SWEEPING DENIAL
General Counsel for 0. R. & N.
Says Distributive Rates
Are Just.
NO CAUSE FOR COMPLAINT
Files Statement Controverting Alle
gations Made in Suit Began by
Chamber of Commerce on
Behalf of the Jobbers.
W. W. Cotton, general counsel for the
Oregon Katlroad & Navigation Company,
filed an answer yesterday to the suit be
gun before the State Railroad Commis
sion by the Chamber of Commerce
against the road to secure lower dis
tributive rates out of Portland. The an
swer Is a general denial of the allegations
of the complaint. The Portland Chamber
of Commerce, through Its attorneys. Teal
& Minor, contends that the present dis
tributive rates are too high, and are
unreasonable. Mr. Cotton sets up in his
answer that the rates now charged are
Just and reasonable, and are less, in fact,
than the fair value of such service?.
The complaint charges that the earn
ings of the road are such as to Justify
a big reduction in rates on all merchan
dise to the territory served by Portland
Jobbers. The answer says It Is Impos
sible to segregate earnings on interstate
business and intrastate business, as well
ns to differentiate expenses of handling
business within the state and with other
states until some definite basis for cal
culating such estimates can be reached.
The railroad, therefore, denies that its
earnings on the Jobbing business out of
Portland are excessive.
Beyond admitting that the defendant
Is conducting the business of a common
carrier, and that the capital stock and
bonded Indebtedness of the O. R. & N.
Is correctly stated In the complaint. Mr.
Cotton"s answer is practically a general
and sweeping denial of the Chamber's
complaint. The answer denies that the O.
R. & N. is the owner of the Columbia
Southern Railway, or the road from
Arlington to Condon, operated as a
feeder to the O. R. & N. It Is also de
nied that a majority of the stock of the
O. R. & N. is held by the Oregon Short
Line.
Cotton's Denial Sweeping.
Denials follow each other in rapid suc
cession throughout the answer. Each
paragraph of the complaint Is taken up
and summarily disposed of by Mr. Cot
ton by asserting that it Is untrue. He
concludes by asking that the complaint
be dismissed.
The suit, which was brought by the
Chamber of Commerce July 20 last, is
the most Important action brought be
fore the Commission since Its origin, less
than a year ago.
It Is charged in the complaint that the
rates between Portland and various in
land points removed from waterways
where water competition is a factor, are
very much higher than rates on the same
classes of freight westbound from the
Eastern Jobbing centers. In support of
the contention of the attorneys for the
Chamber of Commerce, Attorneys Teal
u. Minor filed a synopsis of the annual
report of the business of the Harriman
lines for the past year, showing the
great traffic of the year on the Union
Pacific system, which Includes the O. R.
& N. A net gain of over 17 per cent
on Union Pacific common stock is shown
In this report.
It is the expressed opinion of the Cham
ber of Commerce that as the traffic of
the road Ihcreases and its profits accumu
late, it should, from time to time, make
reductions in freight charges.
The complaint, after charging that the
present rates are unjust, says:
Says Shippers Surfer.
"By reason of the premises, defendant has
been and Is subjecting the shippers,
merchants and manufacturers of the said
city of Portland and of other points and
places In the State of Oregon, as well as
the producers and consumers generally with
in said state, to the payment of excessive,
unjust, unreasonable and unlawful rates for
transportation as aforesaid and to their
great loss and damage."
It Is proposed by the complainant that
the books of the O. R. & N. be investi
gated by the Railroad Commission In
order to show the relation of cost of
handling the traffic in question to the
rates charged for that service. Alleging
a great Increase in profits, the complaint
recites:
Notwithstanding the great Increase in
surplus and the decreased cost of operation,
the charges exacted for the transportation
of merchandise and commodities of all
kinds under the distributive rates in effect
from the city of Portland to points and
places within the State of Oregon have
been but slightly reduced and have re
mained substantially the same for a num
ber of years past, and said defendant has
long maintained and does now maintain a
scale of charges calculated to return an
unreasonable, exorbitant and unjust profit
upon the capital actually invested in said
defendant's lines of railway and other
properties."
The case will be heard before the Rail
road Commission, probably In November,
after Commissioner Aitchison returns
from the East. He will leave October 1
for 'Washington, D. C.
IN THE DAYS OF '61
Battle at Camp Juckson Is Recalled
by Rev. C. E. Cllne.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 18. (To the
Editor.) The writer yesterday for the
first time In 46 years visited the old
St. Louis arsenal In the south part of
St. Louis. In May, 1861, a detail was
made from' Company "D," Seventh
RegimentIllinola Volunteers, then sta
tioned in Alton, of which the under
signed was one. to guard the bridge
of the old Indianapolis & St. Louis
Railroad over Long Lake, opposite
St. Louis, on which troops were being;
carried to reinforce Captain Lyon, then
in "charge of the arsenal. Confeder
ates were known to be organized and
In camp in Lindell's Grove, between
Olive street and Laclede avenue, at one
end of the town.
The object In placing a guard over
this bridge was to. prevent its destruc
tion by Southern eympathlsters. who
were thicker In St. Louis than the ha r
on a dog.
Captain Lyon, a brave and loyal man,
made the attack on this camp, known
as Camp Jackson, In command of Gen
eral D. M. Frost, May 10. 1861. at 3:15
P. M. Aside from the mob attacking
'.he Massachusetts regiment In passing
through Baltimore, this was the first
"scrap" of the Civil War. Frowt and
men, though blowing long and loud,
surrendered without serious resistance,
the entire command consisting of TOO
0TTN
smsw
officers and enlisted men being marched
through the city to the arsenal, amid
the greatest excitement. They were
placed In the old guardhouse in the
arsenal, which remains ae It was, to
this day. Never had its grim walls
witnessed such "cussln' and kickln";
though It was afterwards filled many
times over with the same kind of
guests. Next day Frost and his men
were released on parole. On the march
from Camp Jackson through St. Louis
a mob fired on the soldiers, killing two
of them. The fire was returned by
the troops, in which ten of the mob
were killed.
With the rebel camp were captured
three 32-pounder cannon, three mor
tars, an immense supply of shot and
shell, the latter concealed In old ale
barrels, six Held cannon, 1200 stand of
muskets, 25 kegs of powder, chests
filled with muskets and 40 cavalry
horses. All, save the latter, was taken
by stealth from the Government of the
United States. Of Company "D," raised
In. Llthchfleld, III., only Lieutenant
E. Southworth, "Jim" O'Brien, and the
writer arenow here.
A magnificent statue of red granite,
square, and 30 feet high, now stands
In the lovely park, in front of the ar
senal, the west face holding In bronze
relief the face of the immortal Lyon,
with the simple inscription underneath:
"Lyon, August 10. 1861," the date of
his death In the battle of Wilson Creek.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24. The new steamship Governor, built at Camden. N. J., for ths Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, arrived here today. She is a sister ship to the President, with the exception of a slight difference in her ma
chinery. The Governor sailed from Camdtn on August 7, and had a pleasant voyage. She will be placed in the regular

SENIORS AT PACIFIC DISRCPT
F.D OVER QUESTION'.
One Faction Wants to Abolish Cus
tom and Another, Vplield by Fac
ulty, Desires Scholastic Garb.
PACIFIC VNIVERSITY. FOREST
GKOVE, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) The
question of cap and gown is threatening
to disrupt the senior class. Following
the time-honored custom of this uni
versity one faction of the class, together
with certain members of the faculty, hold
that It would not do for the class to
be graduated without appearing In schol
astic garb. These say that the robes
lend dignity to the commencement sea
son and that a long established custom
should not lightly be thrown aside.
There Is another faction that maintains
this custom is undemocratic and should
be discarded. They say that it 1s need
less folly and expense, and that it is
time the university broke away from it.
This latter faction has obtained many
supporters among the undergraduate
body, and the outcome of the fight is
awaited with interest.
The question caused a stormy time at
the meeting for the organization of the
senlcw class, which was held behind
closed doors. The discussion grew so
warm that order was maintained with
difficulty. It was not settled, however,
and still hangs fire to come up again
at a future meeting. At the meeting
Sunday the class was organized and the
following officers elected: President,
Herbert Hayes Arnston, to succeed S. B.
Iawrence; vice-president, Esther E. Sil
verman; secretary, Gordon Clapp; treas
urer. D. I. Allen; sergeant-at-arms, S.
B. Lawrence; class poet. Frances Clapp.
The senior class has filled a prominent
place In the life of the university, both
athletically and socially, and is the
largest In the history of the school. This
was the class that gave the successful
presentation of the play "The Bridge of
th.e Gods" at the Hellg Theater in Port
land last spring. The class also holds
the Millls Cup. a trophy won on field day
In a track athletic contest.

blood vessels of man. It causes a dull, heavy, listless feeling, which is
often mistaken for nervous debility or general decline. Varicocele re
sults from partial paralysis of the delicate nerve fibers that control local
circulation of the blood. The muscular coating of the veins is deprived
of nervous control and become inactive, weakens and relaxes. The
blood vessels expand from the pressure within. The circulation be
comes sluggish and clots form in little nooks and pockets that con
stantly enlarge as the relaxation continues.

WORKING WOMEN,
WHAT THEY SHOULD KNOW
MRS.5ADIE: ABBOTT
Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing- and ambitions
that their homes shall be kept seat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking-,
sweeping, dusting- and often washing,,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for onr sympathy.
Truly the work of such a woman
is "never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there la a displacement; inflammation
or ulceration of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia B. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. It keeps the feminine organs
in a strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re
cuperating therefrom it is most effi
cient. It carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette,
Pa., writes :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
"I suffered severely with pain every
month and also a pain in my left side. My
doctor prescribed for me but did me no
good; a friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and I wrote yon in
regard to mv condition. I followed your
advice and am a perfectly well woman. The
nains have all disappeared and I cannot
recommend your medicine too highly.

There is no magic or

treatment- Just hard

along the one line I
know thoroughly
It may seem that my claim to cure the
