PASSENGER SERVICE FAULTY
Roads Entering Portland Give Inadequate Din
ing Car Service, and Force Upon Public
Overcrowded Trains Running Slow
Over-crowded nessenger train. slow
running time, inadequate dining car
service and Infrequent train serv
ice are complaints of long tend
ing that ara growing louder
and more bitter time passes
and the population of Oregon Increesss.
The protests against the Harrtanan
Krulttschnlct policy are in a large
measure Justified by actual conditions.
Passenger travel in and out of Port
land has, like freight tonnage. Increased
rapidly In the last three years, and some
time ago outstripped the capacity , of
facilities afforded bv the Southern Pa
cific, O. R. N. and Northern Pacific
companies, as well as the water line
operated by the Harrlraan Interests.
The passenger trawl on all the rail
roads has been conspicuous for Us enor
mous Increase and the) good class of
people who come and go.
It Is declared by commercial men
that not In two years has a passenger
train on tbe Portland-San Francisco run
furnished adequate dining-car facilities.
I Hardly a day passes that it Is possible
for Datrons of this line to got a meal
at anything like reasonable season and
It Is simply a rose of operating the
dining car without cessation to enable
the travelers to be served within a
period of 18 hours. The average South
ern Pacific dining oar Is filled from
the first call for dinner, and the pas
sage wsy leading to It Is occupied by
people for the ensuing hours waiting
lo ret a chance to eat In eastern rail
road dining oars the meals are served
at tbe regular hours adopted by hotels,
and the service is adequate to accom
modate everybody who wants to eat
within the usual time allotted for hotel
meals.
Pinriasit Totaaas of Travel.
One need but witness the crowds that
pack the union station at train time
to realise- the Increased volume of pas
senger travel. In 106 Portland's union
station handled 2,06,810 coach passen
ger and 1(0,000 Pullman passengers.
Since the close of ltot passenger travel
Instead of diminishing in comparison
with exposition business, has steadily
increased. One day In the summer sea
son of IMS passenger travel reached
the helghtb of breaking all previous rec
ords.
The difficulty seems to be the failure
of the Harrlman management to com
prehend the significance of these facts
snd provide In advance for taking cars
of the Increasing .business. Once "bay
ing fallen behind the procession the
company, while making its usual orders
every year for more equipment falls to
catch up and get abreast of the advance
movement, and thus furnishes a con
tinual source of dissatisfaction and
complaint from ths traveling public
At the Portland hotel yesterday fore
noon a group of eastern people who
had just arrived on an O. R. 4 N. train
tired and hungry, were discussing the
railroads shortcomings with much
acerbity. They complained that the
dining car had been taken off ths train
during tbe night at some point up the
line, and they had been unable to get
any breakfast, and that by the time
they reached Portland the breakfasting
season was past, so that they must
either omit the meal or eat at that late
hour and spoil the luncheon program
A Portland manufacturer, discussing
ths O R. A N. dining car service, re
ferred to a condition that Is familiar to
every patron of the road who travels
first class between Portland and Pen
dleton. He said:
Complaining of
"I wish you would call attention to
a matter which I think should be at
tended to by the business interests of
Portland, and more especially for tbe
traveling public I refer to ths miser
able accommodations furnished between
this city and Spokane on the train that
leaves Portland dally at :li p. m. I
boarded tbe train a few days ago and
found it crowded as usual with pas
sengers, and no faculties for furnish
ing meals excepting a little stove in
a buffet car that la supposed to do the
work necessary to feed at least 100
passengers.
"Many of the passengers had nothing
to eat until 0 . p. m , and ths darkey
who acted as waiter and cook combined
was endeavoring to supply the hungry
passengers to the best of his ability.
How long will It be before we get re
lief from ths Harrlman lines? I am
sure that when the North Bank road Is
completed and trains running over rails
on thst side of the river between Port
land and Spokane ths Harrlman line
will vie with Its competitor to furnish
the best service between here and ths
Inland Empire, and until that time they
are endeavoring to operate their lines
in the most economical manner, regard
less of ths. comfort of ths traveling
public. I feel that the citisens of Port
land, as well as ths Inland Empire,
should Insist that the Harrlman lines
give better accommodations now, with
out waiting until tbey are compelled to
do so by competition on the North
Bank Una."

Everybody connected with bustness in
any capacity, or who has a friend or
relative la any business la Portland,
is Interested la tbs coming- "Who,
where snd what contest." in which
sketches of a number of leading busi
ness firms of Portland will appear,
though ao name is to be mentioned.
From tbe nature of their business, a
peculiarity la the firm's name, a spe
cial Une of goods In which the firm
deals, s well-known or popular phrase
or sentence in Its motto or advertise
ment, wlU be sufficient to guide you
with a Uttle thinking, to name each
firm and business house referred to.
Only tbe most prominent business
houses in Portland will ne written up
In the "Who, where and what contest,"
and that tact will make It an easy task
for persons familiar with ths business
bouses la this City.
There Is certainly sufficient Induce
ment to set people to thinking snd try
to send a. correct snswer. For to those
who solve the problems, or come closest
to a correct solution, there Is $16u

That favorable and satisfactory
progress is being made in construction
of ths Portland Seattle Railway
company's bridges over tbe Columbts
snd Willamette rivers. Is tbs opinion
of Ralph Modjeski of Chicago, consult
ing brldgs engineer for ths H1U lines.
He cams to Portland several days ago
to make an inspection of ths work and
will leave tomorrow for the east.
The work on both bridges is proceed
ing with reasonable dispatch and with
very good luck thus far. Nobody has
been killed, and we bop to get through
without a fatality," be said. "For the
Columbia rlvar bridge there are three
piers shout done and four more well
under way. Ths piers will be ready for
tbs steel structure some time this win
ter and the steel la already arriving on
ths ground. For the Willamette river
bride the yards and plant ars com
pleted and the first caisson is ready
for tbe foundation work Progress on
this bride U not ao well advanced on
account of the delay occasioned by tne
port commission's decision regarding
location."
There wlU be distinctly features
about both of these bridges. The Col
umbia rivar bridge will be the longest
double-track railroad bridge In the
world, and ths Willamette river bridge
will have tbs longest drawspaa in the
world. Ths span In ths latter will be
III feet In length. The steel in the two
bridges WlU weigh 20.000 tons. The
two bridges wlU be among the most
modern and powerful in the country and
will probably be the most expensive,
with the exception of the suspension
bridges at New York.
Ths Columbia rivar bridge will re
quire about St piers. Besides tbs piers
to be built la tbs main river, there wlU
be a Ions; procession of piers across
Haydn Island and the sloughs. Ths
structure whan completed wiU be a
most imposing one and will be the first
to spsn tbs mighty Columbia at a point
of tidal flow. It will supersede ths
monstsr ferry that for years has car
ried Northern Pacific passenger and
freight trains between Kalama and
Ooble, and has been regarded by eastern
visitors as one of ths most novel fea
tures of a transcontinental trip.

COMMON USER CLAUSE PUT
IN BOTH FRANCHISES
Street Committee of Council
Doss It Despite Efforts of
Councilman Masters.
In spite of Councilman Masters, s
common-user clause was inserted In the
ordinances granting franchises for two
sidetracks by the street committee of
the council yesterday afternoon. One
was to the Northern Pacific Terminal
company for a track on Tork street up
to tbe- right of way of the Northern
Pacific. The other waa to the Portland
SeatUs for a track oa North Fifteenth
street
Ths executive board had declined to
fix the valuation of the franchises as
they stood, and a communication from
the board called attention to a violation
of the charter In granting a franchise
of this character.
"It seems to me that this is s very
impertinent communication." observed
Masters. "I do not consider It sny
business of the executive board to tell
as what the ordinances we pass shsll
contain. It's their duty to flx ths valu
ation and not to tell ua what kind of
ordinance to draw up."
But the committee agreed that the
common-user clause should be Inserted
In both ordinances aad ths ordinance
be then recommended for passage.
The committee also recommended the
measure prohibiting shads trees in the
district bounded by Morrison. Washing
