PORTLAND HEARING
OH MERGER ENDS
Effort Made to Show Harriman
Broke Agreement to Build
Road to Coos Bay.
MOTIVE ALSO SUGGESTED
Other Testimony Is That' Magnate
Cut Ofr Market to Oregon Stock
men When Ogden Gate
way Was Closed.
Attempts by the Government to show
that E. H. Harriman by combining the
Southern Pacific, O. R. &. and Oregon
Phort Lino had built a railroad fortifi
cation around Oregon so as to control
the. traffic of this state and prevent the
building of competing lines, occupied
most of the final day in the Portland end
In the. investigation of the merger.
Evidence was deduced that went Into
the details of Harriman's alleged break
ing of a promise to build the Coos Bay
branch from Drain and dealt extensively
with reputed attempts to control all
available routes Into the great stockrals
lng country comprising Eastern and Cen
tral Oregon, and a part of Idaho and
INcvada.
Incidentally, annulment since the ef
fecting of the merger of the combination
through rates on Central Oregon traffic
via th Ogden gateway and the Denver
& Rio Grande to Colorado points was
gone Into, and evidence was taken to the
effect that a big market for cattle that
liad existed in Colorado for Oregon
etockmen was now closed to them.
Great Resources Held Back.
Testimony was given that lying within
the girder of the Southern Pacific, O. R.
& N. and Short IJne there were 30,000,
000 acres of land capable, of cultivation,
that Is without railway transportation,
end that west of the Southern Pacific
line In the Coos Bay country lie 70.000.-"
eo feet of timber, numerous promising
coal mines and extensive dairying Inter
ests that are held back from development
by lack of railway connection with the
outside world.
The inference taken from the testimony
secured by the Government, yesterday,
effecting Coos Bay. is that the Govern
ment attorneys will make the argument
that the extension to Coos Bay from
Drain, first projected in 1903. was aban
doned because of the acquisition by Har
riman of the Spreckels railroad, then
built from Coos Bay south to Myrtle
Point and having a projected outlet from
that district to Medford, thus giving Mm
control of the most feasible routes Into
the Coos Bay country.
Evidence, having this trend, was se
cured from William Grimes, chairman
of the railroad committee of the
Marshfleia Chamber of Commerce. Mr.
Grimes was one of th'e three Coos Bay
citizens who met Mr. Harriman on his
special train last August between Eu
gene and Albany and extracted from
Mm a promise, they declare, to build
the Drain extension If a certain ton
nage showing could be made.
Required to' Show Tonnage.
Mr. Grimes said that his under
standing of the conditions imposed
upon the Coos Bay people was only that
they should show that sufficient
freight tonnage would originate In
that territory to pay the Harriman sys
tem 4 per cent per annum on the $5,
000,000 It would cost to construct the
extension.
Mr. Grimes said that he and his as
sociates were unable to give any fig
ures as to freight tonnage and sug
gested that Mr. Harriman send a rep
resentative Into the district to see for
himself. This was agreed upon, says
Mr. Grimes, r.nd about two weeks later
Colonel W. H. Holablrd arrived on Coos
Bay as the representative of Mr. Har
riman. Learning; therafter that Colonel
Holabird's report was favorable, the
Chamber of Commerce communicated
further with Mr. Harriman. Several
letters and telegrams that passed were
submitted In evidence. These set forth
ft condition imposed by Mr. Harriman
that responsible persons should give
bonds guaranteeing that the branch
line would clear 4 per cent on the cost
of construction above cost of opera
tion, taxes, etc.
This was the first the Coos Bay peo
ple had ever heard a bond suggested,
paid Mr. Grimes. In response to ques
tions from Attorney Severance he
said that in the conference with Mr.
Harriman there was no discussion as
to the division of rates between the
branch and the main line or any other
basis upon which a guarantee could
he given.
iSprockols Road Acquired.
That Harriman had acquired the
Pprerkols road, part of which had been
constructed along the projected route
of SO miles to a Southern Pacific con
nection, and that the routes controlled
by the two proposed lines were con
sidered the most feasible Into that
territory. was brought out In Mr.
Grimes" testimony. Mr. Grimes also
gave considerable testimony ai to the
lumbering, dairying and mining indus
tries on Coos Bay, and the present
steamship facilities. The steamship
service had been changed somewhat
since Harriman had acquired the Sprec
kels interests, he said, by putting the
Czarina on the run to Portland in
stead of to San Francisco. In number
of steamers and frequency of sailings
the service, he said, was about the
same.
On cross-examination. TV. W. Cotton
succeeded in getting an admission from
Mr. Grimes that Mr. Harriman said In
the August conference that he would
build the road to Coos Bay If the peo
ple there would "guarantee" him 4 per
cent "on the cost of construction. Mr.
Grimes acknowledged that the word
"guarantee" was used, but said he un
derstood that it was meant that a show
ing of tonnage originating in the dis
trict must be made which would guar
antee that income.
The railroad attorneys further
hrought out that there are three com
panies who own timber in the district
valued at $8,000,000. whose holdings
would increase $8,000,000 to $16,000,000
in value with the securing of railway
transportation. The object of bringing
out this testimony, it is believed, is to
show that Cobs Bay interests could
afford to provide such a guaranty for
the building of the railroad and that
Harriman could not afford to built it
unless some assurance were given that
the railroad would get the freight from
the bis interests.
Tells oT Work Done.
A. IT. Klannlgan. of Mashfield. told
how the announcement was made In
1905 that the extension of the South
ern Pacific from Drain would be made,
how about eight months thereafter
actual work commenced, bridges were
built, part of the right-of-way graded
.4 .m-ion rail laid dawn at Drain

to complete the road. He testified that
the work was abandoned in 1907.
From both Flannigan and Grime
cross-examination brought ont that
other railroads were under discussion
and that it was believed that another
feasible route could be obtained to Coos
Bay.
If a "water pass" is essential, Harri
man has a monopoly on Eastern and
Central Oregon. In the opinion of Colo
nel C. B. S. Wood. But two water
grade outlets exist for an area of ta
bleland comprising 30,000,000 acres of
arable land, of which 20,000.000 are in
Oregon, according to his evidence.
Colonel Wood described the district
as having once been the bed of an in
land sea, which had finally drained
down the Malheur River to the west
and down the Crooked and Deschutes
rivers to the north. The railroad routes
alforued by both streams are controlled
by Harriman. Colonel Wood said that
there was an available route out of the
district up the Klamath or Pitt to the
Southern Pacific connection at Klamath
FaJs.
Great Area Needs Outlet.
There are millions of acres of land in
Eastern Oregon that could be made
bountifully tributary to man," he said.
"They lack nothing hut transportation.
I was through that country in an Indian
campaign in 1878. going north Into what
was then Washington Territory, and
farther north than Spokane. At that time
the only railroads in this country were
the small line to Cor.allis and a part
of the Northern Pacific, which had been
built north from Kalama so that they
eould hold their land grant.
"At that time Eastern Washington and
Eastern Oregon looked much the same
and I never supposed it would be any
thing but Indian country until the end
of time. Eastern Oregon is still practi
cally undeveloped, while the Palouso
country in Washington is a solid wheat
Held.
"Iand In Washington that was once
thought to he valueless, has been turned
into good farming lanas and the whole
country is developed. The railroads did
It. The railroad made the Yakima Valley
one of the show places of the West. De
velopment always follows the railroads
and Oregon is just as capable of de
velopment as Washington. The railroad
Is the pioneer the forerunner."
Colonel Wood said further, that in his
opinion, railroads could be built into
Kastern Oregon by routes other than the
Malheur or Deschutes rivers, but at a
much greater expense and by the over
coming of big engineering difficulties.
Tells of Closed Market.
William Hanley, of Burns, said to be
the biggest stockman of Eastern Oregon,
also described the Eastern Oregon coun
try and the available routes into the dis
trict. Mr. Hanley showed a complete
knowledge of the country and was able
to go clear around it describing the rail
way passes and the advantages of differ
ent routes. He expressed Lie opinion that
it was possible to build a railroad acrijss
the Cascades from the west into Eastern
Oregon almost anywhere north of the
California line, but expressed the con
viction that the Malheur river route, now
controlled by Harriman. through his ac
quisition of the Corvallis & Eastern, was
the most feasible and most desirable from
any direction into i..e country. He also
thought the Deschutes river route , a
good one.
It was Mr. Hanley who told of being
cut out of the Colorado market for cattle
purchased by breeders of that state. Mr.
Hanley is associated with N. K. Par
sons, of Salt Lake, in the cattle business
and he said they ship 20,000 to 30.000
head out of the country yearly via On
tario, a point on the Oregon Short Line,
just over the line in Nevada. Ontario is
150 miles from Bums.
Sometimes, he said, cattle were driven
from Burns 250 miles south to Wlnne
mucea. Nov.. for rail shipment. TTp to

four or five years ago." said Mr. Hanley,
the stockmen had a good market among
the breeders in Colorado, and his ship
ments were sometimes as high as 10,000
head a year to that territory. The Ogden
gateway had been closed, however, and
the combination of local rates was too
high to make shipments to Colorado via
the Harriman system and the Denver &
Rio Grande profitable.
Prineville Banker on Stand.
Evidence as to development possibili
ties - 1n the country was secured from
T. M. Baldwin, a Prineville banker, and
Wallis Nash, ex-president of the Portland
Board of Trade.
The trend of their testimony was that,
while much of the country was capable
of dry-farming, grain for exporting from
the district could not be raised profitably
on account of the long hauls to the rail
road. Considerable alfalfa land remained
undeveloped for the same reason. The
grain and hay raised in the country, ac
cording to the testimony, wars fed to
stock which was driven to the railroads.
It was asserted that about 26 to 30 per
cent of what is known as the "Big Des
ert," is capable of cultivation. Mr. Nash
estimated the number of cattle on the
Eastern Washington ranges at 450,000,
and that -17,000,000 of the 20.000,000
pounds of wool produced annually by
Oregon comes from that district and Is
hauled from 150 to 200 miles to the rail
roads. .
The hearing closed yesterday afternoon
at 5 o'clock and will be resumed In the
office of the United States Marshal in
San Francisco at 10:30 A. M., May 10.

Ho Salmon Poaching Found "by State
Fish Patrol.
ASTORIA, Or., May 5. Special.) Sat
urday night the river was patrolled as
far up as Skamokawa, but not a net was
found in the water and the traps were
closed.. Shortly before 6 o'clock last
evening two men were taken into cus
tody, as they had dropped their net Into
the water a few minutes before the hour
named for fishing to resume, hut later
they were dismissed with a reprimand
and a warning to be more careful in the
future.
The catch last night was again slack,
but the tides are growing more favorable
for night fishing and better results are
looked for. The salmon caught average
small, but are of excellent quality and
color.
Nothing new has developed regarding
the prices, hut the fish are so scarce that
few could be secured at any terms, but
when a run starts an advance in rates
for the larger and more choice salmon
may be expected, as in former years.
