POKE HARRIIM IN EYE
; TO GET REAL SERVICE
New . Yorker Decfares That It
Only Way to Obtain Anything
. From Railroads. '.;
COMMISSIONS . SHOULD BE
NAMED BY GOVERNOR
Oscar R. Meyer Say Oregoa Should
' Hare Shown Magnate What It
,- , Could Do to Him Six Yoa( Ago
.: . Instead of Si Month.
"With the factorlee crowded with or
ders, labor employed at good - wages,
' large immigration and . good , prospect
for big crops, there can ba no financial
panic There might be a stringency.
, mm Oeoer R. Jieyer of New York, who
Is visttlne In Portland and observing
conditions. The railroads, and many
speculative enterprises may hare diffi
culty in getting money to-spend, but
- there la plenty of eastern money foi
legitimate needs of trades, commerce
and manufacturing." , '
Mr Meyer said a good feature of the
western situation la that western eapl
' tal is not being aent east in response to
the call for money to loan at high rates.
K but s being Invested at home in produc;
T tlve and development enterprises, i
- Asked what ba meant by the terra
. " "speculative" nses for which no oast
era money may be had. Mr. Meyer par
ticularised as to projects that show ao
immediate revenue, but that rely for
; their revenue-bearing power upon future
contingencies. Water power. . electric
railway, steam railway branch llneo and
: Irrigation projects he included rn the
, speculative class.
"Mercantile and manufacturing Inter
. este can get all the money they need
for carrying on legitimate business of
the country." continued -' Mr. Meyer.
The - railroad" companies" wlir auffer
H from scarcity of eastern money ao long
-. the agitation against them continues,
and the agitation will go on until rail-
road financiers and managers get hon
est, and deal fairly with the people.
The railroads are solely responsible for
t tie predicament In which they now find
J. themselves. They bave been playing the
financial game for some years with an
, tire disregard of the Interests of the
public. They have been building rail
roads at small coat, with money raised
- on bonds, and have been watering the
atocky . a ; ,.. v ; -. :
SALVAGE AND WRECKING
CO. TO OPEN STORE
Will Sell Bankrupt Stocks and
Will Be Known as the West
- - Coast Salvage & Wrecking Co.
- The leading position Portland' Is fast
taking among, the foremost mercantile
cities on th coast la beat ahown by the
advent of another new enterprise, new
, in this city, bur one of years of suc
cessful operation "in the eaat in the
, selling of bankrupt stocks.'
Mention was given some time ago In
, the papers of the formation of the West
Coast Balvige and Wrecking company,
composed of some of the beet known
. business men la this vicinity.
They have rented the large double
stejrt. . eorner Third and Davis, at which
- place they will open a retail establlsn
, ment for the disposal and sale of their
various purchases. 1
, The original company has bad many
! years' experience In the eaat and has
met 'with success in the business of
. buying bankrupt stocks, fire damaged
merchandise, as well as wrecked goods
from the railroad and steamship com
panies, and Is one that gives them wide
choice in. the selection of their wares,
and as they buy nothing but goods that
can be secured at from 10c to I6o on
: the dollar tt places them In a position
at all times to have their stores in ail
- parts of the country, running sales of
the big bargains they make. Four
stores are already in operation, one
i each In Boston, New York, Cleveland
. and Chicago, and the fifth will ba la
, this city at the corner-of-Third and
1 Davis streets, which place they have
' recently rented. 4 ,..,'...... .
- Aa their nam Indicates, they deal
exclusively. In bankrupt - and' salvage
stocks. - but their years of experience
- : has fitted them la n peculiar manner
. for the choice of their merchandise.
' Only the best Is bought, and it Is a re
. markable fact, but nevertheless true,
, that over fo per cent of the goods pur-,
' chased by them Is In perfect condition.
' and when It Is considered that they
are disposed of at from one quarter to
one third of what retail merchants
charge It la not to bo wondered at that
' this firm has s world-wide reputation.

has been 'delayed for -several months

' Nearly all atock la water. The bonds

begin operating a railroad with small
population and business, at rates that
will psy interest on the laveatment
Then, Vhen the population and business
have enormously Increased, do they re
duce the rates materially to the public?
Not much. Instead of that, they pump
more water Into the stock. When the
public asks for lower rates, the railroad
manager reply that It is Impossible to
reduce tba rates and continue to pay In
ternet on the Inveatment' '
: "I would rather see government own
ership of railroads than railroad owner
ship of the public. But there is no ne
cessity for either condition. I believe
In railway commissions. If they are com
posed of competent men. and only that
kind should be secured, though they
must be paid $10,000 a year for each
man. They should be appointed by the
governor, and he should have absolute
power to remove with or without cause.
I believe in state regulation of all pub
lic utilities. The publlo should control,
and curb their avll tendencies, for the
public has to pay the freight All pen
alties of mismanagement and bad finan
ciering are ultimately paid by the pub
lic." . -' ; .- . ... :
Any Old Thins; for Oregon.
Mr. Meyer said Oregon never -. will
get art It is entitled to untU It "pokes
Mr. Harrlman In the eye." The Union
Pacific system's Green Fiver route,'
known aa the Oregon Short Line, la op
erated principally, for cattle and Im
migrants. It Is not equipped with ac
commodations that compare with the
trains running In and out of San Fran
cisco. Ha said that all San Pranclsco
trains -are modern and elegant, but that
any old train la good enough for Port
land, in therestlmatlon of Mr. Harrlman.
The main regret la that Oregon did
not begin showing Mr. Harrlman a few
things six years ago Instead of six
months ago," ha continued. "This state
will . never 'get any real reforms from
Harrlman until It convinces him that tt
can and will do things to him. It re
minds mo of the Yankee who was tell
ing a Frenchman that the United States
was moving heaven and earth to build
the Panama canal. 'The Frenchman re-
piled that they had better move more
earth and less heaven." '
Portland money Invested at boma la.
In Mr. Meyer's opinion, one of " the
strongest safeguards against a financial
stringency, or even a panic . - More
Oregon financial faith In Oregon in
vestments Is. what. la needed, aa much
a eastern money. It la only recently
that home capital baa even believed In
local real estate. Outsiders Sweeny
and others came in and showed the
local capitalists how to Invest his
money. ------ . ' : 1
In order that a stock might be secured
that would do Justice to the reputation
of our ' company," aald Mr. Harry Nor
ton, the manager, 'tut at last we have
secured what we consider one of the
best purchases we have ever made, the
entire bankrupt stock of Johnson-
Halllman,- the Council Bluffs, Iowa, de
partment store . who failed last Jan
uary, the atock which our representa
tive bought for 11 cents on the dollar.
-The- goods hare been on the road foi
almost n month and have Just arrived.
but as the store Is already In shape for
them, we will start our sale .Friday,
Which will bo as quick as we can un
pack and get them ready for the sale.
This event . will bo the greatest sale
ever held In your city and abould not
for an Instant be compared with the
so-called sales which have been foisted
on the publlo by - unscrupulous -dealer
on tna Jfacinc coast.
Tba West Coast Salvage Wrecking
company, with lt world-wide reputa
tion, stands back of every claim made
and every price quoted, so one can come
to our atore with the absolute assur
ance of securing Just as advertised and
at the advertised price, too.
- In addition -to the Johnson at Halll
man stock, wo also have hundreds of
lots from our other stores at prices
that will make a new mark In bargain
