HILL WILL DEVELOP STATE,
Has Extensive Plans for Coast, But
Cannot Divulge Them

Portland, May 4.-Beyond encourag-
ing intimations concerning future rail
road construction in Oregon and admit
ting the ownership of the United Rail
ways and Oregon Electric systems,
James j. Hill yesterday declined to
make any statement relative to his
plans or requirements in this state.
While promising that before he
leaves the city he will make a further
statement, Mr.. Hill insists that more
or less reticence is necessary in the
carrying out of plans which require
the purchase of rights Of way and other
property.
''If ! told all that we intend to do in
Oregon, there would be perhaps so
persons who would try to jump in
ahead of us at each point to gain some
unjust advantage or profit at our ex-
pense., said the railroad magnate.
"Will you say whether an east and
west line is to be built across the
state" was asked.
"No; that is a matter that l
cannot discuss at this time" he re-
piled.
The solid through train between
Portland and st. Paul will be known as
'"The Oregonian." President Hill, of
the Great Northern, said that it was
desired to have the name "Oregon"
somewhere in the title that will be
given to the new limited service, but
the shorter form of the wcrd had been

favorable report on the Hamer bill,

DUTCH ARCHITECTURE HONEST.
Houses of Holland Designed More
for Service than for Show.

Houses of Holland Designed More
for Service than for show.
The architecture of Holland could
be summed up in the one word, honest.
Pretense Is altogether lacking, but to
many people this is far from being a
fault. The influence Of Germany has
been greatly felt, owing, of course, to
the close proximity of that country.
The French feeling has also found its
way into the Netherlands for the same
reason; but the Italian influence has
rarely been known, and It's absence is
always to be deprecated, says the De-
lineator.
The Dutch are neat, thrifty peo-
pie and their houses express to a
marked degree many Of their traits.
In the cities and small towns, for In
stance, the trim rows of private dwell
ings are particularly attractive, though
built primarily for comfort and de.
void of much adornment.
While Dutch house exteriors may
not invariably please the eye, it must
be remembered that the Hollanders
have greatly atoned for their lack of
artistic feeling here by splendid
sense of interior decorating. Witness,
for instance, their passion for delft,
porcelain and other ceramics, and the
uses to which they have put them in
their schemes for interiors.
They cannot, then. be called
wholly inartistic people. Their homes,
on the contrary, are worthy of the
closest study; and the duplication Of
Dutch house, inside and out, should
prove a fascinating idea. A Dutch
kitchen, for example, is always de-
and the same feeling, car
ried through the entire house, would
make something rarely distinctive in
this country.

Washington, May 3.-In view of the
overwhelming vote in the house today
in support of the long and short haul
clause of the Mann interstate COM
merce bill, advocates of the Dixon
amendment in the senate have taken
heart and declare tonight that they
will have enough votes to force its
adoption.
There are several senators who be-
lieve the amendment cannot be adopted
in its present rigid form, but will first
have to be modified to conform more
nearly to the house provision, which
gives the Interstate Commerce com
mission discretionary authority to per-
init heavier charge for a short
haul than for long haul.
The situation in the senate has sud-
denly become so complicated that it is
difficult to forecast what the outcome
of the vote on the Dixon amendment
will be, but opponents of that provis-
ion are today less confident of defeat
ing it than they were week ago.

widths and would be virtually excluded
from Eastern markets if that bill
should pass.

EDWARD0F ENGLAND.
Passes 10 Rest After Brief and
Peaceful Reign.
Severe Cold Brings Bronchitis, Which
Develops Pneumonia-Wa Ill
Only Six Days.

London, May Z, 5''A. Mixing Ed
ward VII died from pneumonia at II AS
last night at Buckingham Palace, and
at the same moment the crown and
scepter of the Empire Of Great Britain
passed automatically to his son and
heir, Prince George of Wales, now
George V.
Death struck down the mightiest
hereditary ruler of the world with as
little compunction as if his victim had
been the meanest of that kings sub
jects. The prayers of the whole ma
tion, bound to its monarch by CEN
turies of tradition and by love born
of complete and intimate knowledge
of that rulers foibles, almost as much
as of his great virtues, availed to stay
the hand of the Reaper not one jot.
King Edward died almost before his
subjects had begun to realize that he
was seriously i'll. He was taken sick
week ago. After three days a SER
ious complication began to develop.
The fourth day his physicians issued
bulletin that stirred the whole nation
to its depts. On the sixth day the
king was dead.
The shock to Great Britain and to
the world had been tremendous, not in
a national way, for the death of the
king has been discounted in the mar
kets for many years, but to the en-
pire's sentimentality. King Edward
was sincerely loved throughout the
length and breadth Of England's
possessions.
He was loved as great son Of no
BILE mother, and he was loved for him
self because he had in his character
that rare commingling of democratic
simplicity with kingly dignity which
made him justly the first gentleman
of Great Britain"
Politically, the death of Edward VII
contains grave potentialities. The
commons is now engaged in reform
ing the house of lords" To Edward a
liberal ministry had looked with conf
dence for the creating of such peers as
would carry out the will of the people
as expressed at the last election. Now
new king steps forward to take Ed
wards place. What attitude he may
assume in this, the greatest political
crisis England has faced in generations,
remains problem.
Nearly all members Of the kings
immediate family we're at his bedside
when the king died. Just before the
end came, the royal patient rallied and
spoke weakly to those about him.
~ know it is all over, he said, "but
l think I've done my duty"
Those were his last words.
The first official act of the new king,
George V, was performed immediate
ly after his father had breathed his last.
He dispatched to the lord mayor of /
London the announcement of Edward
WIS death, in pursuance of an age-old
custom. His telegram read: 81 am
deeply grieved to inform you that my
beloved father, the king, passed away
peacefully at IL AS tonight.
(Signed) George"

Washington, May 5. Accommodating
the election system of his state, Sena-
tor Bourne, of Oregon, in an extended
speech in the senate today aroused gen.
eral debate on the question of repre-
sentative government which dealt es-
pecially with the effect on the Southern
states of the system of selecting Fed
.eral officials for that section.
Bourne dwelt in terms of admiration
on the methods of conducting elections
and selecting officerholders in Oregon.
He declared that Oregon had "evolved
the best form of popular government
in the world today" and defended the
election of his Democratic colleague,
Chamberlain, by Republican legisla-
ture.
Representative Knowland of Califor-
MIA, offered an amendment to the rail-
road bill today, providing that when a
railroad in competition with a water
route lowered rate, it should not be
permitted to increase the rate until, in
a hearing before the Interstate com
merce commission, it had shown a rea-
son Tor the Increase aside from the
water route.
Democrats, insurgents and some reg
ular Republicans, even members of the
committee reporting the measure, sup
ported Mr.. Knowland's amendment,
which, it was said, would prevent
railroad from eliminating water route
competition by low rate and then in
creasing the rate as soon as the COM
petition was removed. By loo to n
the amendment was adopted.

That George V will leave any deep

Washington, May 6.-The house to-
day rejected the Washburn amendment
to the railroad bill, providing that sec
tion IL, prohibiting acquisition of COM
peting lines, "shall not affect any
leases of railroad property made prior
to January l, 1910, for period of 20
years. The Adamson amendment to
the same section, exempting any rail-
roads entirely within one state, was
defeated, 121 to 144. The house then
struck out the entire section IL of the
railroad bill, prohibiting the acquisi-
tion of the stock of competing lines.
The vote was 131 to 1913. The mo-
tion was made by Adamson, of Geor-
gia, in charge of the Democratic side.
Carrying an aggregate appropriation
of $241, 900, 900, the postoffice appro-
priation bill was passed today by
the senate, after 40 minutes consider
alton. The measure went through
without change from the form in which
it was reported from committee.
The house rejected the Sulzer
amendment to the anti-merger section,
striking out the words common car
riers" from the section. The purpose
of the amendment, Mr.. Sulzer ex-
planned, was to make it apply to such
holding companies as the Northern
Securities company.

Washington, May IA subcommit-
tee Of the Indian affairs committee
met in Chamberlain's office today and
voted to report to the full committee
Wednesday for Chamberlain's Siletz
bill, omitting the requirement to pay

entrymen were honest there was no
reason why they should be assessed
that sum. The subcommittee also
omitting the clause denying protection
to purchasers from original homestead
ers.
A general investigation into the
cause Of the i'll health Of senators soon
will be in order. No less than eight
of the members of the highest legisla-
tive body in the world are on the sick
list, including Senator Daniel of Vir-
ginia, McCumber of North Dakota,
Tillman of South Carolina, Depew of
New York and Penrose of aPennsylvan-
ia.
The idea that the trouble is due to
too much insurgency is not tenable, as
the patients are not among those who
find it necessary to take this insurgent
business very much to heart.
The epidemic of retirement among
senatorial leaders may perhaps be at
tributed to this cause, however. The

almost unrecognizable after March A,
