18 HE SUNDAY XXREGONIAtf, PORTLAND APBITJ 16, 1905. IN L NE Great Southern Will Build to Bend. MEETS CALIFORNIA ROAD Portland May Lose Tributary Territory. RESTS WITH THE' 0. R. '& N. Urtfess Some Action Is Taken by Railroad Having Portland's In terest at Heart, Traffic May Go to San Francisco. The Great Southern Railway will build its line from The Dalles through Dufur and into Bend, bo It is reported from Seattle, where John Helmrlch. the presi dent of the company, has deposited a $5, 000,000 trust deed with the Washington Trust Company, and has announced his Intention of beginning Immediate con struction. From Bend, so the story runs, the line will wind southward through the Klamath country to join the northward crawling line of the Nevada, California & Oregon road, and so on to ban Francisco. The announcement startles no one, tor It is conceded in the railroad wprld that the time has come when steps must be taken to release Central Oregon from its primeval transportation system and to open the hundreds of thousands of acres of grain and tlmbcrland to the markets of the world. The O. R. & N. may not now be ready to build, hut no one will deny that ultimately it -will be forced to do so or lose the territory to some other competitor, whether the Canadian Pacific, the Northern Pacific or the line of the Nevada, California & Oregon. None of the other companies may deelh It wise at this time to announce plans for the fu ture, but It Is certain that grave and per sistent attention is being given to the questions of how to get Into the central part of the state at the least expense, with the shortest and easiest haul and into the richest sections. Question of Finance. There is one great question, admitted by railroad men, which Is holding back the making of definite plans or the com mencement of operations. That question is the finance of the thing; not whether a road into Central Oregon would pay, for it is known that such a venture would be in time very profitable. The stumbling block is whethere or not the capital ne cessary would be forthcoming on an in vestment requiring rive or six years to be come profit-yielding. Many are the schemes for the bringing to life of the vast reaches of the Interior state, and all of them feasible. These are divided Into three general heads, the east and west line, those roads to lie built northward to the main line of the O. R. & N. along the Columbia, and the theft of Portland's pastures by a line from the South. "Which one will be the first to come is a matter hard to predict, though at this time appearances tend' toward either the northern or the southern routes or both. The Cascade Mountains hold Portland back from the -benefit of what might be made of Central Oregon. Too much rugged land and mountain range lies be tween the city and the plains. If It were not for the long pull and the difficult con struction of a route through from Detroit at the end of the Corvallls and Eastern into the Bend and Prlneville country, there is strong reason to believe that it would be months Instead of years before he toot of the locomotive would rouse the lonely cowpunchcr from his dream of unending solitude. Trackage and Expense. To build a line of road from Detroit through the mountains to Bend, from there across Crook, or the north end of Lake County to the rich lands of Harney County and the vast irrigation possibili ties of Malheur and Harney Lakes and from there along' the banks of the Mal heur River to Ontario and a Junction with the main line of the O. R. & N. This work would require 500 miles of track and on approximate expenditure of 512,000,000, -which would Include the entire equipment Of the line ready for the rolling stock. Such a line would open the entire state from East to "West, would give a shorter line from Portland to the East than the route along the Columbia, and would in time build up a country as rich in varied products as any section of the Pacific Northwest It Is not a question of how much it would pay. but how long before it would earn more than the 55 Per cent of the cosf. necessary for operating ex penses and be able to pay interest on the investment. The Great Southern Railway and the Columbia Southern represent the north ern Junction theory, and both plans are pronounced feasible and able of accom plishment perhaps at lower figures than those which have been quoted in reports Of the past. By some engineers it is con tended that $20,000 a mile would pay for construction through the worst part of the country to be traversed, and that from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000 would build lines to tap the best of the land now rest ing in idleness. The smaller sum is now said to be pledged for the construction of the Great Southern, with more money in the background to push the terminal fur ther south when occasion arises. Five millions of dollars will bring the California, Nevada & Oregon from where it now rests, a short distance south of Lakevlew. through that place, into Har ney Counts', and on to Ontario, past Mal heur Lake. From the northeast it is said that both the Northern Pacific and the Canadian pacific are looking with covetous eyes'into the treasure lands of the future; the first from Pendleton, the second from Spokane, through the Palouse and Walla Walla "Valleys and across the mountains. No Idle Dream. None of these are Idle dreams, but all are live plans which are now puzzling the brains of those who rule the railroad destiny of the Pacific Northwest. Central Oregon will soon have railroad transpor tation, but whether or not It will lead the wealth of the section away from Portland or the reverse is unknown. If the line Is built across the Cascades from the end of the Corvallls & Eastern through the state it will mean a heavy grade on either side of the mountains. If the Columbia Southern or the Great Southern build south, the empty cars -will have to be hauled up hill from Portland, to run back by gravity loaded with the grain, timber and stock of the Interior. Which, then, -will be done? If the California. Nevada & Oregon line reaches up from the south Into Lake and Harney and Malheur Counties, the south bound trains, loaded with produce, will run of their own weight into San Fran cisco, except it be for a short distance around the southern base of the Siski yous near the Black Buttea. If the threatened invasion of the Northern linea becomes a. fact, then the traffic will all lead to Spokane. That la the situation, and the riddle Is whether the O. R. & N defender of Port land's interests,, will build a costly road across the Cascades, or will struggle along the Des Chutes or from Heppner into the interior to claim the territory first, as tributary to Portland, or will the lines from the North or the South, less costly of construction, break in and steal from the city that which of right belongs here. There is no doubt but that one of the conditions will prevail, for the situa tion is conceded by the railroad men and borne out by evidence indisputable that a short time will see the commencement of active construction into the territory. PIONEER WOMAN PASSES AWAY Mrs. Anna B. Sutton Dies After Lin gering Illness. Mrs. Anna B. Sutton, aged 75 years, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George J. Ainsworth, 859 Hawthorne avenue. In this city, yesterday. Mrs. Sutton's maiden name was Dolan. She was born In Bos ton. Mass., June 29, 1S29. Her mother was of Puritan stock and her father was Eng lish.

That some of the finest art treasures of the -world's art galiorles -will be brought to the Lewis and Clark Exposition Is assured by Frank V. Du Mond. In a report received yesterday by President H. W. Gbodc. Mr. Du Mond, who is the supervisor of the fine arts department at the Expo sition, is now stationed in Xcw York, where all paintings for the Fair are being consigned preparatory to shipment. Owing to- the immense value of the pictures, they cannot be shipped by ordinary methods, and President Goode stated yesterday that special express cars will be chartered for their transportation. Just what canvases have been secured is not yet known at headquarters, although a detailed report from Mr. Du Mond is expected at an early date. It is known that he is meeting with great success In getting paintings both from private and public galleries and collections. Meanwhile, work is progressing rapidly on the imposing Art Gallery, or Museum of Arts building at the Exposition. It will be set apart into seven compartments In order that the paintings, drawings and etchings may be placed according to the various schools of art and mediums repre sented. It will be fireproof in every detail, and the lighting will be entirely by electric lights, placed so as to produce the very best effect. There will be no windows in the buildings, but three entrances will be provided. Cook avenue. Friday afternoon, Instead of returning home from Williams-Avenue School, she went with Mr. Coats, a sew ing machine agent, out to Woodstock in his buggy. Mr. Coats expected to be back at once, but remained for supper with a friend, and it was after 10 o'clock before he got Tack and .the girl returned home.

FORCE MAY BE NECESSARY Fishermen Have Spent a Large Sum In Clearing What They Claim Is Tide-Land, and Do Not Pro pose to Lose Investment. The fact that Governor Mead, of Wash ington, has wired the Secretary of War his pretestation against the leasing of the Sand Island seining grounds has not in any way disturbed the Government offi cials here. Among them it is the belief that the fishermen are not going to be nearly so badly hurt as they protest, and it is 6lmply a case of their trying to keep the good thing up without coat. In their MAP ILLUSTRATING THE RAILROAD SITUATION IX CENTRAL OREGON. own words, they have occupied these grounds for 20 years without any cost, aside from their equipment, and, aB has been said, unless they had made money it is unlikely that they would have continued In the business. j Major Langfitt, who returned from the Snake River yesterday, was interviewed on this subject last night, and said: "I know nothing about any protest from the Governor of Washington In regard to the leasing of the Sand Island seining grounds, other than what I have read in the papers. There Is only this to be eald about the matter, however, and that is that the rights which have been given free for several years are worth some thing. If not, it seems strange that the same people who are protesting so vigor ously should have bid In the aggregate $5000 for the rental of the five locations for one year. Of course, no one person bid that amount, but the highest bids for the five locations reached that sum. I cannot se.e where the operators can lose anything by paying a rental, since they have had the use of the grounds for nothing for years, and the fact that a large number of bids were entered for these grounds shows that they are a valuable property, even if they have to pay a rent to the Govern ment. Of course. I have no individual ex pression in regard to the matter. This of fice was ordered to advertise for bids for the leasing of the grounds, which we did, and my surmise of the conditions Is made from the results of that advertisement." "Now that your project for the Celllo Canal has been approved, when will you begin work?" was asked. "I did not know that it had beon ap proved," replied Major Langfitt. Upon be ing assured that the press dispatches had conveyed that information, he said: "I really have not had time to read the papers for the past few days, but If the matter Is as you say, that means that we shall begin actual work as soon as the water conditions permit. By that 1 mean that we cannot k much until after the high wator, but by July work on the canal should be -started and the first of Septem ber should see everything rushing. "No, there Is nothing of interest to be said of our trip. "We were on the Snake River, but simply on an Inspection tour, and we found everything in good order." ' Guglielmo Spends Days Crying. "Gugllelmo is gradually regaining his composure," remarked C. W. James, Superintendent of the State Penitentiary, yesterday afternoon. "When he was first taken there and the death watch placed over him he was a nervous wreck and would spend the greater part of his time in bed weeping. "But the crying spell lias worn off, and he is up and around all day, although at times he does become very despondent. It may be that he is trying to appear as though he has resigned himself to his fate, in hopes the guards will to a cer tain extent, relax their vigilance, thus giving him an opportunity to commit sui cide' SuesWlfe for Halflnterest. Hugh P. Ridings has. sued his wife, Florence Ridings, to recover $100 and to-compel her to acknowledge' his one- Jitl.ll. 11C1 DUlji (U il luufaiu.uuuoo at. 164 Park, street, which; he says, she purchased -with money -which he gave her. Ridings alleges that he speculated in property In "Woodburn borrowing money from his. father to 'do so, and from the bank. ' Recently he made a clean-up of $400, which he turned over to Mrs. Ridings, and they came .to Portland. She purchased the lodging house in her own name, paying $300 down, leaving iher with a balance of $100. Tnen she told him to pack his trunk and go. The papers in the case -were filed in the State Circuit Court yesterday by E K Sargent, attorney. NO DOUBT OF ITS IDENTITY French Professors Confident Body Is , That of Paul Jones. PARIS, April 15. Dr. Papillaut, the an thropologist, in, an Interview, today ex plains the methods pursued yesterday to Identify the body of Paul Jones found in the old St. Louis Cemetery after "a long search made by Ambassador Porter. He says an examination was made of the teeth, hair, nose and ears, and they all correspond with remarkable precision to the known measurements and character istics of the Admiral's organs. The for mation of the frontal bone, the slope of tlie" nasal bone, the dartlleges and ears likewise correspond precisely with the measurements of Moudln's bust made from the life-masks. The measurement of the height and diameter of the skull correspond within a thousandth part of a c - J meter, thus establishing a remarkably ex act correspondence with the features. The doctor says his report makes the usual reservation covering possible doubts, although he believes he has suc ceeded in assembling so many proofs as to make the Identification incontestable. Mf. Porter Is receiving- congratulations on the success of his long search for the body, which has been transferred to a new casket bearing an Inscribed plate and having a glass over the face permit ting its Inspection. The extensive work of excavation at the cemetery has been suspended and work men are now filling the lengthy tunnels. PORTER SENDS NEWS OF FIND French or American Warship Will Bring. Body Home. WASHINGTON, April 15. Th- State partment today made public the cable gram received last night from Ambassa dor Porter, at Paris, in which he an nounced that the body of John Paul Jones has been found. The cablegram described the finding of the casket and the identifi cation of the body by Drs. Papillaut and Capltau, professors of the School o' An thropology. The cablegram fully bears out the Paris dispatches of the Associated Press published this morning. Upon the receipt of Mr. Porter's dis patch. Acting Secretary Loomls promptly cabled an acknowledgment and took oc casion to congratulate Mr. Porter on the success of what appeared to be a dubious undertaking. It Is learned here that the Ambassador has already expended $1500 of his money in this long quest. It is fully expected that Congress will reim burse him. Mr. Loomls stated that there was no doubt that the- remains will be conveyed to America on a warship, but as yet It could not be told whether this would be a French or American man-of-war.

END THE WRANGLE France and Germany Nego tiate on Morocco, TAFT GLORIFIED BY FRENCH His Refusal to Help Kaiser In But ting In Wins Him High Praise All Powers Except Aus tria Snubbed Kaiser. PARIS, April 15. Although the details are carefully guarded, there Is the best of reason to believe that conversations have actually begun between the repre sentatives of France and Germany with a view to removing the mlsundertandings relative to Morocco. It is certain that diplomatic means have been found to bring about a mutual exchange of views. This appears to be the direct result of the more moderate attitude Germany has shown after communicating with Wash ington, London, Rome, Madrid, St. Peters burg and Vienna. Information reaching high quarters here is quite definite that all the capitals ex cept Vienna took substantially the same grounds as did Washington in assuming a neutral or negative attitude toward Ger many's propositions relative to Morocco. Concerning Vienna the Information is less exact, but It is .believed to be In accord ance with the action of the other capi tals. France Glorifies Taft. Acting Secretary of State Taft's course In avoiding giving American support to "Germany's position evokes the warmest tributes from the French press. The Matin prints a large portrait of Mr. Taft, with a leading article setting forth the present strong bonds uniting France and the United States and quotes a friend of Mr. Taft as saying: "American Interests In Morocco do not warrant our mixing in this political con troversy. Emperor William should haVe known this. While our affection for hfm and Germany Is most sincere, It does not warrant our forgetting the consideration we owe to France and England." The Matin says the community of Ideas between the United States and France is most-complete, and the paper congratu lates the government upon the cordiality existing In London and the strong sup port given there to the French posi tion. What Britain Owes France. This leads diplomats tp say that Great Britain owes France much more than moral support In Morocco. The Anglo French understanding resulted in France relinquishing to Great Britain the French shore of Newfoundland and Important French rights in Egypt, and Great Brit ain's consideration for this was the recog nition of France's paramount influence in Morocco. ' OPENING OF NEGOTIATIONS. Germany -and France Settle Their Status in Morocco. BERLIN, April 15. Foreign Minister Delcasse talked over the Moroccan ques tion with Prince von Radolln, the Ger man Ambassador to France, in Paris yes terday, thus beginning a direct exchange of views between the two countries. M. Delcasse opened the subject and therefore the Initiative came from France. Noth ing is said at the Foreign Office hero re garding the substance of the Interview, only that Prince Von Radolln received M. Delcassc's observation In a suitable spirit. BEETS ON INDIANS' LAND. Company May Lease a Portion of Yakima Reservation. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 15. At the instance of Rep resentatives Jones, the Secretary of the Interior has granted authority to the Yak ima Indians, in Eastern Washington, to lease their unimproved allotted lands, amounting to about 1500 acres, for a term of ten years. Some time ago Represen tative Jones laid before the Secretary a letter from Mayor C. A. Fetcher, of North Yakima, on behalf of a corporation that desires to erect a beet-sugar factory at xsorth Yakima. The company, how ever, will not build, unless it has assur ance that It will be furnished with a stated quantity of beets, and Inquiry de velops the fact that there Is not suffi cient land tributary to North Yakima on which the beets can be grown, unless it is possible to use a part of the Indian lands on the reservation. The Indians, or many of them, are will ing to lease their lands for this purpose, and the Department is willing they should do so for a stated period, at a rate not less than 51 per acre per year. The Department further Insists that In dians shall be given employment In the beets fields, and will require lessees of each SO-acre tract to put up improvements to the value of 1500, such as house, barn, fences, etc.. such Improvements to Jje of a permanent character and become the property of the Indian owner at the end of the 10-year lease. It Is also stipulated that at the end of the 10 years at least 10 of each 0- acres shall be planted in alfalfa, for the benefit of the Indians. BRIEF TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
