' . ; - ' . 1" Extension of tha Corvalllg A Eastern road Into Central Oregon instead of lha Columbia Southern la advocated by Wal l's Nash, who claims that tha two gov E arning principles of railroad conatrue - tion, gradients and distances, argue for Ills proposition. ' Mr. Naah. who has made a study of ; tha aituatioa. lai interior Oregon, - aald last night that ha oould prove to tha ' featlsfactlon of any reasonable person , that tha best results would be attained by building tha Corvalle- dc Eastern rather than extending on to Bend as propoaed, the road now running south from Bigga to Bhanlko. 7 "The Corvallla y Eastern." said Mr. ' Nash, "utilises tha Mlnto pass through the Cascade range of -mountains, and by . this e)ute the governing or maximum amuta from tha western aids la only t4 per tent- From the summit eaatward the gradea are not mora than from 1 to 1H per cent, with almost absolutely level roadway for the major portion of the distaace-to tha Snake river aa the eastern terminus. "The maximum grades on tha O. K. aV ,1. lines through Eastern Oregon, lead ing from the same point on Snake river. ve a per cent and tha aame maximum , is shown on the Southern Paclfle in Southern Oregon. . "As to tha Columbia Southern, it la a remarkable fact that the gradea are heavier between Biggs on the Columbia river and In the Interior of tha state than they are by way of the route pro posed for the Corvallls Eastern's ex tension. An ordinary freight engine (hauls only seven loaded ears over tha Columbia Southern grades, f "Tha reason for this is that tha Voute of the road la across a succession of ridges that run from east to west and over which the Columbia Southera must pass if It be extended southward. ' . "From a dose study of the' topography of tha country, one must conclude that , the natural and economical route for a road which is to develop central Ore ' gon Is via tha Mlnto pasa, and the ex : tension of the Corvallla at Eastern Is the thing that will accomplish this the most efficiently." 4 . Sketching a' snap, Mr. Nash then . showed the depression In tha central part of tha state that was once ths bottom of the great Inland sea which Included . all of that region. Tracing the surveyed route of the Corvallls road through Mlnto pass from Idanha, It was shown that the .J vi m a ucLJtjrairM twas from I - ..i . . . : i leeaers norm ana soatn, agalnat the preeent possibilities of the O.

Priveway Leading Up to the Acting Governor Atkinson of Hawaii Portland absolute command of tha trade of central Oregon, whereas the extension of tha Columbia Southern would compel ths hauling of produce out and gooda la via a route that Involves- too heavy grades add too long distance. .He claims that the - route to Portland from- the Soaker river -would be SO or. 40 miles shorter than that followed by the O. R. N.. and that It la shorter than via the Columbia Southern, If extended. It ha been known for several months' that the promoters of -the Christian cooperative colony, which la planning to purchass aeveral hundred thousand acres of land in tha southeastern part of the atate, ara endeavoring to buy the Cor vallls road, and If thla be done. It will be extended through the central part of the atate. The negotiations -of the . cooperative company are now in progress, and an nouncements are looked for within e week ot the auccess of plans apong the eastern capitalists who have been In terested In the project -; In the event ot the Corvallla ; road being extended, a cutoff would be con structed leading, from tha eastern side of the Cascade mountains northward to Portland, shortening the dlstanee sut flolentlv to make It approximately an air line from the central part-of the atate to this city. , The vaat possibilities of the, project are understood when It is stated that of the 10. 00O square mllea of area in the atate of Oregon, M.OOO in the central por tion are without railway transportation. That region, thought In peat years by many to be a desert. Is possessed of latent resouroee which make It a poten tial empire teeming with millions and. sending forth Immense - quantities or foodstuffs every year. WATER PROBLEM STILL UNSOLVED IN ST.

Nearly every cltlsea of the city at tended the meeting. - H. Powers, manager and principal ewper of the present water plant ad dressed the gathering, aa did also Mayor King and others. All favored a water system which would furnish a bettsr quality as wejl as a greater quantity than that provided at present Mayor King aald that he would take the mat ter up with the city council and that he would make a thorough investigation and secure estimates of coats.

For some time the police have re ceived reports that a poker game was being conducted on North Fourth atreet but prevloua efforts-to locate the gam Ing tablea proved futile. Yesterday afternoon a woman with a little child In her arms called on Captain Moore and told him that her husband waa fre quenting a gambling game In the north end and losing all his money over the tablea She aald that ha had lost $60 In the last week. She refused to give her name, but directed the offleere to the place. ' Patrolmen aaw men emerging from the place to which ahe dlreoted them and notified Captain Moore, who, with Policeman Evans, prepared f or a raid. It. was with difficulty that the police located the entrance to the gambling- rooms. . They , passed through a auooea slon of dark, narrow alleyways to the rear of the bulldlnga, where they found a room with a bolted and barred door. which they broke In. By the time the officers reached the gambling-room the Inmatea had, dl appeared through a secret door leading to the baaement and connected with the street half a block awey by alley. ways. . . I The room was lavishly fitted up. It contained two tablea and IS chairs and chips were scattered everwhere. Every thing Indicated that the occupants had mad a hasty exit Bignal wires lead lng Into the room from the outer door were discovered, as well as a chair where a lookout was stationed. Ths doors and everything In the room were taken to headquarters. The appa ratus had to be taken out- through tha saloon owned 'by Hill at Brown, by door which the proprletora atated had not been opened for weeks, : : "The . doors were bolted end barred stronger than thoss leading to any fan tan game in the city," aald Captain Moore. "The rooms were located In a place where the officers would never think of looking,' as they had the an pearance of storerooms for old Ju,nk."

It haa been authoritatively stated that the corporation intends to replacs 'all the old llghte with a new make of ara lamps.whlch will reduce the outages to a minimum. President Ooode of the company has notified the light commit tee of tha executive board that he de sired to hold a conference with them on the proposition, and a meeting will be arranged for this week. It is said that tha old contract Is' un sausractory to the lighting company, The corporation has objected to the de duction of 60 cents by the city for each outage, reported by the police, but the executive board interprets the contract to mean that the fine ahall be Imposed. Since July 1 the monthly bUls of the company have been allowed leaa "the amount deducted for outages. Tha July bill was. paid,., but the oompany refused to accept tha warrant allowed for the August and September claim a, and they are still in tha hands of the city audi tor. . . 1 Unless some satisfactory agreement Is reached between the Portland General Eleotrlo oompany and the city, suit will be brought by the corporation' to collect for the full amount of the claim pre' ssnted. It Is probable. In view of the fact that the corporation's plan to install a new lighting system, that the old con tract will be rescinded and a new con tract entered Into with the company. which will end the present complice- tlone.
