A. J. Gillette, local agent of the
Southern Pacific Company, today re
ceived notice that the company will
on next Monday, March 28, inaugu
rate a gasoline motor service on the
east side branch between Springfield
and Albany, thus giving the people
of-way for the Boise & Western.
These men are Colonel C. E. S. Wood
of Portland; Attorney J. W. McCul
loch of Ontario, and William Hanley
of Burns.
Condemnation proceedings have
been begun in the court at Vale, Ore
gon, on three or four stretches of
deeded land not yet secured for the
right-of-way. the owners of this land
holding out for much higher valua
tions than the buyers of the right-
of-way believe the land Is worth.
When these several stretches of
land are secured then the Boise &
Western, whose articles of incorpora
tion provide for a line from Boise to
; Marshfield. Oregon, on Coos Bay.
will have possession of the right-of-
way through the only narrow canyon
between its two terminals.
Wide Enough for Two Rood«.
There seems to be a misconception
as to the width of the Malheur can
yon, many believing it is only wide
enough for one railroad.
This Is
not the ease. There Is ample room
through this canyon for two roads.
It Is at present definitely known
that the Malheur canyon Is the only
feasible route, with an easy grade,
from the Snake river to the interior
of Oregon. Hence the great import
ance of securing a right-of-way
through this narrow canyon. That
Hill has secured thia right-of-way
seems to be accepted as one of the
certainties.
Easy Grade from Ontario to Coturt,
It is now definitely known, and it
is a very important fact, that a wa
ter grade for a railroad can be se
cured from the Snake river at On
tario, through Vale, and extending
into the interior of Oregon, a dl»-
tance of 300 miles. The verv Import
ant point lies tn the fact that when
these 300 miles are reached it lands
the grade at the summit of the di
vide. At no point between Ontario
and the summit is there more than
a 1H per cent grade, which is con
sidered an easy grade for railroad
construction and operation.
When the summit is reached, it is
said to be an easy grade to run a line
on to Portland, Coos Bay or San
Francisco.
Coos Bay has great natural ad-
vantages and is destined, in a few
years, to have a splendid harbor for
all seagoing crafts.
