STATE WINS
LONG FIGHT
FOR OUTLET
Union Pacific Must Con
struct 181 'Mile Line Be
tween Crane and Cres
cent Lake at Cost Nine
Million Will Traverse
Largest Area in V. S.
Without Railroad.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 P
The interstate commerce commis
sion today (or the first time as
serted its power to compel a rail
road to build, against its will, ex
tensive new lines, when it directed
the Union Pacific system to con
struct 181 miles of line between
Crane and Crescent Lake, Ore., at
an approximate cost -of 19.000,000.
Because of the principle involved
the proceedings drew in all the
railroads of the Pacific northwest
and in handing down the verdict
the commission also ruled that It
had tho power to compel the rail
road to undertake the work. The
Oregon-WaBhington Railroad and
Navigation company, a subsidiary
of the Union Pacific, was directed
to begin the actual construction.
Complaint Justified
The complaint, brought by the
Oregon public service commission,
si.lil the central portion of ;the
state had not been provided with
the proper rail facilities and that
the line from-Crane to Crescent
Lake was badly 'needed. - in the
opinion the commission said the
complaint was Justified.
Two commissioners, llrainerd and
Farrell, dissented, expressing the
opinion that the commission was
without authority to compel rail
roads to undertake extensive con
struction against their will.
. Commissioner Porter also dis
sented, but he held the commission
had the power to direct the con
struction but that the use of it In
the case under consideration was
not Justified. Commissioner Wood
lock dissented without comment.
It Is considered certain that the
commission's decision ordering the
Union Pacific to construct the new
route will be taken Into court, in
view of the opposition the Union
Pacific had evinced to undertaking
tho work. i ,-
Link East-West
The line would run from east to
west across the center of Oregon
and would link up transportation
lines which now operate chiefly on
the cast and' west borders of Ore
gon. The commission remarked
that a line "across central Ore
gon has long been a desire of the
people of that state," while the area
lo bo traversed was said "probably
to constitute the largest area
within the United States without
rail facilities.
Several' railroad arguments quas
tionlng the right or the commission
to order a common carrier to ex
tend its. line were reviewed, and
the majority decision, in spite of
statements of dissenting members,
specifically stated that under ex
isting law "we rind that authority
has been vested in us to authorize
or require the construction prayed
tor."
Development Hampered
"The view or the public service
commission of Oregon Is that the
development or central and western
Oregon Is being seriously hamper
ed due to the absence or an cast
and west line or railroad across
the state." the commission com
mented. "Traffic now originating
In western Oregon and destlnpd to
eastern points must move either
south or north before eastward
movement begins. It is urged that
Oregon's development has been
held hack and seriously hampered
by lark or direct routes."
As to the amount or trarric prob
ably available to the new line, the
commission Indicated there was
whio differenc, of opinion.
The majority declared, however.
H at "case after casa might be cited
where applications of carriers for
certificate covering construction
tinder less favorable circumstances
as related to probable trafric. reve
nues and public benefits than are
present in this case have been
granted.
Denial Unjustified
Since railroads undertaking to
build have been allowed to go for
ward where earnlags on contem
plated Investment were in doubt,
the commission said "There can be
no Justification ror denying appeals
or the people for relief and for
reasonable chance lo develop a
great state.' '

Councilman Kershaw and
Richardson of Humane
Society Delay Irksome
to Friends Dumb Brutes.
Mayor A. W .Pipes and Council
man P. M. Kershaw and Hid Rich
ardson spent this .afternoon In
searching the outskirts of the olty
for a silo for the Humane society's
dog pound and animal shelter, fol
lowing the decision of members of
tho Jackson County Fair associa
tion boai' and the members of the
city council's committees on ap
praisal and parks and playgrounds,
at Informal meeting last night, to
bar auch animal plant from any
location In the fair grounds.
Thla action was taken when tho
members of the fair board present
inado objections to the proposed
location of the Humane Society
plant north of the livestock build
ing, holding that there waa danger
of the county fair stock on exhibi
tion catching possible disease from
a atray Impounded cow, horse, dog
or cat. Then when they got to
thinking further over the matter
they decided that' such danger
might cumo from an other location
on the grounds. Hentlments of ob
jection were made by Ray Ward of
Kagle Point, Henry Congor of tho
West Hide district, and Verne Pen
dleton and &. K, Ncalon of . the
Table Rock district, v-- , ,
Council inch AJso "Oppoacd
The council men of the two com
mittees present were also opposed
to granting the Humane society
two aoroH on tho West fringe of tho
fair grounds where tho old nlrport
buildings wore located, as this
ground may be needed by the city
If Bear creek Is ever Improved into
a park. Thon, too, some of tho
properly owners In tho neighbor
hood of the fairgrounds ohjectcd
to tho Humane society plant being
located on the grounds.
Also Just -before tho meeting a
telegram waa received from tho
county court at Portland asking
that no action he taken on leasing
any slto on the fairgrounds before
tho court had been consulted.
Therefore after the informal
gathering last night, at which Hid
Richardson represented tho Hu
mane Society, the council commit
tees decided to oppose any further
effort to locate the plant Inside
the fairgrounds, and while thoroly
in sympathy with the Humane Ho-
clety work and recognizing Its ab
solute need for a dog pound and
shelter for other Impounded ani
mals, drew up a letter of explana
tion of tho fair grounds slto re
fusal, and pledged cooperation
otherwise. . .
Workers Irked
The Humane Society's officers
and leading workers are becoming
disgusted at the opposition they
have been encountering in acquir
ing a plant for their work, which
Is universally commended by the
public. They desire to build the
plant at once, and are gaining
much sympathy because oC the
barriers they have encountered so
far. The society cannot get to
functioning until the city' grants
them a suitable site.
It was the plan last night for
Mayor Pipes to appoint a special
committee to at once look up a
site, but the informal gathering
broke up so quick that he was un
able to do so. Inasmuch as the
council will not meet until next
Tuesday night tho mayor took It
upen himself with P. M. Kershaw,
chairman of the parks and play
grounds committee, to look up a
site. If possible, this afternoon.
Mayor Pipes and .Messrs. Richard
son and Kershaw In this seiych
this afternoon, are looking for an
available slto on the northern nut
sktrta of the city along the new
airport water line.
Tho public explanation of the
council committee's attitude, Is as
follows; '
