FIGHTING
OVER ROUTE
DOWN ROGUE
JIM HILLS SURVEYORS AND
THOSE OF HARRIMAN'S SYS-
TEN WILL RACE FOR POSSES
SION UF THE ROUTE DOWN
ROGUE RIVER TO THE COAST.


Grants Pass, Ore, Sept. 1Oi-A
crew of surveyors who admit that
they are in the employ of the Hill
interests, is taken as evidence today
that Hill is opposing the Grants Pass
& Western railroad from this city to
Northern California The Grants
Pass line is part of the Hartman
system. Hill surveyors are working
along the Rogue River. This leads
to the belief that the projected line
will follow the Rogue practically to
it's mouth and then strike up the coast
to Marshald, Ore. This would give
the line practically a water grade.
1t is probable that another fight
such as marked the construction of
opposing lines into Central Oregon
up the Deschutes river recently will
be re-enacted in this district, along
the Rogue.
Both sides are assembling an
abundance of implements for con-
struction, and nothing is being left
undone that will gain an advantage
over the other.
