COMMON-USER PACT MADE rtn Extension of Burlington' Northern Branch Into Southern Idaho Is Talked Of Outlet Would Bo Cl-ven. TVhfn the proposed new railroad la built through Malheur Canyon in East ern Oregon It will be used by both the Harriman and Hill syatems, according to the most recent report concerning the tranaactlon by which a atrip of right-of-way 70 miles In length wa transferred by the Bolee & Weetern Railroad, a Hill corporation, to the Oregon Eastern, a Harrlmanlnatltution. While the property virtually become a Harriman poseeaalon. giving that aya- tem the ownerehlp of a contlnuoua passage through what haa been termed the key to the Eastern Oregon rail slt- uatlon. It la underatood that a common user agreement will be entered Into with the HIU Interest. Neither party to the tranaactlon ha confirmed or denied the report, ezcept to ur that the road will be built by the Herrlmena However. It la dmltted on all sides that there la nothing In the altuation that will prevent aa aareement whereby the rival road may operate Ita trains over the propoaed new tracks. Idaho Outlet In Prospect. Even this arrangement, however, would leave Hill without an outlet In Western Idaho, but this. It la believed, can be supplied by any one of several routes now receiving consideration. Already there 1 some talk of a west ern extension of the northern branch of the Burlington Into Southern Idaho. Thle would provide the desired outlet for the east-nd-west road through Ore gon and give Hill reason for continuing hla hold on Malheur Canyon. Persona close to the builder of the Great Northern system declare that his aale of the 70-mlte atrip provide no reason for concluding that he has given up his purpose of Invading Eastern Oregon. William J. Hanley. of Burns, who Is said to be as close to HIU a anyone not directly connected with hi official family, talked when be was her last week of hie possible construc tion of a road south of the Malheur Canyon route, providing for a connec tion with the Deschutes line, which is now heading for Ben-kand which prom ise to be extended ftt a southerly di rection aa soon as the line at present projected la completed. Eastern Connection Xot Known. This, though, atlll leavea Hill without an Eastern connection, but his associ ates do not seem to conaider this as point that need occasion him much grief. That the Eastefn outlet will be forthcoming as soon as the Oregon line is. built la the opinion held by all who are acquainted with the situation When It became known that both Ynads were endeavoring to secure rights of way through Malheur Canyon. Il wa thought that perhapa another conteat irh aa marked progreaa through the nesrhutes Valley would be witnessed In that section of Oregon. But the Des rhutes experience probably has taught the railroads a lesson. It 1 not likely that another war of that kind ever will be waged. Where one set of rail wtil auffice for the buatnesa of two sya tema. two tracka will not be built. The attitude of all competing Unea now la to oppoee each ether in aervlce after the roads are built and not before con struction Is begun. So It eeems entirely reasonable that an arrangement whereby the Hill line ran enter the Eastern part of the state over the Harriman tracks will be com pleted. If this Is not done there I nothing to prevent HIU from Invading the rich and resourceful country south rf Malheur Canyon over a line of hla own. It Is believed that the bualnesa of that aectlon will support two sep arate roads, built far enough apart ao that each can develop a aeparate aec tlon. Stevens Expected Home Today. John F. Pleven, head of the HIU roa1 In the Northwest. Is scheduled tn return to Portland from a month'a tay In Chicago and the East today. He la expected to give some Information with reference to the plan suggested for the Joint usage of the proposed Mal lierr line. J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the Harriman Unea In Oregon, said last nlc-ht that the transfer of title In the 'A-mlle strip through the canyon gave the Ilarrtmans sole ownership to the property and predicted that when the road la built It will be owned entirely by the Harriman system. He admitted, however, that a traffic or a common user agreement la possible. No definite stepa have been taken tn construct this piece of track, but It la believed that the authorization of the line wtll be one of the next ateps of the Harriman officials.

GOLDEN VOICE NOT LOST GOGORZA XETER IV BETTER FORM THAN YESTERDAY. Baritone Charms With Magnetic Per onallty and Artistic Sldll on Return. Golden voiced as ever and singing with magnetic personality that was note worthy for Its artistic excellence. Emilia de Oogorxa, baritone, gave a return concert-recital at the Masonic Temple audi torium yesterday afternoon, before an enthusiastic audience that honored him with a dosen recalls. The concert wa under the direction of Lola Steers-Wynn Conu. If Oogorxa had so wished, be could have had two dosen recalls, by simply appearing before the audience and bowing his acknowledgments but ha sang hla encores. Instead. Someone recently circulated a story that Oogorxa had lost bis voice, but the fact la be only Buffered at that time from the effect of an ordinary cold, and aoon recovered. He never aang better than yesterday, and he bas sung in Port land many times. His voioe waa dowered with added sweetness and tenderness. and he lived up to hla reputation as be ing one of the beat, golden-voiced bari tones of America and a really great vocal artist. It was a kind, almost affection ate, welcome Oogorxa got when he first appeared. He was received aa a friend. Although the concert waa announced aa a return event, the programme was composed, virtually, of new and spark ling selections, in which many contrast and moods appeared. Handel' "Where E'r You Walk" waa Oogorxa' opening selection, and be soon made the recital hall ting with the splendor of his fin ished vocallsm. The Caldara and Moxart numbers which followed revealed tender finish In Interpretation, while the Tschalkowskv Deception" and the Strauss Cecllle" received the necessary dynamlo force. In singing the prologue from I Pagllaccl. Qogorxa looked as Impressive aa If he Just stepped from the painting by Titian or Valasquez, ef a dashing, rollicking Spanish cavalier. Oogorxa used his knowledge to good ef fect of the falsetto up to high F. n In vesting the Paladhlla "Susanna" with soft, tender expression. His encores were: "In Calesa (Alvarex). a repeti tion In part of the Leoncavallo number; Drink to Me only, and Matunata (Alrarei). The accompanist ana sola pianist was E. Robert flchmltz. of Paris, whose piano performances were very acceptable. Gogorsa's next concerts are at Ban. Jose and Denver.

(Spe cial.) Coos Bay for several days has been entirely cut off from communica tion with the rest of the world. On ac count of the storm the telegraph and telephone wires have been down and no mall haa been received for two days, and there Is little proepect of any mall reaching here for many hours. Out going mall has likewise been detained, and the only means of getting letters out waa by the steamships. The storm was the worst that has been known in this locality for many years. In the towns the enow was three Inches deep, and It ia reported that there is six feet of snow on the summit ot the Coast Range, making a complete blockade. The last report waa that no mall has reached the half way atatlon for three daya. so it Is likely that some of the mall to Cooe Bay may be a week delayed. The telegraph and' telephone wires went down when the storm began. A message from Port Orford states that the storm waa general down the coast'of Curry County and the southern part of Coos County.

Curiosity Draws Victims to City Jail, and Bond of Sympathy Makes New Friends. Lodge of sorrow was held by the Brotherhood of Easy Marks, at the City Jail yesterday and was well attended by prominent citizens. The occasion was the incarceration of Edward Walch, Worthy Bunco of the order, who from his quarters in a narrow cell received the greetings of the members with great equanimity. When Walch was . placed . behind the bars by Detectives Carpenter and Price, Friday afternoon, they said he had levied contributions from 100 members of various lodges in this city. Officers on duty at the Btation now think that the detectives placed the number too low. Every half hour during the day some weighty citizen, carrying a folded copy of the morning paper, entered the head quart e r s roorohastilysaylngln I'd like to see if this fellow in the paper Is the one that did me up." Woodmen, Redmen, Foresters, Elks, Masons, Owls, Moose and all the orders winged, feather, furred or antlered, were represented. Some promising friendships were struck up over the head of Welch's offending, old neigh bors back East were reunited and sis ter's cousins discovered their relation ship. Each visitor had a view of the wily Walch. Ingratitude was not in Walch's composition, for he never failed to ac knowledge his obligation to the visitor, smiling sheepishly, and retiring to the back of his cell as soon as decently he could. Walch and his wife pleaded guilty to a charge of vagrancy Saturday morning and are being held for trial under a statute which makes it a misdemeanor to use the name, insignia or signs of any fraternal order to secure money or other favors. None of the victims wished to appear against the offenders, and it is prob able that they wni be punished under the vagrancy charge. "I work for the Portland Electric." said one victim, "and If they knew what a mark I was, I would lose my job." "Do not let my name be known," pleaded another, ' the boys at the lodge would never get done joshing me." On the Canary Islands the soil Is so r rh that it Is devoted almost exclusively to the cultivation ot the vine and trults and most of Ihg frod Is Imported.
