USE HARRIMAN TRACKS
MUwankee Mystery Explained by Affi
davit Auoaneemeat Made.
The mystery of the Chicago, Mllwau
. kaa St. Paul railway compena fail
ure to purchase terralnala In Portland
Is at last made plain by the semi-official
announcement today definitely . lo
cating the route to the Paolflo ocean.
The main Una construction is definitely
eel fled to Tacoma. From that point the
Milwaukee will operate lta trains over
. Harrlman tracks south to Portland and
. north to Seattle. ., .
Thla la the plan at tha present time,
and la not likely to be changed unless
there comes about a general compro
mise agreement that would embrace tha
operating Intereata of the Northern Pa
cific, Great Northern, Union Paolflo and
Southern Pacific railroads, in which
vent the Milwaukee would alao be a
factor. These statements are vouched
for by one of the best-pouted railroad
offtctala who la familiar with tha con
struction and operating departments of
tha Harrlman and Milwaukee railroads.
Ha said: . ..
"Mr. Earllng. president of the Mil
waukee, la not a mere figurehead In tha
directory of the Union Pacific, nor la
Mr. Harrlman aolely ornamental la the
BC Paul road's directory. They are al
lied for a definite and Important pur
pose, and that Is to control a fair share
of the traffic, of tha Pacific northwest
In 'competition with the Hill roads and
zts Burlington.-
Tha Milwaukee, by building to Ta
coma, tape the heart of the Hill terri
tory, geta deep-sea shipping connections,
aad by cooperation with the Harrlman
11 nee at Portland geta every physical
advantage of owning rails to Portland
and Seattle. Its tralna can be operated
aver the Southern Paclflo tracks be
tween Portland and Seattle with all es
sential freedom, under a trackage agree
ment, and tha same expense of con
struction will serve both companlaa for
all practical purposes."
' This Information dispels all tha the
r cries heretofore promulgated aa to tha
" Milwaukee having purchased the lines
of tha Oregon Water Power Railway
company, and the talk of a bridge at
Lady's Island, unless tha allied Har
rlman lines should be nnable to effect
A satisfactory arrangement with the Hill
roada In regard to tha Vancouver bridge,
ia which event the Harrlman companies.
In conjunction with the Milwaukee,
..would undoubtedly construct their own
bridge, pobably at Ladles' Island, as
tha Trout dale extension from SL Johns
tape the Columbia liver to great advan
- tags at that point, and there la a feas
ible route northward via Hocklneon and
Proebstel for the proposedNPortland-Se-attla
line of the Harrlman companies.
