Harriman to obtain insuperable ad vantages and monopoly. Month ago there wa organised and incorporated the Mount Hood Railway t Power Co, which was supposedly to engage in the building of an electric road , to Mount Hood as an enterprise intended to assist and develop a pleasure resort. Circumstance later strengthened the suspicion that there , wa ; something more and of greater significance back ef the project than appeared on the surface, Kow it has been uncovered and discloses an undertaking of exceed fag interest and importance. As the tory i told, Portland, Ore, and Salt lake City are to be connected by a new line of railway- a new link in a trans continental railroad chain that is to be forged as fast as labor and sufficient cap ital can complete the task. It is also atated that this is the outcome of care fully matured plans concealed behind the Mount Hood electric company and for which Senator William A. Clark, E. P Clark of Los Angeles and their asso eiates are responsible. The initial work was done by the latter when he went to Portland and formed the Mount Hood corporation. It is further explained that when Senator Clark gave approval to maps made by engineers for the San Pedro los Angeles & Salt Lake, these provided for extending one arm of the system as rar a Portland. It is well known how after the building of the San Pedro was assured, and, in fact, its construction was progressing rapidly to a finish, fin I AM HERE i ' , r. t ft ft I Si r 1 Dr. D. A.

There waa an immediate veto upon the plans for the Oregon extension and for the time being the development ha retarded. Since then the Clark party ha been freed from Harriman shackles and left free to o.rry out its original ideas. ' ' , Last June there wa incorporatedthe Portland Eastern Company to build a road from Portland., through , Central Oregon to a connection with one or more eastern trunk lines, the capital stock being $5,000,000. The incorporator were K. P. Clark, E. C Gillie, Arthur H. Fleming, E. B. ColwelL Robert T. Lin ney and C. W. Miller. The first three are the men who put through the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company, and tha other were simply dummies--men in the employ of that company whose name were used for convenience in incorporating. So far it haa not been possible to indue the Loa Angeka capi talist to ay very much aa to the ulti mate destination of the road. Bighta of way affording an entrance into Portland are (till needed and until acquired any information aa to detail would be premature. This is their ex planation: They admit, however, that the intention is to build and operate a new steam and electric railroad con necting with the properties of Senator Clark, and David H. Moffatt, the Den ver banker, who organized the Denver, Northwestern & Pacific intending orig inally to make it an independent road between Denver and Salt Lake City.

NEW YORK. Nov. 2. Now that the fierce money panic that engulfed New, ior last week 1 abated, giving time to count up the dead and wounded and to compare notes, all sorts of stories of odd experiences, most of them appear- ing humorous in retrospect are crop ping out One man known to have a cash balance of more than $100,000 in one of the most seriously affected insti tution put in nearly half a day. in a prominent hotel trying to borrow a couple of dollars for lunch and car fart and unsuccessfully at that. II had com downtown with no money in his clothes. and the several hundred people lined up before the trust company wheae he kept hi saving meant an impossible wait before hi turn to cash a check arrived. Other banks while willing to accept checks on this institution for collection refused to cash them, and al together it looked like a lunchless day and a walk home until it occurred to the moneylesa man to pawn his watch. With e1 money, at 100 per cent and over. were waa mighty little spare change floating around. Lota of 15000 and $10,000 were loaned in an instant at 150 per cent on call and other loans run ning into tha hundreds of thousands ww reported at 8 early as high a rate. In the long line of unduly alarmed de positor waiting before institution on which a run - taking place many queer incident occurred. So great wa the anxiety to affect an early with drawal of funds that loafers and thugs of all description early secured desirable places in line which they, later sold to bona fide depositors anxious to reach the paying tellers windows. At one insti luiion wnere more than 500 persons were in line a negro who had secured such a place was offered one hundred dollars for it. He refused, holdina- out for $200, and about two minutes later found himself thrown out by the bank detective who discovered that he had no right in the line. A messenger boy Good Morning !

Wool Underwear RAINCOATS way referred to in regard to the Port land Eastern, but it djustment ia ex pected within the present month. That this is not interfering with work already under way is shown by the fact that grading is being done for a stretch of the road to be at once built and used for hauling in heavy machinery shipped over the Oregon Navigation. Franchises through the street will not be relied up on for getting into Portland. Instead the company will acquire private right of way. It is believed that eventually this road will be found to figure in a scheme hav ing in view the linking of the Rock Island and the Moffatt road. The work now being carried on is being done bv the Mason Construction Co, of which A. W, Mason of Portland, one of the best known contractors of the North west, is the head. The road selected for the new road will serve the greater part of the vast territory east of the Cascades, which is now remote from transportation. Development of the region by the interest allied with Senator Clark is expected to hasten ac tivity, on the routes of the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Navigation, though, it is urged, there will be traffic for all. James J. Hill is authority for the statement that a single acre of Ore gon s or Washington's best timber land will produce more traffic for a railroad than can be secured from an acre of wheat land in 80 years. Ore2on is credited with having today more stand ing merchantable timber than any other State in the Union, most of it lvin2 west of the Cascade Mountains. But this is not the end of the story. for another chapter Is furnished in the announcement from Tacoma that Mb Moffatt is acquiring land for terminals at Coos Bay, which is on the Oreon coast. Evidently he is .loin Ilia no ri r " I'"' to help along the cause of the combina tion into which he has been drawn bv Senator Clark and James J. Hill. Ac cording to business men of Marshfield, Wash., Mr. Moffatt is in nuest of a franchise granted several years ago for a proposed belt line road through Empire City, North Bend and Marshfield. These towns are strategically located on Coos T.. ' mi f. . y. ine bouthern Pacific is building to Empire City, and Marshfield fmm Drain on its Portland-Rn T?r.ni. muvinvv line down the valley of Umpqua River uu nas already acquired terminals and franchises. An Oregon man heavily interested in Coos Bay was a member of a commit tee that called on Senator Clark several years ago to acquaint him with the ad vantages of the Oregon Coast a. i outlet of tidewater. He waa told that it was the intention to build into Ore- io cents lfe. it all in $500 bills and promptly de camped. Two days later be returned having been unable to break a single note, as people were too suspicious of a youth with yellowback of uch de nominations. He tearfully, insisted that the money in question must have been counterfeit asserting that he had been unable to ell the whole roll for $10. One man created much amusement on Fifth avenue by bringing out a cot and sleeping all night before the institution in which hie money wa deposited in order to be on hand early in the morn ing. ; Sad to relate the bank never opened. Scenes of this sort were com mon from Wall Street to Harlem, and the veteran of the financial district as sert that not even on historic Black Fri day was there such excitement in the city as on two or three days of last week when the panic depositors was at its height, ; That mediaeval customs still prevail ia New York and that the form of se curity, with which Shakespeare has made us familiar in "The Merchant of Venice" is not unknown, was evidenced' in an astonishing case brought to light in the police courts in which the penalty of the voluntary cutting off of three fingers played the chief part. The case hinsed on an agreement entered into by a bishop and three archdeacons of the Ar menian Church involving certain valu ables left in the keeping of the latter by the bishop, with the understanding mat it ne aid not return to claim them within one year he should forfeit three nngers from his right hand, while in the case of his returning the valuables were not forthcoming each of the arch deacons to whom they were entrusted should be mutihated in a like manner. The bishop returned according to agree ment but failed to get his property. Singularly enough the three archdeacons showed a surprising unwillingness to be separated from their fingers, and the modern Shylock was forced to appeal to the courts fop. either his goods or his penalty. The appearance of a plaintiff in court in the twentieth century ask- ing that three men be forced to allow him to cut off three of their fingers caused as much wonderment aa we.s occasioned on his part when the neces sary order was sternly refused.

' w "iim'iiim' lllMI A movement has been started here to preserve the most picturesque of the Hudson River scenery by the creation of a national park. The section which it is sought to include is that known as the highlands of the Hudson and takes in the famous mountains, Storm King, Cro Neat and Dunderberg. The reason advanced for makinir this a na tional enterprise is that West Point and lona Island with the large reservations controlled by the government lie within the boundaries of the proposed park and because it is a region that teems with historic interest and Revolutionary memories. A number of the wealthy and influential summer residents of the territory in question, which takes in the estates of J. Pierpont Morgan, James Stillman, Stuyvesant Fish and other millionaires, have interested themselves in the project and it has been called to the attention of President Roosevelt who has iriven it his approval. If the park is created it will put an end to all pos sibility of defacing what many, writers and travelers have declared to be the most attractive river scenery in the world.
