The Point Parlance con tract wl".l eliminate much heavy grale anl curvature and will materially re duce the running time btwen Port end. Tacoma and Seattle. It Is Mr. F.litott's Intention to have this work ompleted before the Panama-Pacific Ex position. "My present trip Is not of Inspection so much as It Is to study crop conditions and the situation In the country." said Mr. Elliott. "I have covered th entire system by daylight and certainly have njoyed the trip. I am not giving as murli attention to the larger cities as I will on the subsequent trip, but am devoting most of my time to small towns and the rural districts. 4Jtl. are Satisfactory. Now that I have ben pretty well over the territory. I am mighty well pleased with conditions everywhere, foil conditions are a-oodand the moist ure In the soil throughout the Winter, as well aa at the present time, has been highly encouraging to the farmers. All this indicates a bountiful harvest and when that is said we need go -no farther for our foundation of prosperity. "While I haven't found everything vrywhere In the height of prosperity. .1 am pleased with one thing in particu lar In the optimistic and hopeful tone expressed by the farmers and the small merchants. They are well satisfied. They are more than that, they are released. Now. when the farmer and the merchant In the small town are pleased. It Is a good Indication that business In all quarters Is godd." Mr. Elliott will remain In Portland twlay and will leave tonight for Spo kane, as he has been summoned as a wltnea In a court proceeding there Wednesday morning. He regreta that lie cannot remain longer In Portland. "I would like to see Portland as It should be seen." he declared, "but it would take a week to do that.

He intends to be present at the Northwest ITerelopmnt r,ngrf in Seattle the weep; preceedlng and hopes to visit the Festival on the same Western trip. Portland s terminal situation will re ceive Mr. Elliott" attention today. He will confer with 'rl R. Gray, president of the North Hank road and Hill lines In Oregon. In all of which the North ern Pacific holds a half Interest. At present the Northern Pacific owns 4 per cent of the stock of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company, which com pany controls the I'nlon Depot and terminal properties. The remaining 0 per cent is held by the Harriman lines. The North Bank and the Hill roads pcrate Into the North Bank Ipot and an effort now la being made to secure a readjustment of the terminal situa tion so that all lines may join in the onstruction of a new union passenger r Mlion. !trw Prwrlded Far The Northern Pacific recently author lrel an appropriation of more than $1. e'"'.ooe for the construction of new ' inpi and yards at Tardley. near 6po kpe, and these proposed improvements -i:l be viewed by the executive on his trip to Spokane tomorrow.

Mr. Elliott his discussed with other railroad officials the necessity of providing additional rolling stork for all American lines. 1 1 views with alarm the possibility of a rious shortage in freight cars with in the next two or three years. He points out that since the panic of 1907. the railroads not only have not provided new cars for those worn out In the ser. li-e. but that they have not added to the stock to accomodate Increased business.

CRIME FULLY PLANNED Court Points Out That Forger's Op erations Extended Over Four-1 Years Sentence to Be Imposed Tliis Mornlnjr. Declaring that the granting of a pa role to a felon after sentence Is passed la nothing more than excusing or par doning the person for his crime. Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday denied a pa role to Temple W. Alexander, an ex employe of the 0.-W. R. & N. Company, who pleaded guilty to having stolen about 119.000 from the company by a clever forgery system. When the plea of guilty was entered an appeal was made for a parole, and witnesses were introduced to show that Alexander had a good name and character before en tering the employ of the company. Judge Morrow declared that the pa role Is not maintained for such persons as Alexander, who commit crimes de liberately and after meditation, but Is for persons who may have had some excuse for committing an offense. Attoraeys Oppose Parele. It was shown that Alexander's for geries covered a period of four years. During that time he forged the names of officers and employes of the com pany J53 times, and secured between J18.000 and $1S.000. The parole was opposej by attorneys for the railway company, who declared that tho effect on other employes would be bad If Alexander was excused for his crime. Alexander will be sentenced this morning at 9:10 o'clock. Judge Morrow said In part: "In my Judgment a parole is the en tire excusing of a man from punisn ment for crime and simply letting him go. That is practically the effect. In the public mind, of a parole. A parole carrlL-s no punishment. In the public mind, to the feelings of the one who baa It to deal with- He Is not hurt. His liberty Is not curtailed. Hla social habits are not Interfered with- He can come and go and have Just as good a time, and do Just exactly as he did be fore. If he Is on parole. "Here Is a case where there seems to be no reasonable explastlon of the eccentricities of the defendant. "Every compliment haa been paid to his home life and every recogrltion given to his parents. The gentleman chose not an act of violence, not some thing that was on sudden passion or to graltlfy any spirit of revenge or even to help out some one in need or In distress. Career f Forery Choaea. "Ha chose a career of forgery, a thing which alwaya requires consid eration, planning and careful execu tion. No forger acts In a hurry. He haa plenty of time to think It sll over and to plan escape and to plan avold-a-ce of detection. He lays it all out before he ever touches a pen to paper. "There has been no testimony to that effect, but it Is common knowledge. So this young man has taken an offense which cannot be attributed to anything but careful and premeditated deliber ation. It Is true the offense -is com mitted, sometimes with less delibera tion when men are under the influ ence of liquor: and I have paroled men who have committed forgery under the Influence of liquor. They were to a large extent Irresponsible at the t'rae; not in a lea-al sense, but In an actual physical sense. They didn't more than half appreciate what they had done. "I have paroled such men. 1 have paroled men charged with embenle ment and different forms of stealing from their employers: and my own ob servation has been, based on some study of the question and examination f data, that the forger or embexxler. or petty larcenlst. acta from a differ ent motive from the man who acts hastily, who shoots somebody in a fight, or passion, or quarrel. They are very different people. Public nemaada Troteeliaa. There is, however, another and en tirely different phase to this matter. I that the young man's attorney does not. Iln my Judgment, give sufficient force to: and that Is the interest of the pub lic at large. There are people Interest ed In this matter besides Temple Alex ander, his good and worthy mother and his respected father. He did not think of them at the time of the commission of these crimes; "Every bank, every store, every em ployer of clerks, bookkeepers and sec retaries are face to face with th Depo sition whether there is any actual pun ishment for larceny and forgery; and In my Judgment there ought to be. "I do not see how an offense of this magnitude and so long continued as this one can lie put to one side, and there be any renpect whatever main tained for the statutes of the State of Oregon. I do not see how It can be done. Others Could Do Likewise. "As I say. every bank clerk, every cashier, every cashier of a restaurant, every man that keeps books, everybody who deals with accounts, every pur chasing agent, every accountant of every 'kind and description, and there are thousands of them in the State of Oregon, is confronted at once with the proposition. "What Is the use of my struggling along and getting along with my meager salary when by a stroke of the pen I can gain more or less, fifty dollars, five hundred dollars, fifty thou sand dollars? I do not believe It Is worth the while. "Now, from time Immemorial honesty has been said to be the best policy, and there Is certainly no Incentive to follow the policy of this young man Is to go without any actual punishment. "Now there Is another thing.- A lot of these men who worked with him have suffered. They have been dis charged from their' positions, prcsum asly because they didn't discover that Temple Alexander had forged their names: They haw suffered. They have been discharged. They have lost their niarex- Th flna-er of suspicion has ELK BANDS 10 HIE Arrangements Are Made Holding Contest. for BIG PRIZES ARE OFFERED Craek Musical Organizations With Various Ixulgcs of Country Are to Be in Portland Purine Convention in July.
