ment of business to and from Western
Oregon through the Ogden gateway.
Now that the Southern Pacific has
announced its intention of opening the

been closed. The purpose of closing
It was to force all the Oregon business
to move through Portland and over the
O.-W. R. & N. and Union Pacific lines,
thereby increasing the earnings of the
Union Pacific system. Now that the
Southern Pacific has been segregated

Prince Kara-Georgevitch Won Hon
ors In Recent War and Is Popu
lar Princess' Income Will
Support Palace, People Say.
BELGRADE, May 9. (Special.)
Therw is a movement on foot in Bel
grade, which, should" it succeed, will
place an American woman on the
throne in Servia. It is nothing less
than to make . Prince Kara-George-vitch,
of Paris, the heir and successor
to the throne of King Peter of Servia.
Prince Kara-Georgevitch, who is King
Peter's first cousin, distinguished him
self greatly in the late war. His gal
lant conduct In Macedonia won for him
not only fame, in his own country but
also the heart and fortune of a charm
ing American woman, Mrs. 'Spencer
Pratt There are several reasons why the
Servians look to Prince Kara-Georgevitch
and his American Princess as
their next King and Queen.
King Peter, who is now 70 years old
and In feeble health, is not expected
to live much longer. He has two sons,
both of whom, it is said, are worthless.
The elder. Prince Alexander, had to
surrender his right to the throne several
years ago because of bad conduct. The
second. Prince George, has none of the
ability which is necessary in a Bal
kan ruler of today. He had a com
mand in the late war but it -was only
nominal.
Ffshtlns Rnler la Wanted.
On the other hand. Prince Kara
Georgevitch showed a valor, particu
larly in cavalry charges, which won
the hearts of the army. At the battle
of Kir Kelissa he' led the cavalry
charges with rare ourage and with an
ability - which woi. the admiration of
his General and the thanks of the King.
The Servians know that they are In for
another war before long. And they be
lieve that their chief salvation lies In
having a fighting King.
A financial reason, too, favors him.
Money is very scarce in Servia. par
ticularly since the war, and the Ameri
can Princess has the reputation of be
ing as rich as Croesus. Rightly or
wrongly they believe at Belgrade, that
her yearly income would support a
royal palace and under existing cir
cumstances this is to them a consider
ation. Alexis Kara-Georgevitch was " 50
when his country went to war against
the Turk and this war has brought
him much back. His mother, the ven
erable Princess Kara-Georgevitch, still
lives and has a quiet flat In the Avenue
du Bols. She is quite pushful for her
years in advancing the pretentions of
her son to the throne of Servia.
Kioc Tried to Woo American.
It seems as though Servia is destined
to have an American Queen.- Almost a
dozen years ago King Peter, who has
long, been a widower, made a desperate
effort to wed Mrs. Potter-Palmer. He
-had heard of her widowhood, of her
wealth and of her accomplishments;
and as it would not be kingly to come
himself he sent an envoy extraordinary
with full powers to Paris to try to
secure the band of the - distinguished
Chicago woman.
The House of Kara-Georgevitch with
which the American- Princess has
linked her fortunes was founded by a
peasant named George Petrovitch In
the first decade of the nineteenth cen
tury. Like her husband he was a brave
fighter against the Musselmans. but
he was assassinated and his son, who
succeeded him, was forced to abdicate.
King Milan, who reigned in Servia
later, and was the scandal of Europe,
did not belong to the family of
Kara-Georgevitch. How King Peter
came to the throne is well known.
He was over the border waiting to be
called in the night that drunken of
ficers killed King Alexander and Queen
Draga.

NEWLY-ELECTRIFIED ROAD,
Trip to McIMIiurvIlle Southern Pacific
Official's First Since Service In
augnratcd Last January.
"I never saw the valley looking bet
ter," said William Sproule, president
of the Southern Pacific, upon his re
turn to Portland Thursday night after a
trip over the newly-electdf led line be
tween Portland and McMinnville.
Mr. Sproule arrived in Portland yes
terday morning and -passed the early
part of the day on a trip over the
properties In this citv. He devoted
the afternoon to the McMinnville trip.
He was accompanied by Robert E.
Strahorn. president of the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern; G. W. Luce, of Ban
Francisco, freight traffic manager of
the Southern- Pacific, who has been In
this territory for the last few weeks;
H. A. Hinshaw, general freight agent;
John M. Scott, general passenger
agent, and F. L. Burckhalter, superin
tendent. Mr. Sproule expects to pass three or
four days in this territory and will go
over most of the company lines and
subsidiaries in the state.
His trip gave him his first oppor
tunity of seeing the electric system in
operation, as the electrification of the
Southern Pacific steam roads between
Portland and - McMinnville was com
pleted after his last visit to the state.
The party went south as far as White
son, the end of the present electric
unit. He was greatly pleased and
commented favorably ' upon the-excellent
showing that the electric line has
been making since it began service
late in January.
It is reported improbable that the
Southern Pacific will do any further
development work in this state before
the end of the present year.

Father O'Hira Praises Oregon Supreme
Court for Taking "Human View"
of Labor In Decision.
MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 15. News of
a higher standard of living and labor
were emphasized by speakers at last
night's session of the National Con
ference of Charities and Corrections.
"Until a system nas been set up that
will keep the mothers of young chil
dren in their homes and not in the
mills and will keep little children in
their homes and schools, we cannot
rest satisfied with our standards of
living and labor." was the conclusion
of the committee which Investigated
the subject. -
Rev. 13. V. O'Hara. chairman of the
Oregon Industrial Welfare Commis
sion, told of wage .standards in hi
state. The minimum wage for the
adult experienced woman worker, he
said. In Oregon, is $8.25 a week, with
a somewhat higher rate in certain oc
cupations in the City of Portland.. The
result, he said, had been to advance
wages for women workers materially
in mercantile establishments and of
fices. Two decisions of the Oregon Supreni)
Court, upholding the wage law, were
epoch-making. Father O'Hara declared,
"for they wrote into the fundamental
law of the land a human view of la
bor namely, that human labor Is more
than a mere commodity like corn or
cotton."
