"We are ready to start work on our
electrification to Corvallls as soon aa
the Corrallla City Council (rants us a
franchise." said D. TV. Campbell, assist
ant general manager of the Southern
Pacific, upon hla - return yesterday
from a month's business visit In Ean
Francisco.
Mr. Campbell aent to Corvallla from
Fan Franclaco last week bis plans for
the Corrallla electrification. The pro
posal will be up for consideration by
the Corrallla Council some time this
week, and Mr. Campbell la hopeful that
It will act so that he can begin work
defore the rainy weather seta in.
-We hare much material on the
around." he explained yesterday, "and
It will take us little time to get the
men together. It is our Intention to
push the work as rapidly as possible
until it la completed.

This presents a situation not entirely
satisfactory either to the company or
to Its passenger patrons. Passengers
traveling from Portland to points souin
of Whlteson aro required to change
cars at Whlteson from the electric to

- If the Corrallls Council grants the
franchise as requested. It Is probable
that ! electrification can be complet

new year.
New Use to Be Inspected.
Mr. Campbell, together with Ralph
y-. Moody, attorney for the Southern
Pacific, and Krank L. Burckhalter. su
perintendent, will leare the latter part
cf the week for a trip orer the new
Cooe Bay line. They will Inspect the
work now in progress and Tlew plans
for future construction. Mr. Campbell
believes that the Coos Bay line will be
completed and ready for operation
early next May.
While In San Francisco Mr. Campbell
eld conferences) with representatives
of the engineers, firemen, conductors
and trainmen employed on the Southern
Pacific to settle rarloua minor local
disputes of the employes with the com
pany. All these affairs, he reports,
were amicably adjusted.
He also was called to Chicago soon
after leaving Portland to attend an
other meeting between the representa
tive of the Western railroads and the
engineers and firemen who hava been
negotiating on wage questions for
more than a year.
The differences finally were settled
py a board of arbitration, but it seems
that the board's findings were not
precisely understood by either side. In
some particulars. It waa decided at
the recent Chicago conference to call
the board together again to Interpret
Its decisions.
Bareaa to Be. Abolished.
One of the first questions of Im
portance considered by Mr. Campbell
upon his return to hie office yesterday
was the action of the Northern Pacific
and the Milwaukee railroads In with
drawing from the Northwestern demur
rage bureau. Their action followed
previous action of the Oreat Northern
railroad and left the Southern Pacific
and the O.-W. R. N. Company alone
as members of the bureau.
It was virtually decided yesterday
by Mr. Campbell and M. J. Buckley,
general superintendent of the O.-W. R.
A N. Company, to abolish the bureau
and to close the offices which have
been maintained In Seattle.
It Is probable that the Southern
Pacific will handle Its Oregon demur
rage cases through Its San Francisco
office and that the O.-w. 11. t N. Com
pany will handle Its demurrages
through Its car service bureau.

ST. LOUIS. Mo, July I J- Suburban
ites living along the St. Louis, Lake

Louis County, are walking these days,
while a private guard la watching over
two diminutive trolley cars two
thirds of the railway's rolling stock
which have been ' seised by Deputy
Sheriff's to satisfy a Judgment of a for
mer employe.
But there is consolation, the patrons
say. In that the line la not as long as
lta name would Indicate. The line ex
tends from Grarota road to Afton (Just
a nice constitutional), and those who
used It say walking la nothing new to
them. Only recently the line was tied
up a week because somebody thought
lessly put something on the track.
The problem confronted by the sub
urbanites is not nearly as puixllng as
that which Is faced by the man who
now has the cars. He Is Prank Piper,
who says the company owes him
tSOJ.Ot back wages. He said he was
the superintendent of the line.
Piper wss wondering what he would
do with the cars. .
"You might get some rails and build
a little line of your own." one of the
deputlea suggested.
Plper waa formerly superintendent
of the company.and he eued for back
pay. He obtained a Judgment May S
In Circuit Judge Hennlnga" court.
When the Judgment was not paid. Pi
per swore out sn execution so thst be
could hold the cars.
The Lekewood line runs from Cra
yola road to Afton. about four miles.
The line waa built by a real estate
company which promoted the sale of
the Lakewood homesltes.
Piper, according to Chouteau,
claimed that he worked for the com
pany In ItOl and that It was then
his salary accumulated.
Chouteau aald he was surprised at
the action taken br Piper, aa he un
derstood the company'a attorney had
appealed the case.
"It strikes me that Piper waited a
long time to put In a claim for bark
wages." said Chouteau. He said the
tying up of the cara would cripple the
line, but he was sure everything would
be adjusted In time to haul the suburb
anites fill morning. About 300 per
sons use the cara dally.

to smoke whenever you feel Jike it and without any effect
on the tongue or throat or any fear of a heavy or "heady" ,

such as Fatima, a. cigarette composed of all-pure tobaccos"
of considerable aroma, mellowed by being aged and care-,

How to FinJ
" yours'

To avoid blindly trying too many different cigarettes,
;ask yourself, first of all, this question :
"Just what do I Wee in a cigarette t "
If you smoke only a few. every day, you " may" prefer
a cigarette which is rather rich or heavy and "oily." Or
you may like one which has a rather strong "oriental"
taste with a pungency almost like perfume. Or you may
want a cigarette with that noticeably "sweetish". Egyptian
All cigarettes are pure, but when it comes to the taste,
nobody can help you choose. You simply have to decide
for yourself.
Of course, Fatima's taste may not appeal to you.
But most men who try Fatimas like the taste so well that
they seek no further otherwise Fatimas could never, have
uxm and held their enormous and growing leadership
amounting to ovetpneand a half BILLlONcigarettes a
year.
The one'purpoxe'qf this advertisement .is to ask you
in a fair and square way to give Fatimas (20 for J5c)
a good trial. If they don't happen to suit your taste,
you'll quit smoking them of course. But if you like
Fatimas as well as MOST men do, you'll be mighty glad
you read this advertisement and ACTED ON IT I
Below are two simple tests which you can easily make
and which may help you find your sensible cigarette.

Muddiest ot Rivers.
New York Sun.
The Missouri River is the muddiest
river in the Mississippi Valley; it car
ries more silt than any other large
river In the United States except pos
sibly the Rio Grande and the Colorado.
For every square mile of country
drained it carries downstream 1181 tons
of dissolved and suspended matter each
year. In ether words, according to the
United States Geological Purvey, the
river gathers annually from the coun
try that It drains more than 123,000,000
tons of silt and soluble matter, some
of which it distributes over the flood
plains below to form productive ag
ricultural lands, hut most of which
finds Its' way at last to the Gulf of
Mexico. It is by 'tnoans of data of
this kind that geologists compute the
rate at which the lands are being
eroded away. - .
It has. been shown that the Missouri
River is lowering the surface of 1.he
land drained by it at a rate of one
foot in 036 years. The surface of
the United States as a whole is now
being worn down at the rate of one
foot in 8120 years.- It has been es
timated that if this erosive action of
the streams of the United States could
have been concentrated on the Isth
mus of Panama it would have dug In

completed after ten years' work with
the most powerful appliances yet de
