Clyde B. Aitchison, of the Rail
road Commission of Oregon, wes
in the city yesterday.
While Mr. Aitchison is making
a general tour of inspection, the
main object of his visit was to in
vestigate tbe real conditions of a
failure to agree between the people
of Lexington and the O. R. & N.
company over the right of way re
quired in connection with the buil
ding of a new warehouse.
Last fall it was necessary to pile
a large amount of wheat out on
the ground at Lexington owing to
inadequate warehouse fcilities.
Owing to the fact thai the wheat
acreage is being increased yearly,
the people of Lexington have de
cided to build a new warehouse to
take care of the large amount of
wheat, but it seems that the people
there and the railroad company are
unable to agree on the right of way
for building grounds.
Mr. Aijchison came to personally
investigate the warehouse proposi
tion in order to give both sides a
fair hearing.
The people of Lexington, also
want an agent at their depot and
are endeavoring to induce the rail
road people to put ou a man at
that place. If an agent is not fur
nished this matter will also be
taken before the railroad commission.
Andrew Neil is in the city frora
