TRAIN SERVICE GUT
Each Company to Make' One
Trip Less to Seattle Daily.
SAVING WILL BE $400,000
Three Lines Operating Agree to Re
duce Xii mber of Ttnns In Effort
to Overcome Deficit and Fur
ther Reduction Is Likely.
In keeping with the policy of re
trenchment now in effect on all rail
roads, the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and O.-W. R. & N. Company, be
ginning? next Sunday, each will witn
draw one train each way between Port
land and Seattle.
This action will effect an annual sav
ing of approximately $100,000 to these
carriers.
Under the schedule that foes into
effect on Sunday the following with
drawals will be made:
By the Great Northern No. 360, leav
ing Portland at 12:30 A. M. and arriv
ing; at Seattle at 7:45 A. M.;. No. 356
southbound, leaving Seattle at 10:45
M. and arriving in Portland at 6
A. M.
By the Northern Pacific No 414
northbound, leaving Portland at 10:30
A. M.. arriving at Seattle at 4:45 P.M.;
No. 433 southbound, leaving Seattle at
12 o'clock and arriving in Portland at
6 P. M.
By the O.-W. R. & N. Company No.
670 northbound, leaving Portland at
1:45 P. M. and arriving at Seattle at
8:30 P. M. ; No. 561 southbound, leav
ing Seattle at 7:30 A. AI. and arriving
In Portland at 2 P. E
- Eight Trains Left.
This arrangement otill will leave
right trains each way daily between
Portland and the Sound. At present
there are 11 each way. But it is gen
erally conceded that there is not enough
business for even eight trains. Six
trains would be enough. It is ex
pected that after the new schedule is
given a thorough trial, efforts will be
made to reduce the number of trains
to six or seven.
The new schedule still will leave the
Northern Pacific and O.-W. R. & N.
Company with a. train apiece leaving
either terminal at approximately mid
night. Business even in periods when
travel is heavy is not sufficient to Jus
tify the operation of two midnight
trains in each direction.
It is understood that tentative plans
have been suggested to both the North
ern Pacific and the O.-W. R. & N. Com
pany to enter into an agreement that
will permit tham to alternate in the
operation of theue night trains for
periods of about, three months at a
time.
Deficit May Be Overcome.
It is pointed out that this would re
duce expenses further and enable the
carriers to operate their Portland
Seattle passenger business at a profit.
It is estimated that it costs $1 a mile
to operate a parsenger train between
Portland and Seattle. The distance is
3S5 miles. The expense for each road
therefore Is 370 daily for one train
each way, or a combined saving for theJ
tnree roaas of jino a day, making an.
aggregate of J405.150 for the year.
Seattle Trains Cut Down.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 19. Further
retrenchments In train operations out
of Seattle have been arranged by -the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern. In addition to withdrawing one
train between Portland and Seattle,
the Northern Pacific also will withttraw
Its "Grand View" passenger service, be
tween Seattle and North Taklma, and
the Great Northern will withdraw
trains No. 447 and 448 between Seattle
and Beilingham.
CHEMAWA FUND FAVORED
Rev. S. A. Eliot Says Ho 1VIU Ask
$50,000 for Indian School.
EUGENE, Or.. Nov. 19. OSJpeciaL)
Improvements for . the . Chemawa
Indian School to cost approximately
450,000 will be recommended by Rev.
Samuel A. Eliot, of Boston, a member
of the United States BoarU of Indian
Affairs, who visited Eugene today. He
will leave tonight- for California,
after visiting the University of Oregon
and the members of the Unitarian
Church in Eugene. He is. president of
the American Unitarian- Association,
and is the eon of the presflderit-emeritus
of Harvard. Mr. Eliot inspected the
Chemawa Indian School, at Salem yes
terday. "Those Indian children are receiving
the same instructions as the white chil
dren in Oregon; h-e-said.
He declares that thus buildings and
campus are in need of improvements.
He. does not believe that he can get
J100.000, but says that the recommen
dation probably will amount to half
that sum.
ALBANY MAY WIDEN LIMITS
Petitions Ask Election to Decide on
Changes of" Boundaries.
ALBANY, Or.. Nov. 19. (Special.)
Petitions for a special election to ex
tend Albany's city limits are now in
circulation. Albany has the same cor
porate limits it has had for a quarter
of a century and a considerable por
tion of the city is now outside the legal
limits.
Twice in recent years efforts have
been made to - take in new territory,
but have faibed because too much ter
ritory has been included in the pro
posed limits. These petitions ask to
add only well-settled territory. The
district which it is proposed to annex
at this time, includes Wright's Addi
tion, City "View Addition, Albany
Heights, Iinnmont and Central Addi
tion. , "
FAIR PLANS PROGRESS
Oregon. Building and Exhibit Being
Hushed for Opening.
Satisfactory progress in the prepara
tion of the state building at the San
Franciisco Fair was reported at a meet
ing yesterday of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition Commission of Oregon. The
TneetiBig was devoted mostly to the con
sideration of details regarding various
exhibits and the improvement of the
grounds about the building.
O. M. Clark, chairman of the Com
mission, announced that the building
liad. been accepted from the contractors
and that the work that remains to be
dorm will be completed soon.
One of' the exploitation features of
the project will be a large relief map
showing the state's leading natural re
sources. The map is being prepared
by the Oregon Bureau of Mines at the
Oregon Agricultural College.
In addition to individual exhibits of
Oregon's resources and manufactures.
It is probable that a comprehensive
.mineral display will be made. The Ore
gon Bureau of Mines will co-operate
with the Commission In the installa
tion and maintenance of this exhibit.
Members attending the meeting were:
O. M. Clark, chairman, and John F.
Logan, of Portland; R. A. Booth, of
Eugene; W. L. Thompson, of Pendle
tn, and C. L. Hawley. of McCoy.
STATE GETS RIGHT OF WAY
Secretary of Interior Gives Land for
Tumalo Canal.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 19. (Special.) The
right of way for the canal and reser
voir of the Tumalo irrigation project
has been approved by the Secretary of
the Interior, according to information
received in the office of State Engineer
Lewis today. ,.
The canal and reservoir were built
some time ago, but right of way across
Government lands has heretofore been
refused on the grounds that the state
is not a canal or ditch company and
therefore cannot obtain the benefits of
Federal right of way laws.
' The Desert Land Board appealed from
this decision through the Attorney
General, and the notification just re
ceived confirms the state's contention
that the Carey act itself carries with
it the authority for a state to obtain
right of way over Government lands
in accordance with Federal laws and
regulations.
V
LIBRARY TAX TO BE ASKED
Finance Committee of Institution
Announces Need of Funds.
That the Library Association of
Portland will ask for the levy of a
.5 mill tax for the county library has
been determined by the finance com
mittee, of which W. M. Ladd is chair
man. The law prescribes that- the county
library shall receive .5 of a mill of the
annual levy providing the association
officers think that amount is required.
Last year only .45 of a mill was needed
by the association, but the work has
increased so rapidly that the full
amount will be appropriated for the
coming period.
The funds derived from the library
tax will take care of the expenses of
maintenance, operation, the purchase
of about 8000 volumes and for the use
of the administration and extension
committees in charge of the Central
Library and the 50 library stations
scattered throughout the district.
CANADIAN CONCERN OUSTED
Judge Kelly Makes Order Final Bar
ring It From State.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 19. (Special.) Cir
cuit Judge Kelley has issued an order
making the injunction permanent
against the National Mercantile Asso
ciation, of Vancouver, B. C, and pro
hibiting it from doing business in this
state. -
Corporation Commissioner Watson,
several months ago, obtained a re
straining order against the company
operating in Oregon. Its officers asked
that the order be modified so that pay
ments on contracts could be completed.
Judge Kelly declined to do that and
then the company asked, that the in
junction be dismissed, which the court
refused to do. It has offices in Port
land. Pasco Law May Lower Salaries.
PASCO, Wash., Nov. 19. (Special.)
The City Council met last night and
passed several ordinances which, if not
vetoed by the Mayor, will make several
reductions in the salaries of city em
ployes for the coming year. , The City
Clerk's salary was reduced from $85 per
month to 25. The City Attorney was
cut from $75 to $50 and an attempt was
made to reduce the salary of the City
Treasurer. One man was laid off from
work on the streets and general econ
omy plan was discussed. .During the
coming year, as the saloons go out of
business, the city's revenue from saloon
licenses will be reduced about $6000.
Coffee and Sugar.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19. The coffee market
was more or less unsettled here today. Bra
zilian exchange on London was hig her and
the few offers reported in the cost and
freight market wer? generally steady at un
changed prices, but recent importations by
Canadian interests are being put on - the
market for sale here at comparatively low
quotations and the spot situation was
easier in consequence, with Rio 7s quoted
at 64c and Santos 4s at 10 cents. Liquida
tion of December in advance of the notices
expected next week continued through the
voluntary committee, which reported sales
of 47,000 bags. December closed at 5.26 to
S.SOc. March at B.64 to 8.69c and May at

WEATHER CONDITIONS.
A depression of moderate energy is cen
tral northeast of Montana and a large high
pressure area extends from the North "Pa
cific States southeastward to Texas and
thence northwestward to the Lakes Region.
Rain has fallen in Western Washington and
in the Atlantic States from Massachusetts
to Florida. It Is much colder in the Mid
dle West and decidedly warmer along the
east slope of the Rocky Mountains.
The conditions are favorable for unset
tled weather in tills district Friday, with
rain in Western Oregon and Western Wash
ington, with probably snow in the eastern
portions of the states and Northern Idaho.
FORECASTS:
Portland and vicinity Friday, unsettled,
probable rain; southerly winds.
Oregon and Washington Friday unset
tled, probably rain west, light snow or rain
east portion: southerly wines.
Idaho Friday, fair south, probsibly rain
or snow north oortior..

OATS SALES LARGE
Fifteen Thousand Tons Taken
by European Governments.
NORTHWEST SUPPLY SMALL
Barley Also Wanted on Export Ac-
count and Eastern States May
Likewise Buy Here Wheat
Markets Are Holding Steady.
Including the quantities already floated
and the contracts yet to be filled, 15,000
tons of oats have been disposed of to Eu
ropean a-overnments so far, and more will
probably follow.
The Northwestern crot was only. 60 per
cent as large as last, year's, and when it is
remembered that all of the big 1913 crop
was disposed of. , the future of the market
certainly looks good to the oats growers
in this section. With the home consumption
more than sufficient to take care of the
smaller quantity produced this year, the
added war demand from Europe can hardly
do otherwise than make a higher market,
Oats stocks In the country are much re
duced. Only a few points in Eastern Wash
ington have any considerable supply, and as
far as the Willamette Volley is concerned
all the oats there will, no doubt, be needed
by farmers. . It Is estimated that only five
to ten per cent of the crop left In the North
west is in farmers' hands. '
The future ot the barley market is also
satisfactory. Foreign inquiries are agalu
coming in and shipments to Europe are ex
pected to be resumed. Early In the season
barley exports were liberal, amounting alto
gether to 454.893 bushels, but for the past
two months none have gone forward. The
Eastern states are also looking to the
Northwest for barley supplies. Large quan
tities of California barley have gone to the
East through the Canal, and the bids for
Northwestern barley are now close to the
point where business can be done. Bariey
Is well sold up In Eastern Washington, and
it Is said onlv 30 per cent of the crop Is
left in the three states.
In snlte of these conditions oats and ba
ley prices now are not much above normal,
whereas wheat prices are 3o per cent above
the average, owing to the European war de
mand. Tradma- on the local exchange yesterday
was limited. Five thousand bushels of De
cember bluestem were sold at $1.19. Bid
prices did not vary greatly from those of
the preceding day. but more was asxed by
sellers, probably because of the presence of
a large mill buyer on the floor.
The Eastern wheat market was steady
and unchanged. Carmen

FOREIGN SELLING FEARED
Further-; Advances In Copper and
Lead Indicate Better Demand for
These Products Railroads Ne
gotiating for Equipment,
NEW YORK, Nov. 10. An unexpected re
versal of the definite plan to reopen the
stocK Exchange on Saturday for trading in
bonds was the most noteworthy Incident In
tne financial district today. Reasons given
for the annulment dealt mainly with the
unpreparedness of certain large bond and
Investment houses to meet the proposed sit
uation, which it was feared might provoke
ziooa or liquidation from foreign and do
mestic sources. '
It was significant nf the situation as a
whole that prices in the markets new ' In
operation suffered material declines earlier
in the day. Some of the listed stocks traded
In without the sanction of the exchange de.
cllned from two to three points and accord
ing to trustworthy reports, most of the of
ferings were in the form of foreign-owned
certificates.
Developments otherwise were encouraging.
ine monev market showed further ,a with
a great lowering of the rate for commercial
paper. Exchange on London was firmer
unu an aavance in francs was noted. Theie
reaction in both markets, however,
when the demand waned.
Further advance in copper and lead sug
gested a better demand for those products,
although the home consumption continued
at low ebb. Reports that several railroads
were negotiating for new equipment, includ
ing the Harrlman and Hill lines, accentuated
the better feeling In that industry.
Only one important railway report for
October, that of the Southern Pacific, was
submitted. It showed a net loss of $853,000.
The reports of minor roads disclosed heavy
gross decreases.
BOND HOUSES AKE UNPREPARED
Opposition Bevelopts to Reopening; of Pub
lic Market.
NEW YORK. Nov. in. That the financial
machinery of the country in its relation to
the securities market still calls for delicate
handling was made evkient today by the
sudden reversal of the plan of the New York
btock Exchange to resume trading In bonds
at an early date. Officials of the exchange
early in the dav. authorized definite dealings
In all classes of bonds listed on the board,
which approximate 12,600 issues, to bo re
sumed Saturday, subject to "minimum
prices."
The news was received with considerable
""taction by a large element of the mem .
bership and In some cases arrangements
were Immediately made to open communi
cation by telephone and telegraph with out-of-town
branch offices and clients.
In the earlv afternoon, following a hur
ried conference between the governors and
the foremost banking Interests, word came
that the entire nrolect had been abandoned
ror an indefinite period. In announcing the
annulment the "co-.nnjittee of five," which
has exercised plenary powers over the af
fairs of the exchange throughout its period
of closure, stated that "the magnitude of
trie Interests affected has led to unforeseen
difficulties which will necessitate further
consideration."
The nature of the difficulties was not dis
closed but It was learned that formidable
opposition had emanated from several quar
ters. Some of the largest bond dealers were
said to have emphasized their disapproval on
the ground that the time set for the re
sumption was too short to permit the care
ful handling of their commitments. Others
ouDoscd renewal of operations at this Junc
ture because of their belief that heavy sell-Ine-
orders from abroad would follow.
Furthermore, banks nnd fir.Mnclal Institu
tions with a large Wall street clientele
were reported to have advised earnestly
against open trading because of the pos
sible effect on the loan situation. Finally
the international banking group was de
clared to have expressed Its opposition be,
cause of the lack of encouragement from
London and the uncertainties attending the
entire foreign exchange situation.

LATE WHEAT RALLY
Market Helped by Falling Off
in Western Receipts.
LAST PRICES UNCHANGED
Early Tone Heavy, Due to Assertions
That Demand at Liverpool Had
Been Checked by Wednes
day's Chicago Advance.
CHICAGO, Nov. 19. Sharp falling oit in
receipts at Western primary points helped
to rally wheat today from a setback due to
lower quotations at Liverpool. There was a
steady close. Corn lost UhtC to ttHc
net and oats 1-lOc Provisions finished at
a ranee varying from 30 cents down to a
rise ot 17 ft cents.
Best prices for wheat today were reached
In the last hour, when the market went half
a cent above last night, largely because of
attention to statements showing that West
ern primary arrivals for the seven days Just
enaea were 4.fcW.uuo Dushels less than for
the preceding seven days. Heaviness In the
market early was accompanied by assertions-
that demand at' -Liverpool had been
noticeably checked . by yesterday's advance
here. ,-
Cold weather had the effect of Increasing
rural ofTers of corn and of bringing about a
good deal of selling pressure on the Decem
ber option.
Prices for oats held comparatively steady.
owing to the smallness of receipts.
r or the most part provisions ware stronger
as a result of covering by shorts. An excep
tion was November lard, which was appar
ently being unloaded by one of the big
packers.
