EASTERN OREGON
RAIL PLAN MUST
WAfT, SAYS GRAY
Riteratina- feia declaration that the
I Natron cutoff is to be a reality reg-ard-
less of th outcome of the Southern
,; Pacific-Central Pacific unmercer de-
clsion, Carl B. Gray, Thursday niffht
issued n promised statement in wmca
he expressed little hope for immediate
railway extensions' in the vast Eastern
Oregon 'country.
The Union Pacific president and his
party departed on the next, stage in
their Journey ot-tnspecvion late Thurs-
' day. Gray had completed studies of
f traffic, actual and potential, in the
: undeveloped region east of the Cas-
cades and found small promise of suf-
Ifleient Immediate traffic to warrant
the huge investment necessary to con
nect it with the Willamette valley.
GRAY ISSUES STATEMENT
That this problem might eventually
r' work out to the advantage of Central
r and Eastern Oregon, however, he
mentioned as a matter for the future.
1 4 The statement follows:
I : "Naturally, I have been very much
interested, and while here have been
making- a careful inquiry into the situ
ation in Oregon.
I have appreciated fully the public
interest . in the ' matter, and particu
larly with reference to the develop
ments which are so much desired in
Central and Southeastern Oregon.
"One proposition in which there is
a great public interest, seems- to have,
been definitely disposed of, regardless
of the final disposition of the Central
Pacific, which is that the Natron cut
off will be completed.
"WANT COURT DECISION
The line across the state, however,
presents soma very perplexing prob
lems. Our study, up to this time, does
not ; develop traffic, sufficient alone to
justify this construction, but there are
possibilities in the Western Oregon
situation, as now presented, which
would give a very different aspect if
they can be developed.
I do not believe that any additional
assurance can, with good business
discretion, be given at this time, and
we will have to await the decision of
the supreme court and the ultimate
disposition of the Central Pacific lines.
"Tie Union Pacific, naturally, with
its heavy investment from Ontario to
Crane, would be very glad to see re
stored a condition in Western Oregon
similar to that which obtained in 1914,
when the construction of the line
across the state was in progress, and
before the dissolution of the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific lines, but
the jCjuture status and relationship of
the Western Oregon lines are too much
involved to Justify promises or as
surances that can at best be grounded
only upon speculation."
3EY MAKES COMME5TT
Ben C. Dey, attorney .for the South
ern Pacific, in commenting today on
Gray's statement, said :
"The statement seems to make it
clear that in the present controversy
the Union Pacific intends to remain
free from any promise or obligation
with respect to future development of
the state. The statement of Mr. Gray
clarifies the atmosphere and will un
doubtedly effectively remove confu
sion of the real issues in the minds of
the people.
"What the peojjle of Oregon really
want to know is what to expect in
the -way of railroad development, and
the clear cut and unequivocal pledge
that the Southern Pacific company has
made to the people of this state now
leaves no uncertainty as to what will
be accomplished.
?The public should not lose sight of
thj fact that nothing definite can be
expected from an independent Central
Pacific. A statement that the Central
Pacific operating separately would
build the Natron cutoff is a mere
guess. When would it build It and who
would there be to call to account for
not building it? The Southern Paci
fic has agreed to build it immediately
It Is determined that the ownership of
the Central Pacific shall remain where
It now is."

BRIEF MAKES PLEA
FOR OREGON TRUNK
, That the abandonment of the Oregon
Trunk railway line between South
Junction and MatoHus. Or., a distance
of 29 indies, as proposed by that line
Is not warranted by necessity or con
venience, present or future, and that
If either of the two 1 existing lines
between these two points Is to be
abandoned it should be the Deschutes
railway, is the contention set forth, in
a brief -filed with the PubMc Service'
Commission by John K Kollock, at
torney for the protectants.
The protestants in the case are the
city of Madras, the Jefferson Water
Conserve ng District, H. E. Massey,
merchant at Mecca, the Olean Land
company. Dant 4k Russell and the
Al worth-Wash burn company, the last
three being timber owners south of the
Metollus river.,
On behalf of the city of Madras it is
urged that abandonment of the Oregon
Trunk line would leave the town one
and one half miles removed from the
Deschutes railway and 200 feet bajow
it. H. E. Massey's mercantile property
at Mecca would be stranded ten miles
from a railroad, it is pointed out,
while the future prospects of the Jef
ferson Water Conservancy district
would be handicapped by abandon
ment of the Oregon Trunk line.
A plea is made also in the interest
of the Warm Spring Indians who
would be further removed from a
shipping- point for their products.
The three timber owning concerns
with others control two billion feet of
timber, the marketability of which
would be impaired by the abandon
ment of the Oregon Trunk line, it is
urged.
From the standpoint of economic
operation the brief cites that the fig
ures are In favor of the Oregon trunk,
because of the steeper grade of the
Deschutes railway. .
Timber owners affected by the pro
posed plan have appealed to Ralph
Budd, president of the Great Northern.
for careful, consideration of their in
terests before final action is taken.
These timber owners" appeared last
week before the public service com
mission to submit their views for a
recommendation to the Interstate
Commerce commission.

CIUIY VOTES
FUNDS TO BUILD
MT. HOOD LOOP
Work, may now proceed on jthe
Mount Hood loop highway. A resolution-
was passed Thursday by' the Mult
nomah county board of commissioners
by a vote of 2 to 1, setting forth In
in affirmative way that the budget of
19JJ will contain an appropriation of
$178,000 out of the motor vehicle li
cense fund to apply on the highway
In redemption of an agreement with
the state highway commission.
Commissioners Rudeen and Holnjan
voted for the resolution and Commis
sioner Hoyt against it. Hoyt'e oppo
sition was on the ground that it was
not a proper time to apply Multnomah"
coUnty money to other county roads
as the money was needed at home.
EESOLUTIOX ACCEPTABLE
As passed, Uae resolution is accept
able to District Attorney Myers and
Assistant Attorney General Devers,
representing the state highway com
mission. It was accepted by Highway
Commissioner Yeon subject to the ap
proval of his colleagues.
The state highway commission stands
ready to proceed with the work of
placing a rock surface on the new
grade and will advance the money,
having received reasonable assurance
that the state will be reimbursed by
the county next year.
CP TO TAX BODY
It is appreciated that the county
commisiomers have done all they could
to carry out the previous agreement
The last say is now with the tax
supervision and conservation commis
sion. In the event this commission strikes
the item out of the budget this winter,
as it did last, there is talk of securing
a special enactment of the legislature
which will make direct appropriation
out of the motor vehicle license
fund which will accrue to Multno
mah county.
