Tacoma Eastern ! Running

J (Sseolat nsseteh e Th'wmU
Tacoraa. 'Wash.. Sept. 11. News
aoneg here today from the Btg Bottom
country that the Tacoma Eastern rail
road la running surveys from Morton.
on the Til ton river, In the direction of
Portland, and tha supposition is that
the road has that place aa ita destina
tion. ' ' -V
The road la now constructed and
trains are operating to within four miles
or morion. rroa Morton a survey is
lo being run eastward to Vance, on
the Cowllts river, and up that stream to
the pass, and the report that the road
Is to build also to North Yakima is
credited, by tbe .settlers. The Tipton
pass is also being Investigated by the
surveying parties, and if it presents no
arduous engineering dlsadvaatagea ' It
will probably be .selected as the best
crossing of the Cascades ea account of
the .rich country of the east side of
which it la the western gateway.
The line to Portland through the Big
Bottom country will traverse an exclu
sive territory, running . to . tha east .. of
the beaten path bow used by the North
ern Pacific and shortly to be invaded
by the union Pacific. The region is
rich in timber, mining and agricultural
and horticultural prospects- and would
make a road penetrating It immensely
profitable.
Tbe ownership of the Tacoma Eastern
Is still a .question of ' great doubt and
perplexity among railroad men here.
Certain it Is that the line is not owned
by the Union Paolflo or Milwaukee.
Many believe that' the North Coast or
the' Northwestern railroad are behind
it, but no information is to be had. The
fact, that Edward Coeklngham of Port
land, cashier of the Ladd sV Tiltos bank,
la its president, is accepted as evidence
bare that the road will eventually con-1
eect the Sound aad Portland. ,

also In the manufacture of elgarettee.

patronised the slot machines .freely,
