TWO ROADS TO USE
LINE INTO CANYON
Hill and Harriman Interests
Pool Issues as to Mal
heur Right-of-Way.
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. He haa certainly set the
pace for artistic, finished singing for
Portland baritones.

been entirely cut off from communica

The storm was the worst that has
been known in this locality for many

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

likely that some of the mall to Cooe

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."
