Especial Dispatch TO The CALI

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 1l.-Announce-
ment that articles of incorporation
have been filed at Phoenix Ariz, by
the Portland. Lakeview and Eastern
railway company. with a capital stock
of $10,o0O.OO0. TO build road from
Portland TO Lake View, with branch
extending to lower bridge in the Des
Chutes river valley and branches
reaching TO several points in central
Oregon has caused much conjecture
here as to the interests back of the
line

Sydney Rheinstrom of Omaha, George
W PASSED. of Portland, Robert b.
Davey of Edgemont, s D.. and Louis
n Chambers and Henry B. Wilkinson
OF Phoenix, Ariz.. as directors.
The line is to be about 500 miles in
length, together with its branches. The
fact that the line is to build into the
Des Chutes canyon. where Hills Ore
gon trunk line is building, has caused
the belief here that ii may be a hill
enterprise, but, on the other hand. it is
claimed such line would prove VAL
uable branch for the Western Pacific,
giving Gould an outlet to Portland and
the Puget sound country.
An extension from Lake View to a
point near the California Nevada line
on the Western Pacific would give a
through line into the northwest.
