Harriman, son of the late E. H. Harriman, famed in the world of railroading- and finance. This is not the first visit of the young Mr. Harriman to this state, but is the first in his ca pacity of chairman of the board of directors of the Union Pacific railroad. In that office Oregon has fresh interest in Averfll Harriman, for the Union Pacific dominates trans portation in eastern and northern Oregon. "The visit of the younger Harriman recalls the great contribution of his father in western railroading. After the panic years of the 90's when the Union Pacific and South ern Pacific passed into receivership, Harriman gained con trol of these roads. His organizing genius, his insistence on efficient operation, his rebuilding of the properties physical ly laid the foundation on which these great systems operate today. He was foiled in his effort to combine the two sys tems, but he brought them to the point of cooperation in the handling of traffic. Oregon has felt at times that it suffered from the break down of the Harriman plans, state line was completed. The changed situation has defer red into the indefinite future further extension of railway mileage here or elsewhere in mileage has been decreasing for are abandoned. The main lines the major burden bearers of the country. The flow of traf fic will increase before many months and the railroads will share the general prosperity of the country. While the state pays heavy rives large patronage from them. They are heavy consumers of lumber for ties, freight cars, structures. When they are out of the market as they have been largely for two years, the effect is felt in the lumber trade. Many authorities be lieve that the rails will show recuperation this year. If they do, they will immediately enlarge their purchases because maintenance has been deferred much longer than is advis able. Oregon welcomes the visit from W. A. Harriman, and hopes that his knowledge of the country will make him sym pathetic with the needs of those districts which his line serves in the great Oregon country.

(AP) A crowd estimated by po lice at 1,800 gathered at the ar mory hero tonight from various parts of Jackson county at a meeting called by the Medford post of the American Legion to protest again.it what it described as "vicious propaganda" against county officials. By a standing vote the partic ipants adopted a resolution en dorsing all appointive and elect ive officers in the county. Tho meeting was understood to be an outgrowth of a recent at tack on District Attorney George A. Codding. County Commission ers Ralph Billings and R. A.

Cheers and booes greeted speak ers, most of whom were members of the Southern Oregon Bar asso ciation, under fire by Banks for several months. Only one former service man spoke.

Boise of Salem, ia rear ranging books and papers re moved from his office after the fire in the old white corner building, Court and Commercial streets, accidentally discovered a communication that must have arisen out of a state-wide scandal during the 1878 session of the legislature. ' V Judge R. P. Boise, his father. was then chief Justice of the Ore gon supreme court. The old com munication, penned plainly, leg ibly in long hand, has evidently lain between the covers of a hook that was owned snd used by Judge Boise, placed there for some reason about tho time It was written. The communication reads: " 'Salem, Or., Sept. 23rd, 1S7S. Hon. H. N. Gates, Chairman of the Committee to Investigate the Books, Acts snd Management of the Oregon State Penitentiary, and Members of the Committee Generally: Gentlemen: On the 21st of March, 1S77, I handed to Governor Grover'a private secre tary, Mr. H. H. Gllfry, my resig nation as superintendent of the Oregon state penitentiary, to take effect as soon as the property be longing to the state in my charge could be turned over to my suc cessor in office. On February IT, 1877. I handed to S. F. Chadwick, acting governor, through his pri vate secretary, as the law directs, a full and complete report of my management and condition of that institution from Sent. 1st. 187; ending Feb. 17, 1877, show ing the amount of money that had been expended and 'for what pur pose, and the number of convicts received, discharged and pardon ed. As yet my report has not been handed to tho state printer, as the law directs. I have inquired of Hon. Secretary of State R. P. Earhart if my report was oa file in nis omce, wno informs me that after searching for it he is unable to find same. I would spectfully ask of your honorable committee that you make such la quiry as yon may see proper in regard to the missing report.

In conclusion, permit me to say that I hope your investigation will be thorough, and everything correct in the prison management for the last two years. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, W.

Watklnds was one of tho old time war horse of the democratic party. He was a great friend of Governor L. F. Grover, and worked loyally and effective ly for the electioa of Grover to tha D. S. senate by the legislature of 1878. Governor Grover resign ed the governor's office to take effect Feb. 1. 1877. in order that he might be in Washington March 4 to take his seat in the senate. That left the office of governor ia the hands of S. T. Chadwick, seo retary of state, under the system that then held, to the end of tha term for which Grover was elected. S Watklnds did not like the set up that would follow under Chad wick, and so handed In bis resig nation as superintendent of the prison, March SI. to take effeet quickly as it was noaslhla. Watklnds was a maker of har ness and saddles la Salem, n aided in starting a newspaper here, to fight tho battle of his faction of the party. Ia a quarrel over political controverslea taat then raged, he shot S. A. Clark, editor of The Statesman, la tho clothing store of Jim Dalrymple, in aaiem, ana severely woaaded him. Clarke sued Watklnds, in Circuit Judge Boise's court, for a urge sum- in damages, bnt lost the case.
