Prominent Railroad Man Declares
"That Decision to Extend CorvsJlis
A Eastern Waa No't ' Effected by
Sentiment, but by Necessity. ' .
"E. H. Harriman has an option on the
'Corvallia Eastern . rail way, and can
take ever the Astoria A Columbia River
road whenever ha wanta It. . '
" .. The Columbia Southern will not
' be extended southward,
i "If tha Harriman interests traverse
central Oregon, twlth a. road of thetr
own conatruotlon. It will be the Corvallia
line that will be built onward -to On
; tarlo." 1 .-
Tha foregoing la the substance of
atatement made yesterday by one of tha
beat Informed railroad men of tha north
', west, who haa been In a position to
learn the facta relating to building
plana. His opinion la regarded as
worthy of acceptance and hla atatement
of Any thins as fact, la taken at full
value. , .
Oradas Vroaibltlve. T'
"I happen to know Just why Mr Har-
- rtman doesn't extend , the Columbia
'Southern -It's because - he knowa.that
' tha trades are almost prohibitive en
- that Una and that the COrvallla East-
era can be built to Ontario from Idanha,
, the present' western terminus, crossing
' the Cascade range of mountains, and the
maximum grade that would .be encoun
tered would be-1 pet" cent on the. west-
am aide. Of the range and 1H Pr cent
on tha eastern side. ... ,
"There Is no mystery in his attitude
. toward the Columbia Southern. It Is
. not a matter of feeling nor of anything
else than mere topography, of tha ooun
, try and economy of operation,
'.The Columbia Southern. - now ? runs
from Blgga on the Columbia river south
ward to Bhanlko.- An ordinary f reign)
engine can pull only alx or seven loaded
cars. Imagine a railroad hauling the
Immense traf f lo that will develop In
central Oregon over grades that entail
' such heavy expense for motive pewer
and such alow running time., ' ' :. y-
v i Too Mmoh CUmblag. i , '
"The country travereed by the "Coi
' lumbta ; aputbem, .la formed .of , -sue
" cession of high ridges runninreaatward
. and wrstwardL with deep valleys be
. tween. To go" southward " Serosa such
a country means that you, must climb
ridge, after ridge and bear. enormous
expense of operation, v
"For Instance, tha reason Jamee J.
Hill comes down the north bank of the
..' Columbia is to have the advantage of
lighter grades than he encounters In
grossing the Cascade mountains In going
to the sound, and when all haa been said
about that north bank plan, the only real
. motive that remain, after the process
of elimination has been carried out,, It
the easy grade: -, .. -.
"Mr. Harriman never will extend the
(Columbia Southern because' he knows
hat It would be bad railroad Judgment,
, but -1 am Informed that he wanta to
extend the Corvallia eV Kastern-because
thereby he would get into centr Ore
gon from western Oregon at the mini
mum of grades and attain tha object
aimed at with leas expense of opeta
: tion. - . , -
.. auato pass am Sasy Way.
.' "It haa been proved by tha engineers
that the Corvallls Eastern may be
extended from Idanha. tha terminus on
the western slope of the Cascades, to tho
summit of the mountalna through the
M into pass, between the Three Sisters
and Mount Jefferson, with a maximum
grade of I per cent; cross the mountains
and go down tha eastern alope with a
maximum grade of 1 to 1 per cent,
until the great basin of central Oregon
la reached, after which tha road would
run In practically level country to On.
tarlo, with the Malheur river as the
Duflet at the eaatern terminus. -
"Such a road would be better from a
strateglo point of view than the Colum
bia Southern, too, 'for feeders could be
built north and south from the main line
to serve every corner of the ,61,000
square miles of country In the central
. part of the state that now haa no rati
' lines. .. .
"I know that Mr. Harriman Is In a po
sition to take ever toe Corvallia ft East
ern at any tlma be electa. Mr. Ham
mond, who owns' the road, la Interested
with Mr. Harriman In Immense tracts of
redwood -In . California and in timber
lands In other localities, and not only
would flnd.lt to. his advantage to sell
the Corvalla As Eastern Una to him, but
alao to dispose of tha stock In the Asto
ria Columbia River ros.4. to tha Union
Paclfla magnate. . ,
"My Information is that Mr. Hammond
owns 60 per oenf In the Astoria, and
General Hubbard and H. E. Huntington
the other 60 per cent.-- . ''" .
The hesitancy ow tha part of Mr.
Harriman to make extensions himself
is due to. the'. fact that If he were to
make tha Corvallls or the Astoria road
hla own and a part of tha O. R. N.
or' tha Southern Pacific, he would have
to apply the oomnAn point rats to all
tonnage hauled over either road, which
would mean that ha would simply add
to his haul without Increasing his re
ceipts on freight originating In the ter
ritory served exclusively . by those
roads. '.
,'wm Sxtead to Ontario.
1 "Nevertheless I believe be will ex
tend the Corvallia line onward to On
tario and open the interior of Oregon. ,
"If the Corvallia Una be extended, aa
I am certain it will be, a branch would
be built northward, from, the western
alope of the Cascades to Portland, prob
ably through Silverton or some point
near 'that town. ;.-.--
"Taka the ' map and study the geog
raphy of the state and you will see that
the Corvallls extension, as I have Indi
cated, would glv an almost airline be
tween Portland? and Ontario, with 10
to 40 miles less distance and lighter
grades -, than are " now. encountered on
the main line of the O. R. ft N. through
the Blue mountalna. . ' . , ;'
' ' z&glaeers Decide. v- I
"Railroad men must obey the com
mand of tha engineer who surveys the
lines.' , It is not the operator In Wall
street, but the rough-dressed -and scien
tific . surveyor,! who-determines where
railroads shall run. And they are the.
felowa who have Issued the ukase that
central Oregon must be entered via tho
Corvallls extension rather than via the
Columbia Southern', over prohibitive
grades." .. '
It la understood that the Harriman
Interests may select . the pass ; farther
south through the Cascades, connecting
with the Southern Pacific near. Albany,
but The Journal's Informant inclined to
the' belief that the entrance would be in
the manner set forth In his statement.
