""V StTxrY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND. APRIL 12, 190S. RAILROADS WILL RE-DPEN GATEWAY Old Arrangements for Traffic Through Portland to Be Ef fective April 16. APPROVED BY COMMISSION Traffic Director Stubba, With Help of Local Officials, Gains Consent for Move Tliat Will Great ly Benefit Oregon. The Portland gateway will be re opened April US. Although it was be lieved u naa Deen naiiea nui djt me ruling of the Interstate Commerce Com mission, arrangements have been made to pry off the bars and allow passen ger traffic to move through this chan nel as formerly. The resumption of former conditions will be realized through the efforts of Traffic Director Stubbs, of the Harriman lines, as the result of the co-operation and advice of W. W. Cotton, couneel In this ter ritory for the Harriman lines, and "William McMurray, general passenger agent for the same district. General Passenger Agent SlcMurray received word yesterday that the Iter state Commerce Commission has ap proved of tha resumption of the sale of tickets to and from Fuget Sound, via Portland. The Commission's objection and consequent ruling against tickets being sold over lines not concurring In the tariffs were directed to the method of tariff publication rather than the matter itself. Took Step as Precaution. When the objection of the Interstate Commerce Commission was brought to the attention of Traffic Director IStubbs, l that official ordered the Immediate withdrawal of the old tariffs until the 'rati road company could ascertain the exact wishes of the Commies I on. The matter has now been adjusted in line with the Commission's directions. and on and after April 16, the Harri man lines and connections will resume the sale of tickets from Pugt Sound points via Huntington aad Portland to ihe East, as heretofore. "Westbound -kets through the gateway from the East may be secured at the terminals any lme now. This reopening of the gateway, which as closed about one month, will be f'the source of great gratification to all who are interested In the growth and development of this city. The closing of the gateway, for which the Northern Pacific was blamed, diverted a great deal of travel around by the Northern ' route that would otherwise have passed through Portland, both to and from Pugt Sound. This resulted In local Injury for as fewer colonists came this way and, by the same token, tourist travel during the Summer also would ' have been much reduced. j. Will Restore Normal .Traffic. 'Now that the former conditions are restored, the normal amount of travel will pass through this gateway and Portland will not loee business that Is logically hers. It Is understood that through tickets from the Kast will not be sold, how ever, to Washington points via Port land, but exchange orders will be drawn by the Kastern offices of the Harriman system on Portland, so that the traveler for Puget Sound or other Washington destination may secure his local ticket here without extra cowt to destination. By the closed gateway rulinar. It became unlawful for the Har riman lines to absorb this local charge, making the trip through Portland more expensive to the traveler for. in addi tion to his through ticket, lie wolud be compelled to pay the local over Portland. Now that the matter has been happi ly adjusted, everyone concerned will be very well satisfied, with the pos etble exception of the Hill lines, which would prolU materially if the gateway remained closed.

So common is the use of coffee as a heveratrc, many do not know that it is the cause of many obscure ails which are often attributed to other things. The oasit-st way to find -out for oneself is to quit the coffee for a while, at least, and not results. A Virginia lady found out in this way. and also learned jot a new bevcrase that is wholesome as well as pleasant to drink. 4I am 40 years old" and' all my life, up to a year and a half ago. I had Veen a coffee drinker. About ten . years ago I had dyspepsia so bad that often the coffee I drank would sour on my stomach and I could not retain it. "Severe headaches and heart weak ness made- me feel sometimes as though I were about to die. After drinking a cup or two of hot coffee, not knowing it was harmful, my heart would go like a clock without a pendulum. At other times It would almost stop and I was so nervous I did not like to be alone. "If I took a walk for exercise, as soon as I was out of sight of the house I'd feel as if I was sinking and this would frighten me terribly. My limbs would utterly refuse to support me, and the pity of it all was. I did not know that coffee was causing the trouble. "Reading in the papers that many per sons were relieved of such ailments by leaving off coffee and drinking Postum, 1 got my husband to bring home a pack x.BM, We made it according to directions and I liked the first cup. Its rich snappy ( flavor was delicious. 'I have been using Postum about eighteen months and to my great joy, digestion is good, my nerves and heart are all right. In fact, I am a well woman once more, thanks to Postum." "There a Reason." Narao given by ' Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich.
