1909. 14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, OF PORTLAND ELATED Announcement That J. J. Hill Will Build Into Central Oregon Applauded. iMEANS MUCH TO THE STATE ; Prominent CItlxens Sax Great Em pire Only Walts on Transporta tion Facilities for Development. Business Enough for Two. Positive assurance that Hill holds a controlling interest In the Oregon Trunk Is regarded by the business Interests of this city as the most Important announce ment that has been mads in years. Im portance attaches to the news from the fact that when the Empire Builder takes a hand In the railroad-building game, 'there Is something doing. Leading busi ness men point to the fact that the history of Hill's operations shows that when he tackles a situation, action and results follow Immediately. For that reason the construction of at least one and In all probability two railroads Into Central Ore gon is believed to be assured. "It is immaterial to us whether Hill or Harriman or both build railroads in Ore gon," said a prominent business man yesterday. "What the business men of Portland, to say nothing of the people of Central Oregon, have been demanding for several years Is the construction of a railroad Into this long-neglected section of the state. There Is no reason why the two projected roads should auarrel over the occupancy of the Deschutes canyon. There is ample room by that route to ac commodate two lines of road and there Is no disputing the fact that the area of S"jO square miles in the heart of the state will furnish business for both." "Good Investment" A. L. Mills. "We have been telling and repeating: for the last ten years the Importance of obtaining transportation communi : cation with Central Oregon and a fur- ther discussion of that phase of the . situation would be only a repetition of : previous discussions," said A. L. Mills, president of the First National Bank, yesterday. "But now that we are as sured of the building of one and possi bly two such roads. It is needless to say that we are pleased. I am more than glad that our prayers finally are to be answered. In Central Oregon is found a vast empire possessing won derful possibilities which have not been : touched. I sincerely hope and am con fldent that the railroad or railroads which are to be built will be rewarded tor their enterprise and from the be ginning will realize satisfactory re turns from the Investment." "The construction of a railroad into Central Oregon Is of even greater im portance to Portland and the state than was the completion of the North Bank," said I. Lang, president of Lang A Co. "The roads up the Deschutes will pene trate a rich and productive section, while the North Bank road for the greater part passes through a non productive territory from which any great amount of local business never will originate. I venture to say that the building of one or more railroads lr.to Central Oregon will mean $10 to Portland where one dollar Is received by reason of the operation of the North Bank. "What Is needed in this state Is the development of Us interior. This Is es sential to the, further growth of the city, which has gone forward by leaps and bounds. The further prosperity of both can be promoted only through the construction of railroads by which Cen tral Oregon can be brought into more direct communication with Portland. The Deschutes Canyon should be re garded only as a means of entering the Interior of the state. There is plenty of room for both roads in the canyon. After following this defile for a dis tance of probably 100 miles there Is abundant opportunity for two or more roads to build extensions in different directions and assist in the develop ment of this vast area. What we want Is more railroads, and when these transportation facilities have been pro vided the development of the section so perved will fully Justify the large expenditures necessary." Abundant Business for Two Roads. "The business Interests of this city have for years recognized the Importance of securing the construction of a rail road Into Central Oregon." said Henry Hahn, president of the Wadhams com pany. "The building of the projected roads at this time means bringing Into touch with Portland an area of 200 miles square, representing nearly one-half of the territory of the state, which is now without transportation facilities. It has been said that the greater part of Cen tral Oregon Is unproductive, but this , charge Is not supported by an Investlga . tlon of that section. The further this inquiry is carried, the more promising are the prospects. The same was said of Eastern Washington years ago be fore that section was provided with rail roads. Today it Is thickly settled and Is regarded one of the most productive sections in the Pacific Northwest. What we want Is the building of a railroad into Central Oregon and It will be found that the productive possibilities of that part of the state will furnish abundant business for at least two railroads." "Completion of the projected railroads up the Deschutes into Central Oregon will reach and serve a large territory that Is naturally tributary to Portland," said J. C. Alnsworth, president of the United States National Bank. "I am sat isfied that there is plenty of room in the Deschutes canyon to permit the build ing of both roads, and I am just as con fident that sufficient business will be of fered to Justify the building of both. These roads Into Central Oregon, which contains some of the finest wheat lands in the West, will do for the Interior of the state what the North Bank- road has done for the Inland Empire. I hope fo see both roads completed and placed In operation at the earliest possible time." STEVEN'S IS GfEST OP HOXOR Informal Luncheon Tendered Rail road Man by Judge Carey. John F. Stevens, who has succeeded to a controlling interest in the Oregon Trunk, was yesterday the guest at an Informal luncheon in bis honor at the Portland Commercial Club, given by Judge C. H. Carey, representing the legal department of that road. The affair was entirely informal and was ' for the purpose of giving Mr. Stevens an opportunity to meet some of the representative business men of Tort j land, who were Judge Carey's guests. ' It Is the Intention of Mr. Stevens ' during the week personally to visit ths Deschutes country and observe ths BUSINESS MEN work being done by the contractors in the employ of the road he has ac quired. Employes Enjoy Picnic. Every employe of the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company that could be spared from his duties took advantage of the holiday declared by the company yesterday and spent the day at the company's delightful picnic grounds at Estacada. Over 1000 per sons participated In the day's festivi ties, which Included a thoroughly en joyable outing on the upper Clackamas. Those employes that could not par ticipate in yesterday's picnic will be similarly entertained probably on Sep tember 12. when B. S. Josselyn. presi dent of the' company. Is planning a sec ond picnic for their benefit. Music by Donatelll's band and dancing In the pavilion constituted the features of ths day's entertainment. 99. Tennesseeana Coming.

The deluge of steam coasters began with eight of them on Saturday. The Elmore, the Casco, the Claremont, the Geo. W. Elder, the Falcon, the Ta malpais, the Wellesley and the Johan Poulsen all reached port Saturday and began to discharge cargo within a few hours of each other. Sunday came five more, the Eureka, the Yosemlte, the Breakwater, the Argo, and the oil boat Washtenah. And yesterday the list was completed by the arrlveal of the Sagi naw, the Majestic and the State of California. Curiously enough, two days before Saturday were the dullest of the sea son. In the whole 48 hours, there were only two movements in the harbor, and one of those was the shifting of the steamship Rose City from the Oceanic to the Alnsworth dock. The sudden rush of the coasters made It impossible for the Columbia River pilots to start yesterday on their survey of the Columbia River as far as Astoria, as they had planned. ' This is an an nual cruise made by the pilots for the purpose of learning for their own information, by actual soundings, the condition of the channel after the June freshet. Among those who had planned to go were Captains W. H. Patterson, Archie Pease and Harry Emkin. The rush of business, however, made it necessary for them to postpone the cruise until the latter part of the week. The trip will be made In one of the Port of Portland boats. GOOD PROGRESS IX SURVEY Engineers Complete Examination of Channel to Martin's Island. After one day In port for minor repairs, the United States survey steamer Arago will drop down today to Martin's Island In the Columbia River about 25 miles be low the mouth of the Willamette, to con tinue the work of making the annual sur vey of the channel between Portland and the sea. This work is in charge of As sistant Engineer F. C. Schubert of the United States Engineers. It Is undertaken at this time each year to ascertain where dredging and other improvements are necessary, and to chart the depth of the channel. - The Arago has been sounding nine days on the Willow bar and Henricl's bar. The dredge Columbia is now working on lower Willow bar and the Portland Is digging out a better channel at the mouth of the Willamette. From Martin Island bar. the Arago will survey and make soundings all the way down the river, paying partic ular attention to 'the channel at points like Hunter's bar. Double bar, and Slaughter's bar, where the receding June freshet always leaves deposits of silt and mud. The work will require about two months to complete. SAGIXAW BRINGS SCRAP IRON First Lot of 20,000 Tons Arrives From San Francisco. With S00 tons of scrap Iron for the Pacific Hardware & Steel -Company, the steam schooner Saginaw, consigned to W. T. Carroll, arrived from San Francisco late last night. This shipment is but the first of 25 sim ilar cargoes of scrap iron the Saginaw will bring to this port for the steel com pany. The Pacific Hardware & Steel Company recently closed a deal by which it bought for J200.000 a huge pile of scrap 40 feet high and 100 feet square. !.,..- 9n nnn tnnn. and It -has char- I (.uiliaiiiinb ........... . J tered the Saginaw to transport this im- mense lot of old iron to Portland. The scrap Iron is the last big pile of wrecked ironwork remaining in San Francisco from the big fire, and also represents the greatest amount of scrap material ever sold at one time. It will be used here by the company for manufacturing pur poses. The Saginaw will be more than a year in transporting it all here if no other steamer is secured to help her. Tacoma Harbor Notes.
