Wn'T.'th. movement from tha nall
rterle of travel In tha Kt will be
llBht. on the Western roads tt will be
enormous, requiring special ears on all
the regular tralna and a series of spa
rial trains for several day. Prepara
tions on tha part of tha big rail lines
entering the Northwest have been In
progress ever alnca tha new rata waa
announced.
Klve points In tha United Statea will
a-t as gateways to tha land of prom
ise and opportunity in tha tranaporta
tloo of colonists. These ara Chlcaes
M. Louis. St. Paul. Kansas City and
Omaha. Eaet of those cities tha In
creased travel will be distributed over
so many lines that added service for
Its accommodation is not necessary.
Travel Will Be Segregated.
Virtually all travel from tha .East,
the Atlantic seaboard and tha Saw
, ... leads through eltner
Fnaland states leaaa u
J? .
Kaneas City receives most or J"
from th. South
the East. It la th. center for many
rati lines, causing a large !"
t tourist, to chanae car. there.
Knough business Is expected from Col
orado and Western Kansas to make
the operation of special car out of
Penver advisable- Such arrangement
already have been made.
Tha advance ruard of coloniata will
arrive her. Sunday mornln. These
will come from points m the Middle
West and on the Missouri River. The
stream will steadily swell with every
Inrntntna- train of Sunday and Monday
and will rearh Its greatest volume on
Tuesday, when the first special train
win errle over tha O.-W. R. & N. Una
from Omaha. Other specials arriving
on Wednesday and Thursday will keep
tha size of the Inromlna- delegations
up to that established by Tueaday'a
special.
Beginning and End Busiest.
Th. rush, no doubt, will be greatest
on the first three or four das and on
the last four or five days. Tha In
termediate period, too. will witness
the arrival of several thousand new
rltliens. but the experience of former
low-fare periods haa proved that mora
people take advantage of th. rates at
the beginning and at th. end of th.
period during which they are In effect
than In the Intermediate weeks.
Arrangements hare been made to
accommodate the traffic at the I'nlon
Iepot In Portland so that all arrivals
may be handled with the maximum of
convenience, enabling thera to reach
their destinations with th. least pos
sible delay. While all parts of Oregon
are evpected to receive a share of th.
colonists, th. central portion of th.
state, which recently has been opened
for settlement through the building of
two new rallrt-ads. no doubt will take
tha greatest number.

PAVING R0CK APPROVED
Mayor and Engineer Do Not Indorse
Rushlight Objection.
Mayor Simon yesterday morning ac
companied City Engineer Morris on a
trip of inspection of the Ilassam pave
ment being laid on East Eleventh
street, against which Councilman Rush
light lodged verbal complaint In th.
City Council meeting laat Wednesday.
It had been charged that dirty rock
was being used for tha base.
I find .v.rythlng satisfactory." said
Mayor Simon, after his Inspection. "I
have examined much of the rock my
self and can see nothing wrong with It.
Undoubtedly, Mr. Rushlight does not
understand the manner In which the
company handles Its work: there Is
some dirt In th. rock when it. is dumped
on the street, but It Is forked over
and th. dirt is all removed and after
that the rock la all washed with a hosa
before It la finally roiled for the base.
That which la washed Is excellent and
I see n. good reason for any com
plaint." The rock being used on East Elev
enth street la as good as any on earth."
said City Engineer Morris, "and I have
no fault to find with the work. Tha
loud complaint mad. by Mr. Rushlight
may have been mad. for political pur
poses or some ether equally good reason."

Steam Service to Be Inaugur
ated Today, Eastward as
Far as Sandy.
WAGONS PUT IN DISCARD
Work on Road Now to Co Ahead
Wllh Far Greater Progress.
Power Plant on Peninsula Will
Be Completed by May 1.
Steam service will be Inaugurated on
th. lin. of the Mount Hood Hallway &
Power Company from th. Oregon
Water Power crossing eastward -toward
Randy today for the first time
since construction of thst road was
started. All work heretofore has been
dona with wagons.
Much progress has been mad. In con
struction work In the past few weeks
and with the aid of a steam locomotive
and cars operations can proceed much
mora rapidly.
C. B. Smith, chief engineer of the
road, returned yesterday from a two
weeks' absence In the East and at
once renewed with characteristic vigor
his efforts to have the work In all
departmenta rushed. H. received re
ports yesterday afternoon that the con
tractors on the new steam power plant
which is being built on the peninsula
are making good time on that lob and
that the plant will be ready for opera
tion by May 1. This will be used to
supply the power patrons of the com
pany until the big plant at the Junc
tion of the Sandy and Bull Run Rivers
is completed, which will be about Octo
ber 1. The peninsula plant will gen
erate 400 horsepower of electricity
and almost enough orders already have
been, received to use It all. The con
cern'! first power customer Is Balfour,
Outhrte Co. and temporary ar
rangements have been made whereby
this plant will be supplied through the
machinery of another mill In the city
until th. new service Is ready. ,
Franchise Grant Pleases.
Reports of granting the company's
franchise In Vancouver, Wash, were
received by Mr. Smith with much satis
faction. "I expect now that we will be getting
similar treatment In Portland." said he.
"Then wa will be ready to arrange for
starting business over tha streets
here."
According to the present rata of
progress the track to the Big Sandy
River will be completed by April 15.
Tha Bull Run powerhouse should b.
reached then about May 1. While no
plans hav. been made for th. exten
sion of the line beyond that point there
Is no doubt that Brlghtwood and other
places east of there eventually will be
on the Una of th. Mount Hood road.
It Is projected all tha way to Mount
Hood and ultimately Is expected to tap
the fruit and agricultural country In
the valleys of that district.
The track Is laid from the Oregon
Water Power crossing, eight miles east
of Portland, for nearly IS miles and all
the grading to the projected terminus
at Bull Run has been completed. Tha
new steam train that will carry rails
and other material will run on thla
section of th. road. The wagon service
for handling heavy material will b.
discontinued.
Grading to City Completed
As soon as th. tracklayers reach
th. end of the line they will be brought
to Portland and put on th. eight-mil.
stretch between th. city and th. Ore
gon Water Power crossing. The grad
ing for thla piece of track up to the
city limits and to where It Is proposed
to enter the streets In completed. Ralls
have been ordered from the plant of
the Colorado Fuel Iron Company at
Pueblo, Colo., and will start to move
March 15. They should arrive ' here
about April 1. By that time the city
franchise should be ready for passage,
think the company officials, and work
on the streets through which the Coun
cil grants them tha right to operate
will commence. .
If the franchise Is granted In time
service Into the city can be Inaugu
rated as early as June I, said Mr. Smith
yesterday. Cars will be delivered here
before that date, tha track easily can
be completed and as the power plant
will be ready this feature Is tha
only on. that possibly can stand In the
way.
R. C. Glllts. chairman of the executive
board of the company, who haa charge
of the business in Portland, Is In the
East at present but is expected to re
turn to Portland within a week.
During his absence Mr. Smith stopped
at Winnipeg, where the firm of Smith,
Kerry Chase, of which he is the senior
member. Is erecting a CO.OOO-horscpow-er
electric plant for the city. A 20,000
horsepower plant la being put In at
Calgary. He la th. managing director
of the company.

FISHED ARE ANGRY
CLOSIXXJ OP WTLLAMT7TTE AND
CLACKAMAS OPPOSED.'
Action or State Board of Fish Com
missioners Declared Useless for
Salmon Protection.
OREGON CITY, Or., March 9. (Spe
cial.) Clackamas County fishermen are
displeased over the order of the State
Board of Fish Commissioners In closing
the Willamette and Clackamas from
April 15 to May l,.and say that as a re
sult they will lose thousands of dollars.
Representative M. A. Magone telephoned
to Governor West this afternoon protest
ing against the Commission's order, but
the only satisfaction he obtained was
the statement of the Governor that tha
matter waa closed.
Local fishermen will probably not at
tempt to violate the order closing tho
streams. They say none will be bene
fited, as the upper rivers become warm
during the latter part of April and the
salmon become lazy and make little ef-
fort to go over the fish ladder at. the
falls and. lie in the river and die. Tho
Willamette and Clackamas fishermen
also contend that the order works
against them to the interest of the Co
