4 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY. MAY 6, 1910. HILLW1LL GRIDIRON WESTERN OREGON Electric Lines to Be Extended in Valley East and West Line to Wait. , TERMINALS MOST NEEDED Head of Great Northern at Banquet Tells Plana to Develop Oregon, and. Discusses Prospects of Pacific Commerce. MR. HII.L It Is the TELLS HIS KLA-S. Intention of the Hill system, said 3. J. Hill at the ban an Interview following. quet and In to share the traffic of the Wlllam mette Valley with the Harriman system. The electric system will be developed, will be continued on an electric basis and will be used as a feeder to the North Bank. Both the United Railways and the Oregon Electric will be turned over to President Stevens, of the Oregon Trunk, and It is hoped there would be no chanr In the present man agership and officials. The two roads up tia Deschutes Canyon win be con tinued separately, as far as Mr, Kill knew. The Harriman lines have made no overtures to the Hill sys tem regarding the elimination of one road. The Oregon Trunk will be continued and. If the Harriman lines desire to use the tracks. Mr. Hill said he would welcome such an ar rangement. Mr. Hill admitted ownership of the Pacific A Kaaterr., but said this was not the time to discuss an east and west line across the state. Louis Hill added that the Coos Bay line was Impossible. "It Is a mere -newspaper story," he added. Although he carefully pointed out that there were limitations to railroad-building, James J. Hill made it quite piain last night at a private banquet at the Portland Hotel that it -was his inten ' Hon to build further into the Willam ette Valley. With W. W. Cotton, chief attorney of the Harriman lines, at his left, whom he made the recipient of a number of good humored Jokes, Mr. Hill was almost con tent to let railroad development go and talk: farming, but at the earnest solicita tion, of Theodore B. Wilcox, president of the Portland flouring Mills, at whose invitation the banquet was given and whose guest Mr. Hill was, he intimated very clearly that the Willamette Valley was the backbone of Portland, that the climate and soil were there to support a city of millions and that it was the in tention of the Hill roads to delve into the trafflo there. He warranted there would be nothing so heavy his lines could not carry it away. To the Deschutes situation Mr. Hill made but brief allusion. He said Cen tral Oregon could now take care of it self. Of the Harriman line he said: "We are going to wish it welU I hope we are good neighbors and that our men don't pull faces across the river, - for there is room enough for two. We could not turn back if we would, so we are going to be just as good neighbors as we can." At the banquet Mr. Hill said no ar rangement had been come to with the Deschutes Railroad regarding the aban donment of one line and the completion of the other with a common user privi lege, and none had been asked for. Were it to be asked, he said, the Oregon Trunk would willingly grant a trackage ar rangement. Both the United Railways and the Ore pon Klectric were to be developed and they would be placed under President Stevens. "Announcements about them must come from Stevens," said Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill said he hoped there would be no change from the present managership and officials, whom he deemed entirely satisfactory. "We have owned the Pacific & Kastern a long time," Mr. Hill admitted in reply to a query, but when asked the prospects for an east and west line across the state said : "This is not the time to talk of that," Terminals of First Importance. Mr. Hill was in his very best form. As he looked around on the two score listeners, he gleefully rubbed his hands and cracked jokes about Oregon, Mr. Cot ton and Scotchmen, till he had his audi tors at one moment solemn and the next in roars of laughter. When he warned them that Portland must have better terminal facilities, a solemn note was interjected into his address. He drew a picture ot trie wrecking of a city by rea son of inadequate terminal facilities and t-nid this was now the problem of the day. Imperially emphatic was he on the high value Portland was putting on Its streets, alluding to the difficulty the O. R. & N. Is having about the vacation of East Side streets for the approaches of the new railroad bridge. He considered land transportation the greatest thing possible for Portland, and If any outlet was crip- plea, ne warned his Hearers the conse diMtiops would be detrimental tothe city's grawtn. , Mr. Hill rather ridiculed the idea of Portland having- great trade on the Pa cific Ocean. He pointed out how In the last 10 years the export trade had prac tically sunk to a mlniimum with the coun tries bordering on the Pacino Ocean and commented tlint the foreigner could beat America out every time when it came to a question of water transportation. With the exception of flour, some steel and a little raw cotton. Mr. Hill did not be lieve there would be any Asiatic trade. He, therefore, contended It was not so important for Portland to have rail and wafr meeting as to have good land transportation facilities. Mr. Hill was introduced by Mr. Wilcox who, in a few brief words, said when last Mr. Hill had dined with him two years ago, ne naa Drought p the Ques tion of Central Oregon. "I think he has done pretty well in two years," comment ed Mr. Wilcox. "Mr. Hill started In with the North Bank after long persuasion and I think it is now safe to leave Central Oregon and its transportation facilities safe in his hands." he continued. Willamette Valley Mentioned. "Central Oregon Is well enough in its way. but the oldest settled part of this state needs transportation facili ties just as much. If Mr. Hill will in vestigate the Willamette Valley, he will find a country just as capable of sup porting a population as the country of Central Oregon. CJenially rubbing his hands, Mr. Hill tpoke of his ride up and down the Wll lametto Valley, as far as Salem. He added that until he had taken that trip he had never fully recognized what had been said about Portland being one of the richest cities, for its size. In the country. "I never realized till today," he said, where it got its riches from. There fLTo two to three millions of acres that are unsurpassed in tne wona ior cli mate and soil and maybe we will have to come along and help Wilcox with bis farming. Bu tremember, whatever . you do. continue to better the cultivation of your soil and remember you have good cause to be thankful Portland is' lo cated where it is. . 'Twenty-one years ago last October, I met a lot of old-timers here and ever since that time I have never been able to get the impression out of my mind that the way to get out from the Inland Empire was to follow tne water. I think there is room here for trans portation. We have given our friends a good start, but I think we would like to participate in the benefits to be re ceived. We would like to see our friends succeed with their line. We wish it welL" Mr. Hill then commented upon the upbuilding of the city of Portland and mentioned that he had observed both coal and wood being taken Into dwellings from the front sidewalks for lack of alleyways. He continued: "A great number of people think there Is no limit to rail road building; there is. If you have a railroad sending 60fr cars a day on a single track, it is doing a big busi ness. But the expenses of operating can be made too great. New.Tork is getting to be a most expensive town to do business in. -In Portland, you have a terminal company and terminal yards which cannot be much further taxed than they are at present." . Mr. Hill contended that larger yards were required. He said that in Chi cago at present it was impossible, at certain times, to move freight as ex peditiously as from the Coast to Chi cago. From 1897 to 1907 a period of 10 years the Interstate Commerce Com mission statistics showed an increase of 148 per cent, or about 15 per cent a year, said Mr. Hill, in the number of railroad ton-miles, and added that a ton-mile was the only fair basis of comparison one ton borne one mile. Increased in West. He said but little of this Increase had originated east of the Mississippi River and most of It in tne territory west of that river. Most of the increase was out here," he continued, "where patriotic railroad men are trying to do their best to build up the ountry. I know it is quite unselfish on our part and on the part of Cotton, here and we don't ex pect a copper cent in return. But If the country does grow, let some of the crumbs fall to us and some to them, for whether we live or whether we die, your future Is going to be settled by your land transporta tion." Mr. Hill then went into the rail aues- tlon at some little length, comparing the cost of roads in this country with inose abroad and favorably comparing the rates in vogue in this country with those in Europe. now, as to the North Bank Railway. The Great Northern and the Northern Pacific were watching each other from Spokane to Portland and to avoid trou ble and make It easier for both, both roads built that line. It was made for them and for Portland. It is for you people In Portland to say what use you will make of it. "We want to develop some feeders for it. We are doing so. Our friends from down South want to come now and share with us. It is a game, but it Is one in which we can always play a return match. It will be a cold, cold day and very, very late In the after noon when we are not able to fly our own flag. "We are not (rolnar down to Califor nia. We leave that to you fellows." and Mr. Hill pointedly spoke to Mr. Cotton, who sat smiling. He went on: "But we want ard we intend to have a bit of Oregon. The North Bank is an Oregon institution. I know if I had a farm here I would make money. The land looked good at Salem, although I did not see any milk and honey. "I have a very warm appreciation of tne tonnage of the Willamette Valley. With a moderately good crop on the whole of the valley it could buy up the entire gold crop of the world. So, Cot ton, if that s the case, what Is the use of trying to keep us out? Where would you advise us to land? "We have shied clear of Aituras, Cal., although we had a small friend there we would like to help out. But the Oregon & Washington has been so good as to give us some assistance at Puget Sound, so we are going to help them here. No matter how heavy it is we will carry it out we base our rates on the ton. "Let me again call attention to the railroad terminals. In three years at the most you will feel the congestion. I see no way out of it. une only pos sible way is to decentralize the traffic, that Is to find some way of sending it around the cities. The bulk of business Is grown so large it can't be moved, last year we blamed the swltcnmens striite. uut that cut no figure for more than two weeks; It was the general congestion that was the matter. We simply could not get the stuff througn. "Mow. don't lose sight of your inter ests. Don't bottle up yourselves so you can't get out. This is a serious matter for you and your Duraen is suing i u heavy enough, anyway. speaking OI ine n inwueuo ytiiiny, Mr. Cotton, after Joking with Mr. Hill, laid especial emphasis on the absolute necessity of Irrigation and drainage in the Willamette Valley. He specially drew -a-. Hill's attention to the work. He agreed with Mr. Hill regarding the tremendous acreage of the valley and added that he hoped to see the day when there would be enough valley traffic to double-track the North Bank and every road leading East. He said the Hill roads were going to be of great advantage to Oregon. He then made a plea for a little laxity in railroad legislation, saying he believed there ought to be a closed season for railroads. He then assurea nis auditors that in opposing Mr. Hill it was a matter of policy and not a personal matter in any way, for he had the highest regard for Mr. Hill. Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific felicitated Oregon and commented upon the fact that the entire Hill party had been enumerated by census enumerators in Spokane, Vancouver, B. C, Billings, Mont, Seat tle, Tacoma, and now they would be pleased to be counted in jr-oriianc An elaborate repast was spread by order of Mr. Wilcox, the tables being charmingly decorated with red and white roses in great banks. A foun tain played In the center of the 'V" shaped tables and a generous bed of roses was at the foot. In addition to Mr. Hill, the guests were: Louis W.

Who Now Are Citizens of the United States. CHRISTIAN! A, May 5.. King Haakon VII and Queen Maud were the first to greet Theodore Roosevelt on his arrivaj here today. The streets of Christiania were bright with decorations end almost everyone is wearing an American flag. A Roosevelt march, Roosevelt photographs and com pilations of Roosevelt's sayings are being sold in the shops and on the highways.

' More than 200 emi nent personages, including the Premier and Cabinet Ministers, political leaders, literary people and financiers, were pres ent, I When the dinner had advanced to the fourth course the King arose and all the guests stood. 'It is with great pleasure," said the King, "that I welcome you, Mr. and Mrs1. Roosevelt, in the name of the Queen and myself and extend to you our hospitality. I do not speak in my own name alone, but am convinced that It Is In the name of all Norwegians. ' The reception given you today will convince you of the truth. of my words. "I drink a toast to the United States and I drink a toast to the health of Mr. and Mrs. " Roosevelt." The company remained standing while the ex-President responded. "It is a particular pleasure for me to be In Norway," he said, "and I have been deeply impressed with my generous reception. Norwegians have made such good citizens in tne United States that I once remarked to a group of traveling Norwegians that I rather grudged it that they had left anybody in Norway. "The Norwegians in America love the land of their birth and they love the country of their adoption. A man pan love his wife all the better if he loves his mother a great deal." Colonel Roosevelt touched on Norse lit erature and spoke of his pleasure when, as President, he was able to cable his good wishes to a new Norwegian King bearing the old name of Haakon. The King and Queen showed Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt the little Prince Olaf this afternoon and the Colonel, who had been telling- anecdotes about Seth Bul lock, said, "I wish Seth Bullock were here to see your email Olaf; he would be delighted with him." While Mr. Roosevelt was in his room, arranging his papers and dictating let ters, the King came in quite informally and asked, "Wouldn't you like to have a cup of tea?" "By George, I would," replied the Colonel. The King rang and for more than an hour the two sat drinking tea and talk ing. Colonel Roosevelt told . of some of his ranch experiences and of an effective speech he made in a mining camp against free silver, while Seth Bullock sat on a platform behind him. He spoke an hour and not a man Interrupted him. Every one in the house seemingly- was deeply interested. At the conclusion of the speech he said to one of his ranching friends, "I think I held the audience pretty well." "Held the audience well," exclaimed his friend, "Seth Bullock, with a six-shooter on each hip, watching the crowd, had given the tip that he would penetrate the first man who peeped."

L0NGERA CHILD A Word to' Parents oo the Dan gers of Bloodlessnesa That Threaten Daughters to ' Their "Teens." Perhaps yon have already noticed that yonr daughter in her "teens" has de veloped a fitful temper, is restless and excitable. In that case remember that she is growing into womanhood, and that a great responsibility rests upon you, as parents. If your daughter is pale, complains of weakness and depression, feels "tired out" after a little exertion. If she tells of headaches and backaches, do not disre gard these symptoms. Your daughter needs help,-- for she is anasmlc that is bloodless. You should lose no time in procuring Dr. Williams' Pink Pills; otherwise her unhealthy girlhood is bound to lead to unhealthy womanhood. Miss Thekla Holland, of No. 1162 At lantic avenue, Long Beach, Cal., says: "A few years ago I became very antemic, although I had always been weak and sickly. We moved to Califor nia during my sickness and I was eo thin and pale that people thought I had con sumption. I was ran down, weak and unable to stand any exertion. I was short of breath, bad no ambition and was always tired. I was nervous and my Bleep was broken. I had to be careful what I ate and my stomach was out of order. My heart also troubled me a' great deal. I was able to go to school only about three months out of the nine and one year was out of school entirely. I was often confined to bed for two or three weeks. "A friend recommended the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and after a fair trial I began to get better. I kept on us ing the pills until I was completely cured. I now feel strong and well and am able to stand any exertion. 1 recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because they cured me after three years of sickness and alter my doctor bad said he could not help me." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and fevers, chlorosis or green sickness and reneral debility because of their power to Suild up and purify the blood. Our new booklet, "Diseases of the Blood," will give you much valuable information about the above diseases and will be sent free upon request.

Responding. Mr. Bulkeley said If the Idaho Senator's maps were lost he had a right to complain, and concerning Mr. Heyburn, said, "his very presence on the floor is apt to cause a little amusement." "No Senator on this floor is entitled to make a remark so full of intentional Insult as that spoken by the Senator from Connecticut," said Heyburn. "The rules provide protection against such treat ment." The Vice-President held the remark of the Connecticut Senator to be in dis paragement of his Idaho colleague. CENSUS TAKERS PROTEST EXUMEIUTORS DENY HAVING SLIGHTED WORK OF COUNT. Secretary Mosessohn Tabes Excep tion to Supervisor Beach's - Dec laration Lack of Information: Irritated beyond endurance a num ber of. the census bureau-enumerators yesterday said they proposed organiz ing to make an effort to correct the impression that they had scamped their work. Almost weeping, several gathered in the census office .yester day and made protest for being classed as inefficient. They assert their work was well per formed and insist that the yellow slips turned in by the volunteer army Sat urday were mainly composed of dupli cates and bogus descriptions. Super visor Beach promises to produce 20,000 slips representing duplicated names, names fraudulently given and those otherwise unavailable. "Supervisor Beach says a large num ber of slips were thrown out because they had no address on," said Secre tary!. Mosessohn, of the Chamber of Commerce. "I turned in a number such myself prior to the day the unofficial count was made. That was - because each. slip was marked in the space for the address 'only to be filled in by enumerator, or special agent." "I am confident that many blanks with just names on are not fraudulent, but the result of mistakes." Supervisor Beach yesterday said that checking up of the slips did not show any great laxity on the part of the enumerators, but he believed. In gen eral, the volunteers had been Imposed upon. He said that in one Instance one man had given In his name six times.
