consummation of the long-pending nego
tiations between the Oregon Short Line
and Senator W. A. Clark and hla associ
ates, owners of the San Pedro, Los An
geles & Salt Lake Railroad, gives Into the
hands of the latter Ml miles of road south

ning from Salt Lake to Callentes, Nev.,
and. 1(4 miles of branches and spurs. In
this is Included the newly completed
Leamington cut-off, 116 miles In length,
which will operate as part of the main
line of the San Pedro from Salt Lake to

of difficult mountain railroading.
"The Oregon Short Line will have abso
Jutely no partnership or Interest In the
management of the San Pedro road, said
Senator Thomas Kearns. one of the larg
est stockholders, tonight. "The Short
Line- will be paid for Its road In the bonds
Of the San Pedro when Issued, and this
will be the only Interest It will have in
the road. The San Pedro already has 120
miles of road In operation In California,
and construction of the gap between the
California terminus and Callentes will be
pushed with all possible speed. All ac
counts of the two roads will be kept sep
arate from this time on. The actual
transfer of the Short Line, south of Salt
Lake will take place as soon as Senator
Clark reaches here, which will be within
two or three weeks."
The San Pedro road will open up enor
mous fields of Iron and coal, both bitu
minous and anthracite. In Southern Utah
and Nevada. It Is announced that the
new road will have no close traffic agree

CLARK TELLS THE STORY.
Tells All About lils" New Road to the
Coast.
NEW YORK, April 18. United States
Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana, to
night gave to- the Associated Press the
following detailed statement regarding, the
differences between the Union Pacific In
terests and the San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt "Lake Railway Company and the plans
of the latter company:
"A year ago the two companies had rival
construction gangs at Meadow Valley.
Waslu each eager to forestall the other
and ready to resort to physical violence
to accomplish the end desired. Now Sen
ator Clark and his adherents have leased
the Oregon Short Line south of Salt Lake
City, and will construct about 400 miles of
road from Callentes, Nev,. westerly
through Cajon Pass to San Bernardino,
where connection will be made with about
"SS miles of track already In operation be
tween San Pedro, Los Angeles and River
ride. "There has been a great deal printed
about the plans of the new road, but no
complete statement," said Senator Clark,
"has been made. Aa president of the road.
I believe I ought to make everything clear.
There Is now perfect harmony between
the Union Pacific Company and the new
Interests.
"The San Pedro. Los "Angeles & Salt
Lake road is authorized to issue 330,000,000
bonds, and haa 13,000,000 capital stock. It
leased for 99 years the Oregon Short Line
system south from Salt Lake City to Call
entes, a railway system of S3 miles. Be
sides the main line, there are two shorter
lines taken over. Most Important is the
Leamington cut-off. extending from Salt
'Lake to Leamington. Utah, where It Joins
the Oregon Short Line. It cuts oft a great
deal of track, and is 117 miles long, be
sides having lower grades.
"From Callentes west I hare already had
'40 miles of grading done. The road will
pass through Meadow "Valley Wash, the
only available pass. The wash Is the dry
channel of a mountain stream. At Cajon
'Pais we will find a grade of 10S feet to
the mile, and the next highest grade Is
only 79 feet. The cost will average 130,000
a mile.
"The Oregon Short Line system under
our control will be rebuilt with heavier
rails and the best of equipment. The road
from San Pedro to Los Angeles and Riv
erside now haa the best Pullman and other
rolling-stock, and the whole system will
be equipped accordingly. Last year J5.000
carloads of fruit were raised In the Los
Angeles section, and there are orchards
which In less than five years will produce
60,000 carloads. This new line will take
'fruit trains from that section Immediately
Into a cooler altitude, a great desideratum
In such perishable shipping. The distance
from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles Is 00
miles by this new route, and we Intend to
cover it In it hours. Now traffic from
Salt Lake City and north thereof reaches
Lea Angeles via San Francisco In not less
than 1300 miles.
"At San Pedro there li building a 8,000.
080 breakwater, and Wilmington Bar Is
being dredged Into a fine harbor. This
side of Riverside there Is building an
809-foot concrete bridge, the- longest and
with, the highest cpan. of any similar
structure. Our terminal facilities at Salt
Lake Cltj will be equal to the Oregon
Short Line's.- and we will connect with the
Union Pacific and Gould systems. The min
eral wealth that our road will tap equals
that of the Mesaba Range.
"No bonds have been Issued on the Los
Angeles road so far completed, and JU.
090,090 of the J60.093.000 bonded debt will be
reserved for branch lines or kept In the
company's treasury.
"With me are Interested, among others,
Senatot-Keama and 'W. 3. McCormlck, of
Salt Lake CHr: R. C Kerens and the
Bemls Bros., of St Louis, and my brother,
J. Ross Clark, of Los Angeles."

and Seal Letters.
PATENTS HAVE BEEN SECURED
A Radical Departure From Former
Machine What Inventors Have
Long Worked for
In Vain.
The Universal Letter-Seating & Stamp
Company. CIS Chamber of Commerce, has j
patented a machine for sealing letters ,
and. putting on the postage stamps. The
machine Is said to perform Its work neatly
-and rapidly - It Is operated by one person
by hand, or by use of foot pedals, or by
electric and"eteom power, when desired.
The above cut represents the machine,
which is smaller than a, common type
writer. Its weight Is about 10 pounds.
It Is adapted for use on an office desk or
table. The f rams' part Is wood, and Its
machinery and metal parts are nickel
plated, giving- It a very neat appearance
as an office machine. It has the reputa
tion of being the first machine in the
world of the kind, performing the office
of sealing and stamping letters or pack
ages by this mechanism and process of
moistening the envelope to receive the
stamp and the sealing flap of .the letter
at the same time. Instead of moistening
the stamp Itself. This leaves the stamp
at all times entirely free from moisture.
The following Is copied from specifica
tions In the application for patent:
This Invention provides a machine for
greatly facilitating and lessening the la
bor attendant upon sealing envelopes and
affixing postage stamps thereto, the ma
chine comprising independent molsteners.

fltp and the other to wet the place de
signed to receive the postage stamp, both
operations being performed simultane
ously, means for feeding the postage
stoops, a cutter for severing the stamps
fronv the- strip, and a presser for com
pleting the operation by applying the
fore necessary to cause the stamp and
the sealing flap to adhere."
Protection granted in the patent Issued
Is la part as -follows:
"In a machine of the character de
scribed, and In combination with means
for moistening the sealing flap of an en
velope or package and wetting the place
for reception of the stamp, mechanism

TO SEE THE LAND.
(Continued from First PacO
party will spend Its first Sunday and the
day following In Washington. Aside from
an. Inspection of the Department of Agri
culture and an Informal reception by the
official of that office, the time In Wash
ington will be devoted almost entirely to
sightseeing, and to looking over the park
system of the city and suburbs. From
Washington the party goes Into the blue
grass country, stopping on the way at
Martinsburg and Cincinnati.
One of the main objective points of the
trip is Lexington. Ky.. the home of the
thoroughbred. Arrangements have been
completed for giving the German visitors
every opportunity to view the prominent
stables and etockfarms that they may see
for themselves where the' famous trotters
and other blooded stock are raised, and
may have opportunity to examine some
of the stock. The owners of the leading
farms have .extended Invitations to the
party, and as many as possible will be
visited In the two dtys to be spent at
Lexington.
With Homelike Surroundings,
On tie 9th of May the visitors will arrive
In St. Louis, where, for two days, they will
be the guests of Busch, the brewer, thelr
renowned countryman, who contributed
so much to making St. Louis famous.
During their stay the Germans will visit
the World's Fair grounds and other points
of Interest.
May U will be devoted to the stockyards
of Kansas City, where the Kaiser's men
will, for the first time, git an Insight
into the manner in which the enormous
cattle Industry of the United States Is
conducted, and will see for themselves how
the animals are shipped, slaughtered and
made ready for the market. They will
also avail themselves of the Invitations to
Inspect the large packing houses of the
"beef trust," which- will be thrown open
for their benefit, that they may see the
manner of preparing the meats which to
day enter so largely Into our trade with
Germany.
To Stndr Irrigation.
Several stops will be made. Including Des
Moines. Odebolt, Kearney and Ames, be
fore the party enters the arid regions of
Colorado and Utah. There one solid week
will be devoted to the study of American
methods of Irrigation and the reclama
tion of arid wastes, particularly as it re
lates to the raising of sugar beets, a staple
crop of Germany. Visits will be made to
some of the largest Irrigated farms, in
cluding these at Eaton and Greeley, where
sugar factories have been established in
late years; and one day will be given up
to a trip to Pike's Peak. At Salt Lake
City the entire party will be entertained
by the president of the Utah Sugar Com
pany.
In order that the visitors may have
every opportunity to. view the wonderful
fruitgrowing regions of California, an
entire week will be spent in the southern
portion of the state, stops being made at
Berkeley, Santa Rosa, Stockton. Fresno,
Los Angetes. Salinas, Pajaro, Watson
vllle and San Jose. On June 1 the special
cars will return northward from the Gold
en Gate, running tip to Portland.
In Oregon.
The visit to Oregon Is looked forward to
with more than usual Interest,, As the
train bearing the special cars moves down
the Willamette Valley occasional stops
will be made to enable the visitors to.
gather information regarding the young;
growing bop Industry that has" been estab-j
llshed on a arm BIN.. -AT Mediora me.
visitors will leave their train, and at Cor-
vallls they will Inspect the Agricultural
Experiment Station, while at Salem a
third stop will be made. Some consider
able Interest has been shown In the Ore
gon dairies, and several of the leading
establishments of the Valley will be in
spected, as the party has opportunity.
The party expects to reach Portland on
the night of June 1. remaining through
out the following day, and ori Wednesday
morning will start eastward, making the
first break at Hood River. Luckily they
will pass through and stop off In the Hood
River Volley' at the one season of the year
when they will have on opportunity to see
and to taste a product of the soli that
cannot be equaled anywhere else In the
world. The party had been Invited to ex
tend the trip to Puget Sound, but as
there Is nothing In the agricultural line
there that cannot be found In Oregon, and
as there was a desire that the visitors
should see the Palouse Valley, with its
famous wheat fields, the northwest corner
was cut off. and the trip laid from Port
land to Spokane, via Pendleton.
In the Cattle Country.
On their way through Montana stops will
be made at two of the greatest ranches of
the West, at Deer Lodge and Billings.
The next stop Is Fargo, N. D.. In the
heart of the moat fertile and productive
wheat fields in the world, those of the Red
River Valley. June 11 and 11 will be spent
in Minneapolis, where, by courtesy of the
larre milling firms, the visitors will be
allowed to view the American methods of
manufacturing flour, the flour that enters
so extensively Into the world's commerce.
On the way to Milwaukee, where an
other royal entertainment has ..been ar
ranged by the man who "made 'Milwaukee
famous," the distinguished visitors will
.make brief stops at some of the famous
dairy farms of Southern. Wisconsin. After
two days spent in the shadow of the brew-
ery, hurried Inspections will be made of
the orchards of Michigan, and the borse-
breedlng establishment at Wayne.
Chicago Stock Yards.
At Chicago the stock yards and packing
houses will be studied for the better part
of two days, and some little attention
will be given to the large factories which
turn out the great quantities of modem
farming Implements. No other stops will
be made on the way to Boston, save at
Detroit and Niagara Falls, although it
had been originally planned to visit Cor
nell University at Ithaca. The prevalence
of typhoid fever at that place, however,
made It necessary to omit this side trip.
Several points of interest in and around
the Hub will be visited, notably Thomas
W. Lawson's famous horse farm at
Dreamwold. His stable Is famous In Ger
many as well as In the United States, and
the visitors are anxious to see what is
acknowledged to be the foremast estab
lishment of this kind In the country. The
park system of Boston will also be studied,
hurriedly. On the Hth the party returns
to New York, to take a steamer for
home, after completing a tour by rail
covering nearly 10,000 miles.

among them works on the Pacific Coast.
Within a short time, when the board's
action Is approved by the Secretary of
War. It will be found that several projects
of unsavory reputation will be turned
down. While the task Is enormous, this
board will In the end be able practically
to render useless further appropriations
for the Improvement of the streams' that
have little dr no commerce, and for Im
proving rivers where the cost Is out of
proportion to the benefits thereof. It will
serve to put an end to the Incorporation
of Jobs and steals In future river and
harbor bills.
On the Pacific Coast appropriations
have .been made for several email streams
which the board finds have absolutely no
commerce. Some ot the projects under
advisement proposed to make six and
eight-foot streams out of one and two
foot creeks. All these works will be ad
versely reported on by the board, and
there Is little doubt that Its action will
have the' approval of Secretary Root.
Meritorious river and harbor works will
profit by the elimination of worthless
schemes, for money that Is now appro
priated for streams that are not navigable
will be diverted to commercially valu
able rivers and harbors, and Congressmen,
realizing that It is nselen to secure ap
propriations solely to have the money ex
pended In their districts, will turn their
efforts to better purposes.
The tendency ot this board will be to
operate against further appropriations be
ing made, except for maintenance, for the
Biuslaw, Upper Coqullle and Long Tom

while the Clearwater, Idaho and Pend

put the system in the very best possi
ble condition right away.
After years of experience in an ac
tive practice, Dr. Pierce discovered a
remedy that suited these conditions
in a blood-maker and tissue-builder,
which at the same time alleviates the
cough. He called it Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery an altera
tive extract that assists in the diges
tion and assimilation of the fooa in
the stomach co that the blood gets
what it needs for food and oxidation,
the liver is at the same time started
into activity and there is perfect
elimination of waste matter. When
the blood is pure and rich, all the
organs work without effort, and the
body is like a perfect machine; if,
however, any part is allowed to rust,
and this-human machine does not
get its full supply of rich red blood
(which acts like oil on machinery),
then new fields ore created in which
the bacteria or germs of disease thrive
and multiply. The germs of grip,
malaria, catarrh or consumption find
a fertile field if the body is not kept in
serf ect order and the blood pure. No
ser, as Register of the Oregon City Land
Office, was received today, but too late
for approval. Mr. Dresser will take of
fice either Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week. If his bond is found correct.
