Portland, Or., April I. lyoK. I
Mr. Charles I'isher
Publisher Guard. Kngene, Or. j
My Dear Sir: 1 am in receipt of ygur letter of March 31 si in
quiring as to our plans to build into tithe Upper Willamette valley j
and to Kngene. Our articles of incorporation cover the territory to.
Kngene and we are making plans to carry out the extension to your
city as rapidly as possible. We have all material on hand and are
now formulating our plans to commence at once our llillsboro ex
tension from Garden Home and will have the line in operation in the
fall. Our next work will commence at Salem south to Albany, and
later on to Kngene. At just what time we will get there I cannot say,
as it will be our policy to build link by link, and not undertake to try
to cover too much territory at once; in other words, as soon as the
line is ready for operation into Albany we will at once proceed with
the Kngene extension. However, if money matters comitate to im
prove we undoubtedly will push our line into l'.tigene as early as pos
sible. I can say this much that we are going to Kngene with our
rails and will prosecute the work as fast as possible. llis not our pol
icy to go into the field and cover a large amount of territory w ithout
being ready to back it up immediately with turning the drt. When
we are ready to build promptly our Kngene line we will then bring
the matter up before the Kngene people and then only ask for a fran
chises or terminals needed for the actual operation of the property.
and from all indications J am sure that the people of Kngene will give
us a pleasant reception. To sum the matter up, we do not want to
build paper railroads.
There have heen a great many articles published in the papers
throughout the valley that our company was connected with the so
called Welch enterprises. I wish to advise you that we are not in
any way connected with them and what action we take through this
territory will be entirely independent of theirs. P.efore the summer is
over we should know positively sit what time we should reach Kn
gene, and assure you that I will be very glad, when a definite time
is determined by our syndicate, to advise you, as we have nothing
to cover ii) in any of our enterprises.
I have planned a trip to Kngene for some time past, but have been
unable to get away, but hope to get to vour city some time the early
part of this month, as I desire to look over the situation in and aboy.t
the city.
Very truly yours,
