INT
ALL TOWHS
TO SEE PRESIDENT
Indications Are Taft's Trip
West May Be Largely
Extended.
RAILROADS ARE CAREFUL
Extra Precautions Always Taken for
Presidential Train Porter and
Chef Have Been With Chief
Executive on Other Trips.
WASHINGTON-. July 11. Indications
multipy that President Taffs Itinerary
for his Western trip and Southern trip
this Fall may be extended. The Pres
ident did not include in the tentative
list published all the places where he
expects to hold a brief car-end recep
tion. Strong efforts will be made by Con
gressmen and state officials to have
the President stop for a few minutes
at least at nearly all the towns of ap
preciable size through which his spe
cial will pass in the daylight hours.
Thus far the President has adhered
to the policy of journeying in a single
private car attached to regular trains.
On ills far Western trip, however, it is
likely that he will follow the policy
of his predecessors in chartering a spe
cial train. The President expects to
be away for two months and will carry
a corps of stenographers, clerks and
telegraphers, in addition to his secre
taries. Thus far the Presidential party has
been confined to the chief executive.
Captain Archibald W. Butt, his mil
itary aide; Assistant Secretary Melcher,
Major Arthur Brooks and two Secret
Service men, James Sloah, who was
with President Roosevelt for seven
years, and "Jack" Wheeler, who has
accompanied Mr. Taft since his elec
tion. The porter and cook assigned to the
President have been traveling with
Presidents for many years. Will S.
Anderson, the porter, was promoted to
Presidential service In 1901, and was
with President Roosevelt on all his
travels. J. C. Broadus, the chef to the
President while en route, began serv
ice under President McKtnley. The
third member of the crew, E. B.
Letcher, has also seen service under
three Presidents.
The railroads in taking every pre
caution for the comfort and safe con
veyance of the President always have
three men on the engine. Sometimes
the third man may be trie division su
perintendent. Always there Is a rep
resentative of the traffic department on
board with authority to take control In
an emergency. The railroads much pre
fer to carry the President by special
train and often do so in preference to
hauling his car at the end of a regular
train.

and can be addressed there. Once set
tled In their quarters at the Angel City,
most of the Elks spent the day sight
seeing. Rome visited the ball grounds
and aw Portland wallop Vernon In the
presence of J. Cal Ewtng, president of
me facitlc Coast League; Pat Powers,
president of the Eastern League, and
Garry Herrmann, owner of the Cincin
nati National League club, and a candi
date for the office of grand exalted
ruler of the Elks.
Tomorrow the visiting Elka are to be
escorted to Pasadena in the morning,
while the delegates to the convention
will open the first session of the grand
lodge. The Portland delegates are
campaigning briskly in the effort to
stir up interest In the 1912 proposition,
and are by no means unsuccessful. The
badges and pamphlets distributed at
the Portland headquarters are creating
considerable comment. In fact the Port
land booklet compares favorably with
anything so far displayed.
Indications point to the election of
Garry Herrmann to the office of grand
exalted ruler. Mr. Herrmann announces
that he will be in Portland for several
days about one week from Thursday.

and the words "Hello Bill" the Elks'
greeting when brother meets brother.
The evergreen, the palm and the pep
per trees have been stripped of their
foliage to deck the poles along each
street, and flowers and the soft ferns are
Intertwined among them, lending an en
chanting prospect to every street. In
the background are gaily bedecked build
ings, many of them so ornately decor
ated as to almost deceive the beholder.

Oregon City.
OREGON CITY. Or., July -1 1. (Spe
cial.) The Southern Clackamas Rail
way through the rich Molalla Valley
to Silverton may be lost to Oregon
City because of the refusal of the
city council to grant a franchise to
F. M. Swift, who for more than a
year has been promoting the proposi
tion. Swift asked from the city a twenty-five-year
franchise to come into
town through rhe Mount Pleasant
section, running down Fifth street to
Center, on Center to Eleventh to
John Adams to Green Point. Arguing
taht the construction of the road
would cinch the trade of the Molalla
Valley. Mr. Swift declines to pay for
his franchise, but this is not satis
factory to Mayor Carll and the five
members of the council who were
present at a special meeting last
night.
The city is willing to let the fran
chise go without cost for the first
five years, and thereafter $250 is
asked for the succeeding two and one
half years, and it is proposed to add
$250 every two and one-half years
during the life of the franchise. Mr.
Swift will now ask the council for a
franchise to come Into the city down
Abernethy.though this route will not
Include the Mount Pleasant district.

SURVEY PARTY MYSTERY
Crew Leaves Goldendale for Moun
tains and Citizens Speculate.
GOLDENDALE. Wash., July Jl.
(Special.) A large party of engineers
came up to Goldendale Friday night and
left Saturday morning by team . for a
point north from here. Members of
the party said they expected to go
about nine miles up Into the timber,
but that they had not been told by the
engineer In charge just what their des
tination was. Supplies were obtained
from the local stores.
Among the business men here It Is
supposed the engineers are connected
with the big Klickitat ditch project.
Others connect this with a visit of the
Indian Agent and railroad men to the
county seat a week ago and believe
that preliminary surveys for a railroad
made some time ago are being completed.

man and a woman working as a team
of thugs robbed John Enquist, of 419

swarmed into the streets and did much
damage. The electric light wires were

withdrawn last evening for some un
known reason. When this became

tacks. Senor Fozesca and his wife had
a narrow escape. They made their way

STIGKNEY STATES PLAN
WOULD HAVE GOVERNMENT
FIX RAILROAD RATES.
Present System of Secret Rebates
Works Against Railroads and
Public, Is His Opinion.
SEATTLE. Wash., July 11. (Special.)
"Not until all railroads are consoli
dated or the Government proceeds to
do directly, what it now attempts to
do by Indirection, viz., fixes absolutely
all railroad rates, will there be an era
of stability and of peace and fair play
both to the railroads and the public."
In these words. A. B. Stlckney, vet
eran president of the Great Western
Railroad, today summarized the rail
road situation and its relation to gen
eral prosperity. "Under the method
now pursued by the Government," he
continued, "It would seem the pur
pose to keep the railroads apart, rub
their ears and let them fight It out
among themselves. The result is un
derhanded and unfair competition with
secret rates to favored shippers, or fa
vored localities and continual dissension
and unrest.
Competition between railroads makes
low rates at competitive points too
low, perhaps and they are obliged to
recoup by excessive charges at non
competitive points. This is most un
just and the people have a right to
complain. But it cannot be helped. In
my opinion, under existing conditions,
and I doubt if it will ever be remedied
until the laws against consolidation of
railways are modified. In fact, it will
be necessary ultimately, if the people
wish to control rates and maintain the
equilibrium of business, to abandon the
idea of doing It Indirectly by a com
plex system of restraint and openly
assume the rate-making function.
"The railroad business has not been
restored to its former prosperity and
will not be for some time. The laws
and decisions prohibiting the consolida
tion of competitive railroads are open to
such varied interpretations that it can
not fail to prove most unsatisfactory
In the end. No railroad can make sure
what rate Its competitor Is giving a
favored shipper. In a desire to get
business away from a rival, rates are
secretly cut Indiscriminately. This
makes the railway business extremely
hazardous, and at the same time makes
every other line of business hazardous,
for the reason that one merchant or
one manufacturer or wholesaler never
knows what rate his competitor is re
ceiving. The same reason that results
in him receiving a special favor may
cause some other shipper or some other
city to receive a similar consideration
at his expense with shifting conditions.
"Stability Is sadly wanting and is
badly needed both on behalf of the rail
road and of the public. It 'is for this
reason that I make my suggestion re
garding the removal of severe restric
tions against consolidation or the ex
ercise of the rate-making power direct
by the Government."
