The center. while passing or snap

keep his head and shoulders as close

Portland, June 22.-Though the rest

settled over the railroad situation as re.
CARDS Hill and Hartman in the North
west. the bristling eagle of war Is cir.
cling above Central Oregon. where the
agents OF Hartman and Gould are al
ready subtly contestlng for advantages.
Departure. this evening # the Harri-
man officials who are to take the initial
steps towards the building of an add-
tional 100 miles of road to the 70 miles
extending from Bggs to Shaniko and
known as the Columbia Southern,
marks an epoch IN the history of Cen
tral Oregon, and means that the first of
the two roads to tap that territory, the
Hartman and Gou'd lines, is about to
be started, and the second cannot be
long delayed. That Harriman's sudden
awakening and determination to push
the Columbia Southern farther into the
interior is the result of Goud's activity
in Oregon and the fear that the Western
Pacific was being mapped out to cross
the sections which Hartman will now
divide.
Gould has had men in the field so
long that Hartman fears the results to
be born fiom that report. Ralroaders
see 10 the new movements an opening
for a fierce transcontnental and con.
struction war which will be centered
principally in Oregon. The eendin9 Of
Hartman representatives into the Cen
tral Oregon region is to be regarded in
but one light, and that is for business, |
while the same spirit has actuated the |
operations of Gould, and if all reports
and indications are to be given credence
it will be but short time until the lat
ter shows his hand
Harrimau's 8 inability TO float a So
900 900 git-edge deal recently, as com.
pared with the ease in which Gould
sold $4,000 600 worth of bonds for the
Western Pacific. gives an insight into
the standing of the two in the financial
world. Gould's ability to battle with
Hartman is undenied and in fact he is
said already to possess the supremacy.
Authentic reports from the East are to
the effect Harrimans credit is not 80
great as formerly, and while he has a
private fortune OF large proportions, it
is not his intention to risk it IN mo,
roads.
In building the Columbia Southern
he merely accepts bonds for the extern
sion of the ssme as he now holds which ,

On Paying Basis.

The Lewis and Clark exposition is
ahead of its schedule.
1t has had larger attendance, in
proportion to the population of Port
land and vicinity. than any other expo
sition ever held in America.
As the end of the first month draws
near the officials themselves are scarce
ly able to believe the figures spread be-
tore them for comparison. They dem
onstrate that the fair is on a paying
basis right now, with it's three heaviest
months still to come.
Colonel Henry E. Dosch. director of
exhibits, has taken the trouble to pre-
pare statements as to the attendance at
Portland compared with that of other
f,irs he has visited. The results are
astonishing. The computation shows
that for the first month the attendance
at the Lewis and Clark show is 200 per
cent greater than was the attendance at
any previous exposition, considering
the population within a radius OF SEQ
miles,
The daily attendance here thus far
hss averaged something like 1000,
ranging from 1000 to nearly 40 900,
passes included
Going back to Chicago, for the first
four weeks the attendance ran between
1924 and 3O,92O, except on one special
day, when the total was $1,000. This
included passes, and at least 40 per
cent OF the admissions were free.
At Omaha's exposition the attend.
ance for the first six weeks never was
higher than 5000 on any day, and once
it touched the modest total of $500. T.
figure that is as yet unknown to Port
laud's project.
AT Buffalo, the first months daily at
tendance was between 5000 and 80 900.
and Charleston shows only 1000 to
