HARRIMAN IS DEAD
Victor In Financial Battles Loses
to Grim Reaper.
HIND REMAINED CLEAR TO LAST
Secrecy Preserved Until Stock Mar
ket Closed Time Misstated
Whole Family Present.
. Arden, Sept 10. Edward H. Harri
man, the greatest organizer of rail
roads the world has ever known, met
the only lasting defeat of bis active
life at the hands of death. Secluded
in bis magnificent home on Tower
Hill, he succumbed to an intestinal
disorder yesterday after a fight against
disease that will rank for sheer grit
with his remarkable struggles in the
financial world.
The exact time of his death is known
only in that limited circle of relatives
and associates who had shielded Mr.
Harriman from all outside annoyance
during bis last illness. The time was
given out as 3 :35 p. m., but Mrs. Mary
Simon da, sister of the dead man, said
last night that Mr.JHarriman died at
1 :30 p. ni. Whether this apparent
discrepancy has any bearing on the
current belief that every effort was
made to lessen the influence of the
financier's death on the New York
stock market is problematical. But it
is significant that the time of his
death, as officially announced, was just
35 minutes after trading had ceased on
the New York exchange.
Mr. Harriman died peacefully and
to the end his brilliant mind retained
its clearness. After a relapse on Sun
day be sank slowly and soon after noon
yesterday there came a relapse that
marked the approach of the end. His
wife, two daughters and two sons, who
have been constantly with him, assem-
bled at the bedside and a carriage was
hastily dispatched for Mrs. Simonda,
whose home is three miles from the
Tower Hill home. Mrs. Simonda en
tered the great silent home in time to
be present at her brother's death. She
joined the wife and children, who,
with Dr. W. G. Lyle, of New York,
and Orlando Harriman, a brother, and
the nurses, formed a group at the bed
side.
Mr. Harriman will be placed at
rest in the family plot at the little
graveyard behind St. John's Episcopal
church at Arden. He will rest beside
his eldest son, Edward H. Harriman,
Jr., who died 22 years ago, soon after
the family first came to Arden. The
services will be held at 3 :30 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, and, it is under
stood, will be strictly private.
Edward Henry Harriman will go
down in history as one of the most
spectacular financial geniuses, most

Edward H. Harriman received his
early education at the district school
and supplemented it bv a two
course in a boys' school under church
auspices, where the sons of clercrvmpn
paid practically nothing for their edu
cation. Edward Henry Harriman began his
career as clerk in a broker's office on
Wall street. He showed no unusual
ability and for many years gave no
promise oi ms later brilliant develop

a pioneer in the California gold fields
and married an Indian woman, from
whom he afterwards separated, making
an allowance for her maintenance. She
was not provided for in his will and
the contest followed at his death. The
suit was compromised for $100,000.
Suffering Follows Floods.
Monterey, Mexico, Sept 10. Be
lieving that the people in the outlying
districts are facing starvation and
death as a result of the raging waters,
several expeditions are being formed
here today to go to their relief. A

to buy himself, in August, 1870. a seat
on the New York stock exchange.
Young Harriman married early in life
and married very well. His wife was
Miss Mary Averell, of Rochester, N.
Y., whose father was a capitalist and
a successful railroad man.
For a number of years the broker
firm of E. H. Harriman & Co. did a
thriving business on Wall street, spec
ulating with its own funds and execut
ing commissions for the Vanderbilts
and other wealthy capitalist clients. It
was not until 1883 that E. H. Harri
man came actively into the railroad
field. At that time he had become
known as a capitalist, one of the few
who had gathered together a great for
tune in the ten trouble years between
1870 and 1880. He was credited with
having in his strong box a fair list of
stocks he bad picked up at extremely
low prices during the various panics.
Along in 1883 he was elected a di
rector of the Illinois Central railroad.
Whether Mr. Harriman entered the
railroad field in accordance with an al
ready matured plan of his or whether
his accidental acquaintance with rail
road matters suggested to him the
enormous possibilities of acquiring the
control of large railroad systems, is
not definitely known. At all events,
Mr. Harriman 8 entry into the direct
orate of the Illinois Central railroad
marked the beginning of his career as
a manipulator of railrorad stocks and
reorganizer of raiload systems which,
in the course of 10 or 15 years made
him one of the greatest railroad kings
ever known in the United States and
placed him in control of more than 54,
000 miles of water transportation lines
and of railroad lines of an estimated
length of 27,000 miles.
The railroads included in the Harri
man system were of sufficient mileage
to reach more than two and one-half
times around the globe. They com
prised the following:
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Ore
gon Short Line, Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company, Illinois Central,
Georgia Central, Baltimore & Ohio,
Delaware & Hudson, Erie, New York
Central, Pere Marquette, San Pedro,
Lcs Angeles & Salt Lake, St. Joseph &
brand Island, St. Paul & Northwestern
Harriman was in addition the head
of four steamship companies, one of
which operates steamers across the Pa
cific. He was also in the directorate
of the Wells Fargo Express company,
the Western Union Telegraph company,
the Colorado Fuel & Iron, The Guaran
tee Trust, and the Equitable companies
or New York, the National City bank,
and dl other corporations.

most of the papers either refrain from

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
FARM SELLS FOR $106,500.
Ashland Tract, Cultivated Since 1853,
Brings Fancy Price.
Ashland One of the bippest real es
tate deals in the history of this section
was the sale of the E. K. Anderson
farm, five miles northeast of Ashland,
one of the oldest and choicest farms
in the Rogue river valley to G. A.
Morse for $106,500. Mr. Morse is re
cently from Louisiana, and he has ex
tensive investments in this section.
The farm disposed of consists of 305
acres, the sale price being $350 an
acre. Of the trat sold 43 acres are
in apple and peach trees from two to
seven years old. Fifty acres are in
alfalfa, the remainder being devoted to
general farming. All of it is choice
fruit land favorably located, and the
entire tract will eventually be turned
into fruit acreage.
Mr. Anderson has farmed this par
ticular tract of land since 1853, and
upon it grew the first wheat ever
milled in this part of the state. Some
years ago he purchased home property
in Ashland and has only lived on the
farm a portion of the time, a son, G.
N. Anderson, having charge of the
i lace.
APPLES AT TOP PRICE.
Hood River Union Closes $160,000
Deal With Eastern Buyers.
Hood River Joseph Steinhardt, of
the commission firm of Steinhardt &
Kelly, the New York firm that bought
the output of the Hood River Apple-
growers union last year, has set the
apple buying ball rolling by again pur-
hcasing the entire crop handled by the
union at a gross figure that will total
over $150,000.
According to Mr. Steinhardt and the
officers of the union, the announcement
of the sale will cause a quick scramble
for box fruit in other Northwest sec
tions, as they have been waiting for
the signal from Hcod River in order to
get a line on prices.
The sale includes the purchase of
60,000 to 70,000 boxes of fancy fruit
or about 125 cars, and it is claimed
that it will be the biggest deal made
this year by one firm. The fruit is to
be especially packed for Steinhardt and
Kelly and will be labeled with a new
label just adopted by the union and an
effort will be made to send one large
shipment in a solid train of refrigera
tor cars to New York.
Would Hurry Allotments.
Klamath Falls Complaint is made
of unnecessary delay in allotments of
the Klamath Indian reservation. The
matter is in the hands of Rev. H. F
White, who began the task two years
ago. At that time it was announced
that it would require not more than six
months to do the work. When the
Indians have received their lands there
will be left over about 200.000 acres
of fertile farming land, stock range
and timbered tracts. If these lands
are opened for settlement it will mean
an enormous influx of people into the
Klamath country and will greatly in
crease the resources of this section.
Milton Growers Ship Apples.
Milton W. E. Gibson, of the Sibson
Fruit company, of Chicago, is in Mil
ton shipping about 100 carloads of
prunes bought from the Milton Fruit
growers' union. The price being paid
is $32 per ton. Last year the crop
was sold for $15 per ton. A large
torce oi packers bas been employed in
the sheds for two weeks and a larger
force of pickers has been engaged in
gathering the fruit. The orchards
owned by C. L. Stewart, C. W. Ray
and John M. Brown, near Crockett, are
good illustrations of the prune indus
try here.
Rich Strike at Gold Hill.
Gold Hill In the Gray Eagle mine
development has opened the mine 70
feet below the first tunnel and struck a
body of ore which shows values from
$6 to over $300 per ton. A ten stamp
mill is now on the way to the property,
the mill having been started after the
main stockholders and diretors bad ex
amined the ground carefully. In the
workings a 13 foot vein has been found
so far and still the foot wall has not
been reached.
Drill for Oil Near Roseburg.
Roseburg The Dillard Development
company has received a drilling outfit
to be used in drilling for oil near Look
ing Glass, about 12 miles west of this
city. Indications of oil have been
known in this vicinity for a long time.
Although the machine is rnnnhla nf
going down 2,000 feet it is expected
on win be reached at less than that
depth.
Crop Prospects Good.
Klamath Falls Recent rain through
out the entire Klamath country have
put the fan range in good condition
and stock is doing well. The moisture
did some damage to the hay crop on
the ground, but the loss is slight
Grain was not injured, but harvesting
will be a few days late on account of
the rains. The grain yield will be ex
ceptionally good.
Gold Beach Mines Active.
Gold Beach Considerable activitv is
being manifested here in the copper
mines. An English syndicate has re
cently purchased the Shasta Costa
properties, paying $12,000 for them..
The syndicate has also bonded the
Deans-Crook holdings for $20,000. The
bills are alive with prospectors.

HARRIMAN IN TOMB.
Services Attended Principally by Em
ployes of Estate.
Arden, N. Y., Sept 13. Through
the quiet aisles of Ramapo woods, tho
body of Edward Henry Harriman was
carried yesterday from the great house
be never lived to see completed, and
laid in its last resting place on the
Arden hillside.
The rulers of Wall street came from
New York to pay their last tribute,
but the most prominent part in the cer
emony was taken by the men who knew
bim best as a country squire and mas
ter of the great estate, which covers
43,000 acres of hill and valley.
His general superintendent his mas
ter carpenter, his master mason and
the managers and assistant managers of
his dairies, his farms and his trotting
stables bore his coffin. The funeral
was private and only those who were
personal friends of the family and had
received invitations from Mrs. Harri
man were admitted. The out-of-town
party arrived at Arden at 3:15 p. m.
on a special train.
The first service was holy commu
nion, celebrated at 10 a. m. by the
Rev. J. Holmes McGuiness, at the
Harriman home, on Tower Hill. At
11 o'clock there came a public memori
al service at St John's church for the
employes of the farm and parishioners,
who, on account of lack of space, were
unable to attend the funeral service
later. Mrs. Charles D. Simons, Mr.
Harriman's sister, her husband, two
daughters and Orlando H. Harriman, a
brother-in-law, were the only relatives
present
Elaborate precautions were taken to
preserve the privacy of the afternoon
service. Several score of employes,
aided by a number of policemen, guard
ed all roads over which the funeral pro
cession passed and kept watch at inter
vala of 20 yards around the patch of
woods which includes the Harriman
burial plot.
The casket one solid mass of lilies
of the valley and green vines with an
immense bunch of crimson roseB on top
was carried to the altar by eight
bearers in black and wearing black
skull caps. The regular'funeral service
was conducted by Dr. McGuiness, as
sisted by Rev. G. Nelson, archdeacon
of the Cathedral of St John the Divine
in New York. A male quartet and the
choir of Grace church, New York, sang
"Abide With Me" and "There Is a
Land of Pure Delight," Mr. Harri
man's favorite hymns. The Bervice
lasted but 20 minutes. Then the bear
ers carried the caaket to the burial
plot, 100 yards up the hill. There was
no room inside the burial ground for
more than 15 or 20 beside the mourners
and the two officiating clersrvmen
Others stood on the road outside and
looked over the stone wall.
Several hundred Harriman emnloves
and their families stood with bared
heads outside the church during the
service.
