Christmastide—when hearts grow larger, and the fingers that necessity or habit has bent tightly over the pocketbook loosens involuntarily. Christmastide—when children dream and wake—and, dreaming or waking, long for one tiny glimpse of that dear little old man with cheeks like red roasted apples, and eyes like stars, with a pack that holds all that is beautiful in this world of ours, with a heart that is teuder enough and great enough to care for the child of the satin-world, and the starving, homeless, hopeless waif of the streets alike—dear, blessed, glorious old Santa Claus ! s a work-a-day world ; but to all of us conies a time when the scales drop from our eyes, when we realize our ambition to earn, to surpass, to rule, is but a pitiful result of our feverish twentieth century training ; that there is nothing more beautiful in the world than the desire to bring happiness to other people. Gifts at Christmas time— gifts to our friends, and to those who have battled with tlie world’s whirl and come out losers.

E. L vtlk ." William Reid of Portland, secretary of the original Portland, Nehalem & Tilla mook company, who is now in New York, has supplemented Mr. Walker's letter as follows : ’ New York City, Nov. 24, 1906 — The Editor of Oregon fourrial, Portland Or. H. Melvill Walker, attorney here for London, Share & Debenture com pany, and other syndicate« in London, i has called on *me at tny hotel here, re garding certain statements ns to him which appeared in the Journal of Octo- beo 30.

But I will say this for him : Bis London people always repeatedly refuse to sell that rail way company's bonds without —first, either a traffic agreement with th* Harriman lines for interchange of freight cars at Hillsboro, Or. ; or, sec- ! ond, an act of the legislature of Oregon compelling trunk lines to receive and transmit to destination in Oregon the cars of branch lines.

It agreed that we resume our efforts to procure this traffic agreement. *' After protracted negotiations to thia end with officers of llarriiuan lines at Portland, Chicago and New York, we failed again, and nothing seemed left Lu', to appeal to the legislature of Ore gon. To me it seemed a hopeless task, but it was Hobson's choice, and 1 took it. Accordingly, I went a second time to New York, visited Mr. Walker, and suggested as a substitute that we ask the Oregon legislature for compul sory traffic ci iinections, not for our line alone, but to all blanch lines built to trunk lines in Oregon hereafter. I submitted to Mr. Walker, a noted coun selor at law of New York, a copy of uiy proposed Oregon legislative bill, which he approved and declared consti tutional, and forwarded same to his London people and their English attor neys. They in reply gave me an obli gation that if I got that bill pained ill Oregon, entitling all branch railways therein to have compulsory.connections, the Ixmdoit people would immediately thereafter float and sell 100 miles of Foitlaml, Nehalem & Tillamook Kail way bond» at 85 cents, without Mr. Harriman's truffle agreement. 1 replied, assuring mu I waa, and tin Che money was certain, now that the Oregon legislature had pessed'tlie com pulsory traffic connections bill. We named the Allas Contract & 8u| j.ly company (after I had seen and dis- cussed with them terms] of contract). Mr. Walker telegaphed me that Elijah Smith, of Boston, was bitterly opposed to letting any construction contract to them. Why, wo have not found out. "Ou June 22. lust year, Mr. Walker arrived iu Portland with full powers of contract for sale of bonds, and did so contract with the board of directors and executive committee of the Port land, Nehalem 8c Tillamook Railway company. The director» also made a construction contract the same day w ith the Atlas company fdr building 100 miles of railway. Never having been myself a director in the railway com. pany, I had no vote nor acted in mak ing these contracts Contractors iui mediately commenced work, and by utilizing five miles of grade beyond Hillsboro, which I had built in 1893 (and for which grade I have never re ceived one dollar from anybody), the contractors made rapid progress and had the work of construction in six weeks so well advanced that rails had arrived or were in transit from Colo rado. Suddenly, without any notice to tue as secretary, and while Mr. Walker was in London, the Allas Contract & Supply company stopped work and abandoned their contract—not for want of funds or payments due them by the railway company, however, for none w as Jue. It is useless for rue to add more because the public already knows what subsequently happened, and that Mr, E. E. Lytle's company is now in pos session of rights of way and grade, abandoned by the Portland, Nehalem Jr Tillamook Railway company. Yours respectfully, , W illiam R iio . Long Tennessee Fight.
