RAILROAD HE!fp ALMOST ALL jDN
BUSINESS BENT..
A. Jj. Craig Attends Passenger Meet
in bS. G. Falton Joins in Dis
cussion of Coast Rates.
An exodus of prominent railroad officials
from Portland has been the feature of
the-week in traffic circles. It is exceed
ingly rare that so many of the prominent
railroad men whose headquarters are lo
cated In this city are absent at the same
time, and the circumstance has created
a great deal of comment along Third
street, where the railroad offices are lo
cated. Of the higher railroad officials General
Passenger Agent A. I. Craig, of the O. R.
& N., Is now in Chicago, attending a
meeting of the Transcontinental Passen
ger Association, and looking after other
details of railroad work. He has been ab
sent for a week, and is not expected to
return until July 1.
Somewhat of a coincidence Is the fact
that Allen Cameron. Asiatic representa
tive of the O. R. & N. and Portland &
Asiatic Steamship Line, came "West from
Chicago about the time Mr. Craig left

not come into personal touch with the
pioneers before for 20 years. He is look
ing forward to the reunion with great
pleasure, and anticipates having a very
pleasant time in recounting Oregon ecenes
and experiences of the days long past.
Among other things he Indulged In some
regrets, as he spent a little time with
Secretary Hlmes at pioneer headquarters
In the City Hall. Soon after his arrival he
established a sawmill on the Clackamas
and rafted the lumber, which was used
in the construction of some of the first
frame houses In Portland, for which he
received $150 per thousand. His conscience J
does not sting him for that, however; but
he is sorely .trpubled when Jie recalls the
fact that he was at one time offered 160
acres of land, now in the heart of
this city, for 5000 feet of lumber. Mr.
Simpson's conscience troubled him a good
many years ago becauee he let that op
portunity slip; but now, as he sees pres
ent conditions, with the future prospects
in store, after an absence of a score of
years, he is more sorely distressed in mind
than ever. Mr. SImpeon was born in
Tennessee in 1S18, and hence is now in
his 86th year, but aside from somewhat
impaired sight he is in good condition to
survive a good many years. Henceforth
he will make his home in Oregon, sd that
those still living who knew him years ago
will have the opportunity to renew their
acquaintance.
Another stout old octogenarian, F. X.
Matthicu, also in his SCth year, and who
came In 1842, registered yesterday. His
wonted health has returned, after a some
what discouraging period of Illness two
months ago, and he is now as genial as
ever.
The secretary would again urge upon
resident pioneers the, necessity of securlng
thelr badges before tlie last hour, so as
avoid the rush, which inevitably takes
piace, ween it is put off to the last:"
moment- Anyone who came to, or was1'
born in. Oregon prior to February 14, 1S59,
is ellgiblle to membership; A considerable
number of those already enrolled never
were members of the association before.

Meeting of Sons and Daughters.
At the second annual meeting of the
Sons and Daughters of the Oregon
Pioneers, held In the Courthouse last
night, the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: Judge M. C. George,
president;' Mrs. I. TV. Pratt, secretary;
Mrs. B. D. Hamilton, corresponding sec
retary and treasurer; board of directors.
Judge M. C. George, F. V. Holman. Judge
J. C. Moreland, John TV. Mlnto, Mesdames
Bessie M. Teal, L W Pratt, Henrietta
Falling, Louise Myrlck and Harriet B.
Killin.
The question regarding eligibility to
membership arose. Mr. Minto moved, that
as during the past year no effort had
been made to increase the membership
the board of directors be authorized to
appoint a committee of three to solicit
subscriptions during the coming year, and
that the charter membership list be kept
open and the membership fee of $1 be un
changed. The board of directors appointed
Mesdames E, D. Hamilton and C. N. Mc
Arthur and George H. Hlmes as mem
bers of tho soliciting committee.
Tho society will make an effort during
the coming year to increase its member
ship. At the present time but few of the
eons of pioneers are members, the greater
part of the membership being made up of
tho daughters of the old settlers.
Pacific Monthly for June.
Portland's pet periodical, the Pacific
Monthly, for June, Is a beautiful publica
tion from the printer's and illustrator's
standpoint, and the character of its read
ing matter maintains the standard eet
by it in the past. The special features are
"Springtime in the Willamette Aralley"
and "The Counties of tho Willamette,"
two articles descriptive of Oregon's gar
den spot. These articles are profusely
illustrated with halftones. The monthly Is
growing In circulation and influence, and
is a publication of which Portland may.
well feel proud.

There are a number of important ques
tions on the docket, and many of these
are of particular Interest to Coast points.
There have been under discussion for
some time propositions for the reduction
of freight tariffs to Coast points in line
with the efforts of freight agents to en
courage the movement of Eastern prod

GREAT RAJLROAD FOR CANADA.
Grand Tronic Is Now Certain to

NEW YORK. Jupe 13. Sir Charles" hir
ers Wilson, president of the Grand Trunk
Railroad, -who sailed for Europe t today,
says regarding the. proposed extension of
the Grand Trunk .Lines through the .Dp

cost $75,000,0007 is now practically assured
of success.. iThe enabling bill -which -will
be the charter of the new road, has passed
through all the committees of the Cana
dian Parliament, and Is about to be ad
vanced to the third reading In the House
of Commons at Ottawa.
.This charter provides for the organiza
tion of a s'eparate company to He known
as the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway with
a capital of 575,000,000. Under this char

Rocky Mountain sections It will take r Hall, and a campflre will, be held Thurs-
over nve years to complete the entire
project.
The new route will provide the shortest
line between London and the Orient,, and
it will also shorten the distance between
many United States points and the Orient,
as Port Simpson Is about 550 miles nearer
the ports of China, Vladivostok and Ma
nila than Vancouver or Seattle or Port
land, and about 600 miles nearer than San
Francisco, while It 13 no further away
than these ports from Hawaii, Australia
and other Important South Sea ports.
From Liverpool the distance" to Yokohama
will be 310 miles less than by the nearest
existing line, and 1202 miles less than via
New Tork and Vancouver. It will even
be shorter than by the trans-Siberian Railroad.
New Burlington Railroad 3Iap,
The Burlington has Issued a new rail
road map that is one of the most com
plete ever put forth by a railroad system.
There is something- significant in the fact
that this map shows the Great Northern

inence equal to that accorded the com
pany's own system. The Great Northern
Jlnes are shown In red, th Northern Pa
cific in green and tho Burlington in black.
Projected lines are shown In detail, one
of the most Important being the Great
Northern's proposed line to Oka, Mont.,
and the Burlington's extension from Bil

that point. The map Intended for wall
use shows all the roads west of Chicago,
