This 10 Most Important Railroad
Announcement Since 1907 and
Other Roads Are Expected
to Follow Suit.

committees of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific lines voted to com.

the Oregon Short line from the juno
ton with the Union Pacific main line
at Granger, Wyo., to Huntington, Ore,
also the line along Columbia river in
Oregon to Portland. a total of 1873
miles.
This is the most important an.
nouncement Of railroad construction
work since the panic of 1907, and is
expected to be followed shortly by
the news of similar progressive policy
and by other railways systems.
With this appropriation it was
semi-officially announced that the
Hartman lines. will expend over
E;300,000,OO0 in development through
the sections traversed by the rail.
roads so controlled.
When the work provided for is
comprehensive years is estimated as
the necessary period for the work
the twin rails will cross the continent.
Several roads now have double tracks
to Chicago from New York. The Chi
cago and Northwestern has double
track from Chicago to Omaha, where
the Union Pacific is to start work.
This distinctive sign of confidence
in returning, renewed prosperity,
was received joyously in financial
circles. In statement Judge Lovett
clearly sets out the reasons for the
great appropriation. The judgment
of past experiences are used as the
argument for the future improve
ment. The tone of the statement was
commented upon as the most progress
sive that has come from the railroad
offices in recent years and attracted
wide comment. The actions of the
other great railroad systems are
awaited with eagerness in the bust.
