13 V K v K MILWAUKEE LINE NEARS PORTLAND Extension of Tacoma Eastern Will Bring Road Within asy Reach of City. EARLY ACTIVITY INDICATED More Aggressive Attitude Pursued bj Company W'itb. Improvement in Financial and Industrial Conditions of Country. Immediate extension of the Tacoma Eastern Railroad a subsidiary of the Milwaukee Byatem Into the Big Bot tom country and Southwestern Wash ington, plans for which already have been completed, will bring the Milwau kee within easy distance of Portland, ita natural goal in this Northwestern territory. A. M. Ingersoll, assistant to the vice president of the Milwaukee system, according- to advice In the Tacoma papers on Sunday, has obtained nearly all the right of way along the route of the proposed extension. Mr. Ingersoll la the man who bought nearly all the right of way and trackage acquired by the Milwaukee in lt3 Invasion of the Puget Sound coun try, and his activity in connection with the Tacoma & Eastern development Is taken as an indication that the Milwau kee Interests plan early activity in the direction of Portland. The work is said to be included in the Milwaukee's list of "Immediate" needs. Kxtenslon to Be 43 Miles. The projected extension of the Ta coma Eastern Is about 45 miles in length. It extends from Morton, the present end of the road, to Toledo. From Morton the right of way contin ues south, passing on the east side of Uavls Lake. From there it continues to Kosmos, where it turns almost di rectly west, following the south Bide of the Cowlitz River, passing through Rite and through the Mossy Rock country, north of the town of Mossy Rock. Near the town of MayfieW, the road will swing across the Cowlitz, continuing along the north side of the river through the Sliver Creek country and ending at Toledo, about six miles east of the Portland-Tacoma line of the Northern raclflc The surveyors call for two branches from the road south of Morton before it begins to turn west at Kosmos. Both branches are to extend east, one branch passing through the Cispus country and the other through Verne, both converg ing at Randle, making a complete circle around the big bottom. All the right of way for these branches has not been secured, according to Milwaukee offi cials. Territory Is Rich. The country through which the pro jected road Is to pass is one of the rich est In the state of Washington. It will throw open thousands of acres of the most valuable farming and timber lands as yet undeveloped in the state. The Big Bottom country, it has long been predicted, will become one of the greatest dairy sections in the North west when transportation Is secured. On account of a general Improvement In financial and Industrial conditions throughout the country the Milwaukee system Is" pursuing a more aggressive attitude and It is probable that the promised Invasion of Portland soon will be a reality. The Idaho, Washington & Northern, a line running northeast from Spokane, was taken over by the Milwaukee about a year ago, and according to plans com pleted last week now will be operated by that road. With the early completion of the new line between Spokane and Marengo, the Milwaukee will have direct rail con nection from - Spokane to the Puget Sound cities. . Electrification Under Way. Another enterprise In which the Mil waukee now is engaged Is the electrifi cation of Its line across the Rocky Mountains. It is planned eventually to electrify about 4o0 miles of track. It has been rumored at various times that the Milwaukee will seek to enter Portland by construction of - a line across the Cascades west of North Yak ima, but the route south from Morton always has been held as the logical one and present plans seem to indicate that that is the one that eventually will be selected. Pending construction of its own line, the Milwaukee has traffic arrange ments with the O.-W. R. & N. Company for handling some of Its train service between Portland and the Bast. tracts which Atherton left with Mrs. Alice Snyder, and on which the state has based Its case, was admitted yes terday by Attorney Morris for the de fense, but Judge Kavanaugh held that a general njea of not guilty denies every material allegation tn the indict ment and allowed the state to show by witnesses that the contracts were of no value. The state charges that Atherton represented to Mrs. Snyder that the contracts and blue prints of Central Oregon property were of value and were deposited by him with her as security for the $1300 he is charged with securing from her by means of me false pretenses. On the stand yesterday afternoon in his own defense he denied he intended to defraud Mrs. Snyder. Other wit nesses heard yesterday were Mrs. Sny- oer, who oompleted her direct exam ination and cross-examination; her son. F. S. Snyder, who testified that he first o-uvisea ner mat ine contracts were worthless; T. H. Shearar, a forest su pervisor, who testified that the Gov ernment contract deposited with Mrs. bnyder by Atherton was of no values "EVANGELISE" TO BE GITTEX BV WOMAN'S CLUB.

At the meeting of the committee from the North Portland Commercial Club yesterday afternoon it. was de-. cided to recommend to . the County Commissioners and the City Commis sioners that Columbia slough be dredgred an that the material taken out be used to fill up Patton and Union avenues as approaches to the proposed Interstate bridge; also that Vancouver avenue be filled In the same way, to a connection -with . Union avenue. J. H. Nolta, who originated the plan, said that by deepening the channel an outlet would be provided for sewerage from the Peninsula district and a river boat channel. He contended that suc tion dredges could be used. He pointed out that the cost would not be large. C. L McKenna, member of the com mittee, said that he approved of this plan of providing approaches, and re marked that if the money provided was not sufficient the work could go as far as possible with the money, and temporary roadways provided for the unfilled portion until money could be obtained from other sources. S. L. Woodward said that this year the county is spending $300,000 on the roads In the eastern part of the county, and that next year part of this road money could be used to help build these approaches the Interstate bridge, which he declared would be fair to the north end of the county. Mr. Woodward favors Patton avenue, but expressed his willingness that Mr. Nolta's proposition to fill up Union and Patton avenues should be submitted to the County and Cttjfr Commissioners for consideration.
