must show a greater business than last
year or some official heads are coming
off. During the past week local general
agents and freight men of lines not hav
lng theimermlnats in the city have been
receiving from hir eastern chiefs let
ters like the following: X'lh'-f
V "Owing to the partial failure of crops
in the middle west and In the wheat belt
of. the Dakota your territory must pro
duce greater returns than it has in the
past The denied must be balanced In
part at least by. increased business and
no only must new business that has
not before existed be stirred' up, but
that of competing lines must be secured
if possible." . .
In Portland there are general agen
cies of a dozen' big eastern lines and. in
some of these offices are half a dozen
men whose whole work Is to secure a
routing of through freight along their
line. The work of.. these agents is of
th6 keenest sort. . It is generally im
material to the Portland Jobber whether
hlsfrelght comes from Omaha to the
coast by the Union-Pacific; or the Bur
lington' and. Northern Pacific; , or the
Rock Island, the Rio Grande and the
Southern Pacific; or some other com
bination. The rate is the same and .un
less he has personal, friendships among
local agents of outside lines he does not
worry about the routing. -.
These personal friendships, counter
pulls and outside attractions have long
been.used by Portland agents to secure
their, roads a fair share of the business..
Probably in no other city In the north
west' has the freight agent of eastern
lines kept so close a watch on pros
pective shipments as in Portland. If a
carload 'of plows leave Molina tomorrow
and by chance it has escaped the notice
of Portland freight men, the car will
never get to Chicago before the wires
are. busy, Every ton of freight enter
ing or leaving the city is known to-a
dozen, of the sharpest wits of the pro
fession, and the contest for this busi
ness does not cease until it reaches Its
destination and then, in all probability,
there Is a scramble for the return ship
ment If there happens to be one.
' The competition between roads for
the Chicago-Omaha haul is the keenest
A car may Come via the Milwaukee, or
it may be sent, over the 'Wisconsin Cen
tral to St Paul, or it may come North
western, or Rock Island, or Illinois
Central,- or perhaps Great Western. Be
tween Chicago and St . Paul there are
eight lines all actually competing for
western business and the result is that
freight to Portland that originates eat
of Chicago la a ' bone of contention
among at least a dozen lines. Accord'
lng to a local general agent, who for
years has: handled trans-continental
freight business and understands the lo
cal situation, the fight the coming sea
son will be fiercer than ever before. He
said:
"Local merchants tell us that business
Is not as good as It was a year ago. I
estimate that the general mercantile
lines are handling about 25 per cent less
freight than at this time last year. On
top of this and along with an-eastern
depression that cuts into the demand for
our commodities, is the coming scarcity
of crops in the middle west and the urg
ent demand from headquarters for more
business. If we hold our own we have
got to hustle as never before, and if we
make a showlns such as will satisfv the
heads in the east, we are going to cut
some one else out of business they have
been fighting for. . Anyway you fix It
somebody in- freight circles In Portland
is going to get "hurt snd probably some
body will have a new job to hunt before
the returns are all in.
"About half of the freight for this
city comes via the St. Paul gateway.
Though the O. R. & N., as the home
road has a good pull for local business.
against It Is the Northern Paclflo and
the Great Northern snd these roads se
cure about SO per cent of the business.
The Billings gateway of the Burlington
is chiefly for southern business, as Is
the San Francisco gateway of the South
ern Pacific. 1 -
The Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Union Pacific each
have certain connecting roads to which
they prefer to give the business. East
ern lines constantly strive - to change
routings of western freight . bo that
they may secure the long haul and . in
many cases influential agents in Port
land of eastern lines determine that cer
tain shipments shall go via the North
ern Paclflo instead of the O. R. & N..
because of the longer haul secured for
their own lines. This means other com
plications and in all the season is going
to be a busy one. . But- don't think rates
will be cut That day has past"
WILL SOON BUILD
WEST SIDE LINE
"President Andrew, Grayden, of the
Oregon Traction company, is now . in
the east consulting with the . financial
backers of the Portland-Hlllsboro elec
tric road, and as soon as he returns
work will likely be started on the con
struction of the line," said Attorney J.
M. Long, who represents the new cor
poration. Notice of transfer of the franchise
from the West Side tt , Suburban Rail
way company to Andrew and Alexander
Grayden, for the Oregon Traction com-
panyvwas , filed with the city auditor
yesterday. The transfer carried with I
the payment of ItOO cash consideration
and the assumption of debts aggregat
ing, $1,000. The. matter will come be
fore the city- council at Its meeting
April S, and It is expected the transfer
of the franchise will be accepted, as as
surance is given in the papers filed that
the : Oregon .Traction company ; will
surely build the road. ':.
The projected line will run between
Portland and Hlllsboro. -Ala meeting
of the city - council three weeks ago, a
petition was read from prominent cltl-
sens of Hlllsboro, asking that 60 days' -
time be granted the new company in
which to begin construction. Council
man C. E. Rumelln, representing prop
erty owners on . Northrup.' street on
which the new road will run into the
city, - brought the matter up, as It was
desired to ascertain bow soon-the line
would be constructed, as Improvements
on that thoroughfare "were contemplated,
and properly owners wanted to be sure
they would not be interf erred with by
the new road. It was stated at that
meeting the road would be started with
in the 60 days' grace asked for. ., .

In an exchange - each member has a
.blackboard on which ' he posts his list
of property. ' Thus all the saleable prop
erty in the hands of the dealers is
plainly posted in one room with its price
and description. In this manner a pur
chaser can see in an Instant just who
Is in charge of a certain piece of prop
erty and the price asked.
Portland supported a real estate ex
change in 1897 and dealers eey they see
no reason why ' such an organization
should not1 be formed now. -The name
of the organization was the Oregon Real
Estate and Stock exchange, and it was
Incorporated fy $10,000, divided into
100 shares of $ 100 each. - Its officers
were; EUls G. Hughes, president; -T.

Bridges throughout the city are being
removed and the streets are being fllled
ln with dirt -wherever It Is possible. The
work Is being accomplished gradually
by the city engineer in carrying out a
policy- for street improvements ' which
was inaugurated last summer.
At that time there were only, a doien
bridges out of the 90 in the city that were
considered thoroughly safe for traffic.
Thirty-four have been repaired since that
time, leaving nearly half of the total
number of bridges in fairly good condi
tion. In making the repairs the city en
gineer has removed , the structures en
tirely wherever it was advisable snd
the ravines filled In with dirt. All bridges
which are in a dangerous condition have
been barricaded and traffic is forbidden.
In the engineering department the "city
allows only six men for bridge, repairs.'
The-crew Is now engaged in removing
several bridges In North Portland where
the streets are being filled-ln. Seven
similar structures have been, removed In
South Portland. The big wooden bridge
over Sullivan's gulch on First street Is to
be replaced with a steel structure, now
under contract. The list of bridges
which have been repaired during the past
year follows: -
First street between Woods snd Glbbs;
East Eighth street between Caruthers
and Clinton; Hawthorne and East Third;
roadway around burned bridge between
Front and Seventeenth; - Grand avenue
between Broadway and Schuyler; North
rup between Northern Pacific terminal
grounds and Twelfth; Belmont between
East Eighth and East Tenth; East Mor
rison between Grand and East Seventh;
East Eighth between Morrison .and
Alder; Nineteenth between Washington
and Morrison; Williams avenue and
Weldler street; East Morrison between
Union and Grand avenues; East First
and Belmont; Union avenue between
Everett .and Gllsan; ' Clinton between
Chapman and Seventeenth; East Belmont
between Water and Union avenue! Thur
man between Twenty-ninth and Thirty
first; roadway to crematory; First be
tween Sheridan and Arthur; Seventeenth
between fcverton and Pettygrove; Front
between Porter and Glbbs; East Wash
ington between East Sixth and Eighth;
Chapman between Taylor and Morrison;
Grand avenue and East Stark; East
Thirty-fourth and Powell; East Twelfth
between Stark and Oak; North Front be

Bt. Helens road; Front and Gaines; East
Morrison between -, Water and First;
Grand between East Oak and East Pine;
Belmont between Nineteenth and Twenty-
first; North Front between Nineteenth
and Twenty-first; East Water between
Washington and Oak streets.
"As fast as possible we are destroying
the old bridges snd filling In the streets,"
said the city engineer today, ,; 'Most of
the bridges were constructed in tlie city's
early d&ys and are worn out. Those that
are In dangerous condition, however,
have been blockaded and people have
been forbidden to use them." v-
Various councllmen and city officials
declare that the bridges of the city are
In better condition than for many years.
