sion sent a letter to General Manager
ficott, Ban Francisco, demanding tiiat
something be dona so that shippers

rupt "Your monopoly of much of this ter
ritory is absolute and we insist and do-
mand that you supply the necessary
facilities for fully and adequately pro
tecting the manufacturers and produc
ers therein," said the commission In its
Utter.
"Nowhere In the west, so far as we
can learn, Is there such a comparative
car shortage as now exists on the
Southern Pacific system in this state,"

age of 9i5 cars on the S. P. lines In,

are being made by the Lewis and Clark
Salt Cairn association of Seaside for

to be given on Saturday evening, Au
gust 19, on the grounds of Hotel Moore,
for the monument to be erected on the
site of the old salt cairns used in 1805
by Lewis and Clark.
Many are skeptical as to the exact
location of the cairns, but the Oregon
Historical society, after a careful In
vestigation, taken from the diary of
Lew. s and Clark, located the lots In
Cartwright Park as the definite loca
tion. A jeweler of Portland has donated
a silver trophy to the person who
fcells the greatest number of tickets
for the carnival, so there Is much
enthusiasm and rivalry among those
who are distributing tickets.
The program will consist of num

Lois Gratke of Astoria, a violln-ist;

FAULTY TITLE TO LAND
IS ALLEGED IN A SI
AGAINST 0. & C R. R.
Andrew B, Hammond and
Charles J, Winton Ask the
Sum of $114,932.50.
Suit was filed yesterday by Andrew
B. Hammond of Portland and Charles
J. Winton of Wausau, Wis., against the
Oregon & California Railroad company
for J114.932.50 with interest at 3 per
cent since April 26, 1913. The plaintiffs
claim that they received a faulty title
to land in the Oregon & California land
grant from the railroad company, and
they ask the foregoing amount to cover
their losses.
The plaintiffs say that a contract
was entered Into with the defendants
in August, 1901. by which the plaintiffs
were to purchase 4S,
.32 acres of
timber land for $341,301. The land is
tributary to the watershed and waters
of the Trask, Tualatin and Wilson riv
ers. It comprises townships one, two
and thre south, in ranges five, six
seven and eight.
A supplemtntary agreement was en
tered into in July, l'JOi, by the terms
of which the plaintiffs were to buy
45,932.43 acres for $321,807.01. The
final payment was made in August,
1910.
The plaintiffs claim that the title of
the railroad company to the lands was
unmerchantable by reason of the pro
visions of acts of congress in 1865,
1889, 1870 and 1908. They say that it
was necessary for them to pay into the
treasury of the United States $2.50 per
acre in order to receive the- patent
rights. This cost them a total of $114,
932.50 for their title.
The plaintiffs contend that this pay
ment became necessary because of the
failure of the company to give them a
valid title in accordance with the
provisions of the agreement of 1901.
Success of Issue of
Bend Bonds Certain
Election Today Will Decide Matter of
&alslnff $35,000 for Bailroad Term
inals and. Extension of City Limits.
Bend, Or., Aug. 15. Two elections of
great Importance to Bend's future de
velopment are being held today. The
one probably of most significance is
the proposal to bond the city for $35.
000 for the purchase of terminal sites
ar.d rights of way for the Oregon, Cali
fornia & Eastern railroad, proposed by
Pobert E. 8trahorn, who is now in
Klamath Falls attending to matters
concerned with the final surveys. That
the Issue will carry by an overwhelm
ing majority Is assured as there is
considerable Interest shrwn in the mat
ter here. The second is the question
of extending the corporate limits of
the city of Bend tu include ail platted
territory which adjoins It and bring
it under the city administration. There
is but little opposition to the proposed
measure and this issue is also expected
to pass by a large majority.

The Triurt
WHEN we announced
Bevo recently, our hopes
were high. We knew that
we had the most unusual soft
drink that had ever been
offered: A beverage com
bining the nutritive extracts of
wholesome cereals, he zest of
Saazer Hops, a flavor all its
own, and absolute purity. We
knew this because, true to our
own ideals, we had experi
mented for years before we
were satisfied to say, "We offer
you ievo-it is a different soft
drink it is good and it is good
for you."
High as were our hopes for its
reception, wc have realized
them far and beyond
n
Wi
our expectations.
Bevo today is an
established popular
success. Everywhere
the same question is
asked: "Have you
tried Bevo?"
