For a. ahort time thia morning;
lnnkad thous-h the meeting of tho
Transcontinental Paaoenxer Aaaoclatton
which wai billed to begin at 11 o'clock
tha Darlora of tho Hotel Portland,
.'.in 1 .1 htav tn ti nnlfTtonM.
hnrirnirn wna tho cause, the effecte or
Secretary E. Bevlngton having failed to
arrive in. Portland on the same train
with himaelf. Plentiful uae of the tele
graph, however, relieved the strain and
the hooka and records reached the ho
tal a acant hour before time to call
the session.
Chairman James Charlton rapped for
order shortly after 11 o'clock, the
spacious and handsomely decorated main
parlors of the Portland being; well filled
with members of the association. The
sessions are private, none but actual
members or those deputized with au
thorltv to reDresent absent roads be
ing admitted.
Elklns Law Mala restore.
Interpretation of the Elklns law and
tli-- formulation of a basis upon Which
all roads may safely act. Is admitted
by all to be the main point of the con
vention. All other associations have
rot together In this regard and It
la the announced Intention of the Trans
continental Passenger Agents to pre
pure a common base from which all
Western roads will operate with re
gard to rate restrictions and the allow
lntf of privileges to travelers. At the
present time no two roads place the
mme interpretation on the Elklns' law
and great confusion has resulted.
Another point of great moment to
Portland anil the Northwest, which Is
to be discussed at the present session.
Is -reduced rates to the Iewls and Clark
Fair, to be held- in Portland In 1906.
flitt- reduction to the Louiala.ua Psr
chase Exposition Is also on the docket.
Prominent railroad officials say It Is
"BtlU.Jtoo early to make definite sin
nouncement of these rates, but that
representations will be listened to In or
ler that members of the association
may more readily make up their minds
in this regard at a later date.
Many Subjects.
There are more than 26 Important
luhjects docketed for discussion during
Ihe session In this city, and It Is not
considered probable that regular busi
ness can be completed before Friday
evening and a Saturday meeting may be
considered necessary.
To a reporter for The Journal, Chair
man Charlton made the following an
nouncement of program:
"ilornlng sessions will continue until
the regular hour of adjournment. 12:30
o'clock, and today will be n exception to
this rule. The session in Portland Is a
regular quarterly meeting. The associa
tion holds four meetings a year, one in
the North, one In the south, another In
the West and again In tlie East. Our
business is for the most part of a purely
routine character."
Those In Attendance.

It."
"That's nothing," said Senator Spoon

Nothing uncertain about the work of
Doan's Kidney Pills in Portland. There
is plenty of p.islm. proof of this In the
testimony of titans. Such evidence
should convince the most skeptical
dollbler. Read the iollowlng statement:
D. D. Coffey. vho-.e place of residence
Is at 488 -East 'I'l. it tot-nth street, says:
"I have been a gi-eai sufferer from car
buncles or tumors for years. Every
once in a while tin -v appeared, not only
one at a time, but broke out in different
places, mostly on m arms or about my
neck. Throe yeais ago 1 suffered from
a number of them, which broke out al
most at the same t me. I was treated
by a physician and he stated that 1
would never get entirely rid of them
unless I had them lanced and the core
taken out. He op rated on them and I
was not bothered with any more until
last fall, when mn made Its appearance.
I came to the conclusion that my blood
was out of order, and that the kidneys
were not pel I'oi mlng their functions
right, and went to the Laue-Davis Drug
Company's store ni.d ot a box of Doan's
Kidney Pills, takie.e, them as directed,
and they did all that was clnlmed for
them. On previoti occasions when one
appeared It was followed by others, but
Doan's Kidney i'lll" checked them. About
two weeks ajro one broke out on my arm
and I again resoit.-.l to Doan's Kidney
Pills, and they pi-evented others from
appearing. I can cheerfully recommend
