PRES. LYTLE
IN TILLAMOOK
ASKS RIGHT-OF-WAY
From Tillamook to Buaton.-Peeple
There Enthuslstlo--Commit-too
Pwt to Work at Oneo.
The Tillamook Headlight says
of the meeting held at Tillamook
City last week Wednesday evening
to consider the matter of extending
the Pacific Railway & Navigation
Co.' line, which is now completed
from Ihllsboro to Buxton. Ac
companying resident t,yue were
C. E. Lytic and Dr,
J. P. Tamiesie
of this city and Mr.
Moore, of the
Oreson Savines and Trust Co.. of
Portland Th cri-ntlemen return-
d last Saturday and report that the
citizens of Tillamook are thoroueh-
ly in earnest and decided at a pub-
ic meeting held Thursday night to
secure the right-of-way asked for.
They are tired of being "bottled
up." and believe the proposition
made bv President Lvtle to be the
best offered. The sense of the
' .
rrrl Mr TiiWi marine mnr
direct to Portland and a shorter
route than bv Astoria. The Head-
igbt says:
Mr. E. E. Lytle, president of the
Pacific Railway & Navigation Co.,
who is building the railroad from
Iillsboro, came in on Wednesday to
see how the surveying parties were
getting along and to go over a part
ot the route, and also to make a pro
position to the people of Tillamook
county. A meeting for that purpose
was held at the rooms of the Tilla
mook Development League, a good
umber of business men being pre
sent. Mr. Lytle stated his proposi
tion, which was to the effect that it
the nnnl wntihl truarantre him free
, a I
TillamooV Citv. iroinir north, to
Buxton . in Washington county,
with free terminal erounds at Tilla-
mook City and Bay City, he would
commence the construction of the
road at Tillamook City next year
and would build 15 miles in 1907
and by December 31, 1908, he would
have the entire road constructed and
in operation. ,
The sense of the meeting was de-
cidedly in favor of Mr. Ly tie's road
on account of the shorter distance to
I'ortland, and although those pres-
ent promised to do everything po-
sible to procure the rights ot way,
it was not thought advisable tor a
limited number to guarantee the
rights of way that evening, so it
was decided to send out numerous
committees on Friday tor the pur-
pose of getting everybody interested
with a promise that they would do
their part, for if Mr. Lytle does not
get a tree right of way he may not
build into this county for some time.
Another meeting is called for Fri
day evening and it depends upon
what amount of success the commit
tees meet with whether Mr. Lytle
will be guaranteed a free right of
way, tor that is something which
everybody ought to help in some
way or other to secure. It was
stated at the meeting that Mr. W.
S. Cone had promised terminal

THE LOSS ROAD
BOBS UP AGAIN
SURVIVOR IN the FIELD.
WeWillShow.Yoy in About Three
or Fsuf Months," S,a M r. Loss,
Hi w Hope He Will.
From the reports received from
the three parties of surveyors and
engineers fa the field for the United
Railways company the officials of
that comply expect to reduce the
trackage ot the suburban routes
from HilUboro and Forest Grove to
Portland by five miles. This reduc
tion is exj--u to be obtained by
the lowering of grades, straightening
of curvatures and cutting superflu
ous track projected by the surveys
made before the purchase by the
Loss interests.
C. E. Loss arrived in Portland
last week and stated that the work
ot financing the road was meeting
with great success and that the engi
neer's reports would be complete to
be shown to the investors in about
three or tonr months.
"We have three surveying parties
out," he said, "and lrotn each one
we have received reports stating
that a great saving in trackage can
be secured by the changes. These
men are miking exact profiles and
when they have finished we will
have a detailed report ot the condi
tions existing along the lines. One
of the parties is working along the
Tillamook extension. The others
are out Forest Grove and Ilillsboro
way.
"There will be no shortening of
tracks in Portland, but the cutting
down of tie distance between Port
land and Forest Grove and Ilills
boro will prove a great benefit to
residents oat there.

the front one question of vital im
portance What will the timler
men do toward granting rights-of-
way for the railroad? There is this
much attached to the question: Mr.
Wheeler, who was present stated
that he thought the holders of large
timber interests on the line of the
road would do the square thing and
that as far as he was concerned he
wanted to see the railroad construct
ed as did several others who have
timber along the line. Anyhow,
we think it will reflect to the timber
owners credit to do everything they
can to encourage the railroads build
ing into Tillamok. We will wait
and see. Tillamook Herald.

RAILROAD WRECKI
IN OKLAHOMA
TRAIN RUNS OFF A BRIDGE
Into Swollen RIvsr-.Enalno and
Car Sinks Out of Slght-.Many
Llvoa Reported Lost.
Guthrie, Okla., Sept. t8. Eight
people are dead, twenty more or
less injured, and as many more are
missing in the most disastrous wreck
in the recent history of the Rock Is
land, which occurred three miles
trout Dover, Okla.. at 8:30 this
morning.
The engine, tender, baggage aud
mail cars, smoker aud day coach of
passenger train No. is, northbound,
lett the high bridge that spans the
Cimarron river, and plunged into
the current flanked by treacherous
quicksands. The locomotive dis
appeared flora sight almost immed
iately. The mail and baggage
clerks escaped from their coaches
and swam to the shore.
The accident was due to the de
fective condition of the bridge,
which was swerved out of line by
the pressure of driftwood carried
down by the swoolen stream. The
train was an hour late and was run
ning at high speed to make up
time. The engineer did not see the
condition of the bridge until he was
within a few yards, when it was too
late to stop. He shouted to his
fireman, threw on the brakes and
jumped. He landed on the very
verge of the riverbank and escaped
unhurt. The fireman was less for
tunate, sustaining severe injuries.
When the engine struck the
bridge the whole structure sudden
ly collapsed, precipitating the engine
and coaches into the water. The
chair-car and two heavy Pullmans
were not pulled in, but remained on
the Irack.
A later dispatch says: While it
is believed that several lives were
lost today when two cars of Rock
Island train No. 12, northbound,
went into the Cimarron river at
Dover, Okla., because of the collapse
of a bridge, no body has been recov
ered aud the only person on the
train positively known to have per
ished is Hank Littlefield, an em
ploye of the Forepaugh Sells circus,
who was drowned.

The old Reliable Comer
The Fortland Telegram says that
Attorney W. D. Fenton, of the
Southern Pacific, has confirmed the
news that the Harrimaa interests
are busily engaged in selecting a
route from Beaverton or vicinity, to
Oswego, or nearby, to bridge the
Willamette and afford the West Side
and Yamhill divisions entrance to
the terminals. His statement was
made before the council committee
on judiciary.
As previously outlined, the South
ern Pacific expects to route all freight
over the bridge, but will retain the
Fourth-street line and operate it
with electricity. The new line will
leave the West Side division at a
point between Beaverton and New
ton, and will follow the Tualatin
for some distance. It is hoped to
get a better grade on the new route.
This will remove the objectionable
heavy trains from F'ourth street,
and the railroad company will es
cape the necessity of cutting its
trains into one, two or three cars
each and climbine a d-per-cent
grade. Trains may be run to For
est Grove by way of Fourth street
every half hour, and they will car
ry local frieght. The changes will
probably cost $3,000,000.

After withstanding for an entire
night the rack and thumb screws ot
the "sweat box," resorted to iu a
vain endeavor to extort from him a
confession ot his own guilt, C. S.
Van Auker. cashier of the State
Bank of Rainier, yesterday after
noon circumvented his own arrest
on a charge of embezzlement by
agreeing to make good the amount
lost by that institution in an alleged
hold-up 17 days ago.
He was given 24 hours to raise
the money and was released lor that
purpose, though remaining in cus
tody of Sherriff Martin White, of
Columbia county, and virtually the
latter' s prisoner. The sweat-box
eplaode occured in this city aud Van
Auker is still in Portland.
The steps which resulted, in all
but one name, in the atrest of Van
Auker for robbing the bank in which
he claims two bandits overpowered
and robbed him last Labor day,
September 3. were taken by the
National Surety Company, of New
York, which furnished the $10,000
turety bond under which Van Auk
er began work in the Rainier Bank
when it opened for business nine
months ago. Persistent rumors
that Van Auker had lost large sums
at the gambling table since taking
charge of the bank were primarily
responsible for the surety company's
move. i'ortland Oregoniau.
