TUG M'CRAKEN IN SERVICE Captain Groves to Represent Port of Portland Soundings to Begin at Astoria Trip Has Been De layed ' Ser-eral Weeks. Member of the Association of Co lumbla River Pilots left last night for Astoria on the Port of Portland tende John McCraken. The pilots will pro ceed direct to Astoria, and from that point will start toward Portland, male In soundings on all shoals between Astoria and Portland. The Port of Potrland will be represented by Captain Groves. Superintendent of Dredges. For several weeks the pilots have been trying to get away from business long enough to make soundings on the shoals. The steamer G. H. Mendell, of the United States Engineers, has been engaged for the service, but later it was found necessary by the Govern menfr to utilize the craft for official surveys. The pilots then secured the Port of Portland boat, and they left down late yesterday afternoon. On arrival at Astoria the McCraken will start back with as many pilots on board as can be spared from duty. Only the shallowest places in the river will be sounded, and on the findings the Government and the Port of Portland will be asked to dredge out the chan nel. Captain Harry Emken, of the Pilots' Association, will act as com mander of the McCraken. CARRY BIG CARGO OF FLOCR Steamship Alesla Will Take About 50, 000 Barrels to Orient.

HARRIMAN CHIEF VISITS TILLAMOOK Julius Kruttschnitt Will Inspect Survey of So-Called "Lytle Line." ROAD'S FATE IN BALANCE Immediate Construction or Further Delay Depends on Decision Reached After Auto Trip Begun In Secret. Bent on a trip through the Tilla mook country to see if the so-called "Lytle road" is worth while, Julius Kruttschnitt left the city in his private car Tuesday night for McMlnnvllle, where he left the railroad and took an automobile over the mountains to Til lamook Bay. With Mr, Kruttschnitt is W. W. Cotton, chief counsel for the allied lines in this territory, and E. E. Lytle, president of the Pacific Railway & Navigation Company, the H'arriman project Into the Tillamook wilds from Hlllsboro. ,rln fc a m hoen Veiled in COttSid- erable mystery, the local Harlman of fices not being advised oi ine aenwia. t ih. trio nor when the three will return. Mr. Kruttschnltt's car was ordered from McMlnnvllle to forest Grove yesterday, where it will await ik.t nfrii, Vm Totiim. The rjartv will go in to the Coast over the Grand Ronde road to TlllamooK, ana, alter a survey of the partly-completed opera tions on tne nuamooK line i iimi chj, h. ..turn will he made over the Wil- son River road to Forest Grove, and then a trip will do tanen over me cum niteri Koriinn of the line between Hlllsboro and Buxton. Much Depends on Decision. The personal examination of the project by Mr. Kruttschnitt -may mean the early completion of the line, work on which was stopped when the finan- ial stringency occurred last Fall, and all Harrlman construction in this state was abandoned. And, again, his trip may signal the abandonment of the work, at any rate for this season, which is now so far advanced that it might be thought not worth while for construction forces to be assembled and set to work, in view of the short season of good weather that may be expected before the Winter rains set in. Whichever way the cat may lump, mere is no denying that Mr. Kruttschnltt's Jaunt over the Coast Mountains Into the Tillamook country has much to do with the destiny of the so-called "Lytle road." Mr. Kruttschnitt, while having the title of director of maintenance and operation for all the Harrlman mileage. is really more than that, lor ne is a scout in whom Harriman himself has great deal of confidence. His recom mendations as to where or where not to lay a new track are usually adopted by the "Wirard of the Pacifies," and the present Instance will doubtless prove no exception to this rule. Busy Visit In Portland. During his stay in Portland Mr. Kruttschnitt has put in an exceedingly busy time. H has been on the go all the time and it has kept the local offi cials of the Harrlman interests on the jump to . keep up with him. Tuesday he looked over the East side warehouse district, taking along with him a num ber of men In authority in the Wells Fargo building offices. There were numerous wilted collars when the ex pedition re-crossed the bridge Into town. In the offices, Mr. Kruttschnitt is a no less indefatigable worker. He con sumes stacks of correspondence and of ficial files with avidity. Many a fagged clerk in the headquarters build ing will learn of his departure from the city for a few days with genuine relief, for the search for documents and the hurrying of files and maps to Mr. Kruttschnltt's desk during his few days' stay here has quite exhausted them. Whether the great fir forests of the Coast Mountains will discourage Mr. Kruttschnitt in recommending the construction of the Tillamook line, as the Eastern Oregon plains. Inhabited only by chipmunks, did Mr. Harriman himself last Summer, remains to be seen. The Immense tonnage to be de rived from the fir forests, however. may have the effect of encouraging the speedy completion of the partly finished railroad to Tillamook. FASTER SCHEDCLE TO ST. PAUL New Road Will Probably Save Port- landers Eight Hours. With the completion of the North Bank road it is expected the Northern Pacific will be able to cut the time from this city to St. Paul by at least eight hours. The crack fast train of the Northern pacific, f he North Coast Limited, will, in all probability, be made up at Pasco instead of on the Sound, routing the Portland cars of this train over the North Bank road directly to Pasco and thence East from Portland. Definite announcements have not been made by the Hill officials, for the matter is still under advisement, but this appears to be the logical adjust ment of traffic that will be made. In stead of Portland passengers to the East being hauled around by Puget Sound, which Is a trip involving hours they may be routed direct to Pasco over the North Bank line and thence on to St. Paul. The North . Coast Limited leaves Portland dally at 2 P. The pro posed arrangement would permit the Portland part of the train, consisting of a number of Pullmans, to pull out of the Union Depot at 10 or 11 at night and still catch the same train at Pasco. t would mean a sheer saving of about eight hours, which is a big thing to every traveler. But the train leaving the city dally at 2 P. M. for Puget Sound could not well be abandoned, for there is heavy travel to the Sound cities on this train and it would probably be necessary for the railroad company to continue this train in serwice on that account. NEW SAFETY DEVICE SUCCESS Invention of Portland Men Aux iliary to Block System. That Implicit dependence cannot be placed on block signals for the safe operation of trains, and that additional afeguards are needed to provide for the lapses of memory that sometimes occur to trainmen is the belief of J. Shannon and W. E. Wood, both Port land men, who have perfected an au tomatic saftty device that prevents trains from running past a semaphore indicating a closed block. When a train enters a block on a track equipped with the new device, the remaphores drop, indicating the ap proach of a train and at the same time the new appliance automatically raises a spring Inside the rail. Should the engineer fail to see the semaphore set against him and neglect to stop his train, this spring trips an attachment set under the locomotive, setting the airbrakes on the whole train. The new device seemingly prevents all danger of accident from running past a warning semaphore, and prelim inary tests at Graham, an O. R. & N. station Just outside the city, seem to prove the merits of the invention claimed for it by the patentees. During the present session of the general superintendents of the Harri man system, the apparatus will be tried out. Engine No. 23 of the O. R. & N. has been fitted with the device and experiments will be tried during the week at Graham to determine the fitness of the invention ffcr adoption as a standard by the superintendents on all the Harriman lines. STOP USE OF GROOVED RAILS Street Railway Company Finds Tliey Cause Derailments. Grooved rail on the narrow gauge lines of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company will be given up by degrees. As the streets are relaid with rails the T rail will be put down. Fur thermore, hereafter the streetcar cor poration will not pave the entise dis tance between its rails with Belgian blocks laid in cement, as formerly when putting down a new line of streetcar track, but will lay vitrified brick or stone blocks along the rails only, and the middle of the tracks and the space between double tracks will be paved with the same material that is used in the remainder of the street. "Over 200 derailments a month are caused on our narrow gauge lines through the use of grooved rails, de clared President Josselyn yesterday. "The groove admits only a short flange and these flanges are constant ly breaking, causing derailments. We would be forced to use steel wheels Instead of the castiron kind if we con tinued to lay grooved rails and steel wheels cost three times as much. Any one who will take the pains to look at the Holladay-avenue line, which is laid with a T rail, will find a better track than any in the city laid with a grooved rail. "We are required by ordinance to put in only a 50-pound rail on our city lines, and it Is impossible to get a satisfactory grooved ' rail of that weight. "Furthermore, we have been spend ing too much money on street im provements. We have spent over $500, 000 already this season in laying new track and Belgian blocks between the rails and on both sides of the track. We could have built twice as much track had we done only what is re quired of us by . the city ordinance, that is, pave only along the side of each rail with a header of stone or brick, and out the usual paving ma terial between the rails." Visit Cazadero Power Plant. Charles Selden, wife and daughter, of Baltimore, ana George Kinsman and daughter, of Decatur, 111., were the guests of President Benage S. Josselyn, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company Tuesday for a trip over the O. W. P. lines to Cazadero. where they saw the power station and large numbers of salmon trying to leap over the power dam. Mr. Selden is superintendent of telegraph for the Baltimore & Ohio, and Mr. Kinsman is superintendent of telegraph for the Wabash system. Both are old friends of Mr. Josselyn, and both expressed themselves as being delighted with the country. Mr. Kinsman was so im pressed with Oregon that he has pur chased a fruit farm here. O'Brien to Return Sunday. General Manager O'Brien, of the Har riman lines in this territory, will re turn to Portland 'Sunday night, accord ing to advices received here from him yesterday. He will leave Pelican Bay, where he has -held conferences with E. H. Harrlman for the past two days, to morrow and is expected to come out to the main line of the Southern Pacific at Weed and come north on the train. It is not know whether Mr. Harriman will accompany him north or whether Governor Chamberlain will come back to Portland at the same time. Buckley Entertains Superintendents. General superintendents of the Har riman lines now holding a family meet ing at Portland, were the guests at luncheon yesterday at the Commercial Club, M. J. Buckley, general superin tendent of the Harriman lines in this territory, being the host. The super intendents will continue in session to day and will probably close their ses sions tonight or tomorrow. A large amount of routine business of a techni cal nature is being transacted.

Swollen glands about the neck, weak eyes, pale, waxy complexions, running sores and ulcers, skin diseases, and general poor health, are the usual ways in which Scrofula is manifested. The disease being deeply intrenched in the blood often attacks the bones, resulting in White Swelling, or hip disease, and the scrofulous and tubercular matter so thoroughly destroys the healthful properties of the blood that Scrofula sometimes terminates in consumption, an incurable disease. The entire circulation being contaminated, the only way to cure the trouble i3 to thoroughly purify the blood and restore the circulation to a strong, healthy state. S. S.

COUNCILMEN ARE SOUNDED Southern Pacific Preparing to Ask Extension From November 13, Date Set by Council for Removal of Tracks. That the Southern Pacific Company offi cials will seek a further extension of time in which to operate over its Fourth-street line, became apparent yesterday, when it was learned that some members of the City Council have been approached as to what attitude they will assume If the re quest is made. The limit is now fixed at November 13, 1908, at the expiration of which it is the present understanding that the tracks are to be removed. It is said that the railroad officials wish further time on account of the fact that the extension on the Oswego branch, in cluding a big bridge across the Willam ette, was stopped when the financial de pression came on, and has not been re sumed. This, it is said, necessitates a change in the company's plans, and it is almost certain that the corporation offi cials will soon lay before the City Coun cil a petition for an extension of time. Counciimen assert that they have done all they can, under the law, in fixing the time limit at November 13, and they state that when that date arrives it will be come the duty of Mayor Lane to enforce the law and eject the company by what- I ever procedure may be necessary to carry out the order. When asked regarding the matter yesterday, Mayor Lane said: 'It is absolutely for the Council to say when the Southern Pacific Company shall remove its tracks from Fourth street. The franchise in this case is the best one as protecting the city's Interests and for regulating the company's service that I have seen. It Is within the power of the Council to say that one train a day, trav eling at one mile an hour, shall be run over the road, or that 20 trains a day, running at 60 miles an hour, shall be operated. "It Is up to the Council to terminate the operations of the road on Fourth street at any time, under the terms of the franchise, and they could have stopped it long ago had they so desired. After the date set by the Council for the cessation of operation on the line, I sup- pose it will be my duty to see that the company vacates, which I will cheerfully do, if the law requires me to do so. MURDERED IN AUSTRALIA Rev. Harold Robinson, Formerly of Hlllsboro Victim of Maniac. News has Just been received from Melbourne, Australia, of the death of Rev. Harold Robinson, who was shot on the veranda of his own home by a man named Plncombe, a miner, who is claimed to be of unsound mind, and who had a bitter hatred of all who taught religion. Mr. Robinson was a brother of the Rev. Albert Robinson, Presbyterian minister of Hillsboro, Or. Five years ago he left Australia and came with his wife to Oregon and for several months visited with his brother In Hillsboro. During this time he be came a member of the Tualatin Plains Presbyterian church, Of which his brother was pastor. During his stay in Oregon he resolved to enter the Gospel ministry. He became acquainted and made many friends in and around Hlllsboro. Sometimes he preached and supplied appointments for his brother. In May, 1904, he returned witn nis wife to Australia and immediately en tered the active work of the ministry. At the time of his death he was pastor of the church in Blackwood, an out lying town from Melbourne. He occu pied a house next to the church. On the fatal day, a little while after noon, while walking on the veranda, read ing a book, the assassin fired from ambush and the bullet passed through Mr. Robinson's heart, causing almost Instant death. His wife rushed to his side only to hear him murmur her name as he expired. The murderer had threatened and showed continued dislike to many peo ple and he was commonly feared. To a clergyman (Rev. Mr. Collins) he wrote a letter challenging him to fight a duel. The letter was handed to the police but no action was taken. When the murderer was arrested his house was found to be a regular arsenal, three rifles, two fully-loaded revolvers and a large quantity of ammunition were found on the premises. Mr. Robinson came of a clerical fam ily in England. His father was the late Rev.
