' Taeoma to v Portland and, during - the present summer ha will be gin .' the construction of such a line, from Taeoma to the Oregon metropolis. The belt Mn out of Taeoma. eliminate v Ing tho havy grade from Taeoma to Bouth Taeoma. Is the first step. His plan involves the construction of a new line from Taoewia to Tenlno, a Una that ; will be built under the name of the Port ' . .Townsend Southern, and which, as Us .-. name Implies, will have other connec tiona.'. ...... -' .' '.- This new road wilt be extended from V Qullcene,-' on Hood's canal, and connect " with the main line of the Northern Pa ' clflo at Olympla. From" Mocllps ' the Southern will run a branch to Oray'a I Harbor Northward from Mocllps the ' road will dntruct ' a Una along '.the ocean' shore to either the QulTlajrute or I . Dtckey river and follow up e valley " .1 mt one or the other to a , convenient ' point and cross over the low divide to ' the shores of the straits of Fuca. It will thence be built eastward to Port ; Crescent and-Parr Angeles and finally - to Port Townsend. The road Is already constructed from . Port . Townsend te Qulloen. - V " , ,'' -- "' When this la completed the Hill rail, roads will have a belt line around the entire Olympla peninsula with Its vast "timber, mineral and scenic resources.:! " It Is the Intention to have the water grade Una to Portland "completed by the nd of J07, so ihaxvhe finish of the work will synchronise with the comple tion of the. north bank railroad dowa the "Columbia river, and the bridging of that stream at Vancouver. .One of the Important details In securing the water-grade will be the construction of a new road around the Newaukum hill, In order to eliminate the grade betweea ; ' Newaukum- and Kapavlne, Just south of , ' Chehalls. The new trackage will reduce . the grade from one to a- half of one per '. cent. . enabling motive power to haul ' double tratnloada, at compared with present operatlona. . ' ' - The Northern Pacific hae bought the .' Taeoma Mill company's property, which It wants for right of way on las 'new rout out of the elty, and also for dock ' age. The purchase price la reported t6 . be 11.000.000. A tunnel a mile long will ; be dug by the road from the harbor ,- line to the narrows. .- " While all these operatlona entail an . enormous amount of effort and expense, : In the end they materialise the dream of James X Hill, who, years ago, saw his trains reaching tide water without . climbing the Cascade mountains. The Union Pacific, the great rival of the Hill lailroada, will build Into the city dewn practically the earn grade the Northern -Paclflo-1 now moving neaven ana eartn to evade. Neverthe . less, the nsw road will have a shorter route Into the elty, and will pssa direct ly through the heart of Taeoma, In stead of making a circuit around It ASKS RELIEF COMMITTEE TO FIND HER HUSBAND Mrs. P.
