FEtK THAT Y F. FAVOKS TACOMA
Nothing Yet Delioitcly Decided -
The
Company will Move Seen.
There is ttill hope that the pro-
Kitwd Nehaletn railroad wilt run
through Washington county. The
Portland stockholders will try hard
to shut out the Northern Pacific, as
they think that that company
would naturally direct Nehalem
trade to Tacoma. Tuesday Ore-
goman says:
February 2, the Portland, Ne
halem & Tillamook Railroad Com
pany was incorporated and since
then surveyors have been in the
field reconnoitering the country
for better routes than those previ
ously known. They have found
easier grades than old surveys
showed and have added a good
leal of accurate information re
garding the native resources of the
region. An examination of pros
pective bond buvers is now in
progress.
The first six weeks of the incor
poration were consumed in corre-
pondence and interviews with some
of the transcontinental lines to as
certain whether trackage into
Portland could be had and on
what terms. As all the transcon
tinental lines are combined in in
terests, no action regarding new
lines is taken without tbeir consul
tation and acquiescence, hence it
wis not until after the Southern
Pacific annual meeting three weeks
ago that any definite knowledge
was secured as to what railroad
connection the Portland, Nehalem
Tillamook Railway could
make with other lines. As
that company waB incorporated
purely for protection of fortland's
interests in the Nehalem country
in order that the local traffic
should not be diverted to other
points, the company, after careful
consideration, recently resolved not
to connect with any other railway
xoept in or around the suburbs of
Portland.
A surveying parly started out
some weeks ago to the passes on
the coast range in order to see if it
were possible to reduce the grades
shown. bv the old surveys. This
party has been successful and as a
result, instead of following the Up
per Nehalem pass formerly survey
ed, where the divide was crossed
on a 2 per cent grade, a pass some
miles further south has been die
covered which if adopted will cer
tai uly reduce the grade to 1 J per
cent and leave no occasion tor a
tunnel. This surveying party is
still in the field and when it shall
return, in a few davB, action will
be taken by the board of directors
definitely locating the route through
the coajt range to Nehalem and
Tillamook Bay. '
Tbe entrance into this city is still uq
determined lor the reason that the tun
net route into Portland on a I per cent
grade will coat $270,000 to $336,000
niore than by connecting with tbe aouth
em Pacific at Hillsboro or Oswego, or
with the Northern Pacitic 11 miles Iron)
Portland at the Cornelias cap. Te
bond-holilers-to-be, having no special or
local interests in Portland, and merely
desirous of a sound investment for their
money, are in favor of that route which
will cost the least money irom me ne
halem to get into this city. Although
the Portland, Nehalem & lillaniook
Company is an Oregon incorporation
the stock which its tutxeribere possess is
too limited to dictate terms, and conse
quently much time is lost in trying tc
reconcile all interests, while the promis
ed Scapoose branch of the Northern P
oitic is used to lead investors to believe
that Tacoma is the proper place to lead
the t rathe of the Nebalem country.
Representatives of these houilholrters-
to-be are here now looking into these
matters and express surprise at the traf
fic showing. They find that although
timber cruisers aud United States esti
mates of Nehalem and Tillamook timber
average 35,000 feet to the acre, yet tak
ing the average to be only 2o,ooo feet to
the acre, the freight money to be earned
by railroads building into the Nehalem
and Tillamook country, at $1.50 per looo
