An effort will be made before th. Oregon railway commission to rellev. an almost unbearable state of affairs as to car .ervlce and .witching for South Portland industries. Th. mill men hav. framed a petition askinic th. commis sion to compel a connection of th. track. 6f the United Railway, company with thOBO of the Southern Pacific com" pany. . It 1. said the Southern Pacific com pany I. opposing the track connection for the reason that with such a connec tion the United Railways company would 'be able to divert business to the Portland & Seattle railway. At the pres ent time the Southern Pacific railroad and O. R. 4 N. Co. have a monopoly of all South Portland freight tonnage, as no other road can receive the business over the United Railways Front street track without passing; through the ter minal yards, where a .witching oharg. of $6 could be levied upon every car that waa turned over to the Hill lines. To Intrench It. company in thia posi tion with regard to South Portland freight ba.iness, the Southern Pacific has begun construction .of a cut-off be tween Beaverton and ' East Portland, with a bridge across the Willamette river at Elk Rock. By this route the Southern Pacific would be enabled to haul all of the SouthTPortland business out via Beaverton and deliver it to th. East Portland yard, of th. Southern Pa cific and O. ft. & N. companies, and leave the United , Railway, company without ally bu.in... from that source, al.o preventing th. Hill lines from et tlnr any of the business. The Oregon railway commission law Is plain and unmistakable in its term, requiring- trackage connection, and joint rate, between competing roads within the state. It 1. believed th. commission will without loss of time make an order requiring the Southern Pacific to per mit a connection of It. track.
