DIFFICULTIES MET
BY ELECTRIC LINE
Manager Talbot, of Oregon
Electric, Answers Criticism
of Methods.
ROAD'S PROGRESS BLOCKED
Summary Action Taken Only When
11 Other Methods Fall Unrea
sonable Attitude of Rheigittos
Near . Beaverton.
Annoyed at the criticism of his com
pany because of the action it has taken
in overcoming difficulties in securing
rights of way and constructing Its trol
ley lines. General Manager G. W. Talbot,
of 'the Oregon Electric Railway Com
pany, defends his acts as being the only
means by which the difficulties could be
overcome. He says that It has never
been the policy of his company to take
possession of property against the wishes
of the owners or to oppose any one in
building its lines until compelled to do
so by the absence of any other means
of settlement.
On the one hand. Mr. Talbot says the
people of this state make a loud outcry
because of the few railroads in Oregon,
while, as soon as any one starts to con
struct railway lines, the landowners who
will be benefited by the construction of
the roads do all they can to oppose such
enterprises.
In discussing recent unpleasant Inci
dents connected with the carrying out of
the Oregon Electric projects. General
Manager Talbot makes it plain that It
was only after every other possible means
of settlement failed that the company
took action that would bring about the
desired results, against the wishes of property-owners.
In discussing the difficult
situations the Oregon Electric has had to
meet lately, Mr. Talbot said:
Necessary to Sacrifice Shade Tree.
It was unfortunate, of course, that we
were compelled to cut down a shade tree
at Salem belonging to Mrs. 'Watt. We
would not have done so had It not been
necessary. AVe have a franchise for our
tracks in the City of Salem, and the
authorities asked us to move a Y we had
built there to another location. An ordi
nance was passed giving us rights on the
streets where the city authorities wanted
the tracks placed. As one street was nar
rower than the others, we had to bring
the track Inside the curb at the corner,
and. In order to get clearance for the
cars, we were obliged to cut down the
shade tree in question, which the fran
chise gave us the right to do. We were
acting clearly within our rights, but if
there had been any way to save this tree
we would have been very glad to do so.
At Tualatin there are six maple trees on
our own. right of way at one point, and
the request was made of us that we do
not cut these trees down, but allow them
to remain. We took measurements and
found that the trees would not be In our
way. and so allowed them to remain
standing.
"The case of the Rhelgitto property at
Beaverton has been particularly exasper
ating and we have been criticised for our
action In overcoming obstacles there. We
offered the owners of that property a
much higher price than the market value,
but they would not even consider a set
tlement of any kind, either a cash pay
ment or arbitration as to the value of the
property. Our franchise In Hlllsboro re
quires that we be in operation into that
city by November 1. This Is in the na
ture of a contract that it- Is up to us to
fulfill.
Amicable Settlement Sought.
"We tried to make amicable arrange
ments with the Rheigittos. so we could
go ahead and lay our tracks across the
horseradish and asparagus patches In dis
pute, but they would not allow us on the'
ground. That meant that we must stop
the entire work, at a large cost to the
company, and much against our own in
clination, we felt fully Justified In taking
possession. Our right-of-way man re
ports to me that he used every possible
means to avoid a conflict, and I know
that to be true.
"That the opposition of the owners of
the tract in question is a holdup game
pure and simple is shown by the effort
of their counsel to have the hearing of
this case postponed from August 20, when
It was set. until the Fall term of court.
Until we can proceed on this property,
the whole Hlllsboro extension Is blocked.
Our men are idle, at an expense of hun
dreds of dollars a day . to the company,
and we are paying demurrage charges on
several carloads of steel rails because we
have no place to put them until we can
cross the property now In dispute.
"Another feature of this case is
that Rosa Rhelgitto, who was said
to have suffered the fracture of
an arm by our men when they
broke down the fence and entered
the property, was not struck by the fence
and was not harmed at all, for a careful
investigation shows that she had her arm
broken previously and it was wrapped in
bandages at the time the skirmish at the
Knelgltto place occurred."

ETIME ASKED
Railroads Have Not Decided
on Course in Lumber Case.
MAY RESIST IN COURTS
In Any Event It Is Impossible to
Change Tariffs in Time to
Take Effect August 15,
Date Ordered.
Transcontinental railroads have not
yet decided whether or not they will
fight the decision of. the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the lumber
rate case. A decision as to what action
to take will be reached within the next
few days. Meanwhile the Commission
will be asked to allow the railroads
more time in which :to change their
tariffs in compliance with the new or
der, should they accede to the rates
ordered by the Commission without a
fight.
The Commission ruled in favor of the
lumbermen in their fight against the
higher lumber rates announced by the
railroads, and when the decision was
rendered, directed the railroads to put
In the rates ordered not later than Au
gust 15. It has been found impossible
to make the necessary changes In the
tariff within that time, say the traffic
managers, and a request will be made
that the time limit be extended until
October 15.
R. B. Miller, general freight agent for
the Harrlman lines in this . territory,
returned yesterday from Chicago,
where there was a conference of the
traffic heads of the railroads on the
lumber-rate case. It was reported from
Chicago some time ago that it had been
decided to fight the decision of the In
terstate Commerce Commission by the
railroads, but Mr. Miller says this is in
correct. "The railroads have not yet deter
mined definitely whether to contest the
order of the Commission." he said yes
terday, most emphatically. "This will
probably be decided within a short
time.
"Our lumber tariffs name rates to
over 13,000 points from the Pacific
Coast, and It Is a physical impossibil
ity to get the new rates into effect by
August 15, on account of the many
changes to be made and the new tariffs
to be issued. The earliest possible date
that the changes ordered by the Com
mission can be made is October 15, and
a request will go forward to the Com
mission within the next few days for
an extension of time until that date.
This refers to the Eastern cases only,
and not to the California points in
volved in the lumber-rate controversy."
Mr, Miller spent some time in Chi
cago and New York, and he sweltered
from the heat in both cities. He was
much relieved to get back to Portland,
for be says that people who live here
are the most fortunate on the continent.
They do not know what heat is, he be
lieves, unless they visit the cities of
the East. '
That business conditions are improv
ing in the East is the statement of Mr.
Miller. This improvement is gradual,
for he says that a complete return to
the normal prosperity of the country
is a matter of months. However, he is
confident that the better showing now
being made is sure to continue.
TRAINS RUN ON NEW TRACK
Portion or New Line Between City
and Bonneville In Use.
Work has progressed so far on the
rebuilding of the main line of the O. R.
& N. between Troutdale and Bonne
ville, that a portion of the new line is
being used by all trains over the O. R.
& N. between Portland and Bonneville.
General Manager O'Brien, of the Harrl
man lines, expects to have all the new
track between the two points in serv
ice not later than November 1.
The rebuilding of the main line along
the Columbia River involves the heav
iest possible construction work. Al
though it is about 20 miles from Trout
dale to Bonneville, only nine miles of
the road will be rebuilt. This Is being
done to avoid bad curves and grades in
the old line and make the most of the
water grade along the river. This nine
miles of new track will cost not less
than $600,000.
The rock walls of the Columbia
gorge are being blasted away, to make
room for a straight track and long, ex
pensive fills are being made along the
river. Tunnel No. 1, between Corbett
and Rooster Rock, Is being duplicated,
the new bore through the rock bluff
not being more than 50 feet from the
present tunnel. This Is no light job,
for the tunnel Is 900 feet long, and
will cost in the neighborhood of
$75,000. The old tunnel will then be
utterly worthless, and will be aban
doned. The second tunnel was driven
to escape a ten-degree curve, this
curvature being reduced to two degrees
by the new route.
Several hills along the river will be
avoided by the new route. The old
track climbs over a number of summits
so that grades have to be overcome by
trains In both directions. The new
track will be practically level for the
entire distance being rebuilt.

Corporation Christian Federation. H. S.
Wallace, manager of this Federation, has
been given thirty days extension of time
to raise the bond for the commencement
of work and completion of dams by June,
1909. Immediately after meeting with
the Water Users' Association he left for
New York, where he expects to raise the
money to build the system for irrigation.
Willow Creek and The Water Users'
Association is composed of the settlers
on Willow Creek, with W. J. Scott. C.
