STEEL FRIES UNHARMED
U ITHSTOOU TEM BLOU AX D FIRE,
SAYS BAY CITY" EXPERT.
Coiifultinjf Engineer R. Field, of
Risdon Iron AVorks, Gives Opin
ions ou Rebuilding.
In the opinion of George K. Field, con
sulting ensrinocr for the Rlsdon Iron
Works, of San Francisco, but little cre
dence should be given unofficial reports
that the earthquake shock did any great
damage to the buildings of the Bay City
before the nre completed their destruc
tion. Mr. Field, who is a guest at the Hotel
Portland, has been with the Bisdon Iron
Works since 1S93. and has superintended
the placing of the steel work In many of
The structures which remain standing in
San Francisco.
He has carefully examined the build
ings not burned, and says the Call.
'rocker. St. Francis Hotel, Fairmount
Hotel. Flood. Chronicle and Ferry build
ings, in fact, most of the office buildings,
are left in as good condition, as far as
tiio structural steel in concerned, as they
were before the earthquake and fire. He
scoffs at the idea that the earthquake
damaged these buildings, and declares
that any building on a good foundation
and built entirely of steel will stand
almost any earthquake shock.
Engineer Field is a stickler for good
foundations. If any substantial Struc
tures were disturbed by the temblor, he
says, the blame should be laid to the
made ground on which they stood.
How the steel frames of the San Fran
cisco buildings withstood the intense heat
to which they were subjected has been
a matter of wonder to many people. Mr.
Field explains this by stating that the
main steel supports of modern buildings
are well sheathed in fireproof materials.
Outside of a few minor beams, from
which the temper may have been drawn,
he believes the flames did but little dam
age v the steelwork.
Regarding rebuilding, he says:
In three years the visitor to San Fran
cisco will see but few sign of ths earth
quake and fire. The United States Steel
Corporation will furnish most of the ma
terial for the new city and will supply steel
In any quantity ana at specially low prices,
if necessary. My firm is not taking any
bin contracts as yet, but the people are not
ready to begin the work of reconstruction
until the insurance problem Is settled.
Once they are paid their policies and se
cure ready money the new San Francisco
will Hue in a miraculously short time, more
substantial than before.

PUTS DN SOLID TRAIN
HILL TO COMPETE FOR PORT
LAND PASSENGER TRAFFIC.
Ruruor Says "Oriental Limited" Will
Be Run Between Chicago
and This City.
Dispatches to The Oregonlan from
Chicago state that the Great Northern
will place a solid train in service from
Portland direct to Chicago. This news
cannot be confirmed here, as represen
tatives of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern know nothing of it of
ficially. It would not be a surprise to
local railroaders if this move were
made, even before the Portland &
Seattle Railway is built. It is almost a
foregone conclusion after that time.
It is reported that the Great North
ern's crack train, the "Oriental Limit
ed." will be placed in service direct
from Portland to Chicago at an early
date. This will afford a through serv
ice east over the Hill roads that will
equal in every way the accommodations
offered over the Great Northeish from
the Bound.
The "Oriental Limited" cost the
Great Northern il, 800,000 to build.
There are eight trains continually on
the road between the Sound and St.
Paul. The train represents the acme of
the carbuilder's art and is said to be
the finest thing in railroad transpor
tation in the Northwest. Pulled by an
160-ton locomotive, the "Oriental Lim
ited" does 40 miles an hour with ease.
With the advent of the Portland &
Seattle Railway in Portland, new
schedules to the East, with more fre
quent train service from Portland, will
be offered. The new road will have to
make inducements in either equipment
or speed to get the business to the
East and it is said to be prepared to
do this. From Vancouver to Kenne
wick. the Portland & Seattle will have
a. 5D-rolle-an-hour track. From Kenne
wick to the East it Is to be doubted if
the Great Northern will excel the Union
Pacific tracks, as the latter is in a
splendid condition, particularly after
the Blue Mountains are crossed. From
Huntington to Omaha, great speed can
be made.
Mike Roche's Little Joke.
M. J. Roche, of the E. & R. G., who
is perhaps the champion joker of Port
land's railroad row, yesterday sent a tel
egram to A. L. Craig, general passenger
agent for the Harrlman lines, and J. H.
O'Neill, traveling passenger agent for the
allied lines, at Baker City, offering con
dolences to them on the loss of their
hats while in Pendleton this week. The
message was prompted by a dispatch to
The Oregonlan that the two lost their
hats while attending the circus at Pen
dleton, and were in the crowd when the
circus ftnt blew down. Mr. Roche care
fully signed the names of all the rail
roaders on the row to the message, then
sent it collect. - , .
Special Excursion Rates Given.
On account trt the annual meeting of
the Oregon Pioneer Association in Port
land on June 14. the passenger office of
the Harrlman lines announces a one and
one-third fare from all points on the
lines in the state to Portland and return.
A similar fare for the round trip from
points on the O. R. & N. in Oregon.
Washington and Idaho is offered to May
vlile. Or., and return, on account of the
reunion of the Rinehart family at that
place on June 18, 19 and 20.
Will Issue More Maps.
The 1906 issue of the wall map of the
States of Oregon. Washington and Idaho,
which was printed and distributed by the
Harrlman lines, has created such a wide
demand that an order for a second edi
tion will soon be placed. Already over
5000 maps have been distributed. The
general offices are now preparing framed
copies of the map for hanging in each
station on the Southern Pacific and O.
R. & N. lines throughout the State. New
bulletin boards are being .sent out for
each station on the affiliated lines, also.
Charles G. Whitcomb Promoted.
Charles G. Whitcomb, formerly a clerk
In the offices of General Passenger Agent
A. L. Craig, of the Harriman lines, has
been appointed chief clerk of the New
York Central office, and will commence
work today. , He succeeds Joseph A.
Boyce, who left to become soliciting
freight agent" for the Great Northern.
G. A. Emery, who becomes soliciting
freight agent for the New York Central
lines, will assume his new duties June 1.
ALL TAKE A HAND.
Tie closing out sale of fine pianos and
organs at Eilers Piano House has at
tracted most widespread attention. The
big establishment is crowded every min
ute of the day with people eager to take
advantage of the great sacrifice. There
are some who are inclined to think that
things are a little slow since the San
Francisco catastrophe. "Nonsense." Give
people a genuine bargain in anything,
and there are buyers galore to seize the
opportunity.
