ftuSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG. OREGON. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1929. SIX STORY 1 (Continued from page 1) Blent. H is con.o.uVreI rprtfitn lhat Ihf commission's decision ordering the I'nion Pacific to construct tit new route will he tak'.'ii into court, in view of (Iip opposition Hit i'n Ion Pacific huH evinced to uwJer takliiK the work. 'rhc line would run from east to w-8t across the center of Oregon and would link up transportation liiicti which now operate chiefly on the cast and wejt borders of Ore pun. The comm. union remarked tliat a line "across central Oregon lias Ion heeti a desire of peopl of that state," while the area to hr traversed was said "probably to constitute the laitrest area with in the 1'nited States without rail facilities." Majority Opinion Several railroad nrgumentH questioninR the riht of the com mission to order a common car rier to extend Us line were re viewed, and th' majority decision, 111 spite of slatemeiits of dissent ii.K members, specifically stated 1h tit. under exff inn law "we find that authority has been vested In ti b to authorize or require the con struction prayed for." "The view of the public service commission of OieKon Is that the development of central and west ern Oregon Is belnff seriously ham pered due to the absence of an east and west line of railroad across the state." the commission commented. "Traffic now originat ing In western Oregon and des tined to eastern points must move either south or north before east ward movement begins. It Is urged that Oregon's development has , been held back and seriously ham pered by lack of direct routes." j Necessity Seen "We find that extension of the : rail line of the Oregon-Washington i railroad and navigation company, j now terminating at or near Hums, I Oregon, from the station thereon designated as Crane to connect with the Cascade line of the South ern Pacific by the Oregon-Wasa-lug ton commtuy is reasonably re quired to the Interest of public convenience and necesfly." IhOj commission held, "nnd that facts justify an order requiring such an extension to be constructed. As previously shown, the Oregon Washington railroad and naviga tion company Is owned bv the Ore gon Short line, which In turn Is owned by the Union Pacific. In view of these facts It In expected i the cost of construction will be j financed by the Union Pacific." I Finishes State Program SAI.KM, Ore., Dec.. 13 Con struction of the Urane-Oreseetit lake line, ordered today by the In terstate commerce commission, will complete the railroad con struction program Initialed by the Oregon public service commission In 11122, II. II. Corey, member of tint Oregon commission, said to day. Corey was mainly Instru mental in starling the movement, lie hi Id f ho new road would Ive nil Oregon and western Idaho market outlets In all directions "The completion of these lines will give all Oregon and western Idaho imirket outlets In nil direc tions and It will open the entire state o the consuming markets of the east and to lite Pacific mat' kets, ports and terminals, where by heretofore unserved territory may ship their products to the markets of the United states and foreign countries and establish n more direct route east for more than :tn billion Teet of timber which must reach eastern markets In competition with lumber from the neighboring states of Wash ington and California, that here tofore have had the benefit of the shorter haul."
