Another move by the Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany to exclude the Hill lines from the Central Oregon
territory became known today with the announcement in
Lakeview of a petition to the interstate commerce com
miasion requesting a hearing on a proposed extension of
the Nevada, California and Oregon line,
The extension would.be a line extending north from
Lakeview into the heart of the Lake county timber belt,
aecrejrating 14 billion feet of pine timber, it is reported.
According to reports in Lakeview, the extension would
be either north' to Bend, to connection with the Oregon
Trunk line terminal, or, as
an extension northwest' to
Pacific lines at Odell.

Some censure la directed at tho
commissioner for not enforcing the

agents employed by him. It Is
pointed out, however, that Cleaver
followed closely the dictates of the
governor nnd tho superintendent of
tho untl-Biiloon leuguu and that he
has often been unduly criticised for
conduct resulting from taking tholr
advice. No- mention Is mudn of

That tha Southern Pacific com
pany controls the N. C. & O. la
generally conceded, aa tbe S. P.
handles all the freight that cornea
out of that territory. If the petition
for the eitenalon Is grantod. It
would give the Southern Pacific aa
affective argument .agamat the ex
tension of the Hill lines into the
Like county timber belt.
Now .Narrow iiuagc
The N. C. &.O. la a narrow guage
lino and haa uuen ncld to be in
adequate for the development of the
Lako county resources. The peti
tion acta forth that tbo narrow
guage would bo cbangod to a stand
ard guage road and that tho pro
posed extension would ulso be stand-
Announcement , of tho cohtom-
pluted extension waa made In Lake
view, bytPA H. McCartney, of Al-
turna, Calif. j president of the N. C
& 0. railroad.
That tho interstate commerce
commission would look favorably
Upon tho extension was the confl
dent prediction ot Mr. McCartney.
Ha anld Hint a hearing several
yenrs agj at Alturaa. when the
abandonment and division cases
were considered, tho Interstate
commerce commission hold that the
N. C. 0. was a transportation
facility that must bo retained In
operation and which served well
the torrltory It tapped.
When asked directly whether or
not the S. iP. controlled tho N. C
& 0. lino, Mr. McCartney would
neither affirm nor deny tho ques
tion. Ho asilr. however, that ft wis
his belief that the Southern Pacific
compuny was desirous of shutting
out tho northern lines from the
Luke county territory. '
llig Timber I'luni
The Luke county plum which Is
the objective of tho two big rail
road systoms of tho west, is between
12 and 14 billion font of timber
which lies 'In Lake county and
which with better transportation
, facilities
would be harvested and
marketed.
Tho move of tho .V-IV A O.
held to be a decided offensive mavd
on the part of the Southern Pacific
ta Exclude tho Northern liner, trnm
t!"o aouthorn Oregon territory. If
the petition wore granted and the
N. C. & O. served the Llko county
timber belt with u atnudarl iMtago
rullroiid, It la usBumcd tint tho HIM
lines would have little argument to
present to tho Interstate, commerce
commission In favor of their en
trance Into that territory.
