General Manager J. P. O'Brien of the
O. R. & N. took occasion this morning
to emphatically deny the truth of a
rumor that the Harrlman forces now
at- work on the Deschutes rnllroad had
been ordered withdrawn. .The report
was first heard yesterday and gained
considerable circulation. It was to the
effect that Julius Kruttschnltt, director
of maintenance of the Harrlman lines
had telegraphed Mr. O'Brien an order
to call In the men now at work on
the Deschutes and give up the construe- !
tion of this line.
"I cannot understand how the rumor ;
started, but it has gained considerable I
circulation," snld Mr. O'Brien. "How- ;
ever, It is absolutely false. I have
received no such Instructions and we'
hnvo. between 1100 and 1200 men ati
work In the Deschutes now."

PRESENTS FIELD
FOR STOUEfl
"The new Portland Union storkvards
will be the greatest boost for stockmen
In this part of the northwest that has
ever been given these men," Is the op
timistic view of Professor J. A. Craig,
Oklahoma, who has been judging the
horses at the livestock exposition. "I
came to Portland two years ago from
Ohio to locate, but the livestock market
was so unstable and conditions were so
unfavorable that I went to Oklahoma."
The new yards, he said would make a
definite market, and one that stockmen
could rely upon. He commended highly
upon Oregon as a great state for the
breeding of draft horses, and predicted
a great future In this line. Professor
Craig1 Is a national character In his line
of work, and will judge the horses next
week at the Seaitle exposition.
