Story of Harriman*« First Parchi»« of
a Railroad.
One morning In the early eighties
Harriman walked Into bis office and
without auy previous warning an
nounced the purcbaae of bls first rail
road.
"Wbere'd you get the money for It?”
asked bis partners.
"Never mind; 1 got it," said Harri
man.
The road was the Sodus Bay and
Southern, running from Lake Ontario
to Stanley. N. Y. It was thirty four
tulles long aud owned two crippled lo
comotives, two passenger cars aud sev
eii freight cant.
“It Isn't even a real good streak of
rust." said a man who looked over It
for him.
Harriman pulled out bis map. He
was studying railroad maps even then.
“It’s got the best harbor on the
lake." be said. "Tlie Pennsylvania
road has got to buy it.”
He started to build a big grain ele
vator and to Improve the track. A few
montila later be disappeared from bls
office for several days and returned
with a check for $200.000. He had
sold his road to the Peiinsylvnniu rail-
road.
"They hud to have It." he said.
“They saw It ns soon as 1 showed ft to
them.”
"But 1 saw It first." be added.—Mc
Clure's Magazine.
Extensive repairs are being made
on tlie National Highway, the fam
ous turnpike connecting the Middle
West with tlie East, and which is al
so known as the Cumberland road
from the fact that it passes through
one of the most scenic parts of the
Allegheny Mountains -Cumberland
gap.
Several of the states through which
this thoroughfare passes are doing
their part toward repairing it—Penn-
sylvannia is resurfacing its part,
and many counties inOhioand Ind
iana are doing what they can to mend
it. Hopes are also entertained by
motorists interested in the promo
tion of good roads throughout the
country that the Federal Govern
ment may yet be persuaded to co
operate with the states in a scheme
for the reconstruction of this pike
all the way from Cumberland, Mil.,
to its western terminus, St. Louie,
Mo., a distance of nearly KOO miles.

laist Monday the leading citizens
of Tillamook City had the matter of
bav and liar improvement under
discussion again, and Hie interest
that was taken in it shows ttiat they
are fully determined that active
measures be taken to carry out
these projects with as little delay as
possible.
This was brought about
in account of a petition being.filed
with the County Clerk calling for an
election to incorporate the Port of
Bayocean, which will embrace the
territory south of Tillamook Ba v not
incorfiorsted in the Port of Tills
■nook.
President Webster Holmes
called a meeting of the Tillamook
Commercial Club at nine o'clock on
Monday morning to confer with Mr.
A. A. Rui'ell, representing the Bay-
ocean interests anti the members of
the Port of Tillamook.
There was
a large attendance of business men
and tlie discussion took up the whole
of the morning.
Mr. Holmes, in
calling the meeting to order, briefly
stated that as a petition had been
filed to create a Port at Bayocean,
that the Club and the Port of Tilla
mook should give the new Port its
approval and they should work to
gether to bring about tlie desired re
sults.
Attorney George Willett made a
motion that the club give the Bay
ocean proposal its hearty support
which was carried unanimously,
and was as follows :
“Resolved: first that we heartly
endorse the proposed new Bay
ocean Port project; second, that we
urge upon the directors of the Port
of Tillamook the necessity for im
mediate action in the employment
of a competent engineer to prepare
plana and estimates for the improv-
ment of Hoquarton Slough and the

third, the issuing of $K*),KM) in

Mr. A. A. Russell outlined what
he thought
the Port of Bay
ocean would do when incorporated.
He said lie was decidedly in favor
of improving what is known as the
Sturgeon Channel, for this would
give a It) to 20 foot channel in their
territory on the bay, or from a point
half a mile from Dick's Point to the
mouth of Hie bay, which, after once
