PRICE TWO CENTS en twains and Krws STANDS FIVE CENTS Pi TWO STRIKES BELITTLED BY BALD will Disorders Are Only Mosquito ) Bites Which Will Be Gone To- morrowr Says S. M. Vauclain; i Sees Prosperity Already Here. Coal - and rait - strikes, are only "mosquito bites" which Irritate us to day but will be tone tomorrow, in the opinion of Samuel M. Vauclain, presi dent of the Baldwin Locomotive works, who arrived. today on a survey ef West ern business. - --,'.- Vauclain Is an ! "apostle of . pros perity," a "peptomlst" and. one of the world's greatest salesmen. He has moved up to the top of the locomotive buildings business from the bottom, w here he, started as a shop laborer, and he still. works 20 hours a day and needs two assistants to work 10 hour tricks each during his working- day. CONFLICT OF IDEAS "Only 'when' men try to force their Ideas down the throat of other men , when they are not prepared to swallow such ideas does trouble occur." .said Vauclain. m discussing - the railroad strike af the Chamber 'of Commerce luncheon, at- noon today. : " ' "The railroad workers are refusing: to follow the mandates of their gov ernment. You : won't Tind a better class of men than these on strike, but they have their' own ideas. ' They will come around to the right Ideas eventu ally. o If business men refuse to be come worried and do not try to force over their Ideas the railroad strike will toe settled In a peaceable manner. - The employers should have confi dence In their workers. There are too many barriers to the worker . today. unyioyers snouia not compile a book of rules as thick as the Bible and have their men sit up sll nljht read ing them for fear of losing their jobs the next day because they violate some one of those rules. '"When any trouble Is brewing find ' out what is wrong with yourself first. It always takes two to start a fight." GET FOREIGN TRADE --Vauclain discussed th need-for for eign trade for the country,' but ad yised the business men not' to send 'the office boy, but go themselves to see whether new business may be ob tained. 'He advised that Pacific coast Business men should ' pa; ' particular attention to Mexico. " He also cau tioned Oregonians not to allow their 'representatives at the national capital to "put any frills over on them," . but not to immediately begin "panning ' them" as soon as they start their work. Perhaps it was -Decause the 'inspira tion of Vauclain spread tar the crew of the Southern Pacific passenger " tram that the party came into the Union station- 10 -minutes ahead of time and long before any of the reception committee 'was present to meet him.

DENIES T SIDE DEAL Chief Engineer Boschke Says His Road Is Not Seeking Property, but Intimates That Milwaukee Line May Be Buyer Denial that the Southern Pacific Railway company has any Interest n the land options and purchases being made on the east side along Front and First streets and intimation that the Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul has been the prime mover in these deals was made today, by George. W. Boschke. chief engineer of the South ern Pacific system, who -arrived today from the South on. an inspection trip. "If the Southern Pacific was mak ing these purchases you could bet your bottom dollar that they? would not be passing up i an opportunity to blow their- horn - about spending money i in Oregon in View of their present situa tion, in regard to the Central Pacific divorce decree," ' said Boschke. HABD CASH PAH) ' "Actual hard cash has -been paid for a great amount of the east -side property optioned. - Business men - ac cused me today of having backed: the options and claimed that they had deeded away their property, "The reasonable.- line of thought? to follow on these options is that who ever is behind these purchases It is someone that has money.. Portland should feel excited to think that id development .has caused enough at tention rto it to Justify : such Invest ments. .' "It is reasonable to think that the Milwaukee line Js seeking an entry to this city because it recently was reported to have . entered a traffic agreement with the Union Pacific to permit, the Union Pacific lines to en. ter Seattle, surely tne jauwauKee ex pected to get something in return and that something may have ,: been, an agreement for use of Union Pacific trackage to enter Fortiana. INSPECTS TIES . Boschke came - here to inspect ties which have been creosoted for the Southern Pacific at St. Helens and to Inspect the new creosotlng plant at Wilmington,' In which the Southern Pa cific has made an investment 01 000. The new mill started operation three weeks ago. In the future all ties and timber needed by the .Southern Pacific com pany will be purchased in Oregon" and the Southern Pacific will abandon It redwood mills tn California. -- ' The reason for the purchases in Ore gon are that the redwood ties and tim ber are not hard enougn to stand up under heavy traffic. This year the tie and timber purchases In . the state amounted to 14.500,000 and next year : Boschke Bald this amount likely would increase. , ' - r " , t J." StTIT STOPS WORK ', . All of these ties . will be creosoted before use and 60 per cent of this business will be done at the Wilming ton plant, while. the other 60 per cent will be dona at the new Oakland creosoting" plant at Oakland. ;- s; . " In regard to . development work in Oregon, Boschke said that development work was stopped by the suit against the Southern Pacific ownership of tne Central -Pacific nine years ago - and that new development work --could not be started until that suit had been Bet tied.
