Hill owned the Pacific & Eastern
Just as vigorously, also that he own
ed the Oregon Electric two years be-
fore he admitted It. That road is
extending now from Salem to Eu-
gent, and 1t Is believed that 1t will
soon ultimately be pushed south
ward to connection with the Rogue
River Valley electric, thus giving
Grants Pass competing north and
south line.
Still another element that must be
figured with in the railroad stua-
tion is the appearance on the scene
OF Dr.. Reddy and California asso-
ciates. Not much Is known about
II were enigmatic when asked to
dlvulge their plans
What may prove to be the most
important move on the railroad
checkerboard, ultimately, Is the eff
fort that has been made by one OF
the largest electric road corporations
IN the eastern states to purchase one
OF the largest power sites on the
Rogue river.
This corporation, so far has no
roads in the west, but In the east is
known as perhaps the greatest
builder OF such roads. The owners
OF the Rogue River power site
agreed to dispose OF their holdings
