NO COMBINE
SAYS REID
BUT THCRC IS ROOM FOR ALL
The Ten Miles af the Portland an
Tlllama.b Road Will Be Cemplet
ed Within Thirty Days.
The lollowing is from Monday
evening's fortlaad Journal and
looks good on paper. We hope it
is true, and that the road will be
finished as stated. There is no
doubt about the line being built,
but continued delay forces people
to loose faith in the people now be
hind the project:
E. h. Lytle has no connection
with the Portland. Nehalem &
Tillamook railway," said William
Reid today. "No negotiations
have been carried on between the
company and Mr. Lytle, excepting
that conferences have been held
upon the subject of a division of
rthe territory comprehended by the
project of our company.
"Four routes have been surveyed
between Portland and Tillamook
bay. We have believed that there
is room tor two railways to that
point, and we have been willing to
agree with Mr. Lytle to take one of
the routes and allow him to take
another and both proceed with
work, with no antagonism of any
character.
. ' ROOM FOR AM. LINKS.
"The possible tonnage to be de
veloped in that region is so enor
tnous that there need be no quarrel
between roads projected, we are
not pursuing a 'dog-in-the manger'
policy; such a policy has already
been detrimental to this state.
There is room for all and we have
not the slightest disposition to ob
struct any other company that
might be formed to construct a
line into the Nehalem country.
Mr. Reid is the projector of the
Nehalem road. He built the origi
nal Seaside road from Astoria along
the coast south from the mouth of
the Columbia river, now a part ot
the Astoria & Columbia river rail
road, and also the Sheridan branch,
now a part oi the Southern Pacific
system.
t "It has been Incorrectly stated,"
said Mr. Reid, "that our contracts
call for completion of the first ten
miles from llillsboro before Decem
ber 1 : the contracts call for comple
tion before December 31, and the
chief engineer, Mr. Davis, tells me
the work can be done easily within
thirty days from today. Much of
the bridge work has been done and
some of the grading. We can car
ry out the terms of-the contract
and the expectations of the London
bondholders are to be met."
SAYS HAfchZHAN IS FIGHTINO ROAD.
Mr. Reid alleges that the Harri
man interests have employed ob
structive tactics to prevent the
consummation of the Nehalem com
pany's plans by cabling inaccurate
statements to London.
"But we have received word
from our London people," said Mr.
Reid, which indicates that they are
not deceived, and we are confident
that we will be able to carry to
completion the plans lor our road
and that before long we will be
hauling freight and passengers in
to our city over our line."
The Nehalem company claims to
have received from the Harriman
people a proposal to give them an
exclusive tonnage agreemeut with
a connection at llillsboro.
"We rejected, and shall reject,
all such offers," said Mr. Reid.
"Our plans call tor a connection
with both the Southern Pacific and
the Northern Pacific for entrance
into Portland, and we shall never
consider any other arrangement.
The idea Is to have the two con
nections to give shippers the option
of routing over either the Southern
Pacific or the Northern Pacific, so
as to prevent the control of the
traffic from passing into the hands
of either of those roads."
The first ten miles now under
construction is from llillsboro
northwest to Roy's Junction. The
surveys of the four routes show
that the maximum gradient wi
be 2 percent; most of the distance
the grade is not more than 1 per
cent. The distance from northern
route, which is looked on with the
most favor by the company, is
ninety-seven miles: via the Sheri
dan route, which tnere is some
talk of building by the Southern
Pacific, the distance is 120 miles.'
The cost of construction is said"
to be not more than $25,000
mile lor tue entire line equipped
and ready for traffic.
No Judge Yet.
. The federal judge question is
slill unsettled, although Senator
Fulton has returned from Washing'
ton, where he went a few weeks
ago to discuss this and other affairs
in which politics in Oregon is con
cerned.- in lact, it now appears
certain that the judgeship proposi
tion will remain in cold storage un
til the latter part of this month, at
least, when Senator Fulton will re
turn to the national capital
"I do not expect an appointment
until after I return to Washington,"
said the senator this morning
"President Roosevelt did not have
time to discuss the matter while I
was there and said he desired to
take the matter up when I re
turned."
Who will you recommend when
you see the president?" was asked
Senator Fulton laughed and de
clared he didn't know. Further
more, ne said those whoever gave
out the information that the tide of
prospective appointment had surged
first around Judge Bean, then
around Judge McBride, and lastly
around judge Wolverton, knew a
good deal more than he had ever
been able to find out. He also
says he does not know the reason
for the delay in making the ap
pointment.
"What about the appointment of
B. Hegardt to the Roseburg land
office?" was then asked.
Oh, I think he will be appoint
ed. I think the president will find
him a very capable and desirable
man, after investigation," replied
Senator Fulton.
What's the matter with Secretary
Hitchcock?" was asked, in view of
the Secretary of the Interior's op
position to Senator Fulton's recom
mendation lor a working mate tor
I. L. Eddy in the land office.
"I have no desire to discuss Mr,
litchcock," was the terse answer.
The senator said he would be at
the republican "love feast" next
hursday, but declared he was un
prepared to state whether he would
make a speech. Portland Tele

Tomorrow, the closing day of
the exposition, will be Multnomah

was so perfect that the joke almost
worked its own way. Mr. Morris
perfumed the specimen with cinna
mon and proudly exhibited it as
the "cinnamon cantaloupe," the
latest propagation from Wizard
Luther Burbank's gardens. The
sell took, and the superintendents
of the various county exhibits in
the Agricultural building came
over to examine the latest freak.
The cantaloupe was properly en
tered in the exhibit and the porno -
logical expert passed judgment
upon it knowingly- as the latest
thing in horticulture. All of which
goes to show that the wise ones
are often most easily tripped.

BUILDING ROADS
BY CONVICTS
PORTLAND TO THE SOUTH LINE
Will, it Is Said, Take the Work af the
Convicts Out af Competition
With Free Labor.
The benefits to our state from
the possible outcome of the present
movement set in motion by the re
cent appointment ot a state road
commission are inestimable. This
commission was provided for by
the passage of the last legislature of
Senate Concurrent Resolution No.
31, which provides for a committee
of five to examine into the feasibil
ity of constructing a macademized
road from Portland to the south
line of the state, the work to be
performed by convict labor. The
commission held its initial meeting
September 20, affected its organi
zation, and already has committees
at work on the practical progress
of its business. It is bound, how
ever to report on the feasibility of
the proposition, and will render its
findings upon this point as truly
and honestly as upon any other.
This is a work that should receive
the encouragement and assistance
of every citizen of Oregon. Noth
ing so greatly improves a state or
a country as good roads, and no
state has half enough of them.
The very nature ofthe question at
once places it beyond the contests
of partisan politics, and nothing
can constitute a reason for opposi
tion to the movement save a possi
ble objection to the location. On
this point it should be remembered
, tfaat above and far beyond the tech-
,nical premises ot the resolution,
which has brought this first com
mission into existence,"and which
provides . for a certain stretch of
road, is the question of practicabil
ity ot employing the convicts on
the roads. If it is practical to
build one good piece of sufficient
extent to demonstrate the success
of the venture, it will be practical
to keep the convicts employed in
road-buiiding tor all time. The
principal argument in favor of the
scheme is that it takes the work of
the convicts out of competition
with the free labor of the state by
creating an entirely new field for
their services which, except for
the question of the best possible
employment of the convicts them
selves would not be created for
many years at least. The ques
tion of good roads is a paramount
one all over this nation, but no
where more than in Oregon.
Pause and make a hurried estimate
of the amount of time utterly lost
in traveling over poor roads as
compared to good ones, and how
long would it take the energy so

The old Reliable Corner
wasted to make every legal road an
everlasting pavement. A few
years iu any populated region, and
in no conceivable public improve
ment could the money be better
spent. The Labor Tress takes
this opportunity to urge every one
of its readers to help make this a
live issue henceforth. Talk it up
on all occasions. As soon as you
find a budding candidate for office
ask him how he stands on this road
question and specifically upon the
matter of so employing the con
victs. We would respectively call
the attention of the press of the
city and state to this matter and
urge that they give the subject
thought and then discuss it in their
columns as they conscientiously
think it shoud be discussed.
Let us all constitute ourselves a
joint commission in this matter.
If you think the ventnre unsound,
say so and give your reasons. If
every dissenting argument can be
thoroughly offset, and a unanimity
of public support secured such as a
work of so genetally beneficial a
nature as this should have, it is
quite conceivable that the result
will be a permanent character of
internal improvement fot the state
such as no similar outlay has ever
accomplished. It is of paramount
moment that this road commission
shall report favorably upon the
feasibility of this plan, and it is up
to the citizens of this state to help
show the commissioners that it is
feasible. Portland Labor Press.
"Ben-nar"
Klaw A Erlanger's colossal production
of General Lew Wallace's iinpreeiiv4
Bibical romance "BenIIur" startling
in its Immensity can be considered as
second in comparison to the Lewis and
Clark Centennial exposition as a feast
for the eyes. This great play, which
has commanded the attention ot the
Pop. of Rome, King Kdward of Eng
land, President Roosevelt, Archbishop
Ireland and other prelates, rules and
important pentonagas of , tb. world,
aroused the interests of the entire states
of Oregon and Washington, when staged
in the city of Portland two years ago.
And now the announcement thai it is
again to be enacted in that city at the
Marquain Grand Theatre for six night
performances (exclusive of Sunday)
starting Thursday, October 19th, will
no doubt cause many to journey there
to witness it the same as before.
In order to accomodate the out-of-town
public Calvin Heilig, manager of
the Marquara Grand Theatre, will give
his personal attention to all orders for
seats sent through the mail, if accom
panied with remittance. The scale of
prices governing the engagement will be
$2.00 and $2.50 on the lower floor and
fl.00, $.5C and $2.00 in the balcony.
All railroad lines entering Portland are
to make low excursion rates, so by In
quiring of the railroad representatives,
full information concerning the same
can be ascertained.
