HILL LINE TO REACH
CITY IN TWO YEARS
Chief Engineer j. F. Stevens
Has Orders to Rush Build
ing Of Road Southward
Northern Electric May Play Inn
pOrtant Part as Feeder to
Two Big Systems

That the Hill interests could extend,
within two years, their Oregon road,
the Oregon trunk line. south from the
Columbia river, through the Deschutes
valley and into California to .Keddie,
Plumas county, the point of prospective
conjunction with the Western Pacific
railway, and thus be ready in 1912 to
rangement with the Gould line, was
stated yesterday by railroadmen who
had followed the construction of west
ern railroads for years. That this ex-
petition will mark the Hill campaign
was the opinion generally accepted yes
terday when the news of the trackage
arrangement was published exclusively
In The Call
HAS ORDERS TO HASTEN
1t was believed that Hill would lose
little time in tapping the San Fran
cisco and California field. The West
ern Pacific road will be in operation
about the first of the year running
trains through from it's eastern con-
nections at Salt Lake City to its Oak
land terminals. The advantages which
the Hill road can take of the agree
ment with the Goulds will begin as
soon as the connection is made. but
that date Is problematical. All that is
known is that John f. Stevens, the
distinguished engineer, president of the
oregon trunk line, is under directions
from Hill to push the construction
work down the Deschutes valley and
beyond to the south as rapidly as con-
ditions will permit
Charles M. Levey second vice presi-
dent and car Of tt,a
ern Pacific, who has been staying at
the st. Francis hotel. was out of the
city yesterday and could not be
reached on the matter. Other Western
Pacific officials located here are not in
position TO speak on the subject. as
the transaction between the two rail-
road systems is a matter of eastern
negotiation. Hill and his people have
always been secretive about their
plans.
MAY USE ELECTRIC LINE
What part the Northern Electric line
is to play in. the traffic of the West
ern Pacific and ultimately in that of
the Hill lines is now a matter OF con-
siderable speculation in railroad circles
The Northern Electric line taps a rich
Sacramento valley district north of
Oroville and Marysville, the main val
ley points of the Western Pacific. 1t
is understood tnat next summer an ar
rangement will be considered between
the Western Pacific and the electric
line whereby the latter will act as a
feeder for the transcontinental road.
| The Northern Electric is standard
gauge line and refrigerator cars may
be run from Chico and Redding, off the
Western Pacific line, to Oroville and
from there eastward over the Western
Pacific Now the deciduous fruits and
other perishable commodities from

but It is his capacity that astonishes
all who bump up against him.
Tuesday night he ate three large
pineapples. two dozen bananas,
some cheese and crackers, together
with quantity OF cakes and candy,
but this was nothing. Someone said
that Jim could not suck dozen raw
eggs but the fellow who made the
statement did not know jim
Wagers were made, and time set
for Jim to get on the outside Of the
hen fruit. Postmaster Mathews was
appointed as time keeper; the eggs
were counted out and Jim set to work,
and in forty-five seconds the last egg
was down Jim's throat.
Some years ago they had an eating
contest between Jim and John Bundy
of this city. La Harpe thought she
had a man who could eat SO contest
was arranged and the menu gotten up
consisted Of thirteen pounds. It was
started with pound of bologna,
cheese. crackers and honey; then
came cookies, beans, pies and cake.
oranges, figs and to this was added
two quarts Of water. The bill of
fare wound up with three dozen large
bananas; IN all there was thirteen
pounds
Well, Bundy, when he saw what
was before him, lay down, but not
so with the man from Terre Haute:
he saw the good things and wanted
the prize money. And he got 1t too.
for he finished the thirteen pounds
with apparent ease.
Mr.. Perry declares that he can
eat one hundred quail in one hundred
days. instead of thirty in that many
days, as has been said that no man
can do.
It is nothing for Mr.. Perry to go up
town after he has had supper and eat
a pound OF honey without anything
else.
The feat OF Tuesday night, one
dozen raw eggs in As seconds, is what
Jim is proud Of
