A story which seems to be auth
entic comes Irom Newberg to the
effect that the Southern Pacific
lines are to be joined in the near fu
ture by a connecting track running
from Newberg to St. Joseph. Sur
veyors are now said to be at work
between these two points ascertain
ing the best and most feasible route
over which to build a new track.
Owing to the absence from the
city Dom 01 uenerai Aianager
Worthington and VV. E. Coman,
general freight and passenger agent
of the Southern Pacific, no confir
mation of the story could be se
curea, out it seems to come irom a
reliable quarter and is interesting

service would be installed over the
West Side lines as soon as the cars
could reach Portland from Kansas
City, where they were being built.
The time for the cars to reach the
city is now overdue, but advices
tell that ' they are on the road
though perhaps delayed by the bad
weather conditions of the mountain
divisions.
The company management in
telling of the new service stated
that it would be put on between
Portland and Hillsboro or perhaps,
if successful, as far as Fotest Grove.
The new plan to build a connect-
inS track between Newberg and St
Joseph brings to light an interest
ing possibility and one which is
creating a great deal of talk along
the line of the two West Side tracks.
St. Joseph is A 7 miles from Port
land over the West Side division.
wuile Newberg is 20 miles away
over the vamhill division. It is
perhaps ten miles between New
berg and St. Joseph and the terri
tory inclosed in this line of track
will make, to all practical intents,
a large triangle with a perimeter of
approximately 80 miles, inclosing
some of the richest land of the Wil

The Southern Pacific's plan, so
it is said, is to run two motcr

THEY HAVE GOOD MEMORIES
Turning Down ef a Comrade by Sen.
ater Fulton Net Relished by the
Old Soldiers.
At the largest attended meeting
for many months of the General
Ranson Post, G. A. R., in this city,
last baturuay. the louowmg reso
lutions were unanimously adopted :
Whereas Comrade Rufus Wag
gener was a member of Company
B, Third Regiment, Iowa Volun
teer Infantry, and gave more than
three years of the best of his life to
the service of his country in her
hour of peril.
Whereas, Upon the recommenda
tion of the late Hon. Thomas H.
Tongue, a resident of this place,
and, a member of Congress from
this district, Comrade Waggener
was appointed postmaster of this
city, and has faithfully discharged
his duties as such, in so faithful a
mauner that no complaint has ever
been made with regard to the same
by the patrons of said office;
Whereas, More than 400 legal
voters and patrons of said office,
including more than 90 per cent of
the business and professional men
of this city, and including the mem
bers of this post, signed a petition
praying that he be reappointed to
said position.
Whereas, It has been the de
clared policy of the President of the
United States to reappoint a Post
master for a second term, where his
services have been satisfactory, and
specially so where the incumbent
was a soldier., j
Whereas, Notwithstanding the
1
facts as above set forth, the Presi
dent of the United Slates, at the so
licitation ot Ilon.C. W.Fulton, Unit
ed States Senator from Oregon, be
ing, as we believe, deceived and
kept in ignorance of the facts above
sets forth by the said C. W. Fulton,
has refused to reappoint Comrade
Waggener, and has appointed a
gentleman, in whose behalf no pe
tition was circulated or signed in
this community.
Resolved, by General Ramsom
Post, No 69, G. A. R., That, by
the action of the said Hon. C. W.
Fulton, the President of the United
States has been prevailed upon to
make an appointment in direct op
position to the wishes of the people
of this community, as expressed by
their petition, in violation of the '
principle of home rule, so dear to
every American, in direct opposi
tion to the policy of the Adminis
tration, as repeatedly declared by
President Roosevelt, to reappoint a
faithful officer, especially where the
officer has done service in behalf of
his country, and the absolute vio
lation of the principle ot the civil
service law, of which our President
has been so distinguished an advo
cate;
Resolved, That we regard the ac
tion of Hon. C. W. Fulton in this
matter as an insult to every man
who who wore the blue during the
dark days of '61 to '65; that it shows
the hollowness of his oft-repeated
protestations of respect for the vet
erans of this country, and we call
upon the comrades of tht State of
Oregon, and their friends, to resent
this action upon his part when op
portunity offers.

T- T- HU1 Wins.
Washington, D. C, March 6.
The supreme court today, in the
case of the Harriman interests
against the Northern Securities
company, affirmed the decision of
the circuit court allowing the dis
tribution of shares in the possession
01 tne securities company, among
the lines included in the company.
This is the final defeat for the Har
riman interests.
The decision allows the desired
pro rata of distribution asked for
by Hill. The motion of J. Hamil
ton Lewis to intervene on behalf of
the Continental Security company
was denied. The decision was a
surprise, as it was not expected for
several weeks.
The case was brought by Harri
man, Kockleller, Kukn, Loeb &
Co. and others against J. J. Hill, J.
Pierpont Morgan and others, and
involved the control of the North
ern Pacific, and a half interest in
the Burlington. The decision ren
dered today, insures to the Hill in
terests the control of these lines.
The litigation is the aftermath of
the decision rendered by the ru-
preme court last year declaring the
Northern Securities company ille
gal. Harriman demanded the re
turn of the actual Northern Pacific
shares that he put into the combi
nation, which if he had secured
them would have meant
control of the road. Hill
and Morgan, in dissolving the Se
curities company, offered to pro
rate so many shares of the North
ern, which has the effect of putting
Harriman in the minority of the
Northern Pacific.
The Northern Securities com
pany was formed in the intersts of
the Great Northern, and consisted
of a merger of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern, holders of rail
road stock surrendering it for stock
in the Securities company, which
also acquired a controlling interest
in the Burlington. When, the
merger was declared illegal a plan
of pro-rata distribution was adopted,
giving each stockholder shares in
individual roads instead of the
stock originally put into combine
Vertical Writing Attacked.
The six Chicago school princi
pals appointed to investigate the
cause of poor penmanship among
the graduates of the city schools
have recommended the abolition of
the vertical style and the adoption
of a slanting style, the slant not to
exceed i2li degrees and one from
10 to 15 degrees is preferable. The
slant of the old Spencerian system
was 52 degrees. The claim is made
that the vertical style oi writing is
too slow, to easily duplicated, not
practical tor business and dertroys
individuality. The investigation
of systems covered 78 cities and it
was discovered that 43 of these use
the modified slanting style.

CLOSE TO THE
LAST DITCH
ABOUT ALL UP WITH RUSSIA
j
he Japa Pushing the Russian Sol
tiers Hare) Frightful Lees ef
Life to Both Sides.
Mukden, March 7 (4:35 P. M.j
Fighting of the fiercest kind, which
is likely to decide the fate of the
battle which has been in progress
for ten days, began at dawn today
anel has continued uninterruptedly
up to the present time on a front
fourteen miles long, west of the
railroad and on a line with the
Shakhe river. The Japanese also
have made a desperate attack on
Pntsiaputze, and reports are arriv
ing nere tnai ngnting was renewed
this morning on the extreme left of
the Russian army.
Both lines are fighting with des
peration to the westward, though
the troops are well nigh exhausted.
The issue of the battle may depend
. largely on the relative physical con
dition of the rank and file. In its
main features the combat is very
much like that at Liao Yang, and
if the Russians should be able to
crush the flanking force victory
may be regarded as won.
The losses in the ten days of bat
tle on both sides are already far
greater than were the casualties in
the battle ot Liao Yang, and are
likely to increase as the days pass
before the issue is fully decided.
Beginning at 2 o'clock a. m., the
Japanese made a succession of des
perate attacks on General Tserpitz
ky's division, on the west front,
south of Mukden, repeating the
assault at intervals of two hours
with constant reinforcements.
About 50,000 Japanese, with 200
pieces of artillery, participated. All
the attacks were repulsed, there be
ing enormous losses on both sides.
London, March 8. The Daily
Mail's correspondent says:
Reports are current here that the
Russians are in retreat and prepar
ing to destroy the railroad north of
Mukden. General Karopatkin is
said to have gone to Fushun after
holding a council of war of 100 offi
cers.
His left rearguard, consisting of
20,000 picked troops, is retiring.
Chinese report that Mukden has
been completely evacuated and that
its great magazines were set on fire
by Japanese artillery.
The strike at the fair grounds in
Portland is said to be dead, and
work is going on nearly as usual.
Help is plenty and it is hard to in
duce men with families to throw up
a certainty, with good wages, for an
uncertainty and loss of tim e and

Why Not Chloroform tht Old Meu?
Fraternal insurance rates will be
discussed in the Industry hall this
evening, in the connection with the
proposed adoption ot a plan by the
Oregon jurisdiction of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen. The
plan recommended by the supreme
lodge will be presented by Ralph
Feeney, a past grand master of the
Oregon gioud ludge. Tuc nega
tive was to have been discussed by
J. E. Werlein, but as he is ill it is
expected he will send a substitute.
The object of the discussion is to
educate members of the A. O. U.
W. along the line of higher rates
and safer insurance. The supreme
lodge has presented a long-consid
ered proposition to the state juris
dictions, by which members are
given a choice of two or three plans
of continuing their old insurance
policies or applying for new ones.
The supreme lodge plan has been
adopted by twenty-four state juris
dictions, including California, Penn
sylvania, New York, Texas, Colo
rado, Connecticut, North Dakota,
West Virginia, Oklahoma, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Op
position in Oregon has come from
the older members, upon whom a
heavy advance in rates would be
made. The member who at 70
years ot age is paying an assess
ment 03.56 on a $2,000 policy
would have to pay $8.40 to place
his insurance on a sound basis.
The new plan proposes two ways
by which he may secure material
advantages without paying the full
increase named. These features of
the plan will be discussed at this
evening's meeting.
1 ne level rate under tne new
plan is based on $1.24 per $r,ooo
for the age of 2 1 years. Members
preferring the step-rate plan pay
less in youth, and a gradually in
creasing assessment as they grow
older.
. There has been a change of sen
timent in the Oregon grand lodge
since the meeting last summer in
Portland, when the supreme lodge's
plan was voted down. It is now
thought that the necessary two
thirds of the grand lodge represen
tatives will vote for the new plan,
and its advocates confidently be
lieve the change will be made at
the coming special that has just
been called by Grand Master E.
Berchtold to meet in Portland. April
13th. Portland Journal of Monday.
S. W. Potter has lately placed a
clock in his jewelry store which
puts the old eight day timepieces
out of business. It will run two
and a half years without touching
it, the power which swings the
eight pound pendelum being fur
nished by a small storage battery.
This is certainly what Mr. Potter
calls it a lazy man's clock. New
