HAS JAMES J. HILL SECURED FOOTHOLD IN
WILLAMETTE VALLEY IN FIGHT WITH RIVAL?
James i. Hill is said to have gain
ed control of the Oregon Electric
road, according to yesterday's Port
land Journal. The significance of the
move can scarcely be exaggerated, for
It is fraught with consequences of vast
Importance to Portland and to west
ern Oregon.
While local officials of the Oregon
Electric deny any knowledge of the
reported sale, it Is admitted that they
are not in a position to know the
facts. Well informed local financiers
are satisfied, that the deal has been
made and that Hill" Is now fully pre
pared to fhvade the Willamette valley
as an open and active competitor of
the Harriman system.
Xor is the purchase o the Oregon
Electric the only Important strategic
move recently made by Hill. It is an
open secret that when th,e United Rail
ways was sold a few months ago, the
actual purchasers were eastern men
intimately associated with Hill.
By this deal, Hill acquires the con
necting link between his terminal pro
perty in the north end and the very
heart of the west side business sec
tion. ' Moreover the United Railways
connect with the present terminus of
the Oregon Electric t Jefferson
"street, thereby opening the .way for
direct Invasion of the Willamette val
ley. Ever since the advent of the North
Bank road It has been predicted free
ly by railroad men that Hill would
not rest content with the exploitation
of central and eastern Oregon, but
would ultimately make a determined
fight for the still more attractive ter
ritory lying west of the mountains.
Control of Electric Lines,
Speculation naturally turned to the
question whether Hill would not find
In the Oregon Electric the most nat
ural means of access to this portion of
the state. And this Is precisely what
lias happened.
The Oregon, Electric now has lines
In operation to Salem, and Forest
Grove, with valuable rights of way to
many other points of Importance In
the Willamette valley. Albany, Cor
vallis, Dallas and McMlnnvIlle are
among the objective points to which
the surveys have been made, and ru
mor has credited the company with
plan for extensions still further
south.
The Intimate relations between the
Bill interests and the present owners
of the Crater Lake road, running east
from Medford, are well known, and It
Is quite on the cards that the Oregon
Electric under Hill management, may
eventually reach the Rogue River vel-
ley.
The Oregon Electric Is a standard
gauge road, of very substantial con
struction. Moffat & White of New
York, financed the road, which en-
Joyed the distinction of being built
for cash, no bonds being Issued until
last year. When application was made
to the city cfouncil of Portland, for a
franchise within the city limits,
strong opposition was encountered
from the Harriman system, and It
was believed by many at that time
that Hill was back of the new road
This was denied emphatically by Its
representatives, but even then It was
apparent that the line might prove the
opening wedge which would ultimate
ly destroy the Southern Pacific's mo
nopoly In western Oregon.
Stevens Visits East.
John F. Stevens, Hill's chief repre
sentative In Oregon, went east sever
al weeks ago and has not yet return
ed. Whether his trip had any con
nection with the reported sale of the
Oregon Electric Is not known. Guy
Talbot, vice president and general
manager of the electric road, said to
day that he had absolutely no know
ledge of such a deal, but admitted
that it might have been made. "All
I can say is that it is all news to me,"
said Mr. Talbot.
With complete control of both the
Oregon Electric and the United Rail
way, the Hill lines will be able to ship
freight from valley points to eastern
markets without switching charges,
delays or transhipment in Portland.
The volume of business to be handled
in this city will be vastly increased,
and a mighty stimulus will be given to
the development of western Oregon.

NEW ANESTHETIC IS

Kansas Clty.-r-Out of the fever
Infected Jungles of the backwoods
nf Arkansas has come a medical dis
covery tha may revolutionize surgi
cal practice. An anaesthetic which
the faculty of the university of Kan
sas medical college declares Is superior
to any other medical knowledge one
which throws stovalne Into the class
of shortlived sensations and which
they insist will eliminate cocaine from
use as a local anaesthetic is the gift
to the world of Dr. Henry Thlbault
of Scott, Ark.
This new anaesthetic Is quinine
common quinine and startling claims
are made for it. The effect of quin
ine when injected locally lasts for
days, so that if tonsils are Involved or
bones are cut from the nose there Is
no pain for many days. Cocaine
loses It power shortly after the oper
ation. Quinine Is safe, whereas co
caine has a toxic effect save In small
doses. Quinine hardens the tissues,
preventing hemorhrages. Cocaine does
not do this.
The vindication of these claims has
