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.
SIXXOTTS DILIi IS AMENDED
Will N'ot Include Owners of Land
for Private Dwellings.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. 12. (Special.) The
Senate judiciary committee this evening
reported without recommendation on Sin
notfs general employers' liability bill,
but submitted a number of amendments
which were adopted. The amendments
change the original bill so that It does
not apply to owners or workmen on
houses or private dwellings or barns and
so that the owner of land will not be
liable where the work has been let to a
contractor or where it is being done "by
the job." The amendments also place
a limit of J7300 on the amount that can
be recovered for injuries causing death
and reduce the penalties prescribed for
violation of the provisions requiring care
In protecting workmen against injury.
The friends of the bill hope that it will
pass in its amended form. It could not
have passed as originally introduced, ap
plying to all owners of land upon which
any kind of . construction work Is done
and with no limit to the amount of dam
ages that can be recovered.

Complying with Instructions of the
House, the ways and means committee
today reported and the House passed' a
separate appropriation bill providing an
appropriation of $106,000 for each of the
three normal schools located at Mon

Fight on JTormals Ahead.
These appropriations will be the center
of a big fight next week. Foes of the
normal school graft will endeavor to cut
off all the normals except that at Ash
land, or abolish them and establish a
new Institution at Portland. 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. In the
Senate a majority of the committee on
education favors Senator J. N. Smith's
bill for one normal at Portland. Old log
rolling tactics will be resumed next week
by the normals.
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.

SAILOR FEES PLACED AT $20
Jack Grant Falls to Secure Insertion
of License Provision.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Feb. 12. 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.
Jack: Grant, boardingmaster of Port
land, has endeavored vainly to have in
cluded a provision requiring all persons
in the business of shipping sailors to take
out a license from the Boarding-House
Commission. Grant says such a provision
was promised by the Chamber of Com
merce, in order to put his on even terms
with his competitors, who ore not com
pelled to pay a license.
HOUSE PASSES ROAD BILL
SIXTEEN LEGISLATORS VOTE NO

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.
The appropriation by the state is con
tingent on substantial support from Jack
son and Klamath counties and from the
General Government. 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.
Dimick attacked the bill for the reason.
he said, that it would establish a baft
precedent, since it would open the w5
for an endless chain or appropriation
bills.
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. As an advertising feature to
attract attention to the state, the building
of the proposed road, said these -speakers,
would bring thousands of people to
Oregon and prove of Incalculable advan
tage to the state.
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. Jones (Douglas) was absent when
vote was taken.

'GAG RULE," SHOUTS JONES
Member Resents Acting Speaker's
Failure to Recognize.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 12.
(Special.) "I desire to announce right
here that I intend to exercise my consti
tutional rights as a member of the House
and I propose to be heard. I will not
stand for any gag rule and no man or set
of men, including the Speaker himself,
can make me sit down. You can put
that In your hat."
In thta language Representative Jones,
of Lincoln and Polk, this morning warmly
resented the failure of Acting Speaker
Reynolds to recognize his request that a
resolution pending before the House be
read before the report of the committee
on resolutions was acted upon. The reso
lution under consideration was that by
McArthur, proposing a constitutional
amendment and providing that no meas
ure shall be twice submitted to the people
under the initiative within eteht years.
The resolutions committee had reported
unfavorably on the resolution which had
been read. Calling Reynolds to the chair.
Speaker McArthur took the floor and ex
plained that he was the author of the bill
and hoped the committee report would be
rejected so' that the resolution might be
further considered and possibly amended
eo as to fix the time provided at four or
six years. He moved that the resolution
and the report of the committee be made
a special order for Monday. Jones was on
his feet while the Speaker was talking
and had demanded the reading of the reso
lution under consideration. Having ap
parently not seen Jones, Reynolds stated
McArthur's motion, which prevailed. It
was then that Jones delivered himself of
his denouncement of gag rule. McAr
thur returned immediately to the chair,
and on his Instructions the resolution was
re-read.

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."
