artistic conservatloa of lanfutfe la ac
complished without the slightest Inti
mation of discourtesy, for Mr. Harrlman
Is aa plain and unconventional as the
clothe he wears, and as eaay to ap
proach as a politician engaged In
rounding up votes. Some of Mr. Har
rlmen'a hired men of varying degrees
of Importance devote much time to the
elucidation of problems In which the
Interviewer Is not Interested. In the ap
parent belief that he will forget the
ones on which he actually seeks en
lightenment. But Mr. Harrlman ha a
different policy. Words may not be
worth It each while he 1 telling a
pear gtorr. but they are worth o much
In other directions that he seldom
wastes them In evasion when it la pos
alble to give a direct anawer.
While the course of the stock mar
ket and the money market offers In
disputable evidence that the "personal
equation" Is more In evidence In the
Harrlman properties than any other
railroad ayatem In existence, the fact
has never disturbed the Innate modesty
of the man whose Individuality la
stamped on every move that Is made In
connection with the vast system which
bears his name. He discourages,
wherever possible, any attempt to give
him Individual credit for the stu
pendous work he has accomplished dur
ing the past ten years.
Projects In Pacific Northwest.
For the Faclfic Northwest Mr. Har
ilman has many projects under con
rlderation. These projects Involve the
expenditure of vast sums of money
and details of the expenditure and
lt apportionment have not yet been
worked out. The most Important pro-J'-i
ts in wl.'.ch Portland and Oregon
ar Interested, the Tillamook line
and the line to Central Oregon, are
at the head of the list and Mr. .Harrl
man announces that these lines and
the Puget Sound extension will be
pushod to completion at once.
The Coos Bay line is a certainty
some time in the future, and a possi
bility If not a probability In the near
future. The Natron cut-off, which Is
to take the place of the recent haul
ever the bad grades south of Eugene,
will undoubtedly take precedence over
the Cooa Bsy line unless the Cooa By
people can mil- a satisfactory show
ing as to revenue, from a road Into
that port. Another expensive cut-off
to avoid grades Is now under way be
tween Huntington and Lewlston, but
Its early completion will depend en
tirely on the stats of the" money mar
ket, although work now in progress
will not be abandoned
Improvements In Portland.
Other plans involving new docks In
Portland. Improvement In the steam
ship service, removal of the Fourth
street line, a new bridge and smaller
enterprises ara also under considera
tion but have not yet reached a stairs
where the railroad king cared to dis
cuss them.
"Returning confidence of the people,
and a growing disposition to co-operate
with the railroads." said Mr. Harrlman,
"are helping matters Quite materially at
this time, and If the Improvement con
tinues we will soon be able to aeoure the
funds seeded for oarrying out a num
ber of projects which would have been
well under way before this, had It not
been for the unfortunate financial
trouble last FalL This growing senti
ment, which recognizes a mutuality of
Interests between the railroads and
the pegple. Is certain to bring good
results, and It is our Intention to do
whatever we can to supply the legiti
mate demands for transportation facil
ities." Mr. Harrl man's special arrived at
Koseburg about 6:30 this morning, and
In accordance wKh an Invitation, the
Koseburg and Warshfield committees
came on board the train, which Imme
diately pulled out. The Roseburg dele
gation consisted of J. If. Booth, Dr.
Beely, Win. Cardwcll. L. Wimberly, and
J. p. Zurcber, and the commercial in
terests of Marshfleld were represented
by J. . E. Oren, William Grimes, and
Dr. Mengus- After breakfaat had
been served the visitors, Mr. Harrlman
talked freely with the Coos Bay peo
ple regarding the proposed road. He
assured them that the road would
eventually be constructed, but ques
tioned the advisability of building it
at this time, as he regarded it more as
a future traffic proposition than one

Demands 4 Per Cent Guarantee).
The Coos Bay men Insisted that their
proposition was entitled to the same con
sideration that was given the Tillamook
road, but Mr. Harrlman assured them
that the latter had been taken up first on
account of the smaller outlay Involved.
He asked for definite figures on the
amount of business that could be secured
by a railroad, and aa the delegation did

not have them he promised to send a rep
resentative to Coos Bay to Investigate
the matter. He closed the discussion by
stating plainly that whenever the Coos
Bay people could guarantee a traffic that
would pay 4 per cent on the Investment
he would at once reoommend the con
struction of the road. This proposition
was well received by the Coos Bay men,
and they express their ability to meet the
demands made by Mr. Harrlman.
Much of the railroad king's skepticism'
regarding tmifledlate returns from the
Coos Bay line 'was based on the belief
that lumber market conditions at the
present time would not warrant the addi
tional output that later on might be ab
sorbed from the milla on the bay without
Interfering with the business elsewhere.
As the visit of the Roseburg delegation
was of a complimentary nature only, the
vlsltora left the train before reaching
Eugene, returning to their homes on the
early train from Portland. The Coos Bay
people continued their trip to Eugene.
At Eugene Mr. Harrlman was given a
decidedly cordial welcome, the Commer
cial Club boosters giving the railroad
party an automobile ride around the city
and to the heights west of the city.
A few miles south of Eugene the Shrln
ers special from Portland was met. and
It Is doubtful If the railroad king ever
before received such an uproarious rous
ing greeting as was given him by the
Bhrtners. A band of red fei brethren,
headed by W. C. Bristol, swarmed aboard
Mr. Harrlman'a car and picked him up
bodily and coaxed, pushed and carried him
to the ground, where he was decorated
with a fes loaned by B. G. Whitehousa,
and then brought his overworked arm
Into play with a cordial handshake which
made him a prime favorite with all of
the Bhrlners. They fairly split the air
with rousing cheers for the railroad king,
and the overflow of enthusiasm was suf
ficient to drag General Manager O'Brien
and W. W. Cotton from the car, Mr.
O'Brien being carried half the length of
the train on the shoulders of the crowd.
When Mr. Harrlman finally caught his
breath and climbed back to the rear plat
form of his car be proposed three cheers
for Mr. O'Brien, and the response was
so gratifying that the modest local, head
of the Harrlman system blushed like a
schoolgirl.
Receptions at Albany and Salem.
Albany turned out a large delegation, all
wealing Harrlman badges, and if there
was anyone there from the toddling babe
to the oldest Inhabitant who failed to shake
the band of the greatest railroad man of
the age, It was not the fault of E. HA
Harrlman, for he was there with the
smile that would not coma off, and seemed
glad that he came. From Albany the
train made a quick run to Salem, where
Mayor Rodgers and a number of promi
nent cltlxena met the party and took them
for an automobile ride. The Journey was
resumed at 2:46 and at 4:30 o'clock the
train pulled into Portland.
HARR1MAK GUEST AT BANQUET
Declares War Between Himself, and
J. J. Hill Is at End.
That the war is over between E. H.
Harrlman and James J. Hill was stated
In so many words by the Union Pacific
magnate last night at a reception given
him at the Commercial Club. Rivalry for
business will still go on. he said, but they
will meet hereafter as neighbors. Mr.
Harrlman regretted that he cannot be
here to Join In the Jollification to be held
upon the opening of the North Bank road.
That all the Harrlman lines projected
In this state will go forward to com
pletion Just as soon as practicable was
the statement he made to the assembled
business men that gladdened the hearts
of everyone present. He assured his audi
ence that the outlook for railroad building
in this country is excellent and the work
just ordered resumed on the Oregon llnee
will be followed with resumption on other
delayed projects until ail shall have bean
completed.
"We are not playing fast and loose with
Oregon." said Mr. Harriman. "We mean
to do what we Bay and we will carry out
every project in this state Just as soon
as possible."
Mr. Harrlman was Introduced to about
100 representative business men of the city
In the Commercial Club parlors last night
end after meeting those present In a
friendly, neighborly way, was presented
by C. W. Hodson. president of the club,
who said:
"I want to Introduce to you a non
resident Oregonlan. Mr. Harriman now
lives in Oregon in the Summer. He is a
much loved and much abused man, as
you know. I trust that he will have some
thing to say to you that will please us
all."
Mr. Harriman's Address.
1 have been asked If we were going
to get off of Fourth street," said Mr.
Harrlman. "I do not know that we con
template getting off of Jfourth street al
together but I can say this, that a year
ago the directors of the Union Faclllo
authorised the construction of another
line to relieve Fourth street. ,
"But some of your local bankers
locked up the money so fast that we
could not get enough to prosecute that
work. I do not aay this against your
bankers here any more than against
bankers elsewhere. You all know what
conditions were all over the country
last Fall.
"The authority to do the work still
exists and as soon as the finances are
arranged the work will go on and It
is so with all .the projects undertaken
In this state.
"We find ourselves In far better shape
after the senseless money panio of
last Fall than might have beea ex-
ni

pected and the past year leaves us
with hardly a scratch. We are In a
position now to go ahead and complete
the work laid out, and will do so.
"I like to be here aa an Oregonlan,
and I would be pleased to remain here
to Iiavk a lolllhi
new railroad is completed, and I would
like to Join in it as well as anyone.
Due to Misunderstanding.
"We have never done anything to keep
our Northern neighbors out and we will
not do so. Incidents In the past were
due more than anything else to a mis
understanding. We thought we had an
agreement ,wlth our Northern- neighbors
that we believed was violated. That has
all been smoothed out now and there
are no hard feelings.
We are Just as much Interested as
any one In developing this country and
in helping others develop It. for what
helps the country helps us who are in
terested here. We welcome other rail
roads in helping this state grow.
"Our stay in Oregon this Bummer has
been very pleasant. . When we came we
had an Idea that the boys would shoot
all the deer and bears and catch all the
fish, but I guess the boys are better rail
road men than hunters. In going away
we feel better for next year's work, -and
I aasure you I am just as glad to be
here and meet you as you are to meet
me."
Mr. Harrlman showed that he meant
what he said In regard to animosity be
tween his system and the Hill inter
ests being at an end, for he said late?
that while all rivalry between the two
systems la not over. In a business way,
they will be more neighborly hereafter
and less vindictive.
Bronzed snd hearty from his sojourn
on Pelican Bay, the "Wizard of the
Pacific" says the rest at his Summer
lodge on the Klamath Lakes has done
him a great deal of good. He feels
better than for a year, he told those
who greeted him last night.
"I did not do any hunting-," he said,
"except to go out and efioot a few
ducks. I shot at a tomato can thrown
Into the air and, strange to say. I
made a hole In it. The boys went
out hunting and had pretty good luck.
I fished some, but the fish were not
so large as those we caught last year.
The big ones did not get away, the
largest one welglng nine pounds. Last
year we got some 15-pound fish."
Mr. Harrlman Is not yet ready to an
nounce what route will be followed by
the line to be built IrAo Central Oregon.
In response to a question last night, ha
said:
"We are keeping that to ourselves."
. Mr. Harriman was taken about the
city upon his arrival In an automobile,
prominent local officials of the Southern
Pacific and O. R. & N. accompanying
him. He expressed himself as much
pleased with the growth of the city since
the past year and commented upon the
many new buildings under way.
At 6 o'clock tur dined at the Arlington
Club. Those present were El H. Harrl
man, W. W. Cotton, J. P. O'Brien, Dr.
K. A. J. Mackenzie, John Mulr. B. S.
Josselyn, F. S, Stanley and Alfred Hol
man. From the Arlington Club the party
went directly to the reception at the
Commercial Club.
That function was Informal. Mr. Har
rlman desired that It be so. as he wanted
to meet a number of business men of
the city that their co-operation might be
enlisted In the development of the state.
He shook hands warmly with all pres
ent, W. W. Cetton, J. P. O'Brien, W. D.
Fenton, William McMurray and others
introducing those in attendance to the
Union Pacific magnate.
Meets Old Japanese Guide.
A pleasant incident of the reception
was the attendance of B. K. Sugulra,
the representative of a Japanese firm
of this city, who acted as guide for
Mr. Harriman and his party when he
toured Japan a few years ago. Mr.
Harriman remembered him very well
and shook hands with him and talked
at some length about Sugulra's war

experiences, he having been captain of
infantry In the Russian-Japanese war.

ROAD DEPEVDS OX TRAFFIC
Harrlman Will Build to Coos Bay If
Business Pays 4 Per Cent.
MARSH FIELD, Or., Sept. 6. Special.)
The Coos Bay people were much en
couraged this evening In receiving a
telegram from the committee sent from
here to Roseburg to confer with J. ti
Harrlman regarding the construction of
the DrainrCoos Bay line. The committee
slated that Mr. Harriman would build
the road if business seemed to warrant
a paying investment.
The committee was composed of Dr. E.
Mlngus, J. E. Oren, of the Smith Lumber
Company, and William Grimes.
The text of the telegram sent from
Euirene by the committee follows:
"By special invitation we traveled on B.
H. Harrlman s special train irom K.ose-bure-
here. We met Messrs. Harrlman
Calvin and O'Brien Individually and had
very interesting talks with them.
"Mr. Harriman agreed to send a spe
cial representative to Coos Bay to in
vestigate the resources as to whether
there is sufficient traffic to insure 4 per
cent interest on the cost of construction,
and If so will recommend the construction
of the railroad to Coos. Bay immediately.
"Mr. Harrlman stated to Governor
Chamberlain that the line would cost
K.00.000. 4 ner cent Interest would mean
net income of $130,000 and it is held here

Acting on the Invitation, the Salem
men called Mr. Harrlman's attention
to the need of a downtown passenger
depot, better facilities for handling
freight, and other matters. Mr. Har
riman replied: "These towns all look
alike to me. They all have their needs
and ' demands Just ones, I have no
doubt and we want to do the best
we can with all of them, but, of course,
we can't meet all the demands that are

A half dozen automobiles, carrying
