' (Oregon Journal.)
That James J. Hill is making ef
forts to construct a railroad line
from Portland to San Francisco was
mado certain in tho minds of rail
road men with tho arrival In Port
land several days ago of R. A. Gra
ham, who Is in the Rose City for the
purpose of Instituting suit to recover
possession of the Coos Bay, Roseburg
& Eastern Railway & Navigation
company, operating a line of road
about 30 miles long between Marsh
fleld and Myrtle Point.
Mr. Graham lives In New York
and was general manager of the Coos
Bay road in 1898, when J. D. Spreck
els' Bros. & Co. took forceful pos
session of the railway with a squad
of men armed with Winchester
rifles, to satisfy a private debt owing
the big sugar man by Graham,
amounting to $523,000, duo on a
promissory note.
Sold to Southern Pacific.
Tho road was placed In the hands
of a receiver and was finally sold
last year to the Southern Pacific rail
road. The receiver was discharged
last Jtuy and Mr. Graham at once
commenced to get busy to gain pos
session of tho road.
The nature of the action which he
will bring is to start a suit either in
the United States circuit court or in
the state circuit court at Marshfleld
for an accounting of the road's con
dition and for the restoration of pos
session of the line, with all of it"
corporate properties. Mr. Graham
and his attorneys have not decided
in which court to institute proceed
ings, tho only reason for taking the
suit into tho state courts would be
to have the action lie nearer the faefs
than they would in the federal court
in Portland.
Part of Transcontinental Line.
Graham contends In defense of
his action that he was never given a
day in court by Spreckles. Ho claims
that the big San Francisco capitalist
swooped down on the company's of
fice at Marshfleld while he was in
New York and drove all of tho office
employes out of tho building at the
muzzle of Winchesters. He says he
realized tho futility of bringing
Spreckles to an accounting at that
time and waited until now in order
to fortify his position.
Railroad men look upon Gra
ham's proposed action as an attempt
on the part of Hill to gain a strong
connecting link in a line from Port
land to San Francisco. Tho Coos
Bay, Roseburg & Eastern Railway &
Navigation company extends up to
the head of navigation on the Co
qulllo river and runs through one
of the richest valleys in the country.
It Is In reality the small part of a
transcontinental system that is con
sidered one of tho most feasablo yet
broached for the advancement and
development of tho Pacific coast.
That the line Is one over which tho
Hill and Harrlman interests will
fight to the lasl ditch is further at
tested to by the facts that the com
pany is on a paying basis. Another
thing which promises a hard fight
among tho big Interests Is Graham's
dislike for Harrlman and Spreckles.
Of the latter, tho forcible seizure of
the road is sufficient to show the en
mity existing between the two, while
Graham Is said to have developed a
dislike for the Southern Pacific man
for several reasons.
An incident of tho Graham-Spreck-
els fued Is recalled In the hearing of
tho Interstate commerce commission
which mado a small investigation on
tho Coos Bay lino last spring. Com
missioner Lane was listening to the
evidence and asked Mr. Graham If ho
did not regard Spreckles' Intentions
honest. Sir. Graham Is reported to
have said to tho capitalist: "Well,
he made a noise like an honest man."

A well-dressed woman took from
her pocketbook two pawn tickets.
"How do you happen to have doc

"They belong to me. that's how,"
replied tho well-dressed woman, se
renely. "I pawned several pieces of
jewelry when I went away In July,
and I haven't got tho things out yet."
The friend's face took on an ex
pression of mingled sympathy and
wonder.
"Well," she exclaimed, "you are
certainly the last person I would have
ever thought of coming down to that.
You always seem to have plenty of
money."
"I didn't pawn tho things because
I needed tho money," said tho well
dressed woman. "I put them there
for safe keeping. For several years I
have been storng my furs In a pawn
shop during the summer. Since they
were so well taken care of there, I
concluded to trust tho pawnbroker
with my jewelry this season. Last
year the warehouse where 1 had the
things stored was broken Into, and I
lost two rings and a bracelet. A
pawnshop is. about the safest place on
earth to keep things in. It is hard
enough for people to get their own
stuff out sometimes, but It almost im
possible for anybody else to get it.
Also it is cheaper than a safety de
posit vault, so far that combination
of reasons have become a pawnshop
patron."
