POETLAXD, JtTXE 2. 1907. HARRIMAN ns L run SLOWER GO INTO EFFECT JUNE 9 Banning Time of Trains From Port land to the East Increased four Hours and SO Minutes. Move Is for Economy. in Una with the policy of other trans continental railroads In lengthening their schedules to the Pacific Coast, the Harri Bian lines are arranging a general re vision of timecards which will mean slower time for overland trains to Chi cago, as well as to San Francisco. The changes will go into effect June 9. When the first announcement of slow er time was made recently, by other railroads, the order was ascribed to econ omy of operation. Crack trans-continental trains are heavy as well as hand some, and they attract travel by reason of their fast time, coupled with their palatial appointments. It costs money to rush these heavy trains over mountain ranges and across the prairies at break neck speed, and tho railroad managers decided that the trains did not pay for the expense and risk Involved. Their greatest value Is said to be realized In advertising the road. So when the order went out from the ' railroad headquar ters a while ago for the general paring of expenses, the flyers were about the flrst to be affected by the retrenchment joltry. Some trains were shortened to lighten the load the locomotives had ot carry. In other cases slower running time was inaugurated to save coal bills. But economy Is not given as the rea son for the change in schedules by the Harriman officials. It is said that as the trans-contnlental trains are long and heavy, with traffic constantly Increasing, it is found to be more and more difficult to adhere to the fixed schedules. The management believes it Is more to the public advantage to run trains exactly on time than to make fast time one day and be far behind the next. The change is said to be In the interest of better service and increased regularity. The time to Chicago by the O. R. A K., Oregon Short Line and Union Pacifio from Portland will be lengthened four hours and 30 minutes. A 75-hour schedule Is now being arranged. Train No. 2. the Chicago-Portland Spe cial, the crack overland flyer between Portland and the East, will leave Port land at 8:30 P. M., Instead of at 9:30 arriving at Chicago at 12:30 P. M., instead or 9 A. M. Train No. 6 will leave Port land at 7:30 P. M. instead of 8:15 P. M reaching Chicago at 8:30 A. M.r Instead of 7:30 A. M. The Biggs Local will leave at S A. M.. Instead of 8:15 A. M. There will be no change in the time of leaving or arrival of the Spokane flyer. No. 1 will reach Portland at 8:10 P. M., Instead of 7:30. No. 5 will arrive here at 10 A. M.. instead of 9:30 A. M.. and No. 7 will arrive at 6:15 P. M., Instead of 5:45 P. M. Kor first-class travel to New ,York, the change will not affect connections at Chi cago with the Twentieth Century Lim ited. On the Southern Pacific, train No. 11 will leave Portland at 8:15 A. M., Instead of 8:30 A. M. Train No. 15 will leave at 7:45 P. M.. instead of 7:50. There will be no change in the schedule of the Cottage Grove local, and No. 13, leaving for San Francisco at 11:30 P. M.. will maintain the same running time. Incom ing trains over the Southern Pacific will remain the same as at present. The schedules on the Oregon lines are now being worked over to provide for the desired changes. It Is believed by the Harriman managers that better serv ice will result with the new schedules.

A special train, carrying a large num ber of Dunkards, returning from the lxs Anxeles convention, left Portland last night for Allentown, Pa., the home of the delegates, who spent a day and a half In and around Portland. They went to The Dalles by rail yesterday and re turned by boat. When they left last right they expressed admiration for Port land and Oregon. Their train left over the Northern Pacific last - night at 10 o'clock for Seattle, where it will take tho Canadian Pacific tracks for the Kast. risk of their lives. This pamphlet. under the head of suggestions, uses the following language: "This act looks to this committee very much like a scheme to provido certain peculiarly qualified engineers wltn comronaDie berths at the expense of builders and owners and of the engineers of station ary engines of the city over whom the board would have almost absolute power." This act in fact provides that there shall be a board of examiners. consisting of three members, who shall be paid a sum not to exceed - s iur 1. mtf,,- thav a ra In a ttpndfl.no8. I and that not more than J30 are to be drawn out of the fund for this pur pose monthly; hence you will readily see that It would be impossible for any person to have a very comfortable po sition, where three stationary engi neers would be entitled to the sum total of J30 monthly: this act pro vides, moreover, that this board shall be self-sustaining. There are something like 825 sta tionary engineers employed in this city. Upon their original examination it will be necessary for them to pay 15. and $1 each year thereafter for a renewal of their certificates. New members will be making application continually, and in this way the fund will always be sufficient to pay the board of examiners. There is some opposition from a few of the engineers employed In various positions in this city, from the fact that they are fully aware that it would be impossible for them to pass a first class examination, and they would be shown up In their true colors by ob taining a fourth grade certificate. Four grades of engineers are provid ed for in this ordinance, and these foil,- srrades will be privileged to run any plant in tho city, be it small or-' large; but It Is our, aesire tnu mo people understand the grade of engi neers that are being employed by some of the plants in this city. We hope that with this explanation of our position in the matter you will not vote "no," but will vote "yes" upon this ordinance, as it is very Important,, especially at this time, when this city has attained such proportions, and is not In the class of "villages" any longer. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OP STA TIONARY ENGINEERS. By James D. Asher, State Deputy President. LICENSE FOR ENGINEERS Argument for Enactment of Pro posed Ordinance. PORTLAND, Or.. June 1. (To the Kdltor.) We regret the necessity of being compelled to go into public print to uphold an ordinance in behalf of our association, to be voted upon at the city election. Monday next. We feel, however. In view of the fact that a certain combination of gentle men have sent out a pamphlet. "In formation for Voters," recommending that the people vote "No" on our or dinance. Justified in briefly presenting the arguments sustaining the ordi nance. We desire to call your attention to the fact that no city In the United States of the sise of Portland is with out a board of examiners for station ary engineers. All marine engineers are compelled to undergo a strict and rigid examination before they are com missioned to carry on their business. A few years ago the engineers of this city attempted to get a bill through tho Legislature licensing engineers, but were unsuccessful from the fact that a number of employers succeeded in killing It. Those who employ engineers have an erroneous idea that this ordi nance would tend to increase the wages of engineers. This is a mistaken Idea, as this ordinance provides for four class of engineers, and if an em ployer desires a fourth-class engineer, he ran secure the services of one. This ordinance is opposed by a class of peo ple who do not understand its mean ing, and by a class of employers who desire cheap labor. i We do not believe any man in this city would dslre to go aboard a steam boat with his family on an excursion or pleasure trip if he did not know there was a licensed man In charge of the engine-room. On the other hand, persons are con tinually operating large plants In this city, where engineers are daily em ployed In basements superintending engines and boilers used in running levators, electric plants, etc., that have not been examined as to their qualifications. This also applies to factories, such as sawmills, laundries, to., where thousands of people of the city are continually employed, at the BIG CROP OF JUNE BRIDES i JMchtcrn Marriage Licenses Issned on First Day of Season. Eighteen marriage licenses were Issued by Deputy County Clerk "Cupid" Rose yesterday, evidencing that the crop of June brides will be as large as usual. This Is regarded as a banner day of business for the counter under the marriage bell, only a few days in the past fiscal year excelling this record. The month just passed was a busy month for the County Clerk's office, fees for in struments llled amounting to $2907.20. which represents an Increase of $332.25 over May of last year.

For tho Most Part, No Odds Have Been Given Lane Money Held Back to the Last. The shouting and tumult of the mu nicipal campaign for 1907 Is about past. The last talk In behalf of the opposing candidates for Mayor has been said and nothing; more- remains but betting; on the result, the casting of the votes and the counting. During the primaries there was very little 'money wagered, and until within the last week very little was wagered on' the final result. During the early part of the week Dev lin money, flooded the market and the word was passed along that there was no Lane money in sight. This gave courage to the Devlin supporters and they waxed arrogant and boastful. Their money went begging. Friday saw a change. Not more than $1000 of the Devlin money bad been covered. Then there was an awaken ing. Suddenly there was a cyclone of Lane money, and within two hours all the Devlin money was swallowed up. The first big Lane bet was made by V. G. McPherson. He dropped Into Schiller's and took all of the Devlin money in sight, some $1500. Jack King arrived about this time and said he had $2000 of Devlin money, and Mr. McPherson announced that he would take $2500 more. King went to the bank to get the money, but McPher son got tired of waiting, and when King came back he was gone. After this the tide of the wagering battle ebbed and flowed. At times on the board in front of the cigar store the chalk would announce '$2000 on Devlin." Then as suddenly this would be rubbed out and Lane money would be offered. This continued until clos-Ing-up time, and .was renewed yester day morning, and when night closed something over $20,000 had been wag ered on the result of the election for Mayor. By Monday the amount will reach $30,000. Fred Miller yesterday afternoon, just about the time when the Devlin money was holding the board, left $1000 to bet on Lane. This announcement was left on the board for several hours without takers. Jerry Powers, hand ling other people's money, finally came along, and $$00 of the $1000 melted quickly. In ten minutes the remaining $200 was absorbed. Most of the Lane money is being gobbled up by the wise people, and the men who are wager ing the $1000 that Lane will fee re elected are for the most part promi nent business men. who never bet money only on elections, and then only when they feel confident. While the betting on the Mayoralty outcome may puzzle some people, espe cially the sudden influx of Lane money, there is really no puzzle about it. The men who believe Lane will be elected know of the large Republican majority, and knowing this, they have held back for odds. If the Republican majority was a solid one, and there was no de fections tn the party. Lane should be at least as. good as 4 to 1. It is such odds that the Lane backers have been AN APPEAL TO THE CITIZENS OF PORTLAND IN BEHALF OF THE ROSE SHOW AND FIESTA As many have expressed regret'that the Rose Show and Fiesta will be held at a time when the blooms have passed the zenith of their perfection, I feel. It Incumbent upon the management to explain the situation. The idea of a floral exposition was taken up too late this year to hold a successful meet at the exact time when the flowers were in the height of their glory. Portland has been regaled with many of the finest Rose Shows ever seen In this or any other country, but they have never attracted visitors from the outside world. It was desired that the present show ahould draw spectators from the entire Coast. To do this cheap excursion rates were a necessity, and advertising was imperative. Our dates, June 20 and 21. were selected that we might have the advantageof the very low excursion rates given six months ago to the Oregon Devel opment League, which meets in Portland at that time. The liberal busi ness men of Portland who have contributed to make this affair a tower ing success naturally hope and expect a return for their generosity. And they shall realize their wildest dreams along these lines. No one should sulk In his tent when there is such a grand opportunity to make Greater Portland world-renowned a the Rose City. Let every one get In harness and -pull together for the success of the Fiesta, and its tri umph this year will Insure a greater and grander carnival of flowers next year, when excursion rates can be had to bring the multitudes here when the blooms are at the height of their matchless beauty. The rose fanciers and culturlsts assure us hat roses in abundance and wealth of richness and fragrance will be available for the forthcoming Rose Show and Fiesta. The vast Forestry building will rival fairy bowers and exhale a fragrance that will be Inspiring and exhilarating. The floral parades will rival in gorgeous splendor the pageantry of medieval times. Picturesque traps and equipages, drawn by gaily capari soned horses, tricked out in a myriad of dazzling colors, will excite the wonder and admiration of all. - Autos formed into artistic creations of Flora will command salvos of applause. Many superb bands will discourse sweet music as the merry throngs march in unison with the gladsome, happy hour. Fully 109,000 guests will be in Portland during the days of festival and fun. and It behooves the citizens to accord a hearty welcome and maintain Its reputation for hospitality. ' - TVe will have a grand and magnificent Rose Show and Fiesta June 20, 11, 1907. and next year Portland will enjoy from this chrysalis a Rose Carnival complete in all ita witchery of beauty. Bear with us now when Portland la being weighed in the balance. That which we can by united effort make creditable will redound to the lasting good of your city, the "Rose City," Peerless Portland. Lend us a helping hand; give us your kindly aid. B. W. ROWB. : President Rose Show and Fiesta. holdings out for, but the other fellows were just as wise, so they have Insisted upon even money. Some few bets at odds have been placed, but the amount up to last night was less than $1000. Some few wagers were made on the majority. One man bet $100 to $25 that Devlin would not receive 2500 more votes than Lane. There has also been, perhaps, several hundred hats and perhaps half as many suits of clothes bet on the outcome. MANY CHILDREN IN PARADE PROMISED BETTER GAS Attorney Pague Discusses Proposed Economy Franchises. PORTLAND, Or.. June 1. To the Editor: There has been published in The Oregonian more or less of the Information for voters issued by a committee, headed by Thomas N. Strong, as chairman, and among this presumed "information" is a criticism of the Economy Gas Company, As the at torney for the said company I desire to say that every idea and suggestion In said report as to the company I represent Is a misrepresentation of the actual facts. The franchise asked for is as good as, or bet ter, than any ever heretofore asked of this city. Insofar as the interests of the city are guarded. A one per cent gross tax la provided for. The franchise Is for but 25 years, though Mr. Strong would have It that it Is for an Indefinite period: the latter could not be for the charter ex pressly forbids It. The franchise provides for an expenditure of more than $1,000,000. and $250,000 must be expended within three years. Five thousand dollars a year must be expended In maintenance. Mr. Strong states that amount Is ridiculously small: that ten times that amount should be spent for maintenance. His assertion Is so academic that criticism is useless. Maintenance means to keep the plant in good repair, so that if the city wishes to buy it at the end of the term. It will be in good condition. Mr. Strong objects to the manner of the city taking the gaa plant at the end of the 25 years. The manner laid down In the franchise la exactly as the city charter provides. Mr. Strong Informed me that ha objected to that provision of the charter, for at the end of a franchise the property hould belong to the city, without the pay ment of a purchase price for the property. This idea of his Is so absurd that a aane man would hardly utter it. The franchise reverts to the city, but the real and per sonal property of a company must be pur chased, otherwise there would be no street railways, gas plants, etc, constructed by Individuals. Mr. Strong's committee re port ia unfair, unjust and mischievous in its deductions. It does not give a true analvsis of the terms and provisions of the franchise. The Economy Gaa Com pany means business. It will give 75-cent gas. A better gas than Is now furnished and better service. It will build a plant and do business. The people believe in and want competition. A fair criticism is sought for by the company, but an unfair and misleading criticism Is to be ab horred. B. 8. PAGUJ3, Attorney for Economy Gas Company.
