VOL,. L.ITI. NO- 1G,529. PORTLAND, OREGON. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 15, 1913. PRICE FIVE CENTS. is TROLLEY TRAINS TO 'E NEW DEPOT Willamette Valley Line Buildings Ordered. IMMEDIATE WORK IS PLANNED Space South of Union Depot . Will Be Utilized. CAMPBELL TELLS PLANS Sheds and Offices Are to Be Ready When Unit Is Electrified by January 15, Says Rail i road Official. Train sheds, waiting-rooms and ticket offices for the Portland, Eugene & Eastern Electric service, which will begin operating' between Portland and Mc.Minnivlle about January 13, will be built immediately south of the Union depot on ground now used for park purposes. Construction work will be started within the next few weeks, says D. W. Campbell, general superintendent of the Southern Pacific and Portland, Eugene tc Eastern, who returned yesterday r.iorning from a week's business visit in San Francisco. It ' Is intended to accommodate the Portland, Eugene & Eastern trains at' the Union depot until such time as the traffic Justifies the erection of a cen tral station, office and waiting-room I earer the business district of the city. Work to Be Fireproof. The work at the Union depot will be cf fireproof material and will con form in general nature and appearance to the present depot property. By being built on the south elde of the old struc i ;i sind nearer the business district of the city, it will serve patrons of the lead to best advantage. Trains entering the station on Fourth t'.reet will have easy access to the kh6ds that will be erected, there. De tailed plans -for the - work are. being completed. . Mr. Campbell 'was satisfied w-lth the progress being made on tne Portland, Eugene fc Eastern 'electrification. The new cars are being assembled at the temporary shops near Beaverton. They will be ready as soon as the line is ready for them. The. sub-station at Oswego is nearlng completion rapidly. Men are at work at several places be tween Portland and McMinnville put ting the roAd in shape. Steel Is Delivered Promptly. Prom; t delivery of new steel rails and other material needed for the new road was procured by the Southern Pacific. The rails are coming from te South in new steel cars, which cars will be used on the local Southern Pacific lines. While there has been no immediate danger of car shortage In this territory, the arrival of new rolling stock will aid materially in relieving the situation. "We are in good condition as far as cars are concerned," said Mr. Campbell. "While we have had heavy crops to handle in all parts of our territory, we have been able to take care of them to the t-.tisf action, I believe, of the -shippers. These new cars will give them additional facilities." Cars Are o New Type. The new cars are of an improved type, not heretofore used extensively on the local lines. They are of steel frame and steel construction throughout, with the exception of the sides, which are of wood. So far as shock-resisting quali ties are -concerned, they are practically vf steel. Mr. Campbell traveled to Portland from San Francisco in easy stages. He had his office car coupled to ti.e rear of a local freight train. Whenever the train stopped to do switching, to oad or to unload cars, he wold get out and visit in the small towns and cit ies. He is able thus to eep in close -ouch with the merchants and other patrons of the road throughout the territory. "1 always like to travel on a freight train," said Mr. Campbell, "oecause it gives me a better chance to see the country. Whenever I have time I travel tuat way." Allhough.no was busy all mo while li was In San Francisco, Mr. Campbell had time to go out last Saturday after noon to see the Stanford-California football game, which he said was one of tiie best he ever saw. The strike of trainmen! orr tho South ern Pacific's Atlantic division lines will not affect the local service at all. The men on the Atlantic division work un der separate agreements and separate conditions entirely. lr. Campbell said. SAYRE rTAKES NEW JOB Jessie Wilson's Prospective Husband to Change Today.

Leon Williams, of Lorfdon, an eminent- au thority on anthropology and geology, arrived today from Liverpool with 15 skulls of prehistoric man, 6ne of which he estimated to be 500,000 years old. This skull was found, by workmen near Folkestone, England, In strata that dated back before the Pleistocene era and its existence and discovery have confirmed Dr. Williams in ' the belief that mankind-is at least 500,000 years old. Dr. Williams said the finding of these ancient skulls and other human bones did not disprove, in his opinion, the Darwinian theory, but altered it in some degree. Instead of man's being a descendant of the ape, Dr. Williams said, these skulls tended to confirm the belief that the anthropoid ape was an off-sport of primitive man. One of the chief distinctions between the skulls and those of apes, he said, was to be found in the teeth.
