A 12 THE MORNING OREGOyiAX. SATURDAY, MARCH 4. 1911. J MID -SITE LINES BUSY WITH STOCK In First Month of Operation Oregon Trunk Vill Have Carried 100 Carloads. SAGEBRUSH TRIP NO MORE Central Oregon Farmer Waiting Long for llallroad It ash CatUo and Sberp to Market Steady Growth Is Expected. Fully 100 carloads of cattle and sheep will be shipped Into Portland from the territory drained by the nrw- ly-constructed Oregon Trunk Una be fore the end of March. While officials of the new line have reason to believe that handing of live stock In large quantities will be a reg ular Item of freight traffic, they realize t! t the hettjr handling- for March U not a fair estimate of what mar be ex pected throughout the remainder of the year. Many farmer and atockmen of Cen trai uregon have been holding their rattle and sheep all Winter, that they rr.lcht take advantage of the reduced freight rates over tne direct line Into Portland. As soon as this surplus sup. ply of stock Is removed the trade will become normal. However, It la ex petted that the movement will be an Important Item In the road's business every month and that It will grow gradually as the country develops. First Shipment Early. The first car of sheep wss shipped Into Portland from Madras Monday. February so. before freight traffic was Inaugurated regularly. Several other cars have been received here since then and traveling freight agents of the new line are now soliciting the shippers tor additional carload lots. FCeports were received In the gen. eral freight offices yesterday that "S cars have been booked for shipment before the end of March. It Is expected that the 100 mark will be reached with ease. Most of the stock coming into Port lind Is ready for slaughter, but some of it must be fattened before going to the stockyards. Now that the railroad has entered the Iwscbutes Valley, stockralslng la expected to become one of the principal Industries of that section. Heretofore farmers were discouraged In preparing cattle and sheep for market because of the difficulties In placing them on the railroad. It waa necessary to drive them many ml across the country and the trip had a damaging effect on t.' stork, causing the animals to lose many pounda In weight. Hard-Trip pays Over. Now It Is possible to place them on ears one morning and have them de livered In Portland the following morn. Ing over the Oregon Trunk and North Hank roads. This will preclude the ne cessity of unloading the stock for feed and water, and will reduce the cost greatly. Farmers thos will receive full market price for their products and will benefit by the sale of full weight Instead of suffering by shrinkage In sending stock across tlie sagebrush to the railroad. Many Central Oregon farmers have expressed an Intention of going Into the stockralslng business on a large scale because of the advantage In transportation they wtll have. While the cay of the big cattle ranch Is over. It Is believed tliat more stock than ever will be produced In proportion to the acreage. The Or gon Trunk Is preparing to handle this class of freight In large nuantltlrs. Special double-deck stock cars for handling sheep have been sent up the Deschutes Valley. Facilities for loading stork have been provided at Metollus. Madras and Mecca. Ijtrge yards have been built, feeding bins have been provided and gangways leading to the boxcars have been constructed. At Maupln. Sherar end ITKen accommodations for han dling sheep and cattle have been es tablished, bat extensive yards have not yet been built. Improved facilities will be established at all these places, and as the line Is extended south similar Improvements will be provided at all stock-loading points. stolen automobile early yesterday morn ing.

"All right." said Horger. who was drunk. "Juab, climb In." Sheriff Stevens mounted to the rear of the car and Horger threw In bis clutch.

Declaring that the long and honorable life of the late Judge George II. Wil liams and his great record of service to the city, state and Nation are such that Portland should provide some means of perpetuating bis memory. Mayor Simon yesterday morning pleaded with the members of Uie Park Board not to recommend to the City Council that the park at Mount Tabor be not called "Wil liams." The bos rd Anally filed a peti tion of Mount Tabor residents and a communication from the Council for a change In the name. Shortly after the death of Judge Wil liams, the City Council named the park at Mount Tabor In his honor. A move ment was started to erect a suitable monument there to his memory- It waa abandoned only at the earnest request of his family. The board referred to Superintendent Mlsche the subject of providing suitable improvements for Miliums Park, and he will report at a later date his recom mendations, lie Is opposed to play ground features for this property, al though some of the people living nesr there favor them. His idea Is that It should be in every sense purely a park. Grading on the Tcrwilllger boulevard In South Portland will be begun In the near future, the board having entered Into a contract with Gleblscli Ac Joplln to do the work at a cost of about SCU.V00.

Co. In South Portland, but nothing definite has been done. A representative of the Humane So ciety asked the board to consider the proposal of placing only stuffed speci mens of wild animals such ss cannot enjoy cage life In the too. She said that It as In keeping with the spirit of the time to cage no animals that require liberty, such as bear and lions. No action was taken but. the Mayor said he would ask the board to consider the suggestion. . Ford's Prairie Couple Surprised. CENTRA I J A. Wash- March 1 (Spe cial.)

Two factions of the Multnomah Bar Association are lined up for what promises to be the bitterest fight In the history of the organization at the adjourned annual meeting to be held tonight at the Courthouse., when the election of officers is to take place. A mild Insurrection was Incited at the annual meeting of the organisation Tuesday night, when l.wrlson Allen received a pluralty rote for president of the association. Alien la on the legal stall of the Oregon Klectrio Itallway Com pany, and for that reason his oppon ents accuse him of being Interested in behalf of the corporations and they fear, they say, that he will take ad vantage. If elected, of his position to fight various political reforms, such as the Initiative and referendum, and many other features of the "Oregon System." The Insurgent element of the asso ciation has concentrated Its support on A. K. Clark, vto has agreed to be a candidate for the position. It is ad mitted by leaders of both factions of tho association that personally Allen and Clark are men of excellent quali ties, and. while political Issues are making the contest spirited. It Is as sured that there will be no personali ties enter Into the fight. At the meeting Tuesday night. It was found that, there were only 23 mem bers present, while a legal quorum is 15. Thus the election of Mr. Allen at that time was declared Illegal. Allen 1C Joy and Charles Schnabel were men tioned as candidates at the Tuesday night meeting, but both have with drawn from the race, and are giving their support to Mr. Clark. One of the most energetic of the In surgent faction Is W. M. Davis. Mr. Davis explained his attitude yesterday by praising the personal qualities of Mr. Allen, but declaring that as Mr. Allen Is affiliated with a corporation he Is almost sure to be Influenced by their demands. Mr. Davis called attention yesterday to the speech made by F. V. Holman, attorney for the Portland. Railway, Light & Power Company, while ho was president of the Oregon State Bar As sociation, In which Mr. Holman made a strong attack on the Initiative and ref- rendum svstem. This speecn, air. Davia said, had been printed In the re port of the association and went broad cast over the country as representative nf the attitude of the association. It Is the fear that Mr. Allen may take such advantage of his position, said Mr Davis, that he Is opposed to nis De ing elected president of the Multnomah County Bar Association. "When Mr. Allen first came to Ore gon we became friends." said Mr. Davis yesterday. I did wnat i couia i in Him in nractlce at St Helens, and I Kn aiwavs liked him as a man, but almply on grounds of policy I am op- posea iv nil dtiuh When Mr. Allen wss interviewed yes terdiv he denied that he would represent corporation Interests If he Is elected as president of the bar association. "I don't know why I should be ln- enrvacltated from serving as president of the bar association simply because I am one of the legal representatives oi a corporation." said Mr. Allen, "i nave agreed to become a candidate for the position upon tne request oi a. nmuci of the members of the bar association. The men who have urged me to accept the place In case I am elected, are not Identified with corporation "iiwcou In any way."

I'or First Time Surh Display Has Hoon ITcld In Department Store West of Mississippi River. The "Made In Oregon" exposition which ham been In progress on 4he fourth floor of the Meier & Frank store for the past week, and which will continue for at toast another week, has proved to be one of the most attractive exhibits of the kind ever shown In this city. It in the first time that such a show has been held In a department atore west of the Mississippi River. The show Is a worthy representation oi what the Manufacturers Association is dolus; to build up the manufacturing in dustries of the city and state, and the various exhibits represent some special feature of nearly every line of goods manufactured here, ao that the visitors to the show have a good Idea of what our fiictorles are turning out. The exposi tion also will have the effect of instill ing Into the Oregon people the Idea that they can get "made In Oregon" goods for almost every need. The working exhibits attract a large number of people at all hours of the day, and tonight, being Saturday, it Is expected that several thousand persons will vkilt the spacious showroom to see the exhibits. The principal working ex hibits are those of Neustadter Broex, the Pettlt Feather & Bedding Company, the Portland Rice Milling Company, the Northwest Blowpipe Company, the West ern Mantle Corapiny. the Coin Machine Manufacturing Company, TSlllamette Tent & Awning Company and the Paclflo Stoneware Company. A large number of exhibitors are dem- onstrstlng their goods and these booths are aJwaya surrounded oy persons to learn more of the superiority of "made In Oregon" goods. One of the unique features of the exposition le a model steel bridge built on the lines of the new Broadway bridge. This exhibit is shown by tho Psclllc Iron Works, The bridge Is a working model and shows exactly how the bascule type of bridge opens. It is airrereni irom anyining now In operation In the rsclnc Northwest euid is of a design highly approved by engineers. The exhibit of leather products is worthy of special mention. W. H. Me Monies & Co. harnera manufacturers. show some fine examples of hurneas and their product Indicates why Portland to day Is the second largest harness-making city in the United states. Another leather exhibit la thst of the Davls-Preultt Com pany, manufacturers of lesther belts for large and small machinery. Some of the belts ahown are of the waterproof variety and are two feet In mldth. The cloth exhibit of the Thoma Kay Company of Salem and the uniform and ciat ciuiiiiiig vAiiii'ii vi iiisi if i.uuif r ; Hon attract considerable attention. The cloth shown Is really very fine and com 1 pares favorably with the best products of Eastern cloth mills and shows what ore. gon can do in the way of making textiles. The waterproof products of the Coopey factory are ahown made up. Fine woolen clothe are made perfectly waterproof by thks form without Injuring or In any way changli.g the appearance of the fabric. The furniture exhibits attract a great deal of attention. They have been a groat educator during the week, many visitors commenting upon and expressing surprise that the furniture made by the local factories compares favorably with the best product of the celebrated Grand Rapids furniture factories. One exhibitor shows a splendid line of "made In Oregon" stoves and another shon'i some safes and vault doors that are the equal of the product of any Eastern safe manufacturer. The exhibi tion of building materials Is especially representative. The Central Door Lumber Company and the Multnomah Lumber 4c Box Company have splendid exhibits of mill products. Native and Im ported woods are shown completely finished for the construction of home and the finishing of offices, while the ssbestos products of the Glllen-Cham-bers Company and the brass products of the Oregon Brass Works show what Portland factories In these lines can do. 1RG1' NOT CREDITED NO ONE COULD "DELIVER" ORE GON", IS OPINION. Positively Xo Truth In Colliers Story, Says Mr. Fulton Xo Prom Ue Made by Williams. C. W. Fulton. ex-United States Senator, does not credit the story published In Colliers Weekly to the effect that Ralph E. Williams, Republican National Com mitteeman for Oregon, has promised a solid Taft delegation In 1912 In return for the President's promise to thwart the will of Senator Bourne, who wishes the removal of P. 9. Malcolm, collector of customs at Portland, and Elmer B. Colwell. United States Marshal for Ore gon. Neither does Jumes M. Ambrose, C. W. Nottingham. W. J. Clemens nor James D. Abbott credit it. Laughter of the kind which is pro voked only by a sense of the ridiculous burst from Mr. Fulton when he was asked If he credited Colliers story. He said he did not believe there were half doxen men In Oregon who believed they could make good such a promise. "I know positively," declared Mr. Ful ton, "that there is not a particle of truth in the statement. There may be some persons who believe they could make good on such a deal, but If there are they surely must be suffering from some pecu liar brand of Insanity." 'I heartily agree with the ideas on the question held by other Republicans as published In The Oregonlan of this morning." said James M. Ambrose. "I do not believe there la a word of truth In the story. Under present conditions it would be Impossible to make good on such a bargain, so why any penson should preunie to make it I fall to understand." 'Bourne has merely been getting a little free advertising of the brand which fits in with the ideas of the editor of Colliers Weekly," said C. W. Notting ham. "I do not think that anyone In Oregon would be fool enough to believe that he could deliver the delegation for whomever he wished. Personally, I re gard the article as an underhanded slap at President Taft." Tf some one will explain to me some way of Inducing men to attend a National convention as delegates and there break the Instructions given them by the peo ple at the advisory primary I might take some stock In the assertion that Williams his promised to deliver the delegation," said James D, Abbott. "I think Colliers simply publishing what is termed a pipe yam.' I believe that Williams Is too Intelligent a man to take himself seriously as this would Indicate if It were true, xr.e delegates are to be elected by the people snd instructed for whom to vote snd It would be absurd You have heard . their name seen them smoked you must have but did you ever fairly try MOUTHPIECE The man whose tobacco training brought forth this superb cigarette was exceedingly well versed in the subtle qualities of good tobacco.
