It was ii battle, of Blunts, with the tort lcKnl talent that the Ilurrlman system could command In Oregon, nrrayed upon nno aide, while, pitted against them on tho other side were two of the best Informed railroad at torneys that could be obtained In the Htate, to thresh out the 'itiestlun of railroad legislation or no railroad lcfflslatlon before th.e Joint commit tee on railways and transportation of the house ilhl ::ennle at the first meeting of the session last evening. The Harrlinan system of railroads was roprxsented before tho commit tee by Attorneys W. V. Cotton and W. I). Fenton, of Portland, who re sorted to every means and argument at their command to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the committee that there was absolutely no need whatever for the creation of a rall-ro-id commission In the state of Ore gon, and, furthermore, that there had never been any cans for complaint of rate descrimlnatlon or' the ehurge of unreasonable local rates nnd con sequently, no demand for rate regula tion nor reciprocal demurrage law? On the other hand, Attorneys J. N. Teal and W. T. Mulr, of Portland, both former railroad attorneys and thoroughly familiar with all of the tricks of the trade, waxed eloquent and furious and exhausted almost every resource at their command to prove that the conditions were such that there Is deplorable demand for railroad regulation of the strictest character and that the creation of a rnilioad commission, with power to enact rules and regulations for the government of railroads and their traffic within the state was the only effective solution to the question. The arguments and pleadings of the opposing counsel ranged from dis cussions of railroad traffic and con trof throughout the Union and local conditions especially; tu personal sorties and Inuendoes: political ban tering! und counter charges, until, during the closing remarks of Attor ney Fenton, his charge that the Eu gene grievance convention was called at the Instigation of the manage ment of the Oregon & Southeastern Kallrnad company, was met by n emphatic exclamation of "That Is not so," by a coarso voice In the audi ence, which later proved to be that of Manager Wood, of the railroad alluded to, and Mr. Fenton's Jocular remark to the effect that It was very unbecoming for Mr. Teal to try to , eiiiiilulu president ltoosevelt In his ! flRht against tin; railroads und then vote ugiiinst 111 1 ii at the election, was met by a counter thrust from Air. Teal that "In one thing at least I am consistent, and that Is that I have al wiiys remained a democrat." lli feiring to the sufferings of the lumbermen of the state, Mr. Cotton said the lumbermen had the sympa thy of the railroad company although thlr business had been Increased by a large percentage In spite of the complained of car shortage, which the company, owing to Its curs being tied up In California und the east, was powerless to overcome, and he quoted figures tending to show that the general freight business of the company had Increased over 40 per cent since 190993; the lumber traffic 64 per cent and the local tonnage business 24 per cent Investigating Committees.

Present Portage Hoard Cannot filvc Sufficient Allelillon In the Matter Senator Wlionlilon Al-u Intro duces a BUI to Extend tho Piirtnge Itoail tu The Billies. I To take the direct management of lite portage road out of the hands of the state loard, composed of the gov ernor, secretary of state and state treasurer, and providing fo rth-s ap pointment of a civil commission, prolmblv composed of the leading spirits if the Open itivei association. Is the purpose of a bill now being prei.ird '-) Attorney General Craw fi rd for J. N. Teal, of Portland, at the suggestion of the state board. It has long been the contention of the portage board that the additional diilhs and responsibilities Imposed upen them were such as could not be attended to properly and, owing to the distance of the road from the capital. It was Impossible for the hi.ard to keep In touch with the af fairs and details of operation, as the needs demanded, and all recommend a change as suggested In the proposed bill. Without visiting the road occasion ally the only means the board has of keeping In touch with conditions Is through the report of the superin tendent, and It is argued that a board of responsible citizens could give more satisfactory service to the benefic iaries generally. senntor Whealdon of Wasco, has Introduced u bill In the senate asking for an appropriation of $60,000 for the extension of the portage road from Its present terminus to The Dalles, distance of a little over four miles In order that the transfer of freight may be more eanily and economically handled, and that the efficiency of the service be Improved. Since the road has been operated at a constant and Increasing loss to the state ever since It was thrown open to traffic It is expected that some opposition will develop to the enactment of the bill calling for an additional appropriation.

Some time ogo report had It thai McKlnley was engaged in the hotel business In Shanghai, but this was proved to be erroneous today by a man who hns Just returned from the land of pigtails, where he saw McKlnley In the city of Tien Tsln. It Is said that Horace is making money with tho little white ivory. There are no Tom Words holding the reins of law In the Chinese province j which Horace Inhabits, and conse quently the gambling fever has a high I temperature. The saffron-hued - I lestlnls are ns susceptible to the mi crobe as their white brothers who visit tho orient. As a result Horace G. is not slow to take advantage of the International weakness of mankind. His gambling devices are Impartial and fleece the poor heathen with the same regulari ty and precision that extrncts the slmoloons from the pockets of the white man. Cured of Lung Trouble. "It Is now 11 years since I had a narrow escape from consumption," writes C. O. Fleyd, a leading business man of Kershaw, S. C. "I had run down in weight to 135 pounds, and coughing waa constant, both by day and by night. Finally I began taking Dr. King's New Discovery, and con tinued this for about six months, when my cough and lung trouble were entirely gone and I was restored to my normal weight, 170 pounds."
