SENATOR WILL
E
Deal Practically Closed for the
Recharter of Popular
Coasting Vessel. .
TIME SET FOR ONE YEAR
Present Contract Expires May 15
fcteamor Advertised to Sail for
Xomf June 1, bnt Other Yes-,
scls Are Available.
While no official information has been
given out. it la understood in steamship
circles that arrangements have been
completed between the Pacific Coast
Steamship CTompany and the San Fran
cisco & Portland Steamship Company,
whereby the charter of the latter con
cern for the steamship Senator has been
extended for another year, the new
charter, to go into effect May 15. the
date on which the present charter ex
pires. The Senator has been operating on a
charter for the. Sair Francisco & Port
land ffteamship Company for the past
three months in place of the Costa Rica.
She has been advertised to .sail from Se
attie for Nome about. June 1. It would
be an easy matter, however, to place
another vessel in her place, as the Pa
cific Coast Company has a number of
ships available for the Alaska trade.
An effort was made on the part of
the. Karrlman people to purchase the
Senator, but the deal fell through, as it
was imppsible for the heads of the com
panies to agree on terms. Since the
visit to Portland of General Manager K.
P. Schwerln, new negotiations have been
entered into and the result will probably
be the purchase outright of the Senator,
or a continuance of the charter for an
other year. V
"WIREXiES.S PLACED OX ELDER
New Masie Station Installed on the
North Pacific Steamer.
Massie wireless telegraph apparatus
bail been installed on the steamship
Geo. W. Elder and on the last trip north
of that vessel the system was placed in
working order. "When outside of Eureka,
the operator on the Elder caught a num
ber of messages -which were being trans
mitted from the flagship Connecticut to
the battleship Tennessee. Both of the
latter craft were at Magdalena Bay, a
distance of 1R0O miles from the Elder.
Wilfiam J. Smith, of Providence, R. I.,
who is superintendent of wireless plants
on the Coast, placed the plant on the
Elder. Mr. Smith says that it Is one
of the heaviest on the coast. He re
cently overhauled the plant on the Roan
oke and placed heavier apparatus on
board. The original plant of the Roan
oke was too small to handle the busi
ness. The plant on the Rose City is also
one of the same system and is calculated
to transmit and receive messages from
a long distance.
With the equipping of the Elder, prac
tically all the passenger ships on the
coast are supplied, with the exception
of the Senator. That steamer will proh-,
shly be fitted with an outfit before long.
The Senator Is owned by the Pacific
Const Steamship Company, the first to
secure wireless for Its steamships.

DEMAND RAIL CONNECTION
Testify in Suit Brought to Compel
Southern Pacific to Handle
Cars Over Vnited Rail
ways Line. 7
Complainants In the suit , brought be
fore the Oregon Railroad Commission to
enforce a connection of the tracks of
the United Railways - and the Southern
Pacific, gave their side of the case yes
terday before the Commissioners In V1
Chamber of Commerce auditorium. The
Southern Pacific 'will Introduce i;ts , tes
timony next Saturday, when the bearing
will be concluded' and the matter taken
under advisement by the . Commission
ers. The suit is brought by the Multnomah
Lumber & Box Company, and others,
against the Southern Pacific Company.
About 22 manufacturers In South Port
land sign the complaint, among them
being the following: Oregon Chair Com
pany, Portland Basket & Handle Com
pany. Portland Handle & Singletree Com
pany. John Halsey Jones Company, Port
land Stove Works. Portland Shingle Com
pany, South Portland Improvement Com
pany, Jones Lumber Company, Gold
Medal Shingle Company and the Oregon
Cooperage Company.
The United Railways Company seeks
a connection with the tracks, of the Yam
hill division of the Southern Pacific Com
pany at Columbia and Water streets.
This will give a direct outlet to the ter
minal grounds In North Portland for the
Industries located along the Southern Pa
cific tracks in the south end, but-the
latter company declined to permit the
connection because the new road, it waa
contended, would not afford the Southern
Pacific any traffic and the benefits from
the concession would not be mutual.
Manufacturers on Stand.
The matter was referred to the Rail
road Commission and the first hearing
on the subject was given yesterday. A
number of S6uth Portland manufacturers
testified to the benefits to their business
that would follow the-connection of the
two systems. The testimony was all of
a similar character, the reasons the con
nection is wanted being uie more direct
route offered to the terminal grounds,
the hope of more prompt delivery of
cars than of old and the shipping of pro
ducts throughout the State of Oregon at
a less expense than the Southern Pacific
now charges. v
In order to bring freight from the South
Portland factories to the terminal
grounds at present, the cars must be
hauled via Whiteson and down the West
Side division of the Southern Pacific.
This causes delays in delivery of goods
as well as delays In supplying empty cars
for loading. At the same time a differ
ential of from 5 to 7H cents per 100
pounds Is charged by the Southern Pa
cific on shipments to all points on the
O. R. & N. west of Pocatello.
O. H. Schwerdtmann, manager of the
Oregon Box & Manufacturing Company,
was one of the witnesses who testified
to this condition of affairs. He said that
an Instance of the delay in getting cars
was shown by the fact that his company
ordered an empty car last week and ,
had to wait six days for it. The witness
said he did not believe the service would
be as good by the Willsburg cutoff, when
that 1s built by the Southern Pacific, as ,
It will be by the United Railways as of- i
fering a direct route to the terminal
grounds, for by the latter line cars could
be spotted over night.
Delays Cause Ixisses.
F. A. Douty. manager for the Mult
nomah Box & Lumber Company, was an
other witness who gave as his reasons
for wanting the connection the doing
away of a differential of 71,; cents per 100
poflnds on shipments as well as less de
lay in getting cars. He said that in the
fruit season the present delays proved
very exasperating and meant a loss of
business. His company has been in thft
habit of carting shipments to the terminal
grounds and loading them , on cars there
rather than pay the differential for the
haul around via Whiteson.
The witness said he was informed by
Freight Agent Glover, for the Southern
Pacific, at one time last year, that no
cars could be supplied his company for
shipments East, although, the firm had
built up a good business in the far East
ern States and wished to keep It. He
told of one shipment of boxes to The
Dajles from his mill that the Southern
Pacific Company defayed 14 days, thus
losing his firm any further business in
that market. This shipment, he said,
had been sent to Albany on the West
Side and from there to Portland over the
-ninin line of the Southern Pacific.
Mr. Douty told of one shipment from
his mill that lay in the East iu e yards
two weeks before being sent out. and of
another shipment of fruit boxea to a
grower in the Grand Ronde Valley that
took 17 days in transit and resulted in the
loss of the grower's crop. Mr. Douty
said his company narrowly escaped a
damage suit as'a result.
Rates Xot Equal.
The witness also told of discriminatory
rates from South Portland to Hillshoro
APPENDICITIS
Grape-Nuta aa a RecoastrnctlaK Food.
The number of cases of appendicitis
which get well by proper feeding; and
nursing:, is not leas remarkable - than
the number of, cases which were for
merly operated on only to find that the
operation was unnecessary.
While Iookina: for the cause of this
disease, it is well to remember that ex
cessive starch fermentation may be
considered a frequent cause, and that
suRKests more care in the use of
Btarchy foodsv
Grape-Xuts can be retained on the
most sensitive stomach and is extreme
ly nourishing just the ideal food for
appendicitis cases.
'J.ast Spring I was talcen ill with
appendicitis." writes an Ind. man.
"The doctor told me not to be alarmed,
for he would do the best he could to
save me from the operating table.
"He advised me to eat nothing for
two weeks, during which time I be
came so weak I could hardlv move.
The trouble began to leave me and I
hejran to eat fruits and milk, but I
did not regain the strength I had be
fore I was sick.
"A friend of mine recommended
Grape-Nuts. I tried it and it worked
wonders with me. I soon began to
gain in strength, and in a month was
as strong as ever.
"I don t think I ever used a food that
did me so much good. I now weigh 160
lbs., as against 13( before I was sick,
all due to Grape-Nuts and regular ex
ercise. "My muscles are like iron and I can

and Forest G-rbve. The rate on boxes
was formerly 10 cents from South Port
land to those points and 6i cents from
the terminal yards. An appeal was made
to the Southern Pacific and the 10-cent
rate waa lowered to 8 cents, still leaving
a margin in favor of manufacturers who
had access to the terminal yards and
against' the South Portland mills.
F. A. Sullivan, of the Portland Lumber
Company, whose mill stands at the foot
of Lincoln street, was another witness
who testified to substantially the same
things. He said frls company was not
able to ship to Great Northern or North
ern Pacific territory because of the lack
of terminal connections. Another thing
that hinders the South Portland mills is
the limiting of car loading to 80.000
pounds, the limit loading on all branch
lines. This would be done away with if
the desired connection were secured.
W. L Benham. president of the United
Railways, testified briefly as to the lo
cation of the different plants involved in
the suit. L. R. Fields, superintendent of
the Southern Pacirtc, and C. A. Mal
beouf. district freight agent, were pres
ent and will testify Saturday. R. A.

for the United Railways, represented the

AHDSEN VISITS Gin
ARCTIC EXPLORER STOPS OX
WAY TO SOUXD.
First Man to Make the Xorthwest
Passage Will Return to Lec
ture In Portland.
One of the noted Arctic explorers of
the world. Captain Roald Amundsen, waa
in Portland yesterday and was enter
tained by Bndre M. Cederbergh, Vice
Consul of Sweden and Norway, and by
officers of the Scandinavian societies of
Portland. He was also met by Dr. David
Walker, who was a member of the Mc
Olintock Arctic expedition in 1S59.
Captain Amundsen has the distinction
of being the first man who made the
Northwest passage, having completed the
trip last year in the sloop Gjoa. now
lying at Mare Island, Cal.. navy-yard.
The Captain also has the distinction, ac
cording to Dr. Walker, of being the third
man to reach the magnetic pole, which
is in 70 degrees north latitude. He is the
first scientist who made extensive ob
servations in that latitude, and is the
first to prove the existence of the North
west passage.
The first record made on the 70-degree
line was by Ross In 1S29. and the mag
netic pole was again reached in 1839 bv
McClintock. Captain Amundsen was the
third, and his expedition was backed by
subscriptions of people interested in ex
plorations, and by the government of his
country. He sailed from his home shores
and spent the Winter of 1905-08 in the
frozen North, not with the. idea of reach
ing the North Pole, but simply and
purely to make scientific observations.
"He left with the intention." said Dr.
Walker yesterday, "of following the cur
rents which moved the ice pack to which
lie bad fastened his sloop, and if those
currents brought his vessel to the North
Pole, well and good. He would say
'hello' to the Scotchman sure to be
found there, and would keep on going."
Captain Amudsen causht the 2 o'clock
train for Tacoma from the Portland
Hotel in record time. At ten minutes

good-byes to friends In the hotel lobbv.

REDUCING HCP ACREAGE
Advises All Growers to Only Grow
One-Quarter Crop.
MT. VERNOX, Wash.,, March 17. (To
the Editor.) I wish to discuss the topic
of plowing up or reduction of the hop
acreage. To my mind, there should be
no question about the expediency, for,
as Grover Cleveland would say, "It is a
condition, not a .eory, that confronts
us."
Reduction of acreage is the only way
to harmonize the difference between
the production of something like 400.000
bales to meet a consumptive requirement
of 240.000 bales in this country. As John
Sherman said about resumption of specie
payment, "The way to resume tt is to re
sume." So, the way to reduce, is to
reduce, no matter what Brewer Busch
or Grower Bush many say about it. "B.
B." recently Intimated that there was
a ray of hope for the "deplorable con
dition of the poor fellows' in this coun
try, because England was going to plow
up ever so many thousands of acres of
hop, while 'G. B." keeps a stiff upper
lip and says the farmers are amply able
to "finance" the crop.
Yes, possibly the farmer engaged in
-mixed husbandry has made enough on
the other products to cover his losses on
hops, but is tt wise to "throw good money
after bfld?" There may be sinister mo
tives behind "B. B.'s' expressions of
sympathy and hope, while I fear that "G.
B." Is merely. "four-flushing," which all
concede to be a very unsafe game to play.
Great is the folly of those wise men in
Puyallup, Yakima, Willamette Valley and
fllsewhere who continue to use land in
hops at a loss, that is easily worth IfiOO
an acre for garden and orchard purposes.
And the folly-Is more apparent when one
reads of growing orchards selling about
there for $1000 an acre. Is it not like
"living in a fool's paradise" to continue
to wait for remunerative prices that may
not come for years?
No. Let not the growers of this
country trust to England and Germany
cutting down, but proceed at once under
the dictates of prudence to put our own
house in order. We are the offending
prodigal, always raising a surplus and
trusting to foreign markets, not England or
Germany, who merely raise about enough
to meet domestic requirement. Let every
grower contribute to the reduction say
to the extent of a quarter of his acre
Age not waiting for the approval or
coercion of his neighbor at home or
abroad.
I have, myself, plowed up about a quar
ter of my own patch, and put it In oats.
