SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS HOUSES DO SO. AUTHOR HAS HAD LIVELY TIME FOUR LOSE LIVES IN HOTEL SAYS SURVEY 15 BEING MADE P. A. Devers Confirms Report of Activity of Harriman Interests East of Here. Confirmation of the reports of activity of the Herriman interests in Western Idaho and Central Oregon for the probable purpose of ing for a line across Central Oregon to Coos Bay is contained in a letter which J.

Bennett received yesterday from P. A. Devers, a former well-known Coop Bay man who is now located in Portland. At Boise, this activity was interpreted as a bluff or move to shut off the agitation for the state or district aided railway from Boise to Coos Bay. Mr.

Devers writes as follows concerning the matter: "I just got in from Idaho and was agreeably and much surprised to encounter considerable excitement over the action of the Harriman interests in that section. It seems that general current opinion credits Harriman with throwing several surveying corps into the Central Oregon field, starting from Vale, and working towards Coos Bay, with the purpose of heading off possible act ivity under state or district initiative. I do not take any stock in the suggestion that this is his purpose but the fact remains that he has just completed surveys of a water grade cut-off along Snake River in Southwestern Idaho which connects with the present line at or near Ontario, the latter being the junction of the line with the present terminus at Vale, headed for the Central Oregon country to connect up, it is understood, with the Oregon Western (Drain branch) somewhere in the interior."
