Harriman Visits Oregon
OREGON this week has had a visit from W. A. 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.

By a standing vote the partic

Their spirits drenched by stormy

turned out last night to attend
counter-mass meeting called by
the local American Legion execu

alleged attempts of L. A. Banks,
editor of the Medford Daily News,

"poison the minds of Jackson

Cheers and booes greeted speak

of the Southern Oregon Bar asso

several months. Only one former

About 2,000 persons gathered
on the courthouse steps at a mass

R. P. Boise of Salem, ia rear
ranging books and papers re
moved from his office after the
fire in the old white corner

communication that must have
arisen out of a state-wide scandal
during the 1878 session of the

Judge Boise, placed there for
some reason about tho time It

reads:

"n S
B. F. Burch succeeded Wat-
kinds as superintendent of the
penitentiary. 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

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

him. Clarke sued Watklnds, in

The "high handed outrage"
complained of by Watklnds was
by no means the only one of the
old days that was committed es
pecially in legislative proceedings.
There were many such. The
writer can recall a considerable
number. This sample one will
serve as aa illustration: In the
nineties, Rev. I. D. Driver, noted
pioneer Methodist preacher, was
a member ot the state sonata, Aa
important bill was missing. The
loss caused a great furor. A mesa
ber inquired where the bill was.
Answer: "In hell, as far aa we
know," by a member.
"I move that Senator Driver be
