HARRIMAN COUNSEL
GET CONTINUANCE
Hearing of Deschutes Injunc
tion Suit in Federal Court
Is Postponed.
COMES UP NEXT TUESDAY
Postponement Consented To by At
torneys for Oregon Trunk Six
ty Miles or Right of Way
Are Involved.
Argument on the motion to dissolve
the temporary Injunction obtained the
first of the week by the Oregon Trunk
against the Deschutes Railroad Com
pany will be heard by United States
Judge Bean in the Federal Court next
Tuesday. This case, which Involves the
southerly 60 miles of the rights of way
of the two rival roads, was to have
! been heard today. As a result of a
conference between W. W. Cotton, rep-
J resenting the Harriman property, and
' Judge C. H. Carey, of counsel for the
Oregon Truns, Judge Wolverton yes
terday consented to a continuance of
the hearing until ID o'clock Tuesday
morning. This will enable Mr. Cotton
to complete the preparation of affi
davits on which he will rely in part in
resisting the prayer of the complain
ant company that the temporary in
junction be made perpetual.
Efforts on the part of the Oregon
Trunk to .obtain the upper hand in the
right-of-way controversy over the first
40 miles of the Deschutes will be op-
; posed vigorously by the Harriman rep
resentatives. That such a move is in
tended by Porter Bros, is reflected in
the second suit of Importance as re
lating to the situation which was filed
In the United States Court here yes
terday. In substance, the opposition to
the Harriman road asks the court to
permit them to construct the railroad
at such points In the canyon as the
surveys of the two rads conflict, and
where there is not sufficient room to
build two separate railroads. At the
same time tne Oregon Trunk people
propose that the court shall determine
the regulations and terms under which
the opposing road shall nave the right
to use Its track over such places in
the canyon.
In resisting this step in the legal
battle which has been Introduced by the
Oregon Trunk, Mr. Cotton, legal coun
sel for the Harriman lines, will con
tend that the Harriman road is the
possessor of a priority of right over the
Oregon Trunk, as to the survey for
the first 40 miles up the Deschutes. He
has in his possession official records
from the Secretary cf the Interior at
Washington informing the Harriman
people that, while the maps of survey
for both roads for this distance were
approved at the same time, the maps
f the Deschutes Railroad Company
were given priority by reason of the
activity of Its representatives in com
plying with the conditions Imposed by
the Reclamation Department before
any such survey would be approved.
OREGOV TRUXK FILES XEW SCIT
Seeks Right of Way Where Surveys
Conflict in Deschutes Canyon.
Through another suit filed in the United
States Court yesterday against the Des
chutes Railroad Company, the Oregon
Trunk asks the court for an adjudication
of the rights of way of the two rival
roads for the first 40 miles up the
Deschutes River. "Where there Is not suf
ficient room for the construction and op
eration of two tracks, the complainant
company requests the court to be desig
nated as the company which shall con
struct the track. The suit proposes that
in that event, the court also shall nx the
amount of money the Deschutes Railroad
shall pay towards the construction of the
single track by the Oregon Trunk and
shall prescribe regulations for the use of
the property by the opposition road.
Pending a determination of the suit, for
which a date has not been set for hear
ing, the Harriman force. are restrained
from in any way interfering with the
' right of way of the Oregon Trunk in the
40 miles involved in the suit.
With the filing of this suit yesterday,
the Oregon Trunk, through Its attorneys.
Carey & Kerr, of this city, has succeeded
Jn restraining temporarily the Harriman
forces from proceeding further in con
struction work at all points on the pro
jected road for the first 100 miles ex
tending southerly from the mouth of the
Deschutes River where there exists a
conflict in the surveys of the rival roads.
It Is more than probable that the injunc
tion suit affecting the southerly 60 miles
. of this distance, which was filed by the
: Oregon Trunk attorneys Monday, will be
' disposed of first. Argument in this case
! has been set for next Tuesday,
i In the complaint filed yesterday It is
J recited that the maps of survey for the
I first 40 miles of the two projected roads
I were approved by the Secretary of the
' Interior on the same day. June 21. last.
' It is alleged in the complaint that the
two surveys cross each other at a mim
,ter of places within a distance of about
12 miles. At other points In the canyon.
It is charged in the complaint that the
grades which have been determined by
the two roads for the construction of
their respective tracks so far differ that
it will be impossible for the two tracks
to be constructed and for a railroad to
be- operated upon each of them.
"The complainant Is Informed and be
lieves." continues the complaint, "that It
Is possible for both the railroad of the
complainant and the railroad of the de
fendant to be constructed through that
portion of the Deschutes River herein
designated as the canyon, upon a loca
tion, in a manner and with grades and
curves, that are fo each of said rail
roads practicable in maintenance and op
eration, but that such construction and
locatton can be had oniy by a modifica
tion and change of the location of grades
and curves of each of the proposed rail
roads." It is further recited In the complaint
that the plaintiff company has assembled
men and equipment for the construction
of its 11ns and is proceeding with con
struction work at points both north and
south of the conflicting points in the
first 40 miles: that It Is necessary to
have the conflicts adjusted that the road
may be completed consecutively from the
starting point at the mouth of the Des
chutes River and thenoe southerly up
that stream before It will be possible to
complete and operate the proposed road
satisfactorily.
The court is asked to determine the
location where the roads may be con
structed at points where there Is now a
conflict so that neither will interfere with
the other. It i also asked of the court
to determine upon what portion of the
canyon only one railroad can be con
structed and operated and "as to that
portion of the canyon will by proper order
permit the complainant to construct its
railroad and prescribe the grades and:
curves upon wheh it shall be constructed,
and will fix and prescribe the terms
upon which and the manner in which
the defendant may be permitted to oper
ate Its trains thereon, and will determine
and fix the proportion of the cost of the
construction thereof which the defendant
ought to pav, and will decree the pay
ment thereof by the defendant to the
complainant."
WILIj SHOW KEED OF NEW LIXE
Peninsular Citizens Xante Agent to
Take rp Matter With Company.
W J Peddlcord has been appointed by
the 'citizens' committee from the Penin
sula, which is urging the Portland Rall-
t i,. a. Power Company to extend
its North Alblna-Kenton branch on to
St. John, to submit In writing a state
ment to the president of the company
the advantages of the new line. This
committee held a conference with Vice
President F. I. fuller about this exten
sion and went over the subject fudly.
Mr Fuller admitted on the showing that
the branch is needed, but referred the
committee to the president.
The line, if extended, will run from Ken
ton to the north bridge that is being built
across the cut for the North Bank line,
where the north loop of the St. John line
will cross this cut also. The distance Is
about two miles. By building this short
branch, there will be two main electric
railways down the Peninsula the pres
ent one down the middle of the district
and the new one from North Alblna to
Kenton and to Bast St. John. The lat
ter line will serve the manufacturing dis
trict, including the Swift plant, the Mon
arch Sawmill, the proposed wood pipe
concern and the numerous other plants
that are in prospect for this district
It is urged by the committee that the
line would be a paying one. and must
be built in the future, if not now. The
railway company is now pushing con
struction from Klllingsworth avenue, and
will soon have the branch completed to
Kenton. Two miles more of trackage,
said Mr. Peddcord. will complete the gap
and furnish another through line along
the north side of the Peninsula, where
all these great enterprises are being
erected. '

OPEN SHOP TODAY
Serious Situation on Docks Is
Brought to Crisis by Ex
porters of Grain.
WHEAT DIVERTED TO SOUND
Refusal of Union to Enter Into an
Agreement With Exporter the
Cause Immense Cost to
Port Iilkely to Ensue.
(Continued Prom First Pare.)
If the trouble is not healed over soon
and amicably adjusted, it is more than
probable that the other waterfront
unions, with a total membership of be
tween 800 and ' 1000 men, will be drawn
into trouble.
The true significance of this move on
the part of the exporters and its vast
importance to the future welfare of this
city can be better appreciated when it is
stated that coincident with the declaring
of the open shop, wheat which was to
have been shipped here over the North
Bank road from the interior was directed
to be sent to Puget Sound, by the Port
land Flouring Mills Co., yesterday. And
several grain ships recently chartered
with the option of loading here or on the
Sound, and which were first ordered here,
have likewise been diverted to the Sound.
More than this, it was stated emphati
cally by Theodore B. Wilcox, president
of the Portland Flouring Mills Company,
and Peter Kerr, of Kerr, Qifford & Co.,
that if it is found difficult to get the
grain handled here under the $3 rate,
every bushel of the huge shipments that
annually leave this port will be diverted
direct to the Sound and loaded for for
eign shipment there.
Serious Effect on Port.
How much this would injure tho city 1b
difficult to realize. Last year was an off
year for the wheat crop, but the total
shipment to all porfs for the year ending
June 30 amounted to 9,280,896 bushels.
This was worth somewhat more than
$9,600,000. For the same period the Sound
exported only 6.705,836 bushels.
For the season of 1907-08, which was a
normal year, from here was exported
lfi.844,790 bushels, valued at more than
tlS.OOO.OOt1. All this vast quantity of
wheat Is in danger of being routed to
Puget Sound.
Last year's barley shipments from
here reached 822,609 bushels and the year
before they were 1,001,078. This, too, would
go to swell the Sound shipments.
To handle this year's anticipated crop,
at least 200 sailing ships will be required.
Of these about 50 have already been
chartered. With the exception of a few
in-bound cargo carriers, every one of
these ships has been chartered with the
option of sending it to Puget Sound.
These ships can be diverted there with
no extra expense to the shippers. Each
sailing ship while In port disburses at the
lowest $6000, and where there are amy re
pairs to make, this amount often reaches
$15,000. Estimating only $6000 each for 200
ships, a grand total of $1.200 000 in this
way alone is in danger of being lost to
Portland and sent to Puget Sound.
Cost of Handling Grain.
It was estimated by one of the expor
ters yesterday that the cost of handling
their grain, including cleaning and re
sacklng, amounts to between 40 cents and
60 cents a ton. During last year's slack
season, the wages thus paid for handling
the wheat alone amounted to more than
$250,000. In a good year they would be.
nearly $400,000. This vast sum, too, will
be lost to Portland unless the difficulty
is adjusted.
The whole issue between the export
ers and the union, on which so much
depends, can be summed up by the
statement that grain will be loaded
here at the same rate as on Puget
Sound, or not at all.
"Our action in declaring the open
shop means that until we find whether
we will be able to secure enough labor
at SO cents an hour here, all wheat for
this port will be shipped direct to
Puget Sound," said Theodore B. Wilcox,
president of Port of Portland Flouring
Mills Company. "Until this difference
is settled no wheat will be shipped
here except from points along the O.
R. & N. where this is the only outlet,
and even in this event It is probable
that arrangements will be made to
have it shipped on to the Sound at the
same rate over the Northern Pacific
The recent trafflo agreement between
Portland and Seattle between the Hill
and Harriman lines should make this
possible.
Big Wheat Docks Idle.
"It means aiso that we shall not use
the new North. Bank wheat dock here.
We can't use It. All our wheat that
should come here over the North Bank
road will go to the Sound. I have al
ready given orders to that effect. I
am very sorry that after trying? he
says for 14 years to get Jim Hill to
build a railroad here with the promise
of a great wheat traffic to have to
divert it back to the Sound.
"Heretofore we have found that, tak
ing Into consideration the Inexperi
enced floating labor on the Sound at
30 cents an hour we could load our
wheat almost as cheaply here by pay
ing experienced men 35 cents an hour.
In fact, I have always stood up for
paying thera 85 cents. The men here
have had experience, and they are men
of families who live here, and I have
wanted to see them well paid. But
now they want 40 cents. We won't
stand for a holdup, which is what it
amounts to. And we will send our
wheat to Puget Sound just as long as
we have difficulty here.
"We shall enter Into no negotiations
with the union. No union men will be
employed from now on, and we shall
try to Bee that none of the men who

The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the neck,
sores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weak
eyes, and general poor health. The Inherited poison, transmitted through
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of it3 nutritive
qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality
of the entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint,
have spent their childhood in constant physical suffering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth,
and perhaps later some disease of the bones or joints developed. 8. S. 8.,
given in their early life, would have prevented this. It would have
cleansed and purified the blood of the taint, nourished and stengthened
their systems, and assisted each to grow into strong, healthful manhood
6r womanhood. S. S. S. is the very best remedy for Scrofula. It goes
down to the bottom of the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all
scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strength
and health-building qualities, and tinder the purifying effects of this great
remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away. S. 8. 8. contains no minerals
in any form, and is an absolutely safe treatment for children, even infants,

No More Dealings With Union.
Peter Kerr, of Kerr, Glfford & Co.,
who Is chairman of the exporter's com

would be carried on with the union.
"All wheat will certainly be sent to the
Sound if we cannot get men here for 30

"We have declared the open shop be

a contract with us for 35 cents and would
not let us know definitely what they pro

not get enough members of their union
together to warrant them in doing so.
Then we asked If they would recommend
the contract to their union. They would

We asked next if they would recom
mend to their union to demand 40 cents an

men together to recommend the 35 -cent
contract, we were given to understand
that they would recommed 40 cents an
hour.
"The situation on the Sound, so far as
we are able to learn, Is absolutely nor

strike movement. Men are very plentiful,
both up and down the Sound, and we do
not anticipate the slightest difficulty in
procuring more than we require at any

Those who attended the meeting of the
exporters and representatives of the
union at which negotiations were rup
tured, were Peter Kerr, of Kerr, Glfford

Union' Secretary Talks.
Secretary Foley said last night that he
could not say what action his union would
take at this time.
"The last season was such a slack one
that our membership is very low Just
now." said Foley. "Our men are scat
tered all over. We will probably not
take any Immediate action toward strik
ing, unless we are forced to do It as a
protective measure.
"We have hitherto refused to renew our
contract, which expired last April, for
the reason that so many members of our
union are away. At yesterday's meeting
we would not commit ourselves for the
same reason, as we had no authority to
do so. There is a strong sentiment in the
union, however, in favor of 40 cents an
hour.
"On Puget Sound there Is a floating
class of workmen, men who come . In and
work for a short time and then blow out
of town again, men inexperienced for the
most part. Attempts to perfect an or
ganisation there have never been a suc
cess because of the low type of work
men. Wages have consequently been
kept down to 30 cents an hour.
"Some yetfc-s ago grainhandlers here
were getting1 40 cents an hour and 60
cents overtime, but it was reduced in the
panic, when we were told that everything
would cost less and living would be
cheaper. On the contrary, living now
costs 20 to 30 per cent more than at that
time."
Other Unions May Be Involved.
Mr. Foley intimated that the affiliated
waterfront unions are pretty certain to
be drawn Into the trouble If It goes very

Prejudice from one cause or an
other prevents many men from doing
their duty toward themselves in this
respect. Prejudice is an unreason
able and a stout enemy to overcome,
but if men do not overcome it, it
will overcome them and blind them
to great benefits in more ways than
one. Punishment from neglect of
duty sometimes comes slowly, but It
comes as surely as wilful neglect
brings woeful regret.

AILING MEN
You Need Not Pay Any Doctor an Exorbitant or
Fancy Price for Treatment When I Offer You a
Thorough and Permanent CURE for a Moderate Fee.
I cure all diseases of men by methods o
my own devising. These methods are a radi
cal departure from the ordinary medical
practice, which attempts to cure every ill of
mankind by stomach drugging and thus kills
more people than are cured. In my practice
I do mt drug the stomach at all, but I apply
healing medicines of my own directly to the
diseased region, and thus effect' a complete
and permanent cure In a very short time. My
treatment never fails, as my unbroken record,
covering a period of over 25 years, fully
proves. Don't be practiced and experimented
upon by physicians, druggists, electric belts
and incompetent specialists. My large prac
tice and quick, thorough methods enable me
to cure men's diseases in half the time and
about one-fourth the usual fees asked.
My guarantee is:
Not a Dollar Need Be Paid Until Cured
CONTRACTED DISORDERS
The serious results that may follow neglect of contracted diseases
could scarcely be exaggerated. Safety demands an absolutely thorough
cure in the least possible time. I have treated more cases of contracted
disorders than any other physician upon the Pacific Coast. My cures
are thorough and are accomplished in less time than other forms of
treatment require in producing even doubtful results. I employ reme
dies of myi own devising and my treatment is equally effective in both
recent and chronic cases.
VARICOSE VEINS
There is no necessity for surgical operations in the treatment of Vari
cose Veins. This disease yields completely to my mild and painless method,
and results are far better than were ever attained by the harsh and dan
gerous practice of cutting. But one week is required, and seldom is it
even necessary to detain the patient from his business.
CONSULTATION AND DIAGNOSIS FREE
I do not charge for advice, examination or diagnosis. If you call for
a private talk with me, you will not be urged to begin treatment. If im
possible to call, write.
Office hours 9 A. M. to 9 P. M. Sundays, 10 to 1 only.

VANCOUVER, B. C. Aug. 12. (Spe
cial.) James A. Moore, the Seattle cap

men, completing plans, according to
confirmed advices received today, for
the establishment of iron and steel

Investment of about $3,000,000.
Raw material for the works will be
drawn from the iron deposits at Quat

start early next year. Mr. Moore owns
a large part of the iron deposits men
