IS THE : OKEGOltflAir, TUESDAY, -' BIAKCH 4,ri9I3.: L W. HILL EXPECTS PROGRESS III 1913 Plans for Brinoina Settlers to Oregon Occupy Time While in Portland. , EASTERN INTEREST SHOWN Incursion of Newspaper Men to Visit William Hauler la Projected and Prosperity of Railway Is Sub ject of Comment. Jj. w. Hill, chairman of the Great Northern board of directors, is more Interested in populating; the vacant ag ricultural lands of Oregon than he la in huildlner railroads. Mr. Hill was in Portland all yester day. Today he Is solng- to take a trip over the Oregon Electrlo to Eugene and hack and may visit the Legislature ai Salem. Some of the legislators have been urging Mr. Hill to address them i today. Plans of bringing settlers to Oregon received his serious consideration yes. terday. He talked the subject over with W. P. Davidson, president of the Oreiron and Western Colonization uonv pany, with whom he Is interested. The company acquired 800.000 acres of the original military wagon road grant in 1911 and since then have been organis ing their agencies throughout the country with the intention of disposing of the agricultural acreage at low prices. They have land in this tract that they can sell as low as 15 an acre. Heavy Immigration Predicted, "Our inquiries show that the Eastern farmers are greatly Interested in Ore gon." said Mr. HllL "I think Inquiries here indicate, too. that there will be a good, heavy movement to the unsettled parts of the state this year. He con ferred also with J. H. Toung, president of the local Hill lines. Mr. Hill hopes this year to bring a large party or newspaper men to ore. gon and conduct them on a tour of the state. He had such an Incursion in mind last year but the big political conventions interfered with his plans. The objective point will be "Bill" Hanley's ranch in Harney County. Mr. Hanley was in town yesterday and re newed his Invitation extended to the newspaper men of the East when he was a member of the western uover- nors' party that visited the Eastern cities over a year ago. Mr. Hill was greatly pleased yester day when he learned that Franklin K. I.ane had been appointed Secretary of the Interior In President Wilson's cabinet. He denied knowledge of the reputed Intention of the Hill Interests to form an agrement with the Western Pacific ti build a connecting link between the properties of the two roads In Ore gon and California respectively, giving the Gould system entrance to Portland and the. Hills their long-sought en trance to San Francisco. Carl Gray Complimented. In commenting on the excellent showing made by the Great Northern In Its report of business for the last six months of 1912, which testified to heavily increased earnings, he said: "Why shouldn't we be doing good business? We serve the best part of the country. Our territory Is prosper ous. Portland. I am glad to say, con tributed handsomely to the big volume of business we handled last year." He alBO called attention to 'the fact that th- Great Northern's earnings have grown gradually since Carl R. Gray left the presidency of the North Bank road In Portland last May to be come president of the Great Northern. Mr. Hill and his family will leave to night for California.
