Whether the route through Cornelius Tass and the northern part of this coun ty, or that from HilNlmro over the roote in part graded and formerly known as the Astoria and South Coast Railroad, is not known most prolwbly the latter route will be chosen, as right-of-way over that route in Washington county to the Tillamook county line has already len secured. The company having the undertaking in hand, it is understood, favors this latter route running northwest from Hillsboro and crossing the divide In the Coast Range near the head of Wilson river, thence down that stream to some point in Tillamook county not yet sur veyed, most probably Tillamook City. That this would le oue of the lst paying lines in the northwest goes with out saying, for it would oien up a region of country unsurpassed iu Its possibil ities of development for agriculture, dairying, tiinlcr and other purposes.
