The Journal's Exclusive Story of a Giant Railroad
Combination to Boom Portland at
Expense of Sound GtieSe
Is Not Denied by the Railroad Magnate Some
Interesting Talk on the Railroad Situation
Mysterious Consultation With Mohler, '
President Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, refueed to deny the statement this
morning, exclusively published In The Journal of last Saturday, that It Is the In
tention of the railroad companies to divert all of Washington's vast cereal product
to the mouth of the Columbia, and boom Portland to the skies.
Watching the sensational developments In the railroad situation In the
Northwest, The Journal sounded the first note over a week ago, when It gave pub
licity to the agreement between the large railroad lines extending interchange
able track privileges. It was claimed at that time that the move was to better
shipping facilities and render It possible to move freight to tidewater over a
river grade, thus cutting down the amount of fuel necessary to supply traction.
The political complexion, the Senatorial fight in' 'Washington and the campaign
that has been waged for months against the railroads of the Northwest by Gov.
McBrlde has brought to light the real significance of the Northwest agreement
with regard to the tracks.
O. R. & N. MAY L'SK TRACKS.
"Is there anything in the report that
your road is to allow the O. K. & N. Co.
the use of your tracks to Seattle and the
Sound country?" was asked by The
JourtiaK ,
'."Jhw U. H. & N. ha always had the
pi h liege of running their trains Into the
Sound country, and if they have not
taken advantage of their privilege, that-
ls their business.
"Can you say anything as to the proba
bje outcome of the merger?"
"What merger?" asked alelleh.
"The Northern Securities merger, of
course. Your road, the Great Northern
and the Hurlington."
"There is no such tiling as a merger
of these roads. We own half of the
Hurllngton and the GreaJ Northern owns
the other half, but there Is no merger
of any kind that I am aware of."
"Hasn't the Governor of Minnesota
undertaken to break an existing merger
of the Hill roads?"
"Yes. he tried to do something three
times but suddenly dropped the .matter
each time. We have had no official
cognizance of any ponding suit."
"Then the telegrajihic dispatches "from
AVashington must be groundless, are
they?"
'1 utuose they are. All I know about
"these trtterrr1 vrhnt T wid in the news
papers, arid everything that I read in the
newspapers I do not generally believe."
"Is it a fact that a brunch Is being
built or will be built Into the Klickitat
country?"
"Yes. the fact Is that we have a party
surveying the route at the present time,
and wo Intend building shortly to Lyle,
Instead of along the north bank of the
Columbia, as originally Intended."
DOKS LARGEST BCSINESS.
"Does not the Northern Pacific do more
business In this part or the country than
all the other roads combined?"
"If you mean by this country Portland
then no; If the Pacific Northwest then
yes. We have the territory and we do
the business."
"How nbout the road to Ijewiston; Is
the Northern Pacific going to build the
road jointly with the O. K. & N. Co., or
not?"
"The newspapers seem better Informed
on railroad subjects than we railroad of
ficials. I know nothing of any Joint line."
"Is it not a fact that there is a road
being built from Lewiston to Rlparla, by
the O. K. & N. ?"
A Direct Charge Against
Belgian King
It Is Claimed He Is Playing for
Personal Favor and Hired
the Shooting.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 17. There Is a feel
ing gaining ground here that Rubino, the
assassin, was paid by the King or some
member of his suite to fire the shots on
Saturday, and that there was no inten
tion at any time to injure the royal per
sonage. ,
While this is simply eonjecture it Is
being largely believed and Very generally
repeated. The King has long been in bad
favor With the people and it is claimed
that he. would adopt almost any remedy
for this condition. His action In secur
ing an alleged assassin to fire at him dur
ing his passage through the crowded
streets was an attempt to win the public
over to his side through a play upon
their feelings. It Is further claimed that
the prisoner has been guaranteed his re
lease. He could be spirited away In the
night and the story circulated that he had
committed suicide.
Anarchists declare, he is not of their
Bumber-.-
RUBINO'S HISTORY.
PARIS. Nov. 17 The man who fired at
Leopold, the Belgian King, is a common
thief. In 1893 he was sentenced to prison
for stealing In Milan. He escaped and
Went to EnglanilrwheTe teTTvedTor years, t
He Is not an Anarchist, having been ex

that he attempted to kill the Belgian

BIG SCHEME TO DOWN M'BRIDE
"If the O. R. & N. Is building any new
roads you better go to Mr. Mohler and
get the information."
"Is your road building or Intending to
build In that country?"
"No, at least I don't care to say any
' thing for publication." .
TALKS ON LEWIS AND CLARK FAIR.
After answering several other ques
tions gruffly, Mr. Mellen switched the con
versation to the weather, saying that the
Oregon people seem to be quite success
ful in having sufficient rains.
"Oregon Is successful In everything It
undertakes," replied The Journal reporter.
"In your Lewis and Clark Fair also?"
queried the railroad president.
"Certainly, sir."
"Well, I would not like to invest any
money in your fair. I don't think it will
prove a successful venture."
"Why not?"
"Well, with the St. Louis Fair coining
up and other attractions, I don't think
you have the 'ghost' of a show. As a
financial venture I am sure that It will
fee a failure." . -
"On what reason do you base your
opinion?"

Presldent Mellen was in consultation
with President Mohler, of the O. R.- &
N., this morning for a half hour. The
subject of conversation is shaded with
a mysterious silence, although Mellen's
voice rose to a high pitch several times
during the conversation and threatened
to give the patiently waiting reporter a
tip as to the probable topic under dis
cussion. LEAVE FOR SEATTLE

Miners Say It Only Lacks Trans

Great.
From
months
time to time In the last few
rumors have come from Alaska
that Valdes was to be the next point
to enjoy that sudden influx .of. uew.com
erti knojxoaa j. "rBb." These 'rumors
are rapidly crystallizing Into delinlte
ftatements of new projects being
launched In that district. J. V. lyey,
formerly collector of customs for Alaska,
received a telegram from New York lids
morning which stated that W. A. Mc
Donald, the well-known r.Ulroud con
tractor, had left Gotham on his way to
Valdes. where he will immediately under
take the construction of the Valdes and
Copper River Railroad. This road, as
now surveyed, will run from Valdes Into
the Interior some Sou miles, and will af
ford the owners of the recently discov
ered copper deposits in that section a
means of transporting their ore to tho
coast.
SPEAKS OF VALDES.
J. W. Ijingham, a miner who arrived
In Portland from Valdes this morning,
says :
I know nothing of the railroad men
tioned in Mr, Ivey's dispatch, hut I have
heard ??r several roads which It Is pro
posed to build. One or more of thim
will certainly be constructed soon, as
there is plenty of business for any line
which will penetrate the Interior coun
try and give the miners access to tho
seaboard. If the Valdes and Copper
River road commences the construction
of its line In good, faith. Valdes will ex
perlenm a full-fhdged boom next spring.
After IMs exhausts Itself. tl)e country,
or at least that wclion of it. will be
on a permanent basis, and what is more.
It will not ..be long before Its production
of copper will have a marked eff -ct on
the market for the electrical metal.

"Within a radius of 3n0 inils from Val

hs much copper and more as ever lay
buried in the great mines of the I'nlte.l
