The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-12-15

Through the awarding of contracts
Wednesday by the Wallula Pacific
Railway for the grading of 100 miles
Of right of way, renewed interest is
manifest in the fight on the north
bank of the Columbia River between
that line and the Northern Pacific.
Portland contractors have secured the
work, which was apportioned as fol-
lows: o. D. Wolfe, 10 miles; Archie
Mason. 10 miles: M. B. Golden, ID
miles; Dan Kern. so miles, and E. T.
Johnson 20 miles.
1t has been contended since the in
corporation Of the Wallula Pacific by
L. Gerlinger that it was an adjunct
Of the Hartman system, says the
Portland Telegram. Mr.. Gerlinger is
known to be friendly in a business way
with the Hartman interests, and in
the past he has been closely affiliated
with them. 1t was pointed out that
in trying to parallel the right of way
Of the Hill lines on the north bank,
Mr.. Hartman was carrying out a
bluff" that he wanted Mr.. Hill to
grant him permission to use the tracks
of the Northern Pacific between Port
land and Seattle in exchange for a va
Must Build From Portland.
Hartman must ultimately reach the
Sound by a direct route from Port
land, declares a railroad man, as ne
has no connection of his own with
that territory, and the only foothold
he has in northern Washington is at
Spokane. Hence it was assumed he
Tacoma and Seattle, and that he would
prefer securing a trackage agree
ment to building an Independent road.
The fact that Mr.. Gerlinger has
started actual construction on the
north bank has tended to stagger the
opponents Of the Hartman theory, for
it cannot be understood why such an
expense should be shouldered to force
a move on the part of Mr.. Hill. On
the other hand, the explanation is Of
fered in some quarters that Mr.. Har-
riman is merely pursuing a policy OF
blocking the Northern Pacific at ev-
cry possible point, and if necessary will
go into court to hold the right of way,
and by such methods harass Mr.. Hill
until he will gladly plead for an adj
justment.
Mr.. Gerlinger is n-committal. He
says the funds for the project are be-
ing supplied by New York capitalists.
Last Obstacle Removed.
The action of congress Wednesday in
approving the project of the Northern
Pacific to cross the Columbia at Van
couver removes the last heavy obstacle
in the path of the construction forces.
1t is the intention to start work on
the bridge as soon as the material and
men can be assembled. Peter Simms,
one of the contractors, says opera
tons on the river road are progressing
as satisfactorily as could be desired, in
view of the seasons weather. The ap-
prevail at Washington for the bridge
over the Willamette is expected to fol-
low shortly, and the two will be COM
pleted in time for the tracklayers. In
starting construction from Wallula and
Vancouver. it is hoped to expedite the
building of the road to large degree,
as both bases are we'll located from
a Transportation standpoint The con-
tracts let yesterday by Mr. Gerlinger
apply to the right of way between
Vancouver and Cape Horn.
