BETTER SERVICE GIVES LARGER DIVIDENDS M rk - a. I J I Omaha Increased Earnings Over Five Million Dollars. During the past year there has been an Immense Increase of facilities for handling transportation business over the lines of the Oregon Railroad St Navi gation company, the Oregon Short line, mod the Union Pacific, between Portland and Omaha. These lines have added to their equipment 12 locomotives and 1.000 freight cars, and have nearly as many more freight cars ordered and to be delivered between this date and the opening of the season of 1906. In ad dition to this the system has paid a dividend of It per cent on its common stock, set aside over IS.50ft.ooo for bet terments, and lent something like tl(.0,000 to the Southern Pacific Railroad men regard the rehabilita tion .of Union Pacific to Its present con dition of extraordinary prosperity as one of the most brilliant achievements In the railway world. Lees than eight years ago the Union Pacific system waa ridiculed as "two streaks of rust across the desert." Todsy It Is one of the strongest railroads In the country. . During the last year It completed 171 miles of new road, but the total mileage operated decreased 410 miles, due to the sale to the Sim Pedro, boa Angeles A Salt Lake road of certain lines that would naturally have become a part f that system. The Hsrrlman people got about (7,000.000 for these lines. In turn they took a half interest In the San Pedro system. The entire property turned over by Harrlman to the new road consisted of si 2 miles, 17 locomotives, IS passenger ears and 201 freight ears. The lines between Portlsnd and Omaha have in the last 12 months increased their earnings by II. 000.000 In passenger and 14.000,000 In freight businees, ovsr the preceding year. Extensive track Im provements, reduction of grades, snd building of new bridges have been car ried on and are now being prosecuted along the O. R eV N. lines In Oregon. The results already enjoyed from these Improvements are shown in an Increased average tralnload of 4S1 tons this year, as compared with 411 tons last year and tit tons In 111. : The enormous expenditures for better ments and ths vigorous growth follow ing them have decreased transporta tion and general expense to about M per sent of the gross earnings. Not a little of this decrease of general expense has has been brought about by the consolida tion of the Southern Pacific and O Ft A It. systems in Oregon for all practical operation purposes. The Harrlman sys tem is now pushing Its credit to the Utmost in raising money for overhauling the 8outhesn Pacific. Important changes In the standard of operation of that system may be expected in the next year r two if the present policy is continued Without Interruption. Harrlman has been fortunate In se curing some of the ablest and clearest headed railroad managers In the country. Whom be hes placed In control of the actual operation of the various lines comprising the Harrlman system. CIGARETTE UNPOPULAR WITH MANY CHILDREN With an enrollment approximating Yooo. the work of the' Anti-Cigarette league In the public school of Portland Was closed yesterday for Thanksgiving, and will be resumed on the reassembling af the schools next week Ths results are most cheering," said Mr. Stfuble today. "A great degree of enthusiasm Is manifest among the young Cple. and undoubtedly the campaign s resulted In the depopulsiislng of the Otgarette to a very great extent, both among youth and adults. The cigarette Is simply held up to the popular gate III Its true light, namely, as the rhtrf Instrument for ths destruction of boy bond. The result is that thousands of the boys and girls become Intelligent entniisiast ic opponents m thing. rortisno young peopie. a4 Mr at ruble, "are keenly alert to the points presented in the school fiislaiss and display a spirit or moral gaBltaaey splestdld in Us prophetic wrora lee I expect much from these wwathful warriors la this great battle against the cigarette In sur nation." Portland's Exports Said to Be Falling Off Because of Ex cessive Charges. REGULAR LINERS WILL MAKE NO REDUCTION Only Solution to the Problem Is the Chartering of Tramp Steamers. The steamships Numsntla and Ellerlc are expected to reach the mouth of the river in a day or two from the orient. 8o far as known by the local officials of the Portland dr Asiatic company they will load at Portland for the return trip. It was stated this morning, how ever, thst the Ellerlc may possibly com plete her cargo at San Francisco, al though as yet nothing of a definite na ture is known about It. The Importers In the far east are not making the Inquiries for flour and other products that they ware a short time ago. It Is understood that ths principal reason for the apparent de pression is because they are reluctant to pay the price demanded by the Pacific coast exporters. If the latter were In a position to get cheaper freight rates they declare that they could get all the 'business thst it would be possible for them to handle. The regular rate on all of the liners plying out of Pacific coast ports is IB a ton' on flour and wheat, and If they could 'get a 14 rate the exporters believe that commerce with Jspan and China would again assume Its former proportions. But it Is not thought that any of ths operators of the regular freighters can be- induced to lower the tariff, and the only solution to the problem now seems to be to charter tramp steamers. Although the firm directly interested denies the report, other shippers who ought to be In a position to know state that Balfour. Outhrie St Co. have char tered the British steamship Ellsmy to load flour and barley at Portland for Japan at 14 a ton. Ths steamer sailed from Msnlla for the Columbia river two weeks ago. She Is a small carrier, but will probably be able to take care of 1,000 tons. T. M. Stevens of the firm of T. M Stevens St Co. says that other tramp steamers are being offered at a rate leas than 14 a ton. and the general Im pression appears to be thst plenty of tonnage outside of the regular liners will soon be engaged to carry whatever shipments are being offered at this port. READY FOR BOAT RACE. Sailors Will Celebrate Thanksgiving Some money will probably change hands on the boat race which la to be pulled off In ths harbor this afternoon. Several of the sea captains are taking a deep Interest In the affair, and are offering to heck their favorite craft with substantial wagers. Captain Biir chell. master of the British ship Owee nee. offering to bet from 120 to 1100 that the boat manned by the crew of the Olaucus will win the contest. In order to provlds some diversion out of ths ordinary for Thanksgiving ths race was arranged by the manage ment of the Seamen's institute. All of the small boats from the various ships now In the harbor will probably bo en tered In the contest. Each Is supposed to be manned by the crow belonging to ths ship from which the boat Is pro cured. The race will be from the Port land flouring mills to the steel bridge, about one mile. Several of the crews were out practicing for the fray all day yesterday. The British ship Hampton's boat cov ered the distance yesterday afternoon In lost 11H minutes, and is one of the favorites on which s number of bets have already been placed. As ths men were pulling against the current. It Is said that they made a Very fine allow ing. Harbormaster Ben Blglln and Captain Chrystal. mastsr of the Olaucus. have bean appointed Judges. The contestants will be started by Captain J. A. Ander son. The race will start promptly at I o'clock, and the following ships will probably be represented In It: The Ruthwell, Olaucus, Dumfriesshire, No rn la, Anna, a Celesta. Falrport. Jules Oommes. Europe. Oweenee Dtinreggan, Durbrtdge, Hampton, barkentlne Vir ginia and a number of schooners. OBJECT TO FLOATING PILES. Quantities Of Drift Wood to Sown the River aad Menace Shipping. United States Engineer Fries snd Harbormaster Ben Blglln instructed the Pacific Construction compsny yesterday afternoon not to permit any more of the old piling which is being removed from the draw rest of the Morrison street bridge to float down the river The company promised to comply with the request. It is the Intention to place all of the old timbers in the form of a raft, and sell them for firewood. The complaint was lodged at the so licitation of ths ship captains now In port. They claimed that the logs drifted down the harbor and many of them found lodgment against their vessels. It was feared tbat a big accumulation of the stuff around the ships would cause some damage to them. For the past week there has been considerable drift going down stream from the bridge. WILL LEAVE IN BALLAST. Many Ships Unable to Owl cargoes Mere Hay Oo UgM to Australia. It Is said the British ahlp Falrport will soon lesve Portland in ballast for Australia, where her owners will en deavor to secure for her a grain cargo to carry to the United Kingdom. Many other ahlps will leave in ballast for for eign ports before long If the owners do not reealve sssurances that they can get csrgoes here. Hardly a week has passed this month tbat several ships have not sailed from San Francisco in ballast for Australia Many of the vessels had been lying hare for more than a year. Winter Rates to Y equina Bay. , The Southern Pacific Co. will sell, on Wednesday and Saturdays of each week, until March II, 101, low rate round trip tickets to Taqulna. limited to days from date of sals. The sale of theae excursion tickets during the winter months Is a new departure and has bean brought about through the desire of our local sportsmen to enjoy the exceptional ty fine hunting and fishing privilege of thst section. Allen Sl Lewis' Best Brsnd. Man Found Looting Store at Rockwood Had Served Time at Buffalo. ARRESTED HERE BUT WAS RELEASED BY CHIEF HUNT Had Revolvers and Outfit of Burglar's Tools, and Tried to Shoot Captor. In the person of Leo Harent. alias Leon Herant, captured by cltliens while robbing the store of A. H. Bell at Rock wood Tuesday night, the police believe thev have a man who would sooner or later have caused them a great deal of trouble. Ths capture was made by J. Sharlng housen, road master for the district; K. Sharlnghoiisen. Jr.. 1L Quisenberpr, W. Leo Harent. Or I ms haw. W. H. Herring, Loss Love lace, J. Sigabee and Leal if Bell. When Herant was searched three revolvers. two of 38-uttllbre and one of JJ-caJlbre, were found on him. He also carried nine extra cartridges In his pockets. Herant waa arrested by Detective Vaughn Oct. 29. while crawling from under a Portland-Chicago overland train on the eaat aide. At that time he car ried a heavy 41-callbre revolver in his belt. He made an attempt to draw It. but was promptly covered by Vaughn, handcuffed and taken to police head quarters. Chief Hunt did not believe the man was particularly dangerous, and ordered him to leave town at once. That Herant did not leave town, or If he did, returned, and was caught com mitting burglary has now convinced the authorities that the publio will be safer when he Is behind the bars. It has been learned that he served time at Buffalo. N. T.. and In other eastern prisons. The police assart that when arrested In October lie confessed to being a box-car thief. When be waa searched at the police station after hla arrest by Detective Vaughn a box of small files, of the kind used for sawing through steel bars, and a small sll -steel hammer, making a perfect "jimmy," were found on him. The character of the man Is shown by a remark he made when bound and bundled Into the wagon at Rockwood, to bo brought to town. 'Wall, air. Robber, I'll give you a lift on ths way to th penitentiary," said Herring, as he assisted him Into the wagon. "Oh, that's all right," lightly answered Herant. "You've got me 'dead to rights,' but I won't get mors than two years for this." LAST OF JAPAN'S SECOND RESERVE HAS GONE ' The steamship Empress of China, which Balls from Vancouver, B. C, next Monday; will carry 20 Japanese youths who left Portland today bound for the orient They are members of the sec ond reserve of the Japanese army that was ordered out two months ago.

FEW AMERICANS EVER SEE OUR BEST FRUIT About Seven Hundred Carloads of Apples Were Shipped Abroad This Year. "The American people do not eat the finest apples In the world," said a A. Herlng, Portland manager of ths Ar mour refrigerator line, known as the Fruit Growers' express. Hs was talking of Oregon apples and the markets to which they are destined when they are loaded on the cats at Medford, Hood Rlvfcr. Ashland, Central Point and other pluces where horticulture Is making a world's reputation for this state. The particular variety to which he referred la the Newtown Pippin. "Ninety per oent of these applea are ahipped abroad and cater to the palates of the people of other countries." said Mr, Herlng. "The bulk of them go to London. Only 10 per cent of the Ore gon Newtowns remain In the United States.' ' This being true, and the total apple exports from Oregon this year being about 700 cars. It la not likely that many Americans discover the excellence of the Oregon Newtown by actually eat ing them. It has been said that the Armour line controls the shipments of fruit In this country. The Fruit Grow ers' express handles nearly all the fruit sent out of Oregon, but the Northern Pacific and the Oregon Railroad St Nav igation lines have a few of their own oars for this purpose. Mr. Hsrlng estimates that the total export of green fruits of Oregon this year will be about 1.400 cars. Nearly 1,000 cars have already gone and there are nearly 400 cars yet to move. About half of this output Is applea and the Mha, half is nn. . nrunes and a small amount of other fruits. Mr. Herlng Is of the opinion that a gooa marxei lor .r,mu couM lit.

"There Is no gainsaying tne imci umi the Oregon Newtown Is not excelled by any appro grown in tne worm. SHEEP AND HOGS PROVE TO BE CLEVER ACTORS Scientific theories are knocked Into a cocked hat at the Grand, formerly Cor dray's. theatre this week by Professor Musllner and his trained sheep and hogs. it was thought that sheep had less brslns than any creature of the animal kingdom, and to train a hog was deemed impossible. But Musllner has disproved all this, for he haa so trained a flock of sheep and two ugly hogs that with out hesitation they obey his spoken com mand, awaiting tneir cues like raw lire actors and playlr their parts with skill snd precision. All this haa bean accomplished by sn infinite amount of study and patience, and the result Is not only a unlqus form of amusement, but a valuable contribution to acience. Musllner ss a boy devoted his spare time to training doga, and meeting with success In this, hs began upon a sheep. After months of hard work, he got ths animal under his control. Then he col lected a. small flock which ha trained, and added two hogs, one of which proved to be a genuine clown. Musllner's method lsl quite different from that of the ordinary animal "rValner. He deals with the dumb brutes through kindness, rather than by force, and yet ha haa made them understand that he is the master. The most wonderful thing hs has taught his band, perhaps, is the scene wherein they pray for not attending Sunday school. Although he talks while they are kneeling, not one of the animals will get up until the word "Amen" Is spoken. MANY RAILROADS BUY LOCOMOTIVES AND CARS The numerous eastern railroads doing extenslvs business if Portland territory and represented here by strong agencies are making preparations for Increased business next year. The Chicago, Mil waukee St Bt. Paul has ordered a large' number of new locomotives and passen ger and freight cars for delivery this winter. The Northern PeoWo is In the market for 1,000 gondola cars of 100,000 pounds capacity, equipped with Improved quick action airbrakes, Caswell drop-bottom ears and Miner draft rigging. The Chicago, Rock Island St Pacific haa ordered 1.100 refrigerator cars, three postal cars, 1,000 box cars, and 100 furniture cars. The Burlington haa ordered 1,000 new box cars and 10 combination coacbea. The Lake Shore St Michigan has or dered 1,000 Steel gondolas of 100,000 pounds capacity. EDWARD SHIELDS IS ADVERTISING COAST Edward Shields, formerly manager and proprietor of Shields' park, on Washing ton street, who went oast with a picture machine soma weeks prior to election, under contract with the national Repub lican committee, to assist In the cam paign with a series of illustrated lec tures, has taken an engagement with the Chicago Dally Nsws as one of Ita free lecture entertainers. "The country from the olty of Wash ington to the stats of Washington was embraced plctorially In the lecture of Kdward Shields, delivered In the ball of the Chicago Commons last night" says ths News. "Ths Columbia river, the Cascade mountains.

GENERAL LAND OFFICE REVERSES DECISIONS Mrs. Sala Is Allowed the Forty Acres on Which She Haa Been Living. ("peclal Dispatch to The Journal.) Harrison. Ida., Nov. 14. Homes and business property to the value of 1100,000 are said to be Involved aa a result of a ruling by the general land office at Washington. D. C. In the case of John A-. Dirks against A A. Crane, showing SO residents of Harrison aa having their homes built on government land. i Notice from the lad oflco at Coeur d'Alene has been received telling of ths reversal by the general land office of two decisions rendered by the register and the receiver at the Coeur d'Alene land office about a year ago. One of the cases was that of John L. Dirks sgainat Addison A Crane, contesting Crsne's homestead entry adjoining the Harrison townsite on the northwest. The other wss the esse of Katena Bala, widow, against Adlson A. Crene, involv ing 40 acres of land claimed by both homestesd claimants. The 'commissioner, in his order to the Coeur d'Alene office, ordered Crane's homestead entry to be canceled in the Dirks case and in the Sala case he gives the 40 acres of land to Mrs. Sala. Ths decision la the Dirks cose Is of unusual Interest from the fact that about 60 dwellings have been erected by purchasers snd lessees on the land Crane claimed as his homestead. The houses on this piece of land. are sup posed to be the best In the town of Harrison. Some of. the homes on the land which the government has recalled are worth from 15,000 to 16.000. Crane has been (Charging wharfage for, the right to land water craft on the lake In front of the townsite by repre senting to the citizen that his property turned and reached in front of the town where the boats landed. The Bala caae is one of a peculiarly pathetic nature. Mr. and' Mrs. Sala came hefe from Austria, their native land. several years, ago and' by hard work were endeavoring to educate their daugh ter. She graduated from the local high schpol in 1817 and the father then de termined that she should have a college education, and he started to Buffalo Hump to work In the mines. Since then he has never been heard ' of and it Is thought that he waa murdered. Mrs. Sala has worked like a slave carrying water a ereat distaste and raisins straw berries for market, earning enough to build her family a little house, the lum ber for which she csrrled on her back from the mill. Two years ago she went to file en her land, to which her hus band had purchaaed a squatter's right, and It was then discovered that the land wss claimed ,by Crans. who la prominent in legal and political circles here. JOE D0CKMAN FAR FROM BEING A SPELLBINDER Joe Dockman is a Slavonian with an impediment in his speech. He doesn't spesk Kngllsh very well, and his lack of proficiency In the language and the Impediment formed a combination that had Police Judge ! rogue almost f rant lc.

Ktrkpatrlck asserts that the story told the police recently by C W. Rarrett, In which he waa accused of holding 120 belonging to the complain ant. Is untrue In whole and detail. In explanation Ktrkpatrlck asserts that the boathouse sold did not belong to Bar rett, but to another man, and that ha executed the bill of sale and took the money for safe keeping until the re turn of the owner to this city.
