THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN7 'P'OKTl.'AKD, 'AX"GtTST Z6,,t,190J KLAMATH FULLS OfJ THE Ml LINE Southern Pacific Has Pur chased the California & Northeastern. WILL EXTEND TO EUGENE Route W ith Easier Grades to Be Es tablished Very Soon Between. Portland and San Francisco East of the Cascades. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Aug. 25. (Spe cial.) Speedy completion of the Califor nia & Northeastern Railroad from its present terminus near Grass Lake to Klamath Falls, and building with the ut most dispatch of the Oregon Eastern from Kugene, making a new through route, is assured by the sale of the California & Northeastern to the Southern Pacific, which is officially announced here by President A. N. Nattzger, of the Cali fornia & Northeastern. ' Naftzser states that the Southern Pa cific will immediately take charge of op erations and construction of the line. Passenger service will he established over the new reute in connection with etages Sunday, and freight service has already been started. The terms of transfer to the Southern Tacltic are not made public, but it ia un derstood that bonds of the company will be guaranteed by the Harriman system, and that in the transfer of the railroad the lands acquired remain in possession of President A. H. Naftzger and asso ciates, nearly all of whom are Southern California men. A bonus of $100,000, subscribed by citl en of this country, will go to the Southern Pacific, If the road is finished by March next. CUTS OUT THE HEAVY GRADES 2'ew Route Will Be Longer Than by Way of Shasta. Authoritative information has been re ceived from 9.111 Francisco, confirming the sale of the California & Northeastern to the Southern Pacific. Superintendent O'Brien is absent from Portland at pres ent, and none of the other Harriman of ficials would make a public statement In regard to the construction of the line Into the Klamath country. However, it is believed that the con struction of the line from Goose Lake to Klamath, with final connection with the main line at Kugene, will bo carried through without delay! It has long been known that the Southern Pacific was seeking a route to avoid the heavy grades of the Siskiyous, and it is regarded that the present step Is evidence of the ulti mate decision in this matter. When the new line Is completed, it will doubtless be the routing for practically all through traffic to and from California. Construction- of the California & North eastern has now been carried on to a point about 45 miles fom Klamath Falls. Progress has been somewhat retarded by the financial embarrassment of its pro moters, It is said, but It is expected that, with the Southern Pacific in ownership, further delays will be eliminated. Even with operations pushed forward as rap idly as possible, it is hardly likely that tlie line will be completed by March, 1907, the date set as the limit for the securing of the $100,000 bonus subscribed for the most part by the people of Klamath County. ' The line when completed will be about 100 miles longer than the present Shasta . route, and the elevation will be practi cally the same. These facts, however, will be more than oitset by the grades on the new line, which will be much more gradual. They will permit of faster time and heavier loads than the present route. : The Southern Pacific has already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in at tempting to reduce the grades on the Shasta line. They are sti'J very heavy, however, and the project of a route fur ther east has been under consideration for a long time. Not only will it make a much easier route, but will also give the Southern Pacific the handling of the im mense traffic which la sure to result with the development of the Klamath country'. ENCOURAGES RACE SUICIDE CHARGE MADK AGAIXST WASHING. ' TON RAILROAD COMMISSION. Baby Carriage, I nder the New Tariff, Are Taxed at Double the ' Old Rate. OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 23. (Special.) -The Railroad Commission of Wash ington is accused of conspiring' to en courage race suicide. Foundation for the charge lies in the fact that under a recent railroad schedule put In force by authority of the: commission the rate on baby carriages has been practically doubled. One shipper de clares that the rate' Is "prohibitive. The Railroad Commission recently brought about a change in the minimum charge on small shipments. The idea of the commission was to reduce the rate, which has heretofore been the second-class rate for 100 pounds. Under the new rule agreed upon by the rail roads and the commission, all small packages are hereafter to be carried at tiie 100-pound rate for the class of goods to which the shipment belongs. This will make a material reduction in packages containing merchandise of the third and fourth class, to which classes the great bulk of small ship ments belong. On small packages of first-class Roods the new schedule allows the reg ular freight rate for 100 pounds of that class. Several complaints have come to the commission on account of these occasional shipments where the rate is increased over the old schedule. A consignee at Kennewlck received a baby carriage from Portland, weight 40 pounds, on which the freight charges were $2.50. The old rate would have been about 95 cents. "This new rate," says the injured and discouraged con signee, "is prohibitive." TWICKENHAM CAN BE SAVED Steamer Is Held by Point of Rock Under the Forecastle. VICTORIA. B. C. Aug. 25.

Dr. Titus Is Fined $10 When Testing; the Working; of a Mu nicipal Law. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 25. (Special.) Dr. Herman F. Titus, formerly editor of the Socialist National organ, special correspondent for several big Socialist papers and one of the most promi nent Socialist orators In the country, was fined $10 today for blockading- the public streets. This is the culmination of a deliberate attempt on the part of the Socialists to force a test of the law forbidding the gathering of crowds on the streets that blockade the thorough fares. Titus held two public meetings at Second avenue and Union Btreet in the heart of the retail district, defying the police to interfere with him, and threatening vengeance if he was mo lested. At each of his street meetings, Titus denounced the - prosecution of Moyer, Heywood and Pettibone for the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg, a crusade that he has taken up with the Socialists. When arrested, Titus refused to ac cept bail, and demanded to be impris oned. Finally, friends took him away. His arrest and fine have prompted Henry Austin Adams, the former New York Episcopal and Catholic prelate living here, under his pen name of Vin cent Harper, to call a mass meeting Sunday, at which he will denounce the police and the laws. Adams, or Harper, has Joined the Jack London school of Socialism. He is one of the writers on the Pessimist, a local publication of discontent. II O. R. A N. TAX! AGENT MORROW CATCHES FLEEING TRAIN.

R. & N., made a record-breaking run today in an auto mobile from Dayton to Bowles Station, a distance of 13 miles, in order to over take a passenger train which had left him at Dayton. Morrow was due to ap pear before the Equalization Board in this city this afternoon, to present an argument against the proposed raise in the company's assessment, and as the board had announced that It would ad journ this evening it was imperative that he should reach this city today.

WOULD AVOID ASSESSMENT Seattle Methodist Wants Damages of $1 From the City. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 25. (Special.) A controversy has arisen between the Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Protestant Episoopal Church and the City of Seattle regarding alleged dam ages done to the church building it the corner of Third avenue and Pine street through the regrade of the last named thoroughfare. The church people want damages of $1 in order that they may not be obliged to pay any assessment on the regrade work. ThlB the city refuses to give, on the grounds that since the regrade was contemplated the church property has increased in value some 390,000, and that under the circumstances the Board of Missions can well afford to pay Its share of expenses for the im provements. When the condemnation case was tried in the Superior Court the church was awarded damages In the sum of 35000. The city took the case to the United etates Circuit Court of Appeals and the judgment was reversed. Gilchrist Has Blue Rock Record. CENTRALIA, Wash., Aug. 25. (Spe cial.)
