DIREGTROUTE PROPOSED

NOT HAVE TO CILXGE CARS.
Norlhrrn Paclflo and Chicago A
North vi-rstcro Make Traffic
AgTcmnent East.
Portland persons trmvellns; to Chi
cs o on tha "North Coast Limited.' tha
fast train operated by the Northern
Pacific, will ba able. In the near fu
ture, to o directly to that city with
out a chance at St. Paul, according- to
recent i reports from tha East, which
credit the Northern PaciDc officials
with navlnr arrmnsed an agreement
with tha Chlcaao Northwestern tor
a trackage contract between St. Paul
and Chicago.
To what extent such an agreement
would operate baa not been determined,
but If It will apply to freight as well
as paasenger business Its effects will
ba far -reach I oar. it . would .mean. In
that case, that the Northern Pacific
would have a direct and moat desirable
avenue from tha Northwest Into Chi
cago opened to It. and that by an inter
change clause, which naturally would
be Included In the agreement, the
Northwest would be able to invade the
territory north of the Columbia river
directly through tha St. Paul gateway.
If tha agreement Is made to permit
the North Coast Limited entrance Into
Chicago It la expected that all tha
Northern Pacific's business that now
goes to the Burlington will be turned
over to the Northwestern.
Miners' Liens Before Court.
CTRA-VT3 PASS. Or.. May (ireclal)
Circuit Court opened sere yesterday
with Judge Calkins on the bench. All
law cases are being made up as to the
Issue and will be tried at the regular
law term In June. One case Involves
priority of miners' liens. The old Chan
nel Hydraulic Mines Company had given
a mortgage on its mining property last
year, and subsequently a number of men
ware placed In the mines to work. To
obtain pay for their labor they tiled liens
which are considered to be not prior by
the mortgagee, who la foreclosing. This
question has never been decided by
courts of Oregon and the authorities are
scant as to miners' liens. The same
question has been before the court a
number of times, but In each case the
litigants settled out of court.
MILO MAIZE ATTRACTIVE
Farmers Inquire of Railway Official
About Culture.
Efforts of R. B. Miner, traffic manager
of the Harrlman ' lines in the North
wast, to Introduce the growing of mllo
malxe on arid lands of Oregon. Wash
ington and Idaho have attracted country
wide attention. Announcement of his
intention to distribute mllo seed to all
farmers on the O.-W. R. & N. lines In
quiring; for them, which was first printed
In The Oregonlan, has been copied in
the dally papers of several big Western
cities, and his enterprise has been com
mended. Yesterday Mr. Miller received a letter
from W. C Doherty, a prominent farmer
near Carter, Mont., stating that he read
of Mr. Millar's scheme in a St- Louis
paper. He asked for some seed.
Although a larg-o quantity of seed was
obtained from Texas when the first steps
toward Introducing this commodity were
taken, the entire supply haa been ex
hausted. As tha season now Is too far
advanced no more seed will be distrib
uted until next Spring.

PLAN BETTER 8 WAYS
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT, D.
O. LIVELT'S TOPIC.
Speaker Before Civic Council An
swers Mr. Uaak by Recounting
- Advantages In Few Words.
"Can you give In a few words the
advantages to be secured In the
adoption of the commission form of city
government for Portland?" waa the
question propounded by Chairman Haak
of tha Civic Council at its meeting last
night to D. O. Lively, after he had de
livered an address on -The Commission
Plan of Government In Dallas Texas."
Mr. Lively's reply was: . -.
"A saving In the pay roll.
"A reduction in the tax levy.
"A dollar's worth of work for every
dollar expended.
"Control of the streets so far as fran
chise corporations are concerned.
"Individual responsibility.
-' "Efficiency of government and oper
ation.
"Simplicity Is form and action.
"Responsive legislation on the- part of
the commissioners to the wishes of the
people."
The speaker told how Dallas had,
under the commission form of govern
ment, paid - off 1300,000 of indebtedness
which had been floated under warrants
Issued In excess of tha amount levied
on tba taxable property, how M miles of
paving had been laid and how In every
case the property-owners obtained the
best paving In tho country. Under the
Dallas system the Commissioners have
complete authority over tha School
Board and have the final say for all ex
penditures made by tha School Board.
Mr. uveiy expressed tieiiei that tne
system would work effectively in Fort-
land and that once it was placed in
operation "the city would no more think
Of going back to the old system than it
would propose to dig a canal through
Mount Hood."
"There Is no form of government that
is perfect." he said. "The commission
form can be operated to tbe detriment of
the taxpayers just as any other form
can If you get bad men in office, but it
has this distinctive advantage, you can
tlx the responsibility and then get the
bad man out of office in a twinkling of
an. eye. Under the present system you
do not know halt the time who to blsme
and when you do there seems to be no
method to get them ont without going
through an amount of red tape wnicn
acts as a bar most of the time."
