Sag laeexa Oct Together.
To secure the best terminal results 1
has been necessary for the chief en
sineera at the II1U and Harrlman lines
and the terminal superintendent of
tiwitt and company to get together-and
work out a system of trackage thnt
would harmonise. This has been dono,
anfr a very oomplete plan has been
wn and passed upon by the Pacific
UBR I cmeii ul Kit mo I .Jiiu.ui tvn
oerned, after which the plan has been
sent on to the St. Paul and Chicago
.heads or the roads.
A final decision and orders to proceed
with construction work may come to
Portland headquarters any day, and la
expected very soon. In view or trie need
for transportation facilities at the site
or the proponed pactum piam. 1 11 is im
mense Dlant requires a targe aite, all
of which must be made, and Involves
the moving of a vast amount of earth
and the currying out of extensive sani
tary engineering plans. The site is re
mote from present railroad tracks, and
the company needs a line direct to the
site for bringing In machinery and ma
terials. Wo Bridge Decision Beached.
Regarding the current rumor that the
Harrlman companlea have completed
plans for a new double-track steel
bridge, and that work Is about to bo
commenced on such a structure to take
the place of the present steel bridge,
Mr. O'Brien was not confirmatory, al
though he stated that in course of an
nual Inspections of the present bridge
for making repairs plans for double and
single-track bridges had been made. He
stated that no decision had been reached
regarding the bridge question, but ad
mitted that in his Judgment a double
track bridge would ultimately be built
Asked regarding the recently pub
lished rumor that a number of the latest
gasoline motor cars would be sent to the
O. R. A N. company for operation be
tween The Dallea, Pendleton and points
east, he said: i
JTothlng in the Bomor.
"There is nothing In the rumor. The
facta retarding these gasoline motors
are that the Union Pacific company
at Its shops in Omaha has built about
20 new motor cars, and very Important
improvements have been made over the
cars that were tested on the Pacific
coast. They Improve the cars in con
struction Just as they do automobiles.
"The new cars are, I undorstand,
About four times as powerful as the
KO-horseoower car we tested here. They
have also succeeded In muffling the
explosions, and In starting the car more
easily. We have been asked If we
could use two or three of these cars
on the Oregon lines, and are now mak
ing inquiries bs to their construction
and practicability for the Oregon
grades. No decision has been reached."
A contract ha been let to Robert
Wakefield tor construction of tha con
crete piers for the Southern Pacific
brldg to ba built over the Willamette
river at Oswego. Work cannot be
started until the river recedes to Ita
low stage. The steel has been ordered,
and the spans will be $.00 feet long.
The center pier will be 110 feet high,
of which 8$ feet will be submerged.
Tn w shore piers will have a
helghth of 60 feet.

(On Tillamook Bay)
Just across the bay from Bay. City, a responsible com
pany is establishing what promises to be the largest sum
mer resort on the Pacific Coast This company wfll
spend nearly a million dollars. The improvements con
templated will require lumber of all kinds, hardware,
v groceries, men and hundreds of thousands of dollars'
worth of material of all kinds. The merchants that get
their business started now will be the beneficiaries. The
railroad company is sending another small army of men
to work on the new road. This means business for the
local merchants. The way to make money in Bay City
is to buy now, when lots can be had for one third what
they will 1e fold for when the railroad is completed. A
score of fortunes awaits a score of live men in Bay City,
right now. Site for the first sawmill will be donated.
Other inducements are offered to other lines of business.
