges for hauling cars over the line will depend on how much of a tax the city wants to put on traffic. The freight business would consist of switching cars for transcontinental business, the charges for which arc absorbed by the transconti nental railways, which is not a tax on the community at all. The Industries on the Southern Paclllc tracks south of Port land on the Yamhill division are sawmills which ship to the East. The Southern Pacific now has to take loads out by La Fayette and fmpties aro sent back the same way. The lumber then goes. East over the O. R. & N. The handling of this lumber would not change the grow rate on the business, but the road would be required merely to pay the switching charees on the Front-street line. I have no understanding with the Southern Pa clfic and O. R. & N. Spur Tracks Contemplated. "The project also contemplates spur tracks to industries along Front street If there Is a demand for them and tho Coun dl jrrants the right to build such spurs to warehouses ana jooDing nouses. "I consider my proposition a more ad vantngeous ono to the city, as It Is made a partner, which will share In the Joint earnings of the road, otners nave given the city the right to purchase their tracks, but as I understand 1U that means the whole system of tracks within the city, while my plan Is to sell to the city. If It desires to purchase, the road down Front street, which will be the only tracks I will have to sell." Mr. O'Reilly Is an old railroad man, having been In the employ of the Union Pacific and O. R. & N. for 17 years prior to 1S97, when he retired. Ho was assist ant general freight agent for the O. R. & N. when he quit the service of that company and then became one of the or ganizers and builders of the Columbia Southern. The streets to be traversed b Mr. O'Reilly's line would be Front street from Irving to Columbia street, and thence on Columbia street from Front to Water street and on Water from Columbia to Jefferson, and thence on Jefferson from Water to Front street and connecting with the Southern Paclflo Company at or near Water street. Tho line Is to be single-track, standard-guage, and oper ated by electric power. During the day passenger cars are to bo hauled over the line, while freight traffic Is to be handled at night only. IjUMBER SHIPJIEXTS EAST. Great Incre&so In Ntambcr of Car loads Over Xmst Year. Shipments of lumber to the East from Oregon "have greatly increased during the past few months and figures for the preseat month are expected to show an even greater Increase than the remarkable business done by the railroads entering Pertl&nd la Febru ary. A satisfactory feature of the case Is that the Oregon roads are supplying all the cars necessary, for the traffic, while dispatches from Washington say the .Sound mills are hard put to It for cars. During February, shipments of lum ber East by rail were remarkable and showed a tromendous Increase over the corresponding- month last year. The number of cars shipped In February, 1905, was 1200 from Oregon mills, while during- tho month ending March 1. 1906, 2000 cars of lumber went East. The increase would have been greater had It not beon for the heavy cargoes of lumber sent out from Portland dur ing tho month. Tho shipments go chiefly to the Mississippi Valley but some penetrate as far East as Phila delphia. New York and Boston. Govornnfcnt figures lately compiled on the standing timber tributary to Portland are decidedly favorable to this city and against the Sound. Be cause of the large logging operations on the Columbia River, which brings logs from a vast territory to Portland and other Oregon mills, the forests of Southwest Washington are tributary to Portland, as well as the strctcnes of timber on the Oregon side. Govern ment experts figure 200.300.000.000 feet are tributary to Portland, while 93,000.000,000 are tributary to Seattle. WILIi GO TO NEW YORK CITY V. S. Barstow "Will Arrange for Traction Bridge Over Willamette. W. S. "Bars tow. secretary of th Wil lamette Valley Traction Company, leaves today for New York, where he will make arrangements for a bridge across the Willamette River for the Salem division. He' will also place an order for WOO tons of steel rails while in the East. Ar rangements were closed yesterday for 2000 tons of 72-pound steel from the Car negie plant at Pittsburg. Pa. The 2C0O tons will be 'shipped In CO days. These two lots of rails will be sufficient to con struct the Portland-Salem division. I think the Joint franchise on Front street will be satisfactory both to our company and the United Railways Com pany.' said Mr. Barstow. "The remu neration to be paid the city has been cut out of both ordinances, and will be fixed by the Executive -Board." Press Excursion to Mexico. The general passenger department of the Southern Pacific has Issued a cir cular advertising the excursion to be run from San Francisco to the City of Mexico b the California Press Asso ciation, leaving San Francisco April 10. The trip south will be made on the Southern Pacific and the return will be by the Santa Fe. allowing an op portunity to visit the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Rates have been made ' lor any one who wishes to Join the excursion from Portland. "Reduces Hates on Phonographs. A step that promises to Increase the number of phonographs and other talk ing: machines In the state has Just been taken by the O. R. & N. Co.. which announces a reduction In freights on that commodity from $3.25 In less than carload shipments, to $2.50 per 100 pounds. In carload shipments the rate -will be reduced from $2.25 to $2.20. These changes will become effective April 1. Hallway Personals. "William Harder, general agent of the Great Northern, went to Astoria yesterday. W.

He Is now completing the contract, work on which 'was begun Septem ber 1. K. W. Foster, city passenger agent for the Burlington, has received an nouncements of a series of advertise ments to be printed in the magazines by tho Burlington exploiting the Pa clllc Coast tours offered by the com pany. These tours make Portland their objective point and will be good from June 1 to September 15 at the tourist rates offered for the Summer travel west.

The Edwards-Harrls- lamont Realty Company Inserted small advertisement In The Oregonlan yesterday morning and the property offered was sold bctora noon. The land affected was the Hartman tract of ftvo acres near Idnnton. It borders the Willamette Slough for 935- feet, and lies between It and the North- ern Pacific track. The prlco was $2200.

Dt Smart, RHEUMATIC PAINS THEY INVARIABLY YIELD TO DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS Because the Poisoned Blood Is Made Pure and Inflamed Tissues Are Healed. "When, in cold or wet weather, tho rheumatic patient feels twinges of pain in. the joints and muscles it is natural to think that the trouble is local and thnt it is caused Tjy the chill or tho damp. The truth is that rheumatism is a disease of the blood, caused by the failure of the body to cast oft! certain poisous. It is hereditary and often runs in several generations of one family. Cold, damp ness and certain localities do promote the development of the disease, but the root of the trouble is always in the blood. With this in mind, it will be readily seen how useless it is to try to cure rheumatism by rubbing liniments on the skin. External applications are of use in securing temporary relief from pain the cure for rheumatism lies in purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. "Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter Etreet, Sandy Hill, H". Y., was a sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism from the time she was sixteen. She says: "It first appeared in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist. It became a regular thing that I would be laid up all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hands, hips, feet and shoulders. My hands were all puffed up and my feet became deformed. I lost my appetite, couldn't sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out, the pain was so intense. " For several winters I was under the doctor's care and while his medicine re lieved the pain for a little while there seemed no prospect for a permanent cure. I was confined to my bed, off and on, for weeks at a time. My limbs swelled dreadfully at times and I was reduced almost to nothing. " In the spring of 1904, upon the ad Tice of a friend, I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. At that time I wasu't able to do anything and could barely eaWeuough to keep alive. I felt a chauge for the better in about a month. I began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course I kept ou the treatment, using care in my diet, and in abont three months I was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my own work."
