THE SUNDAY OTtEGOTSIAN, PORTLAND, MAY 4, 1902. NEW TRAIN SCHEDULE WILIi GO TSTO EFFECT 0? NORTH ERN PACIFIC TODAY. Three Solid Train Throng to tie East. One to Pnsret Sonnd Only Burlington Gets One. --T Ba Following ia the new train schedule of the Northern Pacific Railroad In Portland, -which will so Into effect to- Depart. Aity. Portland-St. L. Special.... 8:25 111.00 Tacoma and Seattle Bx... 0.25 t 6:45 Xorth Coast Limited t 2:00 7:00 Twin Cities Express tll:30 t 3:20 A.M. jfP. M. Tor the flrst time In the history of the Northern Pacific it will today begin run ning four regular passenger trains a day on the Pacific division, and three through trains a, day between Portland and the East. For the past three years it has been the custom of the company to dis continue the North Coast Limited during the "Winter season, resuming it in the Spring. The resumption has not meant the addition of another train to the sched ule, but a readjustment of train sen-ice that transformed several short runs into a through one. One of the trains that have been running the past "Winter has been partially Burlington. This Spring the restoration of the North coast lim ited with brand new equipment provides an entirely new through train, additional to the train service that has been In ef fect This permits the running of a com plete through train over the Burlington and perfects the service in many other rejects. The flrst train to leave Portland today will be the Portland. Kansas City and St Louis Special, which will pass through to 3L Louis, taking the Burlington track from Billings, Mont This train will af ford through car service to St Joseph, Kansas City and St. Louis, connecting at the Union pepot In the last-named city for points East and Southeast. An hour later, 9:25 A. M., the Tacoma and Se attle Express will leave, running by way of Olympia. and connecting with trains for South Bend and Gray's Harbor. The South Bend connection cannot be made on Sunday. The well-known North Coast Limited will be the third train to leave, but it will have a lot of cars fresh from the factor' and superior to anything heretofore run on the line. The train will be lighted by electricity, and the claim is put forth for it that it is "the crack train of the Northwest," The Overland Express will be changed to the Twin Cities Express, and there will be no change in the leaving time, 11:30 P. M. All the trains will run daily. SURVIVAL OF FITTEST RAILROADS. J. J. Hill Says There Is No Com munity of Intercut. CHICAGO, May 3. "I believe In the sur vival of the Attest in the railroad world, the same as I do in all nature and affairs of men. It Is the natural law, and its operation is as inevitable as the origin of man." This Is one of the things that James J. Hill said In response to a question regard ing his opinion of the Government's at tempt to control railroad rates through the medium of injunctions Issued by tho United States Circuit Court. The con nection between the reply and the subject was soon made plain by the celebrated railway magnate and financier. He ex plained that the Injunction method of attempting to cure the evils that afflict the tiafnc and transportation world wa9 simply a subterfuge and a futile attempt to arrest the progress of the natural law of the survival of the fittest. 'Has not the community of interests effectually arrested the operation of that law?" was asked. "There Is no such thing as the commu nity of interests. That is the merest rot and twaddle, originated and employed by the press of the country. The only com munity of Interest that can or ever will exist is the community of Interest between the shipper and the railroads. No, that community of Interest is not receiving its fullest exemplification, but it will so soon as the law of the survival of the fit test shall have had its sway in the railroad world." Asked what he thought of legalized pool ing as a panacea for rate ills, Mr. Hill exclaimed: "Pooling is Infamous, Infamous in any form. It never brings about the end sought, and it is simply one of the sub terfuges of which I speak to hinder the operation of the inevitable law of nature and the universe." t Mr. Hill passed through Chicago en route from New York to St. PauL Ing of tho Knights of Pythias, In San Francisco, August 11-12, was announced in a circular Issued by General Passenger Agent Craig, of the O. R. & N., yester day. From all O. R. & N. stations in Oregon, "Washington and Idaho the basing rate to Portland and return will be one fare, in connection with rateB from Port land to San Francisco. From Portland "by steamship both ways, cabin passage, in cluding meals and berth, $20 for the round trip; by rail, In both directions, first class, $25 for the round trip. On railway tickets stopovers will be allowed in California. Tickets will not be sold from Portland good one way by steamship and the other by ralL Steamer sales will begin July 31 and train sales August 4. Final limit will be September 30. . Lumber Shipments Via Billing!. ST. PAUL. May 3. The Great Northern has nearly completed the arrangements necessary for the shipping of lumber and shingles over that line from Pacific Coast points to territory reached by way of Billings. Mont, It has been practically decided that the tariffs governing such shipments shall become effective Monday, but agents have been notified to make no quotations until word Is received from the general officers. The effect of the new arrangement will be to make all points competitive and place mlllmen on the Great Northern lines In a position to ship to. a region hitherto denied them. Lumbermen 1111, after Monday, providing the tariff Is placed in effect on that date, be In as good a com mercial location as coast deliverers. Ship ments villi be made via the Great North ern to Spokane, thence by the Northern Pacific, thence by Billings and over the Burlington to destination. "Wants Receiver for Colorado Rond. DENVER, May 3. The Mercantile Trust Company has filed application in the Fed eral Court for foreclosure of the mortgage on the Colorado & Northwestern railway and appointment of a receiver. The court will act upon the application next week at the opening of the Spring term. The complaint shows that the trust com pany advanced 5500.000 for the railway. - .. Vina Vioon nnlri nnrl the claim is for $612,500. The mortgage was Issued in September, 1E97. ana tne compiu states that there has been a default of in terest from March, 189S, to the present time. The road extends from Boulder, 23 miles to Ward, and during six months of the year has been regarded as paying .slightly above operating expenses. Sne for Bis1 Damages. NEW YORK, May 3. Suit has been brought for $250,000 against the New York Central & Hudson River Railway Com pany by the executors of the estate of William Leys, of New Rochellc, who was killed In the Park-avenue tunnel wreck. The executors say they expect to collect the money, "because Mr. Leys' salary was $30,000 a year. This he earned, according to the lawyer, as superintendent of a large dry goods house of this city, and since he was still In his forties, they think he might have continued to earn this salary for 10 years or more. Union Pacific "Will Meet Rate. CHICAGO. May 3.

Hereafter Short Credits Is to Be the Hale. Retail grocers have resolved to enforce short credits. They held a meeting last week and decided to proclaim It to all men that no bills vrlU be permitted to run longer than SO days, plus three days of grace. When credit la given to people who earn weekly salaries they shall pay their bills weekly. The verbatim resolu tion of the retail crocers Is as follows: "Whereas, The Produce Merchants' Pro tective Association has recently limited tho time of credit allowed retail grocers to weekly settlements; and, "Whereas, The wholesale grocers, fol lowing along similar lines, have contracted the time of credit heretofore given; there fore be it "KesilYed, That on and after May 1, 1MI the retail grocers of Portland will not ex tend credit for a period exceeding 30 days, and when credit is so extended bills must be paid within three days of the expira tion of the credit limit; be It further "Resolved, That when credit 13 extend ed to those receiving weekly compensa tion, weekly payments will be collected." At the same meeting the retail grocers decided to work for a state law enforcing weekly credits and weekly payments. To this end the co-operation of the Federated Trades will be sought. "Grocery bills are the last paid of any," lamented a retailer yesterday. "Many people think it smart and righteous to stand oft their 'grocer. But we are no longer going to bo stood off. even at Christmas time, when presents must be paid for first, or at moving time, -when the expressman must get his money be fore anybody else. Doctors and under takers. ar preferred creditors compared with grocers. There is nd justice in this, because if it were not for the good grocer, the doctor and the undertaker would have got some people long before." The retailers are planning "rb forget all their troubles at a picnic which they will hold about the last of July. CYLINDER HEAD BLEW OUT Accident oh Steamer Metlalco Injure Charles R. Hall. A cylinder head blew out on the steamer J Mctlako yesterday morning, and struck Charles R. Hall on the leg. As. the re sult he Is now confined In the North Co lumbia Sanitorlum with both bones of his leg broken and the flesh frightfully bruised and scalded. Two ugly cuts one above the knee and one laying open the ankle joint, will disfigure his lesr for life. and probably leave him with a stiff ankle. Hall is a mining man, and lives in Denver, Colo. He left there about a year ago, and during the past year has been in various mining districts of Montana. He boarded the steamer Metlako yester day morning at 7 A. M., intending to go to Cascade Locks. When they were j about five miles beyond Vancouver the j accident happened, and he was brought back to Portland, reaching the Sanitorlum about noon. Hfs leg Is In a distressing condition. Both bones are badly splin tered, and the flesh was cooked by the steam. The cut above his knee lays the bone bare for several Inches. The lower cut, which opened the synovial cavity of the ankle joint, Is the most serious, as It is sure to leave a stiff ankle. The doc tors hope to save his leg, but fear It will be badly crippled. His suffering has been Intense, but last night he was rest ing fairly welL CANCERS Cancers, tumors, congested glands of the breast, permanently cured; any lump In the breast, Hd or any of six months standirsr is cancer.
