PRICE OFFERED ONLY HITCH Henry A Blair, Who Reorganized Chicago Railways Company, Is Conducting Necotlations With Four Railroads of City. CHICAGO, April 29. (Special.) Unification of the Chicago Elevated Railroads, regarded as the first essen tial step toward a perfect transporta tion service, today was said to be in sight. A gigantic deal. Involving a capitalization of 1100,000,000, may be consummated and the plan put in op eration August 1. Henry A. Blair, who successfully re organized the Chicago Railways Com pany, Is the" financier' who hopes to merge the Elevated Railroads. Cash Offered to Companies. Representing a syndicate of New York bankers with unlimited resources, he has submitted a definite offer to the Klevated Railroad officials to buy the properties, either paying cash to stockholders In return for a deposit of their stock, or giving them securities in the new corporation equal to the par value of their holdings. So far, the directors of all com panies have agreed that the plan is a fair one, the hitch being in the price offered by Mr. Blair and that which the directors think they ought to get. While Mr. Blair has not announced what his cash offer is, he admitted that it was a good deal more than the present value of the stock of the dif ferent companies. i How Property Is Capitalized. The capitalization of the elevated roads in stocks and bonds is as follows: Name. Stocks. Bonds. Total.

BALLINGER TAKES STAND (Contlnuad From F!rt Page.) Secretary Garfield and President Roose velt after he had replied negatively to a suggestion of Senator Piles that he accept the post of Commissioner of the Land Office. Reading from the Roose velt telegram, he said: "It is your duty to help me. Tou and Garfield will lift an immense bur den from my shoulders." It was then, Ballinger said, that he decided to accept the post, and yertrees asked the witness whether his relations with Garfield then were friendly. "Friendly, but never Intimate. I , knew Mr. Garfield in college." Vertrees asked Ballinger whether he knew any of the Cunningham Alas kan coal claimants at the time he be came Commissioner. He said . he was not aware that he knew any of them at that time, but had since discovered that he knew about six of them, whom he named. "Did you have any Interest in Alas ka lands?" asked Vertrees. Xot Interested. In Alaska Land. "I had no Interest in Alaskan or any other lands whatsoever, either directly or Indirectly," retorted Ballinger em phatically. "What professional relations did you or your law firm have at that time with Alaska?" "I don't recall that we represented any. with Jhe possible exception of Watson Allen, a lumberman, who had some interest In Nome in placer gold diggings." "That was all " "Now wait. I want to qualify that statement. I did represent the Pioneer Mining Company, which I organized in 1904 or 1905. Its interests were in and about Nome, and it was composed largely of Scandinavians." Ballinger then told of having come to Washington and of an interview he had at the White House with President Roosevelt soon after his arrival. Rais ing his voice, Ballinger said: "The President said to me as he greeted me, 'I have no apologies to make, Ballinger. I'm glad you are here. Any man who could clean up Seattle as you did can clean up that Land Office " Mr. Ballinger then described how he had "cleaned up" the Land Office, relat ing in detail the many changes he had made and the Innovations he had adopted. He first met L. R. Glavis in San Fran cisco in the Summer of 1907. At that time, he swore, nothing had been said about coal lands, but Glavis had Asked him to secure his transfer to Portland when he returned to Washington. Explaining why he had put H. K. Love In charge of the Alaskan coal cases instead of H. T. Jones, another special agent. Ballinger said he lacked confidence in Jones. Opinion of Jones Confirmed. "His action before this committee Jus tifies my opinion of htm," said Ballinger. Jones testified against Ballinger at the inquiry. Attorney Vertrees asked Ballinger about a conference he had with Glavis in December, 1907. He referred Bal linger to Glavis' testimony before the committee that they had talked about several specific groups of Alaska coal claims. "That's a willful and deliberate lie," exclaimed Ballinger. He said they had discused the situation in general, but that le knew nothing about any groups. Vertrees called the witness' attention to the matter of the "clearllsting" of the Cunningham entries by his order as Commissioner In January, 1908. Ballin ger said Chief of Field Division Schwartz had gone over the report on the claims 6f H. K. Love, made on August 2. 1907. and decided that the claims were entitled to patent, there being no protest in the record. "I want to say right here." said Bal linger, "that if I were passing over the same claims today with the same record before me I would say they . were entitled to be clearlisted." "I never had any professional or le gal business with the men listed as Cunningham entrymen," he added. The Secretary denied Glavis" statement that he had informed him (Ballinger) that the Love report, on which the Cun ningham "clearlistlng" was based, was unreliable, because it was likely lo have been Influenced by Love's candi dacy for United States Marshal in Alas ka. Ballinger said those claims had been under investigation under Glavis up to the time of his dismissal last Summer. "Did you ever Interfere with Glavis' investigation into those claims?" asked Vertrees. "Not in the slightest degree, at any time," replied Ballinger. "Glavis was never hampered. . but was pampered all the way through." Questioned as to his differences with Secretary Garfield in 1907 about coal lands, Ballinger explained he had fa vored the sale system as opposed to a leasing system. He said Garfield dis approved of his report, but subsequent ly President Roosevelt called him to the White House and asked him to ex plain what his differences with Gar field were. As a result of that in terview, he had written a letter to the President, embodying his views. When he saw the President subsequently, the latter said to him: " 'I have embodied your recommenda tion in my annual message, but I guess when Garfield and Plnchot see it they will go through the roof. But I guess the roof is strong enough to hold "em " At the afternoon session, Vertrees questioned Secretary Ballinger regarding his appearance before the House com mittee on public" lands on March 4, 1908, in advocacy of the Cale bill, providing for the selling of coal lands. Ballinger contradicted former Secretary Garfield's testimony before the committee that he did not authorize him (Ballinger) to ap pear before the committee. He said Gar field had written him assuring him that he knew Ballinger's position and that there would be no misunderstanding. He added that Garfield was In error in telling the committee that In advocating the Cale bill before the House commit tee he (Ballinger) was favoring the ad mission to patent of other than bona fide claims. Information Xot Misused. "The assiduous attempts of certain malicious persons to circulate throughout the country reports that 1 carried away from the Land Office information which I could use to the detriment of the United States Government, have not the slightest foundation," said Ballinger. "All information could have been used in per fect fairness in any way I desired to use it without the possibility of prejudice to any Interests of the United States. The Information was such that anybody might have had. "There was nothing pending at the time I left the Land Office against any of these interests or a record in contra vention of rights of the people to have their patents further than the unique protest of this man Glavis. which had come in through his letter of January 22. It stated no facts that could have war ranted a public officer to hold up claims except the suspicion that there might have been something which . might be investigated." "Did you retire voluntarily from the office of Commissioner of the Land Of fice?" asked Vertrees. "Most delightfully voluntarily, " re plied Ballinger, then reading a letter from President Roosevelt, in which the ex-President spoke of his "admirable work," and of his "altogether too short service," and his "patriotism," in mak ing personal sacrifices in order to ac cept the Commisslonershlp. "It was a frequent thing for Mr. Roosevelt to say to his friends regard ing me, 'I have secured a $25,000 man for $5000 I was glad to go back and earn some of that $25,000." Cunningham Cases Reviewed. Ballinger then told of his relations with certain coal claims with which he was professionally connected after he left office. He emphatically declared that in none of these cases was his connection with them such as to affect their status In the land office. Ballinger then related his connection with, Clarence Cunningham after he had left the land office. He said he met Cunningham about September 4, 1908, through C. J. Smith. He said Cunningham called on him for Informa tion as to what steps to take, calling attention to the affidavits he had made. He said Cunningham called three or four times, and in the meantime pre pared an outline of facts In connection with efforts to acquire coal lands In Alaska. He said he did not except to represent Cunningham, but as he was coming east, both he and Smith asked him to take the affidavit to Garfield. . Garfield Names Conditions. Ballinger said he took It to Garfield, at his home in Ohio. He said he again saw Garfield, and also Dennet, In Washington on September 23, and that Garfield had said to him that "if these people would come under the law of May 28, 1908, they would get their patents, otherwise they would not." In the Wilson -Company's cases, Glavis had testified Ballinger had drawn up an escrow agreement giving his client, Watson et al., a right t pur chase four claims after patents had been secured. These claims had not been proved up, and Glavis contended that perjury would have had to be com mitted to secure patents for those lands. Ballinger denied he had ever pre pared such an agreement, and charac terized the story as "another case where this man Glavis deliberately at tempted to build up the case to be smirch my character." "I bitterly denounce his testimony In that connection," added the secretary. Questioned about Glavis" sattement that me met Ballinger In Seattle In the Summer of 1908, and that the latter told jiim that the Cunningham claims Were in a bad fix, Ballinger Interrupted his lawyer Impatiently. "That Is a deliberate lie," he ex claimed, "and like many other of his statements to this commute. It Is an other contemptible attempt of that man Glavis to besmirch my character." Law Firm Dissolved. Passing on to the time when he became Secretary of the Interior. Ballinger said he "burned all hia bridges behind him, dissolved his law Arm and' severed all connections with corporations." Mr. Vertrees asked Mr. Ballinger to ex plain whether, as charged by Glavis. he had "changed his mind over night" about asking Attorney-General Wickersham for an opinion on the proper construction of the law of May 8, after he had promised to do so at a conference with Glavis, Commissioner Dennett and Chief of Field Division Schwartz. Glavis feared Assist ant Secretary Pierce, to whom the Secretary- had referred the matter for an opinion, might so construe the law as to validate the Cumningham claims. Ballinger said he had not promised to ask the Attorney-General for an opinion, but did so subsequently. He spoke to Mr. Wickersham after a Cabinet meeting and the latter told him that Glavis already had appealed for an opinion on the ground it was necessary for his (Ballin ger's) protection. The committee then adjourned until tomorrow. Sunday Expenses Allowed. OLYMPtA, Wash., April 29. (Spe cial.) In an official opinion to State Auditor Clausen, the Attorney-General holds that the State Examiners now employed checking up different county offices are entitled to draw expenses for Sunaays if away from home at work, but are not entitled to draw salary for that day unless they actually work on Sundays. Postal Building New Line. GOLD HILL, Or.,' April 29. Thirty men employed by the Postal Telegraph Company have arrived In Gold Hill, and will remain for a month, working out of town both ways on the new telegraph line being built from Port land to San Francisco, and whioh Is completed from Portland south to with in four miles of this place. 30 TOWNS VISITED IN 1000-MILE TRIP Excursion Party Home After Five DaysHospitality Is Unbounded.

President Per rln, of Paolfio University delivered the welcoming address and responses wer given by Dr. Wetherbee and K. Mc Kercher. In the latter part of the trip the busi ness men discovered that they had with them a born entertainer in F. O. Bristol, of the Columbia Life & Trust Co., and he became the fun-maker of the party, with his rich fund of stories and an in imitable way of telling them. Mr. Bristol aided In the entertainment fur nished by the excursionists at Forest Grove. Hilleboro was the last stopping place In the long journey. A band met the train and headed a parade to the Court house. - As the excursionists walked to the building they passed a group of gaily dressed girls who were on a balcony and who pelted thorn with lilacs, "snow balls, " carnations and other blossoms. An' automobile tour of the nearby coun try had been planned, but was abandoned on account of the rain. In the courtroom. Mayor A. B. Bailey presided and delivered an address of welcome to which Dr. Andrew C Smith responded, again strongl yadvocating a state-wide good roads movement. Dr. J. P. Henderson, president of the Hills-boro Board of Trade, responded and 1. Samuel spoke briefly for Portland. George TV. Hoyt was chairman for the excursionists during the latter part of the day. business having called Ralph "W". Hoyt away. Each member of the party brought home a load of souvenirs, one of the most appreciated of which was that furnished by William McMurray and John M. Scott, of the Southern Pacific passenger department. This souvenir was in the form of a well-bound memo randum book, on the back of which was printed the name of the member of the party to which It was presented. At the head of each page was printed the name of a town visited, the points be ing arranged In chronological order, with the time of arrival and departure of the train given. On the last pages were printed the personnel of the party and a list of records carried in the observation for use in the grafonola loaned for the excursion by Eilers Piano House. ; Thanks Extended to Railroad. Toward the close of the Journey the following resolution was prepared and presented to the railroad officials: "Whereas, The members of the Port land Businessmen's excuslon desire to ex press their appreciation both of the ad morable arrangements for the comfort and convenience of the party and of the uniform courtesy, consideration and uni form forethought which have made the Klamath Falls trip the most successful and most enjoyable ever conducted under the auspices of the Commercial Club; and "Whereas, The pleasure of and success of the excursion have been due in large part to the luxurious appointments of the special train placed at our service; and "Whereas, The service of the train has been all that could be desired; now there fore, be It "Resolved. That we extend our sincere thanks and appreciative commendation to Messrs. William McMurray, John M. Scott and W. H. Jenkins and their corps of able assistants." Trip Accomplishes Much. The 75 Portland business men who returned last night from the Southern Oregon tour were unanimous in their expressions of pleasure concerning their experiences and the good accom plished for a united Oregon. Follow ing are statements made by some of the members of the party: D. O. Lively, general agent Portland Union Stockyards "The country tra versed was a revelation to many of us. The progress and development of West tern and Southern Oregon is an earnest testimonial of the fact that Portland is not building larger than the sup porting country will warrant. The peo ple are alive to the advisability of an increase in the production of live stock." Willis Dunnlway, State Printer "I have seen an empire that is new to me, although I am a native Oregonian. Every part of the state visited shows wonderful progress and development. It is evident that the campaign of pub licity and promotion started at the time of the Lewis and Clark Fair and carried out since then under the lead ership of the Portland Commercial Club is bringing great results. We shall see a greater growth in the next 10. or 15 years than ever before." W. E. Coman, general freight agent Southern Pacific Company The busi ness men have found the town prosper ous and the indications' "for develop ment good. Portland has gained con fidence in the interior towns, and the interior towns have gained confidence in Portland as a result of the excur sion. The feeling of friendship, has been augmented and all are bound to work together for a greater Oregon." Medford Offers Surprises. Arthur St. Clair Gay, credit manager of the George Lawrence Company "This was my first trip down the Val ley and the dust has been taken from my eyes. I enjoyed the trip from start to finish. The congeniality of the members of the party was a source of great pleasure, and there was not a single unpleasant Incident to mar the whole journey. The development work In Oregon is tremendous." Dom J. Zan, president Zan Brothers "Medtord surprised me. I did not re alize there was such a movement in fruit lands or so much money Invested there. There are great oportunities awaiting capital at Klamath Falls. That country is only in its infancy, and there will be a wonderful district there. Ashland, too, Is beautiful, and has a great future. Eugene has made great progress In the last few years, and looks like a real city. Albany has done a noble work In street Improve ment. But the greatest surprise of all was the Oregon Agricultural Col lege at Corvallls. Very few Portland ers realize what a great Institution It is." Edward Ehrman, president Mason, Ehrman & Co. "To me the visit to the Oregon Agricultural College was the most Interesting Incident of the trip. It is a wonderful Institution. Every other place was a revelation. Every town shows progress of such an extent that it is Impossible, almost, to draw comparisons. We have tried to show the kindly feeling of Portland toward, other portions of the state, and I be lieve It has been appreciated. The communities of Oregon have been drawn closer to Portland, and the purpose of the trip has been accom plished." Other Trips Now Planned. John P. Plagemann, manager H. Liebes & Co. "The great surprise to me was to see the general prosperity and the great prospects that are ahead. The trip has helped us all to realize what enormous resources Oregon pos sesses. I am mora than glad that I made the trip, and will consider It a duty to see the remainder of the state when a similar opportunity Is offered." . Julius Louisson, manager M. A. Gunst & Co. "It was the most enjoy able and beneficial trip I ever under took. It has brought a revelation to me as to the growth and possibilities of Southern Oregon and the Wllllmette Valley. Such trips are of value in get ting acquainted with customers. My visit to the educational Institutions at Eugene and Corvallls has convinced me that there Is no reason why our young people should go East to gain an education." F. O. Bristol, superintendent of agen cies, Columbia Life & Trust Co. "I believe I am the baby booster of this trip. so far as length of residence In Portland Is concerned, but, like a baby, I have been boosting and making as much noise as any healthy youngster. As is also the case with youngsters, I realize what I am boosting for. Al though coming from New York, and being imbued with the average New Yorker's opinion of that city, 1 have become thoroughly possessed by tne Oregon spirit. It has been the trip of my life." f Crop Prospects Surprise. W. A, Williams, general agent Contin ental Insurance Company. The favorable condition of the crops at this season of the year impressed me most. I have been covering this same country for 11 years and never saw better prospects. "When I say crops I mean everthlng that is raised in Western and Southern Ore gon. The development of the country would perhaps impress a more infrequent visitor, bin I have been watching it from year to year and the crop con ditions therefore impressed me most. It has been a delightful trip. Frank D. Gibbs, secretary-treasurer Tuli & Gibbs. The most wonderful rea ture of the trip to me was the fact that we traveled more than 1000 miles and along the entire route saw only, a most wonderfully productive country, with growing and prosperous cities. I was surprised to learn, too, of the many resources we have In Oregon. Oregon is bound to become a populous and mag nificent state. J. C. Good, secretary Union Meat Com pany. Corvallls interested me most. It was my first visit to the Oregon Agri cultural College and I am going back again. It is a shame that more of Port land's people do not go there and see that great institution. My visit there left an impression with me that I shall never lose. These excursions should be made semi-annual. They create a better feel ing, for the people like to meet the men they do business with. Roseburg de serves especial commendation for the delightful reception . and surprises we were given at that point. Rapid Growth Impresses. Robert McPherson, vice-president W. G. McPherson & Co. The excursion was an Immense success. Each of us not only got acquainted with Portland busi ness men but enlarged his acquaintance at other points. I wish such excursions were given oftener. George W. Hoyt, -cashled Merchants" National Bank "The great development that has taken place since the last busi ness men's excursion covered Western Oregon, the new acreage placed in culti vation and the Improvements in roads, streets and buildings made the strongest impression on me." Dr. J. R. Wetherbee "I' have never be fore been so impressed by the magnifi cence of the undeveloped resources and possibilities of Oregon, and am greatly pleased over the high class of improve ments that are being made in each of the towns visited. The people are surely thinking and have passed the stage of favoring temporary Improvements. It was also a deep gartlflcation to visit the splendid educational institutions of Eu gene eand Corvallls. There is a great need for the business and commercial In terests of Oregon to support them, for they are the creators of our future good citizenship. There is also a strong need for a greater effort toward building up the agricultural territory adjacent to the cities. First Vacation for Ti. Samuel. I. Samuel, general manager Oregon Life Isurance Company "It was actually my first vacation in all my life, and I enjoyed it immensely. I believe the ex cursloin has unified the business inter ests of the whole state and I know It has promoted a better acquaintanceship among the men who were on the train. I have lived in Portland 29 years, and it was when the train was in Ashland that I met for the first time Mr. Rasmussen, a member of our party, who has been a citizen of Portland for 27 years." Ralph W. Hoyt, president Portland Rose Festival Association It was the most sat isfactory of the several excursions given under the auspices of the Portland Com mercial Club. I discovered a keen inter est in the Rose Festival. Every town that we visited will be represented, I am as sured, and a great attendance Is prom ised from our own state. Sam Connell, president American Bank & Trust Company The towns of the Wil lamette Valley and Southern Oregon have made good the promise- given four years ago at the time of the preceding business men's excursion. . The things talked of then have been realized and most of the cities have exceeded even what they hoped for at that time. Good Feeling Found Everywhere. Dr. Andrew C. Smith I was most strongly Impressed by the good feel ing throughout the state. Conditions are very different from those we en countered on the trip four years ago. All evidence of pessimism and jealousy are gone. Oregon now needs little en couragement in the work-together movement, for It exists. The only thing that I could see that Is now needed Is more interest In good roads. It is the only thing in which. Oregon is backward. Henry Wemme, aviator and good roads advocate I was born and reared In Europe and for 15 years trav eled constantly over the world. I therefore think that I can see things in this country which the native can not. The "Willamette Valley and West ern Oregon compr'se the paradise of the earth. Nature has done so much for this country that the native-born person does not appreciate the coun try to the extent that it deserves. Things have really come too easy for Western Oregon. On this trip I have seen beautiful farms, beautiful homes, beautiful scenery and beautiful women.

The main reason why the cost of living is so high today is the fact that produce raised any distance away from a railroad cannot be marketed to good advantage for want of roads. If the people are too poor to build good roads why not borrow money, which can be had in the East at a low rate of interest for long terms? Get the money in the community and it remains there, and good roads' are also ob talned. Two birds are thus killed with one stone. F. McKercher, secretary Equitable Savings & Loan Association. The excur sion has resulted in a great mutual bene fit for the members of the party as well as between them and the citizens of other communities. Our hearts beat more In unison. The ontside people, too, have learned that our interest in them is wholesouled. Much of the credit for the success of the trip belongs to the rail road company and to Mr. McMurray, the general passenger agent. There was less levity and more earnest effort shown on this trip than on any other. E. B. Holmes, of Holmes & Menefee. It has been a delightful trip. The treat ment from the Southern Pacific Company as well as from the people we visited was A-l. We have seen Oregon in its most perfect season. Hood's Sarsaparilla Cures All Spring Ailments. Mrs. Marlon Bruce, Cumberland, M., writes: "I have taken Hood's Sarsa-' parllla for a great many years, and I think It the best blood medloine In the world. I take It both Spring and Fall.
