OTHER LINES DISCUSSED Wherever There Is Business to -Justify It or a Country to Support It There Will a Rail road Bo Built, MR. HARRIMAN'S STATES rE."T. "I -will say thl: Wherever there Is business to Justify It, or country to mv port It. there we -will build a railroad. We want to do tvhat we can. More than that. I cannot say." E. H. Harriman, king of the railroad world, Is in Portland, and will make the city his abiding place until "Wednesday, If his plans 1q not change. What will come, resultant from his visit, no ono knows, except perhaps it Is himself, and he will not tell. He says he Is hero to visit, to rest and to meet his Portland friends; it Is hoped that he is here to study well the conditions, to trace with his magic finger the pathways for new railway lines, to authorize added prosper ity to the inhabitants of various districts In the state. The man who holds in his transportation-yielding hand the railroad destiny of Oregon would pass for a Portland resident on any street corner. Napoleon was small, and so is he. His clothes were gray and hid the dust of travel. His hat was soft and pulled down over sharp eyes which peer out through a pair of convex lenses in a "way that shows the owner observes the noticeable things in the passing of events. He, In appearance, is less of a magnate than the New-York-bred clerk who notes with practiced eye the proud smile of the Invited denizen of the West who skirts the fringe of the official party. But the voice points out that the railroad man is accustomed to command, and to be obeyed, that he can do things, and will when lie thinks the time has come. Harrimnn Asks Questions. Mr. Harriman and his party reached the city yesterday afternoon at 5:30, coming down on the Bailey Gatzort from The Danes. He was met at the wharf by Gen eral Manager O'Brien, W. W. Cotton and Dr. K. A. J. McKenzle, who escorted tho head oC the Harriman system and his ladles to their carriages. They were then driven to the depot, where Mr. Harri man's special train was standing. Last night the party was entertained at dinner by Dr. McKenzle. after which they went to the American Inn, which will be tholr headquarters during the stay In the city. While Mr. Cotton gave directions to the coachman the man who can mesh the state with bands of steel, talked for a moment with a representative of The Ore gonian. "Now, what do you want me to say?" he commenced as he settled back among the cushions and focused his glasses on the quostlonor. "What do you think I can talk about?" It was suggested that the people of the state would be pleased to listen to any words he might have for them to hear, especially on the Oregon railroad situation. Parries Word's Like a Fencer. "Well, I am out here to have a rest, to see the things to be seen and to meet with my friends of Portland. From hero I expect to go to San Francisco, from there to Japan, and then to the Philip pines. When I get back perhaps 1 can tell you some Celestial tales." "The people of Oregon like Celestial tales and find them interesting, but they would rather hear a railroad story now," the answer ran. "But," tho visitor parried, " in view of everything, I do not think I have any thing to say at this time." "That statement was anticipated, and Is now in type,' 'the speaker was assured, at which intelligence he smiled. "Well, what would you like for me to tell you about?" he said, resignation creeping into his tone. "The people of the atato would like to know whether you are going to extend the Columbia Southern to Bend, or far ther, and, if so, when? They would be pleased to learn if the story is true that a road Ib going to be fmmediately con structed into the Coos Bay country? They have an anxiety to be told whether or not the Northern Pacific Is going to come down the north bank of the Columbia and on into Portland, and they are very solici tous concerning the construction of an east and west line running from the end of the Corvallls & Eastern through the Cascades and across the state to On tario?" j Will Build to Coos Bay. I "Those are pretty hard questions to ask a man on such a warm day," tho answer came, and then silence reigned a second or so. "Mr. O'Brien can tell you about the Columbia Southern," Mr. Harriman con tinued, and the official referred to smiled, perhaps because he has so often said he did not know when the Columbia Southern ! would begin to grow. i "The line to Coos Bay has been deter- I mined upon and will be constructed," was J the definite answer to the second proposi tion. "Tou will have to get the Northern Pa cific to tell you about what itl&jgolng to do," was the reply to the third query. "I can't tell you Northern Pacific news." "And what is this east and west road?" "Oregon would like for you to build a road through the state from the west to the east," it was explained. May Build Other Roads. "Have you got any land or any -water out there." queried the magnate, showing that he knew something of the proposi tion, after all, and he was assured that the district -was composed of both land and water. "Well, I will say this," said Mr. Harri man. "Wherever there is business to Jus tify it or country to support it, there we will build a railroad. We want to do what we can. More than that I cannot say." With Mr. Harriman on his trip are Mrs. Harriman, his three daughters and two sons; Mr. Bates, the boys' tutor; J. Xruttschnltt, director of maintenance and operation for the Harriman system, from Chicago, and J. W. Little and H. Neal, the two secretaries to Mr. Harriman. To nlght Mr. Harriman will be the guest of honor at a dinner given him at the Amer ican Inn. He will perhaps be in the city until Wednesday, and in that time several entertainments will be pro'lded for him. Much of his time, however, will be .given to looking over the field here with his lieutenants, and it is expected that some definite announcement of the future policy la regard to Oregon and Its railroad development "will be made before , the departure for San Francisco. NOT WILLAMETTE WATER Supply All Comes From the Bull . Run Mains. Complaints have been current lately that the condition of the water system of Portland is not what it should be, and that in some sections of the city, partic ularly South Portland, the consumers have been furnished with "Willamette straight," Instead of the product of Bull Run. It has been hinted also that some thing is the matter with the principal mains from the latter source of supply, and that the reservoirs have been drawn on largely to moot tho local requirements b- reason of an interruption in the Bull Run flow. Superintendent Frank T. Dodge, of the City Water Department, pronounces all these stories without the slightest founda tion. "You can say for me," said he, yes terday, "that whoever originated these reports is mistaken. The pumping plant is not connected In any way with the mains of the Bull Run system, and has not been used since the gravity system was adopted ten years ago. Prior thoreto the supply came from the river, and with its abandonment there was left In the hands of the municipality a lot of expen sive machinery, comprising the pumping plant, and we have found It necessary, at stated intervals pending its sale, to oper ate it so as to prevent it from deteriorat ing. This is what probably led to tho conclusion that we are pumping water from the Willamette River. "So far as the present condition of tho" water Is concerned, the heat at this sea son of the year affects more or less our source of supplv even to the extent of causing the flow of Bull Run to become tepid, and this, no doubt, accounts for the difference in temperature of the reser voirs. The flow from Bull Run is not in terrupted in the slightest degree, how ever, and we are not dependent upon the stored waters of the reservoirs for our supply. In other words, there is not a particle of change In conditions that have existed all along." INDORSES THE MOVEMENT Chief Campbell Says Brooklyn Dis trict Needs Fire Protection. Chief Dave Campbell heartily indorses the movoment being made by the people of Brooklyn south of Division street for Are protection. He suggests, however. that the bettor and more feasible course would be to move Hose Company No. 3, Stephens Addition, Into tho territory south, and place an engine at tho hose company s quarters. He makes this sug gestion for the reason that tho city might be more willing to make this im provement and that an engine in Stephens Addition would cover more territory, be sides be available for calls to the central district. A well equipped hose company In the district south of Division street would be able to check any ordinary Are until the engine could make the run. There is good pressure on the water mains in that district. Councilman A. G. Rushlight is looking up the title to the lot at Powell and Milwaukic streets, where the Lee Chanel stood, as he considers that the most con venient and central point for an engine house. The city, or the school district, owns a lot on this corner, with well im proved streets radiating in all directions and almost on a level with the street With plenty of fire hydrants the hose company would be -an effective protection. There are now three extra engines stored on the Bast Side, one of which is avail able for this district. SULLIVAN GULCH BRIDGE It Will Be Built on Grand or on Union Avenue. The bulldlrig of a bridge acrosB Sulli van's Gulch, at either Union or Grand avenue, .will likely havo to be postponed for at least a year, or until the big fills and bridges in South Portland are paid for. Councilman John P. Sharkey told the mass meeting held in East Portland last Winter, when the question of steol bridges across Sullivan's Gulch were be ing agitated, that then was the time to get the bridge built; that the people of South Portland did not expect to have to pay for those extensive Improvements. and that If East Portland got Its bridges ouiii across sumvan s uuich, the property-owners might not have to pay for it. But they did not see it in that light. The union-avenue eleated roadwav. built about 20 years ago, was only re paired to last a few months, while South Portland gets extensive fills and bridges paid for, probably by general taxation. Another difficulty that will have to be overcome before Sullivan's Gulch Is spanned by a steel bridge Is where It will be built. Union avonue or Grand avenue. Two costly steel bridges are not at all likely to be built so close together, and one is necaea now, but when the advo cates of a bridge at Union avenue come up those who want a bridge at Grand avenue make a similar demand, and this situation will likely still further postpone erection or a bridge across Sullivan's Gulch. It will be hard to persuade the Executive Board that two steel bridges are needed within one block of each other. Criticism of Dr. Sheldon. PORTLAND. Auc. . T the Edltor.1 To the unintererted It eeems that the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon has allowed opportunity to knock once more unanswered at hi door. Tho fol- lowlnu "In His Steps," na well an the vulvar few who frequent the Trail, will deeply re srrct that the learned preacher, armored with the holy armor and protected by a ahleld of Incessant g-ood work, ehould nnd himself and his cause Inadequate to allure the crowd from the barkers on the Trail. Since Dr. Sheldon' greatest literary effort la but a plan by which others must live, we do not feel out of the way in nuccesUnr that he has made a grievous blunder. Dr. Shel don's fame is widespread and he would have not only entertained and lnstrtiMi th. sands, but would have shown that virtue can Better combat vice than by crawling Into a ehell for fear of contamination. We believe He would have sone lh among the Publicans and rdnners and made an at tempt to teach them better things. In the future the Rev. Charles may leave hla tracts with the heel toward our door.

Now that the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion has passed the million mark in at tendance, a great deal of interest Is be ing manifested as to when It will reach the second million In total admissions. It took a little over two months to reach the first million, which was recorded last Wednesday, but it is not expected that more than sis weeks will elapse before the attendance will total 2.OD0.OM, Judging from the gradual Increase of admissions. The total of said admissions has never been made public, the figures that have been given out combining both the passes and paid attendance. This will not be announced until tho close of the Exposi tion. It Is understood, however, that the percentage of passes is not as great as some people have been led to believe.

When the airship arose several thousand feet in the air it encountered a strong wind, against which it could make no headway. It is not built to fly against more than a 10-mile breeze. The last two ascensions were on calm days, but on both flights the gasoline engine broke down. Captain Baldwin says that he did not expect to make a successful flight at first, and that they were more in the nature of tests than anything else. The weak points of the airship have been discovered and remedied. He is confident that be fore long there will be a satisfactory ascension-Captain Baldwin says that, with perfect control over the airship. It could be driven against the heaviest kind of a wind. With the present ajustments. If an attempt Is made to go against a strong wind the airship Is likely to shoot toward the ground or straight up In the air. The only thing that can be done is to let the big machine drift when such conditions are encountered.

Their village at the Exposition, near the head of the Trail, is nearlng com pletion and will be ready for them by the time they arrive in Portland. They will live In thatched huts, similar to those Inhabited in the Philippines. The village is surrounded by a bamboo palisade. MIT REGULATE INSURANCE HENRY "WHITE CANNON TELLS OF A POSSIBLE METHOD. Laws Similar to Those Applied to Savings Banks Would Prevent Mismanagement. "Affairs in financial centers are ex-, tremely quiet and there" is nothing of importance taking place," said Henry White Cannon, president of the Chase National Bank, of New Tork, while at the Portland Hotel, accompanied by his son. on hls annual visit to the Pacific Coast. Mr. Cannon is one of the leading financiers of the American metropolis, ex-Controller of the Currency, served as a member of the Brussels International Monetary Conference in 1S92. is chairman of the board of directors of the Pacific Coast Company, and a director of the Great Northern and several other rail roads.

Portland Is a beauti ful city and It Is with regret that I must spend only a few days here. I should like to come oftcner and stay longer. "There has been no financial disturbance in New Tork and certainly there is no reason to anticipate any such thing," was the response to a question concern ing the situation in Wall street and what effect recent disclosures In relation to In surance matters has had. Continuing Mr. Cannon said: "The insurance companies are sound and the trouble has been faulty management. wnicn is being corrected and I am sure will be regulated In future.

Sheldon, the minis ter from Kansas who . refused to de liver a sermon in the Auditorium be cause of the Sunday opening, says that amusement enterprises such as the Trail, the Midway and the Pike, are not necessary adjuncts to an exposition, and predicts that within a few years they will bo eliminated from world's fairs. If Dr. Sheldon could have been along the Trail at tho Lewis and Clark Exposition last night, he would havo thought that his theory regarding-show concessions as an attraction to an ex position had already been partially substantiated. There were fewer peo ple alone: the Trail last night than for weeks, and it was but little better in the afternoon. Slight Attendance for Sunday. Whether the Sunday opening- of the Trail Is a success Is still undetermined, as It is yet In Its Infancy. But the fact remains that the Trail has not been the drawing card to the Exposition on Sunday as it was believed it would bu by the concessionaires before it was opened. While the dalljr attendance at the Exposition has been on a steady in crease, the Sunday admissions have been gradually declining. The price of admission was reduced from 50 cents to 25 cents to stem the tide on Sunday, but It did not have the desired effect. The opening of the Trail last week on Sabbath resulted in an unusual Influx of visitors, but the Increase was only temporary, as Is shown by the attend ance of yesterday. The concessionaires are not down hearted over the result of the Injunc tion rendered be Judge Frazer, of the Circuit Court, but Instead are hopeful as ever. They still Insist that Sunday will be the blgsest day of the week: for them, but that it will take a little ADMISSIONS, 0817. Sunday continues to be the lightest day of the week at the Exposition, the attendance yesterday being 0317. The opening of the Trait does not result In any material Increase of admlselcns. The attendance July 30. tvhen the Trait was first opened on Sunday, was 13,277. time for the people to become accus tomed to the new condition of affairs at the Exposition. They point to Sun day being the most profitable day for the concessionaires at the Omaha Fair. The concessionaires say that the Port land people have acquired the habit of seeking the theaters and outlying: re sorts for entertainment on Sundays, and that consequently It is hard to get them to visit the Trail on that day. Although the attendance was excep tionally light last night and yesterday afternoon, many of the show men as sert that they did almost as much busi ness as on an average day. "What peo ple we have on the Trail on Sunday are lives ones." said one of the most prom inent of the concessionaires last night in discussing the patronage of the dif ferent shows. "They spend their money, and spend it liberally," he con tinued. "I will venture ip say that nearly everyone who has been on the Trail tonight has visited all the way from four to five shows. As a rule, on week days the visitors to the Trail hang to the dollars as though It was all that stood between them and eter nity, but today they have given the eagle a chnnce to shake Its feathers.' The contrast between yesterday and the average week day at the Exposi tion was plainly noticeable. There were very few visitors on the grounds, and some of the exhibit buildings were almost deserted during the day. Most of the visitors spent their time In lounging under the trees on the Lake view Terrace, where at both afternoon and night they could hear Dlerke'3 Band. The heat on the Trail, during the middle of the day. was Intense. DIerke's Band was the only attraction at the Exposition yesterday outside of the Trail. Captain Kearney P. Speedy, who dally gives two high dives on the Trail, did not give his performances. Nebraska Exhibit. Free moving picture exhibitions. Ne braska Pavilion. Agricultural Palace. Constables, Xot Robbers. Fearing that they were being held up. wnereas deputy constables were making a raid on them, gamblers at the 3ilwau- kie Club' made a hasty exit from the club building Saturday night, while three con stables collected the paraphernalia as tes timony. The raid was planned by Attor ney Ben Irwin, of Milwaukle. who had obtained complaints against the manage ment for conducting a gambling game. With warrants in their possession, the three constables entered the rooms, and. placing revolvers before the faces o those playing, took charge of the quarters. Isaac Gratton, Tim De Boest, "Bush" Ready and Peter St. Mary were arrested and taken before a Magistrate. They were released on J200 bonds each. This Is tne second time Milwaukle Club has been raided. At the Theaters What the Press Agents Say. 'LADY; BOUNTIFUL" TONIGHT Belasco Stock Company to Present PInero's Greatest Play. The announcement that the Belasco company will Inaugurate another week of Its brilliant season with the sparkling so ciety drama which has caused the great est furore of recent years, both in Lon don and New Tork, will be most agree ably received by Portland theater-goers. PInero has excelled himself In this latest creation of his fertile brain, and tho critics generally agree that "Lady Boun tiful" fs the best of all his works. It deals with London society life In one of Its most Interesting phases. It scintillates with typical PInero humor, and is full of those telling epigrams for which the fore most living English dramatist Is famous. It will be superbly costumed and mounted by the Belasco management, and the per formance tonight will be undoubtedly one of the finest ever given by the popular stock company. BEGINS SEVENTH WEEK.
