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. BUSINESS MEN’S TION. PETI QUAIL SHOOTING.
