. THE MORNING OBEGONIAN,. MONDAY, SEPTE3IBER 25, 1905. mm road NOW ASSURED Charles Wanzer Is Chief Engi neer' for New Company Backed by E. E. Lytle. PLANS -ARE DISCUSSED there -trill probably bh a period of de velopment In which comparatively light tonnage urtll be supplied- the road, but with the already extenilve agricultural production It will become a revenue earner earlier than the majority of new railroads, by reason of the variety of freight traffic that will originate In Its territory. Xcw Railway Will Connect Both With the Northern Pacific and the O. It. & X., It Is Said. ClMiymin Ckarlos Wan 7 or. until ro oM City Engineer of Portland. Is nfcltf ongtaoer for the new company of B. K. L.ytle is the hoad. that will Uc PortlanJi Nohalem & Tttlwiwak Railroad, and has boen In Ue AaU for mare titan a fortnight en ekrw! In investigations pending con rlskR of other negotiations of Mr. I4rt)e ad associates. It is definitely oeUatf ilwit the road will be built and a groat araount of engineering work hmm bean done by the Portland. Nona )m & Tillamook Company, the charts mm! amps of which will be acquired by the new backers of the enterprise, but tkore Was been no definite decision as to tk route that will be followed be yJ Ue evmrait of the divide. Starting from a connection with the Southern Pacific West Side line near Hlllsboro, toe fir? section of which extends ,to Oreenvtlle. where the two branches di verge, one extonding through the Ke iMaom Valley and the other to Tilla mook following in a. general way tr.e course of .Wilson River. The north or Kofealom line rises from an -altitude of Ml foot at Hlllsboro to 800 feet at sIm sttntnttt of the divide, eight miles west of Bixton, where the diviJe will e oreod by a tunnel that Javes a cHwh of 3 feet to the crost. while toe bore will be comparatlvaly short owing to the general character of the cooattxy. The -southern or Tillamook Ma emsstng over to the heidwatcs of Wife River will surmount .he Jivld-j abowt IS miles west of Greenville. Land Beyond the Divide. Berd tbe divide the Nehalem line win serve the communities centering wt Kk, Oosr Creek. Grand Rapids. Vloemaple. MJshawaka and possibly Jorbra. The Tillamook branch has a low n maker of settled communities Xtomm toe Nehalem, but a very large de- vrloyoi agricultural region as has the MVeoal em. Which will become the main Itoe aMl which the branch had not been 4t.raTtaod by the present Portland, N-fcaom & Tillamook management and win remain for the new managing offi cials to determine. One of the branches mar not be poshed through to the Cost Immediately, a' Coast line con necting tne two .Coast points and tho single tkroogh line to the Coast serv ing both. Mr. lortle is reticent regarding his plans, fiortfeer than that the road will be bnltt. Important changos In location of loc roote may rosult from the recom mornatloas of Uagineer Wanzer. but tne onioctlve Is the name and the fact! tnat Mr. Lytle will be at the head of tne enterprise is a guarantee of Its speed? construction after preliminaries nave boon concluded, and that it will be a railroad of the type the people of Pwrtiaml have desired to connect that rich virgin territory with the city. Connects With Both Bonds. Arrangements have been made by the present company for a twofold connection into Portland and for the routing of traf Mc with the Southern Pacific at Hlllsboro and with the Northern Pacific at or near Sc&ppoese. a grade 13 miles In length connecting with the Northern Pacific ttne from a point on the new road seven mites from the Southern Pacific connec tion. This plan was made possible un er operation of the law adopted by the Legislature at the last session, and wwM give shippers on the road the choice of cither system for routing tnrongn freight. Whether there will be any change la these plans is not decided bf the new parties in Interest. Thirteen years ago grading was started on a projected railroad to the coast tsmm Hlttehoro. a considerable portion of wMch was completed In the first 20 mites of the projected line. Title to the grade was forfeited, but portions of this oM grade are now included In the new rtgnt of way acquired by the company and noon which the work done by the Atlas Contract & Supply Company was nrogres-sing until a short time ago. Xtcitcr arrangements will - be made for taking over the contract or for completion of the work with as a little further delay as possible. Aprtcoitural districts of exceptional productive power have been developed In the valleys of the larger rivers and their mtacrous tributaries of the Pacific slope of the divide, while adjacent to the eoast are the tldelands and marshes Wot surpassed for dairy farming any place in the world, with fresh vegeta tion the year around, upon which milch cows feed, and it is rarely necessary to Xeod grain or forage from granaries or barns. This area will be rapidly In creased as spruce timber of the first ten raMcs back from the coast Is removed and ftr timber cut from higher lands to ward the Interior, steadily Increasing the area productive of tonnage of grain, cereal, fruit and dairy products. One creamery company has assured the of ficials of the railroad that It will guar antee traffic aggregating earnings of from $12,003 to JlS.tKW annually from the region. Other Sources of Traffic Additional to the sources of . traffic it hs the purpose of the company to open to production the Upper Nehalem coal Holds, having a mean length of about 13 xnncs and from one to two miles wide. whore occur two coal beds, nine and six feot In thickness and convonlently sit uated for mining. In another locality occurs bituminous coal that has been found by tests to be of good coking qual ity. Not quite so conveniently .located with relation to the line of the road aro also iron ore deposits, limonlte in char acter, with a greater percentage of Iron than In the ore used for manufacture of pig iron and other raw iron products by the Oregon Iron & Steel Company, and which It is believed may bo made the source of large traffic When completed this railroad will be the shortest route by "more than .40 miles between Portland and the sea and will develop an enormous traffic to the benches of the Nehalem and Tillamook sections. The region Is very attractive and various resorts will be created that will become popular with the population of the city seeking sea bathing, ocean freezes, and the combination of moun tain and ocean views such as are pres cnted in that portion of Oregon. This traffic will naturally Increase with the growth of Portland and will result In large numbers of residents of this city becoming Interested in property along the coast and In the rich vjlJs opened to development. Like all new countries DOES XOT CONTROL STOCK. William Kcld Says Atlas Company Has Forfeited Contract. PORTLAND, Sept. 24. CTo the Edi tor.) In today's (Sunday) Oregonlan it 16 alleged that E. E. Lytle and his as sociates will call upon Mr. Edward Rec ords tomorrow (Monday), and enter into nogotlatlopg by which the control of the Portland , Nehalem & Tillamook Railway Company's stock will be trans ferred to Mr. Lytle's ipterests. Pardon me asking whether this state ment Is not erroneous? The public Is warned that the Atlas Company does not control the common stock of that railway company. True that upon June 23 last a resolution was passed reciting that, as and for and as a fur ther consideration of the Atlas Con struction Company's building said 100 miles of railway, which Is signed by Colonel McCracken as president, there should also be delivered to that com pany certain fully paid-up shares of oommon stock. The Atlas Company failed within 60 days thereafter, and up till now has not built one mile com pleted of said railway, and consequent ly, having stopped work and forfeited its contract, it has nothing to sell to anybody, either In stocks, bonds or otherwise. This is not my opinion alone, but the decision of the Supremo Court of the State of Oregon in an ex actly parallel case (two suits), of Bran son and others against the Oregonlan Railway Company, of Scotland, which see, and the unanimous opinions of the various Judges thereon. All that the Portland. Nohalem & Til lamook Railway Company ask from Mr. E EL Lytle, as he was Informed in writing a week ago, Is very kindly not to Interfere at present with the directors in constructing, or rather re constructing, our railway. In that event, the public will see ten miles of railway In running operation, with lo comotive thereon, within 40 days, and ten more miles actually constructed Im mediately thereafter. WILLIAM REID.
