BIG RAILROAD DEAL
 DIVIDES SOUTHWEST LOvett and Ripley Combine to Shut Out Competing
 Lines
Southern Pacific Control of San Diego and Arizona Branch Officially An nounced-Gould and Rock Island ln
 terests Headed of From Pacific Coast Outlets. y

According to a circumstantial and evidently authorized story in the Los Angeles Times of a deal made by Robert s. Lovett and E. P. Ripley, the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe have agreed to a division of territory and joint use of lines in the South west.
 By the terms of the conference, the Southern Pacific is permitted to break the Santa Fe monopoly at San Diego by connecting the old Tia Juana line recently purchased by the Southern Pacific from the Dobbins interests through forced sale, with the South ern Pacific lines now operated in the Imperial Valley and connecting with the main line at Yuma. This will give the Southern Pacific and the Spreck- els interests in San Diego a shorter outlet to the East, and will obviate the long Santa Fe haul through Los Angeles, besides doing away with the heavy grades. It will also give the Southern Pacific a short line from the coast to the gulf for competition with the Panama Canal.
 As result of the recent tour of inspection through Arizona and the recommendation offered by Epes Randolph, who is in control of the Phoenix and Eastern and the other Southern Pacific interests in Arizona, Lovett and Ripley have formally di- vided Arizona.
 By the terms of this division the Southern Pacific, taking up the San Diego line at Yuma, will use the reg ular Fl Paso line as far as the june tion to Phoenix.
 In return for the Santa Fe's keep. ing it's hands off this building, the Southern Pacific gives the Santa Fe the advantage of the Santa Fe cutoff between Bengal and Parker, and gives the Phoenix short line trade with the Pacific Coast to the Ripley system.
 This agreement practically divides the Territory, with it's mining and az ricultural resources in half, and gives the Southern Pacific an opening with the Santa Fe into Southwestern Colo rado.
 In a word the whole railway map of the West was considered at the meeting of Ripley and Lovett and the empire of the Southwest has been di- vided between them. If the Gould system attempts to build into this part of the country it will meet with cold reception, and will find as many traf- fic points as possible closed to Gould trade.
 It was for this reason that the San ta Fe permitted the Southern Pacific to build the Durango Denver cut of, as this will prevent the Denver and Rio Grande from coming south into Arizona and New Mexico, while the San Diego Imperial Valley-Yuma line of the Southern Pacific prevents the Phelps Dodge Rock Island lines from getting to the Coast through this ter ritory.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health Is Worth Saving, and SOmt
Hood River People Know
How To HnYe IL.

Many Hood River people take
their lives in their hands by neglect
ing the kidneys when they know these
organs need help. Sick kidneys are
responsible for a vast amount OF
suffering and ill health, but there IL
no need TO suffer nor to remain In
danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can
be quickly and permanently cured
by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
j. g. Buckler, Ut h Ninth st, Port.
iaLd, Ore, say: Sin my estimation
there is no remedy equal to Doan 3
Kidney Pills. There was a constant
soreness across the small of my back
and STOPPING or lifting would cause
sharp twinges in that part OF my
body. | tried one remedy after an
other but without result. When
Doan's Kidney Pills we've brought to
my attention, l procu ed supply and
was benefited by them from the first.
| continued their use aud they soon
completely removed the pain from
my back and corrected the action OF
the kidney secretion, which had been
somewhat irregulai." Plenty more
proof like this from Hood River peo-
pie. Call at O. N. Clarke's drug store
and ask what customers report.
