It v. la understood that an agreement pro vided that thi santa jr snau no pun 1U line north of the .Oreon boundary and that the. Southern Paclflo shall not build Its coast line south of that boun- dary, excepting for the use of the Joint coast line the two companies a have piannea . ' vVse Kyrtle Point Soad. , From Drain to Coos bay the' South ern Paclflo has launched the plsn for a new coast line. This road will be pushed to completion under direction of Chief Engineer Hood. The Myrtle Point road purchased from the Spreckels peo ple will help to continue the line south ward. . will not continue all the way to " Myrtle Point, as Indicated on the maps, but will keep close to the ocean and follow a water grade to Smith river, where It will .probably connect with a piece of road already operating from i Smith's river to Crescent City. This road is a logging road, owned - by lumber t.lllmen who are operating on Smith's, river. They have not yet dls posed of. the line, but have offered to sell It at cost to. any Company that will build a continuous -coast line. From Crescent City south to Big la goon survey and rights of way were ac quired some years ago- by A. B. Ham mond, acting- as agent for the Southern Pacific, which own the Oregon ft Eu reka, a short road running from Big Lagoon to Areata, "The Santa Fe. en ters the game strongly at Areata. It has a road operating from that point to Eureka and southward to Pepper wood, and owns all the water frontage at Eureka, and the larger part of front age .on Humboldt bay. ... .r ,: ' mica Bedwooa Traffic. ' From Fepperwood south to Sherwood, about 0 miles. It baa made a survey and acquired adjacent thereto what are said to be the largest redwood holdings owned by any railroad company on the Pacific coast. .It has a large mill In operation, and controls the output of redwood lumber at Sherwood, the north- em terminus of the Santa Fe's Cali fornia ft Northwestern, tapping San Francisco, where the lumber is trans ferred to the Santa Fe's transcontinen tal system. . The Santa Fe by building this line north to Pepperwood r will practically control California coast business from San Francisco to Eureka, From that point north It win divide the business with the Southern Pacific ; It la said the Santa Fe directly hag set -aside 1 1 t.Gwft.e-for-carrytnsr-otrt-its-scheme along the coast, and that the Southern Paclflo has appropriated an amount suf ficient to, complete construction from Drain to the coast and. south to the California, line. "To give positive' home testimony In every locality Is of Itself unanswerable proof of merit; but when we add to this the continued endorsement from people who testified years ago no evidence can oe stronger. A Portland citlsen grate frflly acknowledges the good received from Doan's Kidney Pills, and ' when time aatested the cure we find the same hearty endorsement,' with added enthusiasm and continued praise. Cases of this kind are plentiful in th work of Doan's Kidney pills, and such a rec ord Is unique in the annals of medicine. George K. Parrlsh, musician of S72H East Oak street, Portland, Oregon, says "I Just as glndlyt endorse Doan's Kid ney Pills today as I did three years ago. Time baa proved - that file benefits found were permanent.- and' this has been very gratifying. ' Kidney complaint made Its first appearancef in my case so gradually that it was some time" be fore I .paid any attention to It. A cold settled In my back and Z began to suffer from dull, heavy pains In the loins and over the kidneys. It wag then that I was Induced to try Doan's Kidney Pills and, as stated above, was completely re lieved and not a symptom baa reap peared up to this time.". -. For sale by all dealers.

"and while work ing at the ;600-foot level In several properties I distinctly ? remember the creed on .the part of the miners that the next blast would disclose the last of "the pay ore.

Al though it was originally announced that the car line would be ready by June 1, it is now a fact that service' to the foot of the hillwill be in full force by May 15. Many people who have withheld the building of their homes, pending the completion of the car line, have announced their intention of com mencing their homes at once. " Service from the heart of the city to vRose City Park will require . oniy 15 minutes. Return- ' ing to the city this time may be reduced , . because of the de cline. The car line "will n$i along Sandy Road, the straightest and quickest route from Rose City Park. The fare will be only 5 cents."' ' , , Residents of New v .

There is' scarcely a desirable ' Suburb in Chicago that can be reached by street car in less than 30 minutes,' white mostof the higher class locations are more than anf hour's ride from down town. ' Rose. City Park is not only the most favored by nature, but by the street railroads as well It is an ideal place to live, to build, to bring up children and for every purpose connected with real home life. Del Transportation need worry nobody. ' Those who live in the far dis tant suburbs of " Port land will tell you that IS minutes downtown is a Godsend. Street cars will ' run on a schedule of 15 minutes. The first service , will be an extension of the Twenty - eighth Street line.

That.PortUnd is feeling the effects of an exhausted market Is shown In the statement made by Superintendent Donaldson of the street-cleaning de partment, who statea that only about half of the blty'o springllng' wagons can be used, owing to a scarcity of horses. Nearly all of , the livery barns find It impossible to add to their present sup ply of teams, and horse buyers have sat down discouraged over the prospects of buying at reasonable prices.
