Pull for the front and If you do you'll get there. Opportunity and luck have some thing to do with, success tout they won't count unless you rise to the occasion. No success can he sained without honest application. I never came across a place where a lie could-' take the place of the truth, and you never will. A man never will have regret for having done hU best even though he may regret that his best didn't turn out better. No one can long deceive the pub lic; you deceive only yourselves when you think so. If success didn't require effort It wouldn't be worth having. No organization can exist that Isn't buned on fair play. The successful man Is the one who best selects his help. I wouldn't work a," minute for a corporation that refused to promote me for fear they couldn't get a man to take my place. 43e alert; qualify, don't watch the clock; make yourself useful. It was as a co-worker in the same Industrial vineyard that James J, Kill addressed his fellow-members of the Portland Transportation Club fol lowing a luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday. lie coupled his heart-to-heart talk v.-ith his long-deferred announcement of plans for the invasion of California which repeatedly had been predicted and commented on in The Oregonian. Mr. Hill's simple declaration of in tentlon to inaugurate a steamship and lail service between Portland, Astoria .nd feau Francisco was supplemented with a brief description of the vessels to be used on this run by J. H. Young, president of the North Bank Railroad and the local Hill system. The vessels will bo operated as a part of the North Bank system under direct charge of Mr. Young. Vmnell Largest on Coast. The vessels, which are being built t the Cramp Shipbuilding yards, at Philadelphia, will be by far the largest enframed in the coastwise trade on the .facino ocean. iach will be the exact duplicate of tne oiner. i ne contract cost is $2,500, Oui) each. They will be of 12.000 tons displacement and have a cargo capa city of 1500 tons. They will have ac commodations for 800 passengers of which 450 will be first class, 200 sec ond class and 150 third class or steer age. Extra berths will be available in the event that the third-class traffic ticmands them. They will be 523 feet Jong, 63 feet beam and have a draft of 21 14 feet. The vessels are to have a guaranteed speed of 23 knots an hour and will be. equipped with Parsons Improved turbine engines. While each will have 12 boilers the speed requirements, ac cording to contract, will be met with only ten boilers, keeping two boilers constantly in reserve. Run Cut by Two Honrs or More. According to this speed schedule the big steamers will make the run be tween Astoria and San Francisco in Hpproxlmately 22 hours. Fast train service will make possible a run of less than three hours between Port land and Astoria. The combination rail unil water schedule between Portland and San Francisco thus will be reduced to 24 or 25 hours which is more than two hours faster than now is made by tin- fastest trains. It is not the in tention to have the vessels run to l'ortlund immediately upon inaugurat ing service, which will be about Jan uary 1, 1915. Their northern terminus will be Astoria. Eventually, it is possible that they will come through to Port land. Both local and transcontinental traffic will be handled. "Yes, this will be the shorter way" said Mr. Hill in discussing the pro posed service. "It will be better than a rail line, and the right of way will be much cheaper. Nor will the main tenance be so high." More than 400 railroad and steam ship men heard Mr. Hill's address. He himself is an honorary member of the Transportation Club. President Young, of the local Hill lines, introduced him,' referring humorously to the fact that one year ago he was quoted at 74 years that now he Is quoted at 75, and expressed the hope on the part of all the club members that he "will go to liar." J. E. 'Werleln, ex-president of the club, presided and, at the conclusion of Mr. Hill's remarks introduced J. M. Hannaford. president of the Northern Pacific, who was applauded heartily .nd who spoke briefly. "If I have been successful, and if my observations have taught me any thing," began Mr. Hill, in his address, "it is that application to your Job will win In the end. "There is nothing that I like to see better than a young man come up through the ranks. Men who were born in section houses now hold im portant positions on the Great North ern. We always nave made it a practice to promote deserving men and I believe most other roads oo the same. "It is a crying shame for a man who deserves promotion not to get it. I wouldn't work for a minute for a corporation tuat says: " 'Well, that man is doing his work so well where he is that we oughtn't to promote him. We ought to keep him where he is.' Responsibility on Yonthu. "But the responsibility Is on the young man to deserve this promotion. .Ho ought to strive constantly to go up. When he ceases going up he will start to come down. "It Is hard to keep a good' man down. Sampson Is reputed to have been tha strongest man, but I was told recently that Jonah was stronger. The whale couldn't keep him down when he h a.i him down. "They may keep yon down for an lour or tvo, lor a. dajr or .two. but Boys, oo rjgnti" Mr. Hill declared fo the Rood and all the harm that a corporation does cannot be excused by Us officers on the grounds that it is a corporation. Its acts are attributable to human instincts on the part of some of its responsible heads, after all. he said. "A piece of paper bearing the state seal is ail that makes it a corpora tion," he continued. In announcing his steamship plans he reminded his hearers that he is out of active railroad work. James J. Hill Taken Privileges. "I'm only a high private in the rear ranks." he asserted, and then added with a queer smile playing about his eyes: "With assumed privileges of com menting on the officers who have suc ceeded me." " Mr. Hill and his party, accompanied by President Young and other local officials left yesterday afternoon for Bend and other Central Oregon points. no insisted that there Is no present intention 01 continuing the Oregon Trunk line south from Bend although CREDIT MEX NAME KI-PRESI-BEST AS MANAGER.

F Miller Condemns. Doubt as to the wisdom of the pro posed Btep to abolish the State Senate was expressed by H. A. Darnall, State Grange Lecturer, in an address before Lents Grange Saturday. He also ex pressed doubt as to the wisdom of consolidating the city and county governments. He said that the recent centralization of the road supervision of Multnomah County into the hands of four men would result in poor super vision and in many cases no super vision at all. Mr. Darnall commended the Portland City Commissioners, and declared that commission form in Port land is working out well. A. F. Miller attacked the City Com mission form and declared it is not working out, n-t that it had resulted in increased cost to the property own ers and multiplication of high priced orticers, pointing to the health de partment as an example. Mr. Miller declared that consolidating of the city and county is a movement In the right direction, as it would eliminate dupli cation of many departments, place the administration in the hands of one set of men instead of two as at present. and could save property owners hundreds of thousands of dollars an nually. W ilson Beneflel defended the Citv Commissioners, declaring that commla. slon form is working out in Portland to good advantage.

If the Columbia River is not dredged out at Its mouth and the channel with in the next two years, Oregon's busi ness will be transacted through Tuget Sound, said G. Wing-ate, vice-president of the Port of Astoria, yesterday. "I am not speaking as a resident of Astoria." said Mr. Wlngate. "but as a citizen of Oregon. "The building of the north Jetty, of which we hear so much, will aid in malting a permanent channel. Hinr- ever, it is a tentative proposition, and if it were completed tomorrow, it would be no guarantee of deep water at the mouth or the river.. "Dredging is the only method tha win insure a deep channel. A dredge like the Leviathan, in Liverpool, would give us 4a reet or water within a year.

DEATH TO BE PROBED Federal Government to Investi gate Coe Sanitarium. SLIDE HURTS SECOND MAN Inquest Develops Insane Patients Do Manual Labor for Benefit or In stitution State and Swedish Consul Interested. The death of Louis Anderson, an in sane patient from Iditarod, Alaska, who was killed Friday while working out from tha Morningside Sanatarium in the county gravel pit near Russellvllle, will be the basis of a Federal investi gation, Clarence L. Reams, United States District Attorney, said last night. Mr. Reames said that the mat ter would be reported to the Depart ment of Justice and an investigation taken up immediately. That Insane patients of the Coe Sani tarium, of which Dr. Henry Waldo Coe is head, were employed in manual labor about the place, and that seven of them were so employed when Louis Anderson was killed Friday, was brought out yesterday at a Coroner's Inquest over the body of Anderson. The verdict reached, after a squabble among the jurors, was that of an unavoidable ac cident. Witnesses at the inquest were Dr. Coe, head of the institution which has a contract to care for Alaska's insane patients; Dr. William C. Judd, house physician; Frank Lloyd and E. L. Heb belwhite, two attendants. They were submitted to a severe examination by Coroner Slocum, Deputy District Attor ney Robinson' and J. Walton, Jr., spe cial representative of Governor West, who appeared also for Valdemar Lidell, Swedish Vice-Consul. Testimony was to the effect that Louis Anderson, Julius Schaefer and John Borg, three insane paitents, were working side by side with the two at tendants in the gravel pit, under a wall 45 feet high, and after a slide of sev eral tons of gravel had fallen across the wagon road an hour before. They were loading wagons wilh gravel to place on the private road of the Morn ingside Sanitarium when a second slide, about 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, came down on them, burying Anderson under six feet of gravel, and burying Schaefer up to his shoulders. Work of an hour and a half was nec essary to release Schaefer, and when Anderson was dug out, about 6:30 o'clock, he was dead. Dr. Coe and Dr. Judd testified that the patients were worked regularly in the pit and at other labor which bene fited the institution.. It was said that Anderson, following the dismissal of a friend six months ago, developed a suiciaal mania. Dr. Coe and Dr. Judd said he had become inclined to suicide six months ago, but was somewhat im proved when set to work. Evidence was introduced to show that the bank, under which the man was working, inclined outward and was in dangerous condition, and that the dav on which the accident . occurred was rainy and windy. The fact that Julius Schaefer. also an Insane patient, was caught by the fall of gravel and crushed against the wagon bed, had not been mentioned previously.

Shane, both of .whom have been in capacitated while in the fire service, may not be entitled to pensions. The board of trustees of the fund met yes terday in the office of Mayor Albee and considered the cases. Action was de ferred until thj; return of City Attor ney La Roche from Salem, where he is attending to legal wbrk for the city. Although all members of the board favor granting pensions to Shane and Whitcomb, there is a question as to whether this can be done, inasmuch as both were incapacitated before the pension law went into effect.
