This project now Is foremost 'n minds of the Hill officials and win be taken tip first. Although the financial altuatlon recently ha not nco"';: fine to railroad development. Mr. inn believes that the United Railways enter prise can be taken up and completed within the next few years. He was arreatly pleased with his trip yesterday afternoon and admitted that he found agricultural conditions in the Tualatin Valley far superior to what he had an ticipated.

The special car was stopped at several points along the line to allow Mr. Hill ad Mr. Gray to set out and Inspect the growing crops, examine the soil and In quire of persons whom they met of the general situation. The United Hallways now is built and In operation to Hanks Station, five miles east of the town of Banks. Grading has been completed about a mile beyond the station. -No tracks have been laid on this grade, however. The line has been urveyed all the way to Tillamook Bar Brad terminal property has been secured at Bay City, which la to be the -western terminus of the road. The plans also provide for the extension of the line to TUIaroock City and some terminal grounds have been secured there. When John F. Steven, et-presldent of the lo ral Hill system, returned from the East arly tn the year, he announced that the Tillamook extension as well as that of the Oregon Electric to Eugene would be completed before the end of the present year. Since then, however. Mr. Ptevens leaving and the constantly changing; financial situation have cauaed a tempor ary suspension of activity and no definite ten have been taken recently to push either the United Railways or the Ore jron Electric beyond their present re spective termini. We expect that Mr. Gray soon wyi be ready to do something on the Tilla mook line." said Mr. Hill. "He has been given full charge of the work out here, and when be becomes thoroughly .-n,ualnteJ with the situation he may deride to make the extension to the ocean ven before we now anticipate It can be done. -The Tillamook line will be complet ed first. Then we hope to take up ac tivity on the Oregon Electric from Salem to Eugene. No other new work t. planned for Oregon right now. We will build the Oregon Trunk to Bend as rapidly as possible, but further than that we have no definite plana. ' Some day a road will be built across the state from the eastern border to connect with the lines In the Willam ette Valley. I don't know whether we ever will build that Una or not. Some body will have to build It- The coun try 1 growing up so now that It will demand It In t:nw." If Mr. Hill s plana are carried out a union paseng?r station never will be built tn Portland. The Hill roads will put np a depot of their own. "We are not greatly worried about the terminal altuatlon here." said Mr. Hill. "While we have no passenger station now. we are pretty well taken are of at present, and are ao situated that we can Improve upon our situation whenever we want to." . Party's Itinerary Outlined.

Before leaving the city last night Mr. Hill and Mr. Gray were guests at ah Pre Club. . im.L COMPI-IJtKXTS PORTLAND TLailroad Orricials Srx-ak at Lunch con at Commercial Club That Oregon has furnished the Tnlted States with the proper standard tot commercial club work; that the movement of "back-to-tbe-land mast be made nation-wide to gain the re sults desired and that Oregon stands first tn attractiveness to the Eastern settler, were opinions expressed by Lout W. Hill president of the Great Northern Railway, at a luncheon In his honor at the Commercial Club yester day. Chairman Johnson, of the promo tion committee, was tostmater. There were present besides Portland basin men Carl It- Gray, president ef the North Bank Road; George B. Ji arris, chairman of the board of di rectors of the Chicago, Burlington tk Qulney Railway; James F. Patterson, rf St. Paul, and Harry Deonler, of J'ort Huron. Mich. "It la always a pleasure to come to Portland." said Mr. HUI after being Eatrodac a the sueat f honor. "Air visit here Is solely for the purpose of getting acquainted with Mr. Gray's Portland friend, for I am told that he Is the best friend-getter In the land, and I thought by coming out when he started that I would get la with the first ones he made and thus Incidentally pick up a few myself. I am proud to say that you have the best Commercial Club In the country. In fact. It Is so good that It has been copied all over the country and par ticularly In St- Paul, where the busi ness men examined every system to secure the best. "Here In Portland you are all for Ore gon and It Is the right spirit. We must get the people to go to the land if we expect to have a continuation of our present prosperity. -We are going to send lecturers to Europe next year and during the com ing Winter. They will be supplied with moving pictures. Illustrations and facts pertaining to the country upon our line. We bellve that by traveling through Norway. Sweden. Ienmark and the British Isles, we shall Induce many peo ple from those countries to come West. Pictures of your fleam plows, your combination harvesters snd threshers and the Immense fields of grain will Interest these people. To create Inter est Is the first step toward getting them to move." Chairman Harris of the Burlington system was Introduced by Harvey Beckwith. president of the Commercial Club. Mr. Harris spoke briefly of the remarkable progress of transportation In this country. "I am In favor of personal contact when It comes to railway transporta tion." said C. R. Gray, newly chosen president of the North Bank. "Consul tation and the personal discussion will do more to bring the people and the railway closer together than anythlrwr else. It Is a fundamental fact that the prosperity of a state or city Is based upon production. "The Rock Island sent a number of Its expert Into Iowa and by asking the farmers to bring the best sample of their seed corn to the car to be tested, found that 60 per cent of It would not germinate. That Is, half of It never grew and It would have been bet ter If It had been fed to the hogs. In Missouri It wss found to be even worse. "They were poor farmers because they did the wrong: thing. Now the Frisco road resolved to Invite the state college of agriculture to send a number of professors to St. Louis to give lec tures upon the science of farming or upon some feature of farm labor or production. The Idea was suggested by one of the bright boys In the office and I permitted him to take a room on the second floor of our building. One hundred chairs were placed and a notice In the dally newspapers asking for re quests for tickets to gain admission. The first day's mall called for i2S tickets and by night another 400 were requested. We concluded to hire the T. M. C. A. and from there we hired the-largest hall In town and entertained 3000 people and turned as many away. This I believe to be the best rvldence of the desire of the people of the city to go back to the farm. "1 believe that similar conditions ex ist everywhere in the country. In Ore gon I believe that the opportunities are greater than In any other section of the United States. Before I came out here I gave the contemplated move a great deal of consideration, and It was my conclusion that this state and this country has a future which Is even greater than any one living today can Imagine."

Smith, motor man, were In charge of the freight, while Conductor Hamilton and Motor- man Keller were tn charge of the pas senger train. Claim Agent Boynton. of the Portland Railway, LlgJit & rower Comoanr. said last night that Motor- man Smith was to blame for the acci dent, as his train was on the single track ctn the passenger train's time.

Is 1 miles from Portland. The crash came on a long curve. The motor car of the two-car passenger train was badly splintered and Claim Agent Boynton declares It Is a miracle more of the 20 passengers were not hurt, and that none of them were killed, me rear passenger car was telescoped by the other. The heavy steel motor, draw ing 1 empty graveloars, was not badly tniured by the Impact. Motorman Kel ler, of the passenger train. Jumped Just before the crash, and escaped un injured. There 1 no block system on the por tion of the line near Hogan. and in the absence of the signals motormen are compelled to rely wholly on their sched ules. Mr. Boynton said last nignt ne thought the block signal system might have averted the accident, but that even with these signals the motormen some time run by and the result Is an acci dent. "We have had only one other accident of this kind on the line." he said, "and that was when the motor man on a repair train ran on a passenger train's schedule.

AT THE THEATERS "SAMSON." A Drama ' In Four Acts, by Henri Bernstein, Presented at the Baker Theater. CAST.

Paul C Hurst Joseph. Louis Woodford Umbo Ronald Bradbury Anna-Marie Florence Roberta Francois d'Andellns. Lillian Andrews Elise Vernstte Berenda Fowlor Clotllds.... i Fay Balnter A PLAY of great power Is "Samson," as produced by the Baker company, this week. Even those people who dis pose of Henri Bernstein's plays by dub bing them melodramas and letting It go at that have never denied the Indom itable vitality that marks them. "Sam son" Is even more violent than "The Thief," and would seem more than any other of the half doxen dramas this author has given to the world to es tablish the claim made for him as the most dynamic of living French dram atists, t Maurice Brachard. Its hero. Is a cop per king of lowly origin, who, through prodigious speculation has amassed a fortune of S4.000.000 francs. He tias wed Anne-Marie, the daughter of the hen pecked old Marquis Honors d'Andellns and his scheming spouse. Anne-Marie has bestowed her affec tion upon a cynical blackguard, Jerome Le Govaln. a great favorite in Parisian society. Anne-Marie has been persuaded to ac company Jerome to a supper he gives several fast friends at a hotel of dubious reputation, and when Brachard enters his home at midnight he finds his wife gone. At S o'clock she re turns and refuses any explanation of her absence. It Is the next act, the third, in par ticular, that is the most powerful and nerve-racking. This act Is simply the enactment of Bracbard's diabol ical scheme for revenge. He has Invited Jerome to visit him for lunch In his hotel apartments, and. although the visitor is most anx ious to examine the, ticker, the copper king manages adroitly to prevent hlra leaving the house. He plays with him as the fabled cat played with her vic tim mouse, until his confidential agent, Deveaux. Is announced, whom he has bade sell, sell, sell copper until It has dropped 600 points, thereby making Je rome, who has Invested every cent in copper, a beggar. In this scene Mr. Roberts gives a forcible picture of the modern Samson, razing the temple of finance, and pull In? ruin onto his own shoulders as welL The Marquis and his wife now urge their daughter to forsake Brachard and to apply for a special dispensation for divorce, but she refuses. Now that the Paris that had Idolised him had turned on him, she, femlnlne-like, is drawn to the fallen hero. Too much praise cannot bo given the Baker production of the drama.

"The rich, creamy lather of this ehampoo removes every particle of dust and dandruff and when rinsed out, the hair dries quickly and evenly.
