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. The familiar letter. A. A C.

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.

minutes was the noisiest in the history
of the firm and in response to numer
ous notifications thit the scows wera
on their way," launches were dis
patched to the scene.
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.

MILES MEDICAL. CO, Elkhart, Ind.
Astoria today, reports having spoken
February 14 the schoner Willie A. 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.

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.
Recommendations were yesterday made

In general cargo from the Orient, the
British steamer Strathlyon yesterday
entered at the Custom-House, and the
Alliance did likewise from Eureka and

PAINFUL & DANGEROUS
. 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. Book on
Rheumatism and any medical advice
f rs to all who write.
