Cornclluit, Thuntdny Nijchl
North I'lains held its first hitf
Ci'k'lirutinn lust Thursday nitfht,
when the new city was visited
by ultnut 100 l'ortlanders, anions
whom was John V. Stevens, of
the Hill lines in the Northwest.
Mr. Slovens was formerly with
the biir l'anama canal, and left
that position to k with Jim Hill
in railroad work. Mr. Stevens
mailt' an address outlining the
future of the Unite J, and Buid in
part:
"Of course, it would not pay
us to stop at North I'lains, and
if I told you that the terminus
would he at this oint you would
not believe me for no railroad
could kro to the expense that we
have pone in the construction of
the tunnel and other heavy work
and e.tect returns for the in
vestment, "I made up my mind that in
building this road to the coast
that the shortest route was Hie
Ust and for that reason took
over the United Railways prop
erty. It was the intention of
our company to go to the coast
by way of Scapixmse, but on ex
amining that route 1 found that
it would not do and it was a more
roundabout way.
"I have Kone over every foot
of the way between here and
Tillamook. The resources of
that Hcction are the greatest in
Oregon, These valleys, such as
the Tualatin, are the richest in
Oregon and can suport a laiye
Iopulation. With millionsof feet
of timber around Tillamook to
haul there is ample reason for
the construction."
Hon. H. I Cornelius. Hills!
ro's K)stmaster, delivered a forc
ible address, reviewing the future
of the best section of Washing
ton County, and John K. Zim
merman made one of his charac
teristic speeches.

GREAT CITV TOR FUTURE MARKET
Looks lor Half Million in Portland in
Six Years Ti ne
C. E. Harness, of New York
City, touring the coast for his
health, was in the city Saturday,
looking over conditions, and was
very favorably impressed with
what he witnessed. He came
out on the Southern and return
ed via the Oregon Electric. The
visitor stated that he conscien
tiously believed that Portland
would have a half million people
at the end of six years and he
says that inside of 10 years it is
to be the chief commercial city
on the Pacific coast.
"You do not realize what you
have here in Washington County.
at the very door of a great city.
You have a fertile soil, and when
one knows what has hapened to
territory surroundinggroat cities,
the vision of a splendid common
wealth is at once impressed upon
a person. Your hne transporta
tion facilities, your excellent
water supply, and your location
combine to make Washington
County an ideal place for small
farming and truck gardening.
In time you will have canneries
to take care of your surplus out
put, and you will always have a
groat market for fresh vegeta
bles in Portland. You will find
that an acre, with heavy fertili
zation will produce more than it
is now producing in many in
stances, and even at that 1 was
surprised to know of your yields.
Were I a young man, and in
search of investment, I would
look no further than Washington
County lands."
