P. O'Brien, federal manager of the Ore- sron-Washlngton lines, who will also be again in his old post as general manager after the termination of the federal regime. President Gray complimented Port land on the improvements that ve been made in preparation for hand ling a greater port traffic giving as etirrance of service by the Union Pacific, but saying that a railroad is essentially engaged in operations on land and that its duty is discharged when it affords service and brings and takes cargo to and from docks.

"Unfortunately cone of us are prophets or sons of prophets," said Mr. Gray in beginning a brief talk to the business men, "so we can only con jecture what is in store for us.
