Limited passenger and freight aerv Ica may be established on tha Paclfla Railway at Navigation Una between Portland and Tillamook November L but It will ba several months before tha new road will ba ready to accept tha heavy lumber shipments that now are ready to move and are clamoring for transportation. Tha first train, bearing a number of officials of tba Harrlman system, passed safely over tha Una Monday, but tha trip was made merely for tha purpose of giving tha railroad men an opportunity of Inspecting tha road, which Is by no means ready for opera tion. Mora than 10 miles of track must ba thoroughly ballasted before regu lar traffic caa be Inaugurated.

Immense quantities of timber now ara being cut and sawed Into length ready for move ment by rail either to Tillamook on tha western end of tha road, or to Port land on the eastern and. Heavy timber trains ara bound to put tha tracks to a severe strain, and tha officials deslrs to have It In best possible condition be fore subjecting It to this usage. Both EL E. Lytle. president of tha company that built the line, and J. P. O'Brien, general manager of tha Har riuian system, which furnished the funds, are eager to put the road Into operation as early aa possible. They have made no definite arrangements for accepting traffic, bat believe that regular passenger and some freight aerv'ce may ba started by November 1. All those who made tha trip Monday were thoroughly Impressed with tha trafflo possibilities on tha entire route. Tha road passes through what Is de clared to be one of tha finest atands of virgin timber In the world. It will take yeara to develop this.
