REID ASKS ONLY A FAIR SHOW ON BRIDGE Oregon Seacoast Railway Willing . to Let Harriman Have Oswego Charter. OTHER COMPANIES TO PAY TOLL FOR USE Secretary of Company Backed ' by English Capital Files Affidavit That He Will Consent to With- . drawal of Original Bill. 'J. An acute contention has arisen be tween the Southern Paclfio company ad the Oregon Seacost Railway com pany as to the nature of a franchise to be framed by the Oregon legislature for a bridge over the Willamette river at Oswego. The Southern Paclfio desires an ex elusive bridge for the use of the South ro Pacific and its affiliated lines. The . Keacoast Railway company asks that ' the charter provide for a common user bridge. . . .r - , ' - William Reld, secretary and director of the Seacoast Railway company, at first submitted to the legislature a re quest for a charter for his company. To avoid a clash wtththe Southern Pacific he withdrew It, and drew a compromise bill for a charter granting' the bridge privilege to the Southern Paclfio com pany, but providing that all other rail way companies might use the bridge by paying a reasonable toll. - Agenta of the Southern Paclfio com pany . at Salem questioned kt. Hold's motives and made assertions to the ef fect that tne Oregon 3eacoast Railway company had no Intention nor was In a position to build the bridge and the rail way announced In its prospectus. Mr. Reld now comes forward with an affi davit, as follows: - "State of Oregon, county of Multno mah, as: I, William Reld, secretary, Portland, Oregon Seacoast Railway company, being duly sworn, do depose and aay to the best of nr knowledge and belief:. . ' "First: That said company la a law ful existing railway corporation with a charter from the atate of Oregon, en titling It to build certain railroads there in name, that it has paid to state treas urer all " taxes, fees and licensee re quired by the state for years 1905 and 106, aggregating over tiZO per receipts hereto annexed, and has a majority of ita directors residing In Oregon, its sup ervising and consulting engineer, H. Hawgood. residing ha Los Angelea, Cali fornia, with William Reld, secretary and attorney here. . "Second: That last year, 1106. said company made an offer to construct for others, -1H miles new railways; and act ing rnder a power of attorney from its directors, it has made arrangements for building a portion of Its system within western Oregon provided certain con ditions, and Inter alia, a bridge fran chise from Oregon legislature, were given. , . ' "Third: That accordingly by senate bill nunrllir.-ft asked the. legislature to ' give alT railways " equal rights in common with itself, to run their trains, locomotives and oara Over a bridge' it proposed to build near Oswego to enter East Portland; that Immediately there after (and not sooner) Southern Paolfio company asked the sameoridge fran chise at same place by Ita senate bill number tt. exclusively. ' ""Fourth: ' That aa the legislature can not be expected to grant two separate bridge charters over the same precise site of bridge crossing, especially aa the bridge site our company selected Is the only, level and narrowest crossing lor railways aouth and west thereof, to en ter city of Portland, other than -those now possessed by the Hill and HarcT man lines the Portland Oregon Sea' coast Railway company asked the legis lature to consolidate Its own bill, senate bill (7, and the Southern Paclfio. com pany's bill 17, and substitute for both senate bill 179, an aa to give Southern Paclfio company this - Oswego bridge franchise exclusively for that company, provided only that all railway, com panies' trains, etc., go over that bridge at rates 'and regulations the. Southern Pacific prescribe, with, however, the right of appeal as to the ratea of toll and regulations to a state commission, composed of governor, . secretary and state treasurer, to tlx same, and after two 'years. If disagreement continues. then to the Interstate commission, to avoid appeal to the law courts, which Southern Pacific demands. Involving (as the latter would) curtailment of trafflt lor three years, or while 1 under the courts.' ' "r these reasons your jotntrallroad eonrrr.ittees It Is hoped may adopt senate bill 179, or amend- It, aa to you and leg islature shall seem proper, . -WILLIAM REID, Secretary.' . "Subscribed and sworn to this eighth day of February, 190T. before me. "JOHN T. WHALLET. "Notary Public for Oregon.'' The backers of the Oregon Seacoast RaTtwsyc6WpaKyf" TSnfelislTTSapTtaK lata, who a year age completed arrange ments with the Atlas Contracting Supply company for construction of the Tillamook road from Hillsboro via the Wllsen river route. After 10 miles were graded the contracting company was bankrupted,- It la charged, through ma chination ' of Southern Paclfio people, and the road was "ditched." This is the road that was aold out by H. L. plttock and others to interests al leged to be backed by Harriman money, and now being constructed In the name of the Paclfto Railway and Navigatlor company. The English capitalists now propose to build a road by another route to the coast, and propose to cross, the Willamette river at Oswego. ROGUE RIVER VALLEY FINE ,: fBUiiin.iom..

Hop kins waa agreeably surprised today to receive a cable measage from Dennis A Son-of Covent Garden. London, England, to the effect that his first carload of yellow Newtown apples, consisting of 460 boxes of the four-tier slse and ISO boxes of smaller, had sold for a figure which. pets him $2.98 per box of 60 pounds f. o. b. at his station. Central Point "As he still haa better oars of fruit In cold storage at New Tork awaiting' the best condition of the Lon don market, and aa it is "coming right," to his certain knowedgeThe expects to have some figures to report soon of which he will be proud. - Five other csra" reported by ' other shippers in the valley during the past 10 days show better than $2 per box k net to the grower, but Mr. Hopkins' car I la the best so far reported. . . .AS mucn or ine crop in int vaiiey was sold to transient buyers there will be no means of knowing what flgur they realised In the London market. but each year sees more and more of the growers here getting in touch witn the foreign markets and they are mak ing a good thing of It, The great acre age of Newtown pippins which will coma Into bearing here within the next three years win nave a tendency to make this valley the leading factor In the London -Newtown trade. No other section Is .In tt for a moment1 'with the Rogue River valley, when It cornea to fine Newtowns In quantity. There Is not much of an inclination to make a roar over It every time -the grower here has a pocketful of, fine fruit, but all the same the valley Is getting to the throt tle of the situation when It comes, to high prices. ; , . , FATALITIES DUE TO' , WINTER BREAKING UP .98c MEN'S $1.50'SHIRTS - ARE r MEN'S $1.00 SHIRTS 3 T.

The theft was witheesed by City Hall Policemen John Qulnton and Matt Murphy. The two officers were standing in the office of the city treasurer when they saw the do aapproach the egg stand. when within reach of his booty the dog . gave a stealthy glanoe along the line. No one was In sight except the policemen ana they vara TSehlnd "plate glass windows. The dog saluted them and then grabbed aa - egg from the stand. The officers threw open a win dow and remonstrated against the vio lation of the criminal oode, but all the dog did -was to stop, break the egg and eat It. ' - - Threats of punlshmenfwlth a club for the overt act caused the dog to scamper away.- Bat he returned an hour-or so later on a search for mora eggs. Policeman Qulnton says that to his personal knowledge the dog has stolen five eggs from the same grocery store within -a" week; One day Qulnton de cided that It was about Urns to put an and to the pllferlngs and be hired a small boy to capture tha dog. The canine waa taken Into custody, but the officer had to release It because It wore a license that gave It the privilege to disturb and to steal. Policeman- Murphy- says he saw-the dog steal two eggs and carry them down the street 10 feet and eat them and throw the shells away. The dog. Mr. Murphy says, has a peculiar way Of -biting through the shell of the egg and sucking out the yolk and then break ing the shell, A number of employes at tha olty hall say they have witnessed the performance, and broken shells have been found where the dog mads his meal ' N ECESSARY TO AMPUTATE PART OF DRAW OF MADISON BRIDGE A force of bridge carpenters will be put to work this morning to release th draw of the Madlnon street bridge which stuck tight Thursday afternoon when the Portland Rowing olub's boat house collided with the structure after having been , torn from Its moorings near the foot of. Rosa island. The tim bers will probably have to be sawed off at one end of tha draw, but It Is be lieved that the work can be completed In time to have the draw In good work ing order tomorrow morning. . It seems that the Jar from the collis ion with 4he boathouse shoved tha en tire east portion of the bridge gam at the draw which was closed St the time. The boathouse struck the bridge with such force that the rail was torn away Tor a distance of about 71 feet and sev eral of the large stringers were spilt In twain from, top to bottom. Heavy Iron braces were bent out of shape like so much wire. bridge Is opea to traffic to the fmuchv v The1 general public is not suffering, but mariners ars complaining becauae It Is impoasiDis to get vessels to or from the upper harbor. Tha steam schooner Northland has been lying idle for II hours st the Supple, wharf waiting for the draw to open, and above the bridge are a number of lumber droghers ready to start for .the sea. The river la now falling quits rapidly and a stage of II feet is expected to morrow. . The current Is gradually spending Its force and In another day or two iiavlgatlon will ba resumed on all lines.
