GLAD OF TAFT'S ELECTION Great Railroader Says That Condi tions Hare Been .Settled and Business Will Resume Normal Stride. James J. Hill, chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern party of distinguished . associates. reached Portland yesterday morning from Spo kane. Last night they Joined with the commercial Interests of this city In cele brating the completion of the North Bank road from Pasco to this city. In addition to Mr. Hill, the party consisted of Howard Klllott. president of the Northern Pacific; George B. Harris, president of the Chicago. Burlington & viulncy; Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern: Darius Miller, first vice president of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy: B. T. Nichols, third vice-president of the Great Northern; H. C. Nutt, general manager of the Northern Pa cific for the Western division: A. M. Gruher, general manager of the Great Northern: A. G. Hogeland. chief engineer of the Northern, and Francis B. Clarke, president of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle Railway, who met the party at Spokane: Auto Rides About i'lty. From the time the party reached thi city until it left early this morning for Vancouver, B. C. the day was one of unceasing activity for the railroad builder. Several conferences were held with the representatives of the Hill In terests in this city, while two automobile ridea about the city were resorted to by way of diversion. A portion of the after noon was spent at the Portland, where Mr. Hill. President Klliott. of the North ern Pacific: President Harris, of the Chicago. Burlington Qulney. and Vice president Nichols, of the Great North ern, had lunch at t o'clock. Mr. Hill waa averse to having a photo graph taken and at the hotel successful ly evaded the newspaper artists. After luncheon, the empire builder, accom panied by one of his party, wandered out on the verandah for a conference. No sooner had he seated himself than two photographers approached. They had al most succeeded In bringing their In struments to a focus when Mr. Hill, ob serving what they were about to do, sur prised them by Jumping to his feet and exclaiming: Hoes Not I.Ike Photographers. "You boys think you are going to get a snapshot of me. But you will not." We will get you yet," responded on of the photographers. Well. I guess you will not." persisted the railroader, who retreated Into the hotel, in the meantime successfully de feating the efforts of the artists to get a snapshot. At the hotel yesterday afternoon Mr. Hill was extremely reticent in discuss ing his further plana as to railroad con struction In this territory. It waa evi dent from his manner that he wished to reserve making any announcement he proposed to make during this visit until last night's banquet. As to any other statements. It is known of Mr. Hill that he does not discuss prospective events until the proper time arrives. It was for that reason he declined to make any announcement regarding the possible In vasion by the Hill lines of Central Ore gon. As to the extension of the Astoria Columbia from Astoria down the Coast to Tillamook, it was very appar ent from what Mr. Hill said that such an extension of his system In this state will never be made Road Wonld Be- Costly. What? Build a road from Astoria to Tillamook." Inquired Mr. Hill, In re sponse to a question -on that subject. "Such a road is impracticable by that route. It necessarily would have to be almost entirely a tunne'id road. This SLSrZT WitT' SfrrrJr is the information we have from the survey that has been made by our en gineers. Beside, the business that could be depended on for euch an extension would not justify the expense of such a road. To build a railroad down the foast would involve very extensive and expensive tunneling. "What about the report that yon as sisted In raising a fund of $voo.00O for the Republican National committee In the recent campaiKn?" was asked. "Oh. my goodness.' dLsgustedly replied Mr. Hill, "there is absolutely not the elightent foundation for such a report. Even If there was. I certainly would not discuss ft.

Zimmerman Jr. Home phona long-distance calls Builder or North Bank . Line Is Roundly Applauded as He Pays Tribute to Portland at Banquet. James J. Hill's speech at the banquet commemoratln grthe opening: of the North Bank Railroad follows: Mr- Chairman and Gentlemen: A man's heart would be made of either Ice or- stone If It was not moved by the welcome that you have accorded me here tonight, and I want to thank you for It. I am getting along in veare at least a men count their years, though It Is aid that a man is as old as he ft els and a woman Is as old as she looks. (Laughter.) Faith Has Brought Suceesa. The years, I am thankful to say, fall lightly on me; at the same time I ara con trtantly reminded that the future is much shorter than the past. If I have had the good fortune to be of anv ufe in the world, It is because I have tried to have faith fn my fellow men and to have faith In what the Al mighty has given us In the way of a fer tile soil. (Applause.) I never built a mile of railroad unless I knew that the existing road could take care of it. If it didn't pay. (Applause.) At all events we managed to get through without failing. Possibly It waa lack of courage, but hind-sight Ls often bet ter than foresight, and I always like to play for a sure thing. (Laughter and applause.) When we started for the Pacific Ooast I traveled over moat of the way with a buck board, and some of the way I could not ride horseback or follow a pack mule, and t had to get down and go afoot; but I never felt from the first time that we crossed the. main range, of the Rocky Mountains up to the present hour that there was any doubt about the future of this part of our country. (Great applause.) Pride In New Line. And. without any attempt at giving our selves bouquets I want to say to you that 1 felt great pride riding yesterday from Pasco to Portland ( ' 'Good, good, good .'" and great applaune). It Is an easy way to get over the Cascade Range (great applause-). And I felt, although It Involved the investment of an enormous amount of money, that I would not like to trade back; t would not Ilka to hand It over and take the money. (Great applause.) Coming down the river and coming to Van couver I was not aware that Vancouver was a jrteepy town; in my own mind Vancouver has been identified with the walnut. When I was there three years ago they gave me a walnut that was ae big as an apple (ap plause), and it was not imported. It was grown there. But between Vancouver and Portland, I want to say to you that from our standpoint there is a very expensive piece of railroad daughter and applause and X know that nothing short of a desire to reach Portland would ever have justified the expenditure of the amount of money re quired (great applause); but it Is done, and If you are as well satisfied with it as I am. we both will be proud of it. (Ap plause.) I do not think there is a city In the United States that has a better en trance, a more solid and substantial en trance for a railway than Portland has from the other aide of the Columbia. (Great ap plause.) Refers to Mr. Cotton. Now. we have got into Portland pretty fairly well, and have a fair amount of room down t here ; but my friend Cotton (laughter and applauw) I .haven't a thing in the "wu aKMiisBL Lotion, ne is a good fellow, and every" one of you know it, but what a power of resistance he has. (Laughter and applause.) I saw those locomotives down here run ning on his track, and I watched them, and every one of them apparently when It got up in his- neighborhood went on the track. (Laughter). I wonder if Cotton turned the switch. (Laughter and ap plause). , If he did. If he did and I am going now to speak for Mr. Elliott and my selw we will be magnanimous, and we are going to forgive him. (Laurhter). They have a terminal In Portland, and possibly they will open their doors and take us in 'Laughter) I don't want them to- take us in too hard. (Laughter and applause). Talk of the Future. Now. It Is getting well on In the even ing, and we will be serious a moment, if you will allow me. It Is easy to give ad vice; maybe it is easier to give advice than it Is to take It; but let us reason as to the future. I am not a prophet, or the son of a prophet. Governor Mead, of your sister state north of the Columbia, gave me credit for forecasting something for Wash ington. If I was able to call attention to some of the conditions of the country, I am glad. The reason for your city originally cer tainly waa your .forepta. People- came here seeking the pine tree or the flr tree. They tell the story, at least up on Puget Sound, that at an early day ff a man slipped up in the dark or fell overboard from a boat they inquired if he was from Emechlas or from eMmechias. and if he said he was not, thev let him drown. (Laughter.) The good old Stats of Main was) a good state to be bora la. People nerar said that of Vermont, provided they emigrated when they were young. Now it is 52 years since I came to the Wst, and at that time there was no Minneapolis, although Minneapolis Is now a city bordering on 300.000 people. St- Anthony Falls was peopled mainly by those M-ho have left the State of Maine to improve their condition, and some from New Hampshire. Tells Story of Arbitration. After they had been there several years, and without a church, most of them had been brought up In a good old New Eng land Congregational fold, and they thought they ought to have a church, as children were growing up and they ought to have a place for them on Sunday to worship, having been without a church for several years they thought to go back to the hard and fast Congregational rule of New Eng land was a little binding, and they thought they would get something that was nearer a go-as-you-please. After holding meetings, they concluded that they would organize a Ilniversalist Society, which they did. and appointed a committee who went to Boston, I think, and extended a call to the Rev. Calvin Tuttla, an old gentleman whom I knew very well, a very elegant preacher and an excellent man. Dr. Tuttle came out and opened the first Universalist Society In Min nesota. Shortly after two of the members, eldermen. had a dispute about some logs in the pond- They thought It would be a scandal to go to law about it. and they had better arbitrate. Now- I think the result of this arbitration Is something that every man can take home to tilmaelf. because it resulted about as all arbitrations do. One of them, a man from Maine, was Steve Emerson. I kne-s him very well- And Steve was about six feet four and he had a hand as big as a ham; a most excellent man. full of energy and am bition to get aleng in this world. He selected a neighbor, Sam Stanehneld. from Orney, in Main, as hjs arbitrator. The other fellow was fromNew Hampshire, and he took Captain John Rowllns. who was about the most formidable citizen of the New Hampshire delegation of settlers In the new country. Result Goes Against Him. I. was driving through the streets shortly after the results of the arbitration and I met a friend who was enjoying a good laugh, and I said. "Prince, what are you laughing at?" "Well." he said, 'T Just met Steve Emerson down here." And Price went on and told me about this arbitration; and he said. "I asked Bmerson how he came out with the arbitration he had with Dudley." I should hare said that Emerson, having chosen Stanchfleld and Dudley hav ing chosen Captain Rawlins, the two chose as a third man the new dominie; the new minister. Price asked Emerson how he came out. and his answer was. "Price. I tell ye. the next time 1 have anything to arbitrate, I am going to have one man on there who believes In hell." (Laughter and applause.) That Is all he said, but It Is pretty strong evidence that It went against him. E J. H. REID ABSENT SIXCE MID DLiE OP OCTOBER. Neighbors at Milwaukle Aver That His Flight Followed the Unex pected Return of Wife. . Friends are unable to " explain the mysterious disappearance of James H. Reld. ex-Fruit Commissioner and one of the best-known horticulturists of the state, who left his home at Mil waukle, Or., October 15, and so far as can be learned, has not been seen since that time. Strict secrecy has been maintained by his friends since his disappearance, and at his home no explanation Is offered. However, residents of Milwaukle, who say they know the secret con nected with his dlsapparance, declare that financial and domestic troubles are largely responsible for the mys erlous absence of Mr. Reld. The un expected return of Mrs. Held from a visit to Texas Is said to have led to her discovery of a condition which caused the almost immediate departure of the ex -Commissioner. At the home in Milwaukle are Mrs. Reid and a daughter, and the greatest efforts are being exerted on the part of friends to shield them from the mortification that would follow the ex posure of the causes of Reid's flight. Before his appointment . as Fruit Commissioner Reid was a soldier, hav ing served In the Philippines, whera he was wounded. His wife Is said to own considerable property in this city and a valuable farm at Milwaukle. Failure to find any trace of the miss ing man since October 16 has caused several of his friends to believe that he may have re-enteTed the Army. His record as Fruit Inspector is said to have been an excellent one and he was regarded as one of the best In formed men in the state on fruit-rais-Ine and horticultural subjects gener ally He was in constant demand at farmers' institutes throughout the state as a lecturer on horticulture.
