Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
to Control Redwood Output
in Northern California.
SEVEN RAILROADS MERGED
Lines Are to Bo Operated Jointly by
the Two Transcontinental Sys
tems as Result of a Year's
Maneuvering.
SAN FRANX'ISCO. Dee. 2!. (Special.)
The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe
companies January 1 will assume joint
government ot seven railroads in the
northwestern part of the state, and which
will give them control of the redwood
lumber industry in Humboldt and Mendo
cino counties.
The roads which are to be Incorpor
ated under the name of the Northwest
ern Pacific Railroad Company are the
California Northern, California Midland.
Kureka, & Eel River Railroad. Fort Bras
& Southeastern, Eureka & Oregon, Cali
fornia & Northwestern and North Shore.
The first three lines are now under the
general name of the San Francisco &
Northwestern Company, but In the new
incorporation they will assume their re
spective names.
This merger Is the culmination of at
least one. year's work and there has been
nothing in the railroad world in this state
In recent years which has created so much
curiosity. The Santa l"e several years
ago purchased secretly several small
Northern California railroads, and the
Impression went abroad that the lines
were bought for President Hill, of the
Great Northern. Then the Santa Fe
came out of cover and made a bid for
the California Northwestern.
In the meantime E. H. Harriman be-
came active and secured the North
Shore from John Martin and R. M.
Hotallng. Harriman then threatened to
parallel the California Northwestern, and
so bought out A. A. Foster, who was the
president and one of the heaviest owners.
The purchase was kept secret for a time,
the ownership being denied both by
Foster and the Southern Pacific, though
Harriman men wero running the depart
ments, and reports were being trans
mitted to Julius Kruttschnitt.
During this time the Santa Fe was
steadily building south from Kureka
and the Southern Pacific was equally
busy extending the California Northwest
ern line northward. A fight between the
two roads seemed imminent, and then a
report became current that a combine
had been effected. President Ripley, of
the Santa Fe, confirmed this report, say
ing that the two companies had joined
hands and that there woijjd be an equal
division in all things, as It would not pay
cither system to build parallel roads.
The Santa, Fe and Southern Pacltlc will
now Jointly operate all the roads, in
cluding the ferryboats and all the other
properties.
WHEAT CROP OX I-UMBElt CARS
Shipments Held So Long That the
Lumber Turns Black.
SEATTLE. "Wash., Dec. 2). (Special.)
-Lumbermen alleged today at the month
ly meeting of the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers' Association that they
have completed evidence showing loaded
lumber cars have been held by the'North
ern Pacific on terminal tracks at Seattle
and Tacoma so long that grass Is grow
ing on the loads and that the lumber Is
blackened with age. Charles T. Patten,
of the Atlas Lumber Company, has a
photograph showing wheut six inches in
height on top of one car loaded with
lumber that he thought was in tho East.
Several lumber mills are already re
ported closed on .account of a lack of
cars and the situation is without Indi
cation of improvement. It is said by
mlllmen that more than WOO empty cars
are In the yards at Seattle and Tacoma.
which the railroad will not distribute.
Trouble may bo made for certain mill
men, whom it is stated, are bribing train
crews to leave empties at their plants.
This action is forbidden by state and
Federal laws.
Only immediate steps, say Seattle feed
dealers, can avert a ruinous hay famine
In all the Sound cities In the next three
weeks. Less than 5 per cent of the re
quired quantity of timothy and alfalfa
Is being brought from Kllcnsburg and
Yakima and a) days more will see the
last of the inferior Puget Sound crop,
which has been used to supply the de
mand. It is Impossible to get cars on the
Northern Pacific, the road which passes
through tho hay country, and owners of
cattle and horses see a disastrous famine
ahead. In two weeks the price has risen
from $14 to $22 a ton and promises to
leach $2S In a very few days. Dealers
who are used' to having BOO tons in stock
have now about five tons. Already many
owners have allowed their milch cows to
dry up or have sold them for beef and
every day the suffering promises to be
come more acute.
CANVASS OP BUSINESS MEN.
Los Angeles People Xot Favorable to
Japanese Exclusion.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 29. An ef
fort Is to be made to ascertain the pre
vailing; sentiment among Los Angeles
business men as to Japanese exclusion.
Secretary F. J. Zechandclaar of the
Merchants' & Manufacturers' Associa
tion has sent to all members of that
organization return postal cards which
read:
"In view of the agitation regarding
the exclusion of. the Mongolian race
from this country, especially as It af
fects the Japanese, the board of direc
tors of this association desires an ex
pression from you on this subject."
Discussing the move today, Mr. Zee
handelaar said:
We believe that tho gist of all this
agitation Is founded on activity of
union labor leaders, and they are try
ing to involve the entire state In the
controversy. Tf Japanese labor were
cut off from Southern California, many
interests would suffer."

PROJECTED BRAXCH IS A HAR
RIMAN PROJECT.
Disclosure Is Made Through the
Terms of the Franchise Accept
ed by the New Road.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 29. (Special.)
The Oregon & Washington, Harriman's
line building to Puget Sound, will Invade
the Gray's Harbor country. The Gray's
Harbor & Puget Sound Railroad, seeking
franchises in Hoqulam, Aberdeen and
Cosmopolls, is a Harriman branch line.
This fact is disclosed by the terms of
the franchise, the new system has agreed
to accept and by the methods Involved
in the lines, fight on tno harbod. -The
road is willing to condemn a right of
way and has agreed to accept a fran
chise that provides within three years the
road must connect with a transconti
rental line other than the Northern Pa
cific or Great Northern and must have
in operation a line to Puget Sound.
There is no other system projected to
the Coast save the Harriman line that
can fulfill these conditions, and it is as
serted positively by high railroad author
ity that consent was given for such con
ditions because the Harriman officials
are willing to disclose a general plan
of invasion into Western Washington dis
tricts. There has been no secret about the
Harriman (projection down the Columbia
River below Vancouver, and It Is assert
ed there will not be. any mystery much
longer about the Gray"s Harbor branch.
The Harriman system will tap the entire
district In the extreme southwestern part
of the state.

THE NEW YEAR'S OREGONIAN FOR 1907 .
The annual number of The Oregonian will be published on Tuesday
morning next. It will contain valuable information, in condensed form,
of Portland, which is today recognized as one of the greatest cities of
the Pacific Coast. Portland's progress marks the growth and develop
ment of the wonderful section of country of which Portland is the dis
tributing center. The phenomenal growth of Portland during 1906,
following Exposition year, has. been a revelation to every one inter
ested in Portland's prosperity. The volume of business handled in
Portland during 190b' vastly exceeds the volume of business handled
in 1903, Exposition year. There has been a marked increase in Port
land realty values this year. The New Year's Oregonian will be
mailed to any address in the United States, Canada or Mexico for
8 CENTS A COPY, POSTAGE PREPAID
enact a law amending the present
county nigh school law to the extent
that two or more districts may unite
in establishing and maintaining a con
solidated high school. At a meeting
ot the Alumni Association of the Orc
ron City schools held last night the
Initiative was taken towards, securing
this legislation. The plan was sug
gested by Professors T. J. Gary and
L. A. Read, principals of the Willam
ette and Parkplace Schools, respec
tively. The purpose of the amendment that
is suggested la to enable Oregon City
and adjoining districts, or any other
districts or combination of districts
witnin a county to Join in estsbllsn
lng what may be termed a consolidated
high school. The government of such
an Institution would be vested in a
board of directors elected from among
the taxpayers of the districts cm
braced in tho high school territory.
The expense of maintaining such a
school woulJ be provided by a special
high school tax, in addition to the spe
cial tax now levied for this purpose
by nearly every district, but the dis
trict special tax would not necessarily
be so large as under present condi
tions, for the reason that the high
school room3 now in use in the differ
ent schools would not have to be con
tinued. By securing this amendment advo
cates of higher education through a
county high school believe that the
opposition that now exists among the
outlying country districts to a county
high school, which would in all prob
ability be located in the principal city
within the county, would be satisfied.
The proposed amendment will make
provision for neither a county high
school, which would be difficult to es
tablish because of this opposition from
the country, nor a central high school,
to which opposition might be offered
by the city or town In which such an
institution might be proposed for the
reason that in the absence of a suita
ble building for the school the one
district would not agree to assume the
entire cost of erecting such a build
ing as would be required for the school.
Under tho project proposed by the
Alumni Association of this city the
new building would be constructed at
the expense of all the districts that
would unite In establishing tho school.
Following the business meeting of
the association a social session was
beld. when a number of short ad
dresses were made, among them being
one of a reminiscent character by Mrs.
Kate Hunsaker Nicholas, of Portland,
who was a member of the Oregon City
Public School graduating class of 1870.

FACE IS HER MISFORTUNE
PRETTY DEPUTY CLERK LOSES
HER POSITION.
Dainty Femininity Said to Have
Proved Distracting lu the Appel
late Court In San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 29.-(Special.)-"My
face is my fortune, kind sir. she
said.". But Miss E. R. McKeen. deputy
clerk and stenographer of the Appellate
Court of the First District,' has found a
pretty face and trim figure to be a mis
fortunetemporarily at least. It has been
decided by the honorable Justices of the
court that a man will be more In keeping
with the musty records of the court than
a dainty bit of femininity. i
It has been whispered in the depths of
clubrooms that perhaps so beautiful a
face has distracted the attention of
Judges, attorneys and witnesses, and that,
although staid and solemn, the Judges
are but human, and the pretty figure
tripping gaily into the solemn chambers,
has caused Blackstone to be forgotten.
It has also been confidentially expressed
over sundry beakes that the green-eyed
monster may have had some hand In the
removal of Miss McKeen. as the Judges
are men of family, and the wives may be
lieve in removing from them the possibil
ity of temptation.

UNLESS
CURED
The doctor who devotes his entire time to certain
ailments to the exclusion of all others should know
a little more about them than the doctor who at
tempts to treat everything? Of course you do. You
know that a man who writes signs can do it better
than the man who paints houses. Thu man who shoes
horses exclusively will turn out better work in his
line than the general blacksmith. It stands to rea
son, therefore, that a doctor who lias spent his life
in the faithful studv and treatment of diseases of
men is qualified to cope with their ailments. Tou
must not. however, mistake quaoks for physlolans.
The man who advertises something: he does not ex- .
pert to do or that which people know he cannot af
ford to do gets no practice anyone else would want,
and fails to g-ive satlsfncti on to even that class or
people. Vt'e engage in no delusive propositions.

ceases almost instantly. The pools of stuirnniit blood are driven from
