THE MORNING OREC ONIAN, TUESDAY, JULY 28, I90S.
T
REACH THIS CITY
Road of Mystery Seems to Be
Allied With.St. Paul or
Canadian Pacific.
WORK IS BEING RUSHED
Plans a Sow Outlined Will Include
Terminals at Seattle, Tacoma and
Portland, With 700 Miles or
Branches and Extensions.
That the mysterious North Coast Rail
road, projected and under construction
from 6pokane to Seattle. Tacoma and
Portland, will bring either the St. Paul
or Canadian Pacific, or both, into Port
land. Is the belief In railroad circles.
Work Is progressing favorably on the
North Coast and by the time the St. Paul
completes its own line to the Puget
Sound cities and is ready to come into
Portland. It is uelleved the North Coast
will be ready to permit the use of its
line to this city for that purpose.
The North Coast Railroad is now pro
vided for, Includes the following lines
and branches: Spokane to Seattle, 37S
miles: Portland Junction ,to Portland. 85
miles; Klona to Walla Walla, 68 miles:
Spokane to Tekoa, 41 miles: Ritzv-ille
Junction to Walla Walla, St miles; Da
venport branch, 45 miles; total, 701 miles.
Of this mileage, 40 have been graded
In the Yakima Valley. Construction of
the Palouse branch is in progress. Sur
veying crews of the road are at work
at many points throughout Eastern and
Central Washington and every Indication
is that the project will be completed as
mapped out. Distances of the North
Coast, as compared with the mileage of
existing roads between the same points,
show that the new road has much the
best of it. Oreat care is being taken to
seek out and occupy the best possible
routes, with easy grades and straight
lines as the prizes to be sought.
Fine Mountain Grades.
The result of this careful work is shown
In the grades secured over the Cascade
Mountains. The North Coast route as
surveyed gives a maximum grade over
the summit of the range of per cent
and 6 per cent curvature, as compared
with 2 1-5 per cent grade and 10 per cent
curvature on the best existing lines.
R. E. Strahorn, president of the North
Coast, has Involved the project in a
great deal of mystery since its inception.
Where the money came from to build the
line and what group of capitalists It rep
resented has always been In- doubt. In
a recent Interview. Mr. 8trahorn said:
"From Tekoa the North Coast would
give the St. Paul a splendid entrance Into
Spokane and from Spokane would give
the Canadian Pacific or St. Paul, or any
other new road, a fine line to Portland
and the Coast generally. From Walla
Walla or southeast of there, we could
give such lines as Gould's Western Pa
cific or the Northwestern and several
others headed this way the best possible
lines to Spokane and Puget Sound and a
good line to Portland.
Short Line Southward.
"From Portland we can give lines
approaching from California on the south
east the shortest and best line to all the
best business centers and largest traffic
"producing regions in the State of Wash
ington.. We also expect to do a good deal
of business at certain points with roads
already constructed. It Is only natural
and in line with such developments In
older countries that a lot of tracks be
tween common points will be used by
more than one company.
'1 would not be surprised to see two
or three different companies using cer
tain North Coast railroad mileage and
terminals thus greatly reducing their
Interest and operating charges and giving
the public every advantage of the in
creased service at lower rates than If
every new road coming into the North
west is compelled to build clear through
to Its destination, create and maintain
new terminals, and thus vastly and use
lessly increase the general "burden of
railroad construction, maintenance. In
terest charges and operation, all of which
must come out of the public In the end."
CHAMBER SENDS INVITATIONS
Hills and Elliott Asked to Attend
North Bank Opening Celebration.
Invitations went forward yesterday to
James J. Hill, his son, Louis W Hill
president of the Great Northern, Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific
and othqr railroad magnates who are ex
pected to attend the formal opening of
, the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway
within the next few weeks. The exact
date for the celebration has not vet been
fixed, owing to the difficulty in determin
ing on Just what day the tracks will be
completed betwen the Peninsula and the
Portland terminal district but It is ex
pected the first train over the North
Bank road will enter Portland on some
date between August 15 and September 1
Secretary GUtner of the Chamber of
Commerce sent away the formal invita
tions yesterday. The men high In the
railroad world who were invited have
given assurances that they will attend the
jollification attendant upon the opening of
the road. Being directly interested In
the property, they express pleasure in the
privilege of Joining In the demonstration
and will drop their business In the East
and come direct to Portland.
Details of the celebration are now being
worked out by Secretary Giltner and a
number of speakers out of the city will
take part. A representative of Spokane,
the ultimate terminus of the new road
and the Puget Sound cities, as well as
other prominent cities of the Northwest
which will be brought into closer touch
with Portland as the result of the con
struction of the new road, will be rep
resented on the programme.
So well is the work progressing in ap
plying the finishing touches to the Will
amette River bridge that It Is- expected
the exact date of running the first train
across the bridge from the Inland Em
pire may be announced within the next
few days.
PIOTrRES HAVE GOOD EFFECT
Columbia River Views Vsed at Con-
ventlon or Hibernians.
That 40 big photo enlargements of Co
lumbia River scenery helped no little In
securing the next National convention of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians to Port
land Is the belief of residents of the ctly
who have taken an active part In secur
ing the next gathering of the organiza
tion. These splendid photographs, show
ing the scenic attractions of the Colum
bia gorga as they have never been pre
sented before, ware sent on to Indiana
polls, where the convention gathered, by
the passenger department of the Harri
rnan lines In this territory. There was a
(sura quantity of Oregon literature sent
NORTH COAS
NUT
along for distribution to the delegates in
attendance.
The big photos had done service at the
annual gathering of the National associa
tion of grocers and the meeting of wom
en's dubs, both of which met at Boston.
They were forwarded to the Ancient
Order of Hibernians' convention by the
railroad and hung In the convention halL
No better scenery could have been
shown at the gathering and that the pic
tures made a big impression Is the news
sent to Portland by those In attendance
at the convention. They played a big
part, it is believed, in securing the next
meeting for this city.
8o splendid was the scenery shown and
so well were the pictures made, that they
created a desire on the part of the dele
gates to come here and see the river
and the mountains for themselves. They
were big arguments why the Hibernians
should come here next. Their silent ap
peal was quite as effective. It is said, as
some of the speeches of invitation from
Portland.
COMMISSION HOLDS . INQUIRY
Oregon Electric AVreck Investigated
by State Board.
Inquiry was made yesterday by the
Railroad Commission into the recent
derailment of a freight train on the
Oregon Electric line In South Portland.
The commission called a number of em
ployes of the company to appear as
witnesses and give what evidence they
could as showing the cause of the acci
dent. It was developed that four
freight cars, heavily loaded with steel
rails, were left standing on a steep
grade at the Caruthers street-crossing,
only two ot which were blocked. The
cars started to run down the grade and
the blocks under the wheels of two
were not sufficient to hold the train.
The speed of the runaway cars became
so great that, they piled up in a gulch
beside the track and were smashed to
kindling wood.
The investigation did not disclose
that any state laws had been violated
by the company in maintaining de
fective equipment in service or by the
employes of the company in being crim
inally negligent. This is the purpose
of the Commission in making its in
vestigations, and to dlsoover means to
prevent similar accidents in the future.
To merely fix the blame of accidents
is not the purpose of the Commission's
Investigations.
AVILL ESTABLISH OFFICE HERE
Agent Jarvis, of Lehigh Valley Road,
f isits Portland.
The. growing importance of Portland as
a railroad' center is becoming better and
better understood by the Eastern railway
traffic managers. This was shown yes
terday when P. R. Jarvis, of Minneapo
lis, agent for the Lehigh Valley Rail
road, came to this city to make plans
for establishing an agency here. Mr.
Jarvis Is in charge of this territory, but
it is too far removed from his headquar
ters to be managed effectively from
there and he says his people recognize
the importance of having an office here.
"We have too good a business here to
take chances on losing it," he said yes
terday. "We feel that If we had an
agent here we would do much better
than we are at present, and it is with
this in mind that an agency will be
opened in this city within a short time.
Just where our offices will be placed or
who will be in charge cannot yet be
announced, . but we are making the nec
essary arrangements."
The Lehigh Valley handles a large
amount of traffic from the East to
Portland by the lake and rail- route, as
well as to the other transcontinental
terminals of this coast. Quantities of
freight are handled from the Atlantic
seaboard overland to Chicago.
Sleeper Added to Salt Lake Train.
Tourist business is so heavy to Port
land from the East that the O. R. & N.
and Oregon Short Line passenger depart
ments have decided to put an additional
standard Pullman sleeper on Trains 1
and 2 between Salt Lake City and Port
land. West-bound business is particu
larly heavy at this season and the in
creased service will be continued
throughout the Summer in any event,
and It is quite likely it will be 'continued
Indefinitely. Recently the first-class
tourist business had increased to such a
degree that an additional sleeper was
put on Trains 5 and 6. but there is a
need for further accommodations. As
these cars will care for the best class
of business, it does not appear that
financial conditions are such that they
have retarded travel to any degree.
Investigation Is Postponed.
The investigation scheduled yesterday by
the operating officials of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company and the
Southern Pacific Company, to ascertain
the cause of the collision between a Fifth
street car and a Southern Pacific engine
at the Fourth street crossing Saturday
night could not be held, owing to the
disabled condition of the crew of the
street car. which was bowled off the
track by the engine and turned over on its
side. Both men were badly shaken up,
although not seriously injured. However,
they are not in a condition to leave their
homes. It is hoped' they will have recov
ered from the effects of the accident suf
ficiently to attend an investigation tomor
row.
Travels in Private Car.
H. O. Worcester, of Cincinnati, accom
pan'.ed by his family, passed through
Portland yesterday on his way home from
California in the New York Central prl
vate car No. 203. Mr. Worcester is the
assistant general manager, of the C., C.
C. & St. L., better known as the "Big
Four" railroad. He is making a pleasure
tour of the Coast.

This map shows the proposed main line and branches of the North Coast. At Kiona the Walla Walla and Spokane lines connect. At Port
land Junction one line will run to Portland and another to Seattle and Tacoma. At Cow Creek Junction the Adams County and the Davenport

WILL BE NOTABLE
Plans to Greet Grand Trium
virate of Athletes Pro
gressing. MOVEMENT IS SPREADING
All Agree That Smithson, Kelly and
Gilbert Shonld Be Given an Ova
tion Like or Which State
Has Never Known.
BT W. J. PETRAIN.
Plans for a grand reception to be
given in honor of Oregon's trio of ath
letic stars are well under way, and
within the next Tew days the commit
tees will be appointed and the raising
of contributions begun.
All the Portland commercial bodies
will assist the Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club, which organization is to
take the initiative because of the af
fair being of an athletic nature, and
each organization will contribute to
the utmost of its ability in making the
affair one of the most memorable in the
State of Oregon.
So far the perfecting of arrange
ments has been somewhat handicapped
by the absence of a number of the
prominent business men from the city,
but those who are here have readily
coincided with the proposal to do honor
to the splendid young athletes who so
ably represented the United States at
London.
Colonel John McCracken, one of Port
land's oldest and most honored citizens.
yesterday expressed his appreciation of
the efforts started to give the victor
ious lads a rou3ing welcome In the
most glowing terms, and . announced
that he would assist the movement both
morally and financially to the utmost
of his ability.
Deserve Fine Welcome.
"If there is anything that is deserv
ing of especial ' commendation," said
Colonel McCracken yesterday, "it Is the
efforts of a young man who performs
successfully upon the athletic field.
The prominence the State of Oregon
has gained chrougrh the victories of
Smithson, Kelly and Gilbert, are surely
deserving of some marked display of
appreciative esteem on the part of the
citizens of our great state. Such ath
letes are not produced in every clime,
and for Oregon to be represented by
three athletes of world-wide renown is
Incentive enough to give them such a
reception that will be talked over
throughout the land."
According to the preliminary plans.
which at present are merely being
mapped out, Colonel McCracken and
Judge George H. Williams are to be
asked to serve upon the welcoming
committee, and both will be called upon
to make short speeches at the enter
tainment to be extended the victorious
athletes.
George W. McMillan, president of the
Multnomah Athletic Club, and E. E. Mor
gan, chairman of the club's athletic com
mittee, have pledged themselves to assist
the movement to honor the Oregon ath
letes to the best of their ability. Tonight
the directors of the Multnomah aClub will
hold a meeting for the purpose of appoint
ing a committee to confer with the com
mittees of the commercial, social and col
legiate Institutions of this city, and the
entire body will probably act as a Joint
committee to have charge of the raising
of funds and the planning of the enter
tainment of the Oregon boys on their ar
rival home.
Arrangements Under Way.
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby Secretary James E. Sullivan, of
the American Amateur Athletic Union,
who is now in London, will have charge
of the arranging for the coming of
Smithson, Kelly and Gilbert to Oregon at
the same time. It may be possible that
Secretary Sullivan may be prevailed upon
to accompany the Oregon athletes to Port
land. According to the plans already evolved,
it is planned to meet the train bearing
Smithson, Kelly and Gilbert with a spe
cial train with the reception committee
before they arrive in Portland, and from
the depot an automobile parade will be
formed conveying the successful athletes
and the members of the committee
through the city. In this It is proposed
to furnish each athlete with an auto
mobile for the use of himself and family.
The Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club
will turn out in a body and other insti
tutions will likewise be represented in the
parade, for the reception to these lads is
to be something out of the ordinary and
will be made an event that will long be
remembered In the City of Portland and
the State of Oregon.
What Canada Did.
When a Canadian athlete, who had won
the Marathon race at Athens, returned to
his home at Toronto In 1906. the entire
populace extended him honors In every
possible form. Parades were held and re
ceptions tendered for several days follow
ing his homecoming, and what Toronto
can do for one lone winner, Portland and
PROJECTED LINES OF
OREGON I COM
Oregon can surely discount when our trio
of champions returns.
The Portland commercial bodies readily
realize the extensive advertising to be
gained through the feats . of Oregon's
boys, and are earnestly in accord with the
movement in every particular. Nothing
Is too good for Smithson, Gilbert and
Kelly, is the way the enterprising Portland
business men look upon the proposition to
extend honor to the successful lads, and It
is assured that the reception tendered the
Oregon boys will be a memorable affair
In the history of Oregon. Such an op
portunity may never come again, but its
lesson will be a lasting incentive to the
rising generation, many of whom are ca
pable of duplicating the record of the
boys who have so recently qualified as
champions against the competition of the
world.
Knows Nothing of Athletes' Plans.
NEW YORK. July 27. (Special.) The
committee is still In the lark as to the
plans of the athletes. P. J. Conway, pres
ident of the Irish-American Athletio
Club, has not received any replies to the
cablegrams he sent to Commissioner
James E. Sullivan, Captafh Lawson
Roberson and Martin J. Sheridan, notify
ing them of the contemplated public re
ception and requesting the athletes to
return in a body. In spite of this un
certainty, the committee is working on
the plans for a public reception.

NORTH COAST RAILWAY
CLASH WITH SEALS
San Francisco Opens.. Last of
Home Secies Today.
WILL BE BATTLE ROYAL
Portland Pennant-Chasers Hope to
Redeem Themselves for Past
Failures Against Bay City Art
ists Einsella .Will Pitch.
The San Francisco ball toesers will
open the final series of the present home
stand of the Portland team this after
noon, and this week McCredie's men are
determined to even matters up with the
Seals for the defeats suffered when the
Bay Ctty contingent last appeared here.
On that occasion San Francisco took
three out of five games decided, while
the sixth contest was a 13-lnning tie.
San Francisco has won 22 games and
Portland 18 in the lnterclub sessions so
far this season, and the Portlanders are
anxious to make the score even by tak
ing five out of the six games from the
Seals. On two occasions Portland has
taken Ave out of seven from. San Fran
cisco, once at the Bay City and Decora
tion Day week at Portland. Therefore
McCredie's huskies, with their pitchers
working nicely at present, hope to bet
ter those two performances this week.
McCredle will probably open the series
against San Francisco with Eddie Kln
sella, and the big fellow remembers the
last game of th last series when the
Seals were literally presented with the
game. He Is therefore keyed up for
revenge and will go against the Mohler-
ites this afternoon with the determination
to trim them decisively. "Kinsy" will
have a hard game, however, for "Cackle"
Henley will most likely be the Seal
slabster delegated to oppose him, and
the elongated one has the faculty of
pitching better ball against Portland than
against any other club of the league.
In addition H must be recorded that
the Seals' new outfielder, Beck, will
join them this afternoon, and will take
the place of light-hitting Joe Curtis In
center. Beck is heralded as a batting
demon, but so was Miller, the Oaks'
new shortstop. The latter got away
good in the first three games in Port
land, but Graney, Groom and Garrett
finally solved his weakness and he was
absolutely helpless in the last three
games against Portland. This trio of
slab artists may also find Beck's weak
points later in the week, while Eddie
Klnsella will probably be required to
solve it this afternoon.
After winning five out of seven from
Oakland, the Seals reversed the order
of things and c.ropped a similar number
of games to Los Angeles last week. Nat
urally this did not benefit Portland, for
our boys only broke even with the Oaks.
When the Angels last hooked up with
Oakland, Dillon's men won 11 out of
14 games, but this week they will find
a much stronger Athenian aggregation
and will do well to break even on the
series. If Portland can capture the ma
jority of the games from San Francisco
this week Portland should be much
closer to the leaders at the end of the
week than at present.
