TEB BtTNBAT OBEGOKliK, P0RTLA:1(D) MAT. S8,. IMC. NEW ROAOS MEAN . G!P IF CITY Portland Is the Dominant Cen 'ter of the Northwest Forever. TRADE ALL COMES HERE Down-Grade Haul on a "Water-Courso Grade Will Make Inland Em pire Its Tributary for All Time. , Portland's days of real prosperity will begin when the enormous amount of traffic now waiting for transporta tion In the Lewlston country and along the route of the proposed Snake Rlver Huntlngton branch begins to come down the grade from the interior Into the city. But the Northwest will not have to wait until "the completion of the roads now announced as about to be built before the various industries begin to leeX the effect of the change. It Is ex pected that the three roads, reaching from Huntington down the . Snake River and through the Nez Perces country and the Lewiston district, will cost the Union Pacific, the Northern Pacific and the O. R. & N. In round numbers at least $18,500,000. Of this amount, it Is safe to say that one-third will be spent for labor alone, while the Incidental supplies and necessities that will have to be bought from the North west will spread an enormous amount of money through the" districts contlgu-j ous to the .construction work which" will in turn be sent over the entire Northwest. Prosperity for Portland. It is the permanent development and the continuing stream of prosperity that will be set rolling towards Port land which Is Interesting the people, however, and it is hard to comprehend its magnitude. When E. H. Llbby was In Portland during the first days of the month in the interest of the Lewlston-Grange-ville electric project, he made a state ment as to something of what might be expected from the completion of nls scheme alone. It was estimated by him that the construction of the elec tric road would bring $1,000,000 an nually Intov the pockets of Portland's varied interests doing business in the districts fed by the line. If that Is so with the electric road, which is a small thing In comparison with the three al lied roads about to be built, the advan. tages tb be gleaned from the efforts of the HIll-Harrlman combination can only be guessed at the present time. The country that will be opened by the Lewlston-Grangeville -and the Lewiston-Rlparia lines is now produc ing an estimated 10,000,000 bushels of wheat annually, and is capable of rais ing 40,000,000 bushels, and moro, once there is an adequate transportation service given to draw the grain to the markets. The Huntlngton-Grangevllle route, along the Snake River, pf more than E50 miles in length, will open the rich Grand Ronde territory, but more than That, will make it possible to operate at an advantage the many rich mines existing in the Seven Devils country, which heretofore have been only par tially worked, owing to the impossi bility of" getting the products out of the country. It is estimated that the gold produclon of the regions contigu ous to the new lines will equarthat of both California and Colorado, and. the statistics from California alone show an annual production of more than $17,300,000. Billions of feet of timber; to say nothing of the many other products now being raised, or that will be as soon as the country is once open to the markets, will And an outlet over the new lines -Into Portland. "What the Roads Mean. The new roads mean the opening of a new country along practically S00 miles of new track and through a dis trict whose varied industries and many products hold the output of an empire in itself. The natural and only destin ation for all of this new business is Portland, for the loaded trains of the new lines would almost run them selves into the city once they were given a start,, and a boost here and there over an occasional grade. The entire , route ' is simply the way the water runs down the Snake, from Huntington to Lewiston. oyer the iew line from there to Rlparia, along the Lewiston-Rlparia branch, from there over either, the present tracks of tne Washington & Calurabia. River Rail way or the O. R. & K.'to "Walliita. Juno tlon, and from tfe&t point daws tke MAI? ILLUSTRATING PROJECTED LINES INTO CLEARWATER COUNTRY, SHOWING HOW. IT WILL BE MADE TRIBUTARY TO PORTLAND main line of the O. Jt. & N. Into Port land. The Huntington line Is being built to overcome the haul over the almost im practical grades of Blue Mountains be tween Huntington and La Grande. It will make a longer pull, but an easier and a cheaper one, and practically the same schedule can be maintained on that account. Thanks must be, and are being, re turned to Hill and Harnman and all the other realroad people, by those of the Northwest who are interested in the development of the country. But it is the opinion of those who have fol lowed the problem up to its present seeming solution that more thanks should be, in justice, returned those men who have financed and worked for and completed the Portage Road at The Dalles. It is the firm conviction of all that this is the magic key by which the door to the interior has at last been unlocked, after hopes of its ever open ing had grown dim. The Portage Road will open the river to Lewiston, and perhaps farther than that. It brings the railroads face to face with water competition and will force them to lower their rates above The Dalles to a parity with those below that place. "With the construc tion of the Lewlston-Grangeville elec tric road and the employment of a fleet upon the upper river, all of which has been provided for, it would throw the traffic of the interior upon the river and rob the roads of the revenue which they had grown to look upon as their own. It opens the same relative terri tory that is to be served by the two, and nearly all of the three lines, the construction of which has been an nounced. Face to face with this condition and the evident earnest intention of the people to provide for themselves what the railroads long since should have offered, but failed- to do, there was nothing for the railroad managers to do but to build. To the members of the Open River Association and the officers who have labored so earnestly, to the members or ine .foriage oaru ana 10 me ousi ness men throughout the Northwest, who have contributed time and labor and money towards the project, should be given then the lion's portion of the praise. The railroads are about to build the three roads of more than S00 miles in length, but they are doing it to a certain degree in the same spirit as possesses the -man who surrenders his chips after havlrfg backed them with a bob-tailed flush. Must Make Appropriation. Relative to the proposed Increase-in the pay of the Fire Department, under the charter the City Auditor Is prohibited from drawing any warrants unless the money Is In the city treasury, and if there Is any Increase there will have to be a corresponding provision to meet It, as thet Auditor Is personally not permitted to draw upon the funds of one fiscal year to offset the deficiencies of another. The Executive Board has recommended the increase in the pay of the firemen upon the following basis: Captains, 5S3; lieutenants, $S0, and the rank and flic as follows: first six months, 563; second six months, $70; and third six months, $75, where It Is to remain permanently. It Is expected that the Council will pass upon the matter at Its next regular meeting, in which event It is probable that spe cial care will be taken to see that tho Increase as definitely established shall carry with it a sufficient appropriation to meet all the requirements. Funeral of Mrs. Hcrrman. The funeral of Mrs. Cillie Herrman. whose death took place in this city on Thursday last, will be held this morning from the family residence at 555 Seventh street. Mrs. Herrman was one of Oregon's pio neer women, and was known and respect ed throughout tho Willamette Valley, where she had resided for more than 40 years. She came to Oregon.

NOW CAMPED AT PRESIDIO Sixteenth Infantry Sails -on the Shcr- Idan on tho 13th Seventh Cav alry Headquarters and Band Await Logan. SAN FRANCISCO. May 27. Special.) The headquarters, band and first squad ron of the Seventh Cavalry. . Colonel Charles Morton commanding, and the en tire Sixteenth Infantry, Colonel Butler D. Price commanding, "arrived at the Pre sidio this morning and went Into the can tonment quarters, awaiting transporta tion to the Philippines. The Sixteenth Infantry, which comes from Fort Mc Pherson, Ga., and the squadron of the Seventh Cavalry, which comes from Fort Myer. Va., will sail on the Sheridan, June 13. Thd headquarters and band of the Sev enth Cavalry will Temaln here until Juno 30, when they will sail on the Logan. The Sheridan already has so many passengers that two bands cannot very well be ac commodated. " Captain J. B. Bennett, Six teenth Lpfantry, returns to many old friends here. He was aid to Major-Gen-eral Henry C Mcrrlam, when the latter was In command of the Department of California, In 1S9S. The Seventh Cavalry, originally the fa mous Custer Regiment, Is known In the army as the "hoodoo" regiment, from tho many vicissitudes through which It has passed. Tho story of how they were chopped to pieces in the Custer campaign of 1S67 is one of the famous events in the military "history of the United States. The surviving officers of that massacre re ceived almost immediate promotion and are in consequence still young for their rank. Promotion being regimental at that time, the officers who were not killed went up rapidly in the ranks to fill the places of their comrades. Almost the entire regiment was wiped out, however. Many new officers were assigned, and they began their career afresh, only to meet more disasters. They were severely hurt in a railroad accident a few years ago, and were badly cut up In the battle of Wounded Kncev In the last Sioux campaign. They have seen most of their service since the war in Havana, Cuba. The Twenty-third Infantry, no-v on the way here on the transport Thomas, will go "direct to their new station at Madison Barracks, New York, which has just been vacated by the Ninth Infantry. The hear ing of the Richards court-martial will be postponed until their arrival, as most of the Important witnesses arc in this regi ment. The session will be held behind closed doors, and it Is hoped by the offi cers of the court and the friends of the young man himself that the ordeal of his long trial will be concluded by the present court. The second squadron of the Twelfth Cavalry, who are also coming in on the Logan, will go to the historic ground of Chlckamauga, which Is known In the army as Fort George H. Thomas. The Twelfth Cavalry has in Its roster two officers o.f the general staff. Colonel John B. Kerr," commanding, "and Captain Rob ert E. L. Mlchle. Companies A and B. First Battalion of Engineers, will start from the East, soon, for the Philippines, via San Francisco. They will sail on the Logan June 30.

Tho news from Manchuria indicates that Field Marshal Oyama's offensive has come to a halt. The transport service between Japan and the mainland of Manchuria Is believed to have been suspended. Although the Japanese ac cumulated reinforcements and large quantities of supplies on the mainland, sinco Admiral Rojestvensky appeared in Chinese waters the dictates of pru dence or the decision of Admiral Togo against the advisability of accepting an open battle with Rojestvensky may have induced a change in Oyama's plans. The correspondent of the Associated Press at tho Russian headquarters confirms the theory of a change in the .Japanese plans. He telegraphs that the .Japanese are retiring at the slight est pressure on their right or center and are shifting eastward, seemingly with General Kurokl developing a turning movement against Genera Llnlevitch's - left, for tho purpose of screening General Kawamura's army, which Is reported to be still farther east, presumably ready to march on Vladivostok. The Japanese movements, however, apparently are awaiting the result of the sea fight. The correspondent also says the eyes of the whole Russian army are centered on Rojestvensky. RUSSIANS.
