ELECTS CHIEFS

w. C. Edes. district engineer of
maintenance Of way of the Southern
Pacific, was elected yesterday as chief
engineer of the Northwestern Pacific
Railroad Company. Thomas Mellersh.
who for many years was comptroller
OF the California Northwestern. was
elected comptroller of the new corpo-
ration.
For several years since the Cali
fornia Northwestern came into the
possession of Hartman. Edes has
been familiarizing himself with the
work of his new position Edes Will
build the road north from Willis and
experts say that the line presents
many engineering difficulties. The
route will follow the windings OF Eel
River and high mountains will be
tunneled. Several bridges will be
built. and every precaution will be
taken against the ravages of turbu-
lent winter streams and severe storms.
The cost of building the road will run
into several million dollars. It has
been decided to build many branch
lines into the mountains so that the
new corporation can get out lumber.
