BOTH ROADS WILL
USE SAME TRACK
Hartman and EarIIng Make Agree.
ment Covering Northwest.
May Mean Truce Among All Systems
of Northwest - Hill May Make
Concessions to Harriman-End of
Fight for Territory in Sight-Sav-
ing in Construction.

Chicago, April 3.-There will be no
contest between the st. Paul road and
the Hartman lines over territory to
be occupied by either interest in the
Pacific Northwest. This was decided
during the brief visit of Edward H.
Hartman in Chicago Wednesday.
While in his private car, which stood
in the Park Row station of the Illinois.
Central road, Mr.. Hartman was visit
ed by President A. J. Earring, of the,
st. Paul road, and arrangements were
completed for the joint use of certain
tracks by the St. Paul and the Harri-
man lines.
Although none of the officials inte-
rested in the deal would say anything
concerning it, it is understood that the
tentative agreement will obviate the
necessity of Mr.. Harriman's building a
line between Seattle and Tacoma, as
he contemplated doing as a part of his
line from Portland to Seattle. The
two men had only few moments con-
versation, but it was sufficient to
clinch an agreement regarding which
they had talked several times before.
In this connection also it is stated
that the conference between Mr.. Harri-
man and Louis w. Hill in San Fran
cisco is likely to result in a better un-
derstanding between the Hill and Har-
riman lines in the Pacific Northwest.
1t is stated that all three interests
realize the benefit which would come.
should there be a truce among them
with respect to territorial aggression
in the Northwest. AS the price of
peace, however, Mr.. Hartman is said
to insist upon the opening to his lines
of the Portland gateway, and it is
thought by many that concessions will
be made in this direction by the Hill
people.

Pacific Mai. Liner Founders in Mag
daIena Bay.


San Francisco, April 6.-According 6.
to advices received by the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, the steamer Indi-
ana, bound from Mazatlan to San Fran
cisco, went ashore during heavy fog
in Magdalena bay last night and is still
on the rocks. The passengers and
their personal baggage and the mail

of the Pacific fleet, and the tugs For
tune and Navajo. The passengers have
been placed aboard the ships of the
fleet and will be picked up by the City
of Sydney, which leaves Acapulco for
Magdalena bay tomorrow.
The statement issued by the Pacific
Mail company says that the Indiana is
ashore on Cape Tosco, the Southern ex-
tremity of Santa Marguerite bay. She
is resting easily on a rocky bottom and
protected from the sea and westerly
winds.
The Indiana sailed from Mazatlan
yesterday and carries valuable cargo
for this port. The messages received
by her owners say that the water is IA
feet deep in hold No. /, 16 feet in hold
No. 2, IL feet in hold No. and IA
feet in hold No. 4.
The company estimates the value of
the ship and cargo at 100000.

SYSTEMATIC NOTE DESIGNS,
Government to Do Away With Many
Now in Use.

Washington, April 6. - Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Coolidge has
approved plan for systematizing de-
signs for United States notes and coin
certificates, thus securing uniformity
in portrait and general design.
At present there are 19 different de-
signs for United States notes and coin
certificates of various denominations,
leading to confusion and uncertainty.
Under the new plan there will be but
nine.
The 81 silver certificate will carry
the portrait of Washington, the 81 sill
yer certificate the portrait of Jeffer-
son. The SIS note, whether silver cer-
tifcate or greenback, will carry the
portrait of Lincoln. The $40 gold and
silver certificate and United States
note, that Of Cleveland; the 500 that
of Jackson; the $50 that of Grant
the 500 that of Franklin; the $500
that of Salmon P. Chase; the 81, 600
that of Alexander Hamilton.
The portraits of Hil!egas, Monroe,
Silas Wright, Lewis w. Clark, Mans
field and others will be eliminated. The
eagle, the buffalo and the Indian head,
which have proved to be easily coun-
terfeited, also will disappear. All
will be done away with.

VETERANS At A..Y.-P.
Various Organizations Planning for
Big Time This Summer.

Dig lime MS Summer.
The nations war veterans, and tn,
sons and wives and daughters Of them
are carrying out big plans for represen
tation at the Alaska Yukon Pacific ex
position. The military order of the
Loyal Legion has preempted five acr.

quarters. The Grand Army of the Re
public will be represented and 80 will
the Sons of Veterans, the Ladies of the
G. A. r. and the Women's Relief Corps.
Early in the year the Loyal Legior
entered into correspondence with the
War department at Washington with
the result that it has secured splendid
equipment and has already established
headquarters tents and a model head.

Around the camp the governments out

relics of the unpleasantness with Spain.
so that the visitor to headquarters will
be confronted by big modern 12-inch
rifles as we'll as cannonades of the
Eighteenth century, picked up on the
beach in Manila bay.
Local G. A. r. posts are expecting a
heavy attendance at the exposition
from among the nations old time fight
ing men, for the reason that the grand
encampment takes place in Salt Lake
City early in August a I'd the railroads
have announced lower rates than ever
before from Eastern points to the ex-
position. Under the tickets offered by
the transcontinental roads it will be
possible for the veteran to take passage
through to Seattle and stop off for the
encampment without extra cost, and
that thousands will do so is already
made evident by letters received by
officers of the Grand Army and Loyal
Legion in this city.
1t will be open house at Grand Army
and Loyal Legion headquarters through

and events have been arranged in their
honor. The state encampment of the

brations at the exposition.

Watches United States

London, April 5.-S TRANCE as it may
seem to Americans. the campaign for
naval increase, conducted with aston
ishing success in all parts of this coun-
try, is based secondarily upon the con-
clusions drawn from the Washington
program. In the Navy Leagues circu-
lar it is pointed out that the Omitted
States has six Dreadnaughts building
and two projected, total of eight, 4"
and this, together with the German
program, "gives FL large armored
ships for the United States and Ger
many, with % for Great Britain"

ACTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Suit to Dissolve Standard Oil Will Go
to Supreme Court.

Suit to Dissolve Standard Oil Will Gt
to Supreme Court.
Washington, April 6.-The hearing
in the case of the United States
against the Standard Oil company,
of New Jersey, which will be begun
before the United States Circuit court
in St. Louis tomorrow, is one of the
most important and far-reaching civil
actions that has ever come up for trial
in this country. The bill of complaint
on the part of the United States,
charging violation of the Sherman
antitrust law, was filed in November,
1906. The Standard Oil company. of
New Jersey, the parent organization,
together with its various subsidiary
corporations; John D. Rockefeller,
Henry M. Flagler, Henry R. Rogers,
John D. Archbold, Oliver P. Payne and
Charles M. Pratt are charged with hav-
ing entered into an agreement, COM
binatlon and conspiracy to restrain
trade and commerce among the several
states, to monopolize trade and COM
merce in the purchase of petroleum
and in the distribution, sale and ship
ment of the products of petroleum.
The United States seeks perpetually
to enjoin the defendants from doing
any act looking to carrying out the al
legged combination or conspiracy and to
dissolve the Standard Oil combination.
The government concluded its testi-
mony on January 21, 1909. About 400
witnesses were examined, approx
mately 200 appearing for each side.
The issue is so important, that,
whatever may be the result of the trial
by the Circuit court, the case certainly
will be appealed to the United States
Supreme court.

New Town is Planned,

Roseburg-One of the largest real
estate deals concluded in this county
for some time was the sale of a large
tract of land by F. B. Waite to a party
of Minneapolis bankers and capitalists.
The consideration was $54, 1000, and the
land comprises several hundred acres.
1t is situated about 10 miles south of
Roseburg on the South Umpqua river.
The purchasers, it is said, will erect 20
summer cottages in the near future.
A new city will be started if the pans
of the owners materialize.

Loses Much Coal Land.

Helena, Mont, April Sin the
United States court today Judge Hunt
declared null and void the title of the
Northern Pacific railroad to 1900 acres
of coal land in Carbon county. valued
at 81, 600 an acre. The government
instituted suit to recover the lands be-
cause of their mineral character. Judge
Hunt in his decision held that, though
cl assified as non-mineral, it was well
known that they contained coal before
they were entered upon.

Big Strike Ordered.

Mcleod, Alberta, April 3.-The In
ternational Federation of Miners today
ordered strike on all in all the mines
of Southern Alberta, in East British
Columbia, as result of its failure to
reach an agreement with the employ
ers on a wage scale. Since Hill se-
cured control of the Crows Nest Pass
Coal company, he granted an increase
in wages to his men, and the other OPP
orators assert that this precipitated
the strike. Two years ago a serious
fuel famine resulted in the adjacent
provinces when these miners struck.

Moisture is Plentiful.

Dufur-Crop prospects for this vi
cinity are better this spring than they
have been for many years. The hard
freeze of last winter put the ground in
first class shape. The heavy SHOWS
and rains afforded an unusual amount
of moisture and there have been but
few winds during March to dry the
ground out. Growing grasses and
grain are profiting thereby. The acre
age this year is also greater than for
several years.

FIRE At FT. WORTH.
Large Section Of exas City Burned
and Thousands Homeless.

Fort Worth, Tex, April Start
ing in barn, presumably from care.
lessly thrown cigarette, fire Saturday
afternoon destroyed property in the
southern portion of Fort Worth conser-
vatively valued at $2,5OO,0O0, caused
the death of one person, j. ]. Newton,
of Krum, Tex, and rendered several
thousand persons homeless.
The fire originated at Jennings aven-
ue and Peter Smith street, in the cen
ter of fashionable residence district,
and, famed by stiff wind, was be-
yond control in Is minutes. Spreading
to the south, it burned its way through
80 blocks and continued until it had
swept through the yards of the Texas
& Pacific railroad, burning the railroad
buildings and large amount of rolling
stock, where the fire practically burned
itself out.
Three church buildings, the Broad
way Baptist and Presbyterian and the
Swedish chapel, were among the build
ings burned, as was the Presbyterian
sanitarium. The patients of the latter
institution were all removed in safety.
The Texas & Pacific railroad suffered
the largest individual loss. Fourteen
locomotives were reduced to twisted
masses of steel and iron and several
hundred boxcars, besides the round
house and other buildings of the road
were destroyed.
The Texas & Pacific estimates the
loss to the road at $3.50, 900, while the
damage to the church property is esti-
mated at 100000
The fire swept area was patrolled by
armed guards to prevent looting, while
the owners of the burned buildings
gathered what they could of their
household effects and sought shelter
for the night wherever it could be
found. The livestock building and au-
ditorium at the fair grounds provided a
temporary abode for many, while
others slept in vacant houses or accept
ed the hospitality of Dallas and nearby
cities,
