THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Will Make Big Attempt to Dominate
All Western Oregon.

San Francisco, Oct 24.--It is said
here that the Southern Pacific Com
pany are desirous of controlling the Or
egon Pacific railway and tributary wa
ter lines that, will be placed on the
market in the early part of next month.
The Southern Pacific has recently had
the division superintendent,L. r. Field,
of the oregon division of the Southern
Pacific looking over the Oregon Pa
ciflc road. Mr.. Field has been accom-
panied by an engineering expert, and
it is reported that the Southern Pacific
people are favorably impressed with
the Oregon Pacific'c plant, and that
there is possibility of the former
making purchase. Other railroad
companies, however, are interested in
the northern road. One of them is the
Great Northern Railway company
James |. Blair, of Blairsville, N. j., and
many times a millionaire, is one OF
the largest stockholders in the Oregon
Pacific. Blair is also one of the prin-
cipal hackers of the Great Northern,
and it is for his line that he is making
a fight to control the Oregon Pacific
1t is the finteneion Of the Great Nor
thern to make connections with the Or
eeon line thus allowing 1t rail and
ocean route to San Francisco. The
third party in the fight is the repre-
sentative of numerous small sharehold-
ers of the Oregon Pacific. If the South
ern Pacific should get control OF It,
it will have the same hold on the VIII
lamette Valley that 1t now has on the
San Joaquin Valley in California. AT
present the Oregon Pacific operates. a
line of steamers on the Willamette riv-
er which holds the Southern Pacific
down to low rates. General Agent
ID. II. Vaughn, of the Oregon Pacifc
said: The plant of the Oregon Pacific
is valued at about $15,000OOO. There Is
$3.50, 900 in labor claims that Will have
to be settled in addition to- the out
standing receivers certificates amount
ing to about $60OOOO." The road is
bonded for $4,000 mile. The acquire
nent of proprietorship of the oregon
Pacific system by the Southern Pacihc
would give the latter company the SUI
premacy, over the whole of Western
oregon from the California state line
to Pnrtland

Associated Press.
New York, Oct 24-Suit was brought
in the New York supreme court today
against the United Press for the APP
printment of a receiver and account
ant. The action runs against the
United Press, Charles A Dana, VIM.
M. Laffan, John b. Walsh, Walter r,
Phillips, and half dozen other d.
iectors. The complaint is made by the
Evening News Association, of Detroit
Mich. 1t is charged that.he United
Press was organized under the laws OF
New York in 1882 and reorganized II
1854. The complainant held five shares
of the founders stock. For some years
all went WELL but some time about
the close of 1857, the officers formed
a syndicate among themselves for the
organization of new company under
the laws of Illinois to take the bust
ness Of gathering and collecting news
off the hands of the original company
The original company had a capital
stock of $20,000 but the new company
Is capitalized for fifty times as much,
that is, for $1,000,00 On this basis,
some stockholders Of the New York
company were permitted to exchange
their shares In that company for a
new issue by the Illinois company, re-
ceiving fifty shares of new stock for
every share they held of the old. The
million dollar corporation guaranteed
N annual dividend of six per cent t.
the twenty thousand dollar company
1t proved a profitable deal for the fa-
vored stockholders who were accorded
the privilege of an exchange of stock,
for the new company began forthwith
to pay annual dividends of four per
cent, showing that the same business
would have yielded two hundred per
cent dividends to the stock holders or
the old company. The stockholders of
the New York company who were not
given a chance to go into the illinois
company were soon startled TO nnd
that for the guarantee OF six per cent
they had given away two hundred per
cent For two years past no dividends
have been paid, but the complainant
in the suit Instituted today expects to
establish the fact that the stockholders
of the United Press OF New York were
defrauded out of considerable profit
during four or five years when the
United Press of Illinois was making
money. There are also certain valu-
able telegraph contracts which the
complainant maintains should be used
for the benefit of the New York com
pany alone, and an attempt Will be
made to prevent what is claimed to
be an unlawful and fraudulent use of
these by the Illinois company

IN THE HOUSE.
The Most Important Session for Many
Days.


Washington, Oct 24.--Mallory. of
Florida. called up and had passes q
bill to amend the revised statutes so
as to include the engineers and assist
ant engineers in the list of officers of
the United States war vessels as ranlk-
ing among those required by the exist
ing laws, to be citizens of this country.
The debate on the bankruptcy bill was
| resumed benson, of Alabama, took
| the floor in opposition to 1t, and des-
cribed at length the depression Of the
debtor class, which he ascribes largely
to the decentralization of silver. He
grew heated and there was lively al
tercation Patterson, of Tennessee, OBJ
iected to the statement that the ad-
ministration sought to eliminate silver
from circulation, and Bland affirmed
that If the Wilson bill passes, the sill
yer in circulation would have 10 De
redeemed in the mould, as the green
backs were.
The democratic repealers OF the house
to the number of 23 had a meeting
this morning. There was o discussion
as to the situation in the senate. and
the methods the friends of repeal
should take when the repeal bill reach
ed the house, but no action was con-
sidered advisable, and the meeting ad-
iourned subject to the call of the chair
man. There Is O. disposition among
the repeal democrats of the house to
concur with the amendments to the
Wilson BILL If it comes over in the
shape now known as the Voorhees, bill.
The recognized leaders of repeal say
that there is nothing in the voorhees,
bin that differs from the Wilson bill
except the declaration to the effect
that II Is the policy of the United States
to use both gold and silver as standard
money, and II that is satisfactory to
the senate, they are willing to adopt
IT. The repeal republicans say that
they are willing to support any bill
which the repeal republicans OF the
senate endorse. The disposition In the
house is not to delay the passage Of
the bill by asking for conference or
by disagreeing with the voorhees, Dill.
Further than this, there Is a tendency
to encourage concurrence In the SEN
ate bill. The silver men realize tnat
my fight by them would mean dereat
in the end, and they will probably CON
tent themselves with voting against
the bill after short debate.
After the silver bill comes the matter
,f adjournment, or, as some prefer TO
call IL recess The difference OF
r.inic1 over recess" or adjournment
involves the question OF mileage. some
think that IL the adjournment Is taken
now. the members would again be en-
titled to their mileage for regular
session, while recess would prevent
mileage being allowed. Others main
tain that mileage for both sessions
must be allowed whether II is called
-, adio,,rnrnant or n recess.

There are two facts which, if fairly

The above is fair specimen of the spe-

A Congressman's Mail.

Aside from the congressman's regular
duties in committee and on the floor of the
house. his correspondence hitherto has
consumed the lions share of his time, di-
rectly or by consequence As a rule nearly
every letter received by him entails the
writing of three letters on his part-first,
one Of acknowledgment; second, one OF
inquiry, addressed TO some official in one
of the departments, and, third, one an
nouncing the result to the constituent. In
addition, the departments have to be Wis
tied frequently in search Of information
and many other errands have to be per
formed by the statesman who would faith
fully represent his people.
The daily mail Of some Of the leading
congressman. and even of some of the most
obscure ones, often amounts to so. 75 or 100
letters, chiefly of an official nature. If a
representative undertook to answer them
himself and supply the wants expressed in
them by their writers, he would find it alb
solutely impossible to do anything else On
the other hand, If he attempted to perform
his broader duties by participating in the
discussions and legislation of the day, he
would have to leave his letters unopened

A New Way to Avoid Colds,

For many years my occupation took me
to crowded political and labor meetings,
generally held in rooms destitute Of any
means of ventilation. The heat was in
tense, the air fetid and poisonous. l have
left such meetings bathed in perspiration
and plunged into the chill air Of a winters
night, thereby running the risk of catching
the severest cold. Yet, strange to say,
enjoyed singular immunity from such
aggravating ailments.
At the first touch of cold air l took a
deep inspiration and then held my breath
for half a minute, in the meantime walk
ing as fast as l could. During that half
minute the pores Of the skin were closed
against the chilling atmosphere, and by the
time the lungs called for reinvigoration
the body had considerably cooled, and the
risk Of chill was over.
Irecommend this practice to public speak.
ers, vocalists, entertainers and those who
are obliged to frequent unduly heated
rooms. In my own case the practice never
failed, and although fully believed in its
value never understood thareason of it
until a learned scientist came forward with
the remarkable theory that while holdirg
the breath the skin could be maintained

ness Miller Monthly.
