tr
'- The greatest railroad, terminal fight
' In the history of Portland is 'te be
ought to a finish In the ft deral court.
Judge FraMr. before whom tha prelim
; taary raund waa fought, haa thrown tba
caaa into tha United 8 tetse court, and
for tha next alz week a large and ex-
pensive force of attorneys for eaoh alda
' will ba' Immaraad In -tha statutes relat
ing to tha right of minent domain.
. Tha battla haa broken out of tha tar-
' (ninal controversy between the Hill and
i Harriman railroad in North Portland.
; Tha eonteat involves eleven blocka and
. fractional blocka, valued at about $710,
' 00, being a portion of the around ra-
ceotly purchaaed by the UN llnee for
' admitting the north bank road and pro
Tiding terminal 'and dock facllitlea. .
" Whan tha Portland Seattle- rail
road's plana were first laid out in North
Portland tha Hill people, it Is aaid. of
1 fared to eomiromiae on routes Into tha
terminal yards by purchasing adjacent
. around and trading with the. North-' a
elf to Terminal company to avoid cross-
: Ina all the . latter' a tracks at Tburmaa
and Savler streets. The offer waa re-
. Juaed. and the tiill ' road proceeded to
i ( purchase a vast amount or property and
. provide for Its owa terminals entirely
. v Independent of theexlstlng terminal
company, in - which". tha Kill roads own
' I only 40 per cent as against per cant
' of atock owned by the Harriman lines.
, - - . atava Spaa Two lfWloma.
- Including tha Weldler dockage tract.
. and all the blocka and fractional blocka
purchased for terminals, tha Hill roads
have apent In the last six months- more
' than St.0v0.0v0 for real .estate on, the
' weat aide of tha Willamette river. . in
V addition to about $121,000 for the atrip
of land to be utilised for making the
-'' cut through the-peninsula between the
Willamette river bridge site and Maegly
junction: v - -
! . In acquiring four rows of blocka run-
nlng north and south between Ninth
' and - Fourteenth, north oft Kearney
v atreet. the Portland BeatUe Railroad
' company bought ; all but v block lit,
i owned by Ellla O. Hughea, between
Ninth and Tenth atreets. Thta block
waa left out because ha owner as lead
' $100,000 for it and tha company thought
tha -price too high. - Later the North
Pactflo Terminal company purchased the
. 1 block and paid tha price asked.- r
The block, as It later transpired,
offered a atrategle position for a tight
which tha terminal company now make
, by . assaulting tha". Portland V Seattle
" all along the Una of blocka between
Ninth and Tenth atreeta, from Kearney
to tba Willamette liver. The terminal
company - brought auit In' the circuit
' court to condemn the around, for rights
" of way for terminal track The Port
i land Seattle company's attorneys yea-
' terday applied for a romoval of the suit
' to the United States court on the ground
- of dlverae cttltenahlp, as tha company
-, Is a Washington corporation. Judge
Fraser today gran ted the petition and
tha light will pasa Into the federal
a, court. The parties have until the first
1 Monday In October . to make np the
issues in the ease and perfect the record,
; ! '-. Besulta At Traeertala. r '
,1 Results of tha battla are difficult to
foretell, it la said, aa tha Oregon state
laws have dealt with the right of eml-
rent domain in a special way. An en
' abllng act passed .some yeore ago In the
' ; Intereat of ,the Oregonlan Railway com
' pany, built from the foot of JetTerson
street to Alrlle by William Raid, haa
' opened a field for argument by the at
torneys In - the esse and the -battle be
.' tween the O. R. N. and tha Oregonlan
railway builders in South Portland will
! be fought over again with slightly al-
tared condltlone.' '.'..' ,
Tha Harriman companies have recent
ly made emphatlo tlalms in local
printed interviews that the present ter
' ' mlrial yards are greatly Inadequate for
the handling of t raffle, and statements
have been made that the aanulsltlon of
, mora ground la imperative. The row ef

j company's grounds. It la proposed, by
tthe .Terminal company, to enlarge, ita
.1 grounds by tha ribbing of these blocks
' with new tracka, and It la claimed by
the company that the Hill roads can
, ' find equally good ground farther west.
' The situation ,ia similar to that of two
" men who want ; tha same ground ..on
.which to stand and -one la trying to
push the other aside. .

prevented from falling by a safety strap are all that saved him from the same fate, his comrade.
