Purchsse of 80 per cent of the West ern i Pacific, construction of the Des chutes River rtfilroad and the extension of the Burlington to San Francisco and Portland is the ' unparalleled coup' by .which. James J. Hill has accomplished the apparently impossible. That the exclusive hold of the Harrl man railroad systems on the major por tion of the Pacific coaat Is completely broken there can be no further question. The Burlington railroad - system and financial Interests back. of James J. Hill have purchased one half of the stock of the Western Pacific railroad, and today the way is open for entrance of the Burlington Into San Francisco as soon as a connecting link can be built. This Is already under way. X,evty Put In Charge. The first step . taken openly to con trol the Western Pacific Is the placing of Charles M. Levey, of the Hill lines, at the head of the operating department of the Western . Pacific from Salt Lake to San Francisco, Mr. Levey originally came from the Burlington to the North- ern Pacific. He was regarded as one of the strongest men In the Burlington's operating department, and when Hill cast about for a man to take active management, of Western. Pacific- affairs he naturally, chose. Levey, who Is fa miliar with every detail of the . Bur lington's, traffic field and connections, A reorganization by Levey of the Western Pacific's forces means "that C B. A Q. men will be placed In charge of. important posts. , -,; ;; , .5 ...i One half of the stock was the price that the Goulds paid for the settlement of the debts or h western paciriis, and the money necessary for Its completion. With, one stroke Hill thus solved the problem of sending a center shot into the Harrlman stronghold. . :l i - Entry Into Oregon..: . That th Burlington will Immediate ly enter Oregon Is now known by those on the inside.. It will build a connec tlon .between some point on: the Western Pacific in northern Nevada to Lakevlew and thenca push, north to Portland, la pursuance of the plan announced by the Goulds a year ago. While the Western Paclflo already controlled the Nevada, California & Oregon railroad, a narrow gauge line operating from Reno to Al turas. It is doubtful If this line will be used, ss. its grades are f exceedingly unfavorable and Its roadbed, unsuitable for heavy, traffic. A representative of the Burlington construction departmen is already asking . for bids on 60,000 ties to be, delivered at Lakevtew., ' It Is said by good; authority , that Jths BurlThgton will be built into Portland within the next two years.

' . i Buren states he arrived In , Portland Friday evening, and was standing on the street Saturday morning when a stran ger ' engaged him In conversation: The stranger said he was also tourist, and looking for a place to Invest' money.

Three other men were In the room, when Buren and Watson and the third man entered. Buren : states he refused to bet his money, but when they went to a. saloon near by and saw that Wat son had won such a stake, he offered to bet $100. He had IS00 In his pocketbook and when Watson saw this Insisted on bet ting all of it .The bunko man told Buren. that he would guarantee him to double his money and If anything hap pened that he lest, he would make it right. The bunko- man further representee! to Buren that he would leave with him Saturday-evening ' for San Francisco, where Buren lntendell to go. After get ting his money, he and the other stran ger attempted to "lose" their victim, who called for the police and Patrolman C.
