15 TILLAMOOK RORD OPEN OCTOBER Ten Miles of Track and Some Tunnel Work Remains to Be Completed. FREIGHT AWAITS OPENING Tillamook Folk Plan .Excursion to Portland to Celebrate Opening of First Railroad Into Rich Section of State. Although the date tor the final com pletion of the Pacific Railway & Nav igation line from Portland to Tilla mook has been postponed many times, official announcement made yesterday sets October 1 as the day when the first train will "be able to operate from one end of the road to the other. Only 10 miles of track remain to- be laid and these will be In place before the end of the present month, but come repairs to tunnels and fills must be made before the road can be placed In operation. While October 1 Is set as the day when the first train will make the run from Portland to Tillamook, regular traffic likely will not be opened for two or three weeks later. What the nature of the service will be has not yet been determined. It Is planned, however, to operate at least one through train each way every day. This may be a, nixed train to accommodate both freight and passenger business, but If the trafflo demands It a sep arate passenger schedule will be in augurated. Freight Waiting; to Be Moved. Freight business on the new line will be heavy from the start, as much material now is waiting to be moved The line taps a heavily Umbered dis trict and this will be developed imme diately following the establshment of through service. Although the grade at some places approaches 3 per cent, no timber will need to be carried over an adverse grade. That on the west slope of the Coast Range will be dropped down to Tillamook, while that cut on the eastern side will be brought Into Portland direct. A temporary service already has been established from Tillamook to Mohler, 23 miles east, and regular trains make the trip. The town of Mohier receives Its name from A. L, Mohler, general manager of the Union Pacifici who has given E. E. Lytle, president of the new road, much en couragement In his project Trafflo over this portion of the line since It was opened early In the Summer has Justified officials In the belief that business will be encouraging after through servloe is started. In celebration of the actual entrance of the first railroad Into Tillamook the people of that city are arranging an excursion to Portland and will take p with the Commercial Club, of this city, the question of operating a spe cial train from Portland to Tillamook. These trips. It Is expected, will take place late In October, as the company wishes first to make a thorough test of the entire line before operating heavy trains over It Several grades that were affected by landslides last Bum mer will be strengthened and a num ber of fills will be repaired. The tunnel near Wolf Creek suf fered serious damage by fire while the forest In that region was ablaze a tew weeks ago, but this will not delay completion of the road. About 10 miles of track remain to be laid and this gap will be closed before the end of next week. Men are work ing night and day now In the endeavor to have the project completed by Oc tober 1. Tillamook's Future Bright. Although the "Lytle Road," as It Is popularly called, will serve principally as a freight carrier, one of its chief as sets Ilea In Its scenic advantages. Per sons who have made the trip over the right of way declare that the scenery Is not to be surpassed anywhere. Tillamook, as a result of the comple tion of the road, will be added to Ore gon's list of popular Summer resorts. Many Portland people already have taken up beach property there and will build Summer homes. However, the future Importance of Tillamook will be as a commercial and not as a tourist center. $5828 IS BALM FOR BURN Man. Injured In Bathhouse Wins Verdict Other Judgments.

Freight Facilities Is Laid to Lax Campaign Mer chants Plan to Plead Again. That Portland, the largest implement and warehouse district In the North west, has no freight facilities on the East Side, which has worked for a freight depot and freight track, facili ties for several years. Is laid to the difference of opinion as to the best method of obtaining these facilities. Charles Smith, of the National Cold Storage & Ice Company, at Bast Water and East Washington streets, who has tried to get freight facilities for the district, expressed surprise that the Kast Side Business Men's Club, which, he says, seems to hold the key to the situation, does not take prompt action and obtain a freight depot. "It would almost be Impossible to estimate the vast expense and delay, to which the shippers in this district are subjected dally," said Mr. Smith. "That organization owes it to the peo ple of the East Side to take speedy action. Can we hope for any relief through this organization? What is back of the delays? Certainly, there should be no politics back of so great an improvement. Between $4,000,000 and $6,000,000 is Invested in this dis trict and much more is represented, and yet while the O.-W. R. & N. Co. says it stands ready to start on a development that will cost more than $500,000 and require $100,000 at the start, the Bast Side Business Men's Club holds back and delays the in vestment. If the club bad acted when (Manager O'Brien attended its meeting we snouio. toaay see a iroigni oepoi on the East Side under way. Across the street on the southeast corner of East Washington and East First street, owned by a San Francisco man, an 11-story modern building will be started as soon as It Is settled that a freight depot will be provided. We cannot hope for developments in this district under the present conditions. The property in the district will re main dormant . until we get freight facllitiea "I should be glad to join in any movement which will result in obtain lng freight facilities for this district. Whether we can do anything or get anything now remains to be seen. We have the Zlegler amendment to contend with, and what the attitude of the present Council is toward freight facilities for the East Side no one can telL But something should be done at once". as the need of freight facilities Is growing more insistent." Among the firms advocating a freight depot for the East Side are: Phoenix Iron Works, Cudahy Packing Company, National Biscuit Company, Rasmussen & Co., Page Sc Son, Q. Frel wald, John Wood Iron Works, Notting ham Co., VaJvoline & Co., ' Scott & Munsell, Mollne Plow Company, Stude baker Company, Mitchell. Lewis & Staver, Averill Machinery Company, Freeman & Son, Joseph Supple, Joseph Paquet, Parlln & Orendorf, R. M. Wade & Co., Troy Laundry Company, Harris Ice Machine Works, Willamette & Columbia River T. Company. Pacific Bridge Company, Independent Paving Company, Standard Oil Company, Union Oil Company. J. M. Arthur & Co., Aultman & Taylor. Beall A Co., Poison Implement Company, National Cold Storage & Ieje Company, Oregon Hassam Paving Confpany and the John Deere' Plow Company. In making shipments these Arms must send their goods across bridges to the West Side freight depot, which causes great expense and delay in shipment. There are more than 20 vacant blocks in this district which have been filled at an average cost of $16,000. These would be built on if there were freight facilities, say East Side merchants. At present the tracks on East Second and East Third streets are occupied by freight cars. At the last meeting of the East Side Business Men's Club Dan Kellaher. chairman of the railroad committee, made a tentative report announcing that the committee is investigating conditions, and . would make a fuller report soon. A general conference among the business men and firms in terested is to be arranged to be held in. the near future to seek if the improve ment campaign can be waged more vehemently.
