A. L, Tetu, general manager of the
Realty Associates, who went East last
June, returned to Portland yesterday,
having visited the principal cities in
the country and traveled 28.000 miles.
"No city In the country is so indi

land." said Mr. Tetu last night, "and
no Western state Is so well known as
Oregon. I waa on the trains a great
deal, and wherever I went I heard this
city and state discussed. The future
of this country Is bound to be immense;
we cannot get away from It."
Mr. Tetu will leave tonight for San
Francisco, and will go East again from
there, but will return to Portland by

MILWAUKEE MAT- ENTER

K. M. Calkins, Traffic Manager, De

Here Is Considered.
Entrance of the Milwaukee road into
Portland over the tracks of the North
Coast from Marengo to the SDake River
and thence over the O. R. & N. lines
westward, as suggested Monday by Julius
Kruttschnitt, of the Harriman system, is
very probable said R. M. Calkins and
George W. Hlbbard, tralTlc manager and
assistant general passenger agent, re
spectively of the Chicago Milwaukee &
Puget Sound Railway, who rrived M
Portland from Seattle last night.
"The tendency among railroads every
where," said Mr. Calkins, "is to econo
mize. Where one set of rails will do
tpr two or more roads, there is- no use
in expending useless money for parallel
trackage.
"The money that might be spent in thia
direction could be used in building feeders
and developing the country so that all
the roads might benefit.
"All that stands' in the way of an ar
rangement with the Harriman lines
whereby we can enter Portland from

age of other roads than any railroad In
the country, with the possible exception
of the Pennsylvania. But in this instance
I believe we could divert from that estab
lished policy, as we are doing In tha
construction of the Grays Harbor line,
which we are building jointly with
the Oregon & Washington.
"It is certain that the Milwaukee will
enter Portland. Just how soon. I don't
think anyone knows Our directors did
not build that great road to the Coast for
the mera purpose of entering Tacoma and
Seattle with another great city so near.
They are not equipping the finest offica
on the Coast for a mere ornament. Tho
local office will be used to care for local
business. All that stands in the way of
Immediate further expenditures is tho
tight money market. Capital is fearful oj
investing in railroads with public senti
ment directed so sharply against it." ''
The Milwaukee officials were met upon
arrival by- James R. Veitch, district
freight agent here. They will remain foe
a few days in Portland.
