Harriman's Peal With
Northern Pacific : Gives
.- Him. Controli of Coast
From Jlexico to British
Columbia. '..
Wbw . Harriman begins running:
Southern Pacific and Lnlon Paclfio
trains Into Seattle he wilt have com
- pleted his . lone campaign for control
oi macule coast trarnc, Railroad men
In a position to know declare that the
... Harriman Influence - will ba supreme
. from British Columbia to far riown In
Mexico. Hi will be the rare pleasure
or dictating policies, prices ana terms
to me people ana to otner raiiroaas,
. 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. , -

....Detective H. H. Hawley has been
working on the Case of Campbell for the
last two weeks and has accumulated
a 1 mass of evidence which tends to
show that the man is not only insane
but dangerously so. His chief object
in writing letters to the officials has
been to complain "against system of
"wireless peraeoutlon" which he feels
going on all 'around, him as well as to
protest against the clergy In various
prominent Portland enureses.
Several- pastors t have requested that
Campbell be watched on account of his
tecullar actions In church, It Is stated
hat a short time aeo he threatened to
strike one of the visitors (at a church,
whom he had never seen before), and
It Is thought that his dislike for certain
prominent clergy may indues him to
do them bodily harm. .: --
. Claims to Save Lost Fortune.
The man told Detective Hawley that
he had lost . a million dollars In the
east through having an invention stolen
from him and showed a model of an
other Invention, a bracket for carpenters
and painters working on houses. - He
claims to have another erreat invention
locked safely in a trunk, but refuses to
reveai tnis secret wnicn ne says will
revolutionize the world.
He claims that ha la In Aana-ar nt

The man was arrested yesterday on a
