PORTLAND VISITS THE
GENTLEMEN
THE CAPITAL
IS YOURS
Salem Welcomes You as the Har
bingers of a New Era in the
Northwest, and a United
Oregon
A special train lft Portland nt Men
today, carrying olghtyfeMr ef Pert
ls&J's representative business men,
who lire to make a lour ef Western
Oregon as far south as Ashland. The
object of the trip is expressed en the
title page of a very pretty itinerary,
prepared by the Southern Pacific, en
which they, the ImilneM wen, extend
the following greetings
11 To your vnileye ef the "Willamette,
the UmiMun nnd the Itegue, to your fir-
cIa1 mountains and. green vales Inter
lacisl, Portland sends greeting.
"We come, business men from your
gateway city, Oregon 'a gateway te nil
the world, to olnf hnntia at heme with
you, the limine men of the great in
terior.
'Wo wish to know mere of the
great interior, the magnlfleent cornu
copia of Western Orrgen. which for
moro than half a century has poured
lis riches through Portland into the
lap of tho earth.
Wo wish to know ye beyond the
buMnpffi Acquaintance that mere Inter
change of truffle brings. In friendship
we visit you who did so much to create
and maintain that beaeen light of the
Northwest the Lewis nnd OUrk Itxpo
i'ir, Your Interests are our Inter
fte; we wlh to know how we may
s-r them and, above nil, we wish
tUt personal friendship and under
standing that will enable s to engage
ia effective team work en behalf (
tie greater and United Oregon."
It is an event of more than paaalag
Ir'frcit, for it is undoubtedly a fact
M'U a goodly portion of Portland's
iMl-f-ss men nre not acquainted with
Uf wn fair state of Oregon. They
know that Salem, Albany, Itugene nnd
Itoseburg, Grant Pa, Medford, Ash
land nnd hundreds ef other thrifty
towns deal with them and pay for their
goods. They know in a desultory eort
ef way, that come where south of Port
land n thousand rivulets of trade meet
and mingle, pouring Into Portland's
harbor a continuous stream of wool nnd
hops, wheat and hay, and all the varied
product of farm and fleck. Yet, of the
great slate they know little. Most ef
them, even In their visits to Dan Fran
cisco, take a steeper, leaving Portland
In tho evening, nnd seeing only a
glimpse ef the Itogue river valley. It
Is time this sheuld be changed, ami all
Western Oregon extends to tho com
ing visiters a welcome, sincere, frank
nnd heartfelt, nnd tho moro heartfelt
because It sees In the present visit tho
forerunner of closer relations, a better
understanding of mutual needs, nnd tho
awakening ef stato pride. It means
the exploiting of Oregen, Instead of
Washington awl Idnho, ami a knowl
edge of the unsurpassed opportunities
thatllodermanln forest and field and
mine. No man with red blood in his
vein can look upon the fertile fields
of Oregon, can grasp the beauty of glea
and grove, of wide sweeping prairie, ef
balm-fringed streams, without a thrill
of dellghti nor can he see the sweep of
foothill, Ike timber.eovered ridges lift
lag stop on step, up to the blue sum
mits of the Cascades, from which the
snow-peaks lift in silent and imposing
grandeur, without realising that na
ture lavished here the surplus of her
rlohes and her beauty. There has been
too mueh of bickering, too much of
fault finding between sections, too
mueh of a desire to find out what our
neighbors needed, nnd then knocking
it. Yet, nil the time we nil know that
Portland oannot grow nnd prosper
without tho valley feeling tho good of
feeto in somo degree, nnd wo know
that everything that bonefllr) tho val
ley, Is of direct benefit to Portland.
In spite of this knowledge, petty
jealousies have earned mutual distrust
and mutual neglect of onch other's in
terest.
For this reason, and for mnny others,
the visit of our Portland brothers is
well-timed nnd welcome
They will go homo imbued with tho
idea of Oregon's grontnees, and with
n prldo of gtnto thnt will bo nn impoor
tant fnotor in getting us all out of
the old groves, nnd which will cause us
nil to stand together on tho common
plane of "nil for Oregon."
The train will nrrivo nt tho orosslng
ef Commercial streot nt a few min
utes after 7 o'olook, nnd tho distin
guished visitors will bo met by n com
mittee of Sflloni'd businees men nnd
oseerted to tho Willamette Hotel,
where Introductions will take place.

out.

Hylo to bo coiled as n witness in tho
jnsuranse investigation this morning, n
largo crowd, inoluding many ladios,
was present. Seats usually occupied
by witnesses and attorneys woro given
to women. Hyde, ncoompanied by bis
nttornoy, Untcrmoycr, entered nnd np
ponred unconsoious of tho nttcntion ho
nttrnotcd. John McGuinnoss, comp
troller of tho Equitable, was tho first
witness. Hughos rend a numbor of lot
torn from Bquitnblo oftlclnls to A. 0.
FiolJs, oxproslsng disapprovnl of cor
tnin legislntlon pending nt Albany.
Hydo was oallod. There war a stir
in tho room as tho young financier was
sworn. Asked first nbout bis connec
tion with tho Hqultablo, bo dcolnrod ho
waa educated by his fatkor In tke life
insurance business, nnd was brought up
to understand that be would succeed
bis father.
He entered the service in the fall of
1868, as second vice-president, and felt
qualified to fill tho position. Ho de
clined a salary when ho entered into of
fice. In 1000 he accepted a salary of
10,000, which continued to lPOt, wkon
It was increased to 176,000. When his
salary was Increased he was made
chairman of tho finance committee,
with increased duties.
Ho Insisted that In both eases tho
salary wan offered, nnd inoroased with
out a suggestion from him, but on the
volition of tho members of tho oxoeu
tivo 4ommittoo. Ho could offer no ex
planation of tho testimony of Depcw
before Hendricks, In which tho senator
was uncertain -whotlier Hydo had naked
for the Increase, but thought bo did,
and thought ho asked moro than Alex
ander. Hughes nsted Hydo if he would
hnvo continued nt $75,000, if $100,000
had been refused. Ho answered:
"Yes, because I did not bollevo I could
get ns much olsowhoro."' The galleries
laughed.
Hydo said he hnd beon given author
ity to rcooivo money from tho onshiar,
without any vouchor othor than bis
own. Ho beenmo a director in tho
Ifquitnblo Trust Co. previous to 3D01t
nnd vioe-presldont lator. His salary of
$000 was increased to $18,000. Ho
olnimed mueh oredit for the building of
tho trust company, nnd disoussod syn
dionto oporations. Tho Squire account,
which was part of tho "yellow dog
fund," was tho subject of inquiry
which Hydo could not explain.
Those accounts had not been ex
plained nt nny tlmo. Ho told of tho
"K. W. Aloxnndor," fund which wns
used to cottlo suits nnd purchaso stock,
and for politlonl contributions. Hydo,
who is courtly, nffnblo And nt caso
among womon, nnd in tho ball room,
was uncomfortable on tho stand among
mon, in a drama of his own making. Ho
appeared liko a sehoel boy bofoto bi
matter, expecting to be sent to a cor
nor in dlsgraeo.
Hyde said whoa the banking depart
ment called for tho repayment of $048,
000 by Alexander, Thomas D. Jordan
made up what he eeuld, ami "be paid
$111,000 himself.
