Is the transfer of titles from the several
old companies to the new. As the prop
erty acquired by the new concern la
scattered through counties In Oregon.
Washington and Idaho, this task is one
of great Importance.
Arrangements also are being made to
change the lettering on all the equip
ment, which, when It is considered that
the rolling stock and other chattel
property Is of an Immense quantity, also
looms up as an undertaking of some
magnitude.

Lovett Saya New Company Incorpor
ated to Meet Demands.
NEW TORK. Nov. 25. R. S. Lovett.
president of the Union Pacific Railroad
today gave out a statement explaining
the purpose of the Incorporation In Ore
gon on Wednesday of the Oregon
Washington Railroad & Navigation
Company. The new company Is capl
tallzed.at $50,000,000 and is controlled
by the Union Pacific.
Judge Lovett's statement says:
"The Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company mortgage, which limited the
bonds issuable under it to $24,000,000,
made no adequate provision for new
lines. Consequently, branches and other
extensions have been constructed from
time to time by a separate corporation,
so that the system In Oregon and
Washington, while operated as a nnlt.
Is really owned by several different
companies, whose stock is held by the
Union Pacific
"The purpose now is to vest the title
to these several pieces of railroad In
a single corporation and provide for
further construction and expansion to
keep pace with the rapid development
of the Northwest by an issue of bonds
nnder a mortgage that will cover an
entire and compact system.
"No arrangementa have been made
for the Issue of such bonds. We are
merely getting ready to deal promptly
with conditions as they arise. We are
taking similar action, and for the same
reasons, with respect to the Oregon
Short Line system in Utah, Idaho and
Montana."
STRAHORN TfiXTATIVK HEAD
North Coat Official Will Not As
sume Charge of Operation.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Nov. 25. (Spe
cial.) The Oregon-Washington Rail
road Navigation Company, the hon
ing company for the Harrlman rail
roads In the Northwest, will be oper
ated by Robert E. Ktrahorn. of Spokane,
president of the North Coast Railroad;
J. D. Farrell, of Seattle, president of
the Oregon tt Washington Railroad,
and J. P. O'Brien, chief representative
of the Harrlman system in Oregon, who
become vice-presidents In charge of
operation of the three divisions. It is
an established custom with the Harrl
man system for the vice-president to
assume the responsibilities of opera
tion. Tb selection of Mr. Strahorn as one
of the division vice-presidents in
charge of operation Is believed by
Spokane railroad men to be only a
tentative arrangement until the i-.orth
Coast Railroad la completed.
Strahorn does not pose as an operat
ing official, but his forte Is financing.
For that reason It Is believed Mr.
Strahorn will not assume active charge
of operation of Union Pacific lines In
Eastern Waahlngton and Idaho.
Judge Robert S. Lovett. president of
the Harrlman lines, will be president
of the Oregon. Waahlngton Railroad
ft Navigation Company.
Construction work of the reorganised
railway system, while It will depend
largely upon the successful floating of
a new bond issue, will be extensive In
ltll. The sections of grade of the
North Coaat south of Spokane will be
connected next year and the line built
through to Spokane

the percentage for the former being
39.4 against 31.8 for the latter.
Portland and Seattle will be added

OLEO LAW IS CONTESTED
BCTTKll TIB AND FEATHER BED
INVOLVED IX CASE.
Woman Hides Package With T"n
cancelled Stamp; Dealer Contends
Crime Was Not Proved.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25. Out of the
incident of a butter tub In a feather bed
may be evolved by the Supreme Court
of the United States the law of the
land relative to the retail trade in oleo
margarine.
John A. Rippor, of St. Louis, Mo., who
possessed a retail dealer's license to
sell oleomargarine, was suspected of
violating the oleomargarine act of Con
gress of !) Revenue officers searched
hia residence. Upstairs tn a feather bed
waa found an em-pty oleomargarine tub,
It waa alleged that the tax paid stamp
on .the tub was Intact, In violation of the
aw. Mrs. Ripper said she had put the
tub In the bed when she saw the officer
In the house.
Ripper was charged al with having
sold to the post hospital at Jefferson
Barracks, an Army post. 24 pounds of
oleomargarine, when it was alleged that
the law limited him in such eales to
ten pounds. He was convicted on both
charges and sentenced to six months im
prisonment.
On his . behalf it Is contended that the
act of Conrress may make it an offense
to empty an oleomargarine tub without
d.troying the stamp thereon, but It does
not make It an offense to have a tub
with an undeetroyed stamp upon It In
one's possession. It Is also contended
that a retail dealer may sell more than
ten pounds of oleomargarine at one time
to a customer.
