LETTERS SUSTAIN CHARGE Reclamation Service Accuser De clares Washington and Montana Projects Also Overlooked by Traveling Boosters. Accunlng Washington officers of the Reclamation Service of discrimination against Oresron Irrigation tro1eets in favor of those In the Imperial Valley ana Yuma Desert, Louis W. Hill, nresi ident of the Great Northern Railroad, yesterday called attention of Oresron Washington and Montana business In terests to the situation. Mr. Hill asserts that movlngr-plcture shows and lecturers ostensibly sent but ny the Ciovornment and Director F. H. Newell to operate tent attractions for the advertisement of those projects? wnirh have been completed and are reaay tor settlement, have been subsi dized by the Union Pacific and Atchi con. Topeka & Santa Fe railroads. As u result, nr. Hill avers, the .aen in charge of the displays peddle litera ture, show lantern slides and speak only of the advantages of the projects a ions those railroads. The show opera tors are said to negrlect entirely each and every reclamation project In Ore gon, Montana or Washington. Letters His Proof. In substantiation of his accusation, President Hill showed copies of cor respondence between officers of the Southern railroads and Chief Engineer K. T. Perkins, reclamation officer at L'hlcago, in which an arrangement was made whereby the Union Pacific was to finance the operation of a tent show, pay the Government lecturer a salary and have permission to reproduce Gov ernment literature relating to Irriga tion topics. "It is a fact that the railroads of the country have been requested to finance advertising expeditions sent out in the name of the Government," said Mr. Hill. "The proposal was' made to the Burlington and the Great North ern, and was declined. "A moving picture show, known as the 'Government's Black Tent, was sent Into Minnesota last year. It car ried no pictures or literature relating to any of the reclamation projects in Oregon, Washington or Montana, and when the attention of the lecturer In charge was called to the omission his reply was that they were not ready for settlement, and that he had not been supplied with slides. Perkins on Koad Payroll. 1 investigated the case and ascer tained that many of the projects were ready for settlement. Going further Into the situation. It was found that E. T. Perkins, in charge of the settlement work at Chicago, and who was drawing a salary from the Government, was car ried on the payrolls of the Union pacific at $500 a month. Perkins was discharged from the service, but the policy of the Government to not advertise reclama tion projects' for settlement unless the railroads benefitted by settlement par ticipate In the expense, has not been discontinued. "The Great Northern has a liberal ad vertising fund and Is willing to spend it. but we feel that the principle of assisting the Government Is wrong, and we feel that the agents of the Government have no lawful right to discriminate against the Northwest in that manner. "As I have said before, the Northern Pacific Is advertising Oregon and Wash ington extensively. That work In Ore gon will receive my exclusive time dur ing the coming season. The business interests of this state should see to it that Oregon receives Its proper share of the reclamation advertising. Boston Show Attracts. "We maintained a Western show at Boston during March. It was attended toy thousands of persons who were anx ious to know about the Northwest, and our reports indicate that it has been the tajk of the town. School teachers attended with their classes, and great wonderment was expressed at the con dition of the fruits and vegetables shown. "The New Haven road put In an apple show to satisfy the Bostonlans that New. England could do fully as well !n growing apples, and the best compari son of the result can be quoted from an article in the Boston Evening TraYis acripts of March 12, which said: The exhibits of magnificent Western ap now In Boston, have attracted the at tention of th whole city, and. despite the New Havan Hoad'i show, loud are the lam entations that New England has no such offerings as those from Oregon. Wwhlngton and Idaho. Any New England fruit dealer will tell you that first-grade fruit produced in New England la a negligible quantity, and that people who want the beat will not jay for the sreond and third -rate article that New England fruit la popularly sup Joad to be. In the Western orchard coun try the Apple Shippers' Association super visees the packing and shipping. The Indi vidual Is loat to view entirely. The growers Submit their product to the shippers asso ciations" inspection and the rules laid down as to color, alze. uniformity of package, tc, are rigidly enforced. Again, the label at tached to the Oregon box Is a guarantee as to the contents of the package. It states In a perfectly definite way that the box or toarrel contains No, 1 or No. 3, and only that throughout. "Such a show as that to which the Transcript referred will be maintained by the Great Northern exclusively for Oregon products, and In carrying out our plan of Inducing settlement of this state another show will be operated at Philadelphia. Oregon Car Preparing. "A car devoted exclusively to Ore- f;on will be sent out In September, and t Is behind the two methods that I desire to line up Oregon towns and rommercial organisations during my Visit this Summer. The results which the traveling exhibit cars obtain may be Illustrated by the fact that after our Invasion of New England. Massachu setts fitted out a car and sent It on the road to educate the farmers in how they could obtain results from their soil to equal the success of the Oregon and Washington grower. In March of this year the Boston & Albany Rail road sent out a farming special which was accompanied by the faculty of their state agricultural college. State Forester and agent for the Dairy Bu reau: and the Maine Central equipped and sent out a traveling car. They are trying to hold their people in the East. "In October. 1909. the Boston CHam ber of Commerce sent out an illustrat ed report of Its committee on agri culture. In which It urged that the $15 Sand of that state might be made to bom pete with the $150 land of the West, if the farmers trusted less in Provi dence and devoted more time to intelli gent cultivation of the soil, spraying and fighting fruit diseases. "The Great Northern now has a car going through New York carrying Mon tana and Washington exhibits. Re ports which have reached me here at Portland show that the interest at Syracuse, Oneida, Rome. Batavla and other points has been tremendous. At Onedla 3000 people visited the car in one day. "Oregon is now ready for settlement, and I think we can get together this Summer. Our plans will soon be ready for announcement. Mr. Hill left yesterday to join his father, James' J. Hill, at St. Paul, where a conference on Oregon affairs will be held. 1 MAN IS HACKED WITH AX Roommate His Assailant, Robbery Supposed Motive; Wielder Escapes.

Hill, a well-known lumberman of this state, who died at his home. 389 Kast Forty-fifth street north, April 2, was held yesterday aft ernoon from his residence. In terment was made in the Rose City Cemetery. Rev. Boudlnot Selley conducted the services. Mr. Hill was born in Glasgow, Scotland, 63 years ago and came to the United States in 1S80. For several years he was engaged in the lumber business on the Mississippi River, making his home in Winona, Minn. He came to Oregon 10 years ago, became identified with the lumber Indus try In the Northwest and for the past year had been general man ager of the Waldport Lumber Company. He served on boards of education and City Councils and was elected to the Legisla ture of Minnesota. Mr. Hill Is survived by his wife, one son, Robert C. Hill, managing editor of the Railway and Marine News, of Seattle, Wash., and a daughter, Mrs. George H. Blackman, of Stock ton, Cal. Thomas B. Hill, of Ta coma. Is a brother. assertion of Mrs. Cora Kincannon Smith, a spiritualist, residing at the Auditorium Hotel. 20fft4 Third street. So firm is her belief In the mediumistlc posstbilites of the lad that she has come tt Portland from Spokane to keep In touch with him and develop him Into a first-class medium. Ernest is the 9-year-old boy who leaped into the limelight In the latter part of October when the furniture in the home of his grandparents on Marshall street, where he lived, was turned topsy-turvy, seemingly through no power other than an odd force, said to be possessed by the boy. The incident aroused much curiosity and actual interest, and many theories were advanced. Later Dr. J. Allen Gil bert took the lad in charge and devoted much time in the study of his case. In all the time Dr. Gilbert had the boy no "demonstrations" were recorded. Case Attracts Medium. Mrs. Smith hearing of the case while lecturing In Spokane, came to Portland to investigate. "I believed I might be able with my band of spirits to develop him and make a medium out of him," said Mrs. Smith. "It was most amusing to me to read the various theories given in explanation of the affair that it was electricity, for In stance, or an illness. I, who had been in the work for years, realized that it was spirit control, and although it was destructive in its manifestation, I knew the spirits had an object in destroying the property." The "spirit ban" to which Mrs. Smith referred is called the Washington Union Band, of which the spirit of. the Father of our Country is leader, she says. "He told me to come to Portland and develop the Harps boy into a medium," said Mrs. Smith, "and I am accomplish ing what I set out to do. Although the lad's parents, are church people and so far away from the philosophy and phe nomena of spiritualism, yet they have given their young son into my care will ingly and I am already giving him pri vate sittings. 3oy Impresses Her. "When I first saw Ernest I was im pressed with the fact that he was a physical medium, and that bis clumsy body, heaviness of movement and slow thinking mentality would prevent him from faking anything, let alone a big manifestation like the one that occurred on Marshall street. Ernest's parents are not Interested in the philosophy of spirit ualism, but realise that the power around the boy should be understood and are only anxious to know what it all means." "How do you explain the destructive nature of the Marshall-street affair?" Mrs. Smith was,asked. "As yet I have been unable to explain publicly Just why the spirits broke the dishes and furniture," replied the me dium, "but I understand the cause of the destruction, and while I have not the per sonal gift of language to put this cause into definite and comprehensive Interpre tation, still I Intend soon to reveal, in an inspirational lecture, the reasons for the occurrence. Robert Ingersoll, my present spirit guide, will direct my speech." "Just what do you intend doing with Ernest Harps?" she was asked. My principal line of work," she an- PORTLAND BANKS SHOW BIG GAIN IN DEPOSITS Increase of National Institutions is 27 Per Cent, Compared With April 28, 1909 Gain Is $1,694,147 Since January 31.

AFTER THE GRIPPE "Vinol Restored This 2f an'a Strength "Several years aero I was attacked by a severe case of grippe, which left me with a hacking cough, soreness in my chest, and bronchitis. I took nearly every kind of cough syrup sold on the market, besides medicine given me by physicians. I received no permanent relief until my druggist asked me to try Vinol, and after taking three bottles I was entirely cured. I believe "Vinol to be the greatest blessing ever offered to the public, as it does what is claimed for it." R. B. R. Hicks, Maples-villa, Ala. The reason Vinol cures chronic coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles is because it contains tonic iron and all the healing and body building ele ments of cod liver oil but no oil. Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength builder for old people, delicate children, weak and run-down persons, and after Sickness. W00DARD CLARKE & CO..

Last Saturday night we sat for instructions from the spirit world, and Ernest was controlled by an Indian spirit who spoke through the boy as a medium.

R. & X. MAKES REDUCTION TO AID EASTERN OREGON". Result of Demonstration Is Move to Open Portland Market to Farming People. Following up the movement for more and better livestock and poultry in Eastern Oregon Inaugurated through the medium of the recent- demonstra tion train, the Oregon Railroad '& Navi gation Company has announced a re duction rn the rates on live poultry from all points on its lines to Port land. These ' reductions are about 33 per cent from the old rates, and apply to live poultry in carloads of a minimum of 20,000 pounds, the rates quoted in cluding transportation of a caretaker in both directions. Portland Packers Behfnd Deal. While at the present time live poul try In carload lots is not offered ex tensively in Eastern Oregon to Portland buyers, the movement has another agency behind it in the Portland packing-houses, and it Is believed a large traffic will In time be built up. Portland packers have announced their Intention of handling dressed poultry in quantities, and with the in auguration of more favorable rates agents are to be sent throughout East ern Oregon and small shipments con solidated into carload lots. These agents will also advise the farmers as to the market possibilities in Portland and endeavor to awaken Interest in a larger production of chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. On the recent demonstration train the poultry exhibit occupied two full cars and Included exhibits of chickens dressed for market. The farmers were told how to- feed and care for chickens In a manner to please best the buyers andwgaln the best prices, and every where the exhibit attracted earnest at tention - Traffic Manager Sees Opportunity; After the return of the train R. B. Miller, the traffic manager, decided to supplement the poultry campaign by the establishment of lower rates. About the same time the co-operation of the packers was offered and the rates were announced yesterday by W. E. Coman, the general freight agent. The following will be the new rate In carload lots on live poultry destined to Portland from some of the principal shipping points, the figures indicating cents per 100 pounds: The Dalles. 20: lone, 60: -Condon. 50; Shaniko, 60; Heppner, 65; Pendleton, 62; Elgin, 80; Joseph. 95; Baker City, 80; Walla Walla, 65: Spokane, 80. FOURTH-STREET DEAL WAITS Southern Pacific's Action Not Deter mined for Several Days. What the Southern Pacific will do concerning the operation of trains on Fourth street, in view of Judge Bean's decision, Monday, upholding the city ordinance prohibiting the operation of steam traffic thereon, will probably not be determined for several days. J. P. O'Brien, general manager, is out of the city on an inspection trip, and will not return before Friday. W. D. Fenton, who represented the railroad company in its legal attack against the ordinance, is at Seaside and will not return before the latter end of the week. . yesterday R. A. Letter, who is asso ciated with Mr. Fenton, discussed the form of decree to be entered with City Attorney Kavanaugh. The decree as formulated by Mr. Kav anaugh simply provides an order for the dismissal of the railroad company's proceeding, and the decree will be pre sented to Judge Bean today. Mr. Letter will ask' for the incorporation of an amendment continuing the temporary Injunction about ten drs longer, in or der to give the company an opportunity to decide what course it will pursue; .it is unaerstooa tnat Mr. tvavanaugh will not oppose such an amendment, but would oppose the continuation of the injunction pending appeal. The In junction restrains the enforcement of the ordinance. NEW TRAIN SHIPMENT COMING Great Northern Orders Equipment for Portland-Chicago Run. In . large order for equipment recently placed by th Ore at Northern, it Is understood, are to be the cars for the new Portland-Chicago through service which it has been announced will be established in -the Spring. The orders for equipment represent an expenditure of nearly $3,000,000, which will -fit out two other transcontinental trains on the Oreat Northern, similar hi evfr point to the service maintained on the Oriental Limited. This will mean that the Fast Mail starting out of the Twin City, the Oreat Northern Express out of Kansas City and the Oriental Limited from Chicago, will have the same kind of equipment from pilot to tall light. It will require 25 complete trains to maintain this triple service, which, if hooked up together would extend for more than three miles on a single track.

Hundreds of people have become interested in the prop- x erty for Summer home-sites. Somewhat before the opening of the beach season, we feel that we will be justified by the number of sales already made and the demand stimulated, in materially advancing the prices of property at Neah-kah-nie Mountain. "VVe will do so, however, in the following mannnr. Those who will make their selections now will be allowed the opportunity later of making such changes in selection as they may desire, upon- the basis of the present low prices. Payments, however, on. this plan, must begin at once. With the advance of prices at Neah-kah-nie Mountain, it must be remembered that the property will, nevertheless, be still a half lower than at any other improved beach propert7; in Oregon. Neah-kah-nie Mountain, as most people already know, is the most interesting, wonderful and delightfulsportion of the entire Oregon Coast. Boulevards, water, electric lights, perfect drainage, com modious hotels, golf links, garages, bathhouses; in fact, every requirement of ideal beach life will be provided at Neah-kah-nie Mountain.

According to the reports brought from the Deschutes Canyon both railroads constructing lines into Central Oregon have raised laborers' wages 25 cents a day.

The men, after working in an isolated place for several months, have accumu lated 'stakes" andare deserting daily for Alaska and other fields. During the Winter the daily wage gen erally paid was $3.25 a day, but lately some of the contractors have been offer ing $2.50 for men. The rise is now said to be general.
