the companies have beon negnl Sh 1 injc but
that as yet lie had not heard whether any

the progress of the negotiations, however,
and reports from Sent tie which Indicate
that the local end of the agreement at
that place has been concluded there neems
to be but little doubt that the Harriman
find Hill interests will conclude their ani
mosity in the NorthwoKt.
If an agreement has been reached It
means that Hill will have unobstructed
entrance to Portland and an opportunity
to acquire adequate terminal facilities,
that Harriman will receive- Rimilar. treat
ment In Seattle from the hands of Hill
and probably that the railroad war along
the north bank will rraw. litigation in
the Vnited States LXstrlct Court in Port
land between the rival railroad Interests
for the possesion of certain terminal
grounds and privileges will be dropped, so
It Is understood. If indications of a settle
ment are correct. Disputes over icrade
eroHsinpts of the proposed Oregon & Wash
ington line to Seattle, which will almost
parallel the tracks of the Northern Pa
cific, will also toe ended.
It is not known, whether the negoti
ations Include the flgrht for the rlffht-
ot-way ftlonp; th North Lake, which Is
being waged with vijror, but It Is
thought that this matter Has also been
taken up and considered for settle-
nient, It Is known that the represent-
RttveH of Hill and Harriman have come
together over the differences that arose
In Seattle and that the deal la big
enough to comprise all right-of-way
problems between Portland and Seattle.
Including; the terminal facilities and
trackage arrangements at both cities.
The agreement but needs Hill's ap-
proval, which there, is every reason to
believe will be forthcoming-, as his rep
resentatives have bee'n acting; under
his directions.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been expended by the railroad
magnates In determined attempts to
Keep each, other out of their respective
territory. In October officials "of the
various companies antagonistic to each
other assembled at Chicago at a peace
conference, which was a dismal fail
ure. The Hill agents had only author
ity to settle the Portland disputes, but
as the Harriman representatives In
sisted that each of the many differences
that have arisen in the Northwest be
tween the conflicting: Interests be con
sidered, negotiations were discontinued.
following me uisrupnon 01 ine peace
conference In Chicago, Harriman began
his condemnation suits in Portland to
extend the terminal grounds and to
squeeze Hill, who was as aggressive
in Seattle as the former was In Port
land. In Seattle. Harriman wanted
similar rights for his Oregon & Wash
ington line to the Sound, as demanded
by the Portland & Seattle in North
Portland. These are chiefly satisfactory
grade crossings of- -the other's tracks
giving easy access to tooth cities.

Distant Warning Buzzer Raid
Urea k s l'p - 1 1 .
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Cap
tain of Police Moore, commanding the
day patrol, and Policeman James Ander-
son made one of the most complete
raids on a Chinese gambling-house at 67
Second street ever made In the district.
J n addition to five arrests, they nefzed
a heavy door, 200 feet of wire, a buzzer,
two opium layouts and the table and
chairs that were used around a f&ntan
table.
In addition to its completeness, the
Taia was ai?o spectacular, as Captain
Moore and rolicpiiian Anderson wera
obliged to tear clown an extra-heavy
door, placed specially to foil the ofn-
ters In attempts at arrets. The door
served its purpose in part only In this
case. A buzzer, in the shape of a nail,
tied to an electric button and placed in
the floor near the front door, was the
Instrument upei by a wily Chinese to
notify the players within that the po
nce were approaching.
FSy means of an electric pparn tus, the
Chinese were able to swing the very
heavy door shut quickly, thus temporari
ly checking the prourpss of the officers.
The door wan thick and constructed with
double clamp and heavy Iron barn, and
ho successfully withstood the kicks and
jams Of a scunJ of the largest and
atronsrest policemen available.
Capt a in M oore and Fol ice ma n A nder
son were therefore obliged to await the
pleasure or the Chinese before tlicy could
enter the establishment. As usual, when
thfi police Kt In there was no icame In
progretw.' taut every Inmate of the place
was lined up nna taKen to headquarters,
Two were Wked on charges of having
opium In their possession, and the other
three were charaed with being inmates
of a fcambllnfc-house.
After booking the Chinese, Captain
Moore and Policeman Anderson returned
to the . Raaiibllnif-houso. which Is but &
few doors north of pollco headquarters,
and netied everything that mav tend to
establish a violation of the law when
the cases are tried in the Municipal
Court. It took t'aptaln Moore and Po
liceman Anderson an hour to inspect
every portion of the RanibllnR-house and
to g-et the property together. Thev re
moved the heavy door and carted 'it to
headquarters, with the double damps and
heavy iron bars. They tore up the buz
ser and the 200 feet of wire that con
nected it with a bell u feet distant from
the nail on which the look-out stepped
to give the danger signal ; they also
Mtzed two full layouts (or opium-gmok-
infr. a fantnn table and chairs.
Captain Moore and Policeman Ander
son were unable to grt Into the Ra-mblinx"-
house In time to see any ran lan being
played, but they give it as their opinion
that when the case ar tried in the Mu
nicipal Court It will be rather difficult
for the Chinese to give J udco Cameron
satisfactory reasons for all of tho para-
phernalla round there.

and served a term as state Senator.
Roth he and Mrs. Coe have been lead-
ers In the movement to extend suffrage
to women, and Mrs. Coe is at present
honorary president of the Oregon State
Suffrage Association,' Having declined
the active presidency, in which ca
pacity she has served in the past. The
couple have planned to do much enter
taining In their new home Curing the
next suffrage campaign, and to make
the social features one of the leading:
ones in the campaign.
When Dr. and Mrs. Coe came to Port
land they both engaged In practice,
Mrs. Coe assisting in a small sanitarium
Dr. Coe then established. As the project
gradually enlarged. Mrs. Coe wit h drew
to her home duties, and Dr. Coe be-
came identified with the present Crys
tal Springs Sanatorium (formerly the
Mount Tabor Sanatorium), of which he
is now treasurer. He is editor of the
Medical Sentinel. While having prac
tlcally withdrawn from active practice
outside his sanatorium, he lias become
Identified with several business
projects, prominent anions them being
the development of copper properties at
the base of Mount St. Helens, and the
construction of a loop electric line from.
Portland to Spirit Lake, where the cop-
per mines ar? located. When the
women of the Northwest determined to
erect & statue to Sacajewea. Or. and
Mrs. Coe came forward with the do
nation of the necessary copper from one
o( their mines to make the bronze.

the trip east by way of Panama, and
he carried personal introductions from
the President to officials there and In
Cuba. He Intends making a personal
' investigation and study of the sanitary
conditions from the standpoint of labor
and reporting personally to the Presi
dent. He will also attend to final details
concerning the construction of the St
Helcna road, and stated before leaving
that he expected to be ready to start
work on the line immediately upon his
return.

steamer has been wrecked. The vessel
was sighted at 5 P. SI. of the same day,
about 16 miles southwest of Point Lo

blowing, and she was headed north at
the time. It is surmised that she had
shipped several heavy seas, and had
temporarily cliansed her course to

City of Panama, headed south, off Point

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect

ize Its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the- more
you take of It the better: it s not a drtjK

Impurities always present In the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the' system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Im
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious Ras which

All druggists sell charcoal In one form

Btuart'a Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather In the form of
large, pleasant tastins loxensres, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
