him, according to his statement in

Railroad Today Take For
mal Action Looking to Big
Improvement in System.
NEW CHANGE TO COST
GREAT SUM OF MONEY
Operation of First Unit of
Electrification Justifies Ex
tension of the Work.
Milwaukee, Wis.. Sept. 25. (I. N. S.)
Electrification of all Its lines to the
west, where the power is available,
was decided upon here today at a
meeting of the directors of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad.
Information that the Milwaukee sys
tem actually will complete the elec
trification of Its system was received
here this morning with no surprise.
K. K. Garrison, general agent here.
stated that the official bulletins of
the company have Indicated that the
decision was "in the air" and undoubt
edly would be reached eventually. The
uirectois' meetinr, in fact, had been
called for the express purpose of de
ciding whether to authorize the elec
trification now or later.
The first unit of electrification re
cently completed and operated suc
cessfully has more than justified the
expenditure, especially over the heavy j
mountain grades. In the opinion of
railroad operating men who have
watched the experiment.
No estimate of the cost of the elec
trification of the western lines is
available here, but It is known that it
would be enormous. The directors are
expected to reach Seattle some time
next week for inspection of the sys
tem.
Talk of the proposed entrance of the
Milwaukee into Portland has not been
heard for a number of months, though
the company has been active in the vi
cinity of Grays harbor and lias leasing
relations with both the O-W. R. & N.
and the Northern Pacific in various
sections of Washington.
The announcement that the lines
will be electrified wherever power is
available is taken to mean that the
entire western end of the system, ex
tending across Washington and Idaho,
is to be brought under the electrifica
tion.

"So I guess Alabama is good enough

a Mobile man to a Portland friend, in
transmitting a clipping telling of
Jonathan Bourne Jr.'s purchase of a
1600-acre farm in the cotton state.
"I was rather planning to sell out
here and move to Oregon, where I
had been told everything is ideal for
life and for agriculture and profit,''
the writer had stated. "But if Senator
Bourne, who used to represent Oregon
in congress, has decided t, live in
Alabama. 1 guess Alabama Is good

Mr. Bourne has maintained a legal
residence In Portland, but this resi

Fear Opposition May Block
Loan of Any Size, Reason
Amount Asked Reduced.
New York, Sept 25. (I. N. S.) The
proposed loan to Great Britain and
France may not exceed $30p,000,000,
according to report here today.
Banks throughout the country, In-
eluding three in Manhattan and three
in Hoboken, have announced their will-j
lngness to participate in a loan of any I
size and it is feared that the efforts
of hostile agencies to block the loan
will be successful, at least to the pclnt
of scaling down the $600,000,000 total
previously deemed the minimum.
If only $300,000,000 is secured now, it
is possible that another loan will ne
made next spring.
It was understood here today that
a tentative agreement will be reached
within a few days, after which rep
resentatives of the American Bank
ers' association will be called into con
ference and the machinery for bringing
in the money set in motion.
