Kallroad Developments "Waiting on
Expected Improvement in Money
Market Good Crops and
Better Times in Sight.
"It was not to acquire control of the
Baltimore & Ohio that we traded a
; part of our Southern Pacific stock to
: the Pennsylvania Railroad for a block
of Baltimore & Ohio stock." said A. L.
. Mohler, president of the Union Pacific
' and Oregon Short Line, who arrived in
: Portland on an official visit yesterday.
"That transaction was for the pur-
pose of complying, so far as it would
permit, with the decision of the Su
preme Court of the United States, that
the Union Pacific and the Southern
Pacific must dissolve.
"We could not afford to be partial to
the Baltimore & Ohio or to any other
line east of Chicago. Our relations
with the Pennsylvania and with the
New York Central are such that we
must remain entirely neutral. Our
.business with those roads is so ex
pensive that we cannot form alliances
with one of their competitors."
m Confidence Iff Expressed.
Mr. Mohler expressed confidence in
the.plan of the Attorney-General and
t the Federal courts of disposing of the
'remaining Southern Pacific stock held
"by the Union Pacific.
"It would have been financial suicide
tfor us to throw $126,000,000 worth ol
stock onto the open market." he said.
"'It would have "affected every security
' Jn the country, and demoralization
would have resulted. Speculators of a
; certain class were waiting for just
'such a condition."
There is little hope for further ex
pensive development in railroad work
;until the money market improves, says
;.Mr. Mohler.
' "We need money constantly for new
.equipment, new tracks, new buildings
and routine repairs," he said, "and the
; stockholders expect regular dividends.
! But money for Improvements no longer
! Is forthcoming. Capital is turned in
' other directions. However, I look for
hetter times. Crops are good and busi
: ness ought to Improve with the move-
ment of crops."
Mr. Mohler Is Hopeful.
i Mr. Mohler is hopeful that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission will grant
i the railroads the 5 per cent increase
! in freight rates that they have asked
i for and that shippers generally seem
! willing to pay. This will give them a
J substantial increase in revenue with
i which, it is hoped, some of the new
' work and extensions in various parts of
' the country can be made.
Despite the dull money market, the
; Union Pacific Is continuing its double
track work, with unabated activity. It
; has completed 760 miles of double track
i between Omaha and Ogden. Besides
' this, the road has made extensive
terminal improvements.
Another item of expenditure upon
which the Union Pacific is not making
any restrictions is that of safety ap
pliances. The Oregon Short Line is contemplat
ing some improvements in Idaho and
In other parts of the territory it serves,
mays Mr. Mohler.
Accompanying Mr. Mohler on his
present trip is Gerrlt Fort, passenger
traffic manager of the Union Pacific
and Oregon Short Line, who is here to
confer with O.-W. R. & N. traffic of
ficials' on the proposed time changes
that will go into effect next Sunday.
GRIFFITH WILL EAT BEAR
I'ress Club to Give Dinner for New
Head of Traction Company.
Hunters now are scouring they al
wsys scour the hills of Oregon and
"Washington for some nice, ripe bear
from which steaks are to be sliced off
and served at a big "bear steak din
ner" at the Press Club on the evening
of Tuesday, August Ei.
The occasion for the sacrifice of so
much bear meat is the desire to honor
Franklin T. Griffith, a member of the
club, who recently got a job as presi
dent of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company. Mr. Griffith is ex
pected to do most of the talking at
this feast, but there will be others,
notably among them F. W. Hild, gen
eral manager of the company, who will
tell in picture and in narrative what
the company is doing in the way of de
veloping the country In and about Port,

Governor's Cup, Individual Cham

laurels at other rifle meets, are en
tered. Among them is Lieutenant Stevens,
of Company B. Third Infantry, of Port

Interests All Consider Buying
Line The Dalles Business
Makes Big Gain.
Seattle and San Francisco capital
ists have Interested themselves in The
Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation
Company's property with a view to ac
quiring it and two Portland concerns
have made advances toward negotia
tions, but it is said that no bargain has
been struck with any. Under a Feder
al statute that becomes effective in
July, 1914. the Spokane. Portland &
Seattle Railroad must sever the steam
boat line from its holdings and for
that Teason the steamers are In the
market.
The steamers Bailey Gatzert. Dalles
City and Capitol City are included In
the fleet. The. Gatzert and Dalles City
are in service between Portland and
The Dalles; while the Capitol City is
not in operation. In the event the
vessels are sold to one of the firms now
considering their acquisition the trans
action must be on a cash basis, as
the company would not be permitted
under law to have any interest in the
vessels after next July, so a mortgage
could not be executed in Its favor and
only a partial payment made in cash.
The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navi
gation Company also has land that Is
valued at approximately $40,000 and
which lies along the Middle Columbia
River. The railroad may arrange to
hold that permanently, simply dispos
rng of the three steamers and other
equipment, together with good will of
the business.
Because of the 1915 fair at San Fran
cisco the Bailey Gatzert and Dalles City
were sought by steamboatmen who con
templated running them to points near
San Francisco, but others considering
taking over the fleet would continue
to operate them on the present route.
The Bailey Gatzert left yesterday
morning with 330 passengers, which Is
the largest list she has carried on a
week-day trip to The Dalles. For the
season to date there have been more
persons to travel on the steamers than
during the same period last year and
with continued pleasant weather there
promises to be a new record established
lor tne bummer season.
M'CORMICIi FLEET GAINING
More Than 11,0 00,0 00 Feet of Lum
ber Goes Monthly.
On a conservative estimate the Mc
Cormlck fleet of steam schooners Is
handling over 11,000,000 feet of lumber
from the Columbia to California ports
monthly and this in the face of news
from San Francisco that 18 vessels of
that type are being laid up owing to
slack business.
Charles R. McCormick. head of the
company bearing his name, is here for
a week's visit and says that 75 per
cent of the lumber taken down the
coast by the McCormick steamers finds
its way into Southern California, the
remainder being discharged at San
Francisco. With mnro lnnnArtnn
feet annually being moved by the one
line it woura moicate t n :t r a n o i

Ing. Mr. McCormick savs that th ki-
gest surprise of the year has been the
gains In passenger travel, as hundreds
re lumea away at san Francisco in

the two blocks could be purchased as

assessed valuation is $113,740 and the

but Mr. Reld held out for $400,000. The

It is alleged that an Intoxicated
woman was taken from the steamer
Sunday afternoon by Patrolman Grlsim
and Engineer C. E. Gilllland, of the
harbor patrol force, and that the mas
ter displayed indications of having
been drinking. Captain Walker said
the woman and a man, said to be
her husband, hired the steamer for
two nours Saturday night and rep
resented that six persons would
make a trip to Ross Island, while only
the two appeared. On the return the
steamer docked at East Washington
street and the couple is said to have
remained aboard all night, the husband
leaving Sunday noon. Captain Walker
has entered a general denial to the
accusations. His engineer will be
called to testify Friday.
