To provide funds for carrying on the
ork authored by ll board of di
rectors of the I'nlon faclllc and South
ern Pacific railways at New York on
Tuesday, the directors of the Oregon
Waahlncton Kill road Navigation
fotr.pany to this city will meet soon and
or.ler an Issue of bonds of -..0i0.O00 to
1 1 )0. OOO.DOi), sufficiently large to pay
for all the new construction and de
retoprnt In Its territory.
Upon the response of the public to
tins Invitation to Invest In railroad se
curities will depend the speed with
which the work will be taken up.
It Is explained by lha Kastern offi
cials, as well as those In Portland, that
the approval of the plans outlined by
tfie Itarrlmaa chiefs In the Northwest
does not necessarily mean that work
Is to be started at once. The action In
New York Is only an Indorsement of
ti ls programme providing the funds are
tvallable.

The double-tracking from Omaha to
PortUnd and from Granger. Vo.. to

mates of the officials, will cost l.'i.Vl'O.
0. The Union pacific directors do not
mean to say. however, that they have
174.000.000 ready In their treasury for
dolnc this work. What they do mean
to say l that they have sufficient con
Rdenre In the present and future of
the territory traversed by this line to
Invest tha much money In It- Their
rspttal stock and undivided profits al
ready are Invested To secure additional
rash, bonds will be Issued.
This waa one of the purposes prob
ably the prime purpose of organizing
the O.-W. It. N. Company a few
months ago to Issue bonds. All of
the development work on the Hsrrl
man lines In the Northwest previous to
the merger was done by money appro
priated by the I'nlon Fact tic through
the Oregon S'ho: t Une. the latter com
pany being the real owner of the local
corporation. The O. It. A N. Company
had so nearly approached the limit of
the total debt that It could contract
that It no longer was able to prosecute
new work and called upon the parent
company for aid.
Whole Merger I Security.
Tty the organisation of the new com
pany all of the property Included In the
merger will be used as security for the
bond Issue that Is to follow the action
In New York on Tues.iay. Tha mon.-y
accruing from the snle of bonds by the
local coropanv will be used only on ex
tensions and Improvements affecting
the lines of this system, however. The
Oregon Fhort Une. the. I'nlon Pacific
and the Southern Paclfl.-. each In Its
respective place, will take care of Ita
own piece of road.
It Is expected that the money for the
ri ut!e tracking on the local svstem as
for as outlined bv J. P. O Hrlen. gen
eral manager, on Tucs-lay. will be avail
able early In the present year. The re
mainder, it Is calculated, will be forth
coming as fast as It la neeticd.
Funds for the completion of the pres
ent contracts of the Natron-Klama'.h
cutoff on the Southern Pacific, which
wi;l reduce the running time between
Portland and San Kranelsco, hare been
rrovkled and this work will be finished
early In the Hummer. This will leave
a gap about 79 miles long for which no
Immediate provision has been made.
The plana approved In New York. It la
believed here. Include those for thus
pleoe of track. If that work can be
taken up as soon as the tao lines now
under construction are rompletd. the
entire new line may be finished early

While Judge Istvett expresses confi

PAVING CONCERN SUED
DKI.AVS I.N" COMFLKTIXG WORK
VIZX ritOI'EUTV OWNKKS.
MrtlMHl of Companies Which Violate
Time Agreement Attacked la
r'ar-Krnclilng Action.
Continued delay In completing the
contract for the Improvement of East
Eleventh and Mllwaukle streets have
resulted In a suit against the city and
the Oregon Has earn paving Company by
the property owners affected. This ault.
which !e of far-reaching nature, all! be
fll-d today. Residents of the district In
question met last week, aa complaint of
faulty material on the work already
done had be-n current, and the present
suit, filed In the name of H. J. licllarts.
Is largely the outcome of that meeting.
A direct attack Is made In the com
plaint upon the methods of paving com
panies who take contract for a large
amount of afreet work and then per
form little or nothing wltl.ln the time
specified. It Is said that the II ansa m
Company has at present contracts for
I'.w.mu worth of Improvement. The
run tract for ll-e tao street waa let in
Mty.
The complaint enters at length Into
the ruling of the City council and Bxecu
tlve Board, by which. It la alleged, the
Oregon llaswm Paving Company la
recognised a owning all right to lay
Hassam pavement. or a pavement
similar In specifics ttons to that patented
article. It is alleged that paving equally
aa good aa ilaxeam may be laid profit
ably at X1.3 a square yard, whereas the
lloxsam Company's charge Is 1L75 a
yard. The complaint of the property
owner holds that this action of the
official haa encouraced a monopoly.
The method of Including grading and
other work with tt.e actual paving of a
street n also attacked. The only bid
upon Mllwaukie and un uevenui
street came from the Ha swam company,
that brand of pavement having been 'pe
el lied. The hid was for .iTU.T3. and of
XUm sum etS.77i.SI was for grading, curbs,
etc. The complaint calls attention to
the fact that under the circumstance
no other contractor could bid upon either
the laying of the pavement or the other
parts of the Improvement.
Both Mllwaukie street, from the South
ern Pacific right of way to Holgate
street, and East Eleventh street from
Hawthorne avenue to the railroad crow
Inc. were Included In the same Improve
ment proceeding. ,The resident of these
streets are taking the same action as
other property owners whose street have
been tied up by the paving companies,
and who are complaining of defective
paving or long delay.
MANY GET TAX REBATES
$11,000 Paid by Owners First Day
of Collection Period.
Eleven thousand dollar was paid In
by Multnomah County taxpayer yes
terday. The day marked the opening
of the period for I per cent rebates
for first payments and acorea of tax
payers were on hand to take advantage
of the saving. The sums paid ranged
from JIW0 down to 11 cents.
Rebates will be allowed until March
IS. l'ntil that time a special force of
deputies will be kept busy by I. t.
Rover, head of the tax collecting de
partment. Thnt those finding It Im
possible or Inconvenient to call at the
Courthouse may take advantage of the
rebate allowance, Mr. Boyer and hla
deputies will conduct a mall order sya

Simon from the North Pacific Terminal

The company Invitee the city to settle
the matter by a rutt to condemn and

letter received from the terminal com
pany Is similar to that received from J.

J. M. Hannaford Tells of Itallroad a
Plans to Get Share of Traffic

Is Improving.
PortWnd will be benefited by the
Panama-Pacific Exposition to be held
In San Francisco in 1915 in a measure
second only to the California town
itself, said J. M. Hannaford. second
vlce.presldnnt of the Northern Pacific
Railway and president of the Northern
Express Company, yesterday. He Is In
I'ortland for a few days on business.
Mr. Hannaford Is accompanied by F.
O. Prest, purchasing agent of the
Northern Pacific, who. while in the
riiv tt-in fttiitit.vnf to irranfffl for the
purchase of more supplies In the towns
of Oregon and Washington man nu
been the practice of the road In the
past. He is determined, he said, to
distribute more equally the money
spent annually by the Northern Pa
cific la Its incidental and operating
expenses and expressed the hope that
Portland would share In the benefits
growing out of the adoption of tbla
new policy.
Northwest to Re Advertised.
We are making extensive prepara
tions to advertise the Northwest In
connection with the San Francisco
fair," said Mr. Hannaford, who ha
charge of both the freight and pas
senger traffic of the Northern Pacific,
yesterday.
"Our aim has been to bring this sec
tion to the attention of the people
every year, regardless of the special
events, but since the big show of 1913
Is to be held on the Coast we will bend
every energy to induce our patrons, a
well a the exposition visitors who
may come to San Francisco over other
linea to travel through Portland either
going or coming. We are convinced
that we will gain a large proportion
of these as permanent residents of the
state If we can get them to stop here."
Mr. Hannaford further said that
while It was too early to predict what
action the Central Passenger Associa
tion would take with reference to rout
ing exposition visitor, he believed that
all the passenger agents or tne west
ern roads would strive to have a
Northwestern loop included on every
Journey at little additional cost.
Rose Festival Well Known.
Portland already Is receiving added
publicity as a result of the Rose Fes
tivals that have been held here In the
past five years and the railroads are
doing more than ever before to ad
vertise the 1911 event. According to
Inquiries In the Northern Pacific of
fices at St. Paul, he stated, the influx
of prospective settlers to this state
during the present year will be greater
than ever before in the road's history.
While here he exp- -ts to receive ad
vice from the meeting of passenger
agents which Is in progress In Chicago
this week with reference to the usual
reduction In fares.
"Our advertising cars that have been
touring the East have been sending us
flattering reports of their success."
said Mr. Hannaford. "Wherever they
have stopped people have vlMted them
by the thousands. Many of these have
asked for special Information on Ore
gon, and we figure that a large per
centage will come to the state to live."
Trade conditions along the line of
the Northern pacific are Improving, he
reported, although the freight business
from the West to Eastern points has
not been so heavy In the past year as
previously. This, he attributed to the
falling off In the demand for lumber.
Westbound Business Grows.
The westbound passenger business,
however, has made up anything that
the eastbound freight service has Buf
fered, indications are that the present
year will mark a decided Increase In
the passenger traffic to the Coast.
"From now until the exposition
opens," said Mr. Hannaford, "we will
keep eternally busy In exploiting the
advantages of the country along our
lines. We will not stop even then, but
will continue the good work until the
last curtain is rung down.
"As lortland Is the nearest large
city to S.m Francisco, this place natur
ally will get the greatest amount of
leneflt from the travel that comes
northward from the exposition city
and from that which passes through
the Northwest on the way.
'The benefit that this city will re
ceive ts second only to that which will
come to San Francisco itself."

I tne Government prohibited from
suing to cancel patent to timber or home

No great force of the Twentieth Century is so little understood as
the daily newspaper. For journalism, the most articulate thing
in the world, has kept silence about itself. You, the reader ot
newspapers, dependent upon them for your daily food of the mind
you are doubtless perplexed by the difference between journalism
as you find it, and journalism as you feel it should be. You do
not know the peculiar place of the newspaper m the structure of
modern society. You have never understood its perplexities.
Did a tragedy ever happen in your
family ? If so, do you remember how
you dreaded having the reporters pry
into your intimate, private affairs ?
Yet, you read with enjoyment just
such details of other people's tragedies;
and if your newspaper does not give
them, you stop it and buy one that
does.
But there's a line somewhere between
progressive journalism and impudent
journalism- Where should our news
papers draw that line ?
Collier's is going to answer that
question.

NAVIGATORS ARE FINED
Inquiry Shows Many Infractions of
Law by Seamen.
FORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Feb. 1.
(Special.) A vigorous campaign for
the enforcement of the navigation
lawa In this collection district, inaug
urated when Lieutenant Alexander as
sumed command of the revenue cut
ter Areata, is bringing to light many
Infractions with attendant expense to
those derelict in the matter of fines.
The small craft have proved to be the
principal offenders and launch owners
and operators have fallen under the
ban of official displeasure for various
shortcomings, principally an the mat-tec-of
equipment for life and fire pro
tection. Captain John S. Miller, first mate of
the Kdlth, a big freighter operating
between the Sound and Alaska, has
been fined $100 for serving aboard
that vessel under a license which
grants him tho privilege up to 2000
ton packets. The Edith is 369 tons in
excess of the size quoted. A fine of
1260, representing 60 cents for each
registered ton, has been levied by Col
lector Harper against the barkentlne
Gardiner City, now in the bay lumber
