In reply to a letter from Governor Chamberlain asking? Urn for a definite statement on the Oregon railroad situa tion, E. H. Harriman has Bent the fol lowing telegram to tho governor; "Hot Wells.

This till holds good to you or them. "E. ti. HARRIMAN." By this message Mr. Harriman places all responsibility for the speedy con struction of the Deschutes branch upon the shoulders of Mr. O'Brien, general manager, and Mr. Cotton,' chief counsel, of the Oregon lines. There are some portions of the tele- fram, however, ' that need interpreting, he first sentence Is regarded as a - bit of facettousness en the part of Har riman to assure the governor that it ' would not be necessary to Drove that Harriman had guaranteed the building of the Jjesohutes line, in nis- letter Governor Chamberlain asked - concern ing not only the Deschutes but the east . and west line across central Oregon. It is scarcely believed however, that - Mr. Harriman meant that construction had been authorized for both these lines. Tert of the iett.r. The Coos Bay matter Is entirely out side of anything mentioned in the gov ernor's letter, which was as "follows: "Mv Dear Sir: Last August I ac I ... copted your very cordial invitation to visit you. at Pelican Bay, and to go over Jtli you, Mr. J.- P. O'Brien and Mr. Fred Stanley the railroad sltua tion in Oregon in connection with the needs of the state In the , mattor of additional transportation . facilities: 1 , After dsenssing the matter with you and the gentlemen .named at consider able length, it was conceded on all sJdP-s that a railroad should be extended into .. central Oregon,, either over the moun tains to form a connection with the jSoulnern Pacific or from the north to form a connection with the O. R. & N, company. - . . . " '"When the"' time -arrived for me to leave you and after you had agreed that you would, extend a line lno central : Oregon, I "told you In substance thai, this question was a burning one With the people of the state and desired you .. to give me permission lo main some public statement in reference to the re . suit of my conference with ypu, Recalls Sis Promt.

'Upon ray return to the valley.

' "As yet nothing has been done either to extend, the line from the O. R. & N. Co.'s lines south, or from a point on the Southern Pacific; line east to some point In central Oregon. On the contrary, it Is generally rumored that - men con nected with your system are at vari ance with each other as to which, route ought to be adopted, with the result that nothing appears likely to be done in the very near future.

It will De so amended thai the commission alan will not take effect, if the charter a ratified, until two vears after its adoption. All the other amendments, however, will become effective next July. The council took this action on the motion of Cellars, who believes that It would not be fair to oust the council-, men who may be elected in June, before they have had a chance to show what, they, can do. voting In defianoe of the expressed citizens, and heedless of the denuncia tions showered upon them by members or me charter commission ana otntsr taxpayers of the city, five councllmen destroyed all chances for the tHibmis- sion of the amended charter to the peo ple at a special election .in April or adhering to the position tbey fopk at the last council meeting, when they voted against letting the voters exercise their will. Not only did these counoHmen prevent the submission of the general charter amendments but by. voting no they fle laved, the building of the much needed high bridge aerosa the river. The bond issue for this can not be voted on now until June. The ordinance amending the referendum laws was introduced at the request of City Attorney Kavanaugh at the urgent request of the residents of Alblna and adjoining districts on the other side of .the river, who are anxious to have the important question of traf fic across the river settled aa soon as possible. i , Councilman Beldlng took the floor to deliver another bitter attack on the new charter. His remarks were principally aimed at Judge Henry McGlpn, who Is a recent address declared that Balding and others vere opposing the amend ments to the charter because if they were adopted by the people the "pie counter at which the oouncilmen have been feeding so long" will not be ao- Councilman Cottell rose, as usual, to explain why he voted. 10 a more than ordinarily verbose declamation he an nounced that lie was eo Jealous of the people'sr rights and was so afraid that thev will not be protected In event the amended charter was adopted that he would be a candidate for office again. Councilman Heppner explained that ha voted no because he does not think a special election necessary Council man Concannon and Councilman Dun ning took the tame view. SAYS DRUGGED HI D. C.

He lias visited HlQr neapolis, Spokane1, Seattle and Tacoma, and has noticed the vast changes throughout the northwest during tha past year. When in Portland last April Hr. Fish made a statement to the effect that the Paclflu northwest would stand the ef fect of the panic better than any othep section of the country, and is pleased to note that he was right in his prediction. This is canal) y true of the Studebaker concern, as their northwest business proved very satisfactory, both in value of trade and in collections. "It Is too early to predict for this year," said Mr. Fish, "but there il nothing to warrant a pessimistic view. In fact everything looks optimistic." Mr. Fish doesn't believe that the re cent action of the United States Steel company - regarding prices of steel is going to be a serious menace to busi ness, hut rather that It wUMnduce ac tivities among large consumers of steel. He finds on talking with these people that the cheaper material Will offset any other effect.
