POPvTLAIID, SUNDAY HORNING, DEC! 13, 1C10. iiIOLIOE "",nc nniQ n UL UIVIOIUII I'll IS BELIEF C .Trials Hold Conference and I.Tany Indications Point to Abandonment of Huntington by 0. R. & N.' .. ' . . . ; (Sptrial DUratrli Tb Journal.! Ontario, Or, Dec 17. iAa Important conference on railroad , matters ,ws hold horo Tut-sday of this week between X Kruttscbtiitt, dlreeW , of mahita artee and operation of the XT. P., S. P., O. S. L. and O. It. & N., and W.H. EancroJt, vice - president and goneraj managrer of the O. S. I The two rail road officials met h lit special, cam and held a conferenfe which is be lieved to relate to the locating of ma chine shops and round houses at this point. v-;-' A railroad man, in close touch with the high officials of the Jlarrlman sys tem, has stated positively that the machine shops and round houses will be mo vd to Ontario from Hunting ton early in the spring of 1911. The fact that the merging of tne northwest em lines of the Harrlman system in Orpfron and Washington included the Malheur -Valley railroad, the line from Ontario to Vale and did not Include the Oregon Short Line and that , the 40 rotles of 0. 8. I track from Ontario to Huntington has been taken over y the a R. & X. bears out this state ment, . u Another significant fact U the O. R. & N. Co. has Tefused to release tlie railroad hotel at Huntington. The leease expires the first - of the year and the company refuses to renew it It Is stated that this hotel will be torn down and removed tn the spring. It is also a fact that the railroad company Is not improving its property in any way at Httntlngton while exten sive preparations are betng.made for improvements here. It is also a well known fact' that the Harrimaa system owns 80 acres of ground just south of town for which blue prints have been made for extensive railroad yards, ma chine shops, round houses, etc. Chief Engineer Harer of the O. S. I. who will soon move to Ontario to make his j headquarters here, has openly stated that Ontario will be the rail road center for various lines going north and south and east and west of the Harrimaa system. , , Una Hold Sight of Way. " That the above important announce ment means that there will be much railroad actlrlO here next spring is also evidenced by the fact that filings of the Harrlman people on their right of way through the , Malheur canyon win expire in April and the statement by the interior department at Washing ton that, the right of way would be canceled unless actual railroad con struction was commenced in the can yon before the time the filings expire. The Harrlman people have held this right of way through, this canyon for the past, 20 years and have held it by renewing filings and occasional sur veys, i The activity of the Hill people and the ruling of the government has caused the Harrlman people to get busy -and the- east and west Harrlman Bne will be rushed across ; the . stated The ' Malheur Valley railroad will be built on fromVale through the Mal heur canyon as far west a Burns as soon as men and teams can be secured for the construction work. ; Bin Bo4 Blocked. Information also from an authori tative scraree is to the effect that Hill has secured a Joint rlsrht of way with Harrlman interests through the Mal heur canyon. ' Hill had .been effective ly blocked from going through the Mal heur canyon by a ruling of the inter ior department imder Garfield during the Roosevelt administration, to. the effect that no right of way throuph a canyon where, there is any possibility of developing elwtrical power from the water running through the canyon shall be granted. The government was willing to grant Hill a , risht of way through the canyon on one condition, that on demand of the government he most raise his track through the can yon to comply with all retirements. This ruling practically blocked the canyon to Hill, because bonds could not (be floated for a road with such un certain right of way. But the Harrl mans still held their right of way through the Malheur canyon by reason of having secured the same 20 years before this ruling was made. The Mal heur canyon Is 14 miles long and very narrow in places. . BUl'c Generalship. ' Hill has showed great generalship as a railroad builder by his' fight with the Harrlman system in Oregon and forcing his way into .the state which Harrlman has so long kept completely bottled up. ; The first victory was gained when he forced a right, of way, after a hard fought battle, through the Deschutes ' canyon. ' This victory was quickly followed' up by his' purchase through a ft Paul syndicate of the Willamette Valley & Cascade Mountain Wagon Road, land . grant,' comprising 100,000 acres in a narrow strip- reaching across the state from Ontario on the east to Albany on the west, By secur ing this 800,000 acre strip he opened an entrance for his own road through central Oregon and at the same time effectively shut the Harrlman system out of the great inland empire and was thereby able to bring them to terms for a Joint right of way through th. Mal heur canyon.; ......... And now central Oregon,, which ha so long been bottled up, Is to be trav ersed by two transcontinental lines, both of which will ' pass through the famous Malhemv canyon. : T.he ' survey of the main line of the Hill road pass es under the track of the Oregon Short Line about two miles south of the cenr tral business section of Ontario. This new road which will now be - built as soon as the bondsf are floated wilt have nearly 60 miles of straight track from the mouth of the Malheur river can yon east to he mouth of the Payette river canyon above Emmet, Idaho, and will.be connected at Ontario with two branch line feeders, one an eloctric and the other a steam., road, one of which will tap a very rich mining and tim ber belt in 'northern Idaho. PRAISE FOR FORMER PACIFIC U. TEACHER (Special Ptepttrti to The JonnmLl Pacific University, Forest Grove, Or., Dec. 17. A very flattering notice has been received this week from Applet cm. Wis., la appreciation of Professor Fred Wesley Orrs dramatic recitals given In that place recently. Professor Orr was formerly at the head of the public' speaking department at Pacific Univer sity, and he now holds the chair of for ensic and dramatic art at the Lawrence School of Expression. While at Pacific he built up a wonderful department dur ing the three years that he was there, and is best known to outsiders by his dramatization and production of the In dian tragedy, "The Bridge of the Gods," which was played for three weeks In the open air theatre at the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, besides being given in Port land twice and many other towns of Oregon and Washington; Professor Orr is also known widely in the northwest because of the four crack debating teams which he has turned out In . the last two years, ; which defeated O. A. C. Willamette, Whitworth and Whitman. - During his stay in For est Grove he gave; recitals at all the larger cities of the northwest and many of the smaller places, at which he was accorded enthusiastic receptions. ; His character work was subtle yet convinc ing; never In caricature, and always showing a vivid and distinct touch to all his selections, a thing which held an audience to the last Professor Orr is a graduate of the Curry School of Expression of Boston. , v Hood Team Defeats White Salmon. fSpeelnNDtepttih to' T JonrnaLl Hood River, Or., Dec 17.
