TITT3 MORXIXG OREGOXIAX TUESDAY. PECE3IBER 27, iJiu. 1 HY. R. & N. WILL HAVE TWO TRACKS Portland - Deschutes Division to Be Developed as Busi - ness Increases. SURVEYS HAVE BEEN MADE f-rrrrsl Tunnel Will Have to Be Cut and Heavy Grading Will Be Xecrweary. Aocordlnc to w Coropanj'a rians. Within the nx! four or five . year trie tllno of the Orswn-WaBtalnsjtoft Railroad Narlsstlon Conrmr b Portland and Ifr-hu- distance of 104 mllea win b double-tracked and arrangement will hare been rr.Vs to eatend the second r-t of rails toward tbs eastern boundary f the state It Is probable the work to Desrhutea will bo completed within one or two rears, bat so definite 'plana to this end are been made. When the new Peninsula tunnel U com pleted, eoon after the first of the Tear, the recently-constructed lino from Port land to Trontdale can be ued a a sec ond main line and while It will not lr ellrl the track up Sullivan's irulch can , vrry wtll erve in a general double-track plan. Part of the work on the donble track. 14 mlles lor., between The Dallea and Ive-chutea already ha been dona and will be completed early In 191L several "Lions" Are la Path.' Surrey bare been made between Troutdale anad The Dalles and thla work can be done on short notice. The dls ' tance from Trootrtale to The Dalles Is only 1 ml.es. Some difficult enirtneerln .' will be encountered In bulMlnir thla piece 'of track, aa several tunnels will have to ' be cut and vtw heavy p-rsdln will bo ne-esry. The feat, however. Is not at all Impracticable and could be aecom ; pilled, with less difficulty than has at tended mn-h of the other railroad work done In the Northwest In tha last few yeaia. Estimates of the coot. It Is said, hare been on file In the Hartiman offices- for some time. It la understood the policy of the new company la to build a email amount of second track between Troutdale and The Iallea each year until the entire project Is completed, but stiould necessity Je mand the trap of 7 miles could be closed In Inw than one year. e With the evcr-Uirreasine; volume of buslneea on the otd O. K. N. Una. the need of the second track has been ap parent for sereral yea-a. With the ex tension of several branch roada south from the main track the necessity has become mora pronounced. Second Track Will Bo Needed. Whan tha Deschutes line Into Central Orecoa Is eoronl'tf'd sufficient ad-led busmen will be handled orer this road to Justify the Immediate building- of the second set of ralla. It is believed. If the business Is not obtained at the start the development that will be given the In terior portions of the state as a result of the Deerhutea extension Is expected to provide ft la the course of three or four year. Onsietantly-lncreajrlns; trar!e between Portland and the towna of Biatern Ore aoa and the growth of the business from the Kast tnto this city also are consid ered factor In the movement of Harrl iran officer to build the double track over the mnst-ueed portions of th road as earty as possible. Whether th work east of Deschutes will be done In the next four or five years derend g-rwatly upon the financial pro em of the new corporation. Tha East ern officials. It la understood, have In mind the further extension of the lines In Oreaon and Washington and several pmjecta now are belna considered that wtll be taken up before the parallel track Ins la given definite attention. (tome of the work In Eastern Oreeron will be finished first, but thla very de velopment, it I expected, will five ad ditional cans fur double-tracking. It has been tha ambition of some local officer of tha company to see two seta of rails side by all the way from Portland to Huntington. The completion of the stretch between this city snd Iowchutea will leave nearly three-fourths of that undortakin Incomplete. Tet It Is expected the necessity for the work on the eastern end of the road will arise much more rapidly and become more pro sounced than that on the western end. While officers of the company Mate they expect to see double-tracking- com pleted eventually, nothln definite baa ' yet been done. PERSONALMENTION. J. O. Park, of Dayton. Is at the Ore- -gon.

SINGERS STIR EMOTIONS No Matter How Gloomy While Walt lug? In line. Each Mart Emerge From Banquet With Light of Hope Shining; In Eyes. Vlotlms of hard luck enjoyed Christ mas dinner st the Portland Commons yesterday. On thousand tickets were distributed but hungry ones without clieoks were welcomed. Dinner was served to 7B at a time In the combination dining- room and chapel and continued from 11 A. M. un til 7 P. M. A double line formed outside the door, stretching; nearly half a block, long- before the first dinner was served. As each croup entered and the line moved up, its length was not dimin ished, for new arrivals took the places of diners and there was little differ ence In Its length until almost tha last call. In the line of hungry men were all types of humanity, tha discouraged man who had known better days and the man who still Is struggling and trying to maintain his dignity; the Il literate and uncouth, who nover had a chance In life, the vagabond by choice, the sullen man who had "done time." who furtively glanced around to see If a policeman was watching him. the bloated Inebriate and men ot all nationalities. Each Emerge More Hopeful. Some smiled, some were sad-faced and serious: aM were hungry. No mat ter how they, came to want, it was their only Christmas treat and in many Instances it seemed almost vital to physical welfare. And no matter how depressed and gloomy they were while standing In line, each emerged from the dining-room with a beaming coun tenance, each a batter, more hopeful man. While the diners stowed away soup, chicken, pork. beef, mutton, oyster dressing, cranberry sauce, green peas, mashed potatoes, apples, oranges, cake, pie, nuts, raisins and coffee, a choir sang old familiar songs. Many eyes were moist during th feast. Th har dened fac softened, a nw light dawned. If only for a moment Then came the exodus and Christmas cheer went with It. Merchants and others donated liber ally to the dinner and there was plenty for all Occasionally a man was ao oused of getting In lln twice, but If he did he was not barred. Among the donations most highly prised by Superintendent W. G. Mac Laren were several dollars contributed by men who had wandered Into the Commons, braced up and again took their place In society, and among men of their old class. These offerings, though small, were Invariably accom panied with best wishes for other un fortunate. It was the third annual Christmas dinner of the Portland Commons. Three years ago Superintendent MacLaren rented a small room, 35x60 feet, across the street from the present quarters, and divided It Into a dormitory with 10 beds and a chapeL Within six month after the start, which was made against much advice from charitably Inclined persons who questioned the policy of the Institution, ;t grew so that the present quarters, a three-story building with basement, was rented. Beds ar provided for 350 men and meals are served at a nominal cost. Louise Home Has Dinner. Besides the big Christmas feast, din ner waa provided for the Inmates of the Louise Home, a similar institution for girls. This was a home affair, for those now In the Louise Home and girls who have lived there. In addition to these- spreads !04. boxes were sent to the state peniten tiary at Salem, one box foe each two prisoner. Each box contained one cake, a quart of fruit, two glasses of Jelly, four oranges, four apples and nuts, raisin and candy. A dinner was also sent to the Industrial Farm, where ex-conrlcta are given a chance to lift themselves from the old environment and escape stigma 6f a prison record.

Smallpox has broken out in the Greek settlement across the Willamette, on the West Side. A workman In one of the paper mills visited Dr. TV. E. Carll for medical attention today and upon exami nation the doctor discovered that the man was suffering from a mild attack of smallpox. A soon as the doctor was e&tlefied of tho nature of the case and was Informed as to where the man lived his residence being outside the city In Clackamas County he at once sent for Dr. J. TV. N'orrls. the county health officer, and turned the case over to him. Dr. Norrls at once sent the man to his home and placed him under quarantine, setting a watch over the house, so that there can be no spreading of the disease.

The And Now the Railroad Pays the Bill Forty-Six Upright Pianos Marred or Bruised Either by Derailment or Collision Go on Sale Today at Exactly Half Price. Must Be Sold Before Saturday. "We will accept yonr proposition, then. Yon sell the pianos for what they'll hring, and we'll make good tha loss." These are the -words of the railroad claim. . agent, and is the basis upon which opt claims for damages to two car loads of pianos, which arrived Friday, are to be settled. Troubles never come singly. Ten dayB ago we were busy clos ing out forty - two . Chickering pianos which while en 'route from Buffalo to Dnlnth, came in contact with some fumea of chemicals in the hold of the steamer which dulled the finish. - ; We still have for sale several of these instruments. 1 But now comes a still more serious mishap. Two carloads of pianos have evidently experienced collision or derailment. Pianos became loose in the cars, one instrument rubbed against the others, causing serious mars at certain points of the pianos where they came together. ' Like the Chickerings, these pianos are perfect so far as the interiors are concerned. We so guarantee them. But the cases are marred, in a few instances very badly. We close our books on December 31st. We do not wish to carry these pianos over into next j'ear. A piano cover will hide the mars on many of these pianos. Others more seriously scratched and gonged we will sell now with an agreement to fix them np in our shops in tbe best possible manner as soon as possible. Bnt every instrument must be sold before the year's end so that we can make proper accounting of our loss. Hence this offer. These are the prices: Irrespective of how much or how little they may be damaged, we'll accept for these Pianos, cash or convenient little payments, exactly one-half their established or usual retail price. That ia to say; , . . $150 secures any of the $300 styles. $212.50 secures any of the $425 styles. I $137750 seenres any of the $275 styles and Three very fine $550 pianos may be had for $275. Here is a situation where the first comer has the advantage. Some cases are more bruised than others. The first comer will select the most desirable instrument, of course, so come at once. Do not put it off, for if every reader of this advertisement who has no piano could only realize the exact conditions, we would have every piano sold before evening tonight. Sale commences at 10:30 this Tuesday morning." KELERS MTTSIO HOUSE, x 353 Washington St., at corner of Park. Portland Flouring Mills secured the contracts on bran and shorts, the bran price being $24.80 a ton and the shorts $26.80 a ton.

A man may scrub himself a dozen times a day, and still be unclean. Good health means cleanliness not only outside, but inside. It means a clean stomach, clean bowels, clean blood, a clean liver, and new, clean, healthy tissues. The man who is clean in this way will look it and act it. He will work with energy and think clean, clear, healthy thoughts. Ho will never be troubled with liver, lung, stomach or blood disorders. Dyspepsia and indigestion originate in unclean stom achs. Blood diseases are found where there is unclean blood. Consumption and bronchitis mean unclean lungs. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery prevents these diseases. It makes a man's insides clean and healthy. It cleans the digestive organs, makes pare, clean blood, and clean, healthy flesh. It restores tone to the nervous system, and cures nervous exhaustion and prostration. It contains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs. , Constipation is the most unclean uncleanliness.
