OLDEST INHABITANT IS AMAZED
BECAUSE TRAINS ARE ON TIME
For the first time almost In tha mm
ory of any person living In tha present
generation, tha, Southern Paolflo train
from 8aa Francisco and tha O. TL N.
overland train from the east arrived In
Portland on achedule time this morning.
Employes of the railroad at tha Union
depot atod In amassment aa tha trains
rolled Into the big train shed. Old,
gray-breaded employes, who have been
with the railroads since they were
started, told stories of tha days when
tha trslns arrived nearly on time, and
one old fellow who remembered beck
many years remarked that unless "his
memory - failed him,' No. )i arrived on
time ona day In ths winter of '97."
"But X ain t aura," ha added guard
edly. ' '
These old fellows tried to assign soma
reason for tha train arriving on time.
Vsrlous sxouses were offered, for pleas
antly disappointing ths traveling pusllo,
and all finallyagreed the "range feat
had been accomplished solely becauss
& H. Harriman. was somewhere In the
west That Is, all save ona man, who
Insisted that the arrival waa -due to an
act of divine Interposition caused by tha
fining of tha Standard Oil company by
Judge K. M. Landls. -
This reason was demurred at by many
of tha oldtlmera because they have been
mitn ih. mail so Ions they generally
agreed that experience had taught them
the people were not so mucu .ujto i
bsnefloent acta from a divine providence
aa they were from klcka and rebuff
from tha railroad. ' j ' . ' .
. Tha sameoDlnloa waa held to ba true
of tha O-'R, N. company, . which also
succeeded today In making one of Us
trains arrive In Portland on time.

that a permanent tennis club will be
