MORE RAILROADS
HEADED TOWARD
CITY OF EUGENE
El
The Guard has always stayed by
Colonel Will J. Wilsey and his Oregon
Coast A Lantern railway project.
When the enterprise was launched it
was announced that Eugene would be
a ceutre at which two lines of the
company would converge and that
shops and general offices would be
located iiere. Tile Guard was the first
paper to announce that the company
bad recently started several survey
ing crews on the proposed coast line
and it was followed by tha Portland
papers, two of which have always
looked upon the project as a but air
scheme. The Portland Journal, which
has always expressed faith in the en
terprise, yesterday told of tiie plaint
to build a valley line from Portland
to Eugene to connect with an east
and west line from tlie coast to an
Eastern connection. The story is as
' follows:
The Oregon Coast A Eastern Rail
way company will build a valley line
from Portland to Eugene, to give a
direct route to the East. Preliminary
work of tiie company has reached a
stage here its plans are becoming ap
parent, and W. J. Wilsey, executive
bead of the company in Oregon, to
day officially admitted that plans are
being perfected for a valley route, via
McMinnville or some nearby point.
A large meeting of citizens Ht Mc
Minnville last evening was attended
by Mr. Wilsey, who made a statement
of what the company is ready to do
in exchange for a right of way. Mir
or Mason presided, and leading citi-
zens manifested a lively iutere-t in
the project. A delegation from Sher
idan was in attend«! . and was en
thusiast ih Gc fi i the iv ’I d al pr< r
sitlon. Committees were app dnted
to take up light of way matters with
the Oregon Coast A Eu.-tun com
pany.
PROTECTS THE PEOPLE.
It was brought out that Mr Wilsey
has not traded on any of the fran
chises tha have been secured by him
in the two years he hus liven worknig
on the Oregon Coast A Eastern pro
ject, and that every right of way .on-
tract is placed in escrow in the Se
curity Savings and Trust bank of
Portland, to be cancelled and return
ed to the people in event that the
railread is uot built according to con
tract.
The company lias placed three sur
veying parties in the Held, under
well known engineers, to locate the
routes of the road in the valley and
along the const.
From the move
uients of these parties it appears
Hint tlie road will be built from Port
land to Tillamook, via the Wiisou
river, and south via Toledo to Coos
bay ami Eureka. The line will run
east through Eugene and over the
Ca cade mountains to a connection
with some transcontiuviitid line, ¿the
name of which is not yet divulged.
The valley line will diverge from
the Tillamook line to some pioiit west
of Portland, and extend south through
or near McMinnville, and on to £u-
gene, probably via Corvallis.

ROBBERY OF
Several months ago, when F. L.
Chambers, G. B. Hengen, A. B. Wood
and O. B. Paxton applied for a fran
chise for the construction of an elec
tric railway in Eugene it was an
nounced that a steam line would be
built from here to the Blue Kiver
mines. The Guard was in possession
of information that the promoters of
the proposed line intended to also
build a steam road from Eugene to
Cottage Grove, connecting at that
place with the Oregon Jt Southeast
ern railway, the line extending from
Cottage Grove to the Bohemia mires
ami owned by Mr. Hengen, Mr. Wood
mid several Eastern capitalists, but
was not at liberty to use it. A public
announcement of this enterprise has
now been made in Portland railroad
circles. A conference of »he men con
nected with tlie project was held iu
tha* city Monday and file plan dis
cussed. it is said that a franchise to
enter Eugene will soon tie asked fur
by Hie company and that construction
woik on the Cottage Grove Eu.etie
and Eugene-Blue River lines will be
gin in the not far future.
\mong those who were in confer
ence in Portland were the folio Hing.

This company of men own large in
terests in the Bohemia mines and it
is said that big improvements and the
investment of large sums of money
in the district are contemplated. By
the intended building of a line to
Blue River it is also reasonable to as
"lime that much money will be spent I
in the mines in that district.
