It Is a sreat point rained in the railroad wizard's long cherished ambi tion to control me rauroaas or tne United States and with the pacific coast a solid Harriman front with eastern connections made by the O. R. & N. and Southern Paclfio to the 'Harriman; holdings of the east it would seem that the colossal aream oi tne magnate is about to be realized. The terms by which Harriman uses the Hill tracks into Seattle are made nubile as a "contract" But now from authentic sources cornea the informa tion .that Harriman managers wm . save the aDDolntment of train dis patchers, division Superintendents and under ornoers on toe line Between Portland and Seattle. This report wae not denied by General Manager J. P. O'Brien, when he was Questioned. Harriman Hade Good Bargain. The fact of appointments about to be made and the announcement that .both railroads will pay. for improve ' rnent en the Northern Pacific track In addition to the rental to be, paid,, has brought the conviction that Harriman did just a little more than lease the. Northern Pacific tracks for a period of yeerr using . .aa ... persuasion , tho, threat that be would build his Awn line as a competitor for all classes of business , were hot bis demands acceded More than a month will pass before Harriman trains will be running into Seattle, In the' meantime it. becomes a matter of conjecture as to whether Portland will pass from the dignity of a Harriman terminal to the inslg nlf icance of a way station as the through trains pass by here. Inci dentally it has become a question, if the fear of the conjecture be realised, if the new Union depot for which Port land people have long been begging would not become a matter ' for do- cislon in the far distant future. , - I CASE LOSES INTEREST " Richard JaA Bollinger, secretary of the Ulterior ,1s .due. to .arrive in - Portland today. .
