question, members of the Port of Port
land Commission will examine that
part of the river from a steamboat In
a. few days, accompanied by river pi
lots who aro opposed to allowing the
bridge at Swan Island, or want It built
fiO feet above low water, and by engi
neers of the North Bank railroad, which
seeks an inlet to Portland at that point.
The commission will then hold a con
ference with the pilots and represen
tatives of tnc railroad. This, meeting:
t-xppcieu i or toaay. dui cnairman
Pease, of the Commission, said last
night that It would not be held for
several days.
"Will Submit Report.
At the meeting, the railroad will sub
mit a report settintr forth that the
Swan-Island site is the best, not only
lor its own interests, but also for those
of navigation: that 44 feet above low
water is as high as the road can afford
to build its bridge and that (50 feet
would, be prohibitive. Tho report lias
been prepared by B. U Crosby, princi
pal assistant engineer. Vancouver-
rortiand bridge, and X. D. Miller, chief
onsineer of the road.
Tue railroad plan to establish a big
ireight yard north of Guild's likc, at
the western end of the bridge, owing
to the Inability of present freight yards
io Handle its traflie. The only ground
available tor the new yards is that
which the road lias selected.
Track Free of Curvature.
To the new yards, the railroad seeks
iiacK free of curvature and heavy
Kraoes. j ne bwan-Island brides will-
Afford that kind of track, but a bridge
nownere else will do so. If further
down stream, extreme curvature would
rosult. which tho road has avoided at
nigii expense all the way from Kenne-
WICK.
-uid ii me bridge were raised to M
i t above high water, this would cause
a heavy grade, on the western ypproach,

graue on the railroad.
Report of the Railroad.
The report of the railroad follows:

what Is known as the "mosquito licet."
fn towln pt,cularl" the boats employed
that the yards be kept above the deration
of that high water.
Tou will see that if the bridge In raised
to an elevation of 60rfeet above low wa
ter a connection with the present Xorth
Pacinc tracks could not be made until
the foot of Nineteenth street In the City
of Portland is reached, and that this
would require an embankment across
Guild's Lake averaging 30 feet in height,
with a maximum height in places of near
ly 40 feet, and over what is known as
Kltrldge Lake an average fill of over 45
fecL anrf m-pr ti-hat l l-nns-n nn TVnra np'
Lake a fill of 60 feet. The enormous quan
tity oi material required to make this em
bankment can be imagined.
As at present located the ground that
would be available for a yard between the
proposed location and the nresent North
ern Pacific main line will have to be tilled
to an averace of less than ton feet. s-
cepting the most southerly portion, which
ior a snort distance might require an
average of 15 to 20 feet. If the higher
grade line which runs out at Nineteenth
street is used, to use this same property
for yard purposes would require an addi
tional fill over the entire length of over
20 feet.
AVouId Exceed Maximum Grade.
,s the line Is loeaipd. this lnrmlnal vnnl
will have to be raised sufficiently In or
der to reach it on lh maximum irrarfo ho
that it will be itself on a trade of 0.2 nor
siujiini, towards tne south. A slight
grade of this sort in a yard, while not
aiways oesiraulc. is not a fatal objection;
iui u msicaa oi carrying out the maxi
mum grade, the track was carrion" Hnw-n
from the proposed greater elevation so as
to reach the crane of th xnrthpm Pa
cific track near the south end of the pro
posed yard and the yard built on that
Kittue. ii would thpn rmulrp n croon
through the entire yard of 0.6 per cent, or
wirce times tne maximum trade, and
very tram going north out of tho yard
nuum require to he immimhi nut nvr
grade of three times the maximum of the
J'ortland & Seattle Itailway. It would be
out of the question to raise the yards to
any such extent or to adopt any such
kiiuc ii. as would ne necessary, the
yard was kent down to the nresrnt nm-
posed elevation with a grade of 0.2 per
io reacn it irom tnc proposed eleva
tion oi w ieet aoove low water would re
quire a grade , of 0.8 per cent. In case
there should be misunderstanding with
regard to nirures shown on ihi nrnnio
where 0.C1 is shown, we will explain that
the. resistance due to the curvature at
inis noint manes un th luianno nr th
0.8 per cent. This grade would be four
times the maximum .of the Portland &.

Which Is to Block the

VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 21
Adopting the tactics of -well-known
Eastern magnates who refuse to answer
when trust Inquiries arc instituted
Senator E. M. Rands, of Vancouver,
secretary of the Wallula Pacific, for
merly the Columbia Valley Railroad
Company, has declined to give the
names of the owners of the road or the
intentions of the stockholders In regard
to its construction. In a suit now pend
ing, in which the Columbia Valley is
the plaintiff, and William McCready,
homesteader o Klickitat County,
Washington, is defendant. It which the
railroad company is suing for the per
formanco of a contract, alleged to have
been entered Into some years ago be
tween the corporation and the settler,
and involving the transfer of a right
of way across the McCready farm. Sen
ator Rands has defied the authority of
the courts to make him tell the secrets
of the company, and while Special Com
missioner Frank E. Vaughn, before
whom the examination of Witness
Rands was conducted, had not the
power to commit the recalcitrant for
contempt, a second hearing is expected
to come up before Judge W. W. McCre-
dle, of the Superior Court, when Sena
tor Ran.Is is liable to be lined for con
tempt of court if he persists In his re
fusal to answer the questions put to
him.

The homesteader, McCready. was rep
resented by James B. Kerr, assistant
general counsel for the Northern Pa
cific, with ofllces at St. Taul and at
torney also for the Portland &
Seattle Railway, and A. L,. Miller, local
counsel it Vancouver for the North
ern Pacini. Senator Rands was repre
sented ly .Martin U Pines, of Portland.
and it was upon the suggestion of his
counsel that the witness remained
mute. Mr. Kerr aked that tho min
utes of all the. moctlngs of the hoard
of trustees of the Wallula Pjrlfl l.o
Introduced. This was declined by S
rotary Hands, with tho oxcention that
he offered to exhibit the minutes of tiie
meeting at which the line was located.
uecds for the right of way and the cor
respondence concerning proxies from the
New York stockholders were asked for.
but Mr. Rands declined to produce them.
Mr. Kerr wanted to know where th
money came from to organize the corpo
ration, but no answer was forthcoming
to this query, cither. Secrctarv Rands
was asked If the New York stockholders
instructed him about the construction of
the road. This remained unanswered.
Mr. Kerr asked the witness if there was
a resolution of intent to build the road.
As to all these pertinent questions Sena
tor Rands returned the stereotyped answer
that he declined to answer for the pres
ent, upon the advice of his counsel. Mr.
Kerr wanted to know if the Wallula Pa
cific had any authority to go through -th
military' reservation at Vancouver Bar
racks. Secretary Rands also refused to
answer this.

There arc a score of other railroad men
who. although not so near the workln

claim a closer knowledge of the road than
Its own officers.
"There is nothing to ft." say railroad

the sole purpose of delaying the construc
