CONNECTION AT ORENCp Through Freight Will Be Kept OH Downtown Streets Work of Con struction Will Be Rushed. Ijoeation 19 Finished. PRESIDENT STEVENS AN- XOTmCES UMTED BATL WAVS I "LANS. The United Railway htui completed Its location to Tillamook. It will be entirely practicable to run trains from Portland to Tillamook In two hours. Construction work heavy and hlgh gride. Orders for electrical machinery placed. Connection between the Oregon Elect Ho and United Railway will be built close to Cornelius tunnel. Portland to Tillamook In two hours or less Is the promise given, In a state ment to The Oregonian, by John P. Stevens, president of the United Rail ways. In a comprehensive outline of the plans for the construction of the United Kail-ways' line to Tillamook: and of the development of the country in "Western Oregon, President Stevens yes terday told of plans for diverting the lieavy freight traffic from the streets of Portland by the expedient of build ing a connecting line between the United Railways and the Forest Grove division of the Oregon Electric at a joint near Orenco and about three miles west of the Cornelius tunnel. Over this line, according to Presi dent Stevens, all traffic to and from the) Willamette Valley, not terminating or originating in Portland, will be handled, thence over the United Rail ways and interchanged in North Port land with the North Bank road. The idea is to keep Front street clear of all other save purely local traffic. President Stevens points out the ad vantages of the quick service to the each which will result from the com pletion of the Portland-Tlllamook line, and tells of the great development which is expected along the line. He said he was unaware of any attempt being made by the Oregon Electric to secure a Eugene franchise, but said the road would inevitably enter the Willamette Valley town and It de pended on the people of the town Just when this should be. Following is the statement made by President Stevens yesterday: "Since the management of the United Railways Company has been in the present hands . its affairs have been gone thoroughly into and plans for future development have been formu lated in a general way. The company lias completed the final location of its proposed line through to Tillamook Bay, and has secured the greater part of the right of way and necessary terminal grounds at the bay. Road Will Be High Grade. "The line, when constructed on the present location and plans, will be a very high-grade piece of railroad, with unusually easy curvature and long tangents, considering the character of the country traversed. It will be en tirely practicable to cover the 70 odd miles from Portland to the bay In two hours or less. In fact, It is expected that express trains can handle people to and from the beaches to the Port land station in two hours. What this would mean to the people of Portland it Is easy to see. It would mean that a lull day could be fpent at the seashore end not on the train. It would mean that a Portland business man could liave his Summer home at the beach md keep in full touch with his business &f fairs. "The work of construction will nec essarily be very heavy, ow'ng to the high standard adopted for the new line. There will be a number of tunnels, the longest being about one and one-quarter miles in length. The road, after passing through Cornelius Gap by a 4000-foot tunnel now under construc tion, strikes directly across the upper Tualatin Valley, through Cedar Canyon nd over to Upper Gales Creek, thence through the crest of the Coast Range tvnd down the picturesque Wilson River to the shores of Tillamook Bay. Every mile of it will afford a scenic ride of rare beauty. Built with generous standards of roadbed, laid with .0-pound rail, fully tie-plated, heavily ballasted, and pro vided with modern signals and every device necessary to insur.e the safety, comfort, and speed of travelers, this line will represent the expenditure of several millions of dollars, b,ut which, in the opinion of its owners, will be justified by the great undeveloped re sources of the country to be opened up and the certain future growth and im portance of Portland. Tunnel Ready Next March. "The company has placed orders for Iho electrical machinery, including sub stations, necessary to equip the line for 30 miles, or to the west side of the Tualatin Valley, and this section of the road will be completed and put into operation during the present year. The tunnel through Cornelius Gap will probably be completed next March, but as the company has built and has in operation a temporary line over the tunnel. It will not be necessary to com plete the latter before operation can be begun. "The Ruth Trust Company, which is owned by parties friendly to the rail way company, owns a large tract of land at Glencoe, which it is now plat ting and will shortly put on the market this new townslte. It will also place on sale a large number of small tracts, five and 10 acres, adjoining the new town. Undoubtedly the present move ment to cut up the large farm holdings Into small tracts suitable for fruit and market gardens will continue, and as Glencoe will have more than 100 square miles of as good farming territory trib utary to It as there is in Oregon, as well as several billions of feet of first class timber. It is not hard to believe that a few years will see a town of several thousand people, where now is a single country store. With frequent high-class electric service, Buch as Is now given on the lines of the Oregon Electric Railway, the Glencoe country, only 2S miles from the enter of Port land, will become a very important and valuable feeder to the city. "The through service to Tillamook will, for a while at least, be handled by steam, with oil-burning engines, but the short local and lnterurban service will be by high-grade electric installation. "The Interests owning the Oregon Elec tric Railway expect by the development of Its present line, and by the construc tion of nfany miles of new line, to de velop a Very large traffic in the Wil lamette Valley, and necessarily the mar ket for the products of this valley will be largely in the East. It Is realized that it will become an impracticability to handle the heavy freight business through the streets of Portland. Consequently a line connecting the Forest Grove division of the Oregon Electric from a point near Orenco with the line of the United Rail ways at a point some three miles west of the Cornelius tunnel will be built, and all traffic to and from the Willamette Valley not terminating or originating In Portland will be handled by way of Garden Home and the new connection, thence over the United Railways through Cornelius tunnel, to be interchanged with the North Bank road In North Portland, thus keeping Front street entirely clear of all except purely local traffic lnterurban Llnek Only Planned. "The United Railways, as well as the Oregon Electric Company, will keep en tirely out of city passenger transporta tion and will operate only interurban and through lines. They expect to become great factors in the development of West ern Oregon and of Portland. The neces sity for easy physical connection between the two lines and facilities for delivering and taking on passengers in the center of the retail section of the city is per fectly apparent. In fact, it will be Im possible to give the service which must be given without such facilities. The Mount Calvary line of the com pany is now under construction, and it will be completed and put into operation without unnecessary delay, and the plan and method of such operation will be an nounced at the proper time. "The company desires to be understood as intending to live up to its obligations and believes the public will agree with it. that since the change in ownership, it has given every evidence that no other Portland enterprise, which it really is, has done more to merit the confidence and support of the c'tizens than the United Railways Company." TliVIEFROM SPOKANE GUT NORTH BANK TRAIN AVILX. MAKE TRIP HOUR FASTER. Hill System Meets Competition ol Harriman Iiine Both Trains Splendidly Equipped. One hour will be clipped off the run ning times of west-bound Spokane Portland trains Sunday evening by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway. While no definite announcement is forthcoming by the road. It is known that a schedule Is being prepared with the idea of cutting the time also from Portland to Spokane. Although it was repeatedly denied at the time, the statement in The Ore gonlan that the North Bank Road was planning a cut In time to offset the new crack train of the Harriman sys tem, the Spokane-Portland Flyer, is now officially confirmed. At present the Harriman road makes the run In 13 hours. The O. R. & N. trains leave both terminals at 6 P. M., arriving at their destination the following morning. The Spokane Limited is the train af fected by the change. In place of leav ing Spokane at 8 P. M., the time of de parture has been changed to 9 o'clock. Its time of arrival is unchanged. It is understood a similar change on other trains cannot be made until a different arrangement with regard to Eastern arrangements is made. At present the Spokane Limited con sists of a composite observation car, diner, standard and tourist Pullmans. Similar equipment is on the Flyer, on the O. R. & N. system. Both roads have been putting their best equipment on these trains, and It is understood the war was to be solely one of equip ment. That they are determined to capture a large portion of the traffic was instanced by the North Bank Road yesterday. It was rumored onRailroad Row that a change in the times of the Harriman line may shortly follow. Personals From Railroad Row. R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the Harriman lines, is in the East. Until his return the appointment of a succes sor to W. E. Coman, former general freight agent, will not be made. It is understood Mr. Miller will discuss the matter with J. C. Stubbs, traffic director. John M- Scott, assistant general pass enger agent of the Harriman lines, is in Spokane. A. R. Fay, traffic manager of Swift & Co., Chicago, and one of the best-informed men on traffic and rates in the country, was in Portland yesterday and will leave today for Chicago. Booklet on Beaches Is Issued. The Astoria & Columbia River Railroad has Issued a booklet on Clatsop Beach. This is the first publicity that has ema nated from the beach road presses for a considerable time. Considerable diplo macy has been used in the allusions to Gearhart and Seaside, the rival health resorts. Generally they are called Clat sop Beach, but where they are Individ ually mentioned, the name of one, or the picture of one, is Invariably followed by the name or picture of the other. Lebanon Will Celebrate Road. The completion of the Crabtree-Leb-anon cutoff will be celebrated in true, old-fashioned style tonight at Lebanon. A banquet will be held and there will be a large gathering of Portland men around the Junket board. Portland railroad men will make up a private car party and leave for the scene this afternoon, probably returning tonight. RULE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD Sellwood People Need Notice Not to Sprinkle Lawns. Improvement In the water-supply was manifested yesterday at Sellwood and other points supplied from the 10 inch water main, but a great many peo ple do not understand the new regula tions, and many have not yet seen the notices issued by the superintendent. R. W. Edwards, of the Sellwood Com mercial Club, said yesterday: "I think that the water consumers should have personal notice by card, for I have found that really not many understand the regulations. I found people sprinkling their lawns today, contrary to the new regulation, and when I called their attention to the new rule they said that they did not know it had gone into effect. I think it is the duty of the water committee to notify the consumers using water on their lawns and explain in detail the meaning of the regulation. We will have plenty of water as soon as the rule is observed, and It will be bettt-r for the lawns, for most people use more water titan Is needed and really do more damage than good." D. M. Donaugh, president of the Sa'T wood Board of Trade, yesterday ex pressed the opinion chat there will be a good supply of water for all pur poses as soon as the new rule is u 1 derstood and observed.

SIX WIVES SEEK DIVORCE DEGREES One Husband, Too, Asks Court for Separation From Un congenial Spouse. 0UIJA BOARD CAUSES WOE While Joseph Latz Was Supposed to Be Visiting "Father" at Gearhart, Wife Declares He Made Trip to California With Affinity. Maurice Reinstein was a witness before Circuit Judge Morrow in the divorce court yesterday. He testified In the case of Margaret Latz against Joseph K. Latz. The husband is said to have deserted his wife, going to California with an affinity while his wife sup posed he had gone to Gearhart to visit his father, Ben Latz. At the time he left, in August. 1908, he was employed at a local grocery. The wedding took place in Tacoma, September 9, 1906. Judge Morrow will grant the divorce. Four other divorces will also be granted as soon as the shorthand testi mony taken by the stenographer Is ex tended. The testimony heard yesterday morning included that of Charles B. Delaney, who filed a divorce suit against Pauline Delaney saying she consulted fortune-tellers, ouija boards and planchettes, accusing him upon their advice of unbecoming conduct to ward women acquaintances of his. 'He told the Judge their trouble started In 1898, when. In an effort to save money, he took the management of his finan cial affairs out of his wife's hands. After this, said Delaney, his wife told him she had poison in the house, and would kill him and commit suicide. After that he was careful what he ate. Three times he took a knife from her when she threatened his life, he told the Judge. Later she made a will, giv ing all her personal property to her sister and cutting him off with only $1. Although she did not appear In court yesterday, Mrs. Delaney filed an answer to the complaint, alleging that when they separated Delaney agreed to pay her $500 and 60 a month alimony, which she demands. They were married at Philadelphia. March 14, 1892. Roxie Bennett, wife of Mortimer Ben nett, a logger, demanded and will se cure a divorce on the ground of deser tion. He left, she said, because he was tired of married life and of sup porting a family. George Turnbull, Mrs. Bennett's father, took the witness stand in her behalf. Bennett married the woman at Brush Prairie, Wash.. January 11, 1895. They Tiave two boys. The mother was given the custody of one and the other Is with the father. Edith Wethern, who formerly con ducted a restaurant in Fulton, secured a divorce yesterday from A. M. Weth ern. He deserted in January, 1909. They were married at Pendleton, Feb ruary 7, 1900, and have two children. Anna Cummins also secured a di vorce on grounds of desertion. Sha married Elvaro Cummins at Vancouver, Wash., in December, 1902. The last she heard he was in Los Angeles. Before he left he didn't support her, she de clared. Willful desertion on thepart of Law rence V. McDonald is the ground upon which Sarah McDonald has filed a di vorce suit in the Circuit Court. They were married at Redding, Cal.. Febru ary 22, 1900. She says her husband left her in November, 1907. She was for merly Miss Sarah Cox. Neva E. Reed has filed a divorce suit against Ross Reed, a salesman. She ac cuses him of spending his spare time In the company of Sylvia Woods. He earns $60 a month, she says, of which she de mands $30 a month as alimony. They have two children. They were married In Fairbanks, Iowa, In May, 1903. YOUTH SENTENCED FOR THEFT Ieo Iiartman Attempts to Explain Crime; Judge Not Satisfied. Leo Hartman was sentenced by Judge Morrow to eight months in tho County Jail yesterday afternoon. Roy Henry, who with Hartman stole two suits of clothes from H. M. Push, foreman of Jones Lumber Mill, was sentenced last Wednesday to nine months in the County Jail. Henry said nothing when the Judge asked him If he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced. Hartman thought Mr. Bush might give him a Job, and so informed the Judge. At that Judge Morrow, led him to be lieve he would be paroled. When he was brought into court yes terday, however, the Judge accused the lad of misinforming him as to the prob ability that he could secure a position with Mr. Bush, and sent him to the rockplle for eight months, sending word to Sheriff Stevens that the two young men ought not to be allowed to as sociate. S John Caldwell, charged with a felony pleaded guilty to a simple assault, and' was sentenced to four ' months In the County Jail. MILLINER SUES FOR $5000 Hat Maker Alleges Faith Was Not Kept in Lease. A two-year lease to store property on the ground floor of the Rummelln build ing, at Eighteenth and Washington streets, on the edge of the burned dis trict, is the subject of controversy in a lawsuit filed yesterday In the Circuit Court. Rose Daly, who conducts a mil linery store In the building, i the plain tiff, and Johanna C. Rummelln, owner of the property, the defendant. The milliner demands $5000, charging that the defendant has broken faith with her. She says she leased the store at 675 Washington street, February 15, for two years, at $33 a month for the first year, and $-10 a month for the second, with the understanding that the owner would not lease any other portion of the build ing for a millinery store. But in two leases, one to the National Manufactur ing Company, and another to the Chicago Cleaning & Dye Works, no restriction is made regarding millinery business. SEWER INJUNCTION RESISTED Alameda .Land Company Pleads Ne cessity for Immediate Drainage. Answering the suit of Ellis G. Hughes and the Prospect Park Company to secure an injunction to prevent the Alameda Land Company from connecting with the Irvlngton sewer, the Alameda Land Com pany alleges that? an extension is neces sary for the drainage of 35 acres Included in the Irvington sewer district It is admitted that the property in con troversy lies in the Sullivan Gulch sewer district, but it is asserted that the city will not build the Sullivan Gulch sewer for two -years, and that there Is now an urgent need of sewerage facilities In this district. The proposed sewer will ex tend from the present terminus of the Irvington sewer, at East Twentieth and Klickitat streets, to East Twenty-fourth and Fremont streets. The Alameda Land Company admits that the cost of the Irvington sewer was $142,107.95, but says it does not know whether or not the assessment to each lot in the Irvington district would be re duced by $2.40 if the lots in the Alameda tract were assessed for their share of the original sewer assessment. As the sewer extension, it Is alleged, is to be con structed in a lawful manner, and no land will be improperly drained into the Irv ington sewer, the defendant asks that the suit be dismissed. The city added its answer to that of the Alameda Land Company, saying the city, not the company, will construct the sewer, an ordinance having been passed In June for that purpose. It also alleges that the new sewer in Alameda Park will be connected with the Sullivan Gulch sewer as soon as it is completed, two years hence. Alameda Park property will be assessed for the cost of laying the new sewer extension, and Its share of the Sullivan Gulch sewer and other property of the company lying In Irving ton district is alleged to have been as sessed already for the Irvington sewer. Metal Company Sues.

Dietz and Edward W. Mueller, proprietors of the Minnesota Hotel, Fifth and Flanders streets. The company says 14,000 pounds of sheet metal stored In the store at 290 Flanders street was too badly rusted to use. Logging Firm Asks Damages. To secure payment for a raft of saw logs, said to have been deliver! Sep tember 30, 1909. the Axe Logging Com pany filed suit in the Circuit Court yesterday against James E. Page.

WOOD BARNS TABOO Councilman Watkins Anxious to Save Horses. ORDINANCE TO BE OFFERED Burning to Death of 1 8 8 Animals In Exposition Fire Leads to Effort to Prohibit Frame Stables. Fire Limits to Be Extended. Frightful loss of life among horses in Portland within the past few years and the burning to death of 188 of them in the Exposition building Thursday-morning has led Councilman Watkins to de cide to present an ordinance to the Council, prohibiting frame construction of stables henceforth. Those now In use will be compelled to go out of business July 1, 1911, according to the proposed provisions of this measure. Councilman Watkins will also intro duce an ordinance, extending the fire limits to include all the district that was burned In the big fire of Thursday morning. Mayor Simon placed his indorsement upon both proposed ordinances and urged Watkins to proceed with them as rapidly as possible, as he declares it is neces sary to have both passed soon. The ordinance to extend the fire limits will probably be made as an amendment to the Belding ordinance, which pro vides for the extension of the fire limits to the harbor lines all along the water front. Fire Chief Campbell is not prepared at this time to say Just how far he thinks the fire limits should be extended. Mayor Simon regards this as an oppor tune time to complete the work of ex tending the limits, and If there is need for extending them in other directions than those stated, he wishes it done now. The proposed ordinance to be intro duced by Councilman Watkins to pro hibit the construction of any more frame stables will take effect, in all probabil ity, very soon. It will probably be passed at the next session of the Coun cil, and will carry an emergency clause, so that it will become law the moment Mayor Simon signs it. He will sign it at once, undoubtedly, as he has given it his hearty indorsement. Within the past few years there have been several very disastrous fires in liv ery stables in this city, hundreds of horses having perished In the flames. The last one, however, was the largest loss of horses in the history of Portland. BUOHTEL WOCliD SAVE HORSES Ex-Chief Proposes Plan to Release Them When Fire Begins. Joseph Buchtel, who was chief of the Portland fire department several years ago, has devised a plan for the protection of horses In livery stables, which he strongly urges should be adopted In Portland. He urged it upon the attention of the Council 15 years ago, and brings it forward now In view of the great loss of horses in the recent fire at the old Exposition build ing. Mr. Buchtel would have the Council pass an ordinance for the protection of horses. He proposes that stables shall be built so that each horse shall be hitched to a perforated pipe ex tending along the head3 of the stalls in the barn. The halters are to be attached to a ring from the pipe so that by the movement of a lever at the end of the perforated pipe every horse can be cut loose. By the same movement the pipe is filled with water which forms a spray at each of the stalls. By thus unhooking all the horses and turning on the water at the same movement every horse Is driven out of the stalls. The perforated pipe can extend through the barn and any number of horses might be attached to it and yet all might be unhooked and driven- out of the stalls at the same time and movement of the same lever. "Humanity, if nothing else," declared Mr. Buchtel, "would insist that some such protection for horses should be provided. The idea that horses should be fastened in a stall to perish by fire is amazing and outrageous. I doubt If there is a barn in Portland from which horses can be saved If the barn burns. They must stand and be burned alive this most faithful of all animals to the human family. A horse may be driven out of a barn by water but not by fire, and the spray from the per forated pipes would both drive the horses from the stable and help ex tinguish the fire, but the object is to save the horses from being burned alive. I would be glad to provide the drawings of the plans I propose. It "would necessitate some changes in pres ent barns, but all new ones could con form to the plans with little additional expense." SHEPARD WILL GO EAST Hood River Man Will Get In Touch With Apple Buyers.
