Very truly yours,
A. B. H ammond .
In addition to the above, Mr. W. G.
Gosslin, general agent of the land depart­
ment of the A. and C. R. Ry. Co., report­
ed to the association an interview with
Mr. Hammond respecting this matte!*,
and was authorized to say that Mr.
Hammond would at once place engineers
and surveyors in the field and survey out
a route, providing that a right of way
one hundred and fifty feet wide could be
obtained, one hundred feet to lie for the
railroad and fifty feet for the wagon road.
Your commission will undoubtedly con­
sider this proposition in all its bearings,
and little suggestion is needed from us.
While a right of way of that width may
be more difficult to obtain, it will
make the finest highway in the state, and
the wagon road on railway grades will
be something not yet known in Oregon.
You who know the route and the senti­
ment of the people concerned, will judge
best whether this—under suitable guaran­
tees as to construction, etc.—is a work­
ing proposition.
We may assure you, however, of the
ddep interest of this association in this
enterprise.
Very truly yours,
