A written statement came out of the office of John F, Stevene. head of the JS1U lines In" Oregon, today telling in a general way of the plans of the United Railway as -to construction of ,Hs Portland-TUlamoolt line, and clearing up Borne details as' to Its operation. .. . '. Through steam service will be used from Portland to -Tillamook, but for a distance of about 80 miles from this City the road will be "electrified" for local lnterurban . traffic According to engineers, the; run from .Portland to Tillamook will consume about two hour. , . To avoid transporting the freight taken from the Oregon Electric and routed .to outside points, through the streets of Portland, a -cutoff , will be built from the Forest Orove , division of the Oregon Electrlo to the United Railways line at a point about three miles west of Cornelius tunnel. Freight from the : wlllamett valley, destined for the east, will be transferred over the 'cutoff to the freight yards of the North Bank. ' The statement follows: "Since the management of the United Railways company, has been In the present hands, Its affairs have been cons' thoroughly into and plans for fu ture development have, been formulated In a general way. The company has completed the final location of Its pro posed line through y to Tillamook Bay, and has secured the greater part of the right of way:, and necessary terminal 'grounds at the bay. , r.-:- .. HlgU Orads Boad.' "The line, when constructed on the "present location and plans, will be a high grade piece of railroad, with un usually easy curvature and long tan gents, considering the character of the country traversed. It will be entirely ? practicable to cover the 70 odd miles from Portland to the bay In two hour or less. In fact. It Is expected that ex press 'trains can handle people to and from the beaches to the Portland sta tlon In two hours, v. r "The work of -construction Trill neces- "sarily be heavy, . owing to .the high standard adopted for Uie new lino. There will be'a number of tunnels, the long et being about one and one quarter ..rollea in '.length... The road. afte.r pass. , lhg through Cornelius Gap through a 4000 foot tunnel now. under, construc tion, will strike directly across the up per Tualatin valley through Cedar canyon and to upper Gales creek, thence .through the crest of the Coast range and down the picturesque Wilson river ; to. the ahorea-oUiUamopk. by,.. - yrax 8t sos&io suae. ; "Every mile of lt"vill afford a scenic , ride of rare beauty. ; Built with gener ous standards of roadbed, fald with 90 , pound rails, fully tie plated, heavily ' ballasted, and provided wltlj . modern - slghal and every device necessary to Insure the safety, comfort and speed of travelers, the line will represent the ex penditure of several millions of dollars, but which, In the opinion of Its owners, Will be Justified by the great unde veloped resources of the country to" be opened up and the certain future growth and Importance of Portland, v' - "The- company has placed orders for the electrical machinery, Including sub . stations, necessary to equip the line for !0 miles, or', to the west side, of the Tualatin valley.

Judge Harris, following the law laid down by the supreme court, has decided that a riparian land owner has no traf fic rights over a gravel deposit situated below the ordinary high water line, especially when the documentary title to the land gives the boundary as the meanders of the stream." Five prominent Roscburg men own land abutting the south Umpqua river, In this city, and during their 13 years of ownership have charged 10 cents for each load of gravel hauled away from the beds deposited by the - annual freshets along the line of -their prop- vs AJh : .1 im... erty, as also did their predecessors. A teamster named Frank Andrus hauled a large quantity of gravel from the place and refused to, pay for It. The property owners then brought suit against him for damages end to enjoin him from hauling any more gravel from the bed,. Judge Harrla' decree dis misses the complaint. One of . the property owners said that the cas would be appealed to the supreme court . Judge Har-rls, decision Is of great im portance to Roseburg. Several valuable gravel bars in or abutting the river here, claimed exclusively by the owner of adjoining lands, will be accessible (Q,the general public without cost if the supreme court, stands by Judge Harris' decision.
