- No more than an hour after Judito

JiftrlL This UDBftta th announcement
made by T. E. Dudal that be had

Ion a which m.r-- ovrr the failure of
Russ Hall to get pecuniary backing for
tne Pacific Coast League ba
franchise whloh. he asked for at the
m nn ual meeting. Mall it an sone ovor
to trie Northwest League, and this left
Seattle without a Coast League official.
When Rubs Hall toolc the hurdles
Judfre McCradle fully expected that
uKdale, whose application for the
Frame coast irancniBfl lailcfl to rcacti
the Los Angeles meeting-, would slip
lh and take the franchise. Dundale,
Yiowever. it soezna has entered Into a
deal with Hall and is now declaring
that Vift will put a Northwest League
team here. ,
Dugdale 3 lay Withdraw.
Dugdale has leased a park at
Twelfth and Yeuler streets, hut from
rood authority I learned tonight ' that
. lrjgdaie has said he would not go into
biseball here if the Coast League was
frolng- to make a fight for Its territory.
This, coupled with the fact that Judge
McCredie can get a 10-year lease on
ground admirably suited for a ball
park only 12 minutes' car ride from the
heart of the city, on two direct street
carlines, would indicate there will be
no baseball war in Seattle,
Dugdale Is undoubtedly the most pop
ular baseball magnate that ever hit
itaattle. He is the idol ot the fans, and
they want him back in baseball. Fur
thermore he wants to break back into the
gtme. but not bud enough to go into the
outlaw business. This he would have to
do if he joins the .Northwest League. In
lils talk with newspaper men tonight
Judge McCredle made it plain that the
""canters have no intention of giving; up
Seattle,

'It it comes to a war," he said. Seat

proud of. We shall get the best, man

Seattle to put up a dollar until the war,
If there is to be a war. Is settled. Then.

Change in Voodburn-Xatron Line.
ALBAN y . Or. , Jan. 15. Special. )
That the Southern Pacific intends to
abandon the route of its Woodburn-Na-
tron line through the northern part of
Linn County, because of the troublesome
bridge across the South Ban nam near
Crabtree. is evidenced by the fact that
a turntable is now being built at Crab-
tree. This means that trains will here
after turn around there, run back to
Shelburn and continue southward to
Natron, via the Corvallis & Eastern from
Shelburn to Albany and the Lebanon
branch from Albany "to Tallman.
The Santlam bridge has caused enough
expense to build a new line of consider
able lenflfth. It has probably been lm
passable more than any other railroad
bridge In Oregon. The shifting o the
channel has caused the damage. It Is
believed that, the new line will leave the
old one at Crabtree. proceed up the north
bank, of the South San t tarn to Lebanon,
and cross the river there. From Leba
non It "wo 1 A then run southeast, joining;
the main line again at Linn Station, be
low Brownsville. It fa said the Crab-
tree-Lebanon road will be built as soon
as weather conditions permit.
This- change will be welcomed In Linn
County, especially by residents of leba-
non.. It will eliminate long waits at Tall-
man, present junction of the Woodburn-
Natron and Albany-Lebanon branches.
Since the line is to be changed resi
dents of Scio are making an effort to have
it run through that town.
Snow Saves Town or Rainier.
ItATXIKU, Or.. Jan. li-fSpeeiaU
But for the hen vy coating- of snow on the
roofs of all the buildings in this city.
last night would undoubtedly have been
memorable for the destruction of the
greater portion of the 'business district
of Rainier. Fire, caused by a defective
flue, destroyed the residence of Ir. E. F.
ilusson at midnight. There was no water
available, and therefore there was noth-
irK to be done but to stand idly by and
witness the destruction of one of the
best homes m the city, An east wind
carried sparks Into the business part of
the town, but the snow rendered them
harmless.
Thp nre only emphasizes the tact that
Rainier Is absolutely without fire pro-

PORT COMMISSION A FUZZIjE
Two Places to Be Pilled ty TRlwla
tar at Present Session.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 15. (Staff Correspond
ence.) Two place. In the Port of Portland
commission are to be oiled by the leis-
lature, those of W. D. Wheelwright and
C. P. Swigert. The Multnomah members
of the lesislature have not taken up the
matter yet. and it cannot now be fore
told whether Wheelwright and Swigert
will be re-elected by the Legislature, or
what candidates will spring- up.
Wheelwright and Swigert were elected
to membership by th commission to fill
vacancies. The law of 1902 aays: "All
vacancies arising in said commission
from any cause shall be filled by- the
remaining -members by election until the
next session of the Legislative Assembly
of the State of Oreg-on, when said va
cancies so created shall he filled by elec
tion by said legislative session."
Swlgert was appointed to the commis
sion in 1903 by the Legislature. He served
until Bolnsr to Europe, when W. I - "Wheel
wright was elected to his place toy the
commission.
George B. Thomas was another com
missioner appointed by the Legislature in
1903. Recently he resigned and Swlg-ert.
returned from Europe, was elected tp his
place by the commission.
The tenures of Wheelwright and Swigert
appear to have ended yesterday, because
lasting only- "until the next session ot
the Legislative Assembly."
The other members of the commission
are Captain A. 1. Pease, John Drlscoll. C.
F. Adams, P. L. Willis and J. C. Alns
worth. Had the legislature power to make the
seats In the commission elective by the
people, it would probably do this, at the
instance of the Multnomah lawmakers,
most of whom favor the popular elective
method. liut the Legislature is now
barred from amending or repealing the
law constituting the Port of Portland and
the commission, by the home rule for
municipalities constitutional enactment
of the last June election, forbidding? the
Legislature to "enact, amend or repeal
any charter or act of Incorporation for
any municipality, city or town"; at least
such is the predominating opinion of the
