PORTLAND, Sept. 5.-E. H. Har
riman, the railroad king, and master
of finance, irrived at Portland late
this afternoon on a special train
which conveyed him and a number of
guests and railroad officials from the
Southern Oregon country, where Har
riman has been sojourning in the
beautiful Klamath country for the
past six weeks.
. Wall street at various times used
reports that Harriman's alleged ill
lealth to advantage for raiding the
market. If this ruleVorks both ways,
his earry appearance on lower Broad
way ought to be a signal for the
most rampant bull market that ever
dejighted the speculators on the long
side. For Harriman is a picture of
r-calth, bronzed by the suns of Klam
ath, and the flushed health that
come's from the care free out-door
life he has been leading.
. Harriman is usually credited with
talking straight from the shoulder
when he wants to talk, but it is evi
dent today that he did not want to
talk on the subject which the public
like to have his views. He would
not talk on the subjects which the
public like to have his views. He
would not talk politics, and said but
little about the financial question. He
fought shy of any discussion for pub
lication, or of affairs of national im
portance. He did however talk freely
of the object of his visit to the Pacific
Northwest.
For the Pacific Northwest Mr.
Harriman has many projects .under
consideration. These propects in
volve the expenditure of vast sums
of money and the details of expendi
ture and apportionment has not been
worked out. Mr. Harriman has plac
ed at the head nf the list of immediate '
extensions the Tillamook branch from
the main line of the Southern Pacific
BarringtoiCHall
Is just pure Mocha and Java
prepared in a new way. The cof
fee berry is cut up (not ground)
by knives of almost razor sharp
ness into small uniform particles.
Thus it is not crushed, as by the
old method of grinding, and the
little oil cells remain unbroken.
The essential oil (food product)
cannot evaporate and is preserved
indefinitely. This is one reason
why a pound of Barrineton Hall
Svill make 15 to 20 cups more of
lull strength cottee than will any
coffee ground the old way; why
it excels all other coffee in flavor
and why it will keep perfectly
until used.
But the main thing; about Harr
ington Hall Coffee is that it xan
be used without ill effect bjr those
who find ordinary coffee injures
them, because the yellow tannin
bearing skin and dust (the only
injurious properties of coffee) are
removed by the "steel-cut" pro
cess, A delicious coffee not a
tasteless substitute.

in Oregon and the line into Central
Oregon, and the Pugct Sound exten
sion. The extension into the Coos
Bay country will certainly be built
but not until the magnate is assured
that the revenue from that road will
pay 4 per cent on the investment for
the first 10 years.
The Natron cut off south of Eu
gene will be built and the work on
the cut-off between Huntington and
Lewiston will be continued but its
early completion largely will depend
on the state o.f .the money market.
"The returning confidence of the
people and the growing disposition
to co-operate with the railroads,"
said Mr. Harriman, "Is helping mat
ters quite materially at this time,
and if improvement continues we will
soon be able to secure the funds
needed for carrying out a number of
projects which would have been well
under way before this time had it not
been for the unfortunate financial
trouble last fall. This growing sen
timent recognizes the mutuality inter
ests between the railroads and thej
people, and is certain to bring good
results, and it is our intention to do
whatever we can to supply a legiti
mate demand for transportation fa
cilities." En route to Portland Mr. Harriman
stopped at Roseburg, Eugene, Albany
and Salem and held a brief conference
with "the various committees repre
senting various commercial organiza
tions. Tonight he is the guest of the
Commercial Club of this city at an
informal reception.
That the war is over between E.
IT. Harriman and James J. Hill was
stated in so many words by the
Union Pacific magnate tonight at the
reception given by the Commercial
Club. The rivalry of the railroads for
business will go on he said, but they
will meet hereafter as neighbors.
That all the Harriman lines projected
in this state will go forward to com
pletion as soon as practicable was
the statement he made to the assem
bled business men. He assured his
audience that the outlook for railroad
building in this country is excellent
and work has just been ordered re
sumed in Oregon to be followed with
the resumption , in other delayed pro
jects until all shall have been com
pleted. Harriman left tonight for
San Francisco. He will stop at Med
ford and Ashland and will meet Mrs.
Harriman and party at Weed. .

nant. With the big baseball leagues now
hard at work for the top rung of the

Looking over the big league timber
for an all star club, the following team
looks as if It could make n runaway
of any pennant race If ever corralled
Into one club:
Pitchers Mathewson, New York, Na

Of course It Is Impossible to purchase
the players mentioned, but If they
were on the market it Is a cinch that
$250,000 would be Insufficient to' pur
chase the stars ou the list.
Take the pitchers. Of the four,
Mathewson and Mordecal Brown, the
Chicago veteran who has stood among
the first pitchers of the game for many
years, stand out the brightest. Fifteen
thousand dollars would be instantly
turned down for each release. Next
comes "Wild Bill" Donovan, the fa
mous Detroit twirler. An offer of $12,
000 for his services would resound 01:

wonderful pitcher the game knows

Then the two catchers. Opinion is
divided as to which of the pair has the
call on the title of "king of the mask

either catcher.
At first base Fred Tenny has the
package of cough drops on all Initial
sack scoopers, and $15,000 would, be
sent back to the mint to grow were It
offered for his services.
Lajole, the 'great Napoleon, though
hindered by managerial duties, shines
at second base when comparison Is
brought out an an electric light shines
over a tallow candle. The (13,000 bill
sent out for his release would go beg
ging for a taker.

Bradley of the Cleveland Americans
looks the Sunday morning kid. Man
ager Lnjole would laugh himself Into

Shortstop comes next, and the uu
disputed title belongs to the Flying
Dutchman, Honus Wogner. His work
this season, since Jolniug Pittsburg,
has proved his sterling worth. What
do you. suppose would bo said to one
who offered $25,000 for the great
Hans?
For left field, although bis regular
position Is in right, the package should
go to Mike Donlin, the great outfielder
and slugger of the New York Nation
als. Do you think for a minute that
Donlln's release could be purchased
for $15,000? Nix.
For center field Detroit puts the run
ner up In the person of Sam Crawford.
The great fielder and hitter would
never get away from the Tigers on an
offer of $15,000.
Next comes the right garden, and
Detroit puts another one on the paa In
Tyrus Cobb, the Georgia boy, who is
the real sensation of the baseball
world. Would $20,000 .buy his get
away papers? We rise In the negative
on this point. Twenty thousand, with
an additional $5,000, would look to Jen
nings the same as a blue shirt waist
would loom up at a pink .tea.
For a utility player Ilofman, the
great nil round player wearing a Chi
cago club uniform, Is the whole piece
of broadcloth, and $15,000 would be
mere pocket change to offer for Ilof
man, the grandest of all the utility
men.

It seem possible to defeTtt such a team

Two Umpires Nex'Cbeaton.
President Ban Johnson has an
nounced that the doublo umpire sys
tem will be used In all games of the
American league next season. Losing
no time after making the decision,
President Johnson already has signed
two new diamond Indicators to com
plete his staff. The reformwhlcb was
looked upon as Inevitable In the fu
ture, owing to growing complexities
of the game, has been advocated by
a number of the leading baseball
writers, but it has hardly been thought
the change would be made at once, al
though many recent happenings on the
diamond where only one umplro hns
worked have shown the necessity for
two pairs of eyes. It seems reason
able to believe the National league
also will use two umpires next sea
son, although President Pulllara has
not expressed'' himself definitely as
yet. - ; - -

writing that if the police officers per

the police should do this and do tiat.
The police say the sheriff should' do
that -and do this, and both add it is
"up to" the district "attorney's office.
Many of the saloons are kept open
on each Sunday. This is in viola

tion of a city law. It is "up to" the
police and the sheriffs office, It is
directly "up to" any and all of the

the law, and yet all seem to be sitting
idly and supinely by doing nothing,
absolutely nothing.

going on in the red-light district. .
"There is less robbery now than ever
before," he said. "It is an uncommon
thing now to hear of a robbery, while
they used to be -of nightly occur

is amply corroborated by many
others. And as the town is clean and .
