more work on their hands than "they can

NEW YORK. April 26. Developments
In the ralrload situation on the Pacific
Coast continue to form a topic of ln
terest and discussion here among finan
cial and transportation magnates,
Mr. Harrlman's present long trip of In
Bpection and the already apparent- re
suits therefrom are scrutinised closely.
It has. of course, been accepted as a cer
tainty that the whole power and influ
ence of the Hill-Morgan syndicate will be
steadily exerted to throw all Immediate
and auxiliary business to the benefit of
Puget Bound, the Northern Pacific ,con
tributing its part principally to Tacoma
aBd the Great Northern making chiefly
for Seattle and Everett.
Now, It Is also positively declared that
In 'a similar manner the great Harriman
transcontinental lines are concentrating
on the plan of directing the bulk of all
their business to3an Francisco aa, an
outlet. It Is known that, according to
orders from Mr. Harriman, somewhere
In the neighborhood of $25.000 000 has
been set aside for the purpose of building
cut-offs and lowering grades on the lines
between Cheyenne and Ogden, and be
tween Ogden and San Francisco.
This is understood to mean the begin
ning of a systematic effort to ultlmutely
cut down the running time between New
York and San Francisco to about a four
day schedule.
It is reported also that Mr. Harriman
has ordered the Immediate extension of
the Oregon Short Line from Salt Lake
City to Los Angeles, there connecting
with the Southern Pacific, giving the syn
dicate another direct line to Southern
California.
The rumor Is still In circulation that
the consolidation of the Oregon Short
Line and Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Company will be accomplished soon, and
that both systems will be operated as
one, with headquarters' at Salt Lake.

The most damaging evidence is expect

there is an agreement among the pack

ENTHUSE
SALEM, April &. The reception that
W. i. Furnish, the next Oovernor of Ore
gon "that won't be," as one ot.the by
standers put It, received when he arrived
In Salem' on last evening's train was not
exactly what -the perfervld eloquence' of
the stump orator would term a "wild
outburst, of enthusiasm." But very few
people were at the trahi to welcome him
less than TW1! and of these more
than half were men holding office In the
different departments of the state gov
ernment. k
State Secretary ' Duribnr. State Super
intendent Aekerman, -Mr. Lee and Dr, J.
N. Smlth were there to extend the glad
hand, but the whole tenor of the wel
come was frosty In the extreme. After
shaking the few hands that were pre
sented, the candidate was driven to the
Willamette Hotel, where during the
evening he met a number of the adher
ents of - his faction.
The Young Men's Republican Club also
held a meeting to perfect organisation
during the evening, and after Its con
clusion adjourned to the hotel to swell
the crowd that was there engaged In fe
licitating their candidate.
This morning Mr. Furnish paid a visit
to the State Capitol to view the prem
ises where he fondly hopes to reign su
preme, and to. extend the glad hand to
those of them who It Is hoped will cast
a favorable ballot on June 2.
On his return from the Staehouse Mr.
FurnlHh received further callers at his
hotel, and at 2 o'clock left for a visit to
the penitentiary and other of the state
institutions. He will leave for Portland
on the afternoon train at 4:31.
Although approached by members of
the press during his visit to Salem," Mr.
Furnish declined to make any expression
of his views' other than to say that he
was satisfied with the outlook and be
lieved he would be elected along with the
other nomlnes of the party. It Is not be
lieved that his Salem visit has rtrength
ened his cause materially In Marlon, for
the general impression seems to be that
he is not one of those people to para
phrase the expression recently used by
the Oregonlan, with reference to the flat
salaries proposition "that the boys can
warm up to."

occasion Of the national convention to be

There will likely be no objections to
