TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, JULY 13, 1911
TILLAMOOK WILL GET
FIRST WORK.
Hill Interests May Ap
propriate Money for
Line Before Year
Ends.
With the completion of his in-
spection of the Pacific A Eastern
Railway, operating between Med
ford and Butte Falls, Carl R. Gray,
president of the Hill lines in Ore
gon, has traveled over every foot
of main line and branch track of
which he has charge, Mr. Gray
returned to his office yesterday
ufter an absence of nearly u week
in Southern Oregon and the Will
amette and Rogue River Valleys.
By taking charge of the Spokqne
A Inland Empire system a few
weeks ago, Mr. Gray has bepn re
quired to arrange his affair# sothat
he can give that road some atten
tion. He left Portland last night
for Spokane and will be there two
or three days. Until he becomes
acquainted with the Spokane situa
tion, it will be necessary for him to
spend part of each week there.
Now that he has completed hie
inspection, which work he started
soon after he became president of
the local system, he is able to de
termine what improvements ate
neiessury and which of the devel
oprnent projects will be carried out
first. Upon his recommendations
will depend, to a great extent, the
amount and chararter or work that
will be done here.
The Hill interests, it is under
stood, are eager to complete the
construction of the Tillumook line
to the coast und it is likely that
this will be the first of the unfin
ished enterprises taken up.
Money to carry on this work may
be appropriated before the end of
the year. The original intention to
push the line to Tillamook Bay be
fore January 1, 1912, has been
abandoned.
«
Mr. Gray ridiculed the story cir
culated last week that a large sum
of money reputed to be $25,1X10,900
had been devoted by the Great
Northern directors for carrying out
various Oregon projects.
“It would be impossible to up-
propriate such a sutn through tlie
(■rent Northern ulone, explained
Mr. Gray, it must be remembered
that the Northern Pacific is an
equal owner with the Great North
ern in all the lines included in the
locul system, und it would require
the vote of that road as well to
make the necessary expenditures.
“Although Mr. Hill and his asso
dates are eager to finish the work
outlined for the state, nothing will
be done until conditions are right.
Then all will not be done at once.
One project will be tuken up und
worked out ut a time. It would be
foolish to try to do everything at
the same time, us was suggested
lust week.
“From now on Mr. Hill can pro
ceed carefully and openly with bin
plans. There are no more strategic
points to be worked out. Our way
through Central and Southern Ore
gon is unhindered and when the
time comes we will push our lines
into those places where they will
do the most good. It is impossible
to say how soon any of the work
will be done. Both J. J. Hill and
his eon, L. W. Hill, are away on
their vacations now and nothing
will develop in their absence.
“It is certain that when anything
does development announcement
will come from an official Bource.
It surely wont come from the chief
engineer.”
Mr. Gray was greatly pleased
with his observations in the uppei
Willamette and Rogue River Y’al-
leys. He covered much territory in
the vicinity of Medford by train
and automobile and declared yes
terday that he never saw a finer
country anywhere.
