16 THE 3IORXINO ORIX.O.VIAN. TIIUIISDAY, MAY '7. 1'HKK NORTHERN LINES TO CENTER HERE Hill-Harriman Deal Makes Portland Natural Terminal on Pacific Coast. GREAT GAIN IN EXPORTS Increased Shipments From Colum bia and Kapid Kail road Devel opment Are Results Con fidently Expected. ' Tti whole railroad world In specu lating: on th Inside results of the Hill Harriman deal, by which the Union Pacific enters Seattle and Tacoma over the lines of the Northern Pacific, First and foremost among- these results. Portland becomes the natural Pacific Coast terminal of all the northern transcontinental lines, according to the opinion of every well-informed student of the game In the Northwest. The direct outcome In other lines Is believed to be as follows: Agricultural products from the O. Tt. Sc K..-Great Northern. Northern Pa cific will pour into the Columbia River, making this port the greatest on the .Northwest coast. Portland immediately becomes the southwest terminal of the Great North ern. In company with the other roads, the Ft. Paul must push on to Portland, from the Tacoma Eastern, and will make the Columbia River . Its terminal shipping point. The North Bank will Immediately have access to the Union Depot and the terminal tracks. Roads to Build Branches. Branch lines, tributary to Portland. tvH! at once be thrown out from the Fpokane. Portland & Seattle, and from the Joint track of the Great Northern. Northern Pacinc and O. R. & N. The Oregon & Washington, already nuilt eight mtle from Ontralfa, will be rushed to Aberdeen and Gray's Harbor, which will be a direct asset to Portland. Separate territory will be developed by oth Harriman and Hill, neither having fear of the encroachment of the one In a way to minimize the investments of the other. The developments will be immediate. It t -will be Impossible for Harriman to pursue n policy of supineness. while the "Kmpire (Builder' purs ue j a progressive policy elsewhere. Peace between the two rstwhlle mag nates Is believed by railroad men to fore shadow the greatest era of railroad de velopment ever experienced in the Pacinc Northwest. Incidentally, James J. Hill has recog nized that the natural route to the Coast, whether Portland or Puget Sound. Is along the water grade of the Columbia River, in place of over the Cascade Mountains. Additional Announcement Expected. This, then. Is the "writing on the wall" every railroad man recognizes as an in dubitable promise of things better to come. That further information cannot be long delayed is conveyed by the announce ment made yesterday by General Man ager O Brien of the Harriman lines, that he expected within a few days a letter giving fuller details than were conveyed In the telegram given The Oregonlan for publication. That this pact has been considered for some time, and even considered to be di rectly on the tapis, is shown by Edward yi. Harriman's statement to The Ore gonian last September that peace was assured between the two rival systems. At that time Mr. Harriman promised a road from Portland to Puget Sound within a very short time, and added, "We are not playing fast and loose with the state. We mean what we say and will carry out every promise we have made." Prom the meetings between the rival magnates In New York and fhicago. It was gathered that some amicable agree ment was to be forthcoming, but no sug gestion was ever given that It would be by Joint ownership of the tracks between Portland and Tacoma. While 15 years ago rights of way were to be obtained reasonably, the situation Is now changed and it is contended that it would cost Mr.- Harriman $5,000,000 to get through Chehalis and Centralla alone. Before all rights of way had been pur chased, it was believed the Harriman policy would be changed and entirely new territory developed In place of paralleling the Northern Pacinc. May Build to Coos Bay. While Harriman bad thus much to gain from a purchase, or part purchase of the Northern Pacinc track. Hill had the alternative of watt-hi tig a larce part of the territory at present tributary to hLs line .being taken .away. He was able further, to ponder on the effects of ruin ous competition in Eastern Washington, while Harriman again delayed hi Central Oregon road, for fear that Hill would be right on his tracks. Similar fear was shown with regard to the Coos Bay line, which now, according to th opinion of one of the most authoritative railroad men In Portland, will likely be built. Poseibly the fact that Portland would rise in value to a first-class railroad center had not much to do with the way the pawns were moved, but th fact that Portland was the mwt desirable port, had some influence In the action that makes Portland easily the leading port and rail road center on the Pacinc Northwest. Questions have been raised as to whether the agreement is such as to stop the contemplated lines into territory at present undeveloped. With the entrance of the independent Chicago, Milwaukee A 9t. Paul road, this theory Is scouted. The policy of the St. Paul at shown by any railroad map of the country. Is to throw out short feeder lines. Thist policy is In variable and will certainly be pwsued in the Northwest. In self-defense, if for no other reason, the other road must follow ult At present the St. Paul Is said to have ten feeders to one possessed by any other line. The development of the same line of construction In the West may be considered assured from all the lines. Means Rapid development- limitation to particular territory Is thought to have the good result of causing Intensive development to a marked de gree, of the particular territory each road has considered ito own. or under the new agreement will be entitled to call Its own. W hatever this development may be, the assured fact Is that Portland will he come the port of all territory east of the Cascade Mountains. whether Oregon. Idaho, or a5tem asmngton. Just how the Canadian Pacific figure tn the deal Is also a point that Is giving acme officials1 anxious consideration. The present combined agreement against the li ill lines has almost a year to run. That agreement, permitting the running of C. P. R. trains over the O. R. A N. to Spokane, is In direct contradiction to the spirit of the new arrangement, and the theory waa promulgated that this also was one of the clubs Harriman was able to hold over his rival. The C. P. R. line has shown special eagerness to hook up with the, O. R. A N., as by so doing It would be saved the construction of tracks Into Portland. Whether the, com bined agreement of the Union Pacific. N. P. and G. N. will now he sufficient to "cold-shoulder" the British road out of the situation la a point that must come up for early settlement. The new Soo-Spokane service will di vert considerable traffic to Spokane which might otherwise have been carried to Vancouver. B. C. and whether, after spending a year In diverting this service-, the agreement will be canceled, leaving Hill and Harriman to divide up the pro ceeds. Is one of the problems the sit uation naturally brings out. Harriman Loes Uttle. In the abandonment of the Oregon & Waiihington. Harriman stands, appar ently, to lose nothing. With the excep tion of the Inflated price Seattle rejl estate speculator put on their property, hi holdings are still of value. The Tacoma tunnel, giving an easy grade entrance Into Tacoma from South Tacoma. which the contractors have prac tically In course of completion, will still be used, as well as the terminals. The construction of eight miles from Centralla will probably be pushed to completion. and the line will be used as orlainally In tended, to convey coal to the tracks now owned by the Joint lines. The road was Incorporated In the Spring of but progress has been very Intermittent. If the N. P. has not sold two-thirds In terest In the Tacoma line to the G. N. and Union Pacinc. It Is believed that by giving an agreement for perpetual use. the same end has been achieved. The belief held in some quarters mas that the N. P. could not sell the mad. as tt was a land grant railroad. But the Northern Pacific Is no longer- a land grant rorpora atfon. as is the U. P.. and therefore can suit its own convenience In the matter. The rental theory propounded at the Sound is generally scouted among well informed officials. The sujcicestlon that the St. Paul might use the Joint track on the same lines that Harriman will re a Joint-user with Karllng. of the St. Paul Tacoma-tn-Seattle track, la also laughed at In Portland, for the reason that whether the road were purchased or merely leased for perpetuity, Harriman could not give any othc road permission to use what Is the property of the three roads combined. If the Chicago. Milwaukee A 8t Paul enters Portland at all. It will be over Its own tracks from Seattle to Portland. Milwaukee Not In the Deal. ST. PAH Minn.. May 2. "Tha Great Northern Railway has arranged for Joint and equal trackage facilities with tha Northern Pacific for local business be tween Seattle and Portland. The road will be double tracked. I understand that the LTnlbn Pacific haa made a similar ar-rana-ement' with the Northern Pacific Railroad." Thla statement waa made by L W. Hill, of the Great Northern, to the Asso ciated Prew today, when asked concern ing the report from Portland last night that traffic arrangements had been made between the Northern Pacific. Great Northern and Union Pacific railroads for Joint use of the line between Tacoma and Vancouver. Mr. Hill said the Milwaukee road waa not Included In the arrararement.

The complaint asks for an Injunction restraining the cooperage company from guaranteeing payment for the Knstman Timber Company of a note for awi.tino in favor of Eastern capitalists, an Incident In an effort to purchase what la known as the Street timber tract. In Oataop County. An injunction which will pre vent the Eastman Timber Company from Issuing t.,.. .... worth of bonds, and the .....,-r.s- company from standing as sponsor for their payment, la also asked. The business Integrity of such men aa Gustsve Woerner. Warren E. Thomas. Clarence A. Li:ile. William E H-1 ford and Alfred J. Bulls are Involved In the suit. It being alleged In the complaint that the majority of them are but the tools of Eastman. The Western operae Company waa organised In 1S7. ulth a capital stock of j .'.). of which 31.ono.flrt waa common stock, and . preferred. Of th's stock, certificate, were Issued for the following amounts to Eastman. e3T.; Koster. r$.'; Woerner. trrT.ao; Thomas, tl.rt; Li'lle. jwo; Belford. 1; Hunts, sz.om. Shares Not All Assigned. Koster allegea that the STJT aharea of stork he received were Issued to him aa trustee for the barrel company. At th. annual meeting of the cooperage com pany, held In Portland January S. last year, a resolution waa adopted providing that the stock be returned, and a reissue made to conform to the physical values as shown by the company's) books. Koster says he returned the barrel com pany's ihans, and received In lieu thereof shares, the balance of li ahares not having alnce been assigned to anyone. The plaintiffs go on to say that th Eastman Timber fnmxmny, which waa also organised In 19H7. sought to acquire from Koster and Eastman a contract to purchase the Htreet tract, agreeing to pay a balance of TTW.oro on the purchaes pnee. besides Koster s and Eastman B expenses In purchasing the tract amount ing to ! o. Koster says that last Iiecember Eastman submitted "to the bar rel company a plan for the complete purchase of the tract, whereby the tlm ber company waa to Issue bonds and give a mortgage on all its property to raise the necessary money, and the cooperage and barrel companies were to guarantee the payment of these bonds by also mort gaging their property. To this Koster said he would not consent, and says he so notified Eastman. He says he also told Eastman that the cooperage com pany would not consent to any such scheme. But although he knew tha alt! tude of Koster. Eastman la accused of fraudulently attempting to procure the endorsement and guarantee of the coop- erge company to the bonds, and to force the barrel company Into It by holding stockholders' meeting on January la without notifying Koster or his firm. Denies lie Gate Proxy. Koster says that although Gustav Woerner voted the html eomnanv'. shares of stock, he (Kosfer) never gave Woerner a proxy. While 61 Vi shares were purported to be represented. Koster saya there were In reality but 36 1&. not enough to transact buslnvss. After the stock holders' meetffig. a meet ing of the cooperage directors was held, at which Koster says Eastman. Woerner, Buhtz. Be; ford. Lailie ami Thomas were present, and at which It waa voted to enlarge the powers of the corporation by filing supplementary articles of in corporation so that It coutd guarantee the bonds. Koster says he did not learn of the action until March 91 Then Eastman and woerner are to V.ave gone to Chicago and arranged with the Earwell Trust Company and the N. W. Halsey Company for or fevo.. o to complrte the purchase of the tim ber land, the bonds to be sold by thi companies bearing 6 per cent. The com plaint sets forth that this contract waa afterward modified so as to provide that the timber company give before rVbruary . 1910. a .note for iw.ooo. at which time the money was to be paid over by th bankers, the note being secured by mortgage on the timber and cooperage companies. The balance of the Vt. O was to be pa'.d later. With the except:on of Koster. tha same men are directors of th. cooperage and timber companies, according to the barrel company's allegations. Hunts la manager of the cooperage company's Seattle ornce. It la allege that the cooperage cvm pany gets nothing for the mortsrage. or for going surety on the note, and that the resolutions passed "at Eastman's dictation." are Told. It Is asserted that the stock of the cooperage company will depreciate in value .if the contract I carried out. and that the company will be hampered In carry ing on Its business.
