IMMEETHIES
Fl
Line Being Built From Cohas
sett May Be Used, Through
i Traffic Agreement.
ROUTE IS WELL REGARDED
ArrauRcmont With O. It. St X. Co
or North Rank Will Be Necessary
for Dm Which Officials
Are Said to Faror.
i To otl'.li the line now under con
struction between Cohaasett end Kenne-
Irlcli. Wsh- as- a mean of entering
Tortlanrf. throuith a traffic agreement
.with either the O. R. Jf. or North
".Bank, llnea. Is mM to be a scheme pro
need by the Chicago, Milwaukee
yal Sound Railway.
This theory has been advanced re
cently because of the presence In Port
Band last week of president Karllng of
he Chicago. Milwaukee Pt. Paul, the
awent road, toa-ether with President
Williams of the sytem In the North
west, and the seemlnc perltent efforts
of the officer to fain an early rail
connection with this city.
; Much of the line south of Cohasaett
Jias been completed and little extra work
Is necearT to extend It to Kennewlrk.
where the Northern Pacific has a bridge
ertr the Columbia, to Pasco. A line
would have to be built to connect with
.the O. R. N. at Wallula or some other
convenient point. ,
Haste Not Explained.
The unaccountable haste of the Mil
waukee In extending- the work on the
Col.a-ioett line a year a CO last Summer
never has been explained and It la still
fcellerrd that this was but another step
In the endearor to strike Portland In
the most direct route from the East.
The line as surveyed runs along the
"west bank of the Columbia, 'striking off
' Jnto the mainland only where the river
horseshoes" north of Hanford. it taps
rt-h arrtcullural region which never
hmm had rail service, and In addition to
affording a means of reaching; Southern
Washlncton will serve as an excellent
feeder to the main line road. But why
It aliould be desired to have this feeder
built more than a year ago. when tne
main line wae not yet completed re
mains an unanswered question.
The road , to Kennewlck first was de
s'sned as sin electrtc line, but when the
Milwaukee bonht It. the Idea to convert
It Into a steam system was announced
and as such. It undoubtedly will be op
era teA.
Taconia Eastern Acquired.
At about the same time, the Mil
waukee took over the Turoml East
ern road, which strikes off to the south
from Teen ma toward the foot of Mount
St. Helens. While ostensibly this road
was acquired to afford a base from
which to build the Grays Harbor exten
sion, which President Karllng Inspected
last week, it also save riie to the theory
that an extension to the road from north
of the mountain to the Columbia River,
opposite Troutdale. nita-ht furnish an ex
cellent means of entering- Portland. It
waa pointed out at that time that the
wnershlp of the Oregon Water Power
lines aa well as that of the Milwaukee
svstem could be traced to the Rocke
feller Interests and that an arrange
ment whereby the tracks of the former
could be converted to the use of the
latter, would be an easy transaction.
While entrance to the city over this
route would not be Impossible. It would
fee quite difficult and contrary to the
methods the Milwaukee has used In
fcaildlog up Its lines In the Middle West.
Yet. It Is known that this scheme has
received the consideration of heads of
the system and that some stepa will be
taken to carry it Into effect In the
event that the plan to come In over one
ef the roads running west from Pasco
falls.
Kennewlrk Itonte Prrfrrred-
But there are two very good reasons
why the Milwaukee prefers the Kenne
wlck routing to that of the Tacoma sV
Eastern.
The first Is that the Milwaukee always
nas been a great road to build feeders
to develop the country through which It
aUrea.ty passes, thereby Increasing Its
own business. If any money la to be
spent, the policy of the company has
fceen to pay It out for new tributary
roads rather than In expensive engi
neering feats. If any reasonable agree
ment can be made with either the North
Jiank or the O. it. N. Company to en
ter Portland It Is believed that thla will
t-e done and that the matter of securing
Its own rail connection with the city
will be deferred-
The second reason la that or operat
ing through Tacoma. as the Pacific
Eastern line would necessitate, the Mil
waukee would have a line to the East so
much longer than either the Ilarrtman
or the Hill systems that It could hardly
compete with either of these for Eastern
bcsioess.
Freight. Iloute Short,
" rr its connection with the O. R. K.
at Plummer. Idaho, the Milwaukee now
has a freight route to either Chicago or
fit. Paul over miles shorter than any
of the other roads. The tendency would
fee to decrease this mileage rather than
Increase It.
It has o-en declared by Milwaukee of
ficials that their ultimate desire Is to
Hare Portland KM miles, by rail, from
flt. Paul and IIW miles from Chicago.
While the Kennewlrk-Cohassett Una
would add to the present mileage It
would be much shorter than any of the
other routes that have been suggrated
nnd e-veattaUly would permit of sub
stantial reductions.

Many session of Various llarrlrnaa
Corporations Will Be Held.
Arrangements for the formal trans
fer of the property of the O. R. N.
Company to the r--ently organised Oregon-
Washington Railroad Naviga
tion Company were made at a meeting
ef tb directors of the new concern In
Je company's executive offices In the
V eils- argo building yesterday after
boon. A number of sessions of both the
old and the new corporations will be
necessary before the actual delivery of
the vast possessions of the one com
pany Is made Into the hands of the
other, but tne final meeting, at which
this interesting and Important trana
artlon will take place, will be held In
this city within the next two weeks, aa
It has already been determined that
the It. W. shall start business en Sat
urday. Pecember -4.
A special raeeflng of the stockhold
ers of the O. It. N". Compsny has
teea called to take place In thla city
Thursday. December II. for the pur
roe of aathorlzlnv and ratifying the
aa.e. It la thought that the actual sale,
ajrhsa Uie stockholder of the O. R. et
R PDRTLANDLINK
N". Compsny are paid a consideration
for their property, will be held on the
following day.
In what manner the shareholders In
the old company will be paid for their
holdings has not yet been oeiermineu.
hut It Is nresumed thst they will be
riven stock in the new concern. The
Individual owners of small blocks,
should they so desire, can receive cash
for their holdings.
On the morninr of December 14. work
under the new regime will start. Al
accounts and payrolls of the O. R. 4
N. Company will be closed forever on
the evening of December 13. When
the army of employes go to wora. m
next morning they win have a new em
nlover.
A vast number of changes In the
telegraph departments have been or
dered. to conform with the new ar
rangements. Plans hsve also been
made for a chance In the lettering on
the rolling stock and on the depot prop
erty and offices at various places.
CHANGE OF TRAIN--T1ME AS RED
Alanxath Falls People Ak to IlaTe
Convenience Served.
v.rrhmti of Klamath Falls have
Betltloned the passenger department of
the Southern Pacific for a change Id
the time of the train operating between
that city and Weed, which would cause
It to leave there at noon eacn aay in
stead of at 8 o'clock In the morning.
At present the only train carrying
mail Into Klamath Kails arrises there
at 7:30 In the evening. Business men
generally do not get their letters until
the following morning. Replies, there
fore, cannot leave the city until the
second morning- after a letter arrives.
The change. It Is pointed out. would
enable them to answer Important mall
on the same day It Is received.
The reauest Is being considered by
the officials at Pan Francisco, as the
district Is In the Jurisdiction of the
department In that city. Because the
proposed schedule probably -would re
sult In less satisfactory connections
with the main line trains at Weed. It
la feared that the change cannot be
made.

Suffering
From Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Instantly Believed and Permanently
Cored by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
A Mew Discovery, bwt Sot
Medletae.
a Patent
Dr. Redwell relates an Interesting
account of what he considers a re
markable case . of acute stomach
trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the
use of the new discover', Stuart Dye
pepsla Tablets.
He says: "The patient was a man
who had suffered, to my knowledge,
for years with dyspepsia. Krerythlng
he ate seemed to sour and create gases
1n the stomach. lie had peine like
rheumatism In the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
sfter eating, poor appetite and loss of
flesh: the heart became effected, caus
ing palpitation nnd sleeplessness at
night.
"I gave him powerful nerve tonics
and blood remedies, but to no purpose.
As sn experiment I finally bought a
60-cent package of Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tableta at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost Immediate relief was
given and after he had used four
boxes he waa to all appearances fully
cured.
"Thore was no more acidity or sour.
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he haa
gained between 10 and 12 pounds In
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
"Although Sauart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets are advertteed and sold in drug
stores, yet I consider them a most val
uable addition to any physician's line
of remedies, it they sre perfectly
harmless and can be given to children
or lnvallda or- In any condition of the
tomach with perfect safety, being
harmless and containing nothing but
fruit and vegetable essences, pure pep
sin and Golden Seal.
"Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for Indiges
tion, blllousnse. constipation and all
derangementa of the stomach, however
slight or severe."

Keames and Heard are Medford busi

Don't Rub the Life
Out of Your Clothes
Sprinkle a little GOLD
DUST in the water, and let
the GOLD DUST Twins
do all the hard part of the
task. GOLD DUST starts
to dissolve and lather the
moment it strikes the water;
it starts to cleanse the
moment it comes in contact
with the garment. It in
stantly softens the hardest
water, saves rubbing, saves
wear and tear on clothes, and
does most of the work with
out your assistance.
Use GOLD DUST next
wash day, and have whiter,
sweeter, cleaner clothes, with

the time.
