Predicts Itailroail War on Deschutes.
J. D. Porter, oub of the three Poi
ter brothers, rniliond couti actors who
Tor some yearj have teeu building or
starting railway lines tbioiigbout tbe
PaciHc northwest and turning them
over to J. J. Hill, stuled this morning
that a railroad through tbe Deschutes
river canyon to lieud is a certainty.
His story, when analyzed, tully bears
out tho story of yesterday that central
Oiegou is to see a great struggle be
tween Hill and ilnrriman for entrance
into one of the richest districts iu
tbo stale and that there is to be one
of it be mott Bpectaculnr races ou rec
ord botweeu tho two interests tor con
trol of tbe situation, says tbe Port
land Journal.
Although Mr. Porter denies that
Hill has bought the Oregon 'X'runk
Line aud that Hill's surveyors have
been thrown into the tlold to lay out
a Hill line into central Oregon by way
of tbe Deschutes pups, be virtually
admits as much ty inference.
Mr. Porter states in so many words
tbat be himself and bis lit others are
tbo owneis of the Trunk Line, though
he denies thht Hill's money bought
tbe road. He says that a road is to
be built through tbe Deschutes, but
is not very cluar as tc who is -o build
this road, which be says will be of in
estimable value, not only to Central
Oregon but particularly to Portland.
Aud be stctes thui there is no other
way iuto central Oregon from this
side except through the Deschutes
. river o uiynu.
Mr. Puiter says tbat the two parties
of surveyors which were throwu into
tbe field iast Saturday, in addition
to tho Harriman forces alieady there,
uro not his men. Tho inference, there
fore, is plain tbat thoy are Hill's
men.
The Poitor brothers, W. F. Nelson,
from whom fhey bengbt the Oregon
Trunk Line and V. N. Bethel, locat
ing engineer of the North Bank, held
a conference at The Dalles something
over week go. The teoeut sudden
activity toward Crnok county is ap
parently consequent upon tbat con
ference, Since Porter ttates emphat
ically that the parties of surveyors are
not bis own. they must be Bethel's,
Aud W. N. Bethel is Hill's engineer.
Ergo, the surveyors must be Hill's.
James J. Hill is not surveying a
road iuto Ceutral Oregon without a
more or less definite intention of
building It which means a violation
on his part of tbe tacit agreement that;
he would confine his operations to the
portn bank of the Columbia. Conse
quently tbe assembling of Hill men,
such as tbe Porters, lietbol, Nelson
aud others.
J. D. Porter denies that be is a
Hill mau. Hut be certainly is not a
Harriman man aud no one can have
tbe faintest idea tbat tbe Porters have
any intention of building tbe line
themselves. For years they have been
working for Hill, back by Hill money
and building lines which, on or'befoie
tbeir completion, were absorbed by
tbe Hill system.

Oregon 50 Years Old.
Tbis winter tbe state of Oregon will
be 50 years old and it has been sug
gested by the Oregon Daily Journal
tbat some kiud of a semi centennial
celebration be held.
Oregon was admitted to tbe union
as a state on February 14, 1859, says
tbe Journal, berce ou that day next
year, 1909, will occur the fiftieth an
niversary or semi-centennial of tbe
birth of Oregon as one of tbe states of
tbe great American uuiou. The popu
lation of Oregon tbe next year, 1800,
was 5'2,4I!5, having Increased from 12,
204 iu 1850 These numbers luclude
only white population When admit
ted, therefore, Oregon bad about 50,
000 white people. Its growth has been
slow, but it has grown some, eno igh
to celebrate.
Most if not all states tbat have pass
ed the semi-centennial mark have cel
ebrated tbe event, studied and re
counted 'heir development, rejoioed
in their progress and portraved the
victories of tbe future. Why should
not Oiegon follow tbis example? Tbe
time is short, only five months, but it
is sutlloent to prepare some sort of a
celebration for the fiftieth anniver
sary of tbis splendid state.
Tbe Journal has seen nn nieution
mad. i of this matter yet and so brings
forward the suggestion. The anniver
sary will come at a time of year wbon
nothing else iu particular ia doing,
and when people of all sorts can take
a littlo time tor this affair.

The words were transmitted through
a medium, wbo declared tbat the
spiiitof her dead brother was the
means of introducing ber to the ghost
ofjtbe murdered man and assisted ber
in receiving messages from tbe other
woild. Among the statements attrib
nted to Hutchinson's spiiit are tbe
following:
1 do not know wbo was my mur
derer.
"1 am busy here with religious
work busier tban on earth, but able
to do more good tbau in my body.
"My message to tbe men of Spokane
is: 'Be more earnest tban ever in
Christian work and open more of
your homes to homeless young men.
"It my family were to be told tbat
my spirit had come to earth and was
communicating with friends they
would be skeptical. I am perfectly
happy and 1 am watching my family
aud know they are happy."
Dr. House said tbat while tbe con

Peculiar Accident to Freight Train.
A ponderous freight train out of
Ashland Tuesday morning, says tbe
Tidings, comprising 40 or more heav
ily louded cars, was climbiag the Sis
kiyou grade propelled by five big
locomotives, three on tbe Lead end
and two on the rear, when a car in the
middle of tbe train suddenly donbled
up and Ibe tremendous power behind
it crushed the oar Into kindling and
scattered its contents of barley broad
cast. Tbe accident blocked the tiaok
for several hours and delayed passen
ger trains. Tbe ear was too "weak"
in iti structural capacity to withstand
the tremendous Impact of tb long
train and was literally torn to pieces.
Formerly it was tbe custom of the
Southern Pacifio company operating
department to divide its freight trains
into sections across the mountains,
but nowadays it ia tbe practice to
make up long trains and add loo o mo
tives in proportion.
