Any arrangement whereby tha Milwau kee would operate over the 0.-W. K. A .N tracks would provide for the entrance of trains at the Inlon depot In this city. It Is thouirht that su--h depot service. would ba continued until the MUwaukea buil.lv lis own tracks Into Portland. Although the Milwaukee haa entered Into a Tnlon depot deal w'th the Harrt man roads at epokahe. It ta believed that when tha road enters Portland It will seek a st-iUoa site Independent of all other roais. and If this Is done t would not ba surprising to saa the site so selected on the east side of the river as near aa possible to ast Morrison Street. All Milwaukee onV-lals who have vis ited Portland In tha past year nave spoken vary favorably of placing the passenger depot on the Kaat Side, and If thta la done the freight yards, too. would ba established there. Fast Side Site rwsired. While tha report that the company haa been negotiating for the purchase of the Inmaa-Poulsen mill site has been denied repeatedly. It Is believed that the com pany ta desirous of obtaining possession of this property. It would afford ample terminal facilities for both freight and passenger trarr.o and give adequate space on the waterfront. Location of a terminal station east of tha river would ba a departure In Port laid, but many railroad men predict that tns time Is not far distant when other roads will s-k Ilka facilities there. A site near East Morrison street. It Is pointed out. would ba quite as accessible from the hotels aa the present L'nlon station and more convenient to a great portion of tha residence district.
