THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21. 1911. OF Business of Railway to Be Merged With North Bank on March 1. STEP IS TOWARD COMBINE Effect of Merger I to Giro Spokane Direct Rail Communication on One Line to Sea by Way of rortland Gateway. After March 1 the Astoria Colum bia River Railroad will be out of bull osas, all Its afTalr then beins; mersed In the hands of tha Spokane, Portland Seattle, or North Ilank Railway. Prorlilon for thla tep wai made at the recent meeting- of director of the North Bank road. lielU at VancouTer. when Louis W. IIIIU president of tha Great Northern. was here a few weeks ao. It la the first step toward the eneral consolidation of all the Hill linea tadiatlns; out of Portland Into on largo company. After March 1 tha Oregon Electric, the I'ntted Hallways and the Oregon Trunk also will be more closely related to tha North Rank, as all the stock of each of those three companies will be held In the treasury of the North I tank. The electric lines and the Deschutes Valley I'n will continue, however, each under Its respective head and title, with John F. Stevens as president. General consolidation of tha smaller lines Is not contemplated for the Ira medlata future. With the consolidation also came an Increase In tha capital stock of tha North Rank to :.500.000. which will permit the Spokane. Portland Seattle Railway Company to Issue bonds for future development work In Oregon, fpon the ability to place these bonds depends largely the amount of new work that will be taken up within tha next few years. Amount of I-oan Xot Determined. It Is likely that the bond Issue will ba authorized at about the time that the merger goea Into effect, but the exact amount of the loan haa not yet been determined. That. too. will de pend somewhat upon tha condition of the market. With the merger of the Astoria Columbia River Una with the North Rank the latter road will extend from Spokane through to the sea. The oper ation of through trains, however. Is not contemplated. When tha coast Una. passes out of existence the question of the dispo sition of the 40-mile strip of right of way and trackage between Portland and Gobi aealn will have to be dis posed of. This property belongs to the Northern I'ariflc and. prior to tha .completion of 'the Vancouver bridge, was used by the road for the operation of Its trains Into Portland after ferry ing them across the river from Kalama. The Astoria ec Columbia River road used thla trackage by a rental ar rangement, building the continuation to the coast with Its own funds. Fre quently reports of the sale of tha Portland-Goble property have been made, but according to the original terms by which it was secured by the Northern raciflc. It will remain In the possession of the latter road. Northern Pacific Gains Territory. Tha continued ownership of thla property by tha Northern ' Pacific has given that road the exclusive right to solicit freight and passenger patron age In that territory. All goods con signed from the district were routed out over the Northern Pad fir. The ac quisition by the North Rank would have given the agents of the Great Northern, which Is a half owner with the Northern Pacific In the North Rank, in equal opportunity of soliciting busi ness there. While the most Important effect of the merger will be the opportunity that It will gtva the company for Issuing bonds, the most striking Immediate re sult will be the passing from exist ence of tha Astoria & Columbia Hirer road.

BRIDGElWDOOBT CHICAGO FIRM STILL- DELAYS ITS rUKCHASE. Mayor and City Auditor Believe Bondbuyera Will Reject Issue. Letter Is Received. "Wo have our attorneys looking In to the subject, with the expectation of taking the bonds." la the brief state ment made by a member of the firm of Farson. Son & Co.. of Chicago, to The Oregonlan correspondent in that city yesterday afternoon, relative to tha tSOO.000 worth of Broadway bridge bonds bid for by them. This statement's tone differs from that of a letter received yesterday morning by City Auditor Parbur, en closing a communication from a firm of attorneya who are to pass upon the legality of the Issue for Farson, Son ei Co. It was felt by the Auditor and by Mayor Simon and others In official circles that the letter might forecast the final rejection of tha issue. It asked for additional data and said that, with tha material at hand, the attorney felt they could not approve the bonds. "I am Inclined to take at Its full value the statement given The Oregonl an correspondent by Farson Son ft Co," said Mayor Simon when the ststement waa read to htm last night. "As there Is no Illegality In the pro ceedings. I feel that any reputable firm will favorably eventually on the Issue. I can see no reason why this Chicago Arm should reject the bonds." Data asked for by the Chicago attor neys will be forwarded at once by Ctty Auditor Barbur. This waa decided up on at a conference between him and the Mayor In the afternoon. When Mr. Barbur received the letter. It confirmed a belief that has been grow ing In official circles for some time, that Mr. Dunlway had laid before the bond buyers certain details that had caused them to hesitate about taking the Issue and probably to refuse tne bonds. "The letter." commented Mr. Barbur, "Is a peculiar one. The name of the attorneys for the buyers are not men tioned, but they avk for copies of the legislative art and the bill passed by Congress and for other data connected with the bond Issue which, it appears to me. they should have had long ago on their own Initiative. Tha attorneys say they have only examined the subject partially, ask for all of this additional matter and then end up by saying they do not believe they can approve tha Issue." The contract let recently to the Union BrMge ft Construction Company contains a clause automatically cancelling tha contract in case of failure of the city to sell the bonds for the bridge, so that there Is no danger of any complication from this source. Mayor Simon took the precaution to have this Inserted In case any emergency ahould arise. The substructure work and the clearing away of the approaches to the bridge are progressing rapidly, and will con tinue Indefinitely, a there Is -about 000 In the treasury for the purpose. BUNCO GAME AT BAKER Manager Ashley, . of Commercial Club, NMps "Deal" ln Hud. RAKER. Or, Feb. IS. (Special.) What Is perhaps one of the smoothest bunco games ever worked upon the commercial cluba and real estate men of Oregon has Just come to light through the Baker Commercial Club. About a month ago a letter was re ceived from Louis Vernier of Louis ville. Stark County. Ohio, In which ho represented himself to be a farmer In search of a location In Baker County, and stating that about thirty other far mers were also coming to this section to purchase farms. He stated that these farmers lived in several counties In Ohio and that It was considerable work to get thera lined up and that it required considerable correspondence, etc. He risked that the club mall him one hundred postage stamps so that he could write the people Interested, stat ing that It was his Intention to coma In March with a special car. He also asked that the club send him a check for 13 ao that he could place an ad vertisement In several of the rapers stating when the car would leave. He explained that this advertising would cost $11 but that he would be willing to pay S3 htrrrself. Manages Ashley of the Commercial Club wrote the gentleman that If he would send a list of the names litera ture would be mailed direct, but no re ply was received. The matter ha been referred to Postmaster Lachner of this place, who will take It up Immediately with the Federal authorities. Alhcna to Get Xcw Rridges. ATHBXA. Or- Feb. . (Special.)

Before one of the runaways could be captured It filled and sank, but as tha hull Is of unusual buoyancy the weight of the engine caused It to turn turtle and it did not disappear. It was taken in tow and beaohed near the North Pacific mill dock and the other was captured and made fast. The Wilhelmlne shifted from Albers dock In the mornlne; to discharge a portion of her general cargo and in the afternoon waa being returned to that berth. The scows were used In hoist ing cargo and no delay resulted, aa the Wilhelmlne reached the berth after the longshoremen had ceased work for the day. An examination of the sunken scow will be made today and It Is not ex pected that material damage will be found. M"tt TToy, superintendent for the firm, says that because of the odd construction of the scowa and tho fact that they carry heavy donkey engines. It I not unusual for thorn to give trouble In Winter when storms buffet them about. A large fleet la maintained here because of the num ber of cargo vessels often in port at a time and the are built small ao that they can be used to advantage along side vessels. RTANTEY DOLLAR DUE TODAY Clfapman Arrives to Arrange Matters for Traffic Department. Aboard the steamer Stanley Dollar, due In the river today from Balboa, Is 2100 ton of general cargo, mostly bulky rtuff. which was shipped direct from New Vork and Philadelphia While It Is the first full cargo to be handled In the new aervce vli the Isthmus of Panama by Bates & C'liesebrouKh. it Is not the initial ship ment, aa the California-Atlantic Steam ship Company has transhipped consid erable freight from Han Francisco to Portland on regular steamers. The Stanley Dollar Is to bercn nt Kerr. Glfford's section of the North Bank dock, but negotiations for a per manent dock have not been closed. J. W. Chapman, traffic manager, an J F. 1L Robinson, his assistant, have been in the city olnce Sunday arranging for the discharge of tha cargo and the loading of the steamer outward with lumber for the Government to be uaid on the canal. It is hoped to develop a large lumber business from Portland to the Atlantic Coast, as tho water rate is nearly one-half of the rail tariff, and If the patronage justifies it tha Portland achedule will provide for a steamer every two weeks. The next large ahlpment will leave New York March 21 and ba delivered here trom the Pacific aide of the isthmus direct. PACIFIC REBATE IX EFFECT War Declared Last AVcelt on Tramps by Regular Lines. Operation of tha deferred rebate sys tem on the Pacific Ocean, applying to cargo from Japan that Is destined for rail points in the United States, and may later reach shipments originating In China, went into effect last week on the basis of a refund of' 6 cents a ton. as decided on by the Pacific con ference, which includes the Portland A Asiatic 6teamshlp Company, Pacific Mall. Osaka Shosen Kalsha, Blue Fun nel. Nippon Yusen Kaisha. Toyo Tusen Kalsha. Great Northern Steamship Company. Canadian pacific Steamship Company and the Bank Line. It is said that tramp steamers of the Standard Oil Company and other cor porations have been so active In the Pacific trade, thereby securing return cargoes from Japan at rates decidedly below what are in effect on the regu lar liners, that this step was taken. It will mean that shippers giving all business from the other side tOy-the established lines will be paid the re bate, but If at any time they patronize the tramps the rebates cease. The companlea set up that they maintain sufficient regular schedules to care for all business and that they are striv ing to Improve the American-Japanese trade, but as the tramps carry their cargoes via the Suex Canal. Paci fic Coast ports reap no benefit. 1IOLDEV DAMAGED IX BLOW Virginia Reports Vessel Dismantled and Deck load Gone. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 20.

I suffered intense pains in my leftside and under the lett shoulder blade, I could nut sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath that I thourht I should never be able to take a full breath again.. The least excitement would bring on the most distressing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half-bottle of the Heart Remedy be fore I could see a marked change in my condition. I began to sleep well, had a good appetite, and im proved so rapidly that when 1 had taken six bottles I was completely cured.

Hold en, bound for Valparaiso from Puget Sound. The Ilolden was partially dis mantled and her deck load was jrone, evidently the result of a severe storm. The Ilolden Is thought to be headed for San Francisco. It Is believed that the Wlllla A. Holden sustained the d.amage in the gale of a week ago, as she sailed from Puget Sound February 8. and the samo day was reported passing Tatoosh. She followed the usual slant of windjam mers and stood out to sea, and that i taken as the reason why she was not sighted, by steamers of the regular coasting fleet. Reports made last week of the presence of floating lumber north of Cape Blanco Indicated that a vessel waa in trouble, but it could not be accounted for through any of the Columbia River fleet. IXSPECTOU IIELr.S SEARCHERS Patrol Seeks Bodies of Three Men Drowned Off Tafoosh Island. Search for the bodies of Forrest Cowan, Mrs. G. L. Talmadge and M. Waddell. who were drowned Saturday while on the way from the Cape Flattery light house in a small bout, to board a tug for the mainland, has been facilitated through an order Issued by Commander J. M. Elllcott, Inspector of the seven teenth lighthouse district, who has wired Lightkeeper Cowan, father of Forrest Cowan, who was assistant keeper, that the hunt can be conducted In any man ner that will not Interfere with the serv ice of the Cape Flattery light. That means, briefly, that the distracted father can use men at his command to patrol the beach and adopt such means as are within his power to reco-er the bodies, so long as the light Is looked after and navigators safeguarded. In the opinion of Commander Elllcott the bodies probably are being carried north by the current, which Is Influenced during the Winter and Spring seasons by the pre vailing weather, the trend being from the south. For that reason he thinks that they will be reported. If found. In the vicinity of Vancouver Island. Tele grams have been sent giving details of the accident and the head of the district has lent what assistance is possible. Doe's Fine Is Lowered Fines of $500 imposed on C. P. Doe, owner of the steamer Geo. W. Elder, and of $100 on Captain G. M. Jossen. her master, for having carried to hnn Francisco 175 passengers, when her certificate permits but 10 persos. have been reduced to $300 against tho owner and $25 against the master. In lowering the fines the Secretary of tne Treasury stated. In a letter sent to the San Francisco customs .officers, that the department considers the carrying of excess passengers as one of the most serious violation of the steamboat in spection laws. Xcw Pilothouse Is for Tender.

Rheumatism is due to a diseased condition of the blood cells and cor puscles, brought about by an excess of uric acid in the circulation. It is not only a very painful disease but art extremely dangerous trouble. The briny, acrid state of the blood gradu ally forms a coating over the muscles, and by depositing a cement-like sub stance in the joints frequently termi nates fatally, or leaves its victim a hopeless cripple. It is natural to "doctor " the spot that hurts, and it is quite right to use liniments, hot appli cations, etc., to get temporary relief from a painful joint or swollen tendon; but Rheumatism is not a skin disease, and such, things, when depended on alone make one careless, and the dis ease gets a firmer hold on the blood. S. S. S. cures the disease because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers. It goes into tne cir culation, and re moves every particle of the irritating uric acid, builds up the blood, makes it rich, and oily, and in this way pre pares it for the proper nourishment of all joints, muscles, nerves and bones. If you have Rheumatism, get the uric acid, out of the blood by taking S. S. S., a purely vegetable medicine, and enjoy freedom from its misery.
