New Railroad. What is presumably Northern Pacific influence and capital has at last placed the railroad project north of the Colum bia beyond the "hot air" stage For the past year surveys haye been in progress along the north bank of the Columbia, between Pasco and Van couver, and numerous theories have been advanced as to the meaning of it all. Yesterdav the Wallula-Pacific railroad company were filed with the county clerk of Clark county, Whashington, the capital stock being placed at 1,000,000, the shares to be valued at $100 each. The incorporators are L. Gerlinger, ot Portland, and G. M. Lyons and James P. Stapleton, of Vancouver. For 20 miles on the north bank of the Columbia is the old grade ot the Paul Mohr railway, one of the mushroom schemes of the last decade, and on this grade and along the right of way ac quired by Mohr and associates a feasi ble railway route from Wallula to Van couver can be located. Surveyors have been encamped along the entire length of the river hntwnnn vnnn,.n. i Umatilla for the past five months, and it is now thought that something tang lDie will be done. The Portland Tele- gram of yesterday says of the projected road : Articles of incorporation of a railroad to be built from Wa-lula to the mouth of the Columbia river, opposite Astoria, working down the stream on .the north bank, have just been filed at Olympia, Wash., by the Wallula-Pacific Railroad company. The incorporators are L. Gerlinger, of Portland, and G. M. Lyons and James P. Stapleton, of Van couver. Wash. A capitalization of $1,000,000 is de clared in the papers, with stock at $100 per share. When seen this morning Mr. Ger linger said that he is rot yet in position to make public details of the proposed enterprise, other than those facts Con tained in the incorporation articles. The officers of the corporation will not be elected until tomorrow, when a riveting for this purpose will be held at Vancouver. As soon as organization has been ef fected, a crew of surveyors will be sent to the field, and the work will be dis patched with all possible celerity. j "In regard to the backing," explained Mr Ge linger, "there is ample capital behind the enterprise, and it comes from the east. Further than this I am not at liberty to state. I was notified by i man in New York to organise the company, and tie shares would be dis posed of The ii-ld of the road is fertile and is one in need rf transportation fa cilities." In answer to questions, Mr. Uerlineer declared that the Wallula-Pacific is not affiliated with any Harriman, Great Northern or Northern Pacific interests, nor has the question of operating with the Columbia River & Northern been considered. "This is strictly an independent en terprise," concluded Mr. Gerlinger, "and cannot be considered an agent of any railroad combination."
