important, because of great irrigation pro-
jects. The main line viii have its terminal
in Portland, running south and south
easterly to Goose lake. Several branch
lines are specified in the plans. The main
line south will have its terminal at
Phoenix.
About 500 miles of track will be laid in
Oregon. Single and double tracks, telephone
and telegraph systems are included in the
plans for building. There are lOO,O 900 shares
Of stock Of the par value of 800 each,
fully paid and nonassessable. The life Of
the corporation is set at fifty years with
privilege Of renewal as provided by law.
Board of Directors.
William S. Dexter, Edward Robinson and
Sydney r. Rheinstrom Of Omaha, George
w. PASSED. Of Portland, Robert B. Davey
Of Edgemont, S. D., and Louis II. Chalmers
and Henry b. Wilkinson OF Phoenix, con-
stltute the board of directors. Mr.. Pas.
sell is named as general agent of the COM
pany and Edward Robinson OF Omaha is
named as civil engineer in charge, Of con-
struction.
Irrigation is making western land pro-
ductive," said Elgutter. Farming will be
one OF the main pursuits in central and
southern Oregon, and at the present time
there are no railroad facilities to speak OF.
We plan our line to cater to the rich ag-
ricultural section of the state"
The Chicago and Northwestern railroad,
1t is announced, is also planning an eX-
tension through the oregon country. A
line has been surveyed from Goose Lake
to Portland and 1t is likely this road will
be constructed within the next year
This move on the part of the North
western is not unexpected. Transcontlnen
tai trains from Chicago to the Pacific
coast have been carried from Omaha to
ogden by the Union Pacific railroad and
thence to California and the northwest by
the Southern Pacific. 1t is the aim Of the
Northwestern to have lines Of its own from
Chicago to the coast, which will do away
with the. interchange of cars. To Omaha 1t
will mean that Chicago and Northwestern
overland trains will pass through the city
and westward over It's own tracks.
