''My system of projecting railroads
is simple. I first spend tt consider
able time in Kludying the country to
be lapped, asccrtaininsr its resources
anil possible tonnage, satisfying my
self that a railroad would be profit -Iiblc.
Then I spend anotlivr year in
sbrveys, endeavoring; to secure the
best possible route. For instance, in
central Oregon I surveyed 2'iW) miles
of route to secure lot) miles of road.
When this is nceomplishcil, 1 ascer
tain what financial support, and as
sistance can be secured nloug the

personal expense. I am then ready
to submit my project lo investors."
