FREE OF OBSTACLES
Agreement Reached Between
Railway and County Offi
cials on Recent Trip.
BIG FILL IS CONTEMPLATED
President Ksrrell, for O.-W. li. A X.
Company, Makes Many Conces
sions and Cost of Grading
Is Estimated at 9150,000.
Ill order that a. rlsht of way may be
provided for the Portland-Hood Klver
road at a narrow point near jhbio
Creek, east of Bonneville, J. D. Far
rell. president of " the O.-W. K. N.
Company, has notified the County Court
that the company will put In a fill,
estimated to cost 1150.000. on the Co
lombia River side to accommodate
projected double-tracking. This will
a-lve the county an 11-foot roadway
between the Inner track and the base
of the cliff, which will have to oe
slightly arcaded to provide even this
space.
Thus has the last obstacle In the
way of construction of Multnomah
County's end of the proposed scenic
hlffhway been overcome.
A complete agreement covering
points where the rights of way of the
railway and the wagon road will con
flict was reached Tuesday, when
county officials were the guests of
President Farrell and sub-officials of
the railway company in a private car
trip over the railway line, which the
wagon road will hug all the way to
Hood PJver. The agreement will be
reduced to writing. President Farrell
said, by the company's attorneys in a
few days and submitted to the County
Court. The railway company gave way
to the county on practically every
point, with the result that the maxi
mum grade on the road will not be
above 7 per cent. Were It necessary
to wind the road over the top of cliffs,
erodes as steep as 19 per cent would
be required.
Retalalns; Wall Necessary.
The first difficult situation given
consideration was at a point a little
west of Multnomah Falls. Here Presi
dent Farrell agreed that the county may
take out a large quantity of loose rock,
building in return a retaining' wall on
the side next the railway. The wagon
road at this point will be 14 feet wide.
At Oneonta gorge the county pro
posed a grade crossing, but the com
pany would not hear of this because
of the danger. It was agreed the
county will cross the railway tracks
twice with overhead crossings. This
will necessitate the construction of
about 2000 feet of trestle, at a cost of
about $6500. Another proposal here
was that an open cut be made through
the rock at one point and that a tun
nel 110 feet In length be put through
at the other end. The tunnel and cut
would cost about the same as the'
trestle but the railway engineers were
afraid to risk it because of the nature
of the rock. They were afraid of slides
and fearful that the whole hillside
might be dislodged.
Prlaoa Labor to Be Vaed.
The trestle will be so constructed as
to give a clearance of S3 feet above
the railway tracks. The greatest grade
will be S per cent. County Engineer
Holbrook estimates. The inclines will
have to start 400 feet away from the
points where the tracks are to be
crossed In order to secure this grade.
At various places the county will
build rock walls between the wagon
road and the cliffs, filling; in back of
the latter. There will be about five
miles of these walls and prisoners will
be used in their construction. The idea
Ss to minimise the danger of slides. At
the points where the wagon road comes
dangerously close to the railway tracks
the county will build walls separating
the two.
The original estimate on the 15 miles
of road which we will have to build
from Bridal Veil east to complete our
end of the highway was $102,000. but
this was on the basis of climbing over
the cliffs on steep grades, said County
Knglneer Holbrook. "Concessions made
by the railway company will reduce
the grade but will necessitate more
rock work, making it necessary to
spend $150,000, or $10,000 a mile, for
the bare grade. Macadamizing, which
will come later, probably will cost
about $2000 a mile. The expense of
macadamizing would be greater, were
it not possible to use the rock along
the road.

Tomorrow Is circus day in Portland.
Beating all the other "greatest shows
on earth" that may head toward Port
land this season. Jarum & Bingum
have stolen a march on their competi
tors and will open tomorrow night for
a two-day engagement. Including a Sat
urday matinee.
Jarum & Bingum have a decided ad
vantage over other big circuses, as
they do not show under a "canvas top."
Instead their stupendous production
will be put on in the gymnasium of
the Young Men's Christian Association.
Not even another unseasonable snow
storm can prevent the big show from
beinc staged nromntly at 8 o'clock Fri
day and Saturday nights and at 2
o clock Saturday afternoon.
For many months men of the X. M.
C. A physical department have been
olannlne this circus, trying out tne
different stunts and getting ready for
the best exhibition that the X. M. C. A.
has ever DreDared. Among the per
formers will be recosmlzed the faces
of manv well-known business men. and
two prominent Portlanders, K. J. Jaeger
and F. H. Fleming, will be ring
masters. There is to be plenty of
burlesque, of course, but H. T. Smith.
who is managing the affair, promises
that there will also be some rattling
aood avmnastic work.
There will be a menagerie, as no
circus would be complete without one.
Wild animals that have never before
been seen In captivity are promised,
and anyone who classifies them will at
once stand convicted of being a nature
faker. Altogether it promises to be a
weird exhibition.
Three years ago the T. M. C. A put
on a circus that was an unlimited suo

be much larger and better In every
way.

PRACTICAL ADVICE
IS GIVEN OFFICIALS
Members of Washington Com
pensation Commission Are
Guests of Appointees.
GOOD POINTS ARE SHOWN
Personal Contact Between Execu
tives and Beneficiaries Declared
Most Effective Way of Se
en ring Results.
C A. Pratt and J. H. Wallace, mem
bers of the Washington Commission on
worklngmen's compensation, and Dr. J.
W. Mowell. of Olympia, the physician
of the Commission, last night gave to
the three members, of the Oregon Com
mission under the compensation act, an
idea of the practical work which is to
confront them when they assume ornce.
The conference was at an Informal
dinner at the Commercial Club, at
which were present not only the mem
bers of the Commission, but represen
tatives of the organizations that were
instrumental in securing the passage of
the condensation bill.
Mr. Pratt said that after the act has
been in force in Washington for more
than three years, there is now practic
ally no element either among employers
or laboring men that is not extremely
friendly to it. Out of more than utiuv
employing companies that are under
the provisions of the act, he said that
there are only three tnat nave opposea
It, and that their opposition was due
not to the objections to the law so
much as to their Inability to meet Its
provisions.
Few Appeals Taken.
Indicating the degree of satisfaction
with which the decisions of the Com
mission are received, he said that out
of some 18,000 cases upon which the
Commission has passed, only 38 have
heen annealed and manv of these ap
peals were taken at the instance of the
Commission Itself, to determine some
point of the law which is not clear to
them.
"Really the only persons that have
suffered in the least from the compen
sation act," he said, " are the solicitors
for casualty Insurance companies ana
the ambulance-chasing lawyers.
Last year out of $900,000 collected
$600,000 was paid out to workingmen
In the form or compensation tor in
luries. and It Is estimated that they re
ceived between five and six times
greater compensation than they wouia
have received under casualty insurance.
"The state makes its appropriation
tr.r h mm of administration." said
Mr. Pratt, "and all of the money col
lected from the employes goes to tne
Iniured men. They get all of the in
surance under this act, because there
Is no need for costs of collection or for
attorney's fees.
Division of Work Suggested.
Mr. Wallace urged the closest co
operation between the members of the
Commission and urged the wisdom of
dividing the work of the Commission
among its members.
"You can't all do the same work," he
said. "Pass on the claim and then
let the member whom you deem best
fitted to deal with the laboring man
talk to him face to face. Personal
contact between the Commission and the
men who come under its judlsdiction
can do more to make Its work effective
than all the letters you can write."
Dr. Mowell outlined the part that
the physician must play In helping the
Commission arrive at Its conclusions
upon a case.
A. H. Harris, of the Labor Press.
speaking upon the attitude of labor
in Oregon towara tne compensation act,
declared that he believed the sentiment
among the laboring men Is favorable
and will grow more so.
"We have the utmost confidence In
the Commission that has been appoint
ed for Oregon." he said, "and I think
that practically all organized labor in
Oregon believes that it is to be given
a square deal under the compensation
act. That Is all they ask, and I be
lieve that they will receive it."
George M. Cornwall, who presided
over the dinner, and H. Beckwlth, of
the Commission, made brief addresses
at the close of the meeting.
Those present were: Harvey Becn
with. C. D. Babcock and W. A. Mar
shall, of the Oregon Commission on
Compensation; C. A. Pratt, J. H. Wal
lace and Dr. J. W. Mowell, represent
ing the Washington Commission: J. S.
Hamilton, A. Whtsnant, George M.
Cornwall. William McKenzle and A, H.
Harris.
Messrs. Pratt, Wallace and Mowell
will return to Olympia today.

HUNT PICTURES SHOWN
Scenes In Wyoming Depleted by
"Movies" at Heillg.
American hunting pictures, showing
the game haunts In Wyoming, were
given a private presentation at the
Heillg Tteater TueBday afternoon. The
pictures were obtained by W. J. Stroud,
of Rock Springs, Wyo.. who passed the
Winters of several years collecting the
pictures. Motion pictures and single
photographs were used.
A mountain sheep is seen shot at
close range as It gazes into the camera
and a fight between five dogs and a
wildcat, in which the wildcat Is torn
up after a plucky resistance, is one of
the leading features. The wildcat is
shaken out of a tree by men, while one
stands ready to shoot it should it at
tempt to injure any of them.
Bears in Yellowstone Park, eating at
the hotel swill piles, deer and
elk In the same place, and elk
at large In Jackson Hole, and
later being captured and boxed for
shipment to other states, are leading
scenes. In the corrals the elk are so
badly frightened by the men that some
of them kill themselves in trying to
escape by running against the high
fence. Many beautiful pictures of Yel
lowstone Falls and geysers are shown.
Telegraphic Sport Briefs
COLONEL. BUSH, of Bull Run, prob
ably the heaviest taxpayer and
most prominent citizen of that
city, came down to Portland last night
to "be here for the annual "Follies,"
scheduled for tonight at the Heillg
Theater. He is visiting relatives and
friends while here and, among other
things, the Colonel, who is keenly in
terested in politics, is looking up the
city campaign now on In Portland. He
will return home tomorrow morning,
as his multitudinous duties require his
presence there.
"I am down here to see those follies
they have advertised for Thursday
night at the Heillg." said the ColoneL
when seen by the reporter. "When I
first read about them In the newspa
pers. I thoustht I would like to see
them, particularly so as to compare
them with the follies of the Legisla
ture." and the Colonel laughed broadly.
The Colonel became interested in the
doings of the Legislature and went to
Salem for several weeks. Just watching
the "boys" at work. He therefore got
a good "line" on the House and Senate.
Portlaad Campaign Watched.

"Naturally I am interested in this, for

of your best citizens to allow their
names to be used as Mayorallty candi

commission. Why is it that in this day
and age, when civilization is supposed
to have reached an advanced stage,
good men have got to be bothered
by the populace and dragged forth into
the limelight and compelled to stand
for offices? It is wrong: I say, let
those who want office run for It, so
that those who do not like to be Mayor
or Commissioners and have their names
and pictures in the papers all the time
will not be subjected to such humilia
tion." "How do you regard women In poll
tics?" Colonel Bush was asked.
Women Cut Figure, He Says.
"I have been much Interested this
campaign," he replied, with a broad
grin, "to note how much figure the
women are cutting In your city politics.
This is the first time, so far as I can
recall, when I have read so much about
the consideration your candidates have
for the women. I see by the papers
where all of your candidates admit that
women should have a say in public af
fairs. I think the candidates are right.
In fact, I believe the women of Port
land will have a voice in the elections
this time and a pretty big voice, too.
Another thing which I perceive Is emi
nently popular with your candidates, is
commission government; I am glad to
see they all favor it. I also wish to
congratulate Portland on having so
many 'good government candidates. In
this way. no matter who is elected
Mayor and members of the commission,
you have good government cinched.
The people should be thankful."
Colonel Bush will attend the Heillg
"Follies" tonight with his relatives, a
choice box having been reserved for
him and them by the management.

20,000 Miles
What car will carry you that distance in greater
comfort and safety, and with less trouble and
expense than a Chalmers?
It's a pretty poor car indeed
that won't make a good show
ing in a salesman's demonstra
tion. But it takes a pretty good
car to travel 20,000 miles and
please you as well at the end
as it did in the beginning.
Chalmers cars stand this
test. Hundreds are driven this
far every year. Some have
been driven as high as 140,000
miles, and are still in daily
service.
You can pay almost any
price for a motor car, but even
the highest prieed won't carry
you 20,000 miles in more com
fort with greater economy, or
with less mechanical attention
than the Chalmers.
No lower priced car will
give you equal comfort, econ
omy and reliability.
Long stroke motor, four
forward speed transmission,
nickel steel axles, extra large
brakes these and many other
features of design secure the
mechanical excellence of thb
Chalmers.
Large valves, new style
Chalmers piston rings, im
proved carburetor, Timken
bearings throughout the run
ning gear these are some of
the Chalmers features which
make for economy.
Turkish cushions, 11 -inch
upholstery, long wheel base,
large wheels and tires, long,
flexible springs these are the
things which make your Chal
mers comfortable. None more
so.
Try the Chalmers for 20,000
miles. By that time you will
be agreed with us that no car
at any price offers as much
real automobile value for the
money.
Let us give you your first
Chalmers ride, at your convenience.

A Good Reason Why
YOU SHOULD USE
The Northern Pacific Service
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley Says:
"The Northern Pacific Dining Car Service is superior to anything
that has come under my previous observation. The food seems
pure and wholesome. The other railroads could do well to emu
late the methods of the Northern Pacific. I am told that nearly
everything used on their dining cars is grown on their own farms
and that it is carefully selected and ably prepared in the com
pany's kitchens. It was a pleasure for me to eat while traveling
on this road."
"I ate some of the GREAT BIG BAKED POTATOES, and
they are all that has been claimed for them."
