v Harrlman was jnot a developer of the
country, of new regions, as Hill
has been; he was slow to enter new
"territory, and wanted It to develop
to the paying, point before he in
vaded it.Vwhlle Hill built first, know
ing that development, business and
profits would follow;. Harrlman was
a grand speculator and manipulator
rather than a constructor and-de
veloper;1 yet his work assumed and
attained such a colossal, magnificent
scope and sweep that In connection
with the splendid, resistless onward
: and upward . march of. progress It
could scarcely fail to be largely In
accord, and It became more so, ap
parently during the last year or two
of Mr. Harriman's life.
Whether the great consolidated,
unified system of railroads that he
conceived and worked for will ever
materialize It is impossible to say,
but such an outcome, under govern
ment regulation, seems not improb
able. Taken all In all, balancing all,
the : country's sober verdict would
probably be that Mr. Harrlman was
not, after all, an "undesirable clti
xen," but rather one who worked, in
net results, for the country's good
mora than anybody I can think of.

strength from an industrial standpoint
and 1 am pleased to find this city very
much more of a manufacturing center
than I had supposed, and I don't believe
there is any place, in the country where
the employes are treated with greater
consideration than here.
I had the opportunity of going through
some furniture, leather, and ready to
wear garment factories yesterday, and
was especially impressed with the fact
that the very latest modern machinery
was In use, that competent superintend'
ents were in charge and that the em
ployes in all cases looked healthy and
vigorous, while without exception there
was anple light, air and ventilation.
In a vjslt to the Portland Woolen
Mills at St Johns, I was especially
struck with the wide distribution Of the
products made, being shown shipments
or high class woolens going out all
over the United States. I was aston

The Journal In a former ispue of The
Journal is an opinion advanced by a
guest at one of Portland's hotels. He
comments On the fact that no one can
go down to the city square between
Third and Fourth streets, without hear
ing curses and abuse against the gov
ernment, and says that the place would
seem to be a breeding plaee for 'crime.
He therefore proposes that instead of
as now having the sheep on one side
and the goats on the other, the whole
place should be reserved for ladles and
children, or else closed altogether. Now
I rather agree with the stranger within
our gates, that conditions are somewhat
peculiar. It is a notorious fact that no
person with a spark of sense vf or de
cency can sit down in the part of the
square set apart for the goats, without!
having his ears asm ilea Dy tne Diooa
curdling threats of the anarchist or the
vulgar slang of tne vicious aegenerate.
I would sanction tne motions maae oy
the visitor, and if none of his proposals
ean be carried through, I would suggest
that a 12 foot high board fence be
erected around the northern half of the
park. Over the entrance should then
be placed some appropriate name, "Hell
Kitchen" would probably do, or If this
is too strong. It might be called
'Knockers' JRetreat." Then let whoso
ever has any respect for what is ordl

speech or manners, beware less he en
