THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE, 7, 1006. T Has Never Refused to Sell Power to United Rail ways Company. WELCOMES NEW PATRONS Will Have Abundance of Electricity or I'ae of Xew Railroad Pres ident Evans Explains Speech at Banquet. Officials of the 'Portland General Electric Company yesterday expressed great surprise at the statements made by J. Wiiyte Evans, president of the t'nlted Railways Company, at the ban quet he Rave Tuesday night, to the effect that the Portland General has refused to sell power to the United Hallways. They unqualifiedly deny that such is the case and are at a losa to account for the remarks attributed to Mr. Evans. "We are In business to manufacture and sell power," said an officer of the company, "and whenever we can do this we are glad to do so, as the more electricity we sell, the more our plants will earn. We will have an abundance of power as soon . us the United Rail ways" isreatfy to use It. ns our Caza dcro power plant will be producing 5,000 horsepower by that time. "The policy of our company is to welcome electric or other railways to this territory, for they help the coun try and they help us. They increase the demand for electric energy, which we re in the market to furnish to all. We are therefore ready to welcome every new enterprise of that kind with open arms. "We have never offered the least op position to the United Railways Com pany and gfladly entered into negotia tions with the backers of the project to supply the road with power some time ago. A series of conversations was odd with the officials of the company and upon a request to put the sub stanre in writing:. President H. W. (Joode sent the following letter to W. . Larrahee on May o. and he received it the same day: Letter to Engineer l.arrabec. TV. P. Tvarrabs. Chlrf Engineer United Railways Company. Portland, Or. Dear Sir: TWerring to our conversation of yesterday. I her to advlH you that we chall b clad to furnish power for tha operation of your uburban railway system, including- such city lines as you have already received franchises for. or are now under consideration by the C'iiy Council. We are in a position to Immediately com mence , supplying- you with power In such quantities as may be required. You may be sure that the basis and terms of ihe contract will be reasonable, and I ahall be pleased1 to diecucs same with you whenever your plana have advanced) suffi ciently to make it possible for you to enter ln:o a contract. Tour very truly. H. W. GOODK, President. "At the time of the consolidation of the electric power and railway interests here some time ago. President Goode tele phoned the United Railways people, tell ing them that the change would make no difference in the arrangements begun with them to supply electric power for the operation of their railways around Port land." The negotiations have not progressed far enough to quote prices for power, said .an official of the electric company, us until it Is learned where the power Is to be delivered and the quantities needed It is Impossible to say what the cost will be. Certain portions of an article in yester day's Oregonian made it appear that the l'ortlsnd General Electric Company had refused to agree to furnish the United Railways Company with transmission power. President Evans stated last night that this was not the Impression he de sired to create by his remarks at the banquet given the Councilmen and others Tuesday evening. President Evans Explains. lie said: "I wished to convey the idea that the Portland General had declined to name any price at which they would be willing to supply us with electric mo tive power, but I never said that they had refused absolutely to let us have power when we needed it. "At the time we were preparing to float our bonds. It was an Important feature of the undertaking that prospective In vestors should know what price we were lo pay for our transmission power. This we nave never been able to ascertain, al though efforts have been made by both Mr. Larrabee and myself to find out from them the figures at which they would sell us the electricity we would require in the operation of our road." Is Not Seeking a Quarrel. Mr. Evans stated further that his com pany was not seeking any quarrel with the Portland General or any other cor poration, but had come here in the ex pectation of proceeding along business lines in the establishment of its enter prise. His people were prepared, how ver.. he said, to secure power from some other source In case the Portland General should name a price that was incompati ble with a fair amount of profit to the United Railways Company. PUTER IS COMING NORTH Land-Fraud King on His Way Back to Portland Jail. P. A. T). Puter, the Oregon la-od-fraud king, will once more grace the Slultnomah County Jail. The Federal authorities yesterday received a tele gram from San Francisco, statlng'that Puter. In charge of a United States deputy marshal, had left Oakland for Portland.

On his arrival here Puter will be taken at once to the County Jail, and there the formal transfer of the pris oner from the San Francisco Federal officer to the keeping of the local au thorities will be made.

WRIT IS REFUSED Court Will Not Interfere With Cape Horn Tunnel. HILL LOSES A POINT Kival Railroads May Bore Into Face ' or. Great Cliff to Suit Them selves, ' Says Judge McCredie. Rival railroads can bore as many holes through Cape Horn as tbey like, and the conflicting tunnels may intersect each other at as many points as the engineers choose, to let them. This is the glat of a decision handed down yesterday by Judge McCredie, of the Clarke County Superior Court, who denied the Injunction brought by the Portland & Seattle Railway to stop work on the Columbia Valley RaHroada tunnel, which is being driven into the east face of Cape Horn, while the Port land & Seattle is boring a tunnel Into the west side of the cliff. Far underground the two tunnels will conflict, It to claimed, making it impossible to operate trains through both. In denying the injunction, Judge McCre die followed- a precedent he set some time ago, when be denied Injunctions asked by the Harriman corporation to stop the Hill road from encroaching on property be longing to the rival railroad. The injunction cases will be argued on their merits before Judge McCredie on July 6. FREIGHT AGEXT MILLER HOME Believes Xcw Cubical Minimums AVlil Be Found SatisfactO!r. R. B, Miller, general freight agent of the Harriman lines, returned to Port land yesterday from St. Paul, where he has been for the past few weeks effecting a settlement of rate questions that have been bothering the Northwestern lumber men. A conference between freight offi cials of the Western railroads and the millers was held, during which the situa tion was thoroughly gone over. The re sult was that the proposed cubical mini mums for Eastern lumber loading were rescinded and cubical minimums about 9 per cent below those proposed were agreed upon, to become effective July 15. "I believe the minimums of 9 per cent below those proposed will be found satis factory by shippers," said Mr. Miller. "They will not become effective until July 15, and this will give lumbermen about six weeks to experiment and see what they can do with the new minimums. I believe the minimums can be loaded and if the millmen will u.e all available space in the cars, the result will be that fewer cars will carry the same amount of lum ber that is now being hauled. "The object is to use the full capacity of the cars, save unnecessary hauling of cars west, and provide more cars for the lumber shippers. All this will result if the cars are loaded to their full capacity. Any minimum that can be loaded will be satisfactory to the lumbermen. "The meeting at St. Paul was a pleas ant one. The Northwestern lumber man ufacturers present showed a disposition to co-operate with the carriers in every way, and I am sura they will use their best efforts to load to the new mini mums." F. II. Ransom and F A. Knapp, repre sentatives of the Portland lumbermen, who attended the rate conference, are now on their way home, and will reach Portland Sunday or Monday. ENGINEER DARLING IX CITY Here to Inspect Work on Xew Hill Road Bridges. W. L. Darling, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific, reached Portland yesterday from the Sound and will probably leave tonight or tomorrow for St. Paul. Mr. Darling will spend today in looking over the preliminary work on the Willamette bridge of the Portland & Seattle and in inspecting the work on the Columbia bridge and the new Hill road near Vancouver. While the Portland & Seattle is be ing built. Mr. Darling will have gen eral supervision of the work. Mr. Darling was In Portland a month ago and will probably make frequent trips to this city during the progress of the work. He is accompanied on this trip by his wife. Xew Xorthern Pacific Pamphlets. Two books just Isued by the North ern Pacific's advertising department are of more than usual Interest to Portland people, because of the space that Portland and Oregon are given in them. "Eastward Through the Storied Northwest" Is the title of one publication, Intended to draw the tour ist travel from California north through Oregon and Washington to the East. Views of Portland and other Oregon points, with special em phasis placed on the Columbia River scenery, occupy prominent places in the book', which is profusely Illustrat ed. The publication is in color with an attractive cover. The other publication is a 'booklet Illustrating the North Coast Limited the Northern Pacific's crack trans-continental train. J. 1. Walch Succeeds Sullivan. Guy Talbot, general manager of the Hammond roads, announces the appoint ment of J. T. Walch as superintendent of the Corvallis & Eastern. Mr. Walch has been master mechanic of the road for a number of years, and is thorougnly fa miliar with the task of keeping the road In condition and in operating it. He Is the successor of Cornelius Sullivan, who died last week, and who was buried at Albany yesterday. A party of Hammond officials, headed by Mr. Talbot, attended the funeral. SITE FINALLY SELECTED Brooklyn Englne-House to Be on Powell and East Twelfth. ' The matter of the location of the Brook lyn engine-house was amicably settled yesterday afternoon, after a conference held on the grounds of the city, at the corner of Milwaukle and Powell street. The Fire Department was represented by Chief Campbell and District Engineer Holden. the Water Committee by Dr. Raf fety. Mr. Allen and Superintendent Frank T. Dodge, and the Council by Councilmen A. G. Rushlight and A. N. Wills, and City Engineer Taylor. Edward Gray, of the Water Department, was also present to give information. After considerable discussion it was de cided to locate the engine-house at the corner of Powell and East Twelfth streets, or rather in East Twelfth street extended. The Water Committee Is using tnis tract, wntcn consists of about 34 acres, for storing water mains, and has that part to be used for the proposed engine-house covered with pipe. Superintendent Dodge and some of the members of the Water Committee thought that the engine-house might be placed so It would face Milwaukle street at the north end of the ground, but Chief Camp bell and District Engineer Holden con vinced them that It would not be a suit able place, as it would remove the engine several blocks from the central portion of the district to be protected. Chief Campbell's chief objection was that the engine-house would face a narrow street occupied by double car tracks. At the corner of Powell and East Twelfth streets the engine-house, he said, would face a single car track; besides would also face Kast Twelfth street, extending southward toward a great settled district. Repre sentatives of the Water Committee agreed to comply with the request of the Chief. It was practically decided to appropri ate about 50x100 feet in that corner of the tract, and the ordinance appropriating 100x100 will be repealed. Another will be prepared embodying the new arrange ment. To avoid legal complications over the transfer of the lot for this engine house the city or Fire Department will buy the ground for a nominal sum, per haps $1, from the Water Committee, which, it seems, has a deed to the tract. Dr. Raffety and Mr. Allen, of the Water Committee, thought that this was tho best way to proceed under the circum stances. Plans for the engine-house are com pleted. It will be 3fix74 feet. The bids for erection of the building will be opened June 8. CHILD WIFE'S COMPLAINT Mrs. Joseph T. Ellis Makes Sensa tional Charges in Court. The divorce suit of Goldie Ellis against Joseph T. Ellis, foreman for the North ern racltic Terminal Company, was heard yesterday by Judge Frazer. The couple were married in January last, at which time the plaintiff was only 16 years old.

C Kinney, testified against Mr. Ellis. Mrs. Kinney asserted that Ellis once made an improper proposal to her, and Mr. Kinney testified that he ordered Ellis to move from his house. Mr. Ellis and his wife, for some time after marriage, made their home with Mr. and Mrs. Kin ney. Two sisters of the defendant testi fied in his behalf, denying certain sensa tional charges made against him by Mrs. Kinncji and her husband. Mr. Ellis testified that his trouhles were due to Interference In his domestic af fairs by Mrs. Kinney, and said Mrs. Kin r.ey once attempted suicide by Inhaling gas. Each side strongly contradicts the other. L. E. Crouch appeared as attorney for Mrs. Ellis, and H. H. Northup for the defense. The trial' will be concluded to day. Prison for Bookthicf. "I had no money to live on, so I stole the books and pawned, them," said W. H. Howard, a San Francisco refugee, yesterday in Judge Sears' Court. Howard is a young man only II years of age. He came here from the Bay City several weeks ago, and was given employment by Ed Menden hall painting a house at the corner of Sixth and Columbia streets.

Chief Tyson inspected the local fire de partment yesterday under the guidance of Chief Campbell, and pronounced it the best equipped and disciplined for Its size of any he had seen In the country. He was amazed, however, that with such an extent of water front only one flreboal has been provided, and predicted that if the city is ever visited by a general con flagration. It would unquestionably orig inate there. He also thinks a water tower should be owned by the city. The head of the Louisville fire fighters is the proud possessor of a magnificent diamond badge presented by citizens of the place as a token of their esteem.

TALKS OF NEW THEATER Has Letter From Eastern Washing ton Millionaire Suggesting Haste In Building to His Port land Agent. John F. Corray arrived home last even ing from Spokane, beaming with pleasure at the - prospect of seeing work started soon on the big theater Charles Sweeny is going to build for him on the old Dekum property, on Morrison, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. Mr. Cordray has a letter from Mr. Flnucane, Mr. Sweeny's son-in-law. announcing the project to N. W. Rountree. Mr. Sweeny's agent in Portland, and suggesting all dls patch practical business baste may deem necessary. J. A. Zittle. the architect, came down with Mr. Cordray, and had an outline plan of the front of the building in his grip enough to show the general charac ter of the. structure. It will be five sto ries high, of brick, with stone trimmings. very similar in appearance to the build ing that Mr. Sweeny has nearly finished for Tull & Gibbs at the corner of Morri son and Seventh streets. It will front 100 feet on Morrison street, and have a depth of 200 feet on Thirteenth street. It will contain about 40 rooms and four stores fronting on Morrison street that will be a source of revenue to the people wno run tne theater. A deal has been made whereby Mr. Cordray and his associates lease the building from Mr. Sweeny, and they have the advantage of subleasing the rooms and the stores. In addition to running the theater. Mr. Cordray said that he con trolled the "whole thing." but he ad mitted that there were others interested in the enterprise with him. Who they are, and what the attractions are that will open the theater, he refused to say at this time. He claimed that at the present moment it would be premature to announce his attractions, further than to say that the theater w-ould be absolutely independent. He assures Portland people that the the ater will be filled with attractions there Is no death of them, he said; he has re ceived a bushel of telegrams as to such matters already, which he has not yet had time to answer. Mr. Cordray also said that Mr. Swee ny intended soon to build a large first-class apartment-house adjoining the theater on the Dekum property. The theater will greatly improve the neighborhood and give an impetus to property values, and the big apartment-house will further that result. Mr. Cordray says they are going right ahead as quickly as stone and brick and mortur can be put togethee. It only remains to execute the details of the Plans which are all agreed upon. Mr. Cordray was very emphatic on the point that, at last, he could carry out his old pet plan of providing Portland with an appropriate hall where National conventions of various organizations, political, 'social, educa tional or commercial, can be held. When this new, large theater, seat ing 2500 at least, is built, this city can bid for such immense gatherings and bring them to Portland. LIBRARIAN FILES REPORT Circulation of Books Shows X'o Sum mer -Decrease. At the regular monthly meeting of the directors of the Library' Association, held last evening, the acting libra ian reported that there had been a decided) increase In the use of the library over April, in spite of the fact that at this season of the year the attendance usually falls off.

Casto, who have finished their appren ticeships, were added to the staff. A large number of trade catalogues for the um of engineers, has been sent for and added to the reference room collec tion. As many -books as possible have been ordered for the mission study classes. THE POST DISCOVERY A Revelation in Human Food. Previous to the discovery of the Post process of changing the starchy part of wheat and barley Into a form of sugar, many people suffered from what is known as starch Indigestion. That was shown by gas and all sorts of stomach and bowel trouble (sometimes ending in appendicitis) brought on by the undigested starch in wheat, oats, white bread, cake, puddings, etc., etc. Nature ultimately punishes any one who continually takes some medicine or drug to smooth over or nullify bad conditions of the body. The only safe way to cure such is to correct or remove the cause. Therefore It was plain to Mr. Post, in working out his discovers", that people who show some weakness in digesting the starchy part of food (which is much the largest part of all we eat) must be helped by having the starch digested or transformed before being eaten. And of course the safest and truest way to do this would be tb imitate nature and avoid all chemicals or outside and unnatural things. The befdy digests the starchy food Dy tne sniiowing process: First the mois ture or juices of the mouth and stomach, then warmth or mild heat, which grows or develops diastase from the grain. Time is also an important element, and when all work together and the human organs operate properly the starch is slowly turned Into a lorm of sugar, as it must be before the blood will absorb it and carry the needed energyto different parts or the body. Of course if the body fails to do Its work perfectly trouble sets In. . So in the making of the famous food Grape-Nuts moisture, warmth and time are the only things used to 'turn starch into sugar, thus imitating nature and keeping the human food In original purity. free from outside things and just as Mother Nature intends it shall be kept ror advantageous use Dy ner cmidren. The food is fully cooked at the factories. and is crisp and delicious with a little thick cream poured over. It can be softened for people with weak teeth, but is most valuable to others when It must be energetically chewed, thus bringing down the saliva from the gums to go to the stomach and help di gest the entire meal, besides the use of the teeth strengthens and preserves them. Nature blesses the parts of the body that are used and not abused. Grape-Nuts food brings peace, health and comfort when people are In despair from any one of the ails resulting from undigested food.

SAN FRANCISCO PUN IS CHANGED Carnival to Be Held Instead of Industrial Fair. COMMITTEE TAKES ACTION Inhibition of Oregon rrotlucts and Manufactures to Be a Subordi nate Feature Grounds 'ot Vet Secured. Instead of an Industrial fair to last for a month this Fall, the committee which has the matter in charge has decided to turn the affair into a car nival lasting about ten days that will surpass anything of the kind ever be fore attempted in this part of the rountry. Brilliant features of a Mardi Qras order are planned. The committee, headed by Adolph Wolfe, with Dan McAllen for secre tary, met last night In the Portland Hotel and deliberated for some time over the scope of the exposition to be held. Some favored securing the Fair buildings and holding an exhibit of the products of manufacturers and producers, similar to the Mechanics' Fair of San Francisco. But after some discussion it was determined to give up this kind of a fair,' as too large an undertaking with the short time before Fall. It was believed that an exposition at the Fair grounds would be a faint echo of the Lewis and Clark Fair and would prove a disappoint ment to the public. To answer all objections that were urged, Dan McAllen had a good deal of enthusiasm. "There is no question of the success of the fair we are going to hold. We can accomplish everything else easily. As far as getting the money and carry ing it through, there will be no trou ble at all." The members of the committee ex pressed themselves generally on the matter, and it was found that the ma jority was in favor of not taking up a large fair on the Exposition grounds chiefly because the time is too short between now and September, when it was proposed to open the fair, to get the grounds and buildings in condi tion. Chairman Wolfe entertained a mo tion to discharge all former commit tees appointed to arrange preliminaries for the Industrial fair and appoint In their stead an executive committee of ten. which shall outline the carnival IttiniiMIIUUUmi CIGAR Costs only half as much as it is worth.

Something unique In outdoor amuse ment is contemplated for the carnival, which will probably be held late In the Summer on dat,es not- in conflict with the State Fair. Brilliant electric schemes for lighting the streets, with striking parades, sports,- possible aquatic carnivals on the river, and many forms of entertainment are be ing suggested. In connection with the other fea tures, a display by the manufacturers of the state will probably be ma dor- in a suitable building downtown. WILL RENEW THE FIGHT Woman Suffragibt Campaign.
