HILL ROAD OFFICIALS HERE Prominent Railroad Men Com to Portland to Consider Settlement of Terminal Difficulties and Other Important Questions. President Howard Elliott of the Northern Pacific Railway denied, in an Interview at the Portland. Hotel last flight, that the increased tariff on lum ber imposed by the transcontinental rail roads, last Fall is responsible for the de pression In the lumber trade of the Northwest, or that the new rate gives the railroads more than a fair profit. Mr. Klliott attributed the fact that the ma jority of the mills in this section of the country had been forced to close down to the general dullness of Industrial con ditions throughout the country, calling attention to the fact that the lumber trade in Minnesota and other Middle Western territory is much quieter than it is in the Pacific Northwest. He frank ly admitted that there -was no hope of compromise or settlement of the rate controversy between the transportation and lumber interests save through judicial channels: thHt the whole matter must be determined by the Federal courts and the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the hands of which bodies the fata of the question now rests. "The conference relative to ,the rate question which was held in Seattle last week." said Mr. Elliott, "advanced the situation no nearer to settlement than it was before, the reason for this being that the railroads believe they are right and the lumber interests, onvthe other hand, believe they are right, and I think It Is only proper that we let the matter rest In statu quo until the Interstate Commerce Commission has adjudfeat ed It. V Merely Talked Matter Over. ' "In this conference, ftt which Presi dent Hill of the Great Northern and myself represented the two northern roads, and at which the lumber inter ests presented their side of the case through President Furth of the Pugct Sound National Bank and Frederick 13ausman on behalf of certain commer cial interests, we did nothing more than talk the matter over, and It appeared that we could come to no agreement. "VYe, that is the railroads, believe we have been hauling lumber from the Pa cific Northwest at too low a rate, and that Is the only reason the advanced tariff schedule was put into effect. The lumber interests of this territory are not so badly off as are those of Minne sota and the neighboring territory. Busi ness is much quieter there than it is here.. The new tariff cannot be held responsible for the depression in the lumber business here. "The public seems to have a -wrong Impression of this question. There is no hard feeling, no bitterness between the railroads and the lumbermen. Each side understands the other. We have dis cussed the matter detail by detail and point by point in a perfectly friendly manner and the whole thing in a nut shell is that there 1s an honest differ ence of opinion as to -whether v the new rate is a just and equitable one. The railroads say it is and the lumbermen declare that it imposes an excessive bur den upon them." Will Make No. Prediction. Asked if he cared to venture any guess n.s to when industrial conditions of the country would be restored to a formal bimis, Mr. Elliott replied: "1 am not a prophet, and" one man's guess is Just as good aa another's. So far as our Interests are concerned, they are in fine shape, and we are going right ahead with our plans the same a.s if there had been no flurry; but as to the general business situation, I have noth ing further to say than that I am study ing them carefully on my present trip, and have no comment to make as to the future." The president of the Northern Paciflo then entered a vigorous denial of the newspaper story from Seattle that his road intended to bore another tunnel through the Cascade Mountains and to abandon the present Stampede tunnel. "Our present trip to the Coast," con tinued the railroad magnate, "has been one of careful inspection, study of Condi tions and questions which we have to meet. We have been away from St. Paul for two weeks, and will not get baok home for at least another week. We haven't been making much over 200 miles a day, because we desire to be thorough. We ran our special train over the new Northern Pacific from Kalama to Van couver, arriving there this afternoon, and looked over the terminal facilities' and saw ' what progress was being made. While here we shall no doubt take up the question of using the tracks of the North ern Pacitic Terminal Company with the proper Harrlman officials, and I hope for an early and amicable settlement, but I cannot say as to Just what steps we shall take, as yet. Packing-lrouse Matters Vp. "Matters relating to terminal facilities and connections with the packing-house tract on the Peninsula will, no doubt, be taken up with Mr. Swift and the other Swift officials now here, but that is a matter In which I am not very well posted, and will be left for the officials of the NoKth Bank road to take care of. "We shall remain here all day tomor row and Tuesday, and on Wednesday morning we will leave by boat and go up tho river along the right of way of the North Bank to some point near Collins. We haven't decided Just where we will land. Meantime our train will be sent around and we will board it and continue an inspection tour over the whole North Hank line. We will also' visit the "WTUla Walla country and probably cover a good part of the whole Inland' Empire before returning to St. Paul." Summed up .briefly, the present visit here of President Elliott, together with the large array of Northern Pacific offi cials, Is an Important one to this sec tion from the fact that three big ques tions will divide the attention of these officials one. the lumber industry and the rate controversy: another, the settle ment of the dispute with the Northern Pacitic Terminal Company (and President Elliott declared last night that the re fusal of the Harriman people to let the North Bank road enter Portland across !he Terminal Company's tracks Is the Kieatest obstacle in . the North 'Bank's way); and the third question is the ar rangement for terminals and connections with the Swift packing plant on the Pen nsula. Party a Distinguished One. In the Northern Pacilic party every branch of railroad management is repre sented executive, legal, traffic, operat ing, passenger and railroad land. The party consists of the following people: Howard Elliott, president, St. Paul: Amos T. French, director. New York; H. C. Nutt. general manager Western di vision, Tacoma; C. A. Clark, treasurer, St. Paul; Henry Blakeley, general West ern freight agent, Tacoma; A. M. Cle land, general passenger agent, St. Paul; J. G. Woodworth, traffic manager, St. Paul: Thomas Cooper, land commissioner, St. Paul: B. S. Grosscup, counsel, Ta coma: J. L. Ames, secretary to President Elliott. St. Paul. As soon as the distinguished party ar rived in Portland they ' repaired to the Portland Hotel, where temporary head quarters has been established for the stay in Portland. Last night conferences were held with the following officials of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle: President Francis B. Clarke, General Counsel Charles H. Carey, of Carey & Kerr; Chief Engineer N. D. Miller, of Vancouver, and other operating and traffic officials, the purpose of these conferences being to map out a programme for the three days the Elliott party will be in and around Portland. In relation to the dispute with the Ter minal -Company, one of the important questions to be settled is whether an at tempt'will be made to reach an amicable agreement with the Harrlman people while President Elliott is here, or whether to wait until the controversy is settled In court in April, when the cases have been set for trial. It is admitted that if the wrangle can be settled now, work can be started in putting in the cross-over tracks from the North Bank terminals over the Termnlal Company tracks and operation of the road into Portland can thereby be Inaugurated several months earlier than could otherwise take place, should the matter be fought out in the courts. In case additional conferences to be held between the legal departments of the two great opposing systems in the next two days should result in a satis factory compromise, the court proceed ings now pending will be dismissed and work on the terminal tracks from the Portland end will be begun within a very short time, enabling the work on the west side of the river to be completed as soon as. If not sooner than, the bridges across the rivers will be ready for traffic. It was dated last night by President Clarke, of the North Bank, that trains would be In operation the whole length of the line from Vancouver to Pasco within a month. PROTECT BANK DEPOSITS A. E. Clark Explains State Insur ance Plan in People's Forum. That a law should be passed by the next Legislature requiring every bank to pay into the state treasury a certain per centage of Its capital, the fund thus sub scribed to be used in taking care of .losses due to bank failures, was the suggestion made last night by A. E. Clark In his address on "Banjc Deposit Insurance," be fore the People's Forum. The speaker had muchfjo say in commendation of & similar law recently passed by the Legis lature of OklfJioma. He said It had had the effect of Inducing the people of sur rounding states to deposit their money in Oklahoiha banks, having, as they did, confidence that their deposits were In sured against loss. This plan, Mr. Clark said, is already being discussed In Idaho, and it is prob able that a law similar to the one now In force In Oklahoma will be enacted in that state at the coming session of the Legislature. "I believe we should create a fund of $1,000,000 to start -with," said Mr. Clark, "and let It be placed In the State Treas ury to be loaned out In some way. In stead of investing in bonds and stocks, I think a better plan would be for the state to deposit this money in the various banks of the state, In proportion to the capital stock of each bank. In this way the money would always be subject to call at a moment's notice. Should a failure oc cur and this insurance fund be insuffi cient, then every bank In the state should bo called upon for an amount, based on its capital, to make good the deficiency, and then, when the assets are converted into cash, return the proceeds to the treasury. "If you will pass some law, devise some plan which will give the depositor the assurance that his money is safe, that should the bank fail he Is to be reim bursed, you will never see another clearing-house certificate in this state." A NEW DEPARTURE. The cost of interments has been greatly reduced by the Holman Undertaking Company. Heretofore It has been the custom of funeral directors to make charges for all Incidentals connected with a funeral. The Edward Holman Undertaking Company, tho leading funeral directors of Portland, have departed from that cus.tom. When casket is furnished by us we make no extra charges for embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside box or any services that may be required of us, except clothing, cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a saving of is to $75 on each funeral.

McMillan Decides Not to Enter Race for the Shrievalty. MAY TRY FOR LEGISLATURE 3lich-Talked-or Republican Possi bility Says Business Friends Ad vised His Action Stevens An Bounces llis Candidacy. Republican aspirants for the office now. held by Sheriff Stevens are-scarce thus far, and seem to be avoiding a race against Stevens Jn the primaries, April 17. The only avowed Republican competitor of Stevens Is N. H. Bird, and there are doubts whether he will run. George W. McMillan, boomed for some time as a candidate, yesterday an nounced that he wils not run. This was after a meeting between him and Stevens in the Multnomah Club. Stev ens made known last evening that he will fie his primary notice of candi dacy today. McMillan may run for the Legis lature, but lias not made up his mind in this matter. As to his talked-of candidacy for Sheriff, he remarked: I should dem it a great honor to be elected to the office of Sheriff by the people of Multnomah County, but per sons who have helped me in a business way, and for whose judgment I have the greatest , respect, have advised against my running at this time. I am more thjin thankful to the many who have offered to help me were I a can didate. I shall consult my friends, and If they agree that it will not hurt my business in any way, I may be a can didate for the Legislature. I have de cided not to become a candidate for Sheriff." Eliminates Strongest Rival. This decision of McMillan's elimi nates from the run for Sheriff the strongest rival of Stevens, thus far boomed for the office. While McMillan was confident he could make a strong run and perhaps win, it is understood that Stevens' strength was one of the conditions that dissuaded him. Stev ens will have the support of. several large elements that fought him two years ago the foes of open town, who then supposed he would reverse the policies or Sheriff Tom Word and al low gambling and open town accesso ries. Stevens has entirely disproved that supposition, and says he will con tinue, if elected, along law-enforcement lines. "I don't know that I have any new planks in my platform," said the Sher iff, in discussing his candidacy last night. "I expect to go before the peo ple under promise to do what is riefht. A second-term nomination for the office of Sheriff of this county has become such a time-honored custom that I pre sume my formal announcement as a candidate will hardly create surprise. In the official declaration of my in tention to become a candidate, which I will file with the County Clerk to morrow, I shall promise to perform my duties as prescribed by law.' in ac cordance with my, oath of office, if re elected. , Continue Present Policy. "I will. If re-elected, continue my present policy of strict adherence to business rules In the conduct of the office, and I will continue to enforce all laws with strict impartiality. From both a moral and a business standpiont, my policy has been the policy of the people, and I have endeavored to carry out their wiBhes in a manner which would leave .them no cause for regret at having honored me with the term now nearing its close. "I have promises to make of any change in my present policy, but If re-elected, I will continue to strive for the highest possible standard of- ef ficiency In the administration of the office. There has been no change since my first election in my intentions and desires to do what Is right and to merit the approval of the taxpayers. I feel, however, that my two years' experi ence in the office has perhaps qualified From. Sailed. ..San Diego Jan. 15 ..Newcastle, N. S.

"Of course I am out to win, and I do not expect as hard a struggle as I had two years ago. The fact that I was comparatively unknown in politics at that time created a suspicion that I might, if elected, attempt to carry out a policy detrimental to the best Inter ests of the city and county. I think tiie conduct of the office has satisfied the people who elected me. If . re elected, 1 will do my best to continue to merit their approval. "I feel very grateful to my thou sands of friends whose efforts made possible a first term, and who are again most unselfishly exerting them selves In my behalf, and I am also under obligations to a large number who could not see their way clear to support me two years ago, but who are now giving me most cordial assurance of their support." Word Democratic Choice. The only candidate for the Demo cratic nomination is Tom Word, so that it seems likely that the contest will lie between Stevens and Word in the elec tion. Stevens defeated WQrd two years ago by '25 votes. Word has foes in the Democratic ranks, who then bolted, and constituted one of the elements that elected Stevens. This faction would like to defeat Word in the pri maries, but is not confident of its abil ity' to do it. E IjOXG PASSAGE GOIXG SOUTH AND SHORT OXE NOKTH.
