All the Southern Faclflc's Improve mrnt projects now under way In Ore Bon will be prosecuted rigorously with the advent of more faTorable weather, declared 'William Sproule, president who arrived In Portland yesterday. In spite of the Inclement weather, work continues on the Natron-Klamath cut-off. which likely will be completed soon after the first of next year. A contract wa let recently to the rtah Construction Company for a portion of the remaining- gar and additional men were placed at work there. Plans for the entire project have been completed, but dennlte steps for actual construc tion on all of the unfinished mileage have not yet been taken. Mr- Sproule was accompanied to the city by K. E. Calvin, general manager of the Southern raclflc They are mak ing an Inspection trip of the property and expect soon to visit the Natron Klamath project, which will materially reduce the mileaice. aggregate grade and curvature of the line between Port land and San Francisco.

Ve expect to continue with the Coos Bay project aa rapidly as poa .... i . vt- en.Ait1. "The weather has not been entirely favorable In the I last few months and progress neces sarily has been somewhat slow. How ever, we have been doing fairly well on both the Natron and Cooa Bay Jobs, considering that they ara In mountain ous territory. Of Immediate Interest to the South ern Pacific engineers ts the electrifica tion of the Fourth-street line and a part of the Tamhlll division as far south as McMinnvllle. embracing ap proximately 100 miles of tracks. Mr. Calvin conferred with P. W. Campbell, general superintendent of the ltnea In Oregon and Northern California, on this subject. Plans for all the work have been completed. As soon a the necessary franchises are obtained In Hlllsbore and In Portland, actual work will be started. Frasapt Chaage Wealed. "Electrification of these local lines Is entirely In the hands of Mr. Campbell." said Mr. Sproule. "I understand he Is making considerable progress and I hop that he succeeds In completing the work without delay, as It Is Impor. tant to hav thoae lines electrified. It will mean a great deal to Portland, aa it will enable us to serve the people of this city as well as the people on the West Side to much better advantage. The conntrv around here la growing rapidly, and we have to make constant i changes to meet the Improved condi tions." Coincident with the arrival of the Southern Pacific party was that of John D. Isaacs, of Chicago, chief con sulting engineer of the Southern Pa cific and Union Pacific systems. Mr. Isaacs gives particular attention to bridges and viewed yesterday the prog ress on the new structure across the Willamette in this city that now IS rearing completion. In spite of the frequent delays on account of the In ability of the steel manufacturers to deliver steel on contract time, he learned that the bridge will be com pleted by May 1. Mr. Isaacs makes regular Inspection trips over the Harrtman territory and cornea to Portland about once a year. He Is accompanied on his present visit by Mrs. Isaacs. Mr. Sproule and Mr. Calvin con ferred with Mr. Isaacs, but declared that their simultaneous arrival her waa only a coincidence. BsuWae-ea CmdlttoM DeaJareeV Mr. Sproule Is not thoroughly enthus iastic over the present business situa tion In the United States. He accounts for the unfavorable showing made by the Union pacific and Southern Pacific In the last few months by the general conditions In the country. "Our buslneaa moves In sympathy with other lines of trade." he said. "We can't do big business so long aa conditions everywhere els are stag nant. There seems to be a misunder standing In many quarters that there Is lack of relationship somewhere between the railroads and other In dustries. The railroads are cloaer to the people and to the various Indus tries than any other single Interest. We are mere eager to see conditions Improve than anybody, as w are the first to suffer." In contemplating the future Mr. Spreole took a more hopeful view and expressed the belief that the situation, specially on the Coast, will Improve. C M. SecrteC manager of the Pa cific Fruit Express, which operates on the Harrtman lines, accompanied the railroad men t Portland. He confer red yesterday with 8. A. Herlng. man ager of the Portland office, on plana for handling the fruit shipments from the Northwest this year. MAYOR VETOES ORDINANCE Improvement of Water Street Not Don Properly, He Sajs. OREGON CITT. Or, Jan. '10. (Spe cial Mayor I'imlck baa vetoed an ordinance providing for the assessment of property for the Improvement of Water street. The Mayor declared that his veto had nothing to do with the light between htm and eight Council men regarding his appointments, but that he did not belter the street work had been properly done. This Is the first ordinance vetoed by a Mayor for several yeara. The Mayer says that the retaining wall built en the west side of the street has not a proper ' foundation, and that while the Council waa passing the ordinance providing for the assessments a large part of the wall was collapsing. For thla reason, ha asserts, do assessments should be made creating liens .upon private prop ertr. "The contractor." aay the Mayor, "naa performed the work according to the plans and specifications given him and to the satisfaction of the City Council, or his work would not have been accepted, but the defect ts solely tn the plans and specifications. - L - i-...- -j.v.-.-r r r I .; . t- , -J I.

PRIZE LOSS VEXES KITTEN When Owner Is About to Pack Ex hibit tn Basket, Tabby Gallop Away and Hides Under Store. Event Declared Success. When the second annual champion ship show of the Oregon Cat Club closed Its doors on the fifth floor of the Meier ft Frank store there was one concerted meow or relief from the 2i feline of every grade of cat so ciety assembled. For three days cat dom had been on exhibition, and as owners rathered Thursday night to pack up pets In cratea and basket the loud-toned purrs of satisfaction de noted that contentment reigned In the camp of the Oregon domesticated tiger family. Intelligence and understanding were exhibited by klttena as well aa by their parents, and there waa no more notice able Instance of this that when one black kitten, on whose head the price of S50 had been placed., learnt that It was not a prise winner. "I may as well sell It for a pet to anyone who will pay $10." the owner remarked disconsolately. And she made preparations to put the little animal In a cushlon-Uned bas ket. Adoption Net Ceerted. No sooner had It learned of Its fate than a-seratchln' and a-bltln' the little black ball of fluff made a desperate flight for freedom. Pursued by scream ing femininity, kitten made Its way to the atove department. It waa the work of half an hour to aecure the little animal who did not appreciate the pos sibility of being an adopted "chee-Hd." The success of the show was a mat ter of considerable gratification to John E- Howard, president, and Mrs. Bessie T. Howard, show secretary. It waa said to be the most successful ever held In the West. Homes were found for all the stray kittens taken to the show. Phew Dlrectara Xaiaed.

The committeemen of the First Infantry Band's military ball, were most gratified to receive today a com munication from the Portland Commer cial Club, lneloelng- a check for $20 toward their fund, with the assurance that aa far a possible the members will help out. and that those who can do so will attend the ball. The ball promises to be a unique function In many ways, and a feature of It will be the grand march. For this will be used the regimental trumpet march "Colonel McOunnegrle," written for the First Infantry by Chief Musi clan Feltrtnelll. and for this occasion four of the regiment's best trumpeters will attend.

HOOD RIVER IS OPPONENT Unions Said to Be-Against Buying Eastern Trade Link Which They Maty Form Themselves. Fight Is Expected. There Is still a possibility that the four leading; unions of apple-growers In the Pacific Northwest may combine, but It is almost certain that the mer ger will not be along; the lines origi nally proposed. The Plan as first an nounced was to bring; the Hood River, Rogue River, Wenatchee and Yakima unions together and then buy out the Northwestern Fruit Exchange. Oppo sition ha developed to this latter fea ture of the plan, and the result may be the defeat, for the coming- season, at least, of the entire proposal. There will be a meeting- of applemen at Hood River next Saturday to pass upon the subject. A committee waa In Portland recently and Investigated the operation of the Northwestern Ex change, and this committee will report to the Hood River Union at Saturday's meeting. It 1 known, however, that there is a strong sentiment in the Hood River Union against the contemplated pur chase of the exchange, and' It Is prob able the meeting Saturday will be an exciting on. The opposition to th plan is not only at Hood River, but also at Wenatchee, according to reports. It is said that grower in that section, who have been approached on the subject, have refused to give the plan their assent. The opposition to the purchasing of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange Is based on the fact, according to apple growers, that the exchange has nothing to sell that the unions themselves can not secure without cost. Its principal assets. In the opinion of these applemen. are Its trade connec tions tn the East, and these or similar connection can be obtained by the unions without the necessity of buying the capital stock of the local exchange. The Northwestern Fruit Exchange 1 capitalized at 1100. 000. It 1 not known what price th director have fixed upon for a con trolling Interest. Even if this part of th plan is dis carded. It does not follow that the pro posal to merge the "big four" Into one large selling combine will be aban doned. With a large crop promised for th coming season it will be found ad vantageous to get the various unions together on a common selling basis, so as to regulate the movement to the various Eastern markets and take ad vantage of the best gelling conditions.

After a complete revision of their figures, the banks can now definitely account for 13.062,000 In gold dust that was taken from the placers of this dis trict last Summer. Conservative esti mates place the amount carried away by Individual miners In small pokes at $160,000. The last shipment of gold to be taken out was for the Wells-Fargo and was In the care of Norton and Grif fiths. It went out over the Seward trail In the middle of December. The total value of the dust and bricks com prised in the shipment In their custody was well above a half million dollars. The business men and operators are well satisfied at the showing made for the year, and expect next season will be even a better one. In 1S11 the un famlllarity of the mine operators with the ground, and the fact that the Spring was a remarkably late one, delayed the work so greatly that sluicing was not begun until after June 1.
