Business was slow until 1933, when the Tillamook HWAC# 91008 Burn hit, scorching 11 million board feet of timber west of the end of the GC&WR railroad. This was a major boom for the railroad as the timber had to salvaged soon or be lost due to from disease and rot. Three major logging companies and land holders came together to form the Consolidated Timber Company. They were the Blodgett Company, Crossett-Western and Henry F Cheney. By 1936, the end of the GC&WR was extended a short distance to a place just west of Glenwood. A large 4-track yard, engine facilities, and camp was constructed. From there, Consolidated Timber ran a line west into the woods and built numerous logging spurs. During next 10 years, logging railroad traffic would be frequent and plentiful, with as many as 4 to 6 log trains running on GC&WR at any one time. Trains would run the entire length of the GC&WR and then run on the United Railways all the way to Rafton, northwest of Portland, OR, where the logs would be dumped into the river. By 1946, the Consolidated Timber Co. had panned out the timber and ceased operations. Track west of Glenwood was abandoned. With little to no traffic to handle on the GC&WR, the line was doomed. Completely shut down at the end of 1949, 1950 officially abandoned and in 1951 the tracks were pulled up. Unissued and uncancelled railroad stock at $100 each for Des Chutes Railroad Company.

Deschutes Railroad War began in 1908 when 2 competing railroad companies, the Deschutes and Oregon Trunk Railway, started building lines from the mouth of Deschutes River across central Oregon. A Union Pacific subsidiary, Deschutes Railroad, was owned by Edward H. Harriman and the Oregon Trunk was owned by James J. Hill. Harriman was the 1st to begin construction and decided that the eastern side of the river would be the best route. Hill began building his own line on the western side. In the Deschutes River Canyon, the 2 roads ran side-by-side or shared the same rails and terminals. Following years brought many legal disputes to decide which company should have sole access to the canyon. Competing construction crews would often blow up the other side’s supplies by igniting their supplies of black powder. Boulders were dumped onto camps, and small gunfights broke out. Casualties remained light though and by 1912 the 2 railroads were operating on mostly separate lines. Prag collection. Est. $50-80 HWAC# 81834 Bid online at FHWAC.com or call 775-851-1859 263

Seymour was a slim, dapper operator in his mid-thirties. He had speculated in cotton in Texas and grain in Chicago before coming to New York to buy a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and stage a run of stock manipulations. Together, Luckhardt and Seymour dressed up the old Salt Spring mine until it became the new speculative favorite of Broadway. They bought the mine for $22,500 and gave it the exotic stage name of the South Pacific Mining Company. Staying behind the scenes themselves, they gave their creation a conservative-looking, paper capital of $500,000 in $1 shares and a respectable-looking paper directorate that included New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Garret A. Hobart and several New York brokers who were distinguished by the fact that they had ‘not before been identified with any mining scheme.’ Posing as a disinterested expert, Luckhardt then came forward with a wonderfully romantic report on the mine – that it was first discovered by Spaniards, that it had produced the richest gold quartz ever found in California, and that it was abandoned only because the Indians attacked and burned the mill. Further fantasizing a 1,200-foot fall of water from the Amargosa River to power a fifty- or more stamp mill, Luckhardt envisioned profits running into millions a year.
