MANDATE
ODELL ASKED BY STATE
WASHINGTON, March 27. 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. Com-
