Baths Gastein. 'All Money World Waits. Never has there been a more remark able homecoming of a privafe citizen than E. H. Harriman's. Great stork mar ket operators paused as his ship drew near, the stock market itself marked time, and the industrial world turned its yes seaward, as It were, eager for a glimpse of the man whose Illness abroad has furnished much material for financial rumors. Mr. Harrlman remained on board the Kaiser Wllhelm II until the vessel docked at Hoboken. Then, after being assisted ashore, he boarded a Southern Pacific tug and was taken to Jersey City, where he was assisted to his private car. From there the trip was quickly made up the Hudson to his home at Arden. Then It was that Mr. Harrlman talked freely - about himself his health and his hopes of early recovery. Reclining on a couch, he talked to more than a score of news paper men. Jocular About Doctors. "I am entirely satisfied with my trip abroad, as far as my health is concerned," he said, "and I hare nothing on my mind except to come home and take the 'after cure.' I lost ten pounds while over there and. for a little fellow like me, that is a great deal. "The doctors advised me to come home and reat." he said, "although they in tended at first that I should rest abroad. The photographing those doctors put me through was worse than upon my ar rival here for they took 16 different pho tos of my digestive organs on the skia graph. And to make the pictures a suc cess, they began feeding me on bismuth and rice. Bismuth and rice. I under stand, show up better on the platea "I had a great deal of fun during it all, but I lost three pounds during the pho tographing process and once got a little shock. The doctors overlooked a little tack In the machine which they stood me up against: I came in contact with It." Oracular About Central Deal. Mr. Harrlman was asked concerning his reported option on a controlling Interest in New Tork Central stock which would give htm an unbroken line of steel from coast to coast. "That is an easy one," said the finan cier, smiling, "but I would not tell you if I had. "I expect to find more office-holders than stockholders now. There are more new laws and they never seem to displace the old ones; new laws mean new office holders to administer them." "Do you refer to the corporation tax?" he was asked. "Tea and some new state laws," was the reply. Legislation seemed to arouse his In terest, and. warming to his subject, he sat upon the couch. Proved He Is Not Speculator. "Three years ago I was called a specu lator." he said. "That was when Union Pacific was placed on a 10 per cent and Southern Pacific on a 5 per cent divi dend basts. I had a hard time convinc ing my associates that the roads could pay such dividends, but I had come to realize that we were building, not better than we knew, but quicker than we knew. It was difficult for me to com prehend that the development and re turns which followed our construction work in the "West were so enormous and ' so rich. "1 guess the public and the press are convinced now that I am not a specu lator." Build Tributary Lines. Mr. Harrlman would not say Just what new undertakings he proposed. "But," said he, "It is in my mind to open up new territory and to build new tributary lines. This means new settlements and more people." Touching on his railroads In Mexico, Mr. Harrlman said he had no immediate Improvement in mind, at any rate not until new equipment was needed.

(Spe cial.) The local option election for Idaho County will be held tomorrow in the vari ous precincts, and from every Indication the "drys" will poll a large majority.

COMPROMISE MAY END IT Federal Judge Bean Declares Oregon Trunk Has Initiative Rights, Based on Survey Maps Ap proved by Government. The work of building the Oregon Trunk through the Deschutes canyon will be pushed to a rapid conclusion. Judge Carey, attorney for the Oregon Trunk and the Hill Interests left last evening with Johnson Porter, of the firm of Porter Bros., for The Dalles and the Deschutes country for the purpose of putting In operation at once and pushing forward rapidly the plans al ready started for the completion of the line. Judge Carey was Jubilant over the sweeping decision given by Federal Judge R. S. Bean yesterday, whereby the Deschutes Railroad Company, rep resenting the Harrlman Interests, was enjoined temporarily from obstructing1 the work of the Oregon Trunk Company and from tresspassing on its property. Not to Oppose Second Line. That the Hill interests will not op pose the building of a line by the Des chutes Rai'road Company was declared by Judge Carey, who stated he Is will ing to engage in compromises, despite the victory of yesterday and come to an understanding to avoid further liti gation. Judge Carey insisted that two roads could be built through the can yon as we l as one and stated his willingness, even at this time, to fur ther an agreement between the rival factions. He said: "The Oregon Trunk Line will be built as rapidly as possible. A great many men are already at work on the stretch of the river as well as at various points below. This decision will not in any way delay the Deschutes Railroad Company in building Its line, as there is ample room along the river without Interfering with the rights protected by this injunction. In fact, on the ar gument before Judge Bean, I offered in behalf of the Oregon Trunk to have the whole controversy adjusted so that both lines could, be built without conflict. Wouid Make Concession. Notwithstanding this decision in our favor, I still very much desire to make any reasonable concession to avoid liti gation. I proposed that competent en gineers be appointed by the court to report upon a favorable plan. This was not accepted, but I still think this was a very sensible way to adjust our differences. If necessary where there is a conflict on the river one or the other of the companies would prob ably make a r" ange of surveyed lines, fConcluded on Page IX) . ...... .......-- r 1 1 1 i t SO NEBJUR-KrVOUS!

Out of all those who did not vote at the primary election, I think there will be 1S98 in favor of law and order. "I did know a petition would be circu lated, but under what form it would ap peear I did not know. However, this was done with my approval. I really do not want the position of District Attorney of San Francisco, but I will take it if I can get it, and I propose to- fight hard for it, now that I am in the race. It is law and order against the reverse, and I propose to put it to the voters of San Francisco in this way and see whether the majority of them favor decency. I believe they dp."
