Cal The Incorporator are J. P. O'Brien, vk-e-presliient and mineral manaarr of the S.mthrn Pacific llnea la Oregon and of the O. R. N.: Curtla O. Sutherland, tvalatant to Mr. O'Brien, and Jamra ti. Wtltnn. of the legal department of the Harrlman roads In this rliy. The construction of such a railroad was forecasted last April after Mr. :tBren and R. B. Miller, traffic man ager of the Harrlman lines In the Nor:h- west, returned from an automobile trip from Grants Pasa over the mountains i to Crescent City. . At that time Mr. O'Brien declr.red ; that there was no significance In the ; Journey and that the motive waa simply i that of seeing the country. As the two railroad officers chose a season of the 'year when their auto waa the first to traverse the Coast range of mountains since the preceding Summer, and as the trip waa arduous In the extreme, con , Jectures at once arose as to the possi bility of railroad construction In that territory. Kk-h Country on Line. The route of the proposed Grants Pasa at Western Kail road la through a coun try possessing a variety of resources "only partly developed. A short distance southwesterly from Grants Pass Is the Illinois Valley, which will probably be traversed by any railroad building from Granta Pass to Crescent City. The Il linois Valley, where land prices are now at very lw figures in comparison with other districts In Oregon. Is re puted to possess all the advantages of soil and climate for fruitraising held by the famous Rogue River Valley, to which It Is In close proximity. All the Illinois Valley lacks to place It on a par with other great fruitraising sections of Ore gon Is railroad transportation. Similarly situated In the aame locality are the Deer Creek and Apple Creek Valleys, the three comprising about MP. 0O acres that will be opened to In tense fruit cultivation with the. comple tion of a railroad, Copper Country to Be Tapped. Farther south Is a promising copper mining district and a smelter Is already established and In operation at the town of Takllma. In Northwestern Califor nia Is a great tract of redwood timber that would be tapped by the railroad. In 19u CoL T. W. M. Draper, of San Francisco, surveyed a proposed railroad ever the route outlined and acquired con siderable right of way. In Grants Pasa a terminal company was organized by local business men of that city, and 20 acres acquired which were to be turned over to Colonel Draper on the comple tion of the railroad. The San Francisco fire, however, caused such losses to the men backing the enterprise that it was prartlcally abandoned. Early In the present year, however. Colonel Draper became active again but Indications then pointed to Harrlman In terests as his backers. The seres held by the terminal company were pur chased outright and It was reported, at the time, that the tract was turned over to the Southern Pacific. It la known, too. that the Hill In terests, now owning the Pacific East ern, building easterly from Medford to a connection with the Oregon Trunk Une In Central Oregon, have had re connolterlng parties working southwest erly from Medford In the general direc tion of Crescent City. The probability Is suggested that the Harrlman road, convinced that Its rival Is headed for Northwestern California and possibly San Francisco. Is planning to connect with the coast lire building northward from San Francisco toward Eureka and owned jointly by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe. This connection would give the Har rlman road another route to San Fran cisco from Grants Pass south, making three In all from Southern Oregon points. l connecting with the main line loathe Willamette Valley. These would be the present line through the Siskiyou, the road via Klamath Falls and the Cres cent Cltv route, the latter two avoiding the heaviest grade of the present sys tem In the mountains of Southern Ore gon and Northern California.

ORGANIZATION ESSENTIAL Candidate for Governor Opposes As sembly, but Favors Designation of Candidates for Nomination by Parly Committee. Declaring that his fight for the Repub lican nomination for Governor of Ore gon was essentially a fight for organiza tion of. and government by, the Repub lican party. Senator Albert Abraham, of Roseburg, yesterday outlined the plat form upon which be will make his fight for the Gubernatorial chair. Senator Abraham Is arcs, anti-assembly candidate. His campaign slogan Is the "Hugiiea-Taft-Roosevelt plan." "I believe In government by party," said Mr. Abraham. "I believe no man should seek the nomination of the party who does not bejleve in government- by party and who Is not In sympathy with government by party, preferring. Instead. 'government by Individuals. 'I am not In favor ot the assembly method because the representatives are not selected by the direct primary plan. ' "Until now we have chosen to assume government by party was the only gov ernment, but we are confronted with La. large party contending party organiza Ptioa Is wrong. This at once makes ap parent the danger of nominating a can didate who cannot be elected at the gen eral election. Individuals differ as to who shall recelvw the party nomination and the proper method of giving that party nomination, but there should not for a moment be a suggestion that any one who Is opposed to government by party should be supported by the party. Hughes Recognises Organization. "A party rahnot exist without organ isation. Governor Hughes, of New York, recognised this. lie-realized the defects in our systei d In building the direct prtoiary w lork he showed the danger of those that he defects.' . Mr. Abrf 4tandtng on the Hughes primary I r ,(lsn. which has been in dorsed X t lu President Taft and ex- Presidoj!" .aoseVelt. Continuing, he out lined q plan: "Orgi. .ation Is essential to presecve party." a said. "Just as It Is to preserve government.. The weakness of our direct primary law lies In the fact that It pro vides no means of party government. "In framing the New York direct pri mary bills. Governor Hughes and those who stood with him recognised this weak ness In the Oregon plan and provided a plan of organization whereby representa tives of the party are chosen who recom mend or 'designate' candidates for nom ination at the direct primaries, and a means whereby the people themselves by direct vote select such representatives. What Hughes Plan Provides. "This plan provides." Jie went on, "for nominations by direct primary similar to the Oregon plan. - but with this differ ence: In addition to the method of plac ing -names on the primary ballot by pe tition, as under our system, provision is made for electing at the regular primary elections what are known as 'committees These committees hold office until the next primary election, and at a conven ient time before the primary following their election, they meet publicly and In a procedure regulated by law. 'designate candidates. : Candidates ' so 'designated' are entitled to have their names placed on the primary ballot -without the neces sity of a petition. This does not prevent other candidates from getting their names on the ballot by petition. "The choice of candidates is thereupon made at the primary election In the same manner ss under the present svstem In Ore ron- Several distinct committees are voted on at the regular primary election, such as state committee, county committee.- etc .One committee may not 'desig nste' another committee. The state com mittee 'designates' candidates for state offices, the county committee for county offices, etc The committees correspond In size to convention committees. Com mittees ca'nnot 'designate' their successors and all committeemen must go on the ballot by petition only.

"I will bet you $100 that you vote 'for the' Nelson fender at the next ses sion of the ouncll," was the startling remark made by Councilman Baker to Councilman Driacoll yesterday morn ing when the Council had under con sideration -the fender question. Mr. Driscoll had Just entered un usually Btrong objection to the report of the special committee, recommend ing the adoption of the device manu factured by the streetcar company. When asked by Mr. Baker what fen der he favored, Mr. Driscoll replied that he had no fender in mind. Mr. Baker then ' directed at him the re mark quoted. . "I think that any of the fenders are better than the one recommended by the committee," said Mr. Driscoll .on the floor of the Council chamber when the subject came up for action. I admit that it Is a good fender to kill people quick." Ordinance Goes Over. Owing to formal objections by Mr. Driscoll to the passage of the ordi nance on first reading, it went over until the next session. The special committee was discharged from fur ther work at its own request- It con sisted of Councilmen Lombard, Ellis and Ru'ihllirht. Objection by a member of the Coun cil caused the laying over of the or dinances regarding proposed street va cations for the O. R. & N. Company and proposed franchises for the right to lay tracks on certain streets on the East Side. Councilman Beldlng Introduced an ordinance to revoke the franchise of the Pacific Telephone Sc. Telegraph Company on the ground of poor ser vice. It was referred to the street committee. The Council voted to give the peo ple of Sylvan and vicinity an oppor tunity to ballot on the question of an nexation to Portland In the coming election. Captain's Pay Increased. An Increase In pay from $160 to $175 a month was granted to Senior Cap tain Moore owing to his unusual du ties as head of the detective bureau and the fact that he becomes acting chief In the absence of the head, of the department. ' City Attorney Grant filed an opin ion to the effect that the city has no right to repeal the action taken In the opening of Morrison from Chap man to Washington streets, on the ground that fire- destroyed one of the principal obstructions soon after the proceedings were complete. Damages of $18,000 were awarded the owners. Some of the Councilmen feel that the damages should not hold since the de struction of the building. The Council will meet In adjourned session at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morn ing to consider a proposed amend ment to the charter governing the lay ing ot water mains. CHINESE YOUTH LOVESICK -. Persistent Wooing, in Which Re volver Is Used, Leads to Court. Speaking good English, with great dig nity and self possession. Lillie Leito. a Chinese girl, told Judge Bennett yester day of the troublous time she had had In prevailing upon Jack Wong, a youthful and love-sick Celestial, to withdraw his unwelcome attentions. The subject came up in the form of an accusation of threat ening to kill. The girl said that Jack drew a revolver upon her In her room in the Goodnough building and fired it. Jack attempted to Interrupt with a de nial "You did too: shut up!" said the girl, fiercely. He had followed and an noved her repeatedly, she said. TThe love letters of the Cathayan wooers were presented. The girl's are as fine as ever penned by Laura Jean Libbey, while Jack's are a ludicrous Imitation of those of the Japanese school boy. B. S. Pague. attorney for the defendant, sought to impeach Lillie's testimony by show ing that she was an immoral wo man while his client was a man of good character. Judge Bennett held that any reflection upon the girl was equally an Indictment of hor former consort: that one could not be good and the other bad. Jack was held over until tomorrow, to give him an opportunity to Rive a bond of $500 to keep the peace. His attorney said that he had no tong and that It would be difficult to secure the bond.
