Tacoma, Wash., June 2. The report
tbat the II 11 and Harrirnnn interest?
may reach an ireement whereby they
will coo.erat' in the bniiding of
double track down ihe north bank of
tbe Columbia Uire? is not irmerally be
lieved lie-e by railroad men. llarri
man'a title to rights of way on the north
bank is nowhera clear, save at the
Celilo portage road, and that could he
condemned under the detile and canyon
act.
"The defeated may surrender," said
prominent railroad man today, one
too, who bas been in tbe thick of the
north-bank fight, "but he cannot offer a
compromise to tbe disadvantage of the
victor. Harriman can't block the
north-bank line now being built by
Hill. Completed, it wilt shorten the
distance between Portland and Spokane
by five or six hours. Harriman thor
oughly understands how serious a
menace that is to hie interests. He ii
moat apl to improve bis own line to
meet the competition and retaliate by
shortening the journey between Fort
land and the S mod cities.
"But he cannot compromise on a
doable track down the north bank.
Why? The Northern Pacifis bas al
ready surveyed that route for a double
line."

As eoon as Special Prosecutor Ileney
gets through with tbe letterbook trial of
Binger Hermann in Washington, it is
expected that he will come to Portland
and resume the trial of important cases
pending there.
It is not expected that the Hermann
cases in Washington will ke mueb
time. Now tbat the dilatory tactics of
the congressional defendant have been
put to a corner, and the case is schedul
ed to come to trial before tbe 10th of
nest month, it is expected to fk)ih it in
little time. The government's evi
dence in the letter-book case u believed
to he compact in form and tittle time
will be taken up in placing it before the
jurv. The case is unlike the- long con
spiracy cases heretofore tried.
District Atto'ney Bristol has said that
it is the policy of tbe covernntent to
complete the land fraud casea between
now and fa 1 to c ear the docket. This
means that the federal court house will
be tbe scene of ureal activity soon.
Many important cases are pending
tril. Among tbe notables in official
rank to stai d the shafts ot Prosecutor
Heney and Bristol are Binger Hermann
on the Oregon conspiracy indictments ;
former United Sta'es Attorney John II.
Hall; 8iates Senators F. B. Mays.
George C. Brownell and Iiobrrt A.
Booth. Besides these there are manv
men of prominence in the state and in
the east, mostly indicted by the crand
jury recently adjourned.
Terror will aain strike the hearts of
the timber grabbers when the federnl
grand jary is called into action next
montb.
According to a dispatch from Port
land, United States District Attorney
Bisttl bas receivtd a telegram irom
Frauci J. He 'ey. f pecri! prosecutor in

against Binger Hermann, involving the
alleged destruction of 30 letter press
copy books hi longing to the general
land office, W'UilJ come up for trial at
Washington, D. C. not eailier than
June 5, and not later than June 10.
Mr. Heney expressed the opinion that
