THE MORNING. OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, - JUNE 9, 1910. WESTERN PACIFIC GETS H. M. Freight and Passenger Agent of North Bank to Go to San Francisco. RESIGNS PRESENT OFFICE Mn Who learned Railroad Busi ness in Pacific . Northwest Will Cast Interests With Gould System In , South. H. M. Adams, general freight and passenger agent of the Spokane. Port land A. Seattle Railway. Oregon Elec tric Railway and United Railways, yes terday, announced his resignation from those positions to accept the post of general freight agent of the Western Pacific. Mr. Adams will continue In his present position until July 1. when he will go to, San Francisco to assume his new duties. Mr. Adams Is retiring from the Port land railroad world against the sincere wishes of his superiors, and has been actuated, it is admitted, by the broader opportunities offered by the transcon tinental system that has lately opened service to San FTancisco. The Western Pacific Is that part of the Gould system extending from. Salt Lake to San Fran cisco, and Mr. Adams will have super vision over the freight department cov ering the territory served at and be tween those cities. Mr. Adams' suc cessor in Portland has not yet been selected. Learned Work in Northwest. Mr. Adams has been with the Spok ane, Portland & Seattle Railroad in his present capacity since It began opera tions, December 1, 1907. Prior to that time he was for 18 months assistant traffic manager of the Great Northern, with headquarters In Seattle. From Way. 1902, to June, 1905. he was as sistant general freight agent of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany in Portland, and for four years prior to that time was general agent for the latter company at Spokane. In these positions Mr. Adams gained a thorough knowledge of both the pas senger and freight departments of the railroad business, and his ability as an organiser of these departments has been commented upon favorably since the North Bank route began Its opera tions. His success in this particular, It is believed, was one of the factors that actuated the heads of the Gould system in tendering him the position of general freight agent in San Fran cisco. The position was offered to Mr. Adams only a short time ago. and last week he made a hurried trip to San Francisco, where the matter was taken tip with officers of the road. Chief Regrets Loss of Adams. Mr. Adams was appointed only very recently to the positions of general freight and passenger agent of the Ore gon Electric and United Railways, these positions having been -opened- by the changes that occurred in the offices of the roads following the purchase of them by the Hill Interests. Speaking of Mr. Adams' resignation, yesterday. President George B. French, of the Spokane, Portland &' Seattle Railroad, said: "I sincerely regret that Mr. Adams lias decided to leave us, and this regret I am sure Is shared by all of the offi cers and employes of the Spokane .Port land & Seattle Railroad. "We all hold Mr. Adams in the high est esteem, both from an official and personal standpoint. His going will not only be a distinct loss to our railroad Interests, but will be felt elsewhere. Portland cannot afford to lose citizens of the caliber of Mr. Adams. The mat ter of his successor has not yet been considered."

Delegation in Congress Asked to Aid Them in Securing Route for Boats so They Can Market Crops. Contending that through the inade quacy of transportation on the Willamette River above New berg they ere unable to handle their produce, , farmers In that section have appealed to the Oregon dele gation in Congress to offer some means of relief. - A mass meeting of the people from Wheatland, Hopewell and Lincoln will be held at Wheatland Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock, when some united action will be taken. Some of the larger farms are many miles from the railroad, making it Impossible to handle the large fruit products with any profit to the grower. It is said that the expenditure of a few thousands of dollars would enable steam ers to reach the heart of a rich fruit producing section which is now practi cally isolated. The following telegram, written by Richard Chilcott, who is one of the largest farmowners In the section, indi cates the attitude of the people : "Portland, Or., June 8. "To Oregon's delegation in Congress, Washington, D. C. : "Through negligence, inertness and in competence, steamers - on Willamette River cannot now ply higher than New berg, which leaves hundreds of farmers between that point and Salem without any transportation facilities, with fruit and vegetable crops ready to market. Cannot an emergency bill be immediately passed by which a small appropriation can be made to relieve the situation and save numbers of people from ruin, or, falling that, if the Government will give the use of its equipment, volunteers among the farmers Interested, who will be of greater service than regular crews to perform the work, will open the river to navigation.

THEATER SITE SOUGHT KXjAW & KRLAXGEIt AGENTS HERE IN SEARCH. S. Benson Offers to Lease Ground, hut Pleads- Risk of Business Against Building House. Klaw & Erianger have announced that a new building site Is to be secured in Portland" for a handsome modern play house. Nothing has been accomplished toward securing such a site. Representatives of Klaw & Erianger were in Portland a week ago endeavoring to secure a suitable location. Mel Marx, of San Francisco, was in consultation with Coovert & Stapleton, attorneys for S. Benson, relative to securing the prop erty recently bought from John B. Yeon for $260,000. This is a half block at the southwest corner of Seventh and Oak streets, and has, been considered one of the finest available theater sites in Portland. Mr. Benson said last night that although overtures had been made for the property, nothing had been done and that the nego tiations with the theatrical people had come to an end. The proposal made by the Klaw & Er ianger agents was that Mr. Benson should build a theater on the property and give a lease on the site and building. This Mr. Benson refused to do. He offered to give a ground lease .at what was con sidered a suitable valuation, but this was not what thetheatrlcal people desired and the subject was dropped. Mr. Benson said that he was willing to build for most enterprises and lease, but that he would not do so for a theater, inasmuch as theatrical wars were likely at any time to send one - faction or the other to the wall, and in the event of his tenants being the ones who lost lie would have a building on his hands which he could not rent for other pur poses.
