lO THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1907. 'MONEY TIGHT ANO i Delay of Harriman Projects in Oregon Explained by Julius Kruttschnitt. HERE ON INSPECTION TOUR Director of Maintenance and Opera tion of Great Harriman System Discusses Transportation Ques tions Car Shortage Over. Tightness of tho money market, to gether with the lack .of labor, is tem porarily holding back many Important railway projects and is wielding an in fluence against progress of the Oregon Eastern from Natron to Ontario. So says Julius Kruttschnitt, director of operation and maintenance of the Harriman lines, who was in Portland for a short time yesterday and departed at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon on a special train for an inspection of the O. R. & X. system and branch lines, In company with General Manager J. P. O'Brien and W. W. Cotton, chief counsel of the Northwest interests. Mr. Kruttschnitt stated before departing that he was not certain how long he would be on the . journey, but expected to return, via Portland, and start for the East by way of San Francisco. "I went to Seattle merely to talk with J. D. Farrel regarding the Oregon & Washington Railroad project." he said. "That is not in shape for beginning con struction work as yet. Nothing has been done with reference to starting on the Oregon Kastern, and most of the con struction work is at a standstill becauso of the stringency of the money market, coupled with the lack of laborers. It Is not alarming, but appears to be a gen eral condition. I cannot say whether it Is due to recent legislation adverse to the railroad interests or is attributable to other causes." In speaking of the heavy travel to the Pacific Northwest and its progressive growth, Mr. Kruttschnitt admitted he had given considerable thought to the problem of getting through trains to des tination on time. "It appears that about the only plan open Is to divorce the express business from the regular trains," he said. "On the trains arriving in Portland you will often find four cars ahead of the coaches. One of them will be a mall car and another a baggage car. while it is safe to say, on the average, the other two contain ex press matter. When it is taken Into con sideration that the express business Is largely made up of small packages and frequently from three to four handtruck loads are loaded at most stations, it will be realized how time is lost. The con dition Is not confined to the Coast, but Is general all over the entire country. The only roads which are able to main tain schedules are those operating fast passenger trains between New York and Chicago, but they carry neither express nor mails, and stops are made only to change engines, which requires only from two to three minutes. Lost Time Hard to RecoTer. "A mistake Is made by the public in assuming lost time is overcome between stations. The time is lost at stations and can only be made up, as a usual thing, by getting away promptly. It would not be a difficult matter to educate the pub lic to boarding trains immediately on arrival and thereby avoid delay If It was not for the fact haste Is usually unnecessary because trains stop long enough loading express to give all plenty of time to get aboard. What to do with the express is a question. In some lo calities it could be taken care of by local trains, but perhaps some sort of a fast freight and express train will have to be run. On the Southern Pacific between Ean Francisco and Portland there are three through trains In operation and often at least one of them Is run In two Bections, and all are crowded." I reply to a question as to the car mpply outlook for the season of 1307-08, Mr. Kruttschnitt declared the Harriman lines have sufficient motive power and enough freight equipment to care for the business if the public will do its share towards facilitating the unloading of cars. "Iast year was an unusual one with the roads. particularly the northern lines," he said. "They had snow troubles snd that handicapped them during the Winter, while In the Spring washouts and other damage to the roadbeds re tarded' operation. For 1907 delivery the Harriman lines ordered 2t5 locomotives and all but 80 or 90 of them have been received. About 17,000 box cars were bought, with other freight equipment, and over 6000 cars for refrigerator serv ice. Importance of Prompt Iioailing. "Previous to the placing of those or ders the Harriman lines owned 66,000 box and flat dars. If twice or three times the number were available there would still be a car shortage unless cars are unloaded' at destinations as soon as pos sible. It would not take long to load 65.000 cars In the Harriman system, and when they were moved the system would . have no f urtlier freight facilities unless they were released on arriving at des tination with dispatch. Naturally 10 per cent saved In time means ten per cent more equipment available, and if shippers will only bear In mind the fact they are helping themselves when helping the railroads get cars Into service again, that will prove the best salutlon of the car shortage problem.' "Last season conditions were unprece dented. There were record-breaking crops that had to be moved, while the lumber movement was heavy and other classes of business transacted in greater volume. At the same time coal and cat tle had to be moved despite the demand for other commodities, and It all tended to make matters more discouraging. The question of releasing cars has been taken up by the American Railway Association, and I am a member of a committee which has been at work during the year trying to illustrate the necessity of un loading cars with dispatch, and In many Instances we have succeeded In cutting down the free time materially. From the British Columbia line to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific we have carried on the campaign, and feel that It has borne fruit. At Portland, for ex ample, headway was gained, but the re sults are not so apparent at any one point. It must be remembered that there are between 20,000 and 30.000 stations where the work can be facilitated, and if shippers at every point would do their share, the car shortage would be a thing of the past." WORK OX UNITED RAILWAYS Connection Being Made Between Front and Flanders-Street Lines. Gangs in the employ of the United Rail ways have started work at Front and Flanders streets putting In a curve to Join the two lines while Front street is LABQHEKS SCARC being torn up for a short distance to connect the Front-street belt line with the tracks of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company. On Flanders- street another force has removed hard pavement between Sixth and Park streets to the width of one track and more work is being carried on between that point and Twelfth street. In about two weeks the line will be com pleted so as to effect a Junction with that on Twelfth street extending to Petty grove, which Is the only line in place when the United Railways took over the defunct Oregon Traction project. Presi dent Benham remains in charge of the United Railways' affairs and he may not be succeeded by E. E. Lytle for some time. FIRST SPAX IS NOW IX PLACE Oregon Electric Bridge at Wllson ville Assuming Shape. Such good fortune attended the efforts of the bridge gang of the Willamette Construction Company in swinging the first span of the Oregon Electric Railway bridge over the Willamette River, at Wilsonville, that Chief Engineer Donald presented the workers with good boxes of fragrant needs. Two additional spans remain to be put in position and it is hoped to have the work completed so work trains can be operated over the structure by August 16. When the crossing Is ready a part of the construction force will be assigned to the grading beyond the river and more men will be employed to assist them in PICTURES OF PROGRESS . .... ,.,-.1Tffrirr,. -f,--flrrifr?''V-if-,iiffiiivifrwii WOKK OX BUILDING FOR DAVID 8. 6TKARNS.

"I contemplate investing in Port land property," said Nelson Rich, of Prosser, Wash., member of the rail road contracting firm of Rich & Har ris, yesterday. Mr. Rich is spending a few days in Portland on his way home from Connecticut, where he has been superintending a large contract for which his firm received the award several weeks ago. Before going East Mr. Rich carried out a large number of contracts for the Northern Pacific in the State of Washington. "Conditions favor Portland as the most important city on the Pacific Coast," said Mr. Rich as he made sur vey of the different skyscrapers to be seen from the Perkins Hotel, where he Is stopping, "and I have made up my mind to make investments here as a good, sound, business proposition. Have not made any purchases yet, but shall do so as soon as I find something that suits me. The Lewis & Clark Exposition served only to awaken tne people of Portland and the entire state to a realization of their possibili ties, and they are certainly continuing to make the most of them. Instead of experiencing the slump In business and real estate values that was pre dicted for the several years following the Fair, Portland has continued to forge ahead, and she is still progress ing. The Rose City has a promising future." Having Just returned from tne At lantic Coast. Mr. Rich says Oregonlans do not half appreciate the delightful climate of this section. Pensioned by Hill Road. Edward S. Elliott, bridge tender on the Madison-street bridge, has Just re ceived from the Northern Pacific Rail road Company back pay to the amount of 600, accompanied by the ..nounce ment fnat he had been granted a monthly pension from the company or $50 40 to continue for the rest of his life Mr. Elliott was employed for 37 consecutive years as engineer fur the Northern Pacific Company, from whose employ he resigned a year ago. BUILD FACTORY AT FULTON Portland Mattress & rpholstery Company Purchases Site. The Portland Mattress & Upholstery Company has purchased an acre and a half adjoining on the west the property of the Oregon Furniture Company, on Macadam road, and will begin imme diately to erect a two-story factory. 0 by 100 feet, and a three-story warehouse of the same dimensions. The property was a part of the Bingham estate. It is estimated that the cost of the erection and equipment of the factory will be about $30,000 and that the total cost for the erection of the two buildings, exclusive of equipment, will be $10,000. Three factories in the same line will then be located in the Fulton neighbor hood, being a chair factory, furniture factory and establishment for the man ufacture of mattresses and for uphol stering.

NEWS COMES AS SURPRISE Unexpected Announcement Follows Conference Between Hill Officials and Contractors in This City. Handle 190 7 Wheat Crop. By November 1 the last spike will be driven In the Portland & Seattle Rail- IN THE MAKING OF A GREATER PORTLAND No. 5 road between Kennewick and Vancouver, and within a few days after that date trains will be in operation over that sec tion of the line, which means Its entire completion with- the exception of the bridges to span the Columbia- and Wil lamette rivers and the tracks into Port land. This conclusion was definitely reached yesterday at a conference be tween the contractors who have the work in hand. Chief Engineer Darling and other representatives of the company. The conference was held at the Hotel Portland. The announcement that the Washing ton division of the North Bank line will be completed this Fall comes as a sur prise. It has been believed that trains would not be running between Kenne wick and Vancouver before January 1, but the large gangs of laborers have been grading. filling, tunneling and bridging steadily and rapidly, and the announcement Is authoritative that the last rail will be laid by November 1. Until yesterday the officials of the company themselves did not know at ex actly what date construction would ' be completed. In order to reach a definite conclusion the contractors were called together and. In company with Mr. Darling, carefully checked over the work that has been done and ascertained Just what Is yet to be accomplished. It was found that unless something entirely un foreseen occurs, the grading along this entire division of the road will be done by October 15 and two weeks more will be required to finish laying the rails. Heavy Work Completed. All the heavy work on the North Bank line has now been completed. The tun nels have all been driven, the heavy cuts have been finished and other obstacles of moment have been overcome. The grad ing work was not taken up in the first place from any particular point,' but was sublet by Slmms & Shields, the con tractors, to be carried on from camps all along the route. In this way the different divisions have been completed almost simultaneously, and the connect ing of fills is practically all that now re mains to make the level path for the ties complete from end to end of the Washington division. Already rails have been laid "for 90 miles from Kennewick westward. As the entire stretch of the road is 229 miles In length, there remains 139 miles to be laid. Tracklaying, however, can go on with great rapidity, now that the grading Is so nearly done. Of the remainder of the project, 40 miles of rails will be laid from the Vancouver terminus, and . the rest will be placed as a continuation of the construction from the Kennewick end.' To expedite the grades and get them In. readiness for the rails, 14 steam shovels and a large force of men are now being employed. The completion of the' road - to Van couver is an important announcement to Portland, as traffic over the road to this city will at once be Inaugurated. Al though Vancouver will be the terminus until the Portland section Is completed, the great bulk of passenger traffic will Immediately be to this city. It is not known Just what arrangements will be made, but the passengers will for tlje time being be brought to this city by boat or over the line of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. Much freight will also doubtless be brought here at once by boat from Vancouver. . Well Along With Bridges. The bridge work across both the Columbia and Willamette is being car ried on without the loss of a day's time. The shore span of the Vancouver end of the Columbia bridge has been In stalled and the remainder of the steel will be swung Into place when the water goes down. Work on the Willamette bridge is also progressing well and It is believed that the trains will be op erated Into Portland by February 1. The early completion of the road will probably result In the transportation down the north bank of a large portion of this j'ear's wheat crop from Eastern Washington. While Portland will not this year get the full benefit which the city will, later derive from the new Hill line. a portion of the crop will undoubtedly be brought here. The first announcement that Hill was to enter Portland down the north bank of the Columbia was made In the Fall of 1905.. At that time also the first right-of-way qontracts were secured and from then to the present time he project has gone constantly forward. At times labor troubles have Interfered and a still greater obstacle has been conflicts over right-of-way privileges, but In spite of these difficulties and some heavy tunnel ing and grading, the construction has been rapid. When completed it will be one of the best stretches of roadbed in the United States and is declared by Hill officials to be without exception the best In the Northwest. ON MAYOR LANE'S TRAIL East Side Business Men Demand Representation in Government. The East Side Business Men's Club at Its meeting last night decided to appoint a committee to wait on Mayor' Lanfe to ask that an East Side business man be appointed a member of the executive board. This Is in line with the resolu tions passed at the former meeting. Sec retary Biglow reported that the Mayor had answered the resolutions to the ef fect that the request contained in them would be taken under consideration, but as no action had been taken and there was a vacancy on the board It was con- ':" v S'W' m.$vv- sidered best that a committee be appoint ed to call on the Mayor and talk the mat ter over with him in person, setting forth the reasons for the request. President Calef will appoint this committee later. In the matter of the club rooms, Secre tary Biglow was authorized to secure quarters in the Healy block on Grand avenue and East Morrison street. A favorable offer of quarters was received from M. M. Rlngler, who rents the uppgr portion of the building. There was a long discussion of the question of publicity for the East Side business men. It was finally decided to offer four prizes for the four best and most effective advertising phrases, which are to be short, containing two, three or four words. The prizes will be articles ranging In value from $20 down to $5. ana anybody who can think of a phrase that will pass muster may get a Morris chair, a suit of clothes, a panama hat or some other article. H. A. Calef, C. A. Biglow, Lon Kellaher and O. S. Fulton were appointed a special committee on these prizes, which will be awarded dur ing the coming month. REV. W. S.

SWINDLED MERCHANTS TOO Posed as a Canvasser and Pawned Goods Bought on Installment Plan Simple Methods Worked Very Well. A complete confession made yesterday by J. C. Tannis, alias Darcey, to Acting Detective Price of the Police- Department, brands Tannis as the most important criminal recently captured In Portland. By his own admissions, he has committed a large number of crimes. Including the robbery of many nickle-in-the-slot tele phone boxes, and has also worked clever swindles on some of the most prominent merchants in the city. Tannis was charged with grand larceny yesterday by Manager David Jarvis of the Winona Woolen Mills, which corporation was a heavy loser through the operations of the prisoner. Several other felony charges are to be filed against him later, including the robbing of the telephone company. Tannis had two specialties robbing telephone boxes and purchasing clothing on Installments and pawning It for what ever he could get. He was very suc cessful in this work, and must have made considerable money during his two weeks' operations nere. The confessed criminal was captured In the Tennessee saloon. Fourth and Madi son streets, at 10 o'clock Wednesday night, through the efforts of Detective Price, who had seen him there the pre vious evening and had instructed the bartender to keep a close watch on him and call for . the police should he at tempt to rob the telephone box. This very thing occurred, and the scheme of the officer worked out to a nicety. When confronted by Patrol Pergeant Cole, who hurried to the scene. Tennis was defiant, and being a veritable giant in stature put up a desperate tight for liberty. Sergeant Cole, who Is a large man him self, held his own until the arrival of a patrol wagon, with Detective Price and Jailer Endlcott. Tannis still defied the officers, but was handcuffed and taken to headquarters, where evidence of his guilt was found in his possession. At that time he refused to make any state ment, but yesterday he was confronted with proof of his crimes and he frankly admitted everything. Little is known of the prisoner's previous record, but he says that he came from Wisconsin. He will not talk of-his family, but says he Is single. His room was searched yesterday and a large valise was found there, filled with plunder of various kinds. Including women's clothing and some small wax dolls, showing It Is thought that Tannis practically took everything movable when he entered a place to loot It. Detective Price was busily engaged yes terday Investigating the cases against Tannis. and established the fact that the prisoner has committed numerous crimes, among which the following, have been admitted by the prisoner: Theft of a canvassing outfit from The Oregonian Encyclopedia Club; borrowed $2 from E. G. Jones and failed to repay It. Purchased suit of clothing from the Eastern Outfitting Company on the In stallment plan, and pawned the suit. Purchased a suit and hat from I. Gevurtz on the installment plan and pawned It. Robbed the cash register of the Winona Woolen Mills of $25; pawned one of the firm's sample cases; stole and pawned silk garments and other goods. Stole a telephone battery from some unknown place and pawned it. Stole a mandolin from an unknown place and pawned It. Robbed the nickle-ln-the-slot boxes attached to the telephones In the Union Depot, the Liberty saloon. Twenty-third and Savler streets; the Richelieu saloon, Sixth and Couch streets; Tennessee saloon. Fourth and Madison streets. Tannis, alias Darcey, was clever In his operations, and Impressed those with whom he dealt that he wa.f a "hustler." The people at the Winona Mills thought him a great trade-getter, as he Is said to have filled a large number of fake orders, billing goods to false numbers and collecting commissions on them. Where Tannis shone as a criminal, however, was In robbing telephone boxes. He had a key to one of the old style boxes, which he used on that kind, but for a new variety. Just Installed In many places, he used a cold chisel. His system was simple. He would enter a saloon and order a drink, after which he would casually request the use of the tele phone. He would then place himself be fore the Instrument in soch a way as to completely hide It, when he would un lock It or break It and remove the con tents. Rush to Europe to Spend Money.

A Yorkstate minister, who is interested not only In the spiritual welfare of bis congregation, but in their physical well being, says: "I can now do an immense amount of work and feel no fatigue, for the reason that I am using Grape-Nuts food and have quit coffee entirely and am using Postum Food Coffee In Its place. "Myself and family are all greatly im proved in health. We have largely aban doned the use of white bread. Upwards of 25 persons have changed their diet, on my recommendation. It is gladly given, because I know, from personal experi ence, whereof I speak." It is a well-known fact that white bread Is almost entirely composed of starch and this la difficult of digestion by many peo ple particularly those who have weak in testinal digestion. The result of the use of much white bread Is a lack of brain and nervous power to do mental work and it also creates Intestinal troubles, because the excess of starch ferments In the intestines and makes the condition right for the growth of microbes; where as Grape-Nuts food contains the needed starch, but in a predlgested form. That Is, it is transformed Into grape-sugar in the process of manufacture, and deliv ered in the packages, ready cooked, and in such shape that it is immediately as similated without . hard work of the di gestive organs.
