On of the most significant moves . shedeftng light on the etili existlngr struggle between the Hill and Harnman road plana for. su premacy in transportation oetween Pug et sound and . the gulf came to light with the publication of a notice of stockholders' meeting of the Ncvada-Callfornia-OregoVi railway. ' , The notice in itself has no particular import to the average reader ; but to those who have watched for years tho progress of the rivalry between the Hill ' and Harrlman Interests , it is , fraught with gneat interest. ' '. The notice states ' that the object of - tho meeting is to amend the original ar ticles of Incorporation of the Nevada Calif omia-Oregon railway and to pro vide for the extensions of the road a distance of ' 600 miles northwesterly, from Reno instead of 200 miles as for- merly. The intention appears to ex- ' tend the road to The Dalles on the boun dary line between Oregon and Washing ton. -v-::-';; .The proposed change indicating per haps In a remote way the Intention of ; the management reads as follows; v;':' "From the town of Reno In the state of Nevada the country of Washoe, state of Nevada, into and, through the counties of Sierra, Lassen and Modoc in the state of California and through Jhe counties of Lake, Crook and Wasco in the state of Oregon to a point near the city of Dalles, on the boundary line be-, tween the states of Washington and Oregon, a distance of about B00miles." In the Hill plans, tbere is seen the construction of the Smith road out of Sacramento due east to, the south elbow of Lake Tahoe and the contemplated ex tension of the Virginia & Truckee south .ward with possible s Junction. -':, This 'would give an outlet from San Francis co to Reno via ' the ? Smith road , and the V. & T., and a farther outlet north via N. C O. Wlth an extension over the, Columbia' river the direct route in to Portland and. Puget sound would be reached. , .'''( (Speelil DtapV to The JnaraiM ';' Eugene, Or., Deo. 10.

The ..advantages of this' form of light are ; many other than their appearance. - The cost in the first pldce is lebs than that of the present form of lighting, and the amount of light produced Is double that now given. The Tungstens will produce HQ candle power, while the 25 lights In each string now in use' only produce 200. The reflectors almost double the intensity of the light The cost of installation la less than putting in the post ; and cluster., light iystem. Each will cost about $84. ' This is about the cost Of a post and cluster, but where six or olght p6stjs are needed for a block only four arches are needed. The cost per block of posts, would be $50, while the same distance of arches would bp only 1252. i The cost of main tenance of , the Tungstens is less than that of the present incandescent.
