It is said that only two ¡daces on the proposed route will require any consid erable engineering skill to surmount. The road will tap one of the most ex tensive timber belts in the state, and a fertile farming and dairying district, so that no doubt remains regarding suffi cient business to pay for the building and operating expenses. Some time ago the Board of Trade took up the matter of the building of a road to Tillamook with the Southern Pacific. The members corresponded with President Huntington, who said he would build a road just as soon as it was certain the investment would pay. He did not think that would be this year. But it seems others now believe the in vestment will pay. Merchants in Port land have heretofore depended upon getting their goods to Coast points via boats, a verj’ unsatisfactory means. The greatest hardship rests upon the Coast residents, who have a difficult time in reaching the outside world. To go to Tillamook via Coast or overland takes half as much time as a trip from Port land to Chicago. yy OF C. & E. Thayer. ! CHAS. PETERSON, Hot and Cold Raths.
