Wittenberg monopolised the biscuit and
cracker business of the northwest,- but
i.e didn't know how to build or operate
a) railroad. .. Wittenberg told - Bwlgert
that he did not know how to run a

the two shook hands and became as good
friends as when one pitched and the
other caught for an east aide baseball
team. . . A '-vv:r.;''-.',.'t ,;

minutes and then self-interest and am
tttioa began to work opon them. -

. "We should ba given the priority of
rlpht on Front street," declared Swlgert.
'The right haa been given to tha United
railways, and that ' company Is doing
nothing axcept to build on Front street.
It has not apent mora, than f 60,000 on
all Its lines and It baa not started on
the Salem and Hillsboro lines. Wa are
laUding right to -Salem, and we have
spent 1.1S2,600 ait the line that we
l ave built so far and will imtld within
the next month or two. we do not want
this company to hold ua up at tha city
limits on freight and passenger trains.

persons do some work on the other
lines. ' W have the Hillsboro line to
look after," '- i. .:. ;(;:' -ir :

cannot get labor," aald Wittenberg of
the old schoolhouse In Alblna. (Swlgert

-The two looked at each other menac
ingly. The angry glance wa of but a
Jninute's duration, for tha thoughts of
both ran back simultaneously to their
boyhood days and tbey became friends
again.
Penalty Broog-t Up.
Talk about change in human senti
ments! Five minutes later those two
men were enemies again, and bitter, too.
Old days were forgotten. .
i "We can get neither labor nor rail for
our Hillsboro line," ' said Wittenberg.
When we can build out to Hillsboro wa
will be able to run. our line to Tilla
mook. ' We want an extension of time.
'"Tou ought to pay a penalty ,f or "the
delay," aald Councilman Wills.
, "A penalty of. 1600 is provided and it
should have been paid the' first year."
said Chairman Vaughn. , "Tou pay that
and get a standing before tha council."
Wittenberg" explaiped that Portland
capitalists had just taken over tha fran
chise, and they were trying to straighten
out the affairs of tha old company be
fore they finished their city work. - '
! "Ton are doing nothing but crowding
us out of tha.-city!. retorted Bwlgert
"All the work w can do la on Water

so peculiar o tha SellwooH legislator. -
"Within SO days." answered Mr. Wit
tenberg. "we- shall pave laid S.OOO feet
of rail on Front street and . 5,000 on
other streets. We have spent $260,000
on the Oraydoa and Why ta franchises,
and we have delayed construction only
because one of our financiers was taken
down with " tuberculosis after the San
Francisco earthquake," t
"That's too bad," aald Swlgert "Serl
