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. They also are
keeping In touch with developments
on the Cooa Bav extension, work on
which now la under way JJ miles west
of Eugene.
Bad Weather Delays Warst.
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. -

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

APPLE PLAN HALTS
"Big Four" Said to Oppose
' Purchase of Exchange.
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

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

total value of the dust and bricks com

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. Next year it
will be a different story, for the miners
