O'BRIEN BUCK NEXT WEEK
TRANSFER TO SAX PRAJiCISOO
XOT YET AXOUXCED.
Harriman Magnates Are Silent on
Subject of Shake-up, but News
Is Expected Soon.
J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the
Harriman lines in the Pacific Northwest,
who, gossip has it, 1b about to "be pro
moted to be general manager of: the
Southern Pacific, with offices at San
Francisco, will return to Portland early
next week. At present he is in Southern
California, where' he has been in confer
ence, with Harriman and other members
of the Union Pacific magnate's cabinet
of general managers.
Confirmation of the report that Mr.
O'Brien Is slated for a promotion has
been slow in coming and to the news
papers in California the Harriman party
is very reticent. No admissions have as
yet been made that changes in the Coast
managers are even contemplated. In fact
President Harahan, of the Illinois Cen
tral, denied he would be moved to the
New York Central. He also scouted the
rumored shakeup in general managers.
Mr. Harriman himself Is quoted in the
dispatches as scouting any shifting about
of his general managers. He Intimates
that the matter Is not up for considera
tion at the present gathering of his chief
lieutenants.
Stories of changes In the general man
ager's office of the Portland headquar
ters will undoubtedly be either denied or
confirmed officially upon Mr. O'Brien's
return here early next week, if no re
liable statement is made by the Harriman
party in California prior to that time.
Mr. O'Brien has not advised his friends
here of a promotion to the San Francisco
office. Indeed the only word known to
have been received from him here is to
the effect that he will return to Portland
early next week.
NEW ROUTE FOR "M-G" CARS
Six-Minute Schedule In Effect This
. Week.
Before the end of the present week
cars on the Montgomery-street line of
the city traction system will be run on
a six-minute schedule inetead of the
present ten-minute . service. The routing
of this line will be changed, raateriall v.
offering direct communication between
the downtown business district and the
residence section of that part of the city.
The Mount Tabor cars will no longer
run, out Eleventh street and up Mont
gomery, but MS cars will run from
Third and MnnHcnn iri .i- . .
- w iicvcnin ano.
,M. turning south on Eleventh to
Montgomery, up Montgomery. thence1
north on Thirteenth to. Washington, down
that street to Third and south on Third
to the corner of Morrison. The Mount
Tabor cars will run straight west on
Morrison street without turning south
at Eleventh, as at present. "
The traction company now lias a peti
tion before the Council asking for a
franchise to extend the Eleventh-street
line north to Hall street. When this is
granted this stretch of track will become
a part of the loop to be followed by the
MG line. .
NEW USE TO BE INDEPENDENT
North Bank AV1I1 Be Operated Irre
spective of Northerns.
After conferences lasting several
weeks, between operating officials of
the new North Bank, road and officers
of the national association of train
men's unions, a complete understand
ing was reached yesterday under which
it was decided the railroad officials
shall themselves regulate assignments,
appointments and promotions of em
ployes. This means that the officials
of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern will have nothing to do with
the operation of the new North Bank
road.
The railroad employes complained of
the insecurity of their positions in view
of the overlapping of the authority of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific officials, both of which lines own
and control the North Bank. This de
cision will result In giving the new
line entire independence In operation.
Folder Exploits Exposition.
A special folder, advertising the Alas-ka-Yukon-Pacific
