Excuse me, Mr.. MITCHELL am sorry
to disturb you, but the fact is, this
house is on fire."
This declaration made to John Mitch
ell of the Hollenbeck hotel a couple OF
days ago in the most matter of fact
manner imaginable was the signal for a
half-hour of more than mild excite
ment.
Mr.. Mitchell was sitting at his desk,
the center of great deal Of work, and
he noticed a man come to the door a
couple of times as If hesitating whether
or not to disturb him. Then he am
nounced that the house was on fire.
Mr.. Mitchell began to investigate at
once and found that the switchboard in
the telephone exchange was ON fire.
Smoke was ascending from the board,
the telephone operator had jumped up
and was calling for aid, people stood
around in the corridors not knowing
what to make of it and general confu-
sion prevailed. The fire apparatus OF
the house was brought and the fire was
eXtinguished before any real damage
was done. The telephone company was
notified and Il was found that the in
sulation had worn off some Of the wires
and this had caused the smoke. The

NEVER GUARANTEED BONDS
Southern Pacific official Discusses
Houston-El paso Line

HouStonsEl PaSo Line
BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 30.-The South
ern Pacific Railway company never
guaranteed nor in any way became
bound to pay interest on the income
bonds of the Galveston, Harrisburg &
San Antonio Railway company, accord
ing to a statement issued today by Alex
ander Miller, secretary of the Southern
Pacific, with reference to the suit
which has been begun against the COM
pany at Austin, Texas.
The suit was brought by the Crocker
heirs of California to enjoin the pay
ment of Southern Pacific dividends un-
til such time as the company sees f1t to
pay interest on the second mortgage
bonds of the Galveston, Harrisburg &s
San Antonio railway.
Mr. Miller says:
"The Galveston, Harrisburg e. San
Antonio Railroad company is Texas
corporation which owns and operates
a railroad from Houston to Ell Paso.
The Southern Pacific company owns
it's stock, but does not possess or ope-
rate its railroad as it does the roads
west of El Paso and Ogden. The laws
of Texas prohibit foreign corporations
from operating railroads in that state
but not from owning stock.
The bonds in question are second
of the road between San Antonio and
Ell Paso. They were issued in 1881 to a
construction company and through the
construction company found their way
into the hands of Huntington, Crocker,
Stanford and Hopkins interests, then in
control of both companies. The inter-
est originally was obligatory but it
was never earned and the semi-annual
defaults and the great accumulation
of nnnAi6 cOnnOnS intprfprinQ q
with the marketing of the five per cent
bonds upon the same line which were
held by the owners of these bonds, so
that in 1891 they deemed it to their in
terest to waive the obligatory feature
and the unpaid interest and convert
them into mere income bonds.
There has been absolutely no change
in the methods of accounting since the
owners of these bonds parted with their
control of the road. Much of the ter
Iitory t6aversed by the line is unpro-
ductive and has never earned the inter-
est on these bonds.
There has been an annual deficit
which, however, has been lessening
and the Southern Pacific company to
protect it's interest in the stock has ad-
vanced from time to time the money
necessary to make up the interest on
the first mortgage bonds.
THE road has never contributed a
dollar to dividends upon the stock of
the Southern Pacific company and the
company has never guaranteed nor in
any way become bound to pay interest
on these bonds of the Texas company
and just what obligation, legal or NOR
al, it is under with respect to them,
particularly in the hands Of those who
issued them, or what connection the
Southern Pacific company dividends
has with them, we are unable to say

Oregon Invasion

localities believe the Hill interests of
the Astoria & Columbia River road are
to form the opening wedge in the in

is thought to mean the abandonment
of Portland as the Hill terminal, and
the first step in building line down
the coast to Tillamook and beyond
through the rich dairy section of the
coast mountains and the anxiety to get
people to settle in Oregon is becoming
very much in earnest, say those who

MOVING Bumper Corn Crop

OF the immense crop of corn of last
year, which was considered bumper
crop, 225,0O0,000 bushels only have been
moved, and it is easily seen that the
railroads are going to be swamped
worse than ever before unless the next
crop should be failure, in which case
prices would likely go up and export.
as we'll as home shipments, would be
large. There never was a greater de-
mand for cars than at the present time,
and the roads are permitting as many
cars as they can possibly spare to be
utilized in moving this crop.

Aunt Sally's Peddler.

Aunt Sally Warner was a physlogno-
mist. When a peddler offered her
goods she looked him in the face in
stead Of at bis wares and usually told
him to go on.
One day peddler came by whom
she looked In the face and said:
You are the only honest peddler I
have seen in ten years. You can bring
me In six milk pans"
"But how do you know that / am
honestT uueried the man, wondering
IL she was making game Of him.
BY your looks"
All tin peddlers buy sheepsklns.
Aunt Sally had one nailed up on the
barn door, and after a BIT Of chaffering
about the price she went out to get 1t,
leaving the man on the piazza. When
she returned the exchange was effected
and the peddler departed. He thanked
her for her compliments and conf
dence, and he was told to call again
II he came that way There was no
ruction until about shutdown. Then
Aunt Sally discovered that silverware,
cutlery and other things were missing,
1t had taken her about fifteen min
utes to get the sheepskin, during which
time the peddler was alone on the
piazza She figured 1t out in her own
mind that no one else could have taken
the STUFF, and she vowed to have him
pursued to the ends Of the earth. Nev-
ertheless when the hired man agreed
with her and said 1t was straight
case she bristled up and replied:
"Jim Davis, you are FOOL That
peddler never took 'em. I'll wager my
life he's an honest man. Some one
must have climbed into a window and
robbed the house"
The hired man smiled pityingiy and
disdainfully, but had nothing further
to say. That night, however, without
a hint to Aunt Sally, he set a country
constable on the trail. Next morning,
without word to him, the widow went
to the village to consult the authori-
Z. ties The justice OF the peace and the
I prosecuting attorney agreed with the
hired man. They pointed out the fact
that it would have been utterly inn
possible for any one else to commit
l the crime, In her heart she thought
I so, too, but her reputation as a physi.
ognomist was at stake, and she turned
on them with;
You are a couple Of idiots to talk as
you do. The peddler is as innocent as
babe. What you want to do is to
look for a beetle browed man with a
straight nose and a weak chin"
They looked for the peddler instead,
and they found him. He was brought
back In tears. They didn't find the
goods on him. but he almost confessed
