RAILS, SAYS OFFICIAL. K. M. Calkins, Traffic Manager, De clares Course From Marengo Here Is Considered. Entrance of the Milwaukee road into Portland over the tracks of the North Coast from Marengo to the SDake River and thence over the O. R. & N. lines westward, as suggested Monday by Julius Kruttschnitt, of the Harriman system, is very probable said R. M. Calkins and George W. Hlbbard, tralTlc manager and assistant general passenger agent, re spectively of the Chicago Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway, who rrived M Portland from Seattle last night. "The tendency among railroads every where," said Mr. Calkins, "is to econo mize. Where one set of rails will do tpr two or more roads, there is- no use in expending useless money for parallel trackage. "The money that might be spent in thia direction could be used in building feeders and developing the country so that all the roads might benefit. "All that stands' in the way of an ar rangement with the Harriman lines whereby we can enter Portland from .1.. tha O T? A- M Ik fhA Dflflt oolicy of the Milwaukee is operating ts Own lines, ll :s mailer i our syetem runs its trains over lesn track age of other roads than any railroad In the country, with the possible exception of the Pennsylvania. But in this instance I believe we could divert from that estab lished policy, as we are doing In tha construction of the Grays Harbor line, which we are building jointly with the Oregon & Washington. "It is certain that the Milwaukee will enter Portland. Just how soon. I don't think anyone knows Our directors did not build that great road to the Coast for the mera purpose of entering Tacoma and Seattle with another great city so near. They are not equipping the finest offica on the Coast for a mere ornament. Tho local office will be used to care for local business. All that stands in the way of Immediate further expenditures is tho tight money market. Capital is fearful oj investing in railroads with public senti ment directed so sharply against it." '' The Milwaukee officials were met upon arrival by- James R. Veitch, district freight agent here. They will remain foe a few days in Portland.
