Monmouth, declaring that the jroad must

namely, from Monmouth i east toward
but not into Independence, the home of
the county judge, rather than! as estab

The paving between Salem and Dallas,
the Polk county seat, was a concession
on the part of . the highway commis

part of the- Pacific highway. There

" The fact that competing transconti
nental llnea are reaching a better basis
of agreement lends a new aspect to the
bitter rivalry that swayed between the
Hill - and Harriman railroad interests
during the latter part of the nineteenth
century and the first dozen years of
this century, U ; ,
Following the advent of the Union
Pacific system: into Oregon and Port
land under the guiding hand of Harri
man. James J. Hill organized the Great
Northern railroad system. The Great
Northern was extended through to
Puget Sound, t Then, in an effort to pre
vent the coming of.a competing line into
this territory, the Harrimans spent ap
proximately $2,500,000 In the purchase
of railroad terminal sites in the North
End, , . t - ' - -y' i , ' . , : .
But Hill managed" to obtain the site,
of the present North Bank station at
Tenth and Hoyt streets. Then came
the building of the S-, P. & & by the
Great " Northern and Northern Pacific
companies after Hill had obtained con
trol of the latter. i i
CESTBAL OBEGOW MAGNET
In 1913 came another mad scramble
between the Hill and Harriman fac
tions to enter ; Central Oregon. The S..
p, & S.. under the administration of
Trill v.,, lit & tin tin one .-side of the
Deschutes canyon toward Bend, while
the O-W. R, & N.. under tne. guiaance
of Harriman, pushed its line up the
other i side of the river. ' i
In the race toward Bend as a goal
the two factions made a profligate ex
penditure of money,, the S., P. & S.
placing about f $11,000,000 in the build
ing operation, and the O-W. about
$6,000,000. . t i 1
with Hunllfnta lines now ; extending
Into Central Oregon, and the taste of
government operation .; Still reminding
the i railroads that expenditures in op
eration can be cut enormously to Bend,
the railroads are attempting to reach
an agreement on this matter. 1
TO SEDUCE TBACKAGE
Demand for. a highway which could
make use of one of these roadbeds and
the call for extension of a line south to
Klamath Falls lends added strength to;
the necessity of forgetting old enmities.
It is proposed that 78 miles of the Q-W.
trackage from Sherman to North Junc
tion and 23 miles of S., P. & S., track
age from South Junction to Metoliusbe
removed. - t
This removal of trackage would mean
a 'detraction of $3,000,000 from the , orig
inal investment of the Sv, P. & S., and
about $4,5T0,000 from the Investment of
the O-W., unless the tracks were utilized
in further extension work. The matters
of investment and future business create
no end of problems according to some of
the railroad officials. ;
With Gray now the executive , head of
the Unon Pacific system it was thought
that an agreement could be more readily
reached. - Gray formerly served as pres
ident of the S., P. & S., and Great North
ern, recently switching to the opposing
faction. s - ;
FINANCIERS USED UP
Behind the Northern Pacific are the
Morgan financial interests and behind
the Union Pacific is said to be the Har
riman and Rockefeller money. The.
financial aspect .also exerts a large
power in swaying the railroads. . :
All but two of the executives present
at the meeting Thursday were former
railroad officials iri this territory and
have the added insight upon local con
ditions. The i exceptions are William
Sproule, ' president of the Southern Pa
cific, and George Reid o'f the Northern
Pacific ; :
The session Thursday was said to be"
one of the most Important meetings ; of
railroad ; executives which will be held
