EARNINGS URGE
Carl R. Gray Says Income of
Road for Next Fiscal Year
Will Be Equally Good.
OFFICIAL INSPECTION MADE
Party Disbands Here After Tear
Lasting IB Days "With Meetings
Almost Xlghtly and President
Remain to Visit Family.
The fiscal year ending- June 30 next
will be the beat in the history of our
road." said Carl R- Gray, president of
the Great Northern, who arrived In
Portland yesterday for a few days'
visit, "and from present indications the
next year will be equally aa good,
least."
From month to month, ever since last
July, the Great Northern has been
showing greatly Increased gross earn
ings, with proportionate Increase of net
earnings. This has been due wholly to
trie heavy crops and reflects directly the
prosperity of the territory traversed oy
the Great Northern.
Mr. Gray and members of his official
family have just completed a careful
Inspection of the Great Northern sys
tem that took them over the road from
Kt. Paul to Portland. They have trav
eled by day and have met with busi
ness men. farmers and commercial bod
ies at scores of places by night.
"If the weather doesn't Interfere
with the present bright outlook for a
frood crop we will do as well In 191 as
we did In 11I." said Jir. Gray, "uetier
than that we cannot expect, for the
crop record of last year was remark
able." A at Trip wnurr.
Mr. Gray made a personal inspection
last week of the Great Northern's new
branch road being; built from We
natcliee. Wash., northward to Orovllie.
where It will connect with the Una now
operating- from east to west along the
southern border of British Columbia.
But 47 miles of track has been laid, so
It was necessary for bim to ride the
remaining distance of nearly 74 miles
In an automobile. He expects the work
to be completed and the road to be In
operation before the end of the present
year.
Work also Is in progress on the new
line between New Rockford. N. D.. and
l.ewtstown. Mont. This road will be
700 miles long and will give the Great
Northern an alternate main line from
east to west, at the same time opening
up a rich and productive territory that
heretofore has been without railroad
Untitles. The new line will be about
midway between the Great Northern's
present main line and the Northern Pa
rifle. It mill require about three years
to complete this work.
On account of the heavy snows in
the Cascades last Winter about two
and a half miles of snowsheds will be
built this Summer and a tunnel will
he driven through Windy Point, where
the most trouble has been occasioned
in the past.
Maav Mrrtlm Held.
To give an idea of how active the
Great Northern party has been since
tartlng on the present trip, Mr. Gray
called attention to the fact that they
have been on the road IS daya and that
every night but three has been occu
pied by meetings with business men
at the several piacea that they visited.
"We have been working with the op
erating department in the daytime and
with the traffic department at night,"
he explained, and officials of both de
partments admitted that they are tired.
Accompanying Mr. Gray are W. P.
Kenney, vice-president in charge of
traffic: H. C. Byers. assistant to the
president at fit. Paul; L. C. Gtlman. as
sistant to the president at Seattle;
Hatph Budd. chief engineer; M. J. Cos
tcllo, assistant traffic manager, and
A. Meldrum. assistant gt-neral pas
enger agent. J. M- Gruber, vice-president;
O. H. Emerson, general manager,
and W. D. Scott, general superintend
ent, left the party at Seattle. After
passing the day In Portland the party
disbanded. Mr. Kenney and Mr. Budd
leaving for St. Paul. Mr. Gilman. Mr.
Costello and Mr. Meldrum going; to Se
attle. Mr. Gray Visits Ooa.
Mr. Gray will visit his ranch on the
Little White Salmon River today and
will remain in Portland and vicinity
until after Sunday. Mrs. Gray has been
here for about two weeks. They are
staying at the home of their son. Carl
It. Gray, Jr.. on Portland Heights.
It will be impossible for Mr. Gray to
co over the Oregon Electric. Oregon
Trunk. United Hallways and other prop
erties in which the Oreat Northern
holds a half interest. He will return
East, however, over the North Bank.
He exprcts to return to Portland in the
latter part of July, when he will devote
an entire week to an Inspection of the
icH-al properties.
J. H. Toung. president of the North
Bank and other local roads in which
the Great Northern is Interested, was
unable to reach Portland yesterday.
He is In the East on business. It is
probable that he will arrive, however,
before Mr. Gray leaves.
Jamea T. Mlddleraas. who was Mr.
Gray's private secretary while he was
president of the North Bank, is not
with him on this trip, being detained
by illness.
INTEREST T0BE REVIVED
Sumpter Valley Railroad Manager to
Rehabilitate Farm Lands.
Guy L. Anderson, general manager
of tbe Sumpter Valley Railroad, has
started the task of rehabilitating the
neglected agricultural territory trib
utary to that line.
lie is endeavoring to interest the
farmers in the John Day and Sumpter
River valleys in dlverslfled agriculture
and to gain this end is enlisting tbe aid
of agricultural experts In Portland. It
is probable that C. L. Smith, agricultur
ist for the G.-W. R. & N. Company, and
others will go to bis aid soon.
Mr. Anderson, who assumed charge
rf the Sumpter Valley property only
six weeks ago. Informs local railroad
officials that some farmers living 2&
and &u miles from the railroad actually
are hauling butter, eggs and bacon from
the village stores to their homes, when.
In fact, they should be producing them
for themselves both for their own con
sumption and for the market.
The younger generation of farmers
Is eager for progress, he advises, and
It will not be difficult to interest there
In modern methods' of agriculture,
thereby greatly int-rcaslnc the possi
bilities for traffic on the Sumpter Val
ley railroad.

STATE COLLEGES VISITED
Development of Mineral and Geo
logical Resources Is Aim and
Oregon Is Declared to Be
Rich in Raw Materials.
With the return yesterday of mem
bers of the State Bureau of Mines from
a trip to Corvallls and Eugene, where
they visited the State Agricultural Col
lege and the University, their prelim
inary plans for a season of active and
aggressive work were complete.
Each of the aeven men composing the
commission recently appointed by the
Governor upon authorization of the last
Legislature now has his work outlined
nd expects to proceed with it In the
manner that will bring the best results.
"Development of Oregon s mineral
and geological resources" is to be the
motto of the organization. The com
missioners are trained along the sev
eral branches of the mining business
and each will lend his special knowl
edge and training to the particular
work to which he has been assigned.
H. N. Lawrle. the chairman. Is a min
ing engineer: P. L. Campbell, president
of the State University. Is to hare
charge of the conservation branch of
the work, while W. J. Kerr, president
of the Agricultural College, will have
Charge of transportation.
Fellows Mine Manager.
W. C. Fellows, who Is manager of
the Ben Harrison mine at Granite, Ba
ker County, will specialize on metal if er
ous and hydraulic mining; T. S. Mann,
president of the Oregon Manufacturers'
Association and manager of the Pacific
Stoneware Company, of Portland, will
handle the department of ceramics: J.
F. Reddy. of Medford. the department
of fuels, salines and fertilizers, and C.
T. Prall. of Ontario, the road materials
and forestry relations.
While at the Agricultural College the
bureau visited the mining department
conducted In connection with that insti
tution. Professor H. M. Parks, dean of
tbe department of mining, was made
director of the bureau.
While the development of the metal
mining industry will be one of the
prime objects of tbe bureau, immediate
attention will be given to the neglect
ed department of ceramics. In which
Oregon la said to hare Immense possi
bilities.
Mlaeral Wealth Asserted.
Mr. Mann, who baa charge of this de
tail, says that nearly ail of the build
ing material now used In Portland and
other parts of the state can be pro
duced In Oregon. There Is no need to
send out of the state, he declares, for
such commodities as cement, brick.
terra cotta. sewer ptpe and some of the
coarser kinds of pottery. The raw ma
terial for the manufacture of all these
rommoditles haa been discovered In suf
ficient quantities to make their com
mercial use economically practical. The
demand is apparent every day. Clay
for the manufacture of terra cotta is
abundant in many parts of the state.
In fact, clay haa been shipped from
Oregon to other states, made Into terra
cotta.-and sold back into this state.
Such practices, says Mr. Mann, bring
about a heavy economio waste and de
prive Oregon of a lot of money that
should remain In the state.
LOCAL OFFICES PLANNED
Grand Trunk to Take Advantage of
Prince Rupert Terminal.
District freight and passenger of
fices for the Grand Trunk Railroad
system will be opened In Portland be
fore the end of the coming Summer,
according to plana made by a group
of traffic officials of that line, who
were In the city yesterday.
In the party were: J. E. Dalrrmple,
of Montreal, vice-president of the
Grand Trunk; G. T. Bell, of Montreal.
assistant passenger traffic manager;
V. P. Hinton. of Winnipeg, general
passenger agent; Captain C. H. Nichol
son, of Vancouver. B. C manager' of
the Grand Trunk steamship lines: F.
W. Hooper, general agent for the pas
senger department at San Francisco,
and J. H. Burgle, general agent for
the passenger department at Seattle.
The Grand Trunk system now is ex
tending Its lines to the Pacific Coast
and will have a deep-sea terminal at
Prince Rupert. B. C. The line will be
open from Prince Rupert to Quebec
and Portland, Me., before the end of
1914. The Grand Trunk gets very little
freight business out of Portland. The
officials who were here yesterday be
lieve that it will be necessary for
them to assume an aggressive atti
tude in this territory to reap the full
benefits of the Pacific Coast extension.
It was announced yesterday that the
company, -which -has already arranged
for daily steamer service between
Puget Sound and British Columbia
ports, will put on a line of fast boats
to ply between 6an Francisco, Victoria
and Vancouver. Upon the completion
of the Grand Trunk Paclflo Railroad
next year, a fleet of Oriental steam
ships will be operated, with terminals
at Prince Rupert, B. C.
SHIPPERS - TO PROTEST
CLOSIXG OF THREE GATEWAYS
CAUSE Or COMPLAINT.

all shipments to and from their terri

lines will be held In Portland on Fri
day. May 9.
Although the various railroads at
Knnimriinir noints are Interested
in the cases because they affect the
volume of their trainc anu consequent
ly their' earnings, it is improbable that
they will be represented, officially, at
the proceedings.
The West Coast Lumbermen's Asso

show that the proposed action of the
Harrlman lines win result, in mt

their members.

previous to the time the order in the
other cases was roaae, is not aneciea

Harrlman people voluntarily decide to

the only road affected here.
It is considered probable, however,
that the Ogden gateway will be opened

DELAY IS CRITICISED
Car Service Over Bridge Held
Possible in 10 Days.
POWER COMPANY ACCUSED
Applicant for Franchise Says Cor
poration Holding V-p Connection
Unnecessarily and Makes Of
fer to Pay for Work.
Cars can be operated across the
Broadway bridge within 10 day3 if of
ficials of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company desire, says George
F. Heusner, who has applied for a fran
chise to operate a standard gauge sub
urban line across that structure.
Mr. Hnnpr said vesterdav that the
reason the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company Is delaying tne worn
of making connections with the bridge
Is to make the public believe that the
Heusner application for franchise
stands In the way.
I have offered to pay for connecting
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
lines at the East approach myself,"
..M Mr. Heusner. "I don't want the
people of Northeast Portland and of
East Portland to be denied tne use 01
the bridge now that it Is open for traf
fic Thfl r.omnanv alreadv has connect
ed Its tracks at Gllsan street and Broad.
wov nnri can ODerate across from tne
West Side. There la nothing In the
world to prevent it from making simi
lar connections on the East Side.
Application for Grant First.
"It must be remembered that I was
the first to apply for a franchise across
the bridge. The Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company at first didn't
want a franchise. It was not until the
neonle of the East Side almost unanl
mously supported my application that
the other company saw tne aavamases
of a right -to cross the bridge.
"There is no way in which the pres
ent injunction proceedings or my appli
cation can interfere with the use of
the bridge. It must be remembered
that the injunction for which the Im
perlal Hotel has applied has to do only
with Broadway west ot tne river, now,
then, can that have anything to do with
it, when connection already has been
made west of the bridge?
"No attempt has been made to con
nect the tracks east of the river with
the bridge. Surely my application
would not interfere with that. My line
will be laid out Vancouver avenue. That
will not interfere In the least with the
Broadway, Williams avenue or any
other connections that the company
wants to make.
Complaints Are Made.
"The tracks east of the bridge ought
to be laid at . once so that the street
can be paved. There , bas been much
complaint already because of the dust
on Broadway Just east or tne bridge.
In times of bad weather the street there
will be muddy.
"There Is an evident desire and in
tention on the part of someone to make
It appear that I and my application for
franchise are delaying car service over
the structure. Car service can be had
within 10 days. I am not at fault, but
to show my good faith in the question
I am ready to pay for connecting the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany's tracks on the East Side with
the east approach. That will give them
service through to the West Side over
Gllsan and Fifth streets."

"VTO wonder butter is so high.
Particular women who are
loath to use lard or cooking but
ter in their cakes and fine pastry,
use table butter. With butter at
the price you have to pay for it,
that's downright extravagance. Cottolem
is just as good as butter for pastry; for
frying, it is better. And Cottolem costs no
more than lard. Moreover,
is richer, and two-thirds of a pound of it will
go as far as a full pound of butter or laxd.
And lard and Cottolene are not to be mentioned in the same
breath, for Cottolene is a vegetable product, healthful, always safe
and makes digestible, rich,
but never greasy food..
Remember.Cbflioeweis better
than butter, better than lard
and much more economical.
TRY THIS RECIPE:
Fried Oysters
Use large oysters; parboil a moment
to dry out some of the juice to pre
vent spattering during the frying. Lay
them in seasoned bread crumbs, beaten

Complaint has been made that the
young . man was thrown Into a cell
and kept locked up for some hours
without any effort being made to de
termine his condition and find those
who would take care of him.
The facts are, asserts Chief Slover,
after a thorough investigation, that
information came by telephone about
8 A. M. that a man was lying, appar
ently intoxicated, at Front and Market
streets.. Patrolmen Burke and Sher
ril were sent with the patrol auto,
placed the man on a stretcher and
brought him to the station, arriving at
8:30. Fifteen minutes later Dr. Zleg
ler arrived and took charge of, the case.
The case was not booked as a common
drunk, but as "sick."
Having no suitable accommodations,
Captain Moore ordered that young Hug.
gins be carried to an unoccupied cell
and placed on a cot. The cell door was
closed at no time and an officer re
mained with the sick man all the time.
As soon as he was searched and his
Multnomah Club card was found, in
quiry was made there and Sergeant
Rupert -notified hla father before 9:30
A. M. and ho arrived and took charge
of his son about 10 o'clock.
The only fault in the whole affair,
says Chief Hlover, is the lack of an
emergency hospital, and this will not
exist when -the new City Jail is com
pleted. i
