Knili oat! Magnate Discusses Business
Prospects, Saying That Money
Must Not Be Invested in Inaccessi

SAN I'RANCISCO, Cal., March 'J7.
- The fad that President Hill of the
(rival Northern railroad and Edward
II. Ilarriman have been consulting at
various limes and places during llie
pa-t two day- is regarded as an in
dication that Ilarriman is lightening
hi- grip on the railroad situation in
ihe northwest.
The special trains of Harrimau am!
Hill, consisting of four ears each,
are today standing at Hurliugame
station south of this oily. The I wo
tailroad magnates are in hourly con
ference. Regarding business, Mr. Ilarriman
-aid : "The farmer of ihe northwest is
lieh and i- getting to he richer. This
is satisfactory because many of us
depend upon the farmer's condition.
"Prosperity depends upon the man
ner in which money is invested. There
will be a financial depression if the
count rv lias a tendency to invest t ho
tumiey iu inaccessible property -uch
; s new railroad- and other schemes.
making it difficult I licet money

EFFECT ON
Hater Discusses What Re
daction in Tariff Means
to Northwest and to
City in Particular
"All ihe dig lumbermen of the
northwest are uniting in the fight
against the lowering of the. tariff on
lumber," says Edgar Hafer, manager
of ihe Crater Lake Lumber company,
whioh controls thousands of acres of
local timber land, "and while in Port
land recently I was surprised at the.
high feeling expressed by timberniea
ihero ami in Sealtlo. Hut, realizing
lhat the reduction of the tariff by
:tll per cent as is provided iu the
Payne tariff hill now before con
gress, will paralyze the industry in
(lie northwest, I am not surprised
at the united effort being made to
fight Hie lull.
"There are many companies in the
northwest who figure on $L.r)fl clear
a thousand feel. They have made
their profit in the past by the vol
ume of their business, hut cat it iu
two and they would he forced to shut
up shop.
"The reduction of (he lumber tar
iff would have' a direct effect upon
this section. The limber which is
-landing tributary to Medford would
-land just so much longer if the flood
id' Canadian cat limber was allowed
lo come iu. Por mills could mil he
operated at a profit.
"There is considerable talk about
.- leduction of the tariff making the
lumber cheaper for the consumer ami
likewise aiding the conservation
movement, hut this will be found to
be nothing hut a fallacy.
"If the efforts of the timbermen
count for anything, Ihe tariff will not
be reduced."'
