AWAKE AT LAST.
Sixty-three members of the Portland
chamber of commerce went to Salem on
a special train Thursday mornjng for the
parpope of consulting the Multnomah
senators and the delegation about two
bills authorizing the construction of a
portage railway from The Dalles to Celilo
and impress upon them the necessity of
such an improvement. The Portlanders
appeared in the hall of representatives
about 11 o'clock and Hofer ot Marion,
knowing their mission, moved that the
house accord them a bearing on river
and harbor improvements. At 2 o'clock
the motion was carried.
At 12:30 o'clock the chamber of com
merce delegation had a conference in a
committee-room of the state house with
Senators Simon, McGinn and Woodard,
and Representatives Beach, Burke, Card-
well, Long, Myers, McCrackan, Paxton
and Thompson. The purpose of the
meeting was stated, and then Mr. D. D
Ohphant was called upon to epeak. He
said that two bills providing for a port
age railway bad been introduced in the
legislature, one in the senate by Smith
of Sherman, and one in the house by
Boothby of Morrow. The Portland
bureau of transportation had considered
both and had framed another measure
which, in Mr. Oliphant's judgment, em
bodied the good points of the two. He
read the bill, which provided for the
creation of a board of railway commia
eioners, consisting of the governor, sec
retary of state and state treasurer, and
giving it full authority to either build a
road from The Dalles to Celilo, or to con
tract with the O. R. & N. Co. for the use
of its track, between the points named,
on equitable termB. The bill also
authorized the board to construct the
necessary wharves and approaches and
appropriates the sum of $300,000 there
for. - He then spoke of the great benefit
of an open river to Portland and all
Eastern Oregon.
Messrs. Ellis G. Hughes and J. Lang
followed ' Mr. Olliphant. Among the
points emphasized by them was the fact
that the present railroad rates bring
Portland merchants into close competi
tion with the cities on the Sound, the
rates being the same. Mr. Lang said
the portage road would effect a saving in
freights paid on merchandise shipped
from Portland to the Inland Empire of
from 59 to 75 per cent. It was also
stated that by the Cascades portage road
shippers of The .Dalles alone saved $75,
000 a year.
One of the Portlanders said that a con
ference had been held with Eeceiver
McNeill, of the O. R. & N. Co., and Mc
Neill expressed his willingness to con
tract with the commissioners in case of
the passage of the bill, for the use of the
track of the O. R. & N. Co. between
Celilo and The Dalles. If such a con
tract be made, the expenses of building
a road will be avoided and the onlv cost
to the state will be for the construction
of wharves and approaches, which will
amount to $100,000 or $150,000, and the
balance of the appropriation can be re
turned to the treasury. On behalf of
the Multnomah senators and delegation
. Colonel McCraken and Mr. Paxton ei'
plained their attitude and the procedure
necessary to secure a passage of the bill.
At 2 o'clock the chamber of commerce
delegation entered the house and were
given reserved seats within the bar.
Hofer moved that Messrs. D. D. Oil
phant and Ellis G. Hughes be invited to
address the house. The motion was
carried and the gentlemen were invited
to take the platform. Mr. Hughes was
the first to epeak. After being' intro
duced to the house by Speaker Moores
he said the delegation from the chamber
of commerce visited Salem in the inter
est of Booth by's bill authorizing the con
struction of a portage railway between
The Dalles and Celilo, and appropriating
$300,000 therefor. Mr. Hughes spoke of
the necessity of having an open river,
It was a matter of the greatest impor
tance, not only to Portland and Eastern
Oregon, but to all of Oregon. There
was only one railroad to Eastern Oregon
and that railroad would not accept freight
for $2 a ton when it could get $5. Th
necessity of river competition was im
perative. The state should make a nec
essary appropriation for the construction
of a portage road and operate it for sim
ply the. cost 'of operation. Millions of
bushels of wheat were shipped to Port-
land over this railroad every season, and
4,000,000 or 5,000,000 came from Eastern
Oregon. Freight rates charged on these
shipments would be considered extor
tionate in the East, but in a thinly set
tied region they are considered fair by
the railway company. Two portage
roads, he said, were maintained between
The Dalles and Celilo, until Eastern
parties saw fit to construct a railroad.
Then the line of steamboats was dis
continued. From that time to this the
country has paid tribute to the railroad
company.
The state has power to relieve ship
pers, and this may be 'lone in two ways
First, build a new railroad from The
Dalles to Celilo ; second, enter into an
agreement with the O. R. & N. Co. for
the use of that part of its tracks.
There are two ways of getting use of
the company's track. First, by agree
ment with the company; second, the
state might stretch out its mighty arm
of eminent domain. The company,
probably, would not refuse to enter into
such an agreement, as if the state de
cides to build a portage it would rather
lease its piece of road and get some
profit than not lease and get no profit.
Portland was not greatly interested in
a portage. That city, Mr. Hughes said,
gets all the freight by railroad anyhow,
but Portland was interested" in the
effort for the relief of the Eastern Ore
gon farmers, because lower rates of
transportation would place them on a
more prosperous basis. Mr. Hughes
thought that the railroad company, in a
matter of portage, would be compelled
to kneel to the state and not the state
kneel to it.
Mr. Oliphant said that the short piece
of road from Celilo to The Dalles was the
toll-gate between Eastern Oregon and
the sea. It was also the same from
Portland to Eastern Oregon, high rates
being charged on necessaries of life.
With present rates, the farmers cannot
market their goods profitably. He re
ferred to the high freight charges from
far Eastern Oregon to The Dalles and the
low rates in effect from The Dalles, to
Portland, where there is river competi
tion. Members of Portland chamber of
commerce, he said, were not interested
to the extent of a dollar in the portage
road. He was strongly in favor of the
project, and thought the state would re
ceive ample compensation for the ex
penditure by a ebipo.ent of a single
crop of wheat.
Both speakers made a favorable im
pression, and their explanation of the
advantages of the portage road will ma
terially assist in securing the passage of
the bill.

PROGRESS.
People who get the greatest
legree ot comlort ana real en
oyment out of life, are those
who make the most out
1 of their opportunities.
yuicK perception ana
good judgment, lead such
promptly to adopt and
make use of those refined
and improved products of
modern inventive genius
which Dest serve the
needs of their physical
being. Accordingly,
the most intelligent
and progressive people
are found to employ
the most refined and
perfect laxative to reg-
rulate and tone up the
"i. stomach. - liver, and
v bowels, when in need
of such an agent hence the great popularity
of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. These are
made from the purest, most refined and
concentrated vegetable extracts, and from
forty -two to forty -four are contained in
each vial, which is sold at the same price
as the cheaper made and more ordinary
puis louna in tne market. In curative vir
tues, there is no comparison to be made be
tween them and the ordinary pills, as any
one may easily learn by sending for a free
sample, (four to seven doses) of the Pel
lets, which will be sent on receipt of name
ana aaeress on a postal cam.
QNCE USED THEY ARE ALWAYS IN FAVOR.
The Pellets cure biliousness, sick and
bilious headache, dizziness, costiveness, or
constipation, sour stomach, loss of appetite,
coated tongue, indigestion, oi dyspepsia,
windy belchings, "heart-burn," pain and
distress after eating, and kindred derange
ments of the liver, stomach and bowels.
Put up in glass vials, therefore always
fresh and reliable. One little "Pellet"
is a laxative, two are mildly cathartic.
As a "dinner pill,." to promote digestion,
take one each day after dinner. To relieve
distress from over-eating, they are on
equaled. They are tiny, sugar-coated
granules; any child will readily take them.
Accept no substitute that may be recom
mended to be "just as good." It maybe
better for the dealer, because of paying him
a better profit, but he is not the one who
needs help. - Address for free sample,
