10 THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1913. SHORTER ROUTE TO GULF AIM OF HILL Contract Is Let for Building o Powder River-Oring June tion Cut-Off. $1,000,000 TO BE SPEN Construction to Be Finished Tbl Tear to Give All-Rail line From Portland to Galveston m Means to Meet Canal Competition. Twohy Brother, of Portland, have cured the contract for building the Powder River-Oring Junction cut-off of the Burlington Railroad tn Wyo mlng. which will provide the Hill eys tem an all-rail route between Port land and Galveston. Texas, and afford possible means of circumventing tb adverse effect of the Panama Canal on the railroads. The contract calls for an expenditure f more than 17,000,000 for labor, ma terlal and supplies. Much of this money will be spent In Portland, where Twohy Brothers maintain their general offices and shoos. Actual construction will start at once In those portions of ths territory that are not Inaccessible on account o the weather. As soon as the snow dls appears the entire project will be at tacked vigorously. The entire contract which Involves approximately 100 miles of track, must be completed by the end of the present year. . Short Route la Aim. Judge John Twohy. head of the com pany. will arrive in Portland today to prepare for the shipment or neavy out fits of grading and track building ma terlal to the scene of operations. Rob' ert Twohy. his son. has been In Chicago for the last few weeks and was pres ent there last week when the contract was awarded. He, too, will return to Portland within the. present week. This piece of track, when completed, will form a new short route from the Korth Pacific Coast to the Gulf of Mexico with every Inch of track owned by the Hill railroads. From Portland to Spokane the route will be over the North Bank line, from Spokane to Bil lings. Mont., over the Great Northern or the Northern Pacific, and from Billings to Orlng Junction, over the Burlington. The present Burlington line extends only to Powder River and It Is the gap between Powder xtlver and uring junc tlon that now Is to be constructed, .From Orlng Junction to Galveston ths route Is over the toiorano & souinern, which also Is a Hill substdary. This line leads through Denver and south of Denver Is known as the Fort Worth A Denver City Railroad. Canal to Be Coped With. By this means the Hill Interests hope to prevent the extensive diversion of transcontinental traffic away from the railroads to the Panama Canal. There is a constant heavy movement of tlra ber from the Northwest to points in Texas and other territory served by the new Una Inauguration of steam hip trafflo between Portland and the Orient will divert a lot of cotton and other products of the Southern states to this port and the Hill offlalals In tend to handle a large part of this business. This new line will enable them to carry It all the way over their own tracks. Plana for this construction have been under way for the last two years. The Hill interests have attached much lm pertance to the project from the start. Although the work entails mucn ex pense and difficult construction, they are determined to prepare for heavy and continuous traffic. The contract calls for a high-class roadbed with heavy rails. Over much of the distance the new road will parallel the Chicago & North western tracks. Northwestern officials jl few months ago offered the Hill roads a contract to carry their traffic for them, but the proposal was re jected. . The fact that the Hill people want an dependent road free from at filiation with other interests Indicates that they consider the new line an Im portant and valuable one. Btesunahlp Line Probable. Traffic experts have figured that the Hill lines will be In a position to com pete with the Panama Canal for busi ness moving between New Tork and other Atlantic seaboard points and Portland by using thla new route. This would Involve the operation 01 a steam ship line between Galveston and the Atlantic Coast, but such a venture might prove profitable Inasmuch as It would develop business lor ran trai lie from which the Hill Interests would derive all the revenue. While this route Is designed princi pally for freight trsfflc. it Is probable that passenger business will develop from It. There Is a fair movement of passengers between Portland and Gulf points and a tnrougn train Detween this city and Galveston Is a possibility. It Is almost certain, however, that through service between Portland and Denver will be Inaugurated from the start. The movement between North western points and Colorado always Is heavy but the Hill lines now are handi capped In handling It by a roundabout iauL Thla will give tnem an exception ally short cut and save about 10 hours In time. CAR COMPLAINT IS FILED East Side Club Applies, to Commis sion for Cross-City 6ervice. The Greater East Bide Club, through I. M- Lepper. Its chairman, has sub mltted to the State Railroad Commis sion a complaint against the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, charging that the company refuses to construct a cross-city line. Mr. Lepper filed the complaint with the State Utilities Commission yesterday. It Is set forth that thla cross carllne is wanted by a large number of citizens and that SO Improvement olubs are back of the movement started by the Greater East Side Club.

A letter was addressed to Fred Cooper, superintendent of traffic, who answered that he had referred the mat ter to his superiors. The railway com pany Is asked to make a survey of the proposed cross line on East Thirty ninth street. HIGHWAY GROWS IN FAVOR Opposition Gradually Disappears, Say a H. I. BowlDv'a Bulletin. That there la now but little opposi tion to the idea of establishing a Pa clifc High-way, whereas there was con siderable feeling against It six months ago, is the assurance made by Henry 1 Bowlby. executive officer of the Pa cific Highway Association. In a recelt bulletin issued by that organisation. British Columbia will complete her section of the highway this year with the expenditure of 18.000.000. according to the bulletin.
