i lures and Supplies.
Articles of Incorporation have been filed,
with W. M. Kapus, E. H. Corbett and R.
McMIchler aa the Incorporators, of a
company to be known as the Northwest
Gas Equipment Company. The purpose of
this company Is to handle all lines of fix
tures and appliances used In Illuminating
gas consumption, and the various me
chanical uses in which gas is employed,
and to do engineering work along the
same lines.
Beginning January 1. the Portland Gas
Company will not engage In the business
of furnishing these devices, a branch of
the business which they have followed for
some years: and the operations of that
company will be more closely restricted
to the manufacture and distribution of
the product of its plant.
The newly organized company Is to be
entirely distinct from the gas company,
although the officers of the new organi
zation are former employes f the gas
company, but have resigned, to take ef
fect January 1. Mr. Kapus, the secretary
and treasurer of the new company, has
been for 14 years connected with the gas
company: Mr. Corbett for several months,
and Mr. McMIchler for about 10 years.
The new concern will have separate
quarters, probably In the vicinity of the
gas company's office, but Its business will
be an entirely new enterprise and- is said
to be only Incidentally connected with the
producing company. The new company
expects to enter into the business of sell
ing all the appliances referred to as soon
as possible after the first of the year.
The officers of the company are the In
corporators: President. R. MeMichler;

HILL ROADS READY
TO SETTLE' FIGHT
Portland Depot Troubles
Should Be Compromised
on Coast, He Says.
N. P. HAS NEW DEPOT SITE
President Hill, of Great Northern
Heclares Two Roads Will Build
Separate Stations Here If Mat
ters Are Xot Soon Adjusted.
That the Hiil railroad systems enter
ing Portland are ready to build a sep
arate passenger station for the use of
their own trains and have already se
cured the property upon which to erect
such a structure was the statement of
Lrfiuls W. Hill, of the Great Northern.
last night. President Hill says, how
ever, that in deference to public con
venience, the Interests he represents
have been delaying puch action to see If
th terminal differences In Portland
could not be adjusted. He says this
depot may never be built, but declares
the Hill roads are ready to put up a
passenger depot here that would be a
credit to a city much larger than Port
land.
Mr. Hill says he would prefer a sep
arate passenger station, but that Port
land hajerests would rather have the
passenger traffic of the city' centralized
In one. depot. He say? the location de
cided upon for a passenger station i
the tract of land between Ninth a
Tenth streets and lying between iMvejoy
street and the riverfront. This prop
erty is already owned by the Hill inter
ests and it lie northwest of the tract of
the Northern Pacific Terminal Company.
"It is good sentimental advertising for
our company to be Kept out of the I'nion
Depot." said Mr. Hill. "Personally '
would rather we had a station of ou
own. but there 1? not a citizen of Port
land, whether connected with the rail
roads or not, who does not think it best
for the city, and most convenient for
the people, to have one central passen
ger depot.
Regrets Outside Control.
"But we can do nothing to remedy the
present situation, because the railroad
officials here have no authority to act.
Tiie New York boards of directors" of a!i
lines interested think it is up to them
to settle this matter. It is something
they are not fully Informed upon or can
handle Intelligently. Furthermore, , they
are too far from headquarters to realize
all the matters' at issue. If the matter
of a settlement of the terminal question
here were left In the hands of Mr.
O'Brien or Mr. Cotton by the Harrimai
lines. I believe It would be settled right
away. We can settle it out here, if given
the 'authority, witbin a very short time.
But the settlement is not In the hands
of anybody except the New York boards.
The Great Northern is the only line that
has authority to act in the matter as
yet."
President Hill reached Portland yester
day morning at 7:50 over the Northern
Pacific from Seattle. He Is traveling in
his private car. Great Northern car A
22. and left the city at 7:45 last night
over the Southern Pacific for California.
He will make a short stay there and
then return to St. Paul. While here he
took occasion to deny the report that his
trip , has anything to do with the at
tempted settlement of the local terminal
tangle. As to the proposed meeting of
the arbitration committee of the North
ern Pacific Terminal Company, which
was reported to be on the schedule for
today, Mr. Hill said he had never even
heard of this committee.
Mr. Hill is an enthusiastic automoolllst
and takeg his machine, a first-class tpve
of American car, everywhere with him
that he can on his trips. He has the
auto along on this Jaunt and used it in
interior Washington, making a five-day
trip In the machine. He has used the
car to spy out projected railroad lines,
as well as for his own pleasure.
Other Officials Come.
C. M. Ievey. vice-president of the
Northern Pacific and general manager
of the lines east of Trout Creek, Mont.,
accompanied ' by C. W. Nutt, general
manager of the lines west of Trout
Creek, and A. D. Charlton, assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the Northern
Pacfic, arrived in Portland later In the
day by special train, Mr. Charlton hav
ing gone to the Sound to meet the two
other officials and accompany them to
Portland. '
A. I-. Craig, general passenger agent
for the Great Northern, with headquar
ters at St. Paul, and Assistant General
Passenger Agent Ross, of Seattle, were
also in Portland yesterday. ' The pres
ence of so many Hill officials in the city
gave rise to the report that a settlement
of the terminal troubles and the gather
ing of the clans was for arbitration.
This rumor was denied In detail by the
various members of the party.
"I have not seen Mr. Hill," said Vice
President Levey. "There Is no progress
to report in the terminal matter. That
is not what we are here for. Our train
is to go over the new track between
Vancouver and Kalama. and we want to
get in touch with local conditions. I
have not been In Portland for some time,
and as my family is in Tacoma, I like
to get out this way as- often as possible."
Mr. Nutt. too. disclaimed any partici
pation In the terminal settlement. "We
have no expectation of accomplishing
anything In that matter on this trip."
he said. "That has got to be settled in
New York. I came down with Mr.
Levey. Our train will go out tomor
row and will be run over the new North
ern Pacific track between Vancouver and
Kalama, This track, while Just rebuilt.
Is in better shape than might be ex
pected, and Northern' Pacific trains will
use it on the run between Portland and
Puget Sound within the next few weeks.
Just how soon I am unable to say. but
the new route will be followed Just as
soon as it will be allowed by the in
terstate commerce regulations. We haVy
given the required 30-day notice by filing
tariffs, but I do not remember the exact
date the notice was given, so I cannot
say how soon the 30 days will be up.
When that time comes the new road will
be opened and the Northern Pacific ferry
between Kalama and Goble will be
abandoned by the Sound trains."
TRADB EDITORS SEE GOOD 1 EAR.
Reports of HlB-b.-Cla.Mi Trade Papers
Show Iacreane of Business Confidence.
New York Herald.
' That with a general tone of In
creased ' confidence the outlook la
bright for a gradual resumption of nor
mal trade is the almost unanimous
opinion of the editors of 33 high-class
technical and trade papers in the East,
who. in response to a request from the
American Trade Press Association, have
given reports on the actual condition
of business during the last few months
and the prospects for 1909 in their re
spective fields. Extracts from these
reports have Just been made public, and
are as follows:
American Grocer "The grocery trade
feels a depression less than any other
line of business, and it changes in char
acter rather than volume The policy at
present Is to carry light stocks and
make frequent purchases There has
been a tremendous decrease in sales on
contract," which has forced manufac
turers generally, and packers of canned
goods In particular, to carry their out
put. The result was a decided decline
in prices until some lines were forced
to sell' below cost of production."
Dry Goods Economist "The retail
dry goods trade is now In a very
healthy condition. Purfhases have
been held down all this year and stocks
are low and clean. Given seasonable
weather and a rest from the distrac
tions of politics, the retail dry goods
trade of the country as a whole for
November. 1908. will probably equal, if
not surpass, that of any preceding
November In our history."
Northwestern Alllier "The present
condition and future prospects of the
milling business are .satisfactory and
encouraging. We hope for a larger ex
port trade in flour this year than
usual." 1
Tea and Coffee Trade Journal "Evi
dences of better business conditions are
plentiful on every side."
Fiber and Fabric "We look for a decid
ed improvement in business between no
and Spring. Already there are evidences
of Improvement."
Textile Manufacturers' Journal "It will
be surprising if there is not a healthy in
crease in all dl isions. with a more ex
tensive margin of profit possible to the
manufacturer and more general opera
tions for the laborer."
" Hills Running Fall Time.
Textile World Record "In textile man
ufacturing circles there is a sincere feel
ing of improvement in business, which is
backed by the cheering evidence of more
mills starting up on full time, more orders
for machinery and a general tone of in
creased confidence.
Boot and Shoe Recorder "The pros
pects are that 1909 will be one of the most
successful business years in our history."
Shoe and Leather Reporter "There Is
every reason to prophesy a steadily in
creasing business for the shoe and leather
Industry."
Jewellers' Circular "With the election
over It is now confidently expected that
business will pick up in all lines some
what rapidly, but not in a rush."
Manufacturing Jeweler "There is an
optimistic feeling abroad in industries
that is very pleasing."
House Furnishing Raview "It cannot
be said that there is any 'boom,' but a
steady growth is certainly apparent."
Music Trade Review "We face the fu
ture with much confidence and with a
fixed belief that 1909 will be a year of
magnificent business proportions."
Tobacco Leaf "The trade is now about
normal."
Coal Trade Journal "There has been a
considerable improvement in the coal
trade in the last six weeks."
Expect Material Improvement.
Mines a.nd Minerals "Reports from our
field men saem to indicate a general Im
provement of conditions in the lines with
which we are familiar, and we shall be
greatly, surprised if business conditions do
not show a very material Improvement
between now and the first of the year."
Lumber Trade Journal We are going
to have a good lumber business. The
market will rise steadily."
Iron Age "We are hopeful of a return
to normal conditions, which is far more
conducive to the permanent welfare of the
Industry than short outbursts of frenzied
activity -n long periods of almost hope
less depression."
Iron Trade Review We do not believe
that we can look for permanent improve
ment to any large extent until after the
new tariff law has been enacted."
Jtlectrtcal .Review Do not see any
signs of 'boom,' but do see an encourag
ing Increase in business, and the desire to
transact business."
Electrical World "There is every rea
son to believe that early in 1909 the out
put will be equal to anything known dur
ing the best period of 1906, when high
water mark was attained."
Electric Railway Journal "Restoration
of Industrial activity, which is now as
sured by the election, will restore gross
earnings of railways rapidly to at least
the point at which they stood before the
business depression began to be general;
but the hostility against public utilities
which has been indulged in during so
many months will have to be abandoned
if corporations offering service to the
public are to feel the beneficial results of
return of business prosperity. Improve
ment in these cnaitions will produce a
confidence which will permit again the
investment of money for constructing new
lines and extending existing properties."
Building; Money Plentiful.
Railroad Age Gazette "While the elec
tion has only Just been decided, the result
Is highly satisfactory to the Industry we
represent."
American Architect Money for build
ing operations is now plentiful."
Record 'and Guide The outlook for
the coming year is most encouraging."
Municipal Journal and Engineer
'Municipal bonds are finding a ready
market."
Insurance Press "Better conditions are
hoped for." t
Paper Trade Journal "Mills will be
swamped with business which they can
not fill on time."
American Printer "Conditions in the
printing-trade field are improving all over j
the country."
Automobile "Present prospects are en
couraging."
Blacksmith and Wheelwright "Unques
tionably, conditions are much Improved."
International Marine Engineering
There will be a large volume of repair
work to floating equipment during the
coming year, and a considerable amount
of new work."
Boilermaker "The boilermaklng field
has shown a considerable improvement."

How Babies Hate Light.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Success.
The attitude of the baby toward light
te widely different from ours. He goes
on: '
"Light is one of the most stimulating
and attractive things in the world to us;
and the brighter, the better. V.'itness
the glitter of the gin palace and the
blaze of Coney Island. But to a poor,
blinking tot of a baby it is as dazzling
and irritating as it is grateful to us. His
chief objection to the new world in which
he finds himself, if he could put it in
words, would be. 'It's too beastly light.'
He is born a caveman in more senses
than one. "While the rooms which he oc
cupies should get plenty of sunshine, this
should never be allowed to shine directly
into his eyes or full upon his face. He
has neither pigment in his tender skin
nor hair, on the top of his pink little head
to protect him against the light rays;
and it is little short of "cruelty to ani
mals' to lay an unfortunate baby on his
back in a trough-like perambulator or
baby buggy, so deep and well padded that
he can not even squirm; to load him
down with clothing and wraps, or even
actually strap him down, so that he can

The relation of the skin to the
vital oifeans through the nervous
system in controlling the blood

LaGrippe
Weakness
"After a spell of La Grippe I was
so weak and exhausted I could
hardly stand. I began taking- Dr.
Miles' Nervine and was soon better
in every way."
MRS. F. J. NORTON, Freeville, N. T.
La Grippe seems to wrench every
particle of vitality from its unfortu
nate victims. That's where the
principal danger lies; because it
leaves the system in a weakened
condition which invites more serious
diseases. During convalescence
Dr. Miles' Nervine
should be taken to restore nervous
energy, and overcome this weaken
ing influence which is the most
serious effect of La Grippe.

HEALTH
IS BETTER THAN
WEALTH
For years we have been talking through the
columns of this paper on matters of health,
and thousands have profited by our advice and
consultation, many of whom needed nothing
in the way of treatment but good, wholesome
advice, which we always give cheerfully.
Insetting and maintaining health there is
nothing more uncommonly displayed by the
average man than good, common sense. They
seem determined never to know the worth of
water until the well runs dry. They throw
away their health by indiscretion and neglect
as though their bodies were machines that
could never wear out. Today we want to im
press upon you the importance of looking after
your health. Don't let the canker worm of
delay hypnotize you into neglect but get the
"today habit:" Come over today and let us
examine the nerve tensions and have a free,
confidential, heart-to-heart talk about your
health. If we can do you no good we will cer
tainly do you no harm. We have been much longer established in
Portland than any other specialist in our line and furnish the best
bank and personal references. The truths contained in our Medical
Encyclopedia of 950 pages is indisputable authority over the United
States, so why not get your information from the fountain head?
