OREGON TRUNK WILL REACH BMIEJL,""""

General Manager Kyle Says He Has
aMtcrlal Enounh lo Reach Bend
antl Is Laylnfl Track at the Rate of
Mile and a Half a Day.
PORTLAND. Ore., Oct. 14. -Thick
laying on tho Oregon Trunk lino from
the Columbia river south began this
week under plans which General
Mnimger Kyle expects will result in
completing, the work as far as the
rVnnlrod river within the next 70
1nvf
Sis miles of track arc now down
and with tho present force employed
about one and one hnlf miles of the
rails is being lnid daily.
There is sufficient material on the
ground at present to complete track
laying to Crooked river, in Crook
county, a distance of 131 miles from
Malmood, Ore., the station on the
Columbia river.
At Crooked river work will be de
lavcd on account of the deep cauvon
and i twill be necessary to build a
bridge at that point before lnvine
track can be begun gettween there
and Bend, n distance of 25 miles. The
grade for tho entire distnnce between
the Columbia river and Bend is prac
tically completed, covering a distance
of IfiC miles.
PlllfS HOLD
THEMSELVES IN
Althouflh They Have Lost Three
Games In Succession to All Stars.
It Is Saldino Be Due to Orders
Not to Extend Themselves.
The All-Stars made it four straight
by beating the Athletics at the Amer
ican league grounds here today.
Mack's men played a better game
than on the three previous occasions,
when they have met the All-Stars,
but at that they were almost shut out,
scoring their one lonesome tally In
the final Inning. Morgan and Dygort
pitched good ball for the losers, while
Johnson iar the All-Stars was invin
cible. ,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. The
fourth game of the series between
the Philadelphia Athletics and the All
Stars will be played here today with
Walter Johnson of Washington twirl
ing for the Stars, and Chief Bender
and Jack Coombs for Philadelphia.
Derrick will relieve Bnker, who in
jured his fiuger yesterday.
Although it has not been official. v
nnnouncqd. it is thought likely Hint
Bender will bo selected by Mnnngor
Mack to twirl the first game of the
world.', series.
The fact that three games in suc
cession have been won by the All
Stars is not considered remarkable
by the followers of the Athletics, for
the champions have instructions to
play under wrnps and conseouently
have not been Miowing the fighting
spirit necessary to win games. The
work of the Athletic catchers, too,
has been below that of the All Star
bnckstops'

force It, They represented that state
rates had Influence on interstate
rates, and that, consequently, tho en
forcement of the commission's re
duced rates would be In conflict with
the orders of the Interstate commerce
commission. They said a reduction
applying to commodities would be a
boomerang on tho shippers, making
It necessary to assess higher rates on
other shipments in order to even up
on the commission's mandatory re
ductions, To all of which Clyde D.
Altchjson, .railroad commissioner, an
swered this morning, saying:
"Tho questioning of the validity of
the act under which the state railroad
commission operates was the same
raised and settled In the O. R. & N.
rate fight, That the Southern Pacific
should not be making any money
seems strange when the entire line
has been reconstructed recently out
of operating expenses.
Alleged State Contract.
"Tho Southern Paclflo attorneys
said that by act of Octobor 14, 18C2,
the state had entered Info a contract
with the Oregon and California rail,
road, tho Southern Pacific's prede
cessor, by which control of rates was
to he vested In the railroad. This, if
true would bo unconstitutional. It
Would ho equivalent to tho state's
Contracting avny and handing oyer
jjw own sovereignty.

where they were unreasonably high.
The railroad had not recognized the
relationship between tariffs assessed
on various classes of freight. The
recognition must be given.
"Tho reductions are Intended for
the benefit, ultimately, of the con
sumer. They apply to articles that
people eat, drink and wear, it Is es
sential that reductions bo mado for
tho benefit of the people, because
the rates south of Salem, the region
it was particularly intended to bene
fit by this order, are higher than they
were 20 .years ago.
"I notice Judge Fenton says the
Southern Pacific does not wish to In
crease freight charges for shippers
because they want to build up the
state. This being true, why did tho
Southern Pacific recently raise its
rate on lumber from $3.25 to $5?
Why was it that only a Bhort time
ago tho rates on prunes, hops, Bal
mon and fruits were put up?"
In securing the tomporary restrain

tho railroad commission's tariffs are

"Tho representation of Attorney
W. D. Fenton for tho railroad that
present rates are reasonable and are
only tho subject of complaints by
Jobbers, Is Incorrect. Complalntc that
