NEWPORT. Or- July 9. (Special.)
Eomebody has said that the railroad
irora Portland to Newport was on the
bum. or words to that effect, so John
M. Scott, general passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific, said. "Show me," and
be invited a lot of newspapermen and
others to make the trip with him and
see if that were true. So this morn
ing the following party left Portland
at 8:30 for Newport, except some that
were picked up on the way:
J. K. Weatherford, president Corval
s & Bastern; J. H. Stevens, vice
president and superintendent Corval
11s. & Eastern; George P. Bingham, Sa
lem, attorney Southern Pacific; John
M. Scott. H. A. Hlnshaw, general
freight agent Southern Pacific; Mark
Woodruff, publicity department South
ern Pacific; Charles H. Fisher, Capitol
Journal, Salem; Frank Jenkins, Eugene
Register; William H. Hornlbrook, Al
bany Democrat; E. J. Finneran, Eu
gene Guard; E. N. Reagan. Albany
Herald; Leland R. Gilbert, Albany: J.
Shanedllng, Telegram; Addison Ben
nett, The Oregonlan; C L. Springer,
Corvallis Gazette-Times; Fred Lockley,
Journal.
Road Declared Good.
That is the party that left Albany
for Newport and we arrived here at
6:30 tonight. And let me say without
any chance for dispute that the road
from Albany to Newport Is about as
good a road as can be fouDd any
where. Two years ago a different story
might have been told, but since then
thousands of tons of gravel have been
used for ballast and the old rails of
light weight have been replaced with
steel weighing from 75 pounds a yard
upwards until the road from Albany to
Vaquina Is one of the best on the
Southern Pacific Bystem. What a lovely
trip it Is from Portland to Yaqulna
over this completed roadbed, with its
new steel and Its completed ballast.
Gravel to the extent of 300 to 360 car
loads a mtle has been hauled from the
. Willamette River at Albany and placed
on this new road, or rather on this old
road made new. On the way from Al
bany here we crossed the Yaqulna
River 15 times. We wound around,
facing every point of the compass. We
. faced east and west, north and south,
and we crossed the great divide
through the Coast Range, and never
a grade to exceed 2 3-10 per cent.
Wealth of Landscape Seen.
Through a splendid country, over
hills that will soon be teeming with
the axes of the homesteaders, across
great burns where homes are already
made beside shady streams alive with
trout, around woodlands where the hus
bandman can turn his klne loose to
erase upon the verdant grass lands,
through slashings that will next year
be paying revenue to the owners,
across flats and fallows that the
homesteaders may well envy, and, en
vying, appropriate as their own
through the forest primeval and the
woodlands where the clearing will
mean, something equivalent to fortune
. a "road of a thousand wonders," be
cause every mile Is a saUe of beauty
to-any who choose to buy or to take
at first hand from the Government.
At 6 o'clock we were here. The only
trouble Is that we are not here to
stay the season out, but we are here
long enough to say that the liar who
says the trip from Portland here is not
one of pure Joy well, he is simply a
fellow who tells what is untrue.

OREGON SENATOR FAVORS PAUSE
, ipt r EGisLATiosr.
Authority Under Existing Statutes De
clared Suf Helen t to Pat End to
Dishonest Business.
OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 9 Senator Lane, of Ore
gon, after watching the wheels of Con
cress go round for upwards of 16
months. Is convinced that the National
Legislature is legislating too much, and
might best serve the public interests
by closing up shop and giving the
country a rest. This Is only one of
many conclusions the Oregon Senator
has reached after seeing Congress in
action. He has said heretofore that
be disapproves of caucus control of
legislation; he disapproves of executive
sessions for the transaction of public
business; he thinks the Senate might
well be dispensed with, in the Interest
of good legislation, and he thinks some
means should be devised to prohibit
the great waste of time in useless de
bate. . ,
Senator Lane was discussing the
trade commission bill a few days ago
when he digressed for a moment to
voice his latest criticism on Congress.
He then said:
"There are too many laws now, in my
opinion. One citizen of Oregon sug
gested to me the other day that this
Government would be some hundreds
of millions of dollars ahead each year
if Congress were to pass a law by
which it would hold a session but once
in 10 years, and that its powers be con
fined to the repealing of laws. I think
he was pessimistic; but we have plenty
of laws now and plenty of authority
under the laws already In existence to
put a stop to dishonest methods of
carrying on business."

L. C. Gilman, President, Explains Atti
tude of Company and Cites Eco
nomic Reason for Refusal.
VANCOUVER, Wash., July 9. (Spe.
cla.l.J "Railroads have no way of se
curinc money except from the public
so the greater the amount of money
spent in construction, operation ana
maintenance, the greater amount the
nublic has to pay," said I. C. Gilman,
president of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle Railroad vompany, at a meet
ing held in the Vancouver Commer
cial Club rooms today. . '
The meeting discussed the proposed
depot at Second and Washington
streets asked for by a number of peo
ple, who have ' petitioned the Wash
ington Public Service Commission.
Mr. Gilman said frankly that- he
was opposed to building the depot at
the place asked, which is about 4000
feet from the union depot, and that he
ttpA.ilft vint iinlnci itmnllni1 tn dO'SO.
He explained that the company does
not own land on which to build a
platform long enough to accommumn.u
the trains to stop there; that an ele-
Hannt wniilH hara frt huHd! that
stopping trains within such a short
distance of the terminals was mosm
ous; that an agent could not be kept
there; baggage could not be handled
there; that such a depot would not be
a credit to the city; there is not room
fn. o uMotrorlr which would be IJ6C-
essary; that an elevated depot would be
dangerous, ana tnat tne wwi i Dip
ping trains would be considerable.
t a T1 w T Irnnnswar and
Dennis NicbolB, the committee from
the Commercial ciud, were pmnib
Mr. Irwin said that he believed it
would be to the business interests of
the city to have the local trains stop
at Washington or Main streets.
John H. Elwell made a splendid talk
for the depot.
Others who spoke In favor of the
plan In the face of the argument of
the railroad officials, were Clement
Scott, C C. Stumberg, George P. Lar
sen, A. B. Eastham and Christian En
gleman. '

BEND, Or., July 9. (Special.) Get
ting married, so far as their constlt
nann is concerned. Is becoming a
strenuous experience for officials of
the city of Bend.

friends gave him a surprise banquet at
the Em Blem clubhouse, but it was
not until the dinner was over that the
real surprise commenced. Then Mr.
Miller was enmeshed in chains ana lea
through" the streets, much like a cap
tive bear, while his entertainers ren
dered, or rather rended, the wedding
march on the bazzoo horns of the torn
Blem - Club, which have a sound
blended of fine-tooth combs and tune
less cornets. After the parade the pro
testing Mayor was dragged to the stage
of the Dream Theater and there ex
hibited to t-n admiring audience, while
remarks appropriate to the occasion
were called Ion
