SYSTEM BEING SWALLOWED UP
BY OREGON WASH. NAY. CO.
"Harriman Being , Relegated for
' "Lovefin Designating Systems,
Because of the fact that Robert S.
Lovett Is president of all the Hard-1
man railroads, it naturally follows
that he will occupy the same posi
tion with the" Oregon-Washington
Railroad and Navigation company
which has been merged with the Har
rlman system, says a Portland ex
change. . ,
v.As a result of the merging of the
North Coast with" the O. R. & N. in
to the company ' mentioned above,
both the O. R. & N. and the North
Coast will to a great extent Joss" their
individual distinction, either of them
being only a' part ' of the Oregon
Washington Railroad and Navigation
company. : , ; ", , . v
' Incidentally It Is learned from vari
0' s reliable sources that gradually
the name of Lovett Is replacing that
of Harrlman and that before long the
big trunk and its myriads of subsid
iaries will be identified as the Lovett
system. .' ' -
The Harrlman estate still holds
large Interests In the system, but the
fact that Judge Lovett is the con1
trolling spirit has started a move
ment to gradually work in the name
of Lovett in place of that of Harrl
man. The .Lovett idea has spread to
Portland and other places along the
coast so that when employes hare
occasion to, , they ' Invariably speak
of the Lovett System instead of the
Harrlman system.
"We do this to show our respect
for our chief," said one of the men
connected with the ; railroad, "and it
is but HghtAfor while the Harrlman
estate Is still heavily interested. Judge
Lovett is at the, head. It is he who
stem's ; the course of the ship and
guides Its destinies." Of course Judge
Lovett Is not as heavily interested
financially as was Mr. Harrlman, and
perhaps he never will be, but never;
theless we recognize that he is the
big chief, and that) it is but right
for us to call them the Lovett lines
when; the matter cbmes up in an offi
cial -way. And gradually the general
public will fall in line." -
