| “When Children Dream—and Wake." s
at
Down through the ages has come the goldeu spirit of Christmastide.
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

Lu', to appeal to the legislature of Ore

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

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

company. The director» also made a

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
