the city attorney draw up a resolu-
tion placing the Boulevard park row
and the Plaza lawn triangle under

Indications Of
New Railroads

The first evidence of coming re-
vival of railway construction on
considerable scale in the northwest
was afforded in Portlnad last Thurs
day by the organization of the Ore
gon, California & Eastern railway,
designed to supply some 400 miles
of standard gauge lines for central
Oregon and adjacent territory, at an
estimated expenditure of $7000,0OO.
Some forty leading bankers, mer-
chants and others, including j. c..
Ainsworth, A. l.. Mills, William M.
Ladd, Emery Olmstead, julius Meier,
Theodore B. Wilcox, II. G. Wort
man, Adolphe Wolfe, H. l.. Pittock,
William Il. Woodward and Nathan
Strauss met to inaugurate the enter
prises and engaged Robert E. Stra-
horn, builder and former president OF
various Hartman lines in the north
west, to head the company by assur-
ances of support.
The project, its promoters an
nounced, promises new and direct
all-rail line directly south through
central Oregon to Nevada. California
and the east, saving several hundred
miles over present routes to Reno,
Carson City and other Nevada and
northeastern California points. 1t
was said it also would open new and
rich trade territory in central Oregon
and northern California and Ne
vada.
The plan is for an east and west
line of $50 miles to connect the Har-
riman and Hill lines at Bend, with
the Oregon Short Line in Harvey val
ley, a north and south line of ITO
miles to connect Bend with the Ne
vada-C a-California-O Oregon line at Lake
view, a sixty-mile branch from the
latter in Silver Lake valley south
westerly to Kirk, the terminus of the
klamath line of the Southern Pa
cific, giving Portland and Spokane a
direct line to klamath Falls, and a
thirty-mile branch from the Lake
view line easterly to Warner valley
From reconnaissance and surveys
already far advanced, it is believed
the system can be completed and
equipped in about three years.

Mother Of Suffrage
In Oregon Passes

Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway, who,
as much as any woman, has brought
about equal suffrage in many COM
monwealths of the United States,
died a few minutes before l o'clock
Monday morning at her home in
Portland. Her S1st birthday would
have been celebrated October 22.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Duniway
underwent a minor operation on her
foot. The infection which soon af-
terward appeared could not be local
ized. She died in sleep.
Mrs. Duniway, the best known Ore
gon woman in the United States, be-
gan her life amid hardships, endured
every vicissitude of pioneer life, and,
largely because Of an accident which
made a lifelong cripple of her hus-
band, took up the work of legally
setting free the wives and mothers
of the country.
No campaigner for any cause in
America underwent more bitter an
tagonism than surrounded Mrs. Dun
iway for so long a time. For more
than forty years she never relaxed
her efforts. Again and again, even
when the cause of equal suffrage
seemed well advanced and far past
the days of general ridicule, did she
suffer defeat. But with each defeat
she strove only the harder, and she
lived to see the three northwest states
grant equal suffrage to women.
The climax of Mrs. Duniway's life
came three years ago, when she
penned the suffrage proclamation OF
the governor of Oregon. Her 18th
birthday, October 22, 1912, was pub
licly honored.
