Plana Being Oompleted-Proapeote Good for Early Beginning. Plant for tht new ralk-oad to Tilla mook are fast being consummated, says tiit Telegram, and according to the pres ent outlook, there ia likelihood that work win oe begun during the next summer. A survey of the entire route has been made, and tbe probable course deter mined. Tha bondi have been Issued and placed to such an extent that the road la now practically a aura thing. Portland people art interested in tht project, and home capital li behind the enterprise. The road li designed to trav erse a country entirely unoccupied by any other road, and will be independent iroin any 1 Aha roads now entering Portland. It will have connection with no line except tbe Southern Pacific, which it will crosi a short distance from tbii city. The road has been contem plated for yean by local capitalists, and by tbe lines now entering this city, but no move had been made until the local company waa organised with tbt view of building it. Tbe official! art very reticent in talk ing about it, and do not disclose the plane any further than they can help. It will have a terminal at the union depot, at Portland, and take a bow shaped courae toward the north, through Washington and Tillamook counties, going direct to Tillamook, thence north ward to Nehalem, making an opening for the great volume of products of these counties. Tillamook ia without doubt the greatest and beat butter and cheese producing lection of the Hate, and pos sibly tbe Northwest. These products will have a direct passage to Portland, and thus facilitating it outlet into the central part of the country. A conserva tive estimate of the timber in the sec tion traversed by the road is 42,000,000, 000 feet, which will receive an outlet through this channel. The people in the section are enthusi astic over the enterprise, and hope to tee the road go through at the earlieat possible time. It will greatly increase tht values of property and give an outlet to product! that are now moved only by great expenditures. The otflciale hinted that work may begin at any time, though a definite statement cannot yet be made. Clatskanle Briefs. Mra. O. W. Jonei ia viiiting friendi In Portland tbii week. Mrs. A. I).
