20 -THE MORNING OEEGOXIAN. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29.-1915. D.W. R. 8N. WILL EXPEND $800,000 Lighter Rails Between Port land and Huntington to Be Replaced by 90-Lb. Steel. WORK WILL START AT ONCE Material to Be Taken l"p Runs 75 and 80 Pounds and Best Will Be Inid on Central Oregon l : Line Building From Vale. Confident that business is improving and that it will continue to improve, directors of the O.-W. R. & N. Company yesterday authorized the immediate ex penditure of 800,000 for rail renewals on various parts of the main line be tween Portland and Huntington. ' Some of this work, explained J. P. O'Brien, vice-president and general manager, will begin immediately and probably will be completed before the end of the present year. Other work will be carried out early In 1916. Improvements Are LJated. Following is a description of the vari ous units of the improvement, together with the estimated cost of each: Troutdale to Bonneville, 25 miles, re lay with 90-pound steel, replacing ex isting 75-pound stee; cost 190,000. Blalocks to Coyote, 37 miles, relay with l0-pound steel, replacing exist ing 75-pound steel; cost 1290,000. Echo to Yoakum, 10 miles, relay with 90-pound steel, replacing existing 80 pound steel: cost 80.ooo. Pendleton to Gibbon, 25 miles, relay with 90-pound steel, replacing exist ing 80-pound steel, cost $190,000. Oibbon to Duncan, nine miles, relay with 90-pound steel, replacing existing SO-pound steel, cost $50,000. The aggregate distances to be cov ered bv these renewals is 106 miles. When this work is completed the O.-W. R. & N. Company will have 90 pound rails over its entire right of way (between Portland and Huntington, a distance of 405 miles, with the excep tion of about 30 miles between La Gritnde and Huntington, which is laid with 80-pound rails. The track on these units is on a roadbed that is almost level and in long tangents. The few existing curves are slight. The first work will be done on the Ti outdale-Bonneville unit. This, to gether with the Blalocks-Coyote and the Gibbon-Duncan units will be done this year. ,o Contracts to Be Lt. The Keho-Yoakum and the Pendleton Gibbon units will be done early next year. None of the work will be per formed by contractors, the company using its own forces. It is understood that some of the old 75-pound and 80-pound rails that are to be removed will be -used by the com pany on its new line being built across Central Oregon from Vale. Some of this old steel has been down only a few years and can be utilized on those lines, where the traffic is not so heavy as on the main line. Some of the existing SO-pound rails were laid as early as 1908, and at that time were considered sufficiently heavy to meet the traffic demands for an in-dt-tinite period. These rails not only are unable longer to bear the heavy service to which they ore HUbjected, but they have been re lieved of :i part of their normal bur den by construction of double tracks on those units over which the traffic is heaviest. As a part of the Union raciflc sys tem the O.-W. R. & N. Company is des tined eventually to be double tracked over its entire length. The Union Pa cific now is double tracked from Omaha westward to Granger, and the Oregon tliort Line has many important units iouble tracked between Granger and Huntington. More than 100 miles of the O.-W. R. & N. main line between Portland and Huntington is double tracked. Judge Stevenson Arrests, Tries and Fines Himself. Guilty rlcn Kntered Asninat Own 'barge of lrlving Auto Without Tail Light Lit. WHHN Municipal Judge Stevenson was closing the garage door upon !his automobile Wednesday night, he taw that the tail-light was not burn ing. He had just returned from a ride about the city. "ll'm. wonder how long I've been running with that light out?" he asked liimself, musingly. "I've fined follows for that very thinji." be continued, in his little soliloquy. "I suppose 1 really should lie arrested for it. Well, why not? I know what I'll do. I'll arrest myself." So .liulge Stevenson placed John H. Stevenson under arrest aivd cited him to appear iti Municipal Court yester day on a charge of driving his auto mobile without the tail-light burning. He promised himself that he would appear to answer to the charge, and, considering himself a reputable citizen a ml not likely to flee the city to evade prosecution, allowed himself to go on his own recognizance. Yesterday morning Judge Stevenson nppeared early at the Municipal Court and signed a complaint against him self charging violation of the city ordi nance. He then entered his name on the morning police docket. I lis own was one of the first cases culled. "Guilty or not guilty?" Judge Steven-i-on asked himself. "Guilty, yeronner." was the reply to l'.imsrlf. "five dollars or five days," he sen tenced himself. And he paid the fine.
