Extension of the Oregon Electrto
tram Albany up tho Santhiu Is ru
mored ns a result of n visit to Kit
gene and a trip Into tho timber made
by Louts W. Hill nnd n party ot rail
road olllclals on Snturday and Sun
day. In tho party with Mr. Hill
were L. W. Oilman, president of tltu
Oregon Trunk, .1. L. llnnnnford,
president of tho Northern Pacific and
a number of others.
According to tho Oregon Journal:
"Tho Hill party spent Sundny at
Cascadln, lu tho woods east of Al
bany. In tho mountains thoro nro
billions of foot of llmbor. usually
whon Mr. Hill goes Into Contrnl Or
egon he takes a trip to Sisters, which
la approximately opposite Cascadla
on tho other sldo of tho Cascades.
How this vast body of timber la to ,
bo mndo useful Is n proposition thnt
has long been urgod upon tho rail
roads to solve.
"Whether a lino Into this tim
ber to connoct with tho Oregon Elec
tric Is to bo built or whothor a line
from Rond )h to reach It from the
othor sldo were subjoins Mr. Hill to
day did not discuss. Ho admitted
that the timber should he gotten out
but whothor now Is tho time or some
othor tlmo remains to bo seen.
Humors concerning tho trip ns col
lected In tho Snlom Statesman wore
na follows:
"Inasmuch ns dovolopmont of tho
timber would necessitate tho build
ing ot a rail lino at toast part way
up tho rlvor toward tho summit, thU
Is takon ns Indication that tho route
Is at least being considered for
trans-Cascade lino wrwcllnVllllrl
tho HIM linos In Central Oregon. ., n
"Another Portland rumor la thnt
tho Hill Inturosta will doal with Stra

Hlraboni Kprwe Doubt,
Whon Mr. Strahorn was r.ukod
i.bout tho various observation!) on
rr.tlwr.y construction from tho Wll
Inmotto valley Into Centrnl Orogon
Incidental to Mr. Hill's vIsP ho cnld:
"Most of those published report" nro
the wildest speculations Even If
tho Orogon Electric Is extended from
Albany up the Santlnm, which 1 un
derstand Mr. Hill Hnyit will tint bo
done u n do.1 existing condition:), It
would only , bo n local project. 'to
reach the big timber holdings of the
gmitloinoii iihiihmI. The natural wur
to rench Central Oregon from the
wont Is either by the Corvnllls & Eas
tern ovor Mlnto Pun or by the
S ii'hoiu Pacific's N'fttnii Una from
Eugene. No o'her routac compare
with those. Thuy are both controlled
by tho .Southern Pacific, which com.
p.my, I understand, will not imiUir
present conditions complete thgni,
nlthoiiKh It is arranging to mnko
r. short extension to reach some tlm
bo.' which Is to be out soon. Centrnl
Oregon must, In my opinion, for nov
oral yoars lit hast, be content vlth
ItH presoiit railway facilities with
such othera rs mr.y be supplied by
local or entirely Independent Initiat

"No, I o.i n't see anything In the
