TTTF MnnN'TXO OKEGOKTAI?. THURSDAY, APRIjL 6, 1916. ENGINEER'S DREAM OFFICIALS AND TRAINMEN WHO TOOK OUT FIRST REGULAR FROM EUGENE. TRAIN OVER WILLAMETTE - PACIFIC 9m "WHAT DO YOU MEA AT LAST REALIZED 6 N, First of Willamette-Pacific Trains Is Sent on Its Way From Eugene. LINE HAS COST $11,000,000 Southern Pacific Officials Aboard to View Result of Long Work and Large Expenditure to Connect Coos and Lane. EOGBXE, Or., April 5. (Special.) TVith the call "All Aboard" and a wave of his band to the west. Conductor K. Jr. Baker, at "7:20 A. M. today etarted the first passenger train on Its way from Eugene to Marshfield; the Willamette-Pacific Railroad 121 miles in length, a branch of the Southern Pa cific system, became a reality. There was no great crowd at the station, but as W. P. Hoey, chief en gineer of 'the construction forces, boarded the rear coach for a rid be tween the two cities he reviewed- the results of his labor begun in Novem ber, 1911. Accompanying Mr. Hoey on the ini tial passenger run over the entire line was a party of officials of the South ern Pacific Company as follows: W. It. Scott, vice-president and general manager of the Southern Pacific Com pany, of San Francisco; J. Q. Barlow, assistant chief engineer, of San Fran cisco; Fi L. Burckhalter, superinten dent of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon; F. M. Siefer, division engi neer; H. A. Hlnshaw, general freight agent, and Ralph E. lloody, attorney. Engineer's Dream Realized. It was a sort of day of triumph for Chief Engineer Hoey. In his pocket he carried a small blueprint folder, a technical record of the most important railroad construction within the State of Oregon in recent years. On a field of blue and in letters of white, con densed to statistics, there appeared on four small pages the story of the work which had made the dream pf a. gen eration the unlocking of the re sources of the coast regions of Lane, Douglas and Coos counties come true. At the center was a map of the three counties in which almost $11,000,000 has been expended since the work of cutting the way through the moun tains and extending the street - rails over innumerable bodies of water be gan. A heavy line indicated the new railroad over which the first train traveled today. From Eugene it ran, as indicated by scale, 34 miles almost west to Cush man, a point near Florence, Lane Coun ty's seaport town, where it turned sharply and directly south, continuing to Marshfield, after traversing the shores of Tsiltcoos and Tahkenitch lakes and crossing the Umpqua River at Gardiner, where the bridge, the last piece of construction, remains to be completed, a crossing for the present being accomplished by ferry, which ne cessitates a. transfer of passengers to the Southern section of the train. Nine Tunnels on Line. The most important cities and towns nre Eugene, Noti, Mapleton, Cushman. Gardiner, Reedsport, North Lake, Hau ser. Coos, North Bend and Marsh field. There are nine tunnels, aggregating 2.6 miles, and bVz miles of permanent trestle and 39 steel bridges, the steel structures aggregating 1.6 miles in length and requiring S100 tons of steel in their construction. The bridge over Coos Bay .is nearly a mile in length, and one of the longest in the North west. This bridge and two others, the Umpqua and the seventh crossing of the Siuslaw, have draw spans to ad mit the passage of ocean-going ves sels. Of the total of about $11,000,000 ex pended in the construction of the rail road, approximately 60 per cent of this sum was used for labor and materials In Oregon. j Resources Are Large. The trip was made today, leaving Eugene at 7:20 A. M. and arriving in Marshfield at 3:30 P. M-, a stay of two hours at the Umpqua transfer being provided for in the schedule. The train leaving Marshfeid at 9:30 A. M. arrived in Eugene at 5:15 P. M. The crew in charge of the first train leaving Eugene was as follows: R. M. Baker, conductor; C. E. Earles and "VV. 'A. Taylor, brakemen; John Dumphrey, engineer, and H. V. Couch, fireman. The principal resource of the coun try tributary to the new railroad is timber. Already trainloads of logs are being shipped to mills near Eugene. The Coos County coal fields will be brought within reach of the upper Willamette Valley. Within the last few days two corporations have or ganized to engage in fishing, and their products from the sea will be carried to market in large quantities by rail. In many of the fertile valleys condi tions for dairying and fruitgrowing are ideal. A formal celebration of the comple tion of the railroad will be held in July. Centralia to Censor Movies. CENTRA LI A, April 4. (Special.) Mrs. J. W. Watson, Mrs. E. K. Hark ness and Mrs. Truman Freeman were elected an advisory committee at a meeting held Monday afternoon by the Women's Civic Club of Centralia. Mrs. William ' Christensen, Mrs. F. J. Bick ford and Mrs. A. C. Gesler were named as a board of moving picture censors, which will act in conjunction with a similar committee to be appointed by Mayor John Galvin tomorrow. A con stitution and bylaws were adopted by the club Monday. ItCuresThroifJi the Pores A Boon to the Speeders. Nerv Pore Treatment Prevents Sunburn, Chaps, Freckles and Wrinkles.

RICH RESOURCES TAPPED Stage Iiines That Have Operated for Years Suspended on Dajr of Rail Connection -Wharves and Spurs to Be Built. ' (Continued From First Pae.) the Pacific. Coast for inspection, and travel is expected to double over that of any other year in the history of the territory. ' It is now possible to drop into a, plush upholstered coach and be whirled away towards the interior without undergoing the hardships and jolts of staging, but there are still those who see the disappearance of romance and frontier, with the advent of the first train. Until the . bridge across Coos Bay was started by Engineer Broughton and his crew of 100 men, probably 90 per cent of Coos Bay people were only hopeful the railroad might be com pleted. Leading men, who have looked for ward to the completion of the railroad. are yet unable to appreciate the far reaching effects the connections will bring Coos Bay. Docking; Facilities Offered. The Willamette-Pacific skirts the waterfront on Coos Bay for three and a half miles and is adjacent to wharves and docks both in Marshfield and North Bend. There is but one point, however, where cargoes can be transferred di rectly from ships to trains or vice versa at the railroad dock. The com pany has a spur running along the railroad dock that will accommodate six or seven cars, and freight can be taken from the hold of a vessel and landed on the cars by the same opera tion, and lumber or other freight can be handled from the cars to the hold of vessels. Spurs Are to Be Built. The Smith terminal dock, in the heart of Marshfield, has a spur, but 1t is on the west side of the warehouse, 80 feet from the place where vessels moor. Ex changes here must be done by long shoremen. The ocean dock, in the north part of Marshfield. is 150 feet from the railway tracks, and, unless a spur is eventually built to this dock, the trans fer of freight between the railroad and ships will not be extensive. In North Bend the railroad has planned for spurs to several industries and will have one running to a dock owned by the Willamette-Pacific. Among the enterprises that are sus pended by the railroad is that of the beach auto stage line, which on occa sions has carried ii passengers in a day between Florence and Coos Bay at a price of $7 each, amounting to more than $300 dally In some instances. The owners, V. C. Gorst, Jerry Kinney, N. J. Cornwall and others, are this week removing their automobiles from the run and offering them for sale in Marshfield. North Bend and Florence. The stage line between Myrtle Point and Roseburg also is expected to be suspended. Business connections between Coos Bay and Umpqua River towns will be greatly improved by the railroad serv ice, for heretofore freight went by the tug Gleaner, which made only spas modic trips. Lakeside, the Summer re sort, 16 miles from Marshfield, will profit by the service, for the method of getting there was by a seven-mile boat ride and staging over muddy or dusty roads for .another nine miles. Now travelers can go out and back the same day. with three hours and a half be tween trains. Excursions will be run during the Summer months. Changing the mail from stage to rail service places it in the Coast offices one day earlier. . BLACKMAIL CHARGES FAIL Seattle Prosecutor lMsmisses Cali fornia and Montana Women. SEATTLE, April 6. Charges of con spiracy to blackmail, brought against Mrs. Isabell Clayburg, of Los Angeles, and Miss Lillian Peterson, of Billings, Mont., were dismissed today, in the Police Court at the request of the Prosecuting Attorney's office. The women were arrested in Califor nia and brought to Seattle at the re quest of Sheriff Hoge, who, declared he had evidence that the women had de coyed wealthy men to an apartment and afterward extorted money from them, using photographs taken in the apart ment. The prosecutor said today that the state had not sufficient evidence to proceed to a hearing. A similar charge against Miss Elsie Coots was dismissed last week. V BIG FORCE WORKING ROAD Highway Construction Well Way X"p Lewis Kiver. Under WOODLAND, Wash., April 6. (Spe cial.) A large force of men under the supervision of the construction engi neers are at work on what is known as the Powell grade section of the road up Lewis River on the Cowlitz County side, about four miles above here. The work at this point will be the con struction of about one and one-half miles of new road, further back from the river than the old road, thus avoid ing the trouble that has heretofore been experienced on account of slides, and besides making easier grades. This is the road that had one and one half miles of concrete hard-surface added to it last year, and which will have another one and one-half miles added this j-ear. Albany CIuTl Abandons Project. ALBANY. Or.. April 5. (Special.) The Albany Commercial Club will not remodel the old W. C. T. U. Hall in this city for use as its clubrooms. Re cently arrangements were made to pur chase this structure for use as club headquarters, but the club has decided that the cost of reconstructing it to meet the organization's needn would be too great, so the project has been aban doned.

SHIP M BLACKLIST Britain Forbids Use of Sacra mento by Charterers. ENEMY CAPITAL IS BARRED Vessel in Question Is One Bought by San Francisco Business Men and Which "Surrendered" Her Cargo to German. LONDON, April 5. The American steamer Sacramento, which came into public notice early in the war when the American Government charged her with violation of neutrality lawa in connection with the supplying of coal to .German warships in the Pacific, is Included in the latest blacklist of neu tral vessels issued by the Admiralty. Charterers are warned not to use this steamer or any of the other vessels mentioned in the blacklist, which it is charged are being operated with cap ital of subjects at war with Great Britain or are engaged in unneutral service. The list, which is the fourth issued by the Admiralty, shows a. substantial increase in blacklisted tonnage over the previous list. While the blacklist Is larger than ever, the list of exemptions for vessels chartered for the allied trade Is also growing. SAN FRANCISc67April 5. The Sac ramento, formerly the German steamer Alexandria, was purchased, after the beginning of the war. by a syndicate of San Francisco business men. Loaded with general supplies she left San Francisco in October, 1914, ostensibly for Valparaiso. It was shown subsequently that the vessel proceeded to Juan Fernandez Island, off the coast of Chile and there "surrendered" her cargo to ships of a German squadron. The members of the syndicate that bought the Sacramento, several promi nent business men charged with fi nancing and otherwise . aiding the al leged unneutral transaction and others were Indicted by the Federal grand New Perkins Hotel Fifth and Washington Streets, Portland, Oregon REDUCED ROOM RATES The homelike stopping place for those appreciating the, dol lar's full worth.

When the doors of the Delovage Jewelry Store opened yesterday a good sized crowd walked in, and while buy ing was at its height, nearly everyone asked: "What do you mean, 'The Beans Are Stewed'?" Also, the advertising man of the Journal staff dropped into the store with this : "Last night, at a meeting of the Retail Merchants' Association, sev eral members were discussing your 'Stewed Beans' ad. "Some said that this kind of adver tising wras good, some said it was bad, others said it was plain rottenl "They wanted to know whether that was good advertising. "Suddenly one of the members at the meeting jumped up, saying: "'Certainly that's good advertising. It's got you fellows talking about it!'" That's the very reason I headlined that ad "The Beans Are Stewed." Maurie Delovage told me to arouse the public's curiosity and to get the readers to talk about their retiring-from-business sale. So you see there is method in my madness also we are kept quite busy, thank you, selling jewelry at V price and diamonds at Ya off. Whenever you can get the public to talk about you, your fortune is made. The Delovage boys are positively going out of busi ness and they are going out of town. 3254 jury and are now awaiting trial.

(Spe months. infant Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre vious day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleasing. sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter of a pound of limestone phos phate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with biliousness, con stipation, stomach trouble or rheuma tism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly. Adv. the WILLIAM SPIELBERG. JEWELRY and DIAMONDS daughter of I. C.

The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good nh.irniacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kid neys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acida in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.
