make the change.
Considerable reductions have been

MERLIN WILL BE
BRANCH TERMINAL
Line From Crescent City Not to
Start From Grants Pass,
Is Latest Report.
SURVEY WILL BEGIN SOON
Change of Ronte It Due to Better
Facilities for Terminus In New
Town Chosen and Because
Biff HIU Is Avoided,
MERLIN, Or.. Aug. 11. (Special.)
Considerable interest Is manifested
here over the reported Intention of the
Southern Pacific Railroad to run Its
branch line from this place Into the Il
linois Valley, and thence to Crescent
City. Cal.
This move caused considerable sur
prise, because It was thought that the
Grants Pass line had already been de
cided upon, though Merlin has always
contended that It offered the best route.
This change of routes la supposed to
have been caused by the lack of land
for terminal facilities at Grants Pass,
a condition which would not prevail at
Merlin, as the company already owns
ample grounds, and Charles E. Short, of
the townslte company, says that his
company will add as much more land
as may bo needed.
Engineer Roberts, of the Southern
Pacific, has announced that he will be
gin the survey at once, and that the
work of construction will follow In a
short time.
J. M. Isham. Southern Pacific agent
at Grants Pass, says that the company
Is not bluffing In this matter, as the
route from Merlin Is a better one than
could be found from Grants Pass, as it
cuts out a big bill on the line from- the
latter eity.
The announcement of this change
was made Immediately after a visit of
General Manager 0"Brlen to Grants
Pass yesterday.
The Merlin-Cooa Bay railroad is still
attracting soma attention, as there Is
Just enough activity to show that the
promoters have not given up. This line
would open all the lower Rogue River
country, and be of especial benefit to
the Gallce mining district, which is
showing unusual activity this year.
OFFTCLALS TO VISIT SIL'SLAW
Ratlvtar Men Will Inspect Proposed
Eugene-Coos Bay Line.
EUGENE, Or.. Aug. .11. (Special.)
As soon li R E Miller, general traffic
manager of the Southern Pacific and
Oregon-Washington railways, returns
from the East, where he Is In confer
ence with the traffic heads. General
Manager O'Brien and a party of South
ern Pacific traffic and. engineering offi
cials will leave Eugene for a trip
through the Sluslaw Valley along the
proposed line of the Eugene-Coos Bay
road. They will cover the route
thoroughly, and will make a careful
study of traffic conditions throughout
the entire region.
At Mapleton, a boat will be chartered
which will carry the party of officials
down the bay, around the Jetty and
back, giving them an opportunity to
aee the work now progressing- on the
bar. Florence, Glenada, and all points
on the bay will be visited and In
spected In detail.
Returning from the Sluslaw country,
the party will pass some time In an In
vestigation of the country adjacent to
Eugene, and will then go again to the
coast by way of Drain for a trip
through the Coos Bay country. Refer
ring to the trip, Mr. O'Brien said:
"I have kept out of that country
down there because I did not have
anything definite to say to the people,
who have been desirous of my visiting
the different points. Now that I have
something definite to say. If asked, I

GRANTS PASS IN RAIL WAR
Southern Pacific F1ghtsj Attempt of
City to Cross Property.
GRANTS PASS, Or.. Aug. ll.-(Speclal.)
Because Grants Pass has begun con
demnation proceedings to open two
streets across the right of way of 'the
Southern Pacific Company, railroad offi
cials declare that the company Is likely
to move its roundhouse to Glendale, and
build the Crescent City road out of
Merlin.
The company has answered the con
demnation proceedings by citing an old
ordinance wherein the town Council
agreed not to attempt to cross the com
pany's property. The railroad also seeks
an injunction to restrain the city from
attempting to open any streets.
UNIFORM RATE- SOUGHT
MUD FORD BACKS AGITATION- OF
FREIGHT TARIFF CHAXGE.
Campaign Inaugurated to Submit to
People of State BUI to Fix
Equitable Schedule.
MEDFORD, Or.. Aug. TL Speclal.)
The Medford Traffic Bureau, which Is
conducting the agitation for a-revision
of freight rates for. Southern Oregon,
and which has three cases pending be
fore the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, and an equal number before the
State Railroad Commission, has inaugu
rated a campaign to submit to the peo
ple of Oregon at the next general elec
tion, an Initiative bill to establish equit
able rates for all points one schedule
of distance class for the entire state.
Resolutions have been adopted and sent
to all commercial organisations In Ore
gon asking co-operation In the effort to
establish such a schedule, which Is based
on the Illinois law. The resolutions are
as follows:
Whereaa. In practice tha rallroarie of tha
State of Oregon for many yeara have dis
criminated In their class rata achedulea
by maintaining different class rates for
movement of traffic over their respective
lines upon tha aama article, tha amount of
the rate being determined by the point of
origin.
Whereaa. different schedules of rates for
equal distance are established by the va
rious railroads which can properly be
grouped in the same clasa of railroads, as
tnatanced by tha following illustration of
rates: On the main line of the Oregon.
Washington Railroad A Navigation Com
pany for 10O mllea under the distance tar
iff tha flrst-claia rate Is 90 cents the hun
dred pounds, and under a preferential class
r&ta tariff for a distance of 10O mllea the
nrst-class rata Is 3.1 cents tha hundred
pounds; on tha Southern Pacific Company
main line under the distance class rate for
10O miles the first-class rste is S2 cents
the hundred and under the preferential
class rste the first-class rate for 100 miles
is U.I cents.
Whereas, this lack of uniformity in a
maximum dlatance class rate and tha main
taining of preferential class rates for a
alngla community retards the growth of tha
entire atate at tha expense of the many
to the enrichment of the few.
Whereas, for a normal and natural de
velopment of the entire Btate of Oregon
It la necessary that a maximum distance
tariff of claaa ratsa should be establlahed
for the entire atate. applying uniformly to
all sections upon the same class of rail
roads. Whereas, concerted and united action of
the entire state s necessary to bring about
this needed reform and readjustment ot
dlatance class freight rates which can be
accomplished through the initiative. There
fore, be It
Reeoived. That there shall be submitted
to the voters of the State of Oregon a law
fixing and establishing a uniform maximum
dlatance class rata schedule applicable to
all aecaiona and to all railroads according
to their classification aa nret-claas. secand
xiass. etc.. and such law ahafl prohibit the
giving of leaser class rates for equal dla
tance upon the same article In any character
of preference, auch as distributive class
rates, exceptions to the uniform classifica
tion in the form of large lists of articles
under less than carload commodity rates
where the giving of such would manifestly
grant to any city or community commercial
sdvsntarcs In the control of markets and
the distribution of wares, or sny other form
of exceptions to the classification. Be It
further ... .
Resolved. That all cities and towns In the
Btate of Oregon be invited to Join In a
campaign In tha attainment of the passage
of such a law by the Initiative of the voter.

CLUBS ON SALOON BASIS
Spokane -Organizations Denied Bars
Under City Ordinance.
SPOKANE. Wash, Aug. 11. (Spe
cial.) The bar at the exclusve Spo
kane Club will have to close, the new
Inland Club cannot operata Its pro
posed bar and the Spokane Athletic
Club, which recently voted to Install a
cafe, cannot carry out Its purpose, un
less the City Commissioners .n mend the
present saloon ordinance of the city.
This Is the opinion given to Commis
sioner of Public Safety Haydn today
by the city legal department. The Su
preme Court of the State ruled recently
In a suit brought by the o'd city ad
ministration that the Spokane Club had
to take out a license. Corporation
Counsel A. M. Craven today holds that
clubs cannot be Interpreted as hotels
In the meaning of the saloon ordinance
and therefore a straight saloon license
must be taken out.
The saloon ordinance provide that
no new liquor licenses can be Issued by
the city till the ratio of saloons to the
population reaches one In BOO and then
only one for each additional 1000. The
ordinance provides that bona fide hotels
doing a commercial business may be
granted new licenses before thl". ratio
Is reached, but Attorney Craven says
clubs are not "hotels.

GLACIER PEAK PARTY ARRIVES
AT BUCK CREEK PASS.
Arduous Ascent Enjoyed Despite In
convenience of Rain and Fog.
Nearly 40 In Party.
BY MARION RANDALL PARSONS.
BUCK CREEK PASS CAMP. Idaho,
Augr. 11. (Special.) The Mazama Club
party en route to Glacier Peak reached
permanent camp . at Buck Creek Pass
yesterday afternoon. . We left Stehekin
at the head of Lake Chelan the morn
ing; of Aug. 5. The outing committee
passed a busy hour weighing up dun
nagre bags and loading the final con
signment of provisions on the freight
wagons that accompanied us for the
first day. An easy 10-mile walk up
the Stehekin River brought us to Bul
lion, the first night's camp, where the
packtrain. . returning from its prelim
inary trip to Buck Creek Pass, joined
us.
It was early to bed that night and
still more early to rise next morning.
By five o'clock we were crawling from
our sleeeping bags and struggling
with the Intricacies of packing bedding
and clothing into the cylindrical brown
canvas1 bag which for a fortnight to
come will contain all our worldly pos
sessions. Breakfast was hurried
through and by 7 o'clock we were on
the trail gaining more than 400 feet
in altitude.
Our course was up Agnes Creek to
Suiattle Pass. We followed the Gov
ernment trail which is In excellent
condition and which for 12 mile's fol
lows an easy grade. After that the real
climbing begins.
About 5 o'clock some of us reached
a cabin- a mile below Suiattle Pass. It
was raining and we were tired and
hungry. The last sandwich had been
devoured many miles back and no
sound of packtrain bells had ' yet
reached us. Picture our satisfaction,

provisions was discovered in the cabin.
Cooking utensils were lacking. but

bridge gave way, the lady took an un
expected plunge bath.
All reached permanent camp early In
the afternoon. The preliminary work

the outing committee, and we found
