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.

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.

The condition of the approaches to the

opinion expressed that there was no good
reason these approaches should not be
completed at once and the bridge thrown
open to the public. It was announced that
a little work would finish up the ap

bridge, and the street committee was in
