NOW FOR ANOTHER THING PORTLAND CAPITAL, TO BUILD TILLAMOOK BO A I). Desired to be Strictly a Local Eater prise for Portland. In a report which the officers of the Portland, Nehalem & Tillamook Bail way have just made to the directors of the' company, a comprehensive plan of work is outlined. It proposes tlie build ing of forty-three miles of road to be in operation in November or iecember, and the issuing of $(150,000 of 6 per cent first mortgage bonds to meet the cost. Recent investigation haa demonstrated that, it is possible to get a grade of per cent at the summit, instead of the I per cent grade reported last fall. It has been found that the timber belt tributary to the first lorty-three miles of road it capable of furuiehing a revenue of $o00,000 annually lor at least ten con secutive years, against an interest charge of $32,600 on the basis of 6 per cent on 1050,000. The line it to be absolutely independ ent of all transcontinental connections, and its eastern terminus it to be at Port land. Two different routes for the road have been examined, one of which would reach the Willamette river at Oswego, and another that reaches Port land via Cornelius Gap. It is the pur pose of the promoters of the road to build to both Tillamook and Nehalem bays, the extreme length of the road to be eighty miles, bnt only forty-three utiles of 'it will probably be completed this year. After crossing the coast range summit the road follows down the 8Almonberry river and reaches the Lower Neha'lem river at a point eighteen miles above its mouth, where a branch line will be extended to Grand Rapids, the main line extending on down the river to Nehalem bay. It is expected that the road will be com menced at once and rushed with all pos sible haste to completion.
