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

"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."

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.
