E ON SWITCH -BILL Measure if Passed Will Compel S. P. to Connect With United Railways. FENTON OPPOSED TO BILL Declares Measure Is Unfair to Ilar riman Iilnes In Giving Ship ping Privileges to Iti Tal Company. STATE CAPITOU ftiltm. Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) After hearing the arguments 'of railroad atttorneys this evenlnp. the Senate railroad committee decided to re port favorably upon Kellaher's bill re quiring one railroad to connect Its lines with another or with any private switch where ordered by the Railroad Commis sion. This bill Is particularly d'-MRned to V've every shipper in carload lots thw richt to have a private switch if the Railroad Commission thinks the circum stances and the amount of tralTic offered warrants. It Is also particularly de- signed to afford a m-an! of compelling the Southern Pacific to connect Its lines on Jefferson street, Portland, with the line of the United Railways, thus friv lns the United Railways the oppor tunity to switch cars from the South Fortland shops over Its Front-street line to the terminal yards, where the cars can be turned over to the Northern Pa cific for transcontinental shipment. Favored by Commission. The bill was favored by Railroad Com mlssioner AUchison and Senator Kelia her. It was opposed by Attorney W. D. Fenton. of the Southern Pacific. Mr. Aitchison declared that although the bill will affect the relations of the South ern Pacific and the United Railways. It was not drawn for that purpose, but with a view to facilitating traffic In any part of the state where It may be desira ble to connect one road with another. Attorney Fenton said that so far as private switches are concerned his road has never had any disagreement with people who wanted switches and who had business enouKh to warrant puttins in a switch. He asserted that so far as the bill would apply to connection with the United Railways It would be an In justice to ills road, for. apparently, the United Railways is a Hill road and to require the connection as proposed would enable the United Railways to take cars from the South Fortland mills on the Southern Pacific lines, get S? a car for h.-Jlln(r them one mile to the terminal yards, where the Northern Pacific would take them and get the pay for the trans continental haul. Vnfalr to Sonthcrn Pacific Fenton said that the United Railways has only a few miles of track and not a single car suited for the handling of transcontinental freight. This bill would require the Southern Pacific to furnish the cars for the mills in South Portland, which enterprises the Southern Pacific had helped to build tip. and all the Southern Pacific would get out of the business would be a small charge for switching the cars onto the United Rail ways track and the mileage of the cars while being hauled by the Northern Pa cific. He also said that as soon as the Southern Facltic has constructed Its bridge across the Willamette at Oswego and has completed its Willsburg cut-off, it wili be prepared to switch cars from South Fortland into the terminal yards bv wav of Oswego and thus avoid the delay "of the 100-mile trip to Whiteson and back to the terminal yards on the Fourth-street line, which line is soon to be abandoned. The railroad committee was unanimous in Its report in favor of the Kellahor bill. Senate bill 172. The railroad com mittee also decided to report adversely on Sinnotfs bill requiring railroads to transport livestock at an average rate of 15 miles per hour for the trip and for bidding delays of three hours In one place.

Early this week the House ways and means commit tee recommended an appropriation of $115,000 for Monmouth only, but the House Instructed the committee to bring in ap propriations for three schools.

Bill for IIorse9 Cut. Representative Jones' (Lincoln and Polk) bill, appropriating $100,000 to reimburse In dian war veterans for use of horses dur ing Indian uprisings of 1856-56, was re ported back to the House today by the ways and means comm.ttee, recommend ing that $25,000 only be allowed In set tlement of these claims. It was the opinion of the committee that, having already recommended an ap propriation of $4000 to complete payment of these veterans for their services to the state, being in addition to an appro priation of $100,000 two years ago, an ad ditional $25,000 should be sufficient to sat isfy in full the claims. Jones will make a determined effort to have the appropriation Increased to $100, 000, as provided in the original bill. Ordinary Demands Stationary. Demands of the immediate state insti tutions and departments of government are not much Increased over those of two years ago, excepting the Asylum. The big Asylum increase is for neces sary Improvements, for Which the ways and means committee recommended $362, 000, in addition to $490,000 for maintenance, making a total of $452,000. The Asylum Is antiquated in many ways and Is over crowded with 1550 inmates, whereas 11 should hold only 1200. The Institution is in constant danger from fire from its crude heating methods, there being no less than 3S heating furnaces in th building. The usual appropriations in the gen eral bill of this session, as compared with those of two years ago, made the follow lng showing: 1909. 190T.

Spe cial) In regulation of sailor boarding houses the Senate tonight passed the bill of the oPrtland Chamber of Commerce In troduced by Senator Selling, 23 ayes. This bill limits the sailor fee to $20 and thus bars out the Nottingham bill that limits the fee to $10.

HOUSE PASSES ROAD BILL SIXTEEN LEGISLATORS VOTE NO OX FINAL PASSAGE. Measure Carries Conditional Appro priation of $100,000 for High way to Crater Lake. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 12 (Special.) Representative Purdln'g bill appropriating $100,000 towards the con struction of a wagon road from Medford, via Crater Iake, to Klamath Falls, passed the House this afternoon, with IS votes against it.

It is estimated that the proposed road will cost about $400,000. The bill was- considered and favorably reported by the House sitting in commit tee of the whole, with Campbell . in the chair. Jones (Lincoln and Polk) op posed the bill, declaring the state first should provide for the construction of needed highways for practical purposes and the public good before spending its money for a road that would be used largely by pleasure-seekers.

Purdin, McArthur, Brooke, McCue, Mc Klnney, McDonald, Calkins, Jaeger, Car ter and Milller spoke for the bill. This request of the people from the southern part of the state, they argued, was de served.

The 16 Representatives voting against the bill were: Brandon, Bryant, Camp bell, Conyers, Dimick, Farrell, Hatte berg, Hughes, Jackson, Jones (Lincoln and Polk), Jones (Clackamas), Lelnen weber, Libby, Meek, Munkers and Phil pott.

AGONY OF ECZEMA BEYOND WORDS Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Tor turing Humor Hair All Fell Out and Ears Seemed Ready to Drop Off Clothing Would Stick to Bleeding Flesh Hoped Death Would End Fearful Suffering. CASE SEEMED HOPELESS BUT CUTICURA CURED HER "Words cannot describe the terribl eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole body. I was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot. I looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. The pain and agony I endured seemed more than I could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my Bcalp, from under my finger nails, and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen I was afraid they would break off. Every hair in my head fell out. I could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor aid all ho could, but I got worse and worso. My condition was awful. I did not think I could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful sufferings. In this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the Cuticura Rem edies. I said I would, but had no hops of recovery. But oh, what blessed re lief I experienced after applying Cuti cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and brought me the first real sleep I had had in weeks. It was as grateful aa ice to a burning tongue. I would baths with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti cura Resolvent for the blood. In a short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew I was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in a short time I was completely cured. I cannot praise Cuticura enough. I wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. My condition was so terrible that what cured m cannot fail to cure anybody of this awful disease. If any one doubts the truth of this letter, tell them to write to me. Mrs. Wm. Hunt, 135 Thomas St., Newark, N. J., Sopt. 2S. 190S." Cuticura Soap.
