S P. B R A N C H TO M A R S H F IE L D San Francisco, Jan. 13.— That the Oregon Western railway, the proposed branch of the Southern Pacific between Drain, Or., and Marshfield, Or., is to be completed wi'liin a very few months was made kL'.wn here today by William Hood, chief engineer of the Southern Pa cific company, who admitted that he had been ordered to prepare est mates on the cost of the com- ph tion of the road,and that as soon us his complications were finished he would submit them to the heads i f the Hariiman system in the east f r approval. “ I am compiling an estimate of the remaining cost of the construc tion, Drain to Marshfield, for pre- suntation east, upon which will de pend the probable decision to re- Bume work on this road,’ ’ was llo o d ’6 answer to the question ns to whether construction work on this important branch was about to begin. He said he had been working on his estimates for sever al months and that only an unusual amount of other important work had delayed the estimates to this date. Questioned about the report of the sale of the Bandon and Port Orford railroad, he said he was not familiar concerning the sale of that company or negotiations which might lead up to a sale of the road. He said he had heard o f the incor poration of such a road by Bandon capitalists for the purpose of tap ping rich timber lands, but had not heard of any construction work be ing done ou it. The probable completion of the Oregon Western will complete the formation of a network of railways in the most fertile parts of Oregon and California. Most of the coun try to be traversed by this road is timbered with white pine, vast for ests of great trees covering the land, which is reported by agents of the company to be extraordin arily rich. The region is all virgin soil, ex cepting parts near the old railroad lines, and little agriculture has been attempted there, on account of the difficulty of transporting the pro ducts to market. Another rich section that the new line will tap is that between Marshfield, O r, and Eureka, Oal. The section around Eureka is one of the most productive in the state of California. For years the steam ship lines have furnished the only transportation out of that port, and San Francisco has been the destina tion of most of the products from that portion of the state. With the completion of the Oregon West ern, and the probable extension down the coast so as to connect with the line running north out of Eureka, Oregon will probably take away considerable of the business that is now coining to this city by steamer,at least until the comple tion of the gap on the Northwi st ern Pacific, now being closed, but 12 Gauge* "RepeatingShotgun T he 12 gauge Pl.rr/?» repeater is a gun o f perfect proportions, and has one-third less parts than any other repeater.
