not make It of general application, and

In a quiet, considerate way. and with

talked more than half an hour about
the practical side of railroad building
and operation. It is his method to
build tlrst-claaa construction, with a
view to future rather than preaent
limits of operation, and not to ask for
any gifts or subsidies. He buys right
of way and terminals and pays the
price, rather than to Dubllah advance

his extreme caution in entering upon

There Is need for handling the for-

nance of present lines. It is difficult
for people to comprehend the railroad's
need for timber, but we are using 4,
000,000 ties annually."
He Date for Tjaad Sales.
Asked to name a date when the com
pany would inaugurate sale of Its grant
lands suitable to fruit growing and
agriculture, he said but a small part
of the lands are adaptable for that pur
pose, and that they are in small areas
scattered through the whole. He said
reports are being made regarding the
lands, but that it is imposHlble at this
time to say- when they will be placed
upon the market
That Mr. Harrlman Is better disposed
toward central Oregon than ever be
fore cannot be doubted. He spoke fa
vorably of every part of his trip, and
admitted that conditions had improved
very much In the last two years. He
has followed the extraordinary program
of taking three weeka out of his sum
mer to devote the time to the region
from Klamath lakes to the Columbia
river.
At Pelican bay, where the party was
camped, he and his sons had some great
sport with rod and gun. They caught
many of the big speckled trout for
which that region Is famous. Mr. Har
rlman landed a six-pounder with an
eight-ounce rod a feat that has In
spired the greatest men In history to
rejoice that they were alive and well
enough to go out fishing.
Much Benefited by Trip.
That he has received much physical
benefits from the trio as well as mental
Inspiration Is also apparent. His small
well-knit figure Is more active, his eye
brighter, his race a neaitny reddisn
brown, and there is something more in
his manner a frankness, sympathy
and Rood will that men acquire in the
desert, and often lose In the marts of
trade.
He spoke of the great pleasure his
two .boya are having on the Oregon
trip. They are now in camp near Bend,
and will continue their sports until the
last moment within which they can
cross the mountains to Ashland and Join
their father on his way south tomorrow.
On the subject of ocean-carriers he
spoke regretfully of the condition of the
steamer service between Portland and
San Francisco, and said:
Vessels to Be Purchased.
"We make mistakes in our business,
as others do, and are not infallible. It
Is our Intention to purchase two steam
ships for this run. We had determined r
to Duiid two snips. The plana were
leady for two modern vessels, and they
would have been under construction by
mis time, nut we concluded tnat the
need could be met more quickly by pur
chasing vessels ready luilt It has
proved to be very difficult to buy the
right vessels, and so we ar temporarily
without the proper facilities'."

aaamrarfast Oraat Event
The saengerfest of the Norweaian
United Singers of the Pacific coast waa
a brilliant suooess. Two concerts yes
terday, afternoon and evening, were at
tended by fully 2,000, and more appre

The proarams were arranged bv Pro
fessor Carlo Soerati. who also con
ducted the large chorus.
Slgnor A. De Caprio of Portland con
ducted the orchestra, which appeared
with splendid effect in the heavier
choruses, such aa Qrelg'a "Land Sight

latter a descriptive composition heard
here for the first time yesterday.
It was rendered so well that by re
quest it was repeated at the close of
tne evening concert Madame Norelll,
the Swedish soprano of Portland, won
the audience from the very outset and
received an ovation after the last num
ber. She sang an aria from Verdi's
'Travlata." ''Solvelar'a Sonar." tha
Charmlnir Bird" and Llarht-"ITontad

Tbe Chorus Competition.
Mr. Carl Venth. vollnlst. and Dr. Emll
Enna. the latter of Portland, also re
ceived well-deserved applause and both
responded liberally with catchy encores,
Mr. Vehth playing, among others, Bind
ing's new national anthem of Norway.
A large percentage of the numbers on
the program were by Scandinavian com
posers. The chorus numbered about
ZOO voices, and the individual slnaina-
societies did good work in the friendly
competition. The Eureka and Astoria
singing societies were popularly con
sidered tbe star performers, but the de
cision of tbe Judges haa not yet been
announced. This will be done at the
business meeting to be held this after
noon, when the place of meeting for
