UM Mm CEMENT OREGON, SATURDAY, h ' UMBER SHIPMENTSOH STiBWOHN ROM) MUNICIPAL LINK ALREADY IN UHK RAILROAD BUILDER DE V HCRIIIEH PKINVILW ROAD BE ING RtflLT AT.OIWAT COST Robert E. Htraborn Is again here aftor a thirty day absewe at his Spo- kano home, and has been out most of the past week on the Una of our new railroad which he Is building as the first unit of his Oregon-California and Eastern systom. Ha cama overland Tin fiend, being met at Prlnvllte by hie chief engin eer, N. H. Bogue, who brought him to Klamath Falls. Being greatly Interested In all such developments, he stopped at Prlnvllle for several days to Inspect the new Irrigation system being con structed thoro on the district Irriga tion plan. He says It Is one of the finest pieces" of work In the stste .the can als to cover about 25.00? acres, 'are all completed, considerable portions being cement lined and heavy em bawfcmyte fcorwg ol -aosssNe -Cfcaad placed rock. The great dan Is ISO feet high. which Is to Impound the waters of the Ochecho Is so' far along that Its completion la assured by Best March The lands undor system will be practically all under cultivation nest season.' a most remarkable accom plishment, and he looks for great prosperity for Prlnvllle as a result The system will cost one million do! lars and tho water rights $43 por acre, with very reasonable annual maintenance charges. He also 'looked over the now 18 mile railroad project being put In by the city to connect It with -the Hill and Harrlman lines near Red mond. The city started out to build the line with an Issuo ot $100,000 of bonds beside considerable donations, free right of way, etc. Jt has since voted a second like amount and Is about to vote still another $60,000, all of which IS spent without pur chasing any rails or equipment, ultho there are no such construction diffi culties as are encountered on our Klamath Falls lino. The rails aro leased from the connecting lines and some other provision Is to be made for the equipment. While muoh work yet remains to be done the pre sent expectation is to celebrate the openlpg oX.tne line within the next 60 days. , Mr. Btrahorn- says that oven with all the disappointments la the way of Increased cost, etc., the enterprise will be amply Justified by its wonder ful benefit to the city and tributary country, and that the big Irrigation enterprise could not have been fin anced without It. This alone Is worth the total cost of the railroad, but ev en greater developments would fol low Its extension about 20 miles to ward the John Day country, which Is contemplated. As to our own railroad, Mr. Stra horn says, It would do any citlsen good to drive out as far as Olene and see the activity resulting from the operation of the railroad to that point. Lumber awaiting shipment is piled high all over the Olene station .grounds and more la being constantly delivered, Bhtpptagvwlll be greatly facilitated by the side track which waa eomileted last Thursday.
