LAW APPLIES HERE, TOO
Upholding of Compulsory Vaccina
tion by Washington Interests Us.
The fact that the Washington Slate Su
preme Court has upheld the compulsory
vaccination law has, as reported in a spe
cial dispatch to The Oregonian from Se
attle yesterday, created a good deal
of Interest in Portland. The process Is
compulsory here also, but no parent has
ever put up very strong opposition to
it. and it was never carried into the
Oregon courts.
A Seattle physician, whose son was at
tending the public schools there, was op
posed to vaccination and resisted the
rule. The case was carried to the Su
perior Cojrt. which upheld the law, and
then the State Supreme Court also up
held it. While vaccination is required, it
is not Insisted upon as a general thing
unless there is danger of an epidemic
but the law gives authority to the Board
of Education to insist upon the process in
the case of all children attending the
public schools.

OREGON TO EXHIBIT
Deschutes Farmers Will Send
Products to Billings.
VALUABLE PRIZES OFFERED
Representatives of Hill Lines Return
From Central Oregon, Where
Interest In Dry Farming
Congress Is Shown.
J. I. Springer, representing the Great
Northern Railway, and Johnson Porter
of Porter Bros., contractors of the Ore
gon Trunk Line, returned yesterday from
a trip over the proposed Hne, where- they
went to secure samples of grain, alfalfa,
potatoes and other products to be ex
hibited at the fourth annual dry farm
ing congress, to be held at Billings,
Mont., October 26 to 28. The exhibits
will be in competition with products from
the State of Washington east of the Cas
cades and the State or Montana, grown
within 25 miles of any line of the Great
Northern Railway.
James J. Hill, chairman of the board of
directors of the Great Northern Rail
way, has offered J1000 in cash prizes, also
three silver cups, to be competed for at
the Billings congress by farmers from
Montana. Washington and the Deschutes
Valley of Oregon. The fact that Mr. Hill
has particularly indicated the Deschutes
Valley of Oregon shows the interest he
is taking in that part of the state.
Mr. Springer reports that meetings
were held at Prineville, Madras, Bend
and Culver, at which there was great
enthusiasm displayed and a warm wel
come was given to the representatives of
the Great Northern Railway. Commit
tees are now at work collecting the ex
hibits, and a full line will he forwarded
from each place, which will Include an
exhibit from The Dalles. Thn exhibits
will represent the entire Deschutes Val
ley. A Btrong delegation of the most
prominent representatives of the Des
chutes country will go to Billings to at
tend the congress, among them being
Guy Springer. Colver; W. W. Brown.
Hisler; T. M. Baldwin. Prineville; J. M.
Patterson. The Dalles.
The exhibits will be assembled at The
Dalles on October 13. and after being
photographed will be forwarded to Bil
lings, the Great Northern Railway having
undertaken to forward the shipments
free.
RAILROADS WoVLD SHIP HERE
Prefer This Port Because of Down
Grade.
For the purpose of conferring on the
grain rate problems resulting from the
j..ir,. ni-riot-eri hv the Washington
and Oregon Railway Commlssions.a meet
ing of freight traftic men oi an roaus in
volved directly or indirectly is likely to
be held in the near future. The time and
place for this meeting have not been
,,nnn hut thn iiublect has been
discussed and the arrangements will prob
ably be made.
It Is expected that the Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company, Spokane, Port
land & Seattle, Great Northern, Northern
to -ni milcoffi Milwaukee & Puget
Sound will participate. It is predicted
that the outcome win do me ciwvius uV
of the rates ordered by the commissions
and the issuance of new tariff sheets in
accordance therewith.
It is Intimated in railroad circles that
after the new rates are effective, if the
Port of Portland and the exporters make
an effort to eecure a greater proportion
of the grain shipments fom Eastern
Washington, the Hill roads will meet
them more than half way. The railroads.
It is pointed out, cannot control wheat
movements when Beveral ports are open
and rates are common to all such points.
The Great Northern and Northern Pacific,
however, would prefer to send wheat
shipments originating east of Pasco over
the water grades of the North Bank
Railroad to Portland rather than haul
them over the mountains to Puget Sound.
The Incentive to divert the grain ship
ments this way is found in the fact that
the haul to Portland is cheaper. The
diverting of a great proportion of the
grain to Portland would mean a partial
recuperation of the loss in revenue sus
tained because of the lower rates.
PORTLAND MAX IS PROMOTED
E. S. Benson Becomes Controller of
Toledo, St. Louis & Western.
E. S. Benson, who was' the general
auditor for the Oregon Railroad & Navi
gation Company from 1894 to 1904. during
which time he became well acquainted
in Portland, has been made controller
of the Toledo, St. Louis & Western Rail
road Company and the Chicago & Alton
Railroad, by order of Theodore P. Shonts,
the president of the two systems.
From Portland. Benson went to Hous
ton. Tex., to serve as auditor for the
Southern Pacific for that district. Later
he was made auditor of the Panama
Railroad, a small line operated by the
Government in connection with the Pan
ama Canal. There he became acquainted
with Shonts, who took him from there
to New York to have supervision of the
accounts of the Metropolitan Railroad
system of that city. He was In that po
sition at the time of his recent appoint
ment, which was on October 1.

TRAFFIC TOO GREAT FOR GATE
O'Brien Tells Why East Morrison
Street Barrier Is Disabled. ,
Responding to complaints that the rail
road gate at East Morrison and East
First streets is not being operated, J. P.
O'Brien, general manager for the Harri
man lines, said yesterday that it was
practically impossible for the railroad
company to keep this gate in constant
operation because of the frequency with
which it is disabled by reason of the
congested traffic on that thoroughfare.
"The railroad company does Its best to
keep this gate in working condition, but
between streetcars, automobiles and pass
ing vehicles It is in a disabled condition
a great deal of the time," said Mr,
O'Brien. "We keep repair parts on hand
sufficient to equip four such gates, but
when the gate is broken four times In
ten days by passing vehicles, as oc
curred recently, it makes it practically
impossible for us to keep the gate in
constant operation. When the gate is
not in working order, we keep a flag
man at the crossing. Another flagman
is stationed at the same crossing by the
street railway company so that the possi
bility of an accident taking place Is very
slight"
