J. M. Hannaford, president of tho
Northern Pacific, visited in Portland ror
a few hours yesterday just long
enough "to get fully acquainted with
the local situation and then proceeded
on his swing- over the western end of
the road, all of which will com$ in for
a close scrutiny before he returns to
his headquarters in St. Paul.
Mr. Hannaford is in an optimistic
mood. His mood reflects the condition
of the Northern Pacific. Earnings are
growing steadily month by month; di
rectors of the r&ad recently authorized
construction of approximately 75 miles
of new line in Montana at a cost of
nearly $2,500,000, and the wages of
several thousand clerks, station agents
and unskilled -workmen employed by
the Northern Pacific have been in
creased from S to 25 per cent.
The only, discordant element in the
situation is tne car shortage common
to all carriers but relief is in sight
in that particular.
Eaatcrn Roads Blamed.
"The Eastern roads are displaying
more of a tendency to send some of our
cars back home," commented Tlr. Han
naford, "and if they do, we'll be able
to get along fairly well. If we had all
our own cars or the equivalent of our
own cars on our lines we could take
care of the business. If the Eastern
roads let them go we can overcome the
shortage.
"But it must be remembered that
even in spite of the extreme and un
usual scarcity of cars we are handling
more business this year than ever be
fore. The reports of our car move
ments show it. Our earnings ought to
prove it."
The Northern Pacific, he explained,
has moved nearly 5000 cars of wheat,
originating west of the Rocky moun
tains., eastward this year. Normally
this wheat moves westward. Lumber,
merchandise, livestock, metal ores and
ail other commodities originating on
the line of the Northern Pacific are
moving in greater quantities.
Two Branch Linos Ordered.
The situation this produced is so en
couraging that the directors recently
ordered construction of two new branch
lines one connecting with the main
line at Laurel, Mont., into the Lake
Basin country, a distance of 38 miles,
and the other from Dixon, Mont., into
the Flathead Lake country, a distance
of 35 miles. Grant Smith, well-known
railroad contractor of Portland, has
been awarded the contract for the lat
ter piece of work. Both lines will tap
rich agricultural territory and will be
ready to move at least a part of next
year's crop.
Mr. Hannaford seems to be particu
, Jarly pleased over the conditions that
make it possible to advance the wages
of a large number of Northern Pacific
employes. The advance went into ef
fect November 1, but was made retro
active as of October 1. When the men's
checks for their October salaries were
distributed they found that their sal
aries had been increased. It was a sur
prise to most of the men, and obviously
a pleasant one.
New Equipment Probable.
"My only regret is that we couldn't
give them even more," confided the
Northern Pacific president.
So far as plans tor the coming year
are concerned, he reported that the
directors have nothing particular in
mind. It is probable, however, that
substantial appropriations will be made
lor new equipment and motive power,
the need of which has been accentu
ated by the present shortage.
Mr. Hannaford left last night for
Taeoma. He was accompanied on his
Portland visit by Judge George T. Ried,
of Tacoraa, assistant to the president;
V. G. Johnson, of St. Paul, assistant
controller, and E. C. Blanchard. of Ta
eoma, general manager of the Western
district. In company with A. D. Charl
ton, assistant general passenger agen,t,
nnd F. H. Kogarty, assistant general
freight agent in Portland, Mr. Hanna
ford called on a number of local busi
ness men and bankers while here yes
terday. OUSTED COP LOSES APPEAL
C. F. Hunter May Get Chance to
Quit Instead of Being Dismissed.
C. F. Hunter, ex-traffic policeman,
failed in his application yesterday for
reinstatement by the Municipal Civil
Service Board. The case was settled by
George C. Mason, of the Board, who
concurred with R. H. Thomas in sus
taining the discharge as made by
Mayor Albee. The Mayor dismissed Mr.
Hunter on a charge of conduct unbe
coming an officer, the offense having
been committed at a riotous party in
an East Side apartment-house.
Gus C. Moser, representing Mr.
Hunter, asked that Mr. Hunter receive
a chance to resign instead-of being
discharged. It was contended that in
- the opinion of the Civil Service Board
Mr. Hunter had violated no law, and
therefore should not have the stigma
of a discharge. The Board expressed a
willingness to concur in that move if
it is agreeable to Mayor Albee.
ALCOHOL SALE TAB URGED
Commissioner Bigelow Plans to Pre
. vent Use as Beverage.
A satisfactory means of regulating
ly an act of the' City Council the sale
of ethyl alcohol, so as to prevent its
use as a beverage, is being sought by
City Commissioner Bigelow.
Copies of ordinances in force in other
cities have been obtained and are be
. lng studied. Mr. Bigelow says there
are three ways of handling the prob
lem. One is the licensing of the drug
stores to sell the alcohol for medicinal
purposes with the power resting in the
Council to put any store out of busi
ness that sells it for beverage pur
poses. Another is the forcing of all
persons wanting alcohol to obtain a
pr-rmit from the Chief of Police. The
third is the passage of an ordinance
prohibiting the sale of the drug unless
it is medicated in such way as to be
unfit for a beverage.
Non-combustible linoleum invented in
Germany includes in its composition a
chemical which gives off a flame
quenching gas should it be ignited.

COOKING GOODS IMPORTED
Many Are Using Rights for First
Time and Are Xow Preparing lor
Emergencies When State Be
comes Absolutely Dry.
Record-breaking shipments of liquor
In the prescribed two-quart packages
from California continue to be the rule
with the express companies. It seems
that almost everyone in Portland is
intent on fortifying the household with
at least .two quarts of .the real stuff
to be drawn upon as required in the
dry days to come when liquor may not
be shipped into the state.
The "bone-dry" law did it. say those
who have watched the big gain in
liquor shipments since the passage of
that intensely arid amendment. Any
number of people who never had their
names on the list of liquor importers
up to this month have now hurried to
bring, in a shipment so as to have it on
hand in case of dire need.
Thrifty - housekeepers are laying in
brandy and other liquors for cooking
purposes, and there are persons of
known abstemious habits who are using
their rights under the present law for
the first time to lay in a small quan
tity against emergencies.
That the two-quart shipment will
look terribly small after the "bone-dry"
law goes into effect is the opinion gen
erally expressed, and the very fierce
ness of the drouth will make this quan
tity fairly shrivel up and disappear la
the heat, it is Eaid.
A visit to the downtown express of
fices at this time is an interesting ' idy
in human nature. The old and the
young, men and women and all sorts of
people are lined up before the counter
patiently awaiting deliveries. There is
a tenseness about the waiting line that
speaks volumes. No ordinary Christ
mas crowd was ever so wholly wrs ed
up in what it was about to receive as
this long line of early liquor shoppers.
The unprecedented rush of the past
two weeks at the express offices is
expected to hang on practically un
changed until the first of the year, when
the new and more rigid prohibitory
amendment goes into effect and cuts
off the two-quart imports that are now
reaching the height of their popularity.
Youthful High Financier
Lands in Jail.
Mr. Moiorovakr, Jr., Loatu Dollar
and Tri-x to Moke It Up by Trick
on Parent Junk Dealer.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 23. (Spe
cial.) Fearing hia father would
punish him for losing a dollar entrusted
to his care a few days ago. Isadore
Mozorovsky, 14 years old, conceived
the idea of stealing a quantity of junk
from his parent and having it sold
back to him. The idea landed the
young financier in jail and his case
will be taken up by the Juvenile Court.
According to the boy. a son of H.
Mozorovsky, his father gave him $3 to
buy junk with a few days ago. When
he got to the place he found he had
lost one dollar and he was afraid to
tell his father, fearing punishment.
He took a sack of old faucets to a
barn nearby and entered into an agree
ment with two itinerants to sell the
brass to his father for $1.23. They
were to keep 25 cents for their share,
and were to give the young hopeful the
dollar, but the scheme did not work,
and the two confederates were also
placed under arrest.

ragtime singing, her repertoire In
cludes songs of other comedy types
and her "rube" numbers are so popu

show." She is gracious with encores,
and in every city on the circuit her
hit has been so great that she has been
obliged to make her little speech, "1
do not know any more."
Miss Samuels has retained a few of
her old song successes for the present
Orpheum tour, but she also had added
new selections and all her songs are
used by her exclusively, big publish
ers in New York giving her first choice
of the comedy hits. She also comes
with new gowns, all fresh from the
latest styles on Broadway.
It is believed that Miss Samuels
holds the boxoffice record for Orpheum
stars appearing in Portland, Sarah
Bernhardt being the only exception.
Her first great hit after having; been
discovered by the Orpheum chieftains
in a moving picture theater several
years ago was made in Portland, and
Miss Samuels has a warm spot in her
heart for this city. In her visit here

Portland is threatened with a fuel

Should Portland be visited right now

"If we get a spell of real cold
weather the Wyonilne coal in this
town won't last 34 hours." vatd a fuel
dealer yesterday.
The softtT grades of coal, which
come mostly from Southeastern Wash
ington, are more plentiful. But the
car shortage limits the supply there
too. This grade now is selling at J6.Su
a ton. which is the maximum pri.e.
Dealers say they won't have to ad
vance that figure unless the weather
gets so bad that it will cost more to
make deliveries.
The wood situation is not much more
encouraging. Good dry wood is hard
to get. Much of the wood being sold
here now is green. fresTily cut wood
brought in from points near town
Iack of cars makes it hard to get the
old reliable weather dried stuff.
As said before, there is no immed
ate danger on the horizon, but people
who like to b prepared when the
proverbial "cold day" comes along
should get their wood and coal into the
shed while the fretting is good.
