HILL IS CORNERED
ON GATEWAY CASE
Takes Short Haul With
Canadian Road.
ROUTE IS NOT REASONABLE
Interstate Commission Hears
Plea for Opening.
PEOPLE CAN'T SEE COUNTRY
Kvidenee on Joint Routo Via Port
land Shows Would-be Settlers on
-Reclaimed Land Cannot
See It on Hill Lines.
CHICAGO. Feb. 17. (Special.) The
long-Btandlng dispute between the rail
roads controlled by James J. Hill on the
one side and those controlled by Edward
H. Harrlman on the other over the Port
land gateway was taken up by the Inter
state Commerce Commission of Its own
motion today. In the Federal building.
Commission Prouty began an Inquiry
Into the facts surrounding the refusal of
the Hill lines to accept business through
Portland, when It comes from the
greater portion of the territory east of
Denver and north of the Ohio River.
Plea of Hill Lines.
The determination of the issue depends
upon the interpretation 'which the Com
mission and the courts may give to .he
words "reasonaolo and satisfactory," the
law giving- the Commission the power to
establish through routes only In the ab
sence of reasoii)Ie and satisfactory
routes. The officials of iho Hill lines told
the Commitwinn that such routes 0XItcl
now from nil '.lie terriiory from which
they refused to accot business at Port
land from the Hamnun l.nes, and that
they should not, therefore, be compelled
to open this gateiY.iy nd accept short
hauls on passenger businoa to local points
on their lines u the eiri.se of the long
haiJ which they feet throjgh 9t. Paui and
BilKligs.
Clever Play of .Harrlman.
On the other hand, the officers of the
Harrim.m lines Insist that . the existing
routes are not satisfactory from the pub
lic's standpoint for many reasons. Mr.
Harriman Is cleverly playing the Recla
mation Service of the Government against
the commission. This was done by 2. L.
Ijomax, general passenger agent of the
Vnion Facific, when ho displayed a map
showing that several hundred thousand
acres of land luad been reclaimed and
were being reclaimed along his route to
the Northwest, and that large areas of
land were under Investigation for recla
mation. There were, ho said, thousands
of travelers annually who desired to go
to the Northwest by the way of these
lands so that they could look them
over with a view to future homes. To
such travelers the Hill lines did not offer
a reasonable and satisfactory route; like
wise to the thousands who wished to Bee
the scenery along the Denver & Rio
Grande, to visit Salt Lake City and to
Fee the wonders of Colorado, the Hill
lines did not offer such route.
Hill Favors Foreign Koad.
J. G. Woodworth, traffic manager; A.
M. Cleland, general passenger agent;
John C. Poore, assistant general pas
senger agent; and other offlcals of the
Northern Pacific road told the commis
sion that for all business from the ter
ritory east of Denver to t lie points
north of Portland they offered the
public the best route and one which
meets'all requirements as they view the
situation. Mr. Lomax, however, called
the attention of the commission to the
fact that the Hill lines accept busi
ness from the Canadian Pacific, a for
eign corporation, when the business
originates In St. Paul and is destined
for Portland and Seattle, the exchange
being made only a few miles north of
Seattle.
A. W. Booth, a business man of Se
attle, and S. Sedeweek. of Kansas City,
told how the public was inconvenienced
by not being able to select Its own
route to the Northwest upon equal
rates as to routes.
OPEN GATEWAY -IS ASKED
Kailrond Commission Telegraphs
Interstate Commission.
SALEM. Or.. Feb. IT. ( Special.) The
Oregin State Railroad Commission to
day sent to the Interstate Commission
the following telegram in regard to the
opening of the Portland gateway:

Commissioner, Care Vnlted States
Marshal. Chicago, 111. Without attempt
ing to Judge controversy before you. In
our opinion, opening Portland gateway.
If possible, consistent with rights of
parties, would be great convenience to

pass their $200,000 bill for a new branch
asylum they went to the normal schools
and got the votes they needed. When
the Seattle fair wanted votes to recon
sider and pass Its $25,000 appropriation
It got the votes It needed from the nor
mal schools and Eastern Oregon.
When the normal schools had to have
votes to pass their three bills carrying
$318,000 last week they got them from
Eastern Oregon. When! Representative
Hughes, of Marion, who !s fathering a
bill for "safety" gas burners, needed
votes to reconsider and pass his measure
he went to Eastern Oregon and the
normals.
