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.

the Northern Pacific and the Soo lines

round-trip rate to North Pacific Coast
points of $45; and of $40 to Spokane and

rate will be met from Missouri River

May Accent Commissions.
CHICAGO, May 3. Ticket agents of
roads in the Transcontinental Passenger
Association have heen notified to accept

Steamship Company, who own and op
erate the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany. A circular of this company offered
5 per cent commission on Aiasua. wunw

GROCER MUST BE PAID.
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
