Coming of mil; to Oregon and Hill C ; Operations Here, Belaied. ) Railroad surveys under the so 6al led Hill supervision and the announc ed ..coming of ' 3. J. Hill, the empire builder, to Oregon this month, are two items of interest that run hand in hand. While there may be nothing In the advance news that Hill is com ing to Eastern" Oregon, he will never theless keep his , wonderful eyes pn this section -. of the state. The "Hill iinterasts are Inaugurating an im mense, amount of. railroad work and the chief ia coming" to Partland to do some of the .engineering ' at short range. Progress of surveyors in the Blue Mountains will no doubt be the subjects of study . from the .'pioneer railroader: The Portland Journal says of his coming: : James J. Hill, railraod magnate, is expected to arrive here the latter part of this month, probably the 25th, but so far no definite information on that point has teen received here at any of his offices. Nor is it certain that he will come as far west as Portland on this , trip. Hill seldom announces his plans more than three or four days in advance, and it is said that if he intends coming here about the 25th, word to that effect will probably be, received here tomorrow.'.-'; -:.;:' '';.'' J IThere are-many reasons why it is believed ' he will come , to Portland this trip. In the first place, this Is to be the Hill system's busiest year In railroad contsruction in". Oregon and in the second place much new property has been taken under the wings of the big Bystem a great deal of which the prominent builder has yet to see for the first time. That, he will be deeply Interested In what is going on in the Willamette valley is taken for granted now that the Oregon Electric is known to be a part of the Hill; holdings. ,. Last time he was here, about three months ago'' Mr. Hill did not take time to in spect the valley, but devoted his at tention to the North Bank road. This time, it is belieyed. he will give more attention tohis lines In a southerly direction. It is also believed he will devote some time to the proposed project of building a line across the state from east to west. Second Annual Ball.
