Many peraona believe that the eipecieo

getting an , independent footing on the
waat side to connect with tha proposed
route through University Park to Mock
bottom - and thence - acroaa tha ' river
about, Bwan island or ..slightly above

In position to know that tba Island has

would either affirm or deny tha reports.
Ha answered that ha would aay nothing
on tha subject Othera believed to ba In

reticent. Buck an attitude on tha past of
those working for tho company would
ba expected as. a matter, of course until

repeatedly that ba did not act for tha
Northern Paclllo and when Interviewed
ssld ha had baan buying no land there.
Mr. Flanders said ha. bad been buying
neither for himself nor othera In that
district..:. V,v.- ... -
Public expectation haa been Intensely
eager over tha plana , of the Northern
Paclflo. Jts operations along tho Colum

Portland will be made a great terminal
point. Positive Information haa been
given of the approach .from across tha
