""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.

DIDN'T KNOW
rbat Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.
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."
