R. & N. company. 1 Local officials of the company thus far have been tfsable to confirm the report, but persons not directly connected with either railroad company In Vale say the big deal be came effective with the coming of the new year. The Oregon Eastern began construc tion operations at Vale in, May, 1912, when the local construction and mater ial yards were laid, and which are now stocked with thousands of tons of steel rails, fir ties, bridge timbers, Structural steel, and other construction materials. The four sidings, each 3,300 feet long, were put In in June, and tracklaying from Vale westward" started July 6, 1912. At this time, rails are laid and ballasted, with the beat fir ties and 75-lb. steel, a distance of 87 miles westward far Into the Malheur canyon, two great, concrete and steel bridges are finished across the Malheur river In the canyon, and two others nearly, finished; more than two-thirds of the 2,000-foot tunnel at Mile 38.2 is excavated, and the Utah Construction company of Salt Lake City has most of the gradlng done on the right of way a distance of 80 miles to the westward. It will require three more years to put the line through to Its coast connec tions, wherever they are destined to be, O.-W. Owns To Ontario Vow. It is a matter of record, and common knowledge, that something mora than one year ago the O.-W. R. & N. com pany acquired all right and title to the stretch of railroad property between Huntington, Ore., and Ontario, Ore., comprising the stations or weiser, iaa ho, and Payette, Idaho, between Hunt ington and Ontario; but this trackage has continued under the operation of the Oregen Short Line until this time, and will probably so continue until the new railroad building westward from Vale Is ready for passenger and freight traffic. At the time the former Hani o mnrtn with the Orecron Short fLine, the O.-W. R. & N. purchased 80 acres of land near the Junction of the O. S. L. and the branch of that system running 14 miles west of Vale, which city is the Initial terminus of the Ore gon Eastern. Is A Oreat Loop Proposed? Speculation Is rife here as to just What the O.-W. R. & N. intends to do, the most generally accepted theory be ing that the road intends to start its trains in Portland, and end them In Portland; In other words, trains leaving the Union depot at Portland will ulti mately proceed to Vale, Ore., by either route, and then return to Portland by the other route, merely changing en gines and crews at the division points en route. Whether a new yards will be created at the Ontario junction, which is two miles south from the town of Ontario, or whether the existing yards at Vale will be used and amplified, is an open question, but one or the other will be used. In local opinion. All the long sid ings at Vale are aa heavily ballasted as tha main line, which appears to favor Vale as the grand division point. OREGON CAN BRING $6,000,000 IN CASH BY COMPLETING HIGHWAY (Continued" on Page Four.) is, there are approximately 87.600 pleas, uro automobiles in California. Great Chane for State. "New machines liave been registering at an average rate of 200r a month. New York state only has more mschlnes, viz., 113,000. New York: has 13,500,000 population, California has 2,500.000. By 1915 California will have 135,000 to 130,000 pleasure automobiles. During that year approximately 30,000 ma chines will go to California to enjoy her roads and visit the great Panama Pacific . exposition. Conservatively there will be 150,000 automobiles In California in 1915. "The question is, How many of those 150,000 automobiles will come north into Oregon and Washington? "As the roads are now, practically none of them. For the benefit of those without, a personal knowledge of the road, it is sufficient to state that there Is no possible means today of getting an automobile overland from Portland to the California line. For a few months in the year it is possible to get over, what is worse than a' trail by undergoing torture to both the machine and its occupants, "Letfus suppose that there la a mod ern highway from the California line to Portland, that Is, a road similar to the roads that California is now building a road, with a hard surface all of the way, and no grades over 5 per cent. ; "At least one out of five of the aiito moblfes In ' California in 1915' would come into Oregon.

He had only a meager education at a district school. HO earned his way through business college and the Universities of Minnesota nnd Mnrth Dakota bv news paper and farm work. He studied law at the North Dakota law school, was admitted to the bar of that state and engaged in practice there. He came to Oregon In 1907, locating at Medford. He is a Shrlner and an Elk. California in 1915 made the trip to Portland over this hard surface road way, they would leave In Oregon 80,000 times $200, or 86,000,000. "This Is money that otherwise wouia not reach the state at all. "But the amount spent In actual touring is the small part of the gain to Oregon. People who tour in automo biles have money to Invest They do not make investments in land they see looking out of Pullman car windows. They must visit a community before they buy. The best example, probably, is southern California. "If you would take away from Los Angeles the people who write checks on eastern banks, and clip coupons, how much would their absence be felt by the community? Bring 80,000 automobile tourlsU Into Oregon and Washington over a hard surfaced Paciflo Highway. Would they make investments? It all depends on whether Oregon and Wash ington have anything to offer the In vestor. In scenery, climate and quality of the soil there is no comparison be tween California and the northwest." Recommending a two mill state tax to raise the 12,000,000, Major Bowlby con tinues: "How can these S0.OOJJ automobiles be brought north of the California line? "By building the Pacific Highway, apd by that method only. "If the present sessions of the legis latures fall to make adequate provi sion for this north and south trunk road, the last chance is gone. "The task Is too great for the indi vidual counties, if the counties desired to build this highway. "Would not $6,000,000 spent in one season by eastern and California auto mobile tourists be worth while for Ore gon? The amount that will be spent depends dlreotly on the amount of money spent on the Pacific Highway during the next two years. "Oregon could afford to spend 820, 000,000 on this road. She can at least afford to create a state highway de partment and levy' a two mill state tax, all to be expended during 1913 and 1914 on north and south trunk roads. Up to Taxpayers. "This will not build a hard surfaced road all of the way. It will make the road passable, however, and Is probably as much as the state can get ready to spend in the short time that is left" While highway, commissioner of Washington, Major Bowlby, who was be fore that on the faculty of the Uni versity of Washington, had a complete survey, plans and estimates made of the cost of a hard surfaced 'highway from Blaine, Wash., at the Canadian boundary, to Vancouver, Wash., approx imately 300 miles. The total for grad ing and surfacing was $V,668,B45. For hard surfacing, 33,468,000 Was esti mated, a total of 36,036,545, which Ma jor Bowlby says can be raised by a 2V4 mill state tax Imposea by the coming Washington legislature. allcd figures on this 300 miles of road are contained in the report. "The estimate for had surfacing is at the rate of 815,000 per mile for a pavement 16 feet wide, he says. "This will permit competition between all of the standard hard surfaces. The ques tlon here is: Can the state of WaHh ington afford to spend 85.000,000 on this road before 1915?

During the afternoon the Rosarlans were taken to the old Spanish mission of San Gabriel to witness the mission play. It was written by John H. Mc Groarty, one of the members of the re ception committee. So appreciative of the play, which bears the same relation to Los Angeles history that "The Bridge of tha Gods" does to Oregon's, were the Oregonlans tnat the author was compelled to respond to a curtain call. Entertain Tonner Oregonlans. "Portland is the best city in the world next to Los Angeles," he said, "and next summer, when Portland and the Willamette valley are knee deep In roses and are the most beautiful spots In the world, we will send fifty thou sand of Los Angeles boosters to attend your rose festival." Last night the Oregonlans kept open house for all the people who once lived In Oregon and are now In Los Angeles. About four hundred ex-Oregonlans came in response to the call. The reception was held in the hotel Alexandria and was In charge of the privy council of the Rosarlans, directed by Hy Ellers.

(Silcm Burun of The Journal.) Salem. Or.. Jan. 4. The American Life ft Accident Insurance company Is now without a license to transact busi ness in Oregon. Immediately after the first of the year the company made ap plication to State Insurance Commis sioner "j. W. Ferguson for a license and the commissioner refused to grant it It Is thought that the next move of the company will be to bring mandamus proceedings to compel the Insurance commissioner to issue a license. Several months ago Commissioner Ferguson revoked this company's 11 cense, and the company secured an order from Judge Galloway of the clr cult court rescinding the action of the commissioner and enjoining him from suspending the company s license. From this decision the Commissioner appealed to the supreme court. The company now has filed a motion to have this ap peal dismissed. The commissioner refuses to grant the company a license on the ground that it does not have 8100,000 paid up capital and that its capital Is not invested as required by law.
