THF; "SUNDAY OREGONIAN. POKTLAND, SEPTEMBER" 9,' 1906.' HARR1MAN LIE ON LIGHT GRADE Extension to Puget Sound Will Avoid Many Curvatures in Earlier Surveys. PART DEFINITELY LOCATED Between Vancouver and Chehalis, Hhe Northern Pacific Will Be Crossed Overhead at Sev eral Places. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. J. (Special.) J. D. Farrel. Chief Engineer E. C. Haw kins and a party of officials of the Oregon & Washing-ton Railroad left yesterday afternoon for .Kalama, and will make a trip afoot and In a buggy over the route of the Harrlman extension to Puget Sound The line has been definitely located be tween Vancouver and a point south of Chehalis. North of Chehalis four surveys have been made and the engineering corps Is now proving up the various routes suggested to fix the best line Into Tacoma. Between Tacoma and Seattle the rail road will ba built as near the Puget Sound Electric Company's line as possible, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul tracks on one side and the Harrlman system on the other. This will make the Union Pa cific extension, St. Paul, Puget Sound Electric Company and Northern Pacific tracks parallel each other between Ta coma and Seattle. Olympla Is Not Touched. The Harrlman projection will not touch Olympla. The closest of the four surveys will be 14 miles distant from the capital city and other routes are still further re moved. Whether the road will enter Ta coma from the shore of Puget Sound, passing throug Steilacoom, or will make a detour and come Into that city from the east Is undetermined. There Is no Intention on the part of Harrlman officials to use any part of the old Union Pacific grade, unless a cross ing Is made necessary. New surveys have found an entirely new route, far better In grade and curvature than any of the other Investigations In behalf of the Union Paciflo have shown. Heavy Grades Are Avoided. Harriman's line, so far as It Is deter mined, has shown the lowest grades found on the west side and the degrees of curvature are far below those of the Northern Pacific The maximum North ern Pacific grade between Seattle and Portland la 1.25 per cent, at Napa vine Hill. The Union Pacific projection goes around Napavine Hill it gt expense in heavy cuts and rock work and gets a maximum grade of six-tenths of 1 per cent. The Northern Pacific has at least one eight-degree curve, while the maximum of the Union Pacific extension Is four four degree curves. Below the Columbia River the O. R. 4 N. Is to build. The bridge acrosB that stream must be. under .the Congressional act, a common-user struc ture. . Following Meanders of the Columbia Prom Vancouver the Union Pacific ex tension will follow closely the winding of the Columbia to Kalama. Northward the Northern Pacific line Is followed pretty close. Looking at the Union Pacific new Trade south from a point below Chehalis, the Harriman line runs west of the North ern Pacific to decrease curvature and grades, following Steam's Creek around the summit of Napavine Hill, 30 feet low er than the Hill system. The Union Pacific extension follows the west side of the Olequa River to Wlnlock, and below that town, crossing the North ern Pacific tracks on an overhead bridge at Little Falls and again south of that town, swinging back to avoid the sliding bluffs along the Olequa Canyon. Crossing the Northern Pacific. Keeping on the west side of the Cowlits River, the Harriman line goes southward. crossing again 24 miles north of Kelso and crossing the Hill system's line. Thence the Harrlman line runs east of the Northern Pacific, through Kelso and continues to Kalama. Below Martin's Bluff, the Union Pacific will build an overhead crossing to get over the North ern Pacific again. Between Kalama and Vancouver the Union Pacific Is closer to the Columbia River than the Northern Pacific. Plana Ready for Contractors. TauMA, Sept. 8. (Special.)
