Keen disappointment wns in store
for 200 Pendleton people who as

day at noon today to get a glimpse of
Becrelary of of War William H. Taft
and party, who were scheduled to
pass on that train.
However, nothing definite about
the movements of the secretary had
been given out except that he is ex
pcted to speak Jn Portland tomor
row night and while It was thought
he would be on train No. 1, no one
had received any Information on the
subject.
The depot platform was filled with
eager spectators who crowded close
to the train In an effort to get a view
of the big secretary, who, as an "echo
of Roosevelt," Is scheduled for the
presidency. When It was announced
by Conductor Frank Coykendall that

Sacramento, Cal., Sept 5. E. H.
Harriman, 'railroad magnate, stopped
over hre tonight long enough to de
liver a -stirring talk to the National
Irrigation congress, in which he told
how e came to take control of the
Union Pacific, Central Pacific and
of the attitude of his organizations
in the matter of irrigation and forest
ry. Mr. Harriman and Governor Cham
berlain of Oregon, president of the
congress, engaged in a mild debate,
the railroad man taking Issue with
the remarks of Oregon's chief execu
tive. Harriman said that when he sug
gested to his associates east of the
Mississippi that they take hold of the
Union Pacific they regarded him as
being almost out of his senses and
asked what he was going to do with
the great desert to be traversed.
""I told them of the possibilities of
IrrlgStlon," said Harriman, "but they
replhj.Vthat that would come In an
other generation, not In ours. I had
to go in alone, and, perhaps, some of
them now regret that I did not use
more force and persuasion to have
them go along with me.
. Continuing, Harriman said that his
organization controlled much timber
land In Oregon, but that It was hot
being sold or the timber cut, but be
ing caved for future generations.
Harriman referred to the work
done in improving the Union Pacific
wild said It was necessary to secure
control of the Central Pacific and Im
prove it likewise, otherwise trnrfle
would be choked up at Ogden. He
Closed by saying he hoped the people
ot the west would not consider hi.
organization selfish and added that
everything was done to develop the
west.
ner narnman resumed his seat,
Governor Chamberlain, referring to
the Oregon forest lands and their
preservation, said the people wanted
something done for present genera
tlon and not for the future.
liiinilierlulii Wanted to Know.
"I do not want to get Into a dls.
cnssion witn Mr. Harriman," said the
speaker, "but I would like to know
how many acres of the original grant
have been sold by the railroad at a
price in excess of that fixed by the
grant. I do not think companies
should be permitted to hold such
large grants. I would like to see
Mr. Harriman build Into Oregon and
Invite him to do so,"
Harriman, replying, said there was
little Inducement to build Into a coun
try which was so thinly populated
as Oregon. He referred to Oregon
as a fine state, but called attention to
the fact that shoveling of snow
would be required for several months
out of the year.
He promised, however, that, "when
times became better and the credit of
great organizations was re-established"
he would build a road Into Ore
gon, whether tt paid or not.

crew when it was learned that there
was a disappointment in store for the
Taft admirers there.
While nothing definite is known of

It will pass through Pendleton to

three hours late, bringing It Into this
city at 3:15 tomorrow morning.
