E. I Russell, vloe-president and ex
Jcutlv In charge of the Mobile & Ohio
-railroad, arrived In Portland this mom
.jln In his private car, the 100-Rpot. Mr.
'RusseU and party are at the Portland.
Jffe Is accompanied by his wife and Mrs.
j Russell's mother and sister, Mrs. J. J.
Blllups and Miss ISalda Blllups, and his
.secretary, O. S. Gains. Mr. Russell
makes his headquarters . In Mobile, Ala.
"You folks out here evidently didn't
J feel the currency famine last fall." Mr.
Russell said this morning. "But down
nour way we felt It. and it Is still on.
rlt came on us in one day. We felt it
'almost before the news of a panic haJ
ireached the other parts of the world.
! "Our railroad runs through great tim

'lumber business always feels anything
fof this kind first. Twenty-five prr rent
por our business, we figure, comes from
lithe lumber industry.

"People have to have things to eat
and wear, and It was days before there
was a slump In the general shipping
business. But in the lumber business
there was a falling off of trade of every

, Conditions are Improving, however,
and I believe that within a year aft.-r

"business and every other business will

. The Mobile A Ohio is owned by the
Southern Railway company. From Port
land Mr. Russell goes to San Francisco

tlie will spend some time. Later he
rwill return to Portland, go north to
-Vancouver, B. C and then east over

Hanrf, Winnipeg and other rFsmjg along

Mr. Russell's hobby Is hunting prairie

Just as Mr. Russell said this he was
handed a telegram by his secretary.
,The messag was something about an

Mr. Russell went back to talking rail
roads again.
Mr. Russell and party leave tonight

Portland he will make a longer visit.
.Mr. Taffs ReliRiouR Belief.
From the Evening Post.
A point upon which Mr. Taft's back
ers apparently fear an attack will be
made, either openly or covertly, before
the campaign is very old. concerns the
religious belief of the Republican can
didate There is already considerable
discussion of this matter in some ijuar
trs, gn'i a tendency is revealed to ac
cept the conclusion that Mr. Taft is
an atheist. The statement Issued from
the White House on the day that he
was nominated, in whjch it was de
clared that the candidate had alw ivs
bten a Unitarian, appears to be unsat
isfactory to many persons, and they are
anxious for an elaboration of his re
llrlous convictions from his own mouth
Despite the fact that Seneca Smith
has filed an application for a rehearing
with the supreme court. City Attorney
Kavanaugh la so confident that the
court will not reverse its decision in
the matter of the bond issue that he ha
notified the water board to proceed
with the preliminary work of prepar
ing estimates for the cost of construc
tion for the pipeline for which the peo
ple voted $3,000. 000 and which was tied
up with the rest of the bond Issue re
cently declared valid by the court.
To this effect. City Attorney Kava
naugh has sent the following communi
cation to the water board:
Beadvertise Bond Sale.
"By the terms of this amendment the
council Is authorized In the name of the
city to issue and dispose of bonds of.
the city of Portland to the run amount
of $3,000,000. An ordinance has been
passed by the council authorizing tne
issuance and disposal of these bonds
and fcy this ordinance a committee of
the council was directed to advertise
for proposals for the purchase of such
bonds. When the city had proceeded
to this point the suit of McKenna vs.
Portland was Instituted and an Injunc
tion was Issued restraining the city
from proceeding further in the prem
ises. The recent decision of the su
preme court, when it becomes effective,
will dissolve this Injunction and th
council committee will rendvertiso for
the sale of these bonds. When the bids
are accepted the bonds will be Isftied
and the proceeds thereof credited to the
water fund. An estimate should be
made by the water board to the coun
cil of the probaole cost of the several
public utilities to be constructed. 'lth
a request to the council for authority
to proceed therewith, and for appropri
ations to cover the cost of the same.
Thereafter tlie work of construction will
be carried on by the water board.
"The council has authority to make a
specific appropriation for the construc
tion of a pipeline without making ap
propriations at the same time for other
purposes. In the orderly process of the
construction of the pipeline, it would
appear that a suitable appropriation
should be then made for the purchase
