N -C.-O. to Amend Charter for Ex ension of Road to Columbia RAILROAD SITUATION IS PECULIAR Indications Point Toward Hill as Being The Man Behind The dun When It Comes to Build ing a Road From California to The Columbia River During the past ten days the railroad situation in Oregon has become more eomplexed than ever, owing to tljf consolidation of the various S.I holdings in theNorth- vvest under one head, with aising funds to build new lines. Inasmuch as the latest map of the State shows a Hill line running from Bend to Lakcview and another running on South.it would seem not at all improbable that Hill is the man that is backing the proposed N.-C.-O. extension to the Columbia, as an nounced in the Reno Journal last Sunday. The article re ferred to follows. One of tba moat aigoldnant mo vat ahadding light on tbe atill eclating ttrogal between tbe 11 ill and Uarrl man naa plane for aupremacy lo traotportatkon between Paget tound aul tbe gulf came to light Sinday wltb the publication of a notice of aiocbollers' meeting of tbe Nevada California Oregon railway. Tbe notice in Itaelr baa no particu lar import to tba average reader but to tbuee who bava watched for yeara tbe progrtka of tbe rivalry between tbe Hill aod llarrlman Interest! It it fraught wltb great Interest. The notice atatea that tbe object of tbe meeting ia to amend tbe orlg iual artlclea of incorporation of the Nevada-California Or-gon railway and to provide for tbe extension of tbe road a distance of 500 miles north-wt-sterly from Heuo instead of 200 mile aa fomerly. Tbe intention appears to extend tbe road to The Dulles ou the ooundury line between Oregon aod Washington. The proposed chaope indicating perhaps io a remote way tba inten tion of tl e mangemen reads aa fol lows: i iu.li .u0 ,uu u, ,.u ,u " state of Nevada through the coouty of U.'oul,..u .1.1. nf V.o lo nfn mnA " " iuuunu luotuum " ""bc California i of Lake und Modoc In the state or and through tbe counties Crook and Wasco in the state of Ore goo to a point near tbe city of Dalles, on the boundary line between the states of Wauhlotgou aod Oregon, a distance of about 5(Xl miles. The Oregon Railway i Navigation Co. ia a iiarriman line out of Port land It wua originally tbe product ot the genius of Henry Villard, who coutroled the trausportatlou lines in tbat country in 1879. The Utll line practically parallels the llarrlman road on the other side of tbe river. Tbe question teems to be whether the move Indicates an adjunct to the Hill plan or tint of llarrlman. The iiarriman mterests already nave a projected line down tbe Deicbatet country, and there Is a branch road out of Fernley projected to meet it and make a juootlon with Uazen. 1 n tbe Hill plans, however, tbere ia seen tbe construction of the Smith road oat of Sacramento doc east to tbe sooth elbow of Lake Tahoe and tbs contemplated extension of tLe Virginia Si Truokee southward wltb possible Junction, This would give au outlet from! San Frauoisoo to lieuo via the Stnitb road and tbe V. & T., and a fartnnr outlet north via the N C O. Wltb an extension over tbe Columbia river the dlreot route into Portlaud and. Puget sonud would be reached. Tbs announcement of the ex tension following olose oo tbe heels of Judge Lovett's statement oonoer eroing tbe incorporation of tba Ore gon Washington Railroad and Navi gation Co., gives color to the story tbat it may be a part ot tbat plan. It would appear from a reoent Southern devolopementt that tbe the announced purpose of Paolflo people contemplate e'teoelve road building lo tba Immediate fu ture. Wedoetday of laat week tbVfoT lowtng important aoooaooement appeared : "lb Oregon Railroad and Naviga tion Co. late to night made official announcement tbat all (be llarrlman lines In tbe Pacitlo north weet. In cluding tbe North Coast Company, bat excepting tbe Southern Pacitlo company's lin?s and tbe railroad water linet aihaidary to it, have been merged into one line to be known aa the Oreson It Washington Kailroad & Navigation Co. The articles of noorooratlon of the new ooupany named Portland as the pUoe of busi ness. The company stock la 151. OCX), 000 and the incorporators are M. J. Buckley, general auperintendant of tbe Oregon Kailroad aad Navigation Company; R. U. Miller tra91o mana ger of tbe same company, ami H. Koebler. Tbe total mileage coming uuder the control of ton Oregon & Washington Railroad Company will he 3073 miles. Tbe par pose of the mtrger, accordiug to tbe statement, is tbat further bond issues are required to carry on new road aud erteusions now under . .. j way, aoa inose projected. It was lounj necessary to rorm a corpora iuuuj uvuDDont jr lu lurui a . t lou with enlarged powers, o hauy DHVDg the right to u.ali Doe espec )ke a large bond issue." Little Fire, Big: Loss A smouldering Ore Tuesday after noon between tbe celling and root was the cause of about 1500 damage to tbe resideuce aud houseb'oTdgoodi of Mrs. Delia Cobb. The loss sus tained was caused by water rather than by tire, for although it wax a "heap big smoke," yet the Hre did not break out. Holes were out In the roof and the, smouldering fire diowned out. In the effort of Mrs. Cobb's many friends to save her belongings tbe room of her brother, Ueo. Han kies, wat entirely overlooked and fortunately tba water did not reaob it either. As a consequence George has bee a congratulating himself on tbe outoome of the would-be oonflar gation, and is of the opinion that this is one intsaooe where all mem- bres of the family were not treated! alik Blooded Bucks llill and Jim Barry have returned to town after being absent for several weeks at Alturas, where they went to get some bucks. The later were ahippei from Wheeler, tbe Reno etookuiuu, aud are of tbe DeLane breed. In alt, ther purchased aonut seventy bead, whiob they will ruu with the balanoe uf their sheep this winter, and as the buoks are One blooded stock, 'It is supposed tbat tbs best of results will bs ob tained.
