D, J. Russell, president of Southern Pacific, said that SP's announcement is 'to make sure there is no misunderstanding about Southern Pacific's intentions to preserve the Bieber route of WP's so-called "Inside Gateway," be tween California and the Pacific Northwest. "Ever since SP applied for WP control last October," he said, "SP has insisted that it would re tain the Bieber Route and main tain Western Pacific, with all its routes and gateways, as a sep arate railroad." "The arrangement we're offer ing now should remove all doubt I as to SP's desire ai'.d Intent to maintain the separate and inde pendent existence of the Bieber route," Russell said.

MARKET NOTE Taking note of the market's hesitancy on Tuesday' and Wednesday, Martin Gilbert of Van Alstyne, Noel & Co. savs there "Our primary aim in seeking control of WP has always been to take advantage of the opportuni ties for these important improve ments that the parallel and in terweaving nature of SP and WP lines affords." he said, "and this would not be changed." Under the proposed arrange ment, which would also require approval of the ICC, Southern Pa cific would be agreeable to West ern Pacific granting Santa Fe full trackage rights to serve indus tries now or hereafter located along the WesteSi Pacific line mentioned. Santa Fe would also be able to interchange cars di rectly with the Great Northern at Bieber. Russell said that SP contem plates that reasonable rental charges would be assessed against Ihe Santa Fe for use of Western Pacific trackage and that operat ing and maintenance charges would be divided as they now are on the 67-mile line between the Moiave and Bakersfield, where Santa Fe has been using South ern Pacific tracks over the Teha- chapi mountains for the past 75 years. Details of the proposal will be given at public hearings which the ICC is expected to hold this spring on control of the Western Pacific. "We plan to put on a full and specific case showing how the public will benefit Irom bP con trol of Western Pacific," Russell said, "through more efficient, bet ter and less costly rail service lhan can be offered by any other plan for the Western Pacific.

Average outstanding commer cial loans were up $33 million over 1959 and a substantial in crease in the number of loans made was reported, which indicat ed the strong demand for indus trial and business loans. Voss said. "The expanded use of credit and other banking services in 1(160 reflected Ihe increased tem po of business in Oregon," Voss told the shareholders. "While the major industry forest products- employed lower workers and pro duced less lumber than a year earlier, many segments of the economy rose to record levels. Construction exceeded all prior periods. Total employment and payrolls reached new peaks, and consumer spending was high. .To ward the end of the year, how ever, there was a mild drag on the economy, which has continued into 1961," Voss added.
