THE MORXTJfG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1912. MYSTERY WRAPPED SEASIDE TRACTS MAESHTIELD GIRL, IN TROUBLE HT SAN TEAKCISCO, MAKES NO APPEAL FOR AID. IN SPOKANE TRIAL SOLD TO RAILROAD WEEK-END OR SUNDAY BY THE SEA NO. Attorneys -Thrice Approach Entire Cartwright Property Bench on' Evidence Kept From : Jury. . Taken by Agent Who Keeps Name Secret. HARROVIAN'S HAND IS SEEN Land Bontrht In Vicinity of Saddle Mountain and Flan Proposed for National Park Within 40 Min utes' Ride of Beach Resort. ornmp nr.Jiilvfi. (SDeclal.) Th coming- of a Harrlman line to this town within a short tlm was mad more certain yesterday with the sale of two larjre tracts of ground mienasa-iu u used for the purposes of a railroad. Th first purchase was that of the en tire Cartwrlsrht property of over a full section of land imneamraj ouw. Seaside, which Included the entire es tste of the famous Ben Holladay am The purchase was made by a private party, who rerusea ia buuuuu.c ... vhoe interests he was working.

Operations extending- over a period or many months in mis v.uumj. firmly established the fact that a rall- i 1 1 1 Via tnnRtrncted through rwiu "i.i ovuu - Seaside to the Columbia River, but for reasons not yet made Known mere i.o. been no public announcement of the In spite of various attempts at secrecy, it has aeveiopea inai um in jected line Is being planned by the Southern Pacific Surveys are nearly i h a rnnt. having- been irone over several times by parties, only the final checking uy Deing neceiij be fore grading can begin. Members of the many parties of surveyors .who have been here In the past few months have not given any Information as to their Intentions, their employers keep ing their plans even from the survey ors. Only recent purchases of right of way and the obvious Interest of the Southern Pacific In this territory and the Columbia River show the hand moving operations here. "- ' The agent negotiating the recent pur chasm was little disposed toward" dis closing the name of his principal, hav ing evidently been Instructed to avoid publicity In the matter. A statement that he reluctantly made was that he had been accused In Astoria of being, an agent of the Southern Pacific, and that, denial being fruitless, he would let it go at that. When asked to talk on the route of the proposed line he made vague statements, but said that a large purchase, -of property had recently been made In the neighborhood of Paddle Mountain, and that extensive plans for a natural park there had been made. This resort, so he said, would be about 40 minutes' ride from Seaside, on the new line, and would be made at tractive" lh many ways. Being a place of great natural beauty the park would be improved with the construction of a natural lake made by enclosing a branch' of the Necanlcum River. Since the place conld be easily reached from the ooast reeorts, the park is considered a- valuable' addition to the number of advantages belonging to Seaside. Seaside, being Intended as one of tn objective points of th new line, many attempts will be-made to add to the value of the place as a Sum mer resort, nothing to be left undone by which the popularity of Seaside could be Increased. Beside the benefi cial result that would acquire to the railroad, the benefit to Seaside, will amount to a liberal sum. GROWTH OF NATION TOLD Dr. Chapman Arouses Enthusiasm at Tillamook Celebration.
