RESTRICTION OF TWENTY FIVE YEARS PLACED

Activity of Company Confirms Sale of Holdings of
Northwestern Corporation to Capitalists
Represented by Byllesby Company. !

That ByIIesby & Company have
bought the Northwestern Corporation
is confirmed by the special meeting of
the County Commissioners today, called
at the request of the chief counsel of
the corporation from Portland, e. w.
Hardy, for the purpose of getting the
different franchises of the company
into one franchise with no time limit.
The company has some short line ex-
tensions to which they have had no
franchise, and the franchises for the
rest of their lines are scattered over
the records of the county since 100,
when first started by e. S. Isaacs and
Barrett and others.
Although they will not say so def
niteIy, the fact that the officials of the
Northwestern Corporation are getting
the abstracts and title deeds to their
property into shape and have asked for
a no time limit on their city franchises
seems to further corroborate the story
published in the Statesman that the
holdings have been sold.

Will Legalize Merger That
Is Against Interests
of the People
TANGLED VERBIAGE
HAS COME CLEAR
Defeats Purpose of Bill
And Permits Roads to
Consolidate.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-(Special
to the Statesman.)-As the result OF
the discovery of joker in the Taft in
terstate commerce bill which, it is al
lc9ed, will Iegalize the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific merger, a bitter fight
is looming ahead for that measure.
It was only recently that Senators
Cummins and Clapp condemned this
bill in minority report. They held that
it created a useless court, reduces au-
thority of the interstate commerce
commission, and does not prevent the
over-capitalization of railroads.
Although the two senators had gone
through the Abill very carefully, they
overlooked one of the craftiest jokers
in the bill, which a prominent lawyer,
commerce and Sherman anti-trust acts
has just called to their attention.
Following is the provision which it
is declared will give legality to the
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merg-
ef, which is dragging in the courts un-
til this bill can become a law.
THAT nothing in this section con-
tained shall operate to prevent any
such corporation which at the date Of
the passage of this act owns not less
than one-half of the enti1ie issued and
railroad corporation from acquiring
any of the remainder of such stock, nor
to prevent any such corporation which

Proving that Walla Wallans inter-
ested in recent railway movements in
the west have been correct in their
theory that the mysterious North Coast
road is but a silent partner of some
great transdontinental system, Col. F.
J. Parker, who is in the city this week,
said this morning he had gained the
information from a reliable source,
which he cannot at this time divulge,
that the North Coast and the Chicago
& Northwestern are one and the same.
The colonel is in close touch with de-
velopment work in the location of new
lines through this section, and recent
ly gave the first information of the
transfer of the holdings of the North
western Corporation to the Byslsy in
terests.
The Chicago & Northwestern is now
completed as far west as Lander, Wy
oming, from which place the survey
is said to extend westward through
Idaho, and thence across the noun
tains into this valley, passing west
ward toward KenneWick, where the
million dollar bridge of the so-called
North Coast road, is now in course OF
construction. The plan of pushing
operations in various sections of the
west isl done apparently in an endeav-
or to disguise the real intentions of the
promoters, and several of the lines
which have been given excessive publi-
city as independent concerns, are now
known to start nowhere and end no.

In support of the information, which
was given Colonel Parker in conf

In an interview with J. G. Anderson
this afternoon, it was definitely learn
ed that there is absolutely no truth
in the story that a man by the name
of Williams had purchased the Nc
Kean building and the one next to it
for $4,000. Mr.. Anderson said that
the man had come and tried to buy
it and entered into verbal contract and
that this morning he was to sign the
papers. At 9 o'clock he phoned and
said he would be back at 10. Then ne
phoned and delayed the deal longer
and finally disappeared. 1t is pro-
bable that he left the city on the 9:So
train. Mr.. Anderson says he is

Franchise Granted.

After the company representatives
had finished their case and the COM
missioners had duly considered the
satle, the county commissioners grant,
ed the corporation a twenty-five year
franchise on the lines which the COM
pany now has cars in operation. The
only restriction placed on the corpora
tion was that they are 20 keep their
line on the Milton interurban line. They
were also restricted to live up 20 the
orders of the commissioners and the
county engineer as to their grades and
the way they keep up the lines. This
in order to make the tracks as little
cause of annoyance to any teaming
that may have to pass alon gthem.
The officials Of the corporation say
they are pleased with the result of the
meeting and expressed their intention
to live up to their promises.
C. C. Gose, one of the company's at
torneys, first outlined to the commits
sioners just what the Corporation de-
sire6. He said no new franchises were
asked for, nor were any extensions be-
yond what were already in use and
what were already franchised, desired.
BIr. Gose spoke briefly of the benefits
to the public at large. He said that the
franchises were all loose on the records
of the commissioners and it would be
advantageous to have them included
within one general franchise so that
the county would clearly understand
what had been granted, 1t being mere
ly a rearrangement Of the franchises,
and no added rights or privileges were
asked In other words, the Northwest
err Corporation desires to get their
franchises all aggregated into one rec
ord instead Of being scattered over the
records of the office.

On the Taft Humphrey ship subsidy
bill, which provides for an annual sub
sidy of approximately $5,00O,000 Mr..
Underwood advocated a five per cent
discriminatory duty in favor of mer-
chandise carried in American ships as
the best method of solving the problem
of the declining American merchant
marine, explaining that one of the ad-
vantages Of this method was that it
would not mean increased taxation of
the masses for the benefit of special
interests.
"a reduction Of the tariff of five per
cent on all goods imported into the
United States in American Ships" said
Mr. Underwood, would give the Amer
ican shipowner an advantage over the
foreign shipowner in payment of duties
of from s1O,O0O,O0O to $15,000,O0O annu-
ally. This would not fall as burden on
American shipowner to charge nearly
the amount of the discriminating duty
as additional freight rates, but it
would not increase the cost of goods
imported in this country a dollar over
what they are today. 1t would not take
dollar out of the federal treasury,
and, in my judgment, it is the only eff
