"out of Portland might be formed to oper
ate In a manner almllar to that which
will be assumed by the new Oregon -"Washington
Railway Navigation Com-
pany. which will control the Harrtman
roada In the Northwest.
"Such a scheme Is very likely to be
carried Into effect. he said. "It would
greatly simplJy the work of accounting
: and of operation and would effect a
great saving. I would favor such a move,
but know of no definite action that has
been taken to carry It out."
included In such a merger will be
the North Bank, the Oregon Klectric,
the I'nited Katlwaya. the Astoria
Columbia Klver road and eventually
the Oregon Trunk and whatever lines
are attended from these. Mr. H1U de
nied anv intention of operating any
of the two electric llnea by steam, and
spoke hopefully of extending the serv
ice on all of them.
lie did not speak In tha laast encour
agingly toward the Idea of having tha
Milwaukee road operate over any por-
tion of Hie Hill system either In enter
ing Portland or In reaching any other
1 portion of the Northwestern territory.
: 1 never heard of such a thing." ho as-
Y aertcd, "l never heard cf It- "Of course
it la possible that such a thing mleht be
dona. Anything of such a nature Is poe
slij. But it Is not probable not at all
probable."
Mr. Hill, who, also controls tho Burling
ton S)tt-m. ridiculed the Idea of that
road Bocurlng an entrance Into San Fran
cisco by a possible agreement with the
Western Pacific. Tlila suggestion came
from St. Paul the same day he left there
for Portland. It contained the intima
tion that the Burlington would operate
from Penver west to (Jruml Junction.
Colo., via the Colorado Miiiland road,
which became a part of the Burlington
system when the Colorado Southern
waa absorbed. From Grand Junction, It
was said, the Burlington would run over
the Denver Rio Crande tracks to Og
den and thence to San Francisco over the
new Western Pad lie.
That's all rubbish rubbish. de
clared Mr. Hill as he raised his hands
to express dlspleaaure at aurh an idea.
I don't know of anything of the kind
ever being talked about Mr. Harris,
who Is with me. I don't think knows
anything about It, and he certainly
would have to give hla corsent to any
move the Burlington would make."

Hill said also depends largely upon
conditions of the future, lie included
that project In his statemehta with
reference to all the future improve
ments bcond Bend. He talked very
optimistically of nil the country
through which the great illll system
operates, however.
"Oregon has a good outlook, he
said. "1 am clad to ere that the peo
ple are taking such an Interest In the
development of their state. I am glad
to see the people of the East taking;
such an Interest. I am glnd to see
by the census returns that this state,
aa well as Washington, has grown so
wonderfully In the last teu years.
"But there Is one thing that I don't
like to see. It is the presence of so
many people In the towns and cities,
compared with the number In the
country. I want to see the farms taken
up and the country settled. If we set
tled the country, the cities will take
rare of themselves. There Is much
land In Oregon that can be taken up
and developed and upon which people
can make so much better livings that
I am surprised thut more people right
here In l'ortland and the other cities
of the state don't take advantage of
these opportunities."
Although Mr. Hill arrived late, he was
In consultation with John F. Stevens,
president of the North Bank Road, for
nearly two hours before retiring. Even
at the conclusion of their conference,
l.e found time to walk about the lobby
of the Portland Motel, where he greeted
a number of Portland people he knows.
He also showed much Interest in the
Portland souvenirs on sale there and
selected a few picture post cards.
Together with the inemlwra of his
party, he will he u the city for two
or threw dacs. Inspection of the local
proiertv will be made 'and before he
leaves, he intimated, he may come to a
conclusion as to further extensions and

that what the city wanted from Mr.

for Its concessions.
The Council, at Its meeting, took up
arlous features of the Broadway bridge

of bonds for the bridge, the sale to
take the place of that recently rejected

The ordinance authorising the Mayor

cil proceedings yesterday were some that
the O. R. & N. wanted so It might lay
tracks to the new Harriman bridge and
in the complicated trade that had been
planned, which Included the vacation of
various streets for terminal yards for the
company, rights of way for the Broad
way bridge and other concessions on the
part of both the city and the railroads,
the granting of these franchisee: became
a feature.
Councilman Lombard moved that the
franchises be taken from the table for
the punmse of indefinitely postponing
action on them. This brought out a
general sentiment that the Council should
refuse, temporarily, to grant them, pend
ing a settlement of the Broadway bridge
matter.
On the ground that the railroad bridge
would be a benefit to the city. Mayor
Simon suggested thut some definite ac
tion should be taken on the franchises.
"I am not here ea the champion of
the O. It. & N. Co.," said the Mayor,
'but I believe the company is entitled
to certain rights and some consideration.
The building of the bridge is for the
use of the public and the city will bene
fit from It. The company has asked for
the franchises and some definite action
should bo taken, either by refusing or
granting the franchises."
Replying to the Mayor', Councilman
Baker said:
"We want to build a bridge, too, but
the railroad companies want all sorts of
concessions In return for rights of way,
and I think It is time we were showing
the company that we have something to
say in the matter."
The effort to have the matter In
definitely postponed was lost.
Councilman Cellars made his objections
to the arbitration plan proposed by Mr.
O'Brien, when the question of postpon
ing the action on the ordinance authoriz
ing the Mayor to negotiate for rights of
way was being discussed. Mr. Cellars
believed that the city should be satis
fied with nothing from the company ex
cept a direct business deal. He also ex
pressed later his belief that some
changes should be made in the proposed
franchises that the O. R. & N. wanted,
but no general discussion developed on
this.

Twenty-eighth-street bridge, over Sulli
van's Gulch. On motion of Councilman
Mcnefee. the Council yesterday morning
authorized City Attorney Grant to bring
stilt against the company, by which it
hoped to require the company to pay
about J20.000 to the city aa a result.
Until it was decided to reconstruct the
bridge, the company maintained tracks
across It. When demands were made on
the company to pay a portion of the cost
of the bridire, the reply waa given that
the cars had not been operating across
the bridge and the company had no use
for It
"I have positive proof," said Council
man Menefee, after the meeting yester
day, "that the cars have been operated
over the bridge. Anyhow, the company
has a franchise over the bridge and can
not relinquish it without the permission
of the Council. Such permission has
never been granted."
The bridge was built at a cost of about
l!5,000, and was recently accepted by
the eity. which had various defects re
paired before It would pay for it.

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Information of Importance to Everyone
A great deal of pain and suffering
might be avoided If we had some knowl
edge of physiology and the care of the
body particularly those parts that do
the most work and should always be
kept strong and healthy.
In an Interview with a prominent
physician he states that people should
pay more attention to their kidneys,
as they control the other organs to a
remarkable degree and do a tre
mendous amount of work In removing
the poisons and waste matter from the
svstem by filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an Indoor life, the kid
neys should receive some assistance
when needed, as we take less exercise,
drink less water and often eat more
rich heavy food, thereby forcing- the
kidneys to do more work than Nature
Intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such aa lame back, inability to hold
urine, smarting or burning, brick-dust
or sediment, sallow complexion, rheu

The Supreme Artistic Pianos of Today
There is as marked development shown in
the art of piano building as in any line of himan
endeavor. The highest type of yesterday is not
the highest type of today. Old standards are
transcended, new ones take their places.
In buying a piano, you want that one which
is in the van of progress today, the highest type
which has vet been evolved.
The Mason & Hamlin through its exclusive
