H. Mm Portland Telegram Says His Promise of New Line May Be Clever Ruse. The Portland Telegram printed the following story la last Monday's is sue: "Portlanders who received Invita tions to attend the convention of the Southern and Central Oregon and Idaho Development Congress at Coos Bay this week declaie that Ilarri man's announcement that he intends to huild a road into Central Oregon at once, was most timely. Sarcastic ally speaking, they regard the re newed promise a shaving come at the very psychological moment, just in time for the news to reach Coos Hay when the convention opens. One of the chief purposes of holding this session was to discuss ways and means for compelling tho llarrlnmn interests to make Immediate use of or relinquish their claims on strate gic passes and rights of way secured from the government. "Delegates at this conference re present every portion of the state which lias been bottled up and neg lected for years by tho Harrimans, so that tho announcement from Pe lican Bay Lodgo could easily be con strued, it is held, as a shrewd move to tako tho wind out of the sails of tho antl-Harriman agitators nt tho convention, and therby give Harrl man more time in carrying out his oft-announced plans. It is a very dif ficult matter to get a ropresentatlvo convention of railroad seekers to gether, but the lawmakers may take action at tho next session. "By making such strong promises at this time, it is argued that Ilarrl man may for a time lull the indigna tion of tho pcoplo In tho districts which havo no transportation facili ties at this time, nt least until tho next legislature has adjourned. This would apply to most regions of tho state, but not to tho Coos Day coun try, where the convention Is to bo held. "Neither Governor Chamberlain, P. S. Stanley nor Goneral Manager J. P. O'Drlen, who conferred with Mr. Harriman, has oftored the Coos Bay people a crumb of solaco or comfort as a result of tho meoting at Pelican Bay. Govornor Chnmberlain stated Saturday, before ho loft for Coos Bay, that tho Coos Bay-Drain project was not oron considered. So It will bo Interesting to hear what ho has to toll tho pcoplo of that section in his address to tho delegates of the dovolopmont congross. Tillamook pcoplo art) also understood to be strongly represented nt tho Coos Day conference, and Mr. Hurrhuan held out no hopes for tho ourly comple tion of tho Pacific Railway & Nav igation Company's road from IIIlls boro to Tillamook.

He arrived at Myrtle Point early tills week and will remain some time, being scheduled to deliver an address at the Reunion of Coos County Veterans and Pioneers at Co qulllc, Thursday, September 3. Orvillo Dodge, historian of tho so ciety, Is in Marshlleld today to attend tho lair and also to interest local pioneeis and vetcians in the meot- ng. He says there will bo a foil? attendance. Plans will bo mado at tho meeting this jear for the proper celebration of tho fiftieth anniversary next year of the arrival of tho fa mous Daltimore colony in the Co quillc valley. In addition to Mr. Hermann, the Rev. Mr. Preston of Myrtle Point, will speak. His addicss will foe for tho veterans while Mr. Hermann will speak for the pioneers. Coquille will tender tho visitors a banquet. Mr. Hermann came to Coos county in 1S5J), and was the first school teacher on tho south fork of tho Co quille. Whilo ho moved away, he has always been Interested In Coos county and still owns property in and around Myrtle Point. of inspection to Tillamook, was oqullly reticent on tho subject, whilo President E. E. Lytic, of this road, Bays ho doesn't believe there is any prospect of tho road's completion for some time. So that Coos Day and Tillamook may still havo some worm remarks to make yet about tho Har riman delays and promises." -----...,4,....4. "AMKIUCANS NOT SAILOHS." James J. Hill Tells Why Pacific Trade Was Abandoned. ST. PAUL, Aug. 27 Tho announ cement that tho Hill lines had aban doned the mnrino portion of thotr share in tho trado with Japan and China, whilo retaining affiliation with Japaneso steamship lines, has sur prised many In tho northwest. Ac cording to tho chairman of tho board, James J. Hill, It was to bo expected. "Why," exclaimed Mr. Hill "our Pacific trado has been gone for a year. As long as fifteon months ago I told them what was coming." When asked If tho action of tho American transcontinental roads In withdrawing from tho Pacific carry ing trado was duo to resentment at tho action of tho Interstate commer ce commission, Mr. Hill replied: "Resentment? No. The commis sion cannot be blamed for enforcing the law. ''The Pacific trado was given up because it did not pay. America today has no fiag on the high seas, or might as well not have, for we cannot compete with any other coun try, and must hand the load over to anybody that asks for It. The only way for us to continue in tho Pacific trade would be for the railroads to own their own steamers and run them at a heavy loss. Wo aro not a seafaring nation. We havo no sailors, though under tho law Americans must constitute two-thirds or three-fourths of the crews. What wo must have to make an ocean-carrying trade possible Is not subsidies, but intelligent legislation legisla tion that helps Instead of hindering." HOUSE HAS THE 1)KUG IIA1UT. Well Huliuved IhiriiiK Youth, Wan dors Off in His Old Age. CALDWELL, N. J., Aug. 27. The old grayhors belonging to a local grocer and known to all tho women and children us anm Is now number ed among tho lapsed and lost. It is felt that there Is no hope for him, and sooner or later he will be swap ped off. In his days and In his middle years Sam lived a sober, dignified I and altogether exemplary life. He was safe company for tho most In nocent. Hut now mothers silently lift both their hands and eyes when his name is mentioned, and always one of the whispered questions at parlor and front porch meetings Is: "Can nothing be done for poor Sam?" About six months ago the gray horse had the colic one morning. A veterinarian gave a prescription. A drug storo around tho corner from his master's store filled it. What ovor It had in itj the medicine cured Sam's colic immediately. The next morning Sam walked around to the drug store, though his driver was not with him, and putting his head In the front door, whinnied pleadingly. After a little while the druggist gave him tho prescription again. Ho went away happy. The druggist laughed, and Sam's master laughed, and all the neighbors laugh ed. Dut It Isn't a joke any more. Sam at first 'Insisted on his prescription soon after breakfast, or ho would grow unmanageable. Now lie is peevisk all tho afternoon If he does n't get n second dose about noon. Ho is losing flesh and his dignity Is all gone.
