BUILD ROAD SOON O'Brien Forwards Estimates on Central Oregon Line. EXPECTS EARLY APPROVAL First Link or Line lp Destitutes Will Cost $1,000,000 and Con struction May Start by Firt of the Year. General Manager O'Brien, of the Harri man line in the Pacific Northwest, has forwarded wttmatee for the construction of the first section of the Central Oregon line up the Deschutes River, from a con nection with the O. R. X. at luj mouth. 1'rotlle of the new line and the probable com were, sent forward to the Chicago headquarter of the Harriman system during the past week. The estimate call for tile expenditure ,f J4.rtv.0rt fr building the first I'D miles of tiie Deschutes line. Thai will construct the road as far south as Madras, tapping t:e big Central Oregon plain that ts ex pected to furnish a vwt traffic during the coming few years. "1 think early approval of the plans for the Central thvgon line may be expected." said Genera) Manager O'Brien. "This will mean the early iHClnnlng on the road into the interior pf the state, following up th Iieschutes River canyon from Its mouth. Aa soon as survey and figures -an he prepared for the construction of the line scuth from Madras, they will be forwarded for approval of the Chicago officials of the eystem." The line to Madras, the first unit of the Central Oregon line, will drain the Kg Interior plains on both aides of the JVschutes canyon of their wheat, cattle and other products. Practical grades l'av been found for the proposed line, and construction wilt be unusually diffi cult. From Madrao. the road will be built south to Rend, opening up the new Irriga tion district surrounding that place, and reaching the whole Kastern elope of the Cis.-ades t the center of the state, the district that has waited so long for trans portation facilities. The early approval of the estimates just sont forward will mean that construction forces will be assembled and work start ed within the next few weeks. Plans are already be-ng made by the engineering department ofthe Harriman lines for be ginning on the tVntral Oregon line, and by the op-nlng of the new year It is ex pected operation will be under way. The country and climate are such that work can be prosecuted throughout the Win ter months. SAYS OFFICER WAS CRUEL Woman Objects to Manner of Ar rotinc Drunken Husband. After having asked the police to pro tect her from her drunken husband, who was smashing the furniture and threatening her with all manner of dire ra'.amity. Mrs. Herman Olson, of 744 Thurman street, visited the police sta tion vesterday forenoon to protest at he vigorous methods used by Patrolman McCulloch in subduing the head of the Olson household. She said the officer knocked her husband down and gave him a severe beating. She wanted charges preferred against the patrolman. Admitting that he handled Olson In a way that was not exactly gentle, the of ficer explained that no other course was practicable. Mrs. Olson called him In to try to pacify the man. he reported, and he approached the house to hear the fur niture being slammed about and broken. The moment he got Inside. Olson forgot all about his ambition to wreck the house and proceeded at once to render the Police Department a trifle short handed. McCulloch brought his club to play and Olson surrendered. Olson was taken to the City Jail and locked up on a charge of disorderly conduct In addi tion to the charge of drunkenness. This occurred Monday night and Mrs. Olson was tl'ulte satisfied with the dis position made of her husband until the hour of his trial In the Municipal Court arrived yesterday morning. Then she re fused to testify against him. but on the testimony of the officer Olson was found guilty and fined $10. Indignant that her husband had been deprived of so large a sum. Mrs. Olson began her protests at the manner In which Olson had been clubbed before his arrest. City Physi cian Ziegler was called to examine Ol sons scalp and he found one slight abra sion, but nothing more. The woman's complaint was pressed no further. REVIEW TRADE TRIP STRIKE BLOW AT BRILLS OPPOXF.NTS OF CELLARS LAW WOULD KEFfsE LICENSE. Enemies of Womcn-in-Saloons Ordi nance Threaten to Take Stops for Its Hcpeal. ' The deadlock In the City Council rela tive to ten applications for licenses to dispense liquor with meals In downtown restaurants and grills still continues. An effort was made at the adjourned Council session yesterday morning- to dispose of the matter some way. but It resulted in failure. The Councllmen who opposed the Cellars antl-women-ln-saoons ordinance refuse to vote for any of the licenses, with a few excep tions, and some who favored the Cellars law refuse to sign the applications, be cause they feel that the licenses should be increased. City Auditor Barbur, acting upon the advice of City Attorney Kavanaugh. will ask Chief of Police Grltxmacher to enforce the law in regard to the sale of liquor tn restaurants, which means that all establishments not possessing licenses will have to stop serving: liquor with meals. Included In the number a the Hotel Portland grill, the Ore gon and Perkins grills, the Hof Rrau. the Quelle, the Louvre and Turn Halle. The Cellars law la still in force, and Is the cause of much bitterness In the Council. That further efforts .will be made to destroy Its usefulness is be lieved by those who have followed the actions of the Council since the pas sage of the ordinance. There Is some talk of attempting to repeal the measure. MEN'S W00L COATS $1.

PORTS OPEN TO AMERICA Visitors to Orient Speak in Highest Terms of Kntert.nmcnt Ac corded Them by Govern ment of Island. That the feeling for the people of the United States Is most friendly In Japan and that the relations between this coun try and the land of the Mikado should continue to be amicable is the opinion of delegates frona the Pacific Coast commer cial organizations who participated In the recent commercial excursion to the prin cipal ports of Japan. The delegates have made a preliminary report to the various commercial bodies of the Pacific Coast represented on the excursion and Secre tary Giltner of the Portland Ch'amber of Commerce received a copy of this report yesterday. Want Stronger Trade Relations. The visitors to Japan speak In highest terms of their entertainment abroad and of the character and accomplishments of the Japanese people. They desire to muinialn the peaceful relations between tne two countries and to increase their mutual commercial interests. Before leav ing Japan, the delegation from the Pa cific Coast adopted resolutions thanking the Japanese heartily for the receptions everywhere accorded them and for the friendship manifested by the people of th Mikado's Empire. The report says the entertainment offered by the Japanese government and the Chambers of Commerce of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama and Kobe partook of the nature of an ovation and the Japanese spared no attention or ex pense to show the country to the visitors in a way never before undertaken. The report In part follows: lext of the Report. Their earnestness and enthusiasm became contagious, and the Japanese people, with out reward to rank. vhI with each other that the Commissioners from the Pacific Coast miffht know and feel that Japan :s th sincere friend of the I'nlted States. It would b absurd and wrong;, aftr the mani festations of affection which w-ere accorded us by ths Japanese people, to question the sincerity of their friendship. Every mem ber of the Commission realized that It was not the Commissioners whom the Japanese sought to compliment, but that through them they were st-eklnr to rear-h the hearts of the people of the United States. Before vltittnjr the Empire of Japan none of us had the slightest conception of the sentiments which the people of that coun try bear to the people of the United States. Commodore Perry's memory is as much re vered as that of almost any patriot who has ever died for Japan. The people of that country feel that the Cnltert States has dealt fairly with them and has given them advice which was not In anv way tlnjwd br s1nsh interest. They declare that the moral support of the American people and our sympathy during the war with Russia assured them that tlKy would be success ful. Thev constantly spoke of the friendship manifested by our country when President Roosevelt suggested that hostilities between Japan and Russia should cease and an honorable peace be concluded. In Japan we found many thtngs that were crude and many of theee were pointed out to us by the Japanese themselves. Through as they sought a remedy and we were In vited hv them to criticise whatever, in our judgment, appeared wrong, and for us to suggest reformation. Great Progress of People. Bearing in mind that only 55 years ago Japan was a hermit nation and that today she Is a world power, realizing to what ex tent thev have developed thir natural re sources and. through their Emperor, changed their form of government, established edu cational institutions and performed a work more gigantic than has before been under taken bv any other people, we deem any such criticism at this time improper There is no mistaking the onward and upward trend of commerce, manufacturing and education in Japan. She has within her the eUsments of a very high civilization and her people are not blind to these factors. The commerce of Japan has had a rapidity of growth unequalled by any other modern nation. Th-e Japanese build, man and navi gate their own ships and they have built ships which seem equal to the best that plv the Pacinc Ocean Many of their manufacturing plants are on a large scale .and arvi in conformity with the latest models of either Germany, Eng land or the t'nited States. While we found the wages paid In tho factories small as compared with wages in America, they were sufficient to enable the employes to accumu late savings, as tho cost of living in Japan Is extremely low. Tears ago Japan borrowed from tne T'nited States our school system and edu cation Is compulsory. The schoolhouse there has become a sight as common as In Amer ica. The eagerness of the ordinary Japanese children to gain an education Is remarkable and they seem to learn neadily. Englisn Is quite generally taught. Thus far those who are educated in modern ways seem to co-operate In the advancement of every thing that benefits their country to a de gree surprising to foreigners. That the Japanese are going to become a great trading nation is apparent. That the material development of the Empire is going to make a great demand for all the labor of their people is quite evirVnt. xi-0 wre fmvr-ssed with the fries that Drake 6 Swan Co. 415 Washington, Cor.
