THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1005." SAPPQINTED 81 TALK ST BANQUET Business-Men Not Elated by Speeches of Harriman and His Attorneys, ORITIck TONE DISPLEASES Dearth of Announcements of Rail road Construction and TJnfavor able Tone of Spokesmen Not Encouraging. "Where men congregated In Portland yesterday the chief topic of discussion among business men of the city was the Harriman' banquet of Tuesday night, and disappointment was gener ally felt that instead of some more definite announcement as to future pol icy, the people of Oregon were practi cally told that they must build rail roads themselves if not satisfied to await the pleasure of the big system. No fault was exprossed concerning the statements of Mr. Harriman personally, other than regret that he had not been more positive in denning the intentions In regard to new projects for transpor tation facilities in sections not includ ed in any of the announced construc tion planned for the immediate future. It was recalled that two years ago the Immediate construction of the Co lumbia Southern was promised by Mr. Harriman on conditions that were promptly met by Portland people, but the road has not yet beon built. But much criticism is heard of the attitude in which the people of Oregon were made to appear by-the attorneys for corporations included in the sys tem, and while it was felt that benefit may accrue from a better -understanding of the temper of the people on the part of Mr. Harriman, the banquet, judging from expressions hoard, did not serve to bring closer together the interests of the public and transporta tion lines. "While it is a source of sat isfaction to know that the mileage al ready projected will materially benefit the country tributary to .Portland, and llkewiso the city by reason of enlarged trade territory, business men have an idea that they might be entitled to form some opinions them selves as to the ends of other regions not supplied with transportation facilities, and at least should be accorded the right to conduct their "own business without dictation of counsel for the railroads. William D. Wheelwright, prosident of the Chamber of Commerce, who was one of the speakers at the banquet, said in commenting upon the subject: Mr. Wheelwright's Comment. "The dinner was a very pleasant one, and everybody seemed to enjoy Mr. Har rlman's hospitality. It may seem invid ious for a guest to find fault with any thing that Is done or said on such an occasion, but as Mr. Harriman and his representatives undertook to make state ments with regard to the relations be tween" the tfansp6rtatfon "company and the State of, OregonJi L'v ..perhaps, not improper or Impolite .for me to say that the etatements were very disappointing. "When it was announced that Mr. Cotton had decided to retain his position with the O. R. & N. Co., I concluded that It was the result of a conviction on his part that he could serve the people of the state to. better advantage In that position than in any other, and also to better advan tage than he has been able to serve them heretofore. And I certainly expected an announcement from Mr. Harriman that if Mr. Cotton was not to have Increased powers. It was at least understood that he would pay special attention to the re quirements of this community in the way oT railroad development, and that any recommendation of his with regard to new construction would be treated with re spect, to say the least. On the contrary, Mr, Harriman contented himself with a reference to two or three small pieces of railroad building that are already accom plished facts, and failed to give any as surance of Increasing activity on the part of the railroad company. Mr. Cotton and Mr. Fenton occupied most of their time In trying to convince their hearers that the railroad company had done all it ought to do, and all that ought to have been expected of It in the past,, and with assurances that they would give Just as much regard to the interests of the state in the future as they had done hitherto. It really seemed very strange to me that they should indulge in such a line of argu ment, as they must be aware that there Is great and widespread discontent throughout the state with the past action and the present attitude of the company; and they must also be aware that any amount of argument going to show that the railroad Is right and that the people are wrong will have no eeffet whatever. TUght or wrong, the community will main tain Its present opinion .and I was ex ceedingly disappointed that neither Mr. Harriman, Mr. Cotton or Mr. Fenton thought it advisable to say something that would allay this discontent and tend to restore cordial relations between the rail road company and Its patrons. Mr. Har riman remarked that In a particular case the railroad would be at a certain point before the settlers (and his remark was received with faint applause), his idea "being, apparently, that In that case, at least, the railroad was ahead of the times, whereas, to my thinking the basic Idea ot modern railroad building is to anticipate Bettlers and give them the facilities to enter upon new territory. There was a time when railroads did not project them selves Into unsettled regions because the settled territory was without such facili ties, and it was naturally proper that they should be served first. But nowadays settled communities are so well accommo dated that railroads must necessarily press forward into regions where there Is but a sparse population, and it is not to be expected that they will at once jump Into a prosperous business, although in these days of increasing Immigration they won't have to wait very long for good traffic returns, if they will only give im migrants an opportunity to' settld the country. "Of course, I speak without personal feeling, and with great respect for Mr. Harriman, Mr. Cotton and Mr. Fenton, the last two of whom I count among my personal .friends. I appreciate that it is a matter of business, and not one of friendship or sentiment, and I am ex tremely sorry that their views of the busi ness situation did not allow them to give some such assurances as we should like to have with regard to new construction. And I must object to the tone adopted by all of these gentlemen, that It is for us to ask tor what we want and for them to give as much or as little as they like, as if they had no responsibility to the communities through which they pass, and from which they derlve,thelr Income, whereas they ought to look upon them selves as trustees for the people of this region, and faithfully regard and serve the interests of those people, as well as their own." Promises Not Kept. 'In my opinion, there willbe more rail roads built In . Oregon within Ave years than have already been projected, whether Mr. Harriman builds them or not," said J. Frank "Watson, president of the Mer chants National Bank. "The people of Oregon are tired of promises not fulfilled, and it comes with poor grace from rep resentatives of the system to charge Portland with failure to do Its part In view of the fact that Mr. Harriman on a preious visit two years ago submitted a distinct proposition that he would ex tend the Columbia Southern at once into Central Oregon providing good, faith was shown by Portland to the extent- of sub scribing 530O.O0O to the stock. That sub scription was promptly raised, but the road is net yet built, and we have not yet had any explanation why Mr. Harriman failed to carry out the agreement. We are now told that the Columbia South ern will be extended, but not given any very definite information as to the ex tent of what Is to be done and will be inclined to await actual construction before putting any great amount of faith in such promises. "Whether or not with intention to mis lead the public and representaties of the community present, the information vouchsafed concerning tho irrigated sec tion of the Deschutes was Incorrect. More than $500,000 has been expended on the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company project alone, and combined in tho differ ent enterprises there will be In excess of 500,000 acres brought under irrigation. Eighty-five thousand acres is now under water. "When it is considered that Yaki ma has only 45,000 acres under irrigation and furnishes a greater tonnage to the Northern Pacific than any other point be tween St. Paul and the Coast, porsons not familiar with the situation can form some Idea of what traffic will be created for BUNCO MEN ORDERED TO GO Municipal Judge Cameron Ac cedes to Request of Detectives.

ON RACING AND GAMBLING Citizens Express Their Views 'Against - Selling of Pools. The question should racing be prohibit ed if it cannot be conducted 'without pool selling Is one that Is received In various moods by prominent citizens of Port land and which brings forth a great variety of opinions. One thing is espe cially noticeable, however, and that Is that the class of citizens who are un qualifiedly opposed to gambling In any form are almost to "a man fond of horses and do not see any harm in horse races If conducted without betting. Some say they havo never been to a race but ad mire horses and see no harm In honor able competition between them; others admit that they have strayed to the track side at times, but never put a dollar on the ponies, and do not consider buying pools at all necessary to the enjoyment of-tho races. Among those who are fond of horses and sec. no harm in a good, race are. sev eral prominent clergymen of the city. Dr. Elwln Lincoln: House, of the First Congregational Church, says he thinks a horse Is one of ' the prettiest things In the world and that he would hate to see good racing -prohibited.

GOVERNOR IS DISAPPQINTED Speeches of Harrlman's Representa tives Not Encouraging in Tone. SALEM, Or., Aug. 9. (Special!) When asked today for an expression of his views of the Harriman "banquet and tho sentiments voiced on that occasion by the speakers. Governor Chamberlain said: "The banquet In all its appointments was a most successful affair, and Mr. Harri man proved himself a gracious and grace ful host, but I am frank to say that I was somewhat disappointed at tho tone of the gentlomon who were known to be representatives of tho railroad interests in Oregon. They were eloquent enough, but if they intended to change the trend of sentiment on the subject of railroad extension in Oregon, they failed. , "The people of Oregon are not content with assurances that railroads will be built into Central and Southeastern Ore gon as soon as there Is a density of population there sufficient tornake a rail road pay immediately -upon completion. They feel .that if such a time ever arrives, It will be so far In the future that tho youngest inhabitant will not live to see it. They feel that the completion of tho railroads Into these sections will hasten their settlement and development That they have warrant for this belief one has but to remember that almost this entire "Western continent did not belgn to in crease in population and develop in re source, agricultural and otherwise, until the completion of the several trans-continental railways. With their completion came population and industrial and com mercial development and wealth. "While the railway system which prac tically controls Oregon remains quiescent, California capital is reaching up Into Klamath and Lake Counties by rail and into the Coast Counties by sea, and is tak ing away from the people of Oregon an immense amount of traffic that should And an outlet through the Columbia to the Orient or toward tho Atlantic Sea board through the principal cities of tho State, and threats that the railroad com panies of the State will carry the com merce handled over their linos to Puget Sound will not In any way tend to allevi ate the feeling which permeates the peo ple of this State. "That their interests are being sacri ficed by the failure of these companies to build branch lines to present rich but undeveloped sections, an editorial In The Orcgonlan today expresses concisely and better than- It is possible for me to do In an Interview tho feeling which per vades every section of the State. "As the guest of Mr. Harriman, I felt a delicacy in expressing myself at length upon these subjects at the banquet given by him last night." Awarding City Contracts. The .street cleaning committee of the Executive Board yesterday considered bids for furnishing the street cleaning and sprinkling department of the city with oats, hay and bran and made awards as follows: McMillan Milling Company, ten- tons white oats at $27 a ton; Albcrs Bros.. Evardlng & Farrell and McMillan Milling Company, 24 tons each of timothy hay at $12.50 a ton, and" Albers Bros., ten- tons of country bran at $19 a ton. Funeral of Mlln Dayton. The body of Mlln Dayton, drowned at Seaside while riding in the surf, was "buried yesterday afternoon at Rivervlew Cemetery- Services were held at Holman's undertaking parlors, at which Rev. A. A. Morrison of Trinity Episcopal Church out dated. Members of the Phi Delta Kappa High School fraternity acted as an escort to the bodj. and numerous friends of the boy and his parents were present. Short services were also held at the burial grounds. Tho Denver & Bio, Grande has estab lished through Pullman standard sleeping car service between Portland and Denver, leaving Portland at S:15 P.

Detectives Carpenter and Reslng got Judge Cameron to order James McDon ald and Charles A. Green out of the city. A few minutes afterwards. De tective Snow, simply by requesting the court, had Frank Wilson, and W. H. Woodard "hot-footed." Several days ago, however, when Scotch Alec, Palo Alto Kid and The Plunger, bunco men and racetrack fol lowers of considerable note, were charged with vagrancy. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald placed the entire detective staff on the stand, but not one sleuth could utter a word against the spotless characters of the men. The court officials were glad to rid the city of the four bunco men and racetrack followers brought In yester day, and therefore granted the re quests of the detectives, who were dumb when the other celebrated touts wore on trial, Detectlvos Carpenter and Reslng trerc especially fortunate, is seems, in the capture of McDonald and Green. The latter Is known to be a crook, and hails from Seattle, where -he and his brothers are In constant trouble with the police. The officers sp-flted the pair, accompanying a stranger about the streets Tuesday night, and arrested them. It developed that they were en deavoring to work a bunco game on the stranger, their plan being to se cure from him $100 by promising to get him a position that pays $100 a month. Wilson and Woodard, "hot-footed" by Detectives Kerrigan and Snow, are both criminals of a dangerous type, and were not even granted until dark to leave, town. They were to leave at 2 o'clock P. M. Detcctivo Joe Day, who Is a personal friend of all bunco mon In the world, did not have any of that species of the human family in court. Although this Is not official, it is said he was out looking for Kid Abbott and Palmer Hazel, celebrated touts, now visiting Portland. Others Joe Is said to be watching closely, although ho has not said so himself, are The Silver-Getting Kid. Salt Lake Kid. Klondike Kid. Tugg Allen, Fred Ruiz and The Singer. Thesa are all well-known touts, now making their headquarters In this city. None of them have as yet been brought to p'olIcQ headquarters by Joe Day. Judge Cameron fined Harvey O'Bryan $25 for exceeding the speed limit of eight. miles with his automobile yester day, but remarked In so doing that tho penalty is too severe. This is the min imum, and the court is obliged to in flict at least; that sum .In cases of guilt. Judge Cameron would like to havo the law fixed so It would be dis cretionary. With but one witness testifying for the defense. Judge Cameron dismissed the cases of Charles Kunno and John Lambert, charged by J. Charles Hoyt with the assault and robbery of him self and others at the Corner saloon, Sunday night at 11:30. By calling S. R. Cobersteln, proprietor of the Lako vlew Hotel, it was shown that the ac cused men were in his establishment, two miles from the scene of the crime, when the robbery occurred. ' James Regas and J. D. Jakas, Greeks, were fined $10 each for fight ing on Fifth and Washington streets last Saturday night. The trouble re sulted over poanut-stand locations which each coveted. J. Rath and Edward Miller, arrested by a detective at the Lewis and. Clark Exposition grounds, were fined $10 each for peddling Jewelry without a license. Otto J. Kraemer, who was beaten for Municipal Judge in the Republican primaries by Judge Cameron, appeared to plead not guilty to a charge of prac ticing law without a license. He de mands a hearing, and proposes to show that the court has no authority to levy costs of $2.50 in each case, as has been done. Scores of other lawyers, many of them equally as prominent as Eras ing without poolselllng should horse rac ing be prohibited" he gave for reply tho decided opinion that It is possible to conduct racing without poolselllng, and successfully at that.' "We have fine racing in the East with out poolselllng," he said, "and I don't see why the same condition could not hold here. A horse is a beautiful animal and we all love"" horses I think, so why should wo be deprived of seeing them show their fine speed and make records on account of the fellows who want to sell pools? I have no objection In the world to horse racing, but as to the pools well you know the poolseller al ways knows what horse Is coming In first when the public doesn't. The money to run tho races can be obtained from tho gate receipts and the entries and fine meetings conducted without the book makers' presence, so I do not think that prohibited poolselllng should in any measure prohibit legltlmato racing." B. Lee Paget admits that he has seen three races in his life and all In the same day at the Salem Fair and that he didn't lose. But with all this wide I experience he modestly dclarcs that he i knows absolutely nothing about racing. although ho Is more than ordinarily fond of horses. I "I think that every kind ot legitimate I competition which tends to the advance ment of that noble animal, the horse, Is iiuuuiauiu uuu ciui bco iju tixuuu iur frowning upon racing; but if racing Is necessarily a gambling game, then it has my marked disapproval. I am unquali fied in my disapproval of anything that savors of gambling, but I do not see the necessity of combining racing with such a vice." Mr. Paget was asked what ho thought about the great number of horse-owners who had their string of horses at the Irvlngton track and are now at great ex ' pens a feeding and caring for them with ! out prospect of winning any purses which i might havo been theirs but for the In junction lately Issued by Judge Frazer. "If those owners brought their horses , here knowing that they would bo de pendent upon gambling for the success ' of the meeting and also knowing that j gambling is against tho laws of this i state, then 'they are not entitled to any- ones sympathy, for they surely came with their eyes open. But when you get Into tho details of the racing business I am ratner at sea, for I know absolute ly nothing about It, only that if it has gambling connected with it that feature should bo eliminated." John Bain, of the Municipal League, has decided views about any sport which Includes gambling features. "I don't know anything about racing," he said, "but if it cannot be conducted without gambling it should beabandoned without question. I don'tthlnk the opin ion of the Supremo Court should be ques tioned, and it has decided that pool selling is a nuisance. .If It is a nuisance In the city why Is It not at Irvlngton track? It surely Is as bad In one case as in the other there's no doubt about that, and I think the general opinion is along that line. Thcro is the law against gambling which is as clear as day and there should be no getting around It." Samuel Council is an ardent admirer of a fine horse, and while ho Is bitterly opposed to gambling In any form he does not want the racing done away with and feels that it Is entirely unnecessary to combine objectionable features with It. He saia: "Racing Is all right when properly conducted, and I think the competition for great speed among horses Is Just as honorable and Just as high-class sport as the athletic contests at, the Multno mah Club. It Is Just as honorable to have your fine horse make a track record as it Is to put the shot or do the best jumping or running In a field contest, and the record the horse makes on such occasions is what increases his value. But when It comes to poolselllng I have no quarters for gambling on any grounds whether It be by the merchant or tho professional. No one admires fino horses more than I do, but If races cannot bo conducted without gambling I think they should be abandoned without further argument- The horsemen who brought their stables hero knew that .gambling was prohibited by our state laws, but they did like those Trail concessionaires and tried to play double.

If certain persona had not failed to do their duty they would not bo open now but In tho case of pool-selling- at Irvlngton. that is dlrectly against the law and there Is no question about It's being illegitimate. "Races can be conducted without gamb ling and made Interesting to the public Don't you remember some years ago when we used to have gentlemen's races every Saturday afternoon and havo such good sport out of It? I had a fine horse and -used to enjoy racing down .the River side Drivo with other citizens who had fine stock, but there were no pools sold and I think everyone enjoyed them more than they do tho .present races. Con duct them without poolselllng, but It that has become Impossible, then let the whole thing go." H. VT. Stone, secretary of the T. M. C A., said: "I havo no objection to horse racing but any Institution which allows gambling should be suppressed. I believe that all laws should be enforced, and fortunate ly there Is a law against tho crime of gambling." Wlfo Charges Desertion.

" Dr. Sheldon's Critic. PORTLAND. Aug. 7. To the Editor.) Re ferring to tho "Criticism of Dr. Sheldon." by a "Visitor from Kansas." It would, seem, ac cording to the testimony of over 4300 people who aro at least trying to follow "In His steps." that Dr. Sheldon properly and wlaely -embraced a splendid opportunity to place all the power of his world-wld Influence on tt-a aide of right. That Dr. Sheldon's audiences did not eurfr from the "allurements" of the trail is es tablished by the fact that the total attendant at his two service of one hour tach last Sabbath equaled one-half of the tetal attend ance at the fair for the entire day- and algrt combined. Dr. Sheldon needs neither our err... qlsm nor our commiseration, nor need we ba anxious lest his "widespread fame" wf.l ra materially detracted from. Moreover. w thln's that those who frequent tho trail on the Sar bath are not the kind who eouM be pre vailed upon to el: for one hour and Mates, to such a man as Dr. Sheldon. However, wa must be charitable, for "We cannot the moulds of our creation ehocse; We therefore should men's Ignorance excuse; When born too low to reach things sublime. 'Tls rather their misfortune than, their crime." The sarcasm contained In. the words "fear of contamination." and that vulgar play ' i the word "tracts." together with dtsrepm. -Implied In the epithet "Reverend Charlee' would seem to indicate that the "Visitor frosv Kansas" Is not given to reading Dr. She! don's "tracts." nor any other. He may be cc of the small minority who are chafing w:fi the restrictions In the good State of Kansas for the restraint ot Sabbath-breakers, or t may prefer "hitting the trail" tQ hearing & aermon. H.
