HARRIfflAN'S AGENTS TRY n TO COMPROMISE NOW A WA I T ANSWER ,V Attempt Being: Made in East to Settle Wrecking of the Settlement of Mileage Kate Question May Be Reached Shortly Now.- Portland, ehalem & Tillamook Itailroad After Near ly Ten Miles of Eoad Had Been Graded. Men's and Boys' Clothing . ;v'' 'I" S. '." ).-: ",. j ti'. f. l! i - The wrecking of the Portland, Ne- halen A Tillamook railroad by Portland mnti of E. H. Harriman, after nerly ttn mile of the road had been graded by the Atla Conatructlon company, haa become a aubject or aiiempwxi wm promlie between Harrlman'a Naw Tork agent and M. Meivm waiaer. rw . cently flld a suit against Harriman In New York on behalf of the London financiers concerned In the financing or th proposed road. It is alleged that conatructlon of tht road was stopped by refusal of the pres Ident of the company to sign and deliver the bond to the contractor, and the contracting company wn dlaoanded and given Urge and profitable contract on Harriman railroad conatructlon work ' elsewhere. ' arrlmaa'g Xaad .. The Tillamook railway project subse- nuently taken up by Y. K. Lytla, haa alwaya been regarded aa a Harriman praiect In disguise, and recent appear and of Oregon SWort Una care In con atruetlon aervlce between Hlllaboro and th coat range, have In a meaaur con firmed that Impression In the publlo , rolnd. t4i. ....! It haa been eiaira oy r. nyw ini neither Harriman nor the Southern Pa elflo baa an tntereat in or control or the atock of the Tillamook road now be Ing built by him. but that since the money waa furnlahed through the Union Truat company of San Franclaco, th bond may be In posaesalon of anyone who daalrea them aa an lnveatment It follows that so long aa intereat la paid on the bond and the stock remain in possession of Mr. Lytl the road can b controlled by him. His relations to the Harriman roada, however, have bean close for many year. Ha waa formerly In employ of the O. R. N. aa station agent at The Dalle, and waa later one of th builders of the Col umbia Southern, which waa partlv fi nanced and ultimately purchased by Harriman. At the present tlm the Oregon laws differ from those days in regard to rail road traffic arrangements between con ' netting lines. It is not necessary for a feeder line built by Independent cabltal to depend wholly upon the whim of the ' main Una management for Its existence and operation. The law provide that a main line may be compelled to give reasonable traffic connections and rates. On this point William Reld. promoter of the Tillamook road, that waa wrecked by Harriman agents, ha aent the fol lowing reply to a newspaper statement credited to Mr. Lytic: "In th Oregon tan of July tt, the fol lowing statement appears: "Regarding the connection between the Southern Paclflo and Paotflo Rail way A Navigation company at Hllla boro, It Is a well known faot that ar rangements for a connection were start ed by the orriclala of the Portland, N halem A Tillamook railway. "Pardon me for saying this statement Is absolutely Incorrect. The Killings- worm law took erreoc beginning June, 1906. and we commenced construction in July. Under that law the Southern Pacific waa then compelled, nolena volenn, to allow us to connect with their line at Hlllsboro. or we could force It. Consequently, neither my exe cutive committee nor I ever asked traf fic connections at Hillnboro. Indeed, It was the feet that we didn't aak same. and that Kdward Records, president of Atlas Construction company, very fool ishly wrote a letter now in my posses sion savin his company would build an exclusive connection with the North ern Pacific alone, that cauied all the trouble and stoppage of work. About that time Mr. Harriman passed through Portland on hi way to japan, and a few day therenfter. when Mr. Records demanded hla $600,000 bonda for full MATTER DISCUSSED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS William McMurrajr, Who Haa Been In Chicago Several Weeks With Head of Traffic Department of the Harriman Roads, Due Here Soon, payment or the 20 mile or graded road, there bond were, .unsigned and delivery refused. "It la strange that whenever an inde pendent line Is atarted It is credited as a Hill or a Harriman line. Whether K. E. Lytle la building hla line for the Southern Paclflc'a benefit or not ia nobody's business. He got our grade from the director, and I admire his pluck In alnce puahlng the work ahead. The publlo might as well say, aa they do now at Astoria, that the Portland Oregon Seacoast railway must be a Northern Pacific line, but I solemnly aasure you It la not, and no correspond ence has been had with It or with the Harriman lines either. Since the Kll llngsworth law took effect, and the Oregon railroad commission was cre ated, compulsory traffic and other con nections can easily be, with joint rates, obtained from all railroad companies in Oregon, by either the Pacific Rail way & Navigation company, controlled by Mr. Lytle, or the Portland-Oregon Seacoast Railway company's line, owned In London and Los Angeles, or by any other independent line which is build ing or may build in good faith. In Oregon the daya of monopoly of railway building are gone, and free trade in railway Is the rule, so long aa the Oregon and Interstate commerce commissions and the Kllllngsworth law are In existence. MULE BORN ON FREIGHT TRAIN AFTER MARE IS KILLED BY ENGINE On a ranch near Troutdale there la a mule colt that was actually born on a rapidly moving freight engine. Though born under such peculiar circumstances the young mule is thriving aa few young mules do and has every prospect of leading a long and useful life. Dr. W. C. Bolt of Troutdale vouches i- for the story of the mule's birth. He and other residents of Troutdale were eye-witnesses. Near that town the firm of Campbell eV Swigert, formerly connected with the City BuDuroan railway or roriiana. own a large biock lirm. un uw iarm there are a rfumber of valuable mares and Imported Jacks.

Why not keep that smile on baby a face If you keep this medicine on hand, you will never sea anything else -but smiles on hla face. Mrs. S ., Black well.

Settlement of the mileage rate Ques tion that traveling men have had up with th Oregon railway commission and the Harriman lino la expected to be reached within a few weeks. Wil liam McMurray. who has been in Chi cago several weeks discussing matters with th head of the trafflo department of th Harriman roada, Is due to reach horn early next week, and further ac tion on the mlleag rat question will then be taken. It is desired by traveling men that mileage be sold good for use on all th roada, and that mileage preaented on Oregon Short Line trains be good for checking baggage to points on the U. R. & N.. or vice versa The transcontinental railroads have been alow to grant any concession In the matter of Interchangeable mlleag tickets, while roads In the. middle weat have taken action In response to re quests from mercantile organisation The first of July the middle west roads agreed to continue sal of interchange' able ml lease. ' : Heretofore Interchangeable tickets have been sold at the rate of $60 for 2.000 miles, but a rebate of $9.60 waa paid to the original purchaser If th ticket were used exclusively by him according to the rulea. Attorneys of the western lines, from Chicago to Den ver, were unanimously of the opinion that it would be illegal under the Inter state commerce law to sell an Inter changeable ticket at a higher rate than 2 cents a mile in any state where that Is the maximum fare allowed by law. Accordingly, passenger Officials de cided that It would be necessary to re duce the price of the 2,000-mile tickdt to $40. - The abolition of the refund feature makes It unnecessary to main tain the mileage bureau of the Western Passenger association, which now has about 16 employee. The Central Passenger assocfatlon, with Jurisdiction north of the Ohio river from Chicago and St. Lou la to Buffalo, has decided to continue to sell its interchangeable mileage tlcketa at a rate of $26 for 1,000 miles and pay a refund of It to the purchaser If th ticket is used exclusively by him for interstate .trips. States that now hav a 2-cent fare law are as follows: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota. Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, Pennsyl vania and West Virginia. States hav ing 2H-cent fare are North Dakota and Wisconsin. In New Toi'k, where travel is the heaviest per mil radius, '.he general rat i still 1 cents, but Is practically 1 cents in effect between New York and Buffalo and many other points within the state.

The Beef Trust haa Its representa tive on the Port of Portland Commis sion a man who will flfht, insult and browbeat If necessary . to uphold the Trust's Interests. Through this man's Influence the Port of Portland's bids require that all meats must be g-uar anteed L. S. Government Inspected.' The Beef Trust, therefore, controls th contract The bid, however, Is always let. as a sort of reward of merit, to one particular market tnat is a cooa cu tomer of th Trust's at an outrageous Drlce. Time and again Smith ha of fered the Commission better, cheaper and cleaner meats. The market that gets the contract makes Its own lard, sausages and corned beef, and no Government. In- BDector In the wide world would guar antee the meat after this second-hand treatment. But the Beef Trust wants this one particular market to have the contract and what the Beef Trust says goes," and the taxpayers . of this dis trict get Justice "where Molly wears the beads and the chicken gets the ax." TOO MUCH 3I0NEY FOE SPECIAL MAIL SERVICE There will be no sDeclal mall service between Portland and Eurefcp. John H. Hollyday. acting second assistant postmaster-general, has declined to make any appropriation for such serv ice as requested by the Portland cham ber of commerce. Under the present conditions mail for Eureka must be shipped from Portland to San Francisco and thence sent back up the coast. It waa decided by the department that the amount of mall transmitted between Portland and Eureka did not warrant the extra expense of a special service..

The pon toon win be thoroughly recalked and towed back to the baths, which will be again opened to the public the latter pnrt or the week. In the meantime the baths will be closed. ptaasaM.

NOW $50 to $500 BAY CITY ORLGON ON TILLAMOOK BAY fHEN $500 to $5000 Substantially, the above headlines forecast the' history of an investment made now in Bay City, Oregon. Without a railroad, visited seldom, by steamships and-hitherto inac- .. cessible to any medium of economical freight transports- ' tion, Bay City has thrived upon its wonderful dairying in- ( terests. Now, with a railroad crawling rapidly from and to- ' ward it, Bay City holds within itself the possibility of scores of fortunes. These can be accumulated , only by intelligent action right now. Lots can be purchased in Bay City for -from $50 to $500. When the road is completed, Bayocean Park is running, steamship companies are competing with each other for the almost inexhaustible supplies of,' timber around Bay City, and the sawmills are humming" night and day to cut 30,000,000,000 feet of spruce, hemlock hd fir, if lots have not increasd ten fold, the trend of progress will , have altered its course. Verily, Bay City cannot escape the magnificent destiny that fortuitous circumstances have ar ranged for it. It you have $50 or $500, there' is not .an in vestment you can make that will come nearer to increasing ten fold in five years than property in Bay City, Oregon. Bay City Land Company President. R.
