From Lower Yards of Terminal

Bridge to Compete With Hill.
- A double-track- tunnel under the pe
ninsula, removal and rebuilding of the
preeent steel bridge In Portland, and
a short, level railroad of double tracks
from the lower yards of the Northern
Pacific Terminal company to the Co
lumbia river bridge is the program of
the O. R. A N. and Southern Pacific
railroads and the builders of the Har
riman extension to the Bound.
Engineers of the O. R. A N. company,
acting jointly In the Interest of the
Oregon a Washington Railroad com
pany, are setting stakes for a tunnel
under, the peninsula, and a survey la
being run for a double-track, water-
grade railroad on a straight Una from
the rwnmBTa
to a

near the
chr shops, to which paint It is proposed
to move the present steel bridge of the
u. k. n. company.
The Harriman lines , management In
New York hss fit last awakened to the
fact that It IS about' to be defeated by
the Hill lines In the great economic
battle for transportation supremacy In
Portland, and that some strenuous work
must be done to eave the day.
As the plans of the Hill companies
have slowly unfolded and the un-
equaled facllltlee for quick and cheap
operation of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads In and out of
Portland, to the east and to tbe sound,
have become apparent, they have spread
dismay In the ranks of the Harriman
management. The uneatlefactory situ
ation which developed In tbe Northern
Pacific Terminal company's yards has
been a bagatelle compared with the gen
eral Inconvenience of operation of tbe
O. R. N railroad and Ite allied com
panies Into thla city via the steel
bridge-
Added to the Sullivan's gulch grade
and the curvature at the east entrance
of the steel bridge Is the undesirable
location of the west side yards, and the
difficulties that will attend any rear
rangement of then?. The attempt start
ed years ago by General Manager Moh
ler to make a water-grade line around
the peninsula to Clarnle for heavy
freight trains has been carried forward
the last year, and probably would have
sufficed for the O. R. a N. neede alone.
But when the extension to the sound
waa determined upon It became apparent
that the 'trip around the peninsula and
the sharp curvature northward that
would be necessitated at the east end
of tha present steel bridge would be a
eerious handicap
Then It waa that the management
turned to the larger problem of re
shaping the entire plan of the O. R. a
