PAYS FLYING VISIT
Sir
Edgar Vincent Passes
Through Portland.
NOTED AS A ' FINANCIER
AVon Distinction by Work for
Rehabilitation of Egypt's Fi
nances Investigating Indus
trial Conditions In America.
Sir BdRar Vincent, of London, England,
one of the foremost financiers of Europe,
ranking in British banking and industrial
affairs as do the Morgans and Rockefel
lers in this country, paid Portland a brief
visit yesterday. Sir Edgar is not only
distinguished as a financier, but also In
affairs of state in England. He also is a
multi-millionaire and a shareholder in a
number of transcontinental railroad prop
erties in this country. One object of his
visit to America is to Inspect the prop
erties in which he Is Interested, and to
study conditions, -with a view to recom
mending the investment of additional
British capital in this country, particu
larly in the West.
While In California he wa-s In consulta
tion with capitalists and industrial lead
ers, and Is said to have Interested him
self particularly in the Union Pacific and
Santa Fe systems, though he declined to
affirm this in an interview at the Port
land, yesterday.
He was accompanied from San Fran
cisco to Portland by Paul F. Mohr. one
of the leading railroad builders of the
Northwest, a former Portlander, but now
of San Francisco. It is understood that
Sir Edgar Inquired into Industrial con
ditions and properties while here and
spent most of the day touring- the city.
Further than to say he was interested In
all such matters in a general way, he
would not discuss his trip. He was
greatly interested when informed of the
presence here of President Elliott, of the
Northern Pacilic, and his party, as well
as of Louis F. Swift, president of Swift
& Co.
Sir EdgarVincent is the man whom the
British Government sent to Egypt in
1883 tOj become financial adviser of. the
new Khedive, to whom the British Gov
ernment had just restored authority, fol
lowing the defeat of Arab! Pasha, the
state then being in an exhausted tinan-.
cial condition, but he wrought such
changes, that within a short time impov
erished Egypt was on the high road to
financial recovery, and at the end of
seven years, when he retired, was fully
on her feet.
Knighted by Queen.
For his splendid achievements in this
work of rehabilitation, he was knighted
in 1887, being gazetted to. that conspicu
ous honor and title by Her Majesty Queen
Victoria. This title. It should be under
stood, is conferred solely as a reward
for extraordinary service to the crown.
In retiring from the post of financial
adviser to the Viceroy of Egypt, In 1890
he was Immediately appolpted to, the
governorship of the Ottoman Bank at
Constantinople, one of the greatest finan
cial Institutions in Europe. - He served
in this capacity for seven years, after
which he returned to England and was
immediately elected to Parliament as a
Conservative, and for eight years he rep
resented Exeter district in the House of
Commons and was the leading figure In
all debates on finance and political econ
omy. Then, after 22 years of continuous serv
ice for his government, he retired rrom
public life to take charge of his own vast
interests, and his present tour is one of
recreation, the first he has had in nearly
a quarter of a century.
Sir Edgar is a man of Imposing pres
ence. He stands 6 feet 2 inches in height
and is of stalwart build. To his com
manding appearance is added an "ex
quisite personal charm, and his forcerul
character and indomitable will is mani
fest In every word.
"So much like London," was his first
comment on Portland weather, "and I
don't mind it a bit. In fact, it seems
altogether homelike. I am on a tour of
pleasure and rest, observing those things
in which I think all men are Interested,
and I don't mind saying that I find
American institutions and American peo
ple an intensely fascinating study. I left
London last December, and have trav
eled leisurely across the continent by the
Southern route, and spending about- six
days in San Francisco and California.
Returns by Canadian.
"I am sorry I shan't have more time
here, but I must be on my way. I will
stop in Seattle for a day or so. and will
then return to Montreal and the East by
way of the Canadian- Pacific, reaching
home about March 15.
. "Something was said in the dispatches
a week or so ago that I was- on the
Coast looking up "opportunities for in
vestment of FJnglish money tn railway
properties, but it really isn't so. I'm
just looking about a bit as I go along,'
and really represent nobody but myself. '
Sir Edgar declined to discuss the in
dustrial situation In this country, or In
his own, and said he did not think it
proper for him to make any observations
on the financial conditions here or abroad.
The distinguished visitor left for Seat
tle late last night, accompanied by Mr.
Mohr. The latter, who lived here for
many years, built the old portage road
from The Dalles to Columbus, the strat
egic link in what is now the North Bank
road. It was the purchase Qf this line by
the Northern Pacific that enabled that
system to construct the North Bank road.
Mr. Mohr also built the Seattle, Lake
Shore & Eastern, which was also ac
quired by the Northern Pacific, and Js
npw known as the Seattle & Interna
tional. Another line constructed by him
in the Pacific Northwest was the Spo
kane & Palouse, and his latest work has
been the building of the Yosemite Val
ley road, which taps the Tosemite Na
tional Park. This line he completed about
two years ago.

A committee representing the Rose
Festival has been selected by President

of enlisting the support of that system
in the matter of securing low tourist

bration, and also to ask Mr. Cleland to

MEDFORD, Or., Feb. 9. (Special.)
The Inland Empire excursion arrived on
schedule time this afternoon. Medford's
population, headed by the cornet band,
turned out enmas.se to welcome the ex
cursionists. Mr. ' Colvlg, president of the
Commercial Club, welcomed the visitors
and Captain W. E. Goodall, of Spokane,
responded on behalf of the travelers in
a well-chosen and humorous address. Mr.
Justin, of Dayton, was called upon and
told of the glories of the section whence
he had come to view the offerings of
other climes.

Medford had arranged to meet the ex
cursionists with 60 automobiles and take
the visitors for a spin about the city,
but, owing to the condition underfoot,
the arrangement was foregone and Mr.
Colvig was forced to explain to the vis
itors that the condition of Medford's main
street was due to the heavy freighting
now being carried on between the Blue
Ledge mine, on the west, and the fam
ous timber belt on the east of Medford.
The speakers responded to Mr. Colvig's
invitation to come and dwell In this par
adise by setting forth the glories of
their Inland Empire.
The first snow fall of the season cov
ered the ground to a depth of one inch
this morning, but disappeared by noon,
although the foothills still remain covered.
