of the Northern Pacific Railroad, ar
rived last night, and has been in con-
sultation all day with the heads OF de-
partments. To reporter of the Asso-
ciated Press tonight he said negotiations
were pending for the lease of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company, and
that definite action would probably be
taken in the matter soon after his re-
turn to New York. When asked as to
the scope and life of the proposed lease,
he replied: "All can say is that il is "a
permanent lease or contract, and like
that term better. will add one word
more. Everything that belongs to the
Oregon Railway d Navigation Company
will be under the control and manage
ment of the Northern Pacific. That ~
enough, and all that | care to make
public at this time. When affairs are
contaminated or ready to be put IN
operation we may not withhold them
from the public attention, but until
they are la a mature condition il would
be very unwise and unsafe to speak of

leading to the stretch. As the multi

the famous horse shout of greeting
swelled forth, which was taken up by
groups in other parts of the grounds,
and a. the noble animal turned into the
stretch, and passed down in front of the
Judges stand. the applause rose in deaf
ening cheers. The circuit of the track
was made at an easy gait, and after
one ar two more turns Bithers sipnified
his intention to go an easy mile to warm

the stable to be rubbed down. Soon
after came the great event of the day.
