Smith Korp Tho annual meeting of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company was held yesterday in the company's head quarters, corner Front and D streets. The session began at 11 a. si. and con cluded about half-past 7 in tho evening. Towards tho middlo of tho afternoon it looked very much as if a peaceful result could not bo reached, and tho meeting must adjourn without electing a board of directors. Elijah Smith, president of the company, presided, and there were present tho following directers: Wm. Endicott, Jr., and N. P. Hallowoll, of Boston; C. H. Lewis, C. A. Dolph, "W. S. Ladd, C. H. Prescott, Henry Failing and H W. Corbett, of this cityj also Bravton Ives of New lork. Mr. Smith and Mr. Ives were each represented by counsel, Mr. Dolph appearing for the former and Mr. H. Y. Thompson for tho latter. All that transpired in tho meeting could not bo learned, as all tho directors were strongly inclined to be reticent; indeed nothing could bo learned on the outside until late in tho evening, after the meet ing had adjourned. Proxies for more than half the shares represented were in dispute. H. Y. Thompson held a power of attorney to voto 103,000 shares from tho Farmers' Loan and Trust company, tho voting power of which had been originally dele gated to Messrs. Morgan, Ives and Endi cott. His right to cast the vote was com bated on tho ground that the threo gen tlemen mentioned did not havo tho legal Siwer to delegate sucn power to nim. r. Ives' right to voto 1200 shares hold by him was contested on tho ground of informality. On tho other hand, objec tion was made to Mr. Smith voting 16,000 shares hold by the Transcontinental com pany on tho samo ground. Finally, in order to reach some result and avoid threatened litigation (preparations having been mado to servo an injunction on ono side or the other to prevent that sido from doing something or other), tho matter of admitting tho disputed proxies was referred to a committeo of arbitration which consisted of tho six Portland directors. They wrestled with tho question about two hours, tho four eas torn gentlemen meanwhile pacing the halls anxiously. Their decision was that all the disputed proxies should be received. This proved oil on troubled waters and all the waves wore soon calmed. Thoro wero represented 235,531 shares. Theso were cast solidly for the old board of directors which conisted of twelvo members only, Mr. Coolidgo having resignod some time since. Tho votes split almost equally on tho thirteenth director. James J. Higginson was pre sented by tho Smith party, and Brayton Ives by tho anti-Smith. Mr. Higginson received the voto of 117,381 shares, and Mr. Ives 118.1GJ, giving him a majority of 777 shnrcs. The Portland stockhoMers voted for Mr. Ives. Iho newly elected board therefore consistes ef: C. H. Lewis C. A, Dolph, W. S. Ladd, C.H. Prescott, Henry Failing, H. f. Corbett and Lloyd Brooke, of Portland; William Edicott, Jr., and N. P. Hallowell, of Boston; Charles L. Colby, Milwaukee; John H. Hall, Elijah Smith and Braj-fou Ives of New York. So tho hatchets arc buried and every body is happy. A meeting of tho directors will bo held to-day and Mr. Smith will no doubt bo re-elected; Mr. Ives has a representation in tho board, and tho Portland directors are relieved at tho harmonious result.

EXffBAfiTS p3 V SPECIAL V EXTRACTS hot imm i The Royal Baking Powder possesses a peculiar it that is not possessed by any other leavening agent. It provides bread, biscuit, cake, muffins, or rolls which may be eaten when hot without inconvenience by per sons of the most delicate digestive organs. With most persons it is necessary that bread raised with yeast should lose its fhslmo or become stale before it can be eaten with safen. The same distressing results fol low from eating bi-cmc. cake pastry, etc., raised by the cheap, inferior halving powders that contain lime, alum, or other adulterants. The hot roll and muffin, and the delicious hot griddle cakes, raised by Royal Baking Powder, are as wholesome and digestible as warm soup, meat, or any other food. Another greatly superior quality possessed by the Royal Baking Powder is that by which the preser vation of important elements of the Hour is effected in raising the bread by tin- mechanical operation of the'gas without fermentation. Yeast, and all baking powders that produce the leavening gas by fermentation, as is well known, destroy a portion of the nutritive elements of the flour, and particularly those which are the most healthful and the greatest aids to a perfect assimila tion of the food. The Royal Baking Powder, while perfectly leavening, retains without change or impair ment all those elements which were intended by nature, when combined in our. bread, to make it literally the "staff of life." No leavening agent or baking powder, except the Royal Baking Powder possesses these great qualifier tions. what: !
