ENGINEERS Objection Filed on Behalf of Oswego Iron 'Works on Ground That the Bridge as Planned Would Obstruct Navigation. In accordance with the provisions of an act passed by the Legislature, the Southern Pacific Company has appealed to the United States Engineers for per mission to construct a ibridKe across the Willamette River at Oswpgo. A remon strance has Keen nisei by A. S. Pattullo, representing the Oswego iron works and the question ha been taken under advise ment, pending the Introduction of all testimony bearing on the subject, by Colonel Roessler. A decision will be rendered in r few days. In the application filed with the en gineers it is proposed to build a high bridge allowing plenty of room under neath to permit of the passage of all river steamers. To tills the owners of the-iron works at Oswego entered a pro tect. The stand taken by the opposition was that It Is possible that the works will be operated at some future time and n that case It would be necessary to bring In the ore in schooners and other leep-sea vessels. A bridge across the iver would be a menace to navigation of this cla-ss. For a decade the reduction works at Dswego have been idle. The ore used B'aa of too low grade to make the opera tion of the plant a financial success and t was allowed to pass Into history as one f the enterprises of other days. The trestles and bridges have fallen down, he machinery is rusty and the brick rfork Is crumbling. To place the plant n a running basis would require the ex penditure of a considerable sum of money and tho opposition to the bridge Is not based on any formulated plan to start the works but only on the idea that at some future time the owners might desire to open the plant. WORK BEGIN OX XK,V ROAD Grading for Oregon Klectrical Com menced in South Portland. Full crews of workmen have been started to grading through Terwilllger Fark in South Portland by the Oregon Klectrical Railway. Portland's latest and best Interurban road. The favorable wea ther of t lie past week has been seized upon to make all the progress possible and It Is the firm Intention of Chief Kn gineer Donald to have electric trains spinning between Portland and Salem by the last of September. Work is going forward at Hood and Porter nndi Arthur streets. Twenty-five teams and fiO or 70 men are busy build ing grade. The work there Is heavy but good progress is being made. A similar crew is working between Tualatin and the site of the Willamette River bridge at Wilsonville. A steam shovel is being used there and similar digging appliances will be used just south of the city when the work through the hills is started. '" It is expected to have everything pro ceed rapidly In the construction of the ?alem line from this time on. During the Winter, on account jif the heavy wea ther, but little could be accomplished but preliminaries have been constantly going on and arrangements made for great activity during the Spring and Rummer. The AVilsonvllle-brldge piers are now well alona and the superstruc ture will be erected this Summer. It is expected that this bridge will he the last part of the line to he completed. The construction of the line is under the direction of W. S. Rarstow & Co.. engineers. V. S. Rarstow, the head of the firm, is well known in Portland, where officers of the company are main tained. The head office Is in New York and quarters have hoen taken in Montreal lately, where another branch office has been established. COXSTltl C'TIOX TO BE IU SHED I'nlted Railways Must Hasten Work to Save Franchise. In addition to hurrying work on the Front street line in order to comply with the requirements of the franchise, the United Railways Company will have to rush things on Stark street to make good on the Oregon Traction Company fran chise. This franchise will expire in May and if the road within the city limits is not completed In that time, the city will probably recall its permission to lay tracks. The Oregon Traction Company's fran chise covers Stark street from Front to Twelfth, on Twelfth to Pettygrove. out that street to Twenty-rsixth, thence out to the city limits at the west side of Mount Calvary Cemetery. This is the Portland end of a projected road to Hillsboro and Forest Grove. The first line laid out over the hills west of the city proved imprac ticable and the surveys were abandoned for a pass west of Linnton. A tunnel was planned for the summit of the hills and the surveys from that point cross Tuala tin plains and run through much of the finest farming country In Washington County. Some of the streets covered by the proj ects mapped out by the Oregon Traction Company have been occupied and tracks laid. The original promoters of the com pany laid about a mile of track. A large part of this was on Twelfth street from Rurnslde nearly to Pettygrove and some rails were put down on Pettygrove. When the United Railways purchased the Oregon Traction in the first flush of the big plan of city and Interurban railroads, a few blocks of additional track were laid to comply with the franchise. During the past year no progress has been made on the Stark-street lines. It Is expected the Council will be asked to extend the franchise. Only this, it seems, will insure the completion of the scheme originally planned. However, the new owners of the United Railways say the projected roads will be built and they may hope to lay the required track before May. Of this they will not say. MICH FREIGHT FOR SIBERIA Eastern Consignments Brought to Portland for Trans-Shipment. Portland is becoming the gateway for the trans-shipment of considerable Ameri can freights to Vladivostok. Siberia. The latest such shipment of importance Is a train of 2S cars now due here over the Northern Pacific. The shipment Includes 25 cars of harvesting machinery and one car of twine. It will be shipped from here on the steamer Quito, which is now due. having left Moji February 7. The vessel has been chartered for Vladivostok by Frank Waterhouse & Co. This ship ment shows how the American harvester trust is making inroads into foreign manufactures of this line of machinery. CONFIDENT OF WINNING SUIT Portland & Seattle Does Not Expect to Lo.se North Bank Grade. Far from being alarmed by reports that the Harriman system is likely to secure the Portland & Seattle grade and tracks so far laid down the north bank of the Columbia, the Hill line Is confident that the cases now being heard in the land office department will confirm the former decision of the courts. Officials of the Columbia Val ley, the opposing Harriman road, do not express much enthusiasm over the expected outcome of the cases. More activity than ever before is being shown on the construction of the Portland & Seattle Railway. Large crews are now being worked -and splendid progress Is being; made. Over ten miles of the line has ben laid with steel, and track-builders are now busy below Hoover and are working toward Vancouver. Some double track is in cluded in this work already done. The firm of Porter Bros. & Welch, which has the contract for the con struction of thg 70 miles on the west end, expects to complete the contract by the last of October. The firm now has over 1200 men at work and since the weather has improved, rapid prog ress is being made. Pullman Service Resumed. The local office of the Great Northern has been notified that standard Pullman service has tjeen resumed on Trains 3 and 4 and tourist sleepers have again been attached to trains 1 and 2. Six weeks ago these cars were detached from these trains on account of the heavy weather conditions and the necessity for lightening the trains. As normal operat ing conditions on the Great Northern have been realized, the former service will be kept up. R. B. Miller Goes South. R. B. Miller, general freight agent for the Harriman lines in the Northwest, left Tuesday night for San Francisco, where he will spend a week on busi ness. He had intended to attend the Chicago session of the freight officials of the transcontinental railroads on March 4, when Coast rates will be discussed but the trip south prevented his attend ance. W. E. Coman, assistant to Mr. Miller, will attend the Chicago confer ence and he left last night for the East. STANDS BY WICKEBSHAM Roosevelt Will Appoint Again and Investigate Again. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. It was an nounced at the Department of Justice today that the President would not send the nomination of Judge James Wicker sham for the judgeship in the Third Alas ka District to the Senate this session, but will give Judge Wickersham a recess ap pointment. As soon as circumstances will permit, a suitable person will be sent to Alaska for further investigation into the matters involved. This action was determined on at a conference today between, the President and Attorney-Gcneray Bonaparte. The in quiry will be finished in time to permit the President to send again his name to the Senate if the charges against him are not sustained. ADOPTS CONFERENCE REPORTS Allows Brigadiers Major-General's Pay Criminal Appeal Bill Passed. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. After an hour's discussion the House today reced ed from its position and concurred in the Senate amendment to tl Army appropri ation bill, providing that officers wh served creditably in the regular or vol unteer forces during the Civil War and who now hold the rank of Brigadier-General upon the active list of the army, having previously held that rank for three years or more, shall, when retired from active service, have the rank and retired pay of a Major-General. The House accepted the conference re port upon the bill granting to the Govern ment the right of appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States in criminal (Vises. The report was adopted by the Senate yesterday and the bill now only lacks the approval of the President to make it a law. The House agreed to conference reports on the river and harbor bill, the District of Columbia appropriation bill, the Navy appropriation bill, the sundry civil ap propriation bill and the bill authorizing the allotment and disposal of surplus land in the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South. Dakota. The President returned to the House without his approval a biil for the relief of J. W. Bauer and others growing out of their failure to make returns for spe cial tax as retail dealers In oleomar garine. Accuses Wright or Poisoning. DENVER, Feb. 27. The Coroner's jury today found that Cora B. Wright and Genevieve Wright came to their death as the result of being poisoned with some chemical ooison. and that th innr believes said poison was administered by ren v ngni . wun telonious intent. Coroner Collins will hnv rhAmii .,.. made of the internal organs of the wom an ana cnua to ascertain what poison was used. The Pneumonia Season. From the Des Moines Register and Leader. "Whv has th! fioncu-tn . 1 . . come known aa the pneumonia season? .. uuiiiik mo i-iusiug weeK or the old year were there more deaths In Chicago and New ork from pneumonia than tuberculosis? Why are pneumonia and related bronchial troubles beginning to take the place of tuberculosis as the dread scourge of city life? Simply and solely because we are devoting too much ingenuity and energy in dodging, the fresh and invigorating Winter air that every 12 months refrigerates our Ia.5 tude. "It is believed now that pneumonia Is an infectious disease, and that in the cities where the death rate is growing so rapidly It is communicated In the heated and crowded cars. A nickel is bo small, and the cold air is so chilling that the American people are forgettinir how to walk. The old-time red that burned the cheek of childhood does not visit a mature face on an average of once in the 12 months, not even the red of a chilly and pinched nose. We are getting afraid of the climate, and as a result, the climate is taking its re venge. M " "The mere habit of turning up coat collars has killed thousands of people, and the fur boa has a long list to its account, for no part of the human body becomes delicate more quickly because of superfuous covering than the throat. And yet we are multiplying devices for turning up more coat collars It is not too early to recognize that this is all wrong, that our climate Is here to stav and that If we are going to live In it with comfort we must accommodate ourselves to, .,U nayto keep on good terms with the climate." A great many have learned that pneu monia may be avoided by taking Cham berlain's Cough Remedy whenever thev have a cold. It counteracts any tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for colds and grip during the epidemics of the past few years, we have yet to learn of a single one having had pneumonia, which should certainly con vince the most skeptical of the value of that preparation. Its remarkable cures of colds have made it a staple article of trade and commerce throughout the Uni ted States and in many foreign 'countries. CHANGE ALL AROUrJD President Reorganizing Heads of Canal Board. OLIVER. IN ANGRY MOOD Says President Promised Him Con tract and Will Make Statement and Publish Correspondence About Proposed Contract. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. The Presi dent "conferred at the White House to day with Secretaries Taft and Root re garding details of th.e reorganization scheme for the Panama canal work. It Is understood that Colonel Haines and Benjamin Harrod, civil engineers, both members of the present Commission, will retire. Admiral Endicott, the only remaining member of the old Commis sion, will be retained, as the law re quires that one naval civil engineer shall be included In Its membership. Majors Goethals. Gaillard and Sie bert, who yesterday were named as members of the Commission, will re ceive salaries considerably in excess of those they now receive, namely $4,000 a year. It is the intention to divide among them the salaries now paid to Messrs. Shonts and Stevens, aggregat ing J60.000 per annum, as long as they are engaged in canal work. Change Conies In April. It Is stated that Chief Engineer Stev ens resigned with the statement that he would remain in charge of the Isth mus until his successor arrived and was thoroughly initiated into the new duties and prepared to take them over. It is probable the transfer can be ef fected early in April. " It will be necessary for the army en gineers to make a personal inspection of every part of the canal construction work before any determination can be reached as to the method of conduct ing the work in the future. The Pres ident's letter yesterday indicated that there might be a recurrence to the con tract plan, but even if that should be the case, the officers will find them selves able to manage the work in a supervisory capacity, just as they now do several of the large river and har bor projects in execution in this coun try. Oliver Claims Promise. Telegrams were received at the White House today from the South, asking the President to name W. J. Oliver, whose bid for the construction of the canal was rejected, as a member of the Isthmian Canal Commission. Mr. Taft eaid tonight that lie did not be lieve the President was considering such appointment. Mr. Oliver said he would not accept the place if it were tendered him. When he has been of ficially notified that the bid of the Panama Canal Construction Company has been rejected, Mr. Oliver will give out a statement for publication. "Only last Thursday," he said tonight, "the President assured my friends that I would be given the contract and went so far as to say that he would be down In Panama next November and that he was confident that by then he would have the work well under way." Will Publish Correspondence. The corporation owned by Mr. Oliver will be dissolved at once. Mr. Oliver says he has spent $40,000 preparing bids and organizing his company. John B. McDonald. of New York, president of the Panama Canal Con struction Company, will arrive in Washington tomorrow and will assist Mr. Oliver in preparing a statement, including , all the official correspond ence between Mr. Oliver and his asso ciates and the President, Secretary of War and Isthmian Canal Commission regarding canal contract work, which will be given to the press. PANAMA, Feb. 27. John F. Stevens, until recently chief engineer of the Panama Canal, left here today for New York. . CHANGES IN POSTAL SERVICE Shallcnberger and Madden to Leave. McCleary Is Appointed. WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. Postmaster General Cortelyou today announced the resignation of W. S. Shallenberger, Sec ond Assistant Postmaster-General. Rep resentative James T. McCleary, of Min nesota, who retires from Congress at the conclusion of the present session, will sucveed him. Official announce ment of the appointment of Mr. McCleary was made, the President tendering him the position on the recommendation of Mr. Cortelyou. Edwin C. Madden, Third Assistant Postmaster-General, also will retire within a few weeks. His resignation has not yet been accepted, but will be. It is understood, within a few days. Mr. Cortelyou has decided to- appoint Alexander Grant as General Superin tendent of the Railway Mail Service to succeed James E. White, who resigned that position five or six weeks ago, after 14 years' service.' Mr. Grant is at pres ent Assistant Superintendent and is thoroughly familiar with the details of the service. The announcement of Mr. Shallenberg er's retirement did not come as a sur prise. An official statement announcing the resignation says he has filled the position for nearly ten years and that he "has stood for honesty and efficiency in the conduct of the duties of his office." President Roosevelt has written him a complimentary letter. Thus far no Intimation has been given from official sources as to who will succeed Mr. Madden. It is understood that the names of several men are un der consideration, but no decision has yet been reached. LOSE AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP Senate Expatriates Residents Abroad. Patterson on Ownership. WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. After listening to an argument by Patterson of Colorado in favor of Government ownership of railroads, the enate today agreed to the conference report on the river and harbor bill. Protests were made against, the re duction from $650,000 to $250,000 of the amount for improvements in the Missis sippi River between Cairo and St Louis by Hopkins. Cullom, Stone, Allison and Overman. The smaller amount prevailed. The Senate passed the Daniel bill es tablishing "the foundation for the promo tion of Industrial peace." It authorizes a board of trustees to receive from Presi dent Roosevelt the Noble peace prize as the nucleus of a fund to bring together at Washington representatives of capital and labor to discuss labor problems. The expatriation bill also was passed. It authorizes the issuance of passports to persons who have declared their inten tion of becoming citizens of the United States and have lived in this country three years and who wish to visit coun tries other than the one of which they are natives. The bill fixes the status of American women who marry foreigners and foreign women who marry Americans. In the latter case the citizenship of the wife is retained during coverture and as long as she continues to live in the United States. An American woman can retain her citi zenship after her marriage to a foreigner terminates and she makes proper appli cation. The bill provides that a natural ized citizen of this country who goes abroad and resides for nve years shall be presumed to have abandoned his Ameri can citizenship. Predicting that Government ownership of railroads will be an accomplished fact within the lifetime of present members of the Senate, yet not anticipating speedy action in that direction, Patterson made an exhaustive presentation of the subject in advocacy of Government ownership. Patterson's remarks were predicated on a bill recently introduced by him providing for the acquisition of the railroads of the country by the Government. The railroad rate law he regarded as presenting little prom ise of relief. This legislation, he con tended, was forced on the railroads by the pressure of public sentiment, and when it becomes plain to the people that no relief has resulted, the same pressure will accomplish Government ownership. Patterson presented a table which he said shows that the construction and own ership of railroads is really the business of governments, as three-fourths of the democracies and two-thirds of the mon archies of the world own railroads. The railroads, he declared, were grow ing more arrogant each year, and as 'he saw little or no relief in the new rate low. government control of the roads would supply the only remedy. To show the value of his words, Patterson pre sented figures from 19 countries, showing the presence of government ownership in some form, and he saw a steadily increas ing sentiment in that direction, so far as the United States is concerned. The United States Government, Patter son said, could acquire existing railroads by condemnation proceedings under the post-road clause. He supported this con tention also by Supreme Court decisions. As to compensation, Patterson con tended: Stock and bondholders of the road ought to be paid full value for their holdings. The full value of the American roads is placed at between 11 and 12 bil lion dollars. His suggestion for financing the Government's purchase of the roads was by a mortgage, backed by Govern ment bonds, which would work out by having stock and bondholders exchange their holdings for Government bonds. He believed this exchange would be so at tractive as to secure to the Government practically all private railroad holdings. The idea that Government ownership would result In a political machine by the combination of employes, was scouted by Patterson. At the outset, he suggested, no radical change should be made in the method of management. Rates should be fixed by the Interstate Commerce Com mission, and a division of transportation should be established to conduct the ac tual operation of the roads. The reforms that would follow would be large econ omies to the freight shipper and reduction of the passenger rate one-half. It would permit of extending the postal system and establishing a postal express. Service pensions would be paid employes and new and needed lines could be built. Railway politics would be abolished and equilibrium of power between the state, the Government and the people restored. Reforms in ratemaklng by adopting the zone system as to freight classification would result. Government ownership need not, he said, prevent private construction of roads. Hansbrough reported from the commit tee on finance the House bill amending the denatured alcohol act so as to afford an opportunity to combinations of farm, ers and others to erect small independent distilleries for the sole purpose of making alcohol to be denatured. The House bill to prevent shanghaing was passed. The bill imposes a fine of $10U0 or Imprisonment for a year or both for the violating of the law. Lottery Tickets Seized. NEW YORK. Feb. 27. Customs in spectors at Hoboken, New Jersey, seized 500,003 lottery tickets Tuesday night, when, according to the officers, tbe tickets were being taken ashore by two stewards of the Hamburg American liner Kaiserin Auguste Vic toria. The tickets were to have been delivered to agents of the Hamburg Lottery Company in this city. AT.'l'KK HOTELS. The Tort land A. Rosenberg, S Roths child. New York; N. O. (Jraham. San Fran Cisco: G.

In the first placaf the expense is heavy, and they know that the inevitable treatment wil be mercury and potash, strong minerals that act with disastrous effects oft the delicate parts of the system, and which do not, after all, really cure the disease. What they want is a safe, reliable treatment that can be taken at home and a per fect cure made of this loathsome disorder without' unnecessary exposure or expense. Such, a remedy is S. S. S. it is the only medicine that goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and drives but the last trace of the poison so that there are never any signs of its return.
