SURPLUS OF RAILROADS
THREE COMPANIES PROPOSE TO
BUILD IN GILLIAM COUNTY.
Surveyors Camped at Various Points
Along Prospective Lines and Rep
resentatives Promise Fluently.
The center of activity in proposed rail
road construction appears to lie at the
present time in Gilliam County, -where
three competing companies are doing- a
great deal of talking and some surveying
for proposed lines from Arlington through
Olex and down through the county. Ac
cording to reports from that district,
three sets of engineers are In the field,
running lines for rights of -way, and the
representatives of the companies are
busying themselves trying to secure con
cessions and backing to carry out their
schemes.
Surveyors of the Arlington & Pacific
Company, represented by a Mr. Simmons,
are now reported to be camped at Junc
tion House, and are engaged in making a
permanent survey.
The Eastern Oregon Railroad Company,
represented bj' a air. Morris, has com
pleted a survey through to Olex, and the
engineers are now camped at that place.
Engineers of the Columbia River & Cen
tral Oregon Company are camped in the
vklnity of the French Charley place, on
Bock Creek.
A report states that at the meeting of
the Arlington City Council, held a week
ago, the Eastorn Oregon Railway Com
pany made application for a franchise
through the city. Mr. Morris was pres
ent to represent tho compejiy and urged
the claims of the road, but the matter
was tabled for the time being.
Mr. Morris promised that, if the fran
chise were granted, he would give a bond
to the amount of 55000 to the City of Ar
lington, binding his company to com
mence work on the road within 30 days,
and to complete it to Condon within one
year or forfeit the bond.
Representatives of the Arlington & Pa
cific road were also present, and urged
the rights of that company. This road
was granted a franchise some time ago,
but it was vetoed by the Mayor. This
matter was brought up, and some lively
talking was done, but no action was
taken.
The Columbia River & Central Oregon
Company was represented only by Mr.
Tlerney, the Arlington representative of
the O. It & N. Ho stated that he had
been authorized to say that the Columbia
River & Central Oregon people would
certainly build their road, that they had
made satisfactory traffic arrangements
with the O. R..& N., and that tho road
was In no way connected with the Arling
ton & Pacific enterprise.
Mr. Morris, of the Eastern Oregon Rail
way Company, Is Quoted as having assert
ed that his company proposed to build,
and that grading work would commence
within two weeks. Two grading outfits,
it is said, will be on the ground by that
time.
Mr. Simmons, of the Arlington & Pa
cific, is quoted as saying that if his road
fails to get a franchise through Arling
ton it will build through Lange's Canyon.
Judging from the activity that Is mani
fested in that district, one road, or pos
sibly more, will be built through GlUlam
County within the next two or three
years.
ing trains could not be got here earlier,
that the mall might bo delivered in time
for shippers to fill orders tho same
day.
A particularly noticeable feature of the
new time-card is the arrangement for the
Spokane trains, both from Umatilla and
Pendleton, to conaect with tho through
trains from the East at those places.
A. D. Charlton Returns.
A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Northern Pacific,
returned to Portland yesterday from Se
attle, where he went on a trip of Inspec
tion. He reports that affairs along the
line are in the best of condition, and that
the line is getting about all the business
it can handle.
"With regard to what tlmo President
Howard Elliott and his party may be
expected to arrive In Portland, Mr. Charl
ton has no definite information yet If
the party- travels straight through and
delays lnspection along tho line until
the return trip, they should reach Port
land within the next week, otherwise it
may be two weeks before the new head
of the road pays hlslnltial visit to Port
land. A stop of several days will doubt
less be made In Seattle before the party
reaches here.

It was; definitely decided yesterday by

DELEGATION.
CLEAR TRACK AT BUGBY.
Trains Can Now Run Through to As
toria Without Transfer.
By hard work and perseverance, in the
face of repeated disappointments, Super
intendent John McGuire has finally suc
ceeded in getting a clear track at Bugby
for tho trains of the Astoria & Columbia
River Railroad. Tho first through train
between Portland and Astoria for a week
was run yesterday morning, but it is be
lieved now that no further trouble will be
experienced. The road has had no little
difficulty as a result of the giant blast
that was fired at the quarry some three
weeks ago, but diligent work has over
come the obstacle that has had traffic
tied up. and the machinery of the line is
once more in the best of working order.
It will bo remembered that when the
giant blast of CO tons of powder was fired
thrown Into the Columbia River, and for
several days traffio had to be transferred
around the blockade, thus causing delay
and inconvenience. The company made
the best of tho situation and operated
trains between the blockade and the ends
of the road on the most satisfactory
schedule that could be made.
Hardly had the damage been repaired,
and the trains once more in operation on
through-time cards, when there was a
slide that covered the tracks and blocked
traffic again. Once more it became neces
sary to transfer passengers and freight
around tho obstruction.
Other slides came almost as rapidly as
tho debris of former ones was cleared
away, and for a week past no through
trains have been run until yesterday.
Traffic was kept on the movo by means
of steamer transportation around the
blockade. A second blast had to be fired
to remove the source of the repeated
slides, and the last of the debris from this
was cleared away yesterday morning.
Superintendent MqGuiro took personal
charge of the work of clearing tho tracks,
and ho kept at work on the blockade,
night and day, until -a clear road was so
cured. While the officials were severely
hampered in the matter of conducting the
business of tho road, they handled traffic
in the best manner possible under the
circumstances.
NEW TIME CARD FOR O. R. & N.
Changes Made In Arrival and De
parture of Nearly All Trains.
The new time-card for all O. R. & N.
trains between Portland and Spokane
and Portland and the East has been
finally decided upon and will go into
effect on Sunday, November 22. Tho time
of arrival and departure of most trains
has been altered and the change, It Is
believed, will be an Improvement over
the old schedule. By the new schedule
the Spokane trains will connect with the
trains from tho East at Umatilla and
Pendleton, thus making a decided im
provement. In re-arranging tho time-card tho offi
cials havo sought to have the trains
reach the principal points along the line
at times most convenient for the traffic
of these places, and at the same time
to make the best possible connnrMnna
with other trains. The officials believe
that the present schedule will meet all
requirements.
The new time-card, as it will be adopted
is as follows:
Chicago special, leaves Portland. S-50
A. M. Instead of 9:20. '
Spokane flyer, leaves Portland, 7:45 p
M. lnsead of 6.
Atlantic express, leaves Portland, 815
P. M. as heretofore.
Chicago-Portland special, arrives at
Portland. 5:30 P. M. instead of 4-SO
Portland flyer. No. 3, from Spokane,
arrives here, SA.1L instead of 7:33
Paclflo express, now No. ,11, arrives at
Portland, 9:40 A. M. instead of 10:30
The new schedule makes the following
changes In the times of arrival and de
parture at Spokane: No. 4, arrives
Spokane, 11:50 A. M., connecting with the
Pacific express from the East at Uma
tilla; No. 3, leaves Spokane, 4:30 P. M.
Instead of 4:15; No. 8, connects with Chi
cago special at Pendleton, leaves Pendle
ton at 9:10 A. M. and arrives at Spokane
sit S. P. M.
This new schedule, it will be noticed,
brings the trains from the East Into
Portland earlier In the morning. Such a
chango will, no doubt, be a pleasing one
to tho business men of this city, who
addressed a communication to the rail
road a short time ago asking If the morn-
None of the Members Wish to Aid In

The following telegram was received In
Portland Friday:
"Washington, D. C, Nov. 18, 1903-Hcn.
John H. Hall. TT. S. District Attorney, Port

purporting to state tho views and be
liefs of us, severally, as to the propriety and

the Federal District Court at Portland, and
which reflects seriously on both grand Jury and
District Attorney. "We or neither of us have

ments or any of them. In short, we know
nothing whatever about the facts, or alleged
facts, on which any one of the Indictments Is
based; therefore. It would be out of place for
us or any of us to attempt an expression of
either condemnation or commendation of the
action of the grand Jury or of tho District
Attorney, and we have not done so. "Wo h&ve

NOT PARTISANS IN THE CASE,
Delegation Desires to Dispel the Opin
ion Prevailing In Oregon.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, 'Wash
ington, Nov. 14. Senator Mitchell, who,
with other members of the Oregon delega
tion, yesterday signed a telegram to
United States District Attorney Hall, de
claring that they never, at any time, ex
pressed an opinion regarding he grand
Jury's indictment of ex-Congressman
Moody, said tonight that this message had
been sent to dispel the opinion that
seemed to prevail in Oregon that the dele
gation had become partisans in the mat
ter. So far as he is personally concerned.
Senator Mitchell says ho has never ex
pressed an opinion us to whether tho in
dictment was proper or otherwise, and
that he has never spoken in commendation
op censuro of tho grand Jury. Before he
left Oregon he heard some talk that there
was trouble with Asa R. Thomson, re
ceiver of the La Grande land office, and
with Moooy, but know nothing at all about
the facts.
Only one member of the delegation has
undertaken to express to The Oregonlan
correspondent an opinion of the Indict
ments of Mr. Moody. That Is Congress
man Hermann, who was quoted in a dis
patch that appeared in The Oregonlan of
Sunday, November 8, as deploring tho in
dictment and strongly denouncing the
methods of men who had, in his opinion
brought It about for political effect. Mr'
Hermann was very positive In his stated
meat, and was correctly quoted..

! Countiss, the leading Jady. has received a
flattering offer to accept an engagement
with the Eastern company now playing
'The Christian" In New York State, and
she still has this -offer under careful con
sideration. Up to late last night, she had
not arrived at a decision.
TVherf industrial depression was recently
experienced in Montana, on account of the
mines shutting down because of tho trou
bles of the Anaconda Mining Company and
tho Amalgamated Copper Company tho
cessation of the earning capacity of the
mlnere seriously affected trade conditions
Naturally tho theater business suffered'
First-class theatrical attractions playing
in Montana did not meet with the financial
support necessary to keep up a margin
of profit """tin
These unsatisfactory conditions have all
been carefully deliberated upon by Man
ager Baker, and it is a credit to his sound
business sense, especially as -"The Chris
tian" company was only scheduled to play
... vCiu louder anyway, not to risk
sending such an expensive production to
Montana for the present His contract
with the agents representing tho owners
of "Tho Christian" gave him rights to
play that attraction in the territory west
of the Missouri River, and how well this
territory has been covered by the company
under his management is a matter of cur
rent theatrical history. Tho play has
drawn enthusiastic crowds and has made
money wherever it has appeared. The at
traction has been praised as a great ar
tistic success one of the theatrical sur
prises of tho year. The cast is an un
usually excellent as well as an expensive
one. and there is every reason to believe
that it will be as big a success at thn -Rm
plro Theater in high-class melodrama.
It is not knpwn yet how long the com
pany will play at the Empire, but it is
understood after that engagement Is over
Manager Baker will again place it on the
roan in a nign-ciass play or plays to be
afterward selected.
