er-r. In bla hlchly Indignant attitude
and with a careless use of languar
Mr. Albert rbaraea wholesale deceit
practiced npoa tho Governor in Indue
Inc him so to act. but tbo fact la that
txth Mr. Albert and bis contemporary
coadjutor called upon tho Uorernor In
the Interest of tho highway commission
Mil and personally solicited the Got
ernor to approve tho same and broach t
to bear all tho Influenco they could to
accompli. ri that end.
"AI this aspect of tho case, wo cam
look for a moment for tho motive of
tho scurrilous and opprobrious atate
meat proceeding- from Mr. Albert. Mr.
Albert seems to bo tbo president of tha
Capitol National Rank, of Salem. To
tho fund of approximately too raised
tr tha Good Roads Association. Mr.
Albert never contributed a dollar, so
far aa tho records of that association
show. Ills contemporary coadjutor re
reived In salary out of this sum 1 2 70S.
and. la addition to that, sundry travel
Inn expenses, and they toitether. In
connection with then current newspaper
reporta, were prominently mentioned aa
two Individuals to compose tha Board
of Highway Commissioners and their
going to tho Governor to solicit tho ap

the conclusion that Mr. Albert naturally
expected and desired to become one of
the hlsrhway commissioners of tha Stat
of Oregon.
Attorncr-Ccnrral's View Cited.
"Ttarlntf hn Informed from Mr. Al
" bert himself that the statement In your
paper quotes him correctly, and from
tha Governor that both Mr. Albert and
lits esteemed contemporary coadjutor
called npon htm In tho Interest of tha
hlsrhway commission bill, tt remains to
notice the foolish attitude In which
Mr. Albert is placed by his hasty re
marks. Section 1 of article XI of the
constitution of tha State of Oregon pro
vides, among other thins;, that coun
ties may Incur debts for permanent
roads on approval of a majority of
those voting on tho question, and tha
Attorney-Genera of tho stats of Ore
on. in a recnt opinion called forth
from Judge Culbertaon. of Hood Ttlver.
tia held that this provision of tha
constitution was self-esecutlnr and re
quired no legislation In aid of Ita pur
pose. Mr. Aibert In hi general state
ment of rhars-es did not Impute tha
character of faker to the Attorney-General
and he ha overlooked, therefore,
the fact that there are lawyers In the
state who dl-atrr-e with the method of
legislating which he so caustically sup
ports. It would be better for wrongful
Intiicnatlon. If entertained, to keep tt
self within the bound of legitimate fact.
"So. In coins; further Into this mat
ter, all reasonable persons look some
what at tn map of experience, and
Mr. Albert in running a bank doubtless
has that decree of Intellectual capacity
which demonstrates the Inexpediency of
ependtna money to no jcood purpose,
and had he. at the time that ha rushed
Into print, examined the protrrrts of
Ive-tsUtlon In our sister State of Wash
ington he would have found that tha
very elements of tha hlsrhway commis
sion which ha so strenuously supports
received condemnation by the defeat of
tha Mc.Veeley bill at tha recent session
at t-lTmpla. and tha the Legislature
of that state refused to appropriate
money alone tha lines of legislation
csUculated to glv a supervisory con
trol to a commission whose only pur
pose was maatnsr sxpenslva surveys
and compiling data to make expensive
repairs In the snaps of printer's bills
to tha neat session of the Legislature.
Highway Commissioner Created.
"An examination of tha hlsrhway
commission bill, produced as It was
finally from tho "1 louse of YVIsdora' at
Salem, shows It to ba a bill Just as the
committee bavins; tt under considera
tion for tha rood roads people reported
It to be. namely, a bill that really cre
ated a hlcbway commissioner, who. of
cearts. should have tho assistance of
Mr. Aibert and his esteemed contem
porary coadjutor la the duties of yrn
erai supervision.' which that commis
sioner was deaismed to exercise, and a
readme of the bill by any reasonable
person and It must be assumed that
the legislators of Ore r on are reason
able persons showed that to their
minds the only rood purpose a high
way commissioner could subserve was
to perform such duties aa tha county
courts might request of hlra.

DOUBLE TRACK TO
BE LAID AT ONCE
Contractors Put 500 Men to
Work Between Deschutes
and Blalocks.
MUCH GRADING NECESSARY
Jfexr Line Will Not Follow Course of
Colombia Kltcr as Closely aa
Old One Need of Added.
FacililLc Pressing.
Double trarklnr and reconstructing;
of th O.-W. R. A N. main line between
Pe scutes and Blalocks, a distance of 2t
miles, wa begun yesterday mornlnr by
a fore of 600 men In tba employ of
Twohy Bros railroad contractor of
Portland.
Th work will be hastened In all de
partments In an effort to have It com
pleted before Juno 10, th end of th
present fiscal year.
Th contractor established their
camp alonir th rout of tha projected
development last week and gradually
assembled their men until they hsd a
force sufficiently larsr to tart exten
sive operation. While many prelimi
nary detail wer completed last week.
the actual construction work did not
be cln until yesterday.
Considerable (trading will be neces
sary to make room for the second set
of rails and In some places the contract
calls for the construction, virtually, of
aa entire new double-tracked road.
Grades and Curve to Go.
Plan prepared by Oeorira W. Hoech
k. chief enitlneer of th O.-W. R.' & N.
Company construction department, call
for tha elimination of much curvature
and many noticeable grade from on
end ot thl contract to tha other. A a
whole th new Una will not follow the
Columbia. River aa closely as th old.
seeking a straight course rather than
the banks of th etream.
. Most of the work for the next few
week will be done on the west end of
the project. Camp will be established
later at points farther east. Construc
tion work along part of thl rout will
be somewhat alow, a th lava rock
and sand hill combine to form many
mile of difficult track building.
With th completion of thi project
and those now under way the O.-W. R.
tc X. main Una will be double-tracked
all the way to Stanfleld, with the ex
ception ot a stretch of 47 miles between
Bonneville and The Ealles and a piece
J miles In length between Blalocks
and Coyote. This work Is In accord
ance with the general double-tracking
Plan announced by the board of direc
tors of the Union Pacific and Southern
Paclflo systems at their secent meet
ing In New York, when they voted an
appropriation of 176,000,000 for these
purpose.
Other Work Provided For.
Th new Una from Portland to Trout-
dale, Including the Peninsula tunnel,
will erv as a second main line for th
Brat 1 mile east from Portland. The
construction of double tracks from
Troutdale to Bonnevllln, 23 miles, al
ready has been provided for, and work
there will start In time to have It com
pleted before the end of the present
year. Th gap between Bonneville and
The Dalles, It 1 expected, will be taken
up for completion before the end of
the next fiscal year.
The most difficult portion of the re
construction scheme 1 that between
Blalocks and Coyote, which has not
been .provided for definitely. Thl
stretch Includes some heavy grade and
decided curves, all of which the en
gineering, department hopes to elimi
nate. The Coyote-Stanfleld cutoff, leaving
Umatilla off the main line, haa been
under consideration for a long time
and actual operations there are ex
pected to begin within th present year,
although 'this has not been authorized.
Horseshoe Tunnel Is feature.
The Toakura-Pendleton cut-off Is
nearlng completion and will be turned
over to tha operating department with
in a few months. The principal feature
of this piece of work la th Horseshoe
tunnel, that takes th place of the
Horseshoe curve, cutting oft consider
able distance and much ourvature.
Although the plans provide for the
eventual double tracking of the entire
road from Portland to Huntington, It
It unlikely that any work east of Pen
dleton will be done for several years.
The portion of the line that Is most
used Is that between Umatilla and Port
land, as at Umatilla the line connects
with the roads of Southeastern Wash
ington and Northern Idaho, carrying
the heavy grain shipments of those
sections to this city. Th need for a
double track on the weat end of th
line la urgent and this will be com
pleted before the road from Pendleton
to Huntington Is further considered.
DIRECT rCLLMAX IS FUIXXED
Service to Denver Without Change
Under Discussion.
Direct car service from Portland to
Denver via the Denver Rio Grande
Railroad la th plan that W. C McBiide,
general agent for that road In this city.
Is endeavoring to carry into effect.
Enough passenger business Is handled
out of Portland for points on the Denver
4b Rio Grande to fill a standard Pullman
car. Mr. McBrlde declares, and he points
out th conveniences to the traveling
public of having accommodations that
would not require a change of cars at
Often or Salt Lake City, as at present.
lis ba taken up the subject with offi
cial of tha O.-W. B. A N. Co. and of
he Pullman Company, and hope Boon
to be able to. announce the through serv
ice. While it la aimed to continue th
operation of the through car throughout
the year.- it 1 desired especially In the
Bummer time.
The Denver Rio Grande Is advertised
aa a great acenlo route, and person tour-
ng th country are solicited to make
t least one transcontinental trip over It.
If Mr. ilcBrlde succeeds In Inaugurat
ing this service a corresponding west
bound ear from Denver to Portland also
will be put on.
Throush Pullman service between Port
land and Denver has been In effect over
tha Union Pacific. Oregon Short Line
and O.-W. R. N. combination and pvrr
tho Burlington and Northern Paclflo for
many years. With the increase of busi
ness between this city and Bastern point
the additional service over the other
road is considered advisable. The pro
posed routing is via Pocatello, Ogdea and
Salt Lake City, leaving Portland on O.
W. R A N. train No. IS at 10 A. M. and

of th fact that United States battleships
have to use coal brought from West Vir

that haa aver been perpetrated In the

"We carcely want to feel a repetition
of the humiliation with which we wer
afflicted when the fleet of battleships
took It famous trip around the world
and the fuel had to be dragged around
the Horn In foreign-bottomed ships. De

remain to b proven that ther is" any
