NOTED AS A ' FINANCIER AVon Distinction by Work for Rehabilitation of Egypt's Fi nances Investigating Indus trial Conditions In America. Sir BdRar Vincent, of London, England, one of the foremost financiers of Europe, ranking in British banking and industrial affairs as do the Morgans and Rockefel lers in this country, paid Portland a brief visit yesterday. Sir Edgar is not only distinguished as a financier, but also In affairs of state in England. He also is a multi-millionaire and a shareholder in a number of transcontinental railroad prop erties in this country. One object of his visit to America is to Inspect the prop erties in which he Is Interested, and to study conditions, -with a view to recom mending the investment of additional British capital in this country, particu larly in the West. While In California he wa-s In consulta tion with capitalists and industrial lead ers, and Is said to have Interested him self particularly in the Union Pacific and Santa Fe systems, though he declined to affirm this in an interview at the Port land, yesterday. He was accompanied from San Fran cisco to Portland by Paul F. Mohr. one of the leading railroad builders of the Northwest, a former Portlander, but now of San Francisco. It is understood that Sir Edgar Inquired into Industrial con ditions and properties while here and spent most of the day touring- the city. Further than to say he was interested In all such matters in a general way, he would not discuss his trip. He was greatly interested when informed of the presence here of President Elliott, of the Northern Pacilic, and his party, as well as of Louis F. Swift, president of Swift & Co. Sir EdgarVincent is the man whom the British Government sent to Egypt in 1883 tOj become financial adviser of. the new Khedive, to whom the British Gov ernment had just restored authority, fol lowing the defeat of Arab! Pasha, the state then being in an exhausted tinan-. cial condition, but he wrought such changes, that within a short time impov erished Egypt was on the high road to financial recovery, and at the end of seven years, when he retired, was fully on her feet. Knighted by Queen. For his splendid achievements in this work of rehabilitation, he was knighted in 1887, being gazetted to. that conspicu ous honor and title by Her Majesty Queen Victoria. This title. It should be under stood, is conferred solely as a reward for extraordinary service to the crown. In retiring from the post of financial adviser to the Viceroy of Egypt, In 1890 he was Immediately appolpted to, the governorship of the Ottoman Bank at Constantinople, one of the greatest finan cial Institutions in Europe. - He served in this capacity for seven years, after which he returned to England and was immediately elected to Parliament as a Conservative, and for eight years he rep resented Exeter district in the House of Commons and was the leading figure In all debates on finance and political econ omy. Then, after 22 years of continuous serv ice for his government, he retired rrom public life to take charge of his own vast interests, and his present tour is one of recreation, the first he has had in nearly a quarter of a century. Sir Edgar is a man of Imposing pres ence. He stands 6 feet 2 inches in height and is of stalwart build. To his com manding appearance is added an "ex quisite personal charm, and his forcerul character and indomitable will is mani fest In every word. "So much like London," was his first comment on Portland weather, "and I don't mind it a bit. In fact, it seems altogether homelike. I am on a tour of pleasure and rest, observing those things in which I think all men are Interested, and I don't mind saying that I find American institutions and American peo ple an intensely fascinating study. I left London last December, and have trav eled leisurely across the continent by the Southern route, and spending about- six days in San Francisco and California. Returns by Canadian. "I am sorry I shan't have more time here, but I must be on my way. I will stop in Seattle for a day or so. and will then return to Montreal and the East by way of the Canadian- Pacific, reaching home about March 15. . "Something was said in the dispatches a week or so ago that I was- on the Coast looking up "opportunities for in vestment of FJnglish money tn railway properties, but it really isn't so. I'm just looking about a bit as I go along,' and really represent nobody but myself. ' Sir Edgar declined to discuss the in dustrial situation In this country, or In his own, and said he did not think it proper for him to make any observations on the financial conditions here or abroad. The distinguished visitor left for Seat tle late last night, accompanied by Mr. Mohr. The latter, who lived here for many years, built the old portage road from The Dalles to Columbus, the strat egic link in what is now the North Bank road. It was the purchase Qf this line by the Northern Pacific that enabled that system to construct the North Bank road. Mr. Mohr also built the Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern, which was also ac quired by the Northern Pacific, and Js npw known as the Seattle & Interna tional. Another line constructed by him in the Pacific Northwest was the Spo kane & Palouse, and his latest work has been the building of the Yosemite Val ley road, which taps the Tosemite Na tional Park. This line he completed about two years ago. WILL TALK WITH CLELAND Committee to Interest Northern. Pa cific In Rose Festival. A committee representing the Rose Festival has been selected by President Whitemore, to have a conference with General Passenger Agent Cleland, of the Northern Pacific, today with a view of enlisting the support of that system in the matter of securing low tourist and excursion rates to the June cele bration, and also to ask Mr. Cleland to use his infhience in -assisting in the campaign of exploitation and publicity in the advertising matter which his system will distribute during the next few months.

Hosts Boast of Theirs in Return. Auto Ride Given Up Be cause of Snow: MEDFORD, Or., Feb. 9. (Special.) The Inland Empire excursion arrived on schedule time this afternoon. Medford's population, headed by the cornet band, turned out enmas.se to welcome the ex cursionists. Mr. ' Colvlg, president of the Commercial Club, welcomed the visitors and Captain W. E. Goodall, of Spokane, responded on behalf of the travelers in a well-chosen and humorous address. Mr. Justin, of Dayton, was called upon and told of the glories of the section whence he had come to view the offerings of other climes. Members of the party themselves. 231 WASHINGTON STj. PORTLAND OREGON- MAKER OF MENS CLOTHES wearing the badge with its red apple, were each presented with the real thing in shape of Rogue River's famous yel low Newtowns. Medford had arranged to meet the ex cursionists with 60 automobiles and take the visitors for a spin about the city, but, owing to the condition underfoot, the arrangement was foregone and Mr. Colvig was forced to explain to the vis itors that the condition of Medford's main street was due to the heavy freighting now being carried on between the Blue Ledge mine, on the west, and the fam ous timber belt on the east of Medford. The speakers responded to Mr. Colvig's invitation to come and dwell In this par adise by setting forth the glories of their Inland Empire. The first snow fall of the season cov ered the ground to a depth of one inch this morning, but disappeared by noon, although the foothills still remain covered.
