PORTAGE ROAD FROM
ANOTHER STANDPOINT
1.-(Journal Special Serrlce.)
Baker City. Or.. Dec. 12.-"It has been
known here for months that Mr.Harrl
man and the O. R. & N. did not care
anything about the state portage road
being built, so long as it did not Inter
fere with their rlghVot way and future
development in building- of a double
track road," said Col. W, F. Butcher to
day. , "This he ; has now made very
plain, and adds that they. encourage tho
government canal, which la a perma
nent improvement,' and doubtless .'the
offer made three years ago to give the
government right of way for ship rail
way will: be renewed for the canal If
they are asked to do so. As yet it is
positively known here that the govern
ment engineers, or ' no ' one else, has
asked the O. R. & N. what they would
do In the premises.
Eastern Oregon Objects.
"But -If Mr. Harrlman, has no objec
tions to the building of the portage road,
the people of this part of Oregon have.
Why tax the people of Baker City, La
Grande, Eugene, Roseburg and Ashland
for a toy that never can be effective?
It will be but flim-flam affair, to be
operated .for a day to accomplish cer
tain results, then possibly remain inop
erative for days at a time, giving inac
tive ana infrequent service.- A portion
of its operation taxation lies with the
people of Oregon, but to a large extent
with the transportation-companies. The
proposed route of the portage road oc
cupies a large portion of the right Of
way or me proposed government canal.
when the two cannot toe maintained.
Who is to make it operative? Who will
run the boats on the upper river to can
ned with it? . Will the state? ' If not
the state, will the farmers go into the
boat-building and operating business?
It takes capital even to operate boats.
If put in operation it would probably
have as much effect on the O. R. & N.
as the present bnat ltrnr fight between
The Dalles and Portland absolutely
none at all. f . -.;
"If. as has been stated, the nortace
road la worth more to the Portland mer
chants than the Lewis and Clark fair,
why Bon't they put up for its construction-
and not call on the taxpayers to
throw away their money-on something
of no benefit to them. Is there bank
or business house there that would in
vest In such a road? The canal la dif
ferent and will be built by the whole
people for .interstate traffic, but the
most .sanguine ot ..shippers jio. noteatU
mate that the business that .will pass
through it, will pay the Interest on the
cost-of construction. '-. , -
Let us get down to common-sense.
Now that the government is ready to
build the canal at once, all pull off thotr
eoats and assist, and stop this Jangling.
Don't you know that we were completely i
jobbed , by the ' last legislature? The I
people of the middle Columbia .counties
were told that if they would Vote for
the repeafof the coyote bounty law the
other would give them their pet port
age road.- Today-the Bheep of Eastern
and Southern Oregon are being de
stroyed by the hundred by the rapidly
Increasing droves of coyotes. One big '
sheep man has. hired a hunter at $2 per
day and expenses to kill coyotes." The
whole thing was a political job, for;
which some of us here have no use, nor
the representatives who voted for the
bill at our expense, even if the railroads
have no objection to the building bf the
portage. ' - .
"If the portage road Is 'built on the
right of way of the O. R. & N. Railway
company, . there will be room-for It, as
stated by the Oregonlan, but If they are
obliged to. build the portage road on Us
own jnerits, without appropriating any
portion of the O. R. & N. right , of way.
then the portage road and canal cer
tainly Will conflict'
The rovernment canal la a leeitlmata

creditable competitor to, a railroad, and
one that may perform public, service.
In other words, it will bo operative all
the tune. - ' . .

SOLDIERS WAITING"
- FOR CALL TO ARMS
There Is much comment among the
soldiers of the 19th infantry as to their
prospects of being ordered to Panama.
While there Is nothing from an official
standpoint to be published on the mat
ter, it la a current . topic among the
troops. . " .. v.;.
It'ls urged by some, however, that
the 19th infarftry will not be 'called
upon to go to Panama, even though
there be trouble necessitating the call
to arms. It is said that it takes 20
days to maka the trip from San Fran
cisco to Panama, and only nine days
from New y0tk; and this being the
case,: it Is argued, that the eastern
troops would more likely be ordered to
the scene of. hostilities and the western
companies held In readiness for' homo'
duties. i , -, i ' ;
Thus far tliere is no unusual activity
to be teen in and about the garrison
toward making preparations, and the
men of the various, companies are en

ready to spring. r .'
This attitude of mind, altogether ab
normal in daring, "Impetuous and self-
confident men, as those of the oil re
gions were, was based on something
more than the series of "bold and 'ad
mirably executed attacks which had
made Mr. Rockefeller master' of the oil
business. , !- Th - first reason for it was
the atmosphere of mystery in which
Mr. Rockefeller i had succeeded' in en
veloping himself." He seems Jy nature
to dislike the - public eye. In his early
years his home, his office and tha Bap
tlst church - were practically ' the only
places which saw him. lie did not fre
quent clubs, theatres, public meeting.
When . his maneuvers .began to-bring
public criticism upon htm,, his dislike
of , the' public eye seems to have in
creased. He took a residence in'New
York, but he was - unknown there save
to those who did business with him or
were interested In his church or chari
ties. By the time the trust was Organ
ized his was perhaps th least familiar
face In th- Standard Oil company. He
never went to th , oil regions amd the
oil regions said h was afraid to come.
Even in Cleveland, tils home for 26
years, Mr. Rockefeller -was believed to
conceal himself from his townsmen. It
is certain' that ' the : operations of : his
great business were guarded with the
utmost, jealous care.. When news of the
great Standard combination was first
spread abroad in 1882,. 'the New York
Sun sent an "experienced observer" to
Cleveland to write up the concern. lie
speaks with amasement in his letters of
the atmosphere of secrecy and mystery
which ha found enveloping everything
connected with, Mr. Rockefeller. , you
could not get an interview with him,
the "observer1 complained; even his
home papers had ceased to go to th
Standard offices to ' inquire about the
truth "of the . rumors which reached
them from the outside. The hundreds
of employes of the trust in the town
were as silent as their master In all
that concerned , th business, and ir
one talked well, he was not long an
employ of Mr. Rockefeller. There
was between the Standard Oil company
arid the: town and press none of the
camaraderie, the mutual good will and
prldoand confidence which usually char
acterize th relations between great bus
inesses and their environment.
K second reason for the popular dread
of , Mr, Rockefeller Was that this man
whom nobody saw and who never talked
knew everything even unexpected and
trivial things w and those who saw
the effect of this knowledge and did not
see how he could ' obtain it, regarded
htm as little short of an omniscient be
ing.t i There was really nothing In - the
least occult about Mr. Rockefeller' om
niscience. , He obtained - part - Of his
knowledge of thesepeople 's affaira by
a most extensive and thoroughly -organized
system of news gathering, such
as any bright business man of wld9
sweep might properly employ But ho
combined, with this perfectly legitimate
work, most sordid methods of securing
confidential Information. , - .
