Argument upon the con tention of the itate of Oregon that railroads serving it should be required to construct extensive mileage through its central and eastern portions was presented today be fore the interstate commerce commission. W. P. Ellis, attorney for the Oregon public service commission, explained the demand of the state that a new cross-line of railroad running from east to west through its southern section together with north and south extensions should be built He declared the inter state commerce commission had the power to enforce such a requirement. "The Southern Pacific controls transportation in half of Oregon and the Union Pacific controls it in the other half," Mr. Ellis replied. . It is that situation which we seek to have met by this application." Mr. Ellis argued that national military interests re quired the north and south construction through the state eJst of tne Cascade rnngo.
