THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 190T. BUILD LINES LATER Reported That Hill Will Not Construct Branches Now. LEVEY BLAMES NEW LAWS Says Astoria & Columbia Will Re main as at Present I'ntll It ' Becomes a Part of Portland & Seattle System. ASTORIA. Or.. March 13. (Special.) Neither the proposed extension of the As toria & Columbia River Railroad to Till mook nor the projected beach line front AVarrenton to Seaside will be built In- the Immediate future. This is the announce ment made here this afternoon by C. M. I.evey. vice-president of the Northern Pa 'cirtc Railway Company, and presonal rep resentative of James J. Hill. Mr. Ievey spent a few hours in Astoria this afternoon and left on a special train for Tacoma. Judging from his remarks, us well as from other Indications, his visit was simply an Inspection trip, as he has been over the road several times recently, and is keeping thoroughly con versant with local conditions. Mr. Ievey spoke freely when questioned regarding the improvements projected by his company, but the burden of his re marks was a criticism of the action of President Roosevelt in stirring up a senti ment against the railroads of the coun try. The President's action, he said, had resulted in the Legislatures of nearly all Western states passing hostile laws. Mr. Ievey admitted these laws may perhaps be Just and proper, but said they had already stopped practically all railroad building that was projected in the West, as it is now difficult for the railroad com panies to borrow money, as capital Is always timid when it cannot foresee what the future may bring. Asked directly what effect the purchase of the Astoria & Columbia River Rail road by Mr. Hill would have on the local situation. Mr. "Levey said so far as he knew there would be no change at pres ent, but that such matters as the ship ping of wheat were not in his jurisdic tion. Continuing, he said that neither the extension of the road to Tillamook nor the line along the beach from War renton to Seaside will be built at present. Generally speaking, he said, the road will remain practically as at present, at least until it becomes a part of the Portland & Seattle branch of the Northern Pacitic. In connection .with the statement that the system will not engage in any new construction work at present, 'Mr. Levey aid there'wlll be nothing done this year toward the construction of the proposed road down the north bank of the Colum bia to Gray's Bay. although the surveys have been completed and much of the right-of-way purchased. Ho added, how ever, that within another year or two the road may be built, in order to bring out the timber from the adjacent district. PLACK BOYCOTT OX O. It. & X. Garfield Citizens "Would Compel Company to Build Bridge. GARFIELD. Wash., March 13. (Spe cial.) The citizens or Garfield have entered Into the following agreement: "That, whereas. The Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company has ignored our pe tition for a bridge across Silver Creek on the company's property near the O. R. & N. depot, so that teams may cross over into the south part of town, therefore. Resolved, That from this date, we, the undersigned business men and farmers of Garileld and. vicinity, will patronize the Northern Pacitic and the Spokane & Inland roads in doing our shipping to and from Spokane, Portland, Seattle and way stutions." The people of Garfield last month asked the O. R. & N., which owns the land, to build a bridge, as the old one is not safe, and draymen have refused to cross it- The company refused this re quest. The citizens would build the bridge, which would not cost more than t'M, if the company would dedicate part or tne street owned by it to the town. This the company also refuses to do. Kor this . reason the business men and farmers have decided that the company must comply with their wishes, which they assert are just, or else forfeit the commercial and farm ins trade of Garfield and vicinity. ill ltXS TO DKATH WHILE ALOXE MghU'Iothes of 3-Year-Old Boy Catch Klre.

Wash.. March 13. (Special.) Hold in the County Jail without bail, pending an examination as to his sanity, Morris Williams this afternoon confessed that last night at 11 o'clock he set fire to the bedding in two vacant rooms at the West Side Hotel, on apartment building occupied by 13 families. The fire was discovered shortly after the prisoner, who is but J ti years old, was heard walking about tho" halls of the building. Chief of Police Miller, who lives in the same building, aided the proprie tor of the hotel, T. A. Davis, in throw ing the burning bedding from the win flow to the yard below, where it smoth ered. Two hours later it was failed Into flame by a strong wind, and the glare on the windows awakened many of the women residing at the hotel and threw them into a panic. Their screams aroused the neighborhood, and someone turned in an alarm. The de partment quickly responded and after the blaze had been put out an inves tigation was commenced which ended in the lad's arrest. The boy is the son of John "Williams, a well-known .Wenas Valley farmer whose house burned last liecember. At that time suspicion rested on the lad, but no action was taken. Since - then he has repeatedly told his family that he was going to die a horrible death, and thp.t when he went they could so with him. XO SENSATION' IS SPRING. Expected Developments Before, tlie Grand Jury Do Not Appear. BOISE. Idaho. March 13. (Special.) The United States grand jury is proceeding with its work with no sign of anything sensational. It has five witnesses before it today. They were Mrs. Justice. Guy Wilson and Ray Robinson, all of Lewis ton. Inspectors Goodwin and O'Pallon. The last two occupied the attention of the jury this afternoon. The first three named testified in the Lewlston cases when the first hearing was held and the general supposition is that the Government is following up some branch of the cases then opened up, but on that point there Is no definite infor mation. Assurance is given that there was nothing sensational in the line of in vestigation being followed. It is signifi cant, however, that all connected with the Investigation are absolutely noncommit tal, which Is rather unusual. No other witnesses have arrived from the north, and there seems to be some uncertainty about others coming. Colonel A. R. Greene, the inspector who had been in this vicinity for some weeks, left for Washington last night. It had been thought that he had something to spring that would bear out the rumors that sen sations were to be developed. ROADS MUST FILE SCHEDULES To Keach Commission Ten Days Be fore Taking Effect.

Empire Mill May Reopen. MARSHPIELD. Or.. March 13. (Spe cial.) What is taken as a sure Indica tion, that Elijah Smith Intends to again operate his large lumber mill in Empire is the fact that he has had the Arago Hotel reopened. This hotel has been idle since the closing down of the lumber mill some years ago. It is the only hostelry in Elijah Smith's little city and is owned by the Southern Oregon Land Company. Workmen have been busy for several days repairing the machinery In the mill. This has brought speculators to the scene and real estate values have in creased. Fails to Raise Appropriation.

(Special.) Two Important ends of a story tied together are playing a very important part in the investigation of the Mid-Oregon Rail road Company and its affairs by the State Railroad Commission. Through its president, Wallis Nash, a preliminary re port was filed today, stating that the company was incorporated February 21, 1906, with capital stock of $500,000, for the construction of a railroad from Port land southward to tho Cascades. Ha states that the company was not able to carry out its plans and nothing but a preliminary organization was effected. Back of this comes the report of the sale to the Harriman interests of tho Corvallis & Eastern Railroad by H. E. Huntington, after Nash and H. S. "Wal lace had been authorized by the Co operative Christian Federation to go to New York to buy the road. This sale, manipulated through Harri man's agents at Chicago, who shadowed Wallace and Nash, has frustrated the plans of the federation in going ahead with the work on the Mid-Oregon road, which connects with the Corvallis & Eastern and goes directly through the district which is being colonized by the federation. The Commission will make a thorough investigation of the entire matter. CANNOT COLLECT POLLTAX. Attorney-General Passes on Validity of Procedure. SALEM, Or., March 13. (Special.) Attorney-General Crawford filed his opinion in the validity of the polltax collection today with District Attorney John H, McNary upon a request from the latter. House bill 325, which pased the last Legislature, repealed sections 3041 and 3142 of Bellinger & Cotton's code, which abolishes, the $1 polltax law of 1S54 and amended in 1870 to exempt firemen from the polltax roll. The act of 1885 and subsequent amendatory acts providing for the state revenues cover tne entire ground of the section enacted in 1S54, providing that state revenues shall be 5 mills on the dollar of all taxable prop erty and in addition to the $1 polltax. The Attorney-General holds that after the repealing act goeB into effect on May 2r the polltax cannot be legally collected; that the assessment would not have the validity of a judgment until it is entered on tile roll. As the roll would not be made up before the act takes effect, the Assessor would have no further authority to collect the tax or make up the. roll. and that there is no authority in future for Sheriffs to collect the tax.

Calls Attention of Fruit Inspector to Infected Districts In tho -Suburbs. if' The Russellville granite protests against allowing: infected fruit trees to stand on vacant tracts In the Russell ville, Mt. Tabor and Montavllla dis tricts. The following resolution was adopted by the Grange at the last meeting: "Whereas, Numerous old neglected tree. are Kept fltandlng " on vacant ' lot, etc. around RuHe!lvllle. Montavllla and Mt. Ta bor. . constantly breedinR scale and other . peeti to tne annoyance and detriment of all f ruit-rafserB who npray and care for their trees. Therefore, be It - Reeolved. That we, the members oC Rus sellville Grange, hereby call upon the Fruit ommlssloners and Inspector of this Dls triot to destroy said trees, and all other in- rected -unsprayed trees, without further de lay, or else refrain from coal-oiling apples that have been Infected from said neglect ed trees. Be it further Resolved. That' we can see no .iustlce In allowing trees' on the Ladd farm, and on lots, held for speculation, to be and remain breeding places for pests for honest horti culturists to fight. Richard Deich, County Fruit Inspec tor, was interviewed last night con cerning "the above resolutions, and said the contention of the Grange was right and just. He said he was work ing out toward the Mt. Tabor, Monta vllla.. and .Russellville neighborhoods, and will give infected trees in those places his attention. He said his progress was necessarily slow, as it was his duty to notify own ers of unplatted tracts, additions and single lots, of the Infected condition of trees on their Tands. and in misty cases lots and tracks having infected trees upon them, were owned by non-residents, who were slow about replying. Mr. Deich said he was proceeding according to law, and would do his ut most to reach the . Infected districts which are subjects of the Grange's complaint, as soon as possible.
