O'Brien Forwards Estimates
on Central Oregon Line.
EXPECTS EARLY APPROVAL
First Link or Line lp Destitutes
Will Cost $1,000,000 and Con
struction May Start by
Firt of the Year.
General Manager O'Brien, of the Harri
man line in the Pacific Northwest, has
forwarded wttmatee for the construction
of the first section of the Central Oregon
line up the Deschutes River, from a con
nection with the O. R. X. at luj mouth.
1'rotlle of the new line and the probable
com were, sent forward to the Chicago
headquarter of the Harriman system
during the past week.
The estimate call for tile expenditure
,f J4.rtv.0rt fr building the first I'D miles
of tiie Deschutes line. Thai will construct
the road as far south as Madras, tapping
t:e big Central Oregon plain that ts ex
pected to furnish a vwt traffic during the
coming few years.
"1 think early approval of the plans for
the Central thvgon line may be expected."
said Genera) Manager O'Brien. "This
will mean the early iHClnnlng on the road
into the interior pf the state, following
up th Iieschutes River canyon from Its
mouth. Aa soon as survey and figures
-an he prepared for the construction of
the line scuth from Madras, they will be
forwarded for approval of the Chicago
officials of the eystem."
The line to Madras, the first unit of
the Central Oregon line, will drain the
Kg Interior plains on both aides of the
JVschutes canyon of their wheat, cattle
and other products. Practical grades
l'av been found for the proposed line,
and construction wilt be unusually diffi
cult. From Madrao. the road will be built
south to Rend, opening up the new Irriga
tion district surrounding that place, and
reaching the whole Kastern elope of the
Cis.-ades t the center of the state, the
district that has waited so long for trans
portation facilities.
The early approval of the estimates just
sont forward will mean that construction
forces will be assembled and work start
ed within the next few weeks. Plans are
already be-ng made by the engineering
department ofthe Harriman lines for be
ginning on the tVntral Oregon line, and
by the op-nlng of the new year It is ex
pected operation will be under way. The
country and climate are such that work
can be prosecuted throughout the Win
ter months.
SAYS OFFICER WAS CRUEL
Woman Objects to Manner of Ar
rotinc Drunken Husband.
After having asked the police to pro
tect her from her drunken husband,
who was smashing the furniture and
threatening her with all manner of dire
ra'.amity. Mrs. Herman Olson, of 744
Thurman street, visited the police sta
tion vesterday forenoon to protest at
he vigorous methods used by Patrolman
McCulloch in subduing the head of the
Olson household. She said the officer
knocked her husband down and gave him
a severe beating. She wanted charges
preferred against the patrolman.
Admitting that he handled Olson In a
way that was not exactly gentle, the of
ficer explained that no other course was
practicable. Mrs. Olson called him In to
try to pacify the man. he reported, and
he approached the house to hear the fur
niture being slammed about and broken.
The moment he got Inside. Olson forgot
all about his ambition to wreck the
house and proceeded at once to render
the Police Department a trifle short
handed. McCulloch brought his club to
play and Olson surrendered. Olson was
taken to the City Jail and locked up on
a charge of disorderly conduct In addi
tion to the charge of drunkenness.
This occurred Monday night and Mrs.
Olson was tl'ulte satisfied with the dis
position made of her husband until the
hour of his trial In the Municipal Court
arrived yesterday morning. Then she re
fused to testify against him. but on the
testimony of the officer Olson was found
guilty and fined $10. Indignant that her
husband had been deprived of so large
a sum. Mrs. Olson began her protests at
the manner In which Olson had been
clubbed before his arrest. City Physi
cian Ziegler was called to examine Ol
sons scalp and he found one slight abra
sion, but nothing more. The woman's
complaint was pressed no further.

Pacific Coast Delegates Find
Japan Friendly.
PORTS OPEN TO AMERICA
Visitors to Orient Speak in Highest
Terms of Kntert.nmcnt Ac
corded Them by Govern
ment of Island.
That the feeling for the people of the
United States Is most friendly In Japan
and that the relations between this coun
try and the land of the Mikado should
continue to be amicable is the opinion of
delegates frona the Pacific Coast commer
cial organizations who participated In the
recent commercial excursion to the prin
cipal ports of Japan. The delegates have
made a preliminary report to the various
commercial bodies of the Pacific Coast
represented on the excursion and Secre
tary Giltner of the Portland Ch'amber of
Commerce received a copy of this report
yesterday.
Want Stronger Trade Relations.
The visitors to Japan speak In highest
terms of their entertainment abroad and
of the character and accomplishments of
the Japanese people. They desire to
muinialn the peaceful relations between
tne two countries and to increase their
mutual commercial interests. Before leav
ing Japan, the delegation from the Pa
cific Coast adopted resolutions thanking
the Japanese heartily for the receptions
everywhere accorded them and for the
friendship manifested by the people of
th Mikado's Empire.
The report says the entertainment
offered by the Japanese government and
the Chambers of Commerce of Tokyo,
Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama and Kobe
partook of the nature of an ovation and
the Japanese spared no attention or ex
pense to show the country to the visitors
in a way never before undertaken.
The report In part follows:
lext of the Report.
Their earnestness and enthusiasm became
contagious, and the Japanese people, with
out reward to rank. vhI with each other
that the Commissioners from the Pacific
Coast miffht know and feel that Japan :s
th sincere friend of the I'nlted States. It
would b absurd and wrong;, aftr the mani
festations of affection which w-ere accorded
us by ths Japanese people, to question the
sincerity of their friendship. Every mem
ber of the Commission realized that It was
not the Commissioners whom the Japanese
sought to compliment, but that through them
they were st-eklnr to rear-h the hearts of
the people of the United States.
Before vltittnjr the Empire of Japan none
of us had the slightest conception of the
sentiments which the people of that coun
try bear to the people of the United States.
Commodore Perry's memory is as much re
vered as that of almost any patriot who has
ever died for Japan. The people of that
country feel that the Cnltert States has
dealt fairly with them and has given them
advice which was not In anv way tlnjwd
br s1nsh interest. They declare that the
moral support of the American people and
our sympathy during the war with Russia
assured them that tlKy would be success
ful. Thev constantly spoke of the friendship
manifested by our country when President
Roosevelt suggested that hostilities between
Japan and Russia should cease and an
honorable peace be concluded.
In Japan we found many thtngs that were
crude and many of theee were pointed out
to us by the Japanese themselves. Through
as they sought a remedy and we were In
vited hv them to criticise whatever, in our
judgment, appeared wrong, and for us to
suggest reformation.
Great Progress of People.
Bearing in mind that only 55 years ago
Japan was a hermit nation and that today
she Is a world power, realizing to what ex
tent thev have developed thir natural re
sources and. through their Emperor, changed
their form of government, established edu
cational institutions and performed a work
more gigantic than has before been under
taken bv any other people, we deem any
such criticism at this time improper
There is no mistaking the onward and
upward trend of commerce, manufacturing
and education in Japan. She has within her
the eUsments of a very high civilization and
her people are not blind to these factors.
The commerce of Japan has had a rapidity
of growth unequalled by any other modern
nation. Th-e Japanese build, man and navi
gate their own ships and they have built
ships which seem equal to the best that
plv the Pacinc Ocean
Many of their manufacturing plants are
on a large scale .and arvi in conformity with
the latest models of either Germany, Eng
land or the t'nited States. While we found
the wages paid In tho factories small as
compared with wages in America, they were
sufficient to enable the employes to accumu
late savings, as tho cost of living in Japan
Is extremely low.
Tears ago Japan borrowed from tne
T'nited States our school system and edu
cation Is compulsory. The schoolhouse there
has become a sight as common as In Amer
ica. The eagerness of the ordinary Japanese
children to gain an education Is remarkable
and they seem to learn neadily. Englisn
Is quite generally taught. Thus far those
who are educated in modern ways seem to
co-operate In the advancement of every
thing that benefits their country to a de
gree surprising to foreigners.
That the Japanese are going to become a
great trading nation is apparent. That the
material development of the Empire is
going to make a great demand for all the
labor of their people is quite evirVnt.

Japan haa a great future. The people of
the United Statea ought to be proud of the
rrienda which they have in the far East.
The co-operation of Japan and America
ia essential to the uplifting of Asia.
There is more In the Orient than both of
these nations can do and they can afford to
encourage the awakening of China and ex
tend to her a helping hand.
Our visit to Japan, while Important, can
be made doubly so. if at no distant date a
similar visit is paid to the United States
by a body of representative men of that
country. "
