David Eeoles la back from his trip
to the Interior of Harney county,
where, as told In The Observer several
days ago, he went with F. S. Bram
well of La Grande, to make prelimin
ary Inspection of the proposed exten
sion of the Sumpter Valley road. : The
following from the Baker Herald gives
Information as to the outcome of the
trip: : ' v
; Returning frrim Harney' county yes
terday David fcccles, owner of the
Sumpter Valley railroad and a large
stockholder In the Oregon Lumber
company, left for his home In Ogden.
Joseph West, Joseph Barton and F. S.
Bramwell constituted the other mem
bers "of the Eccles party.'
When asked today' what was the
outlook for extending the Sumpter
Valley Into the Harney country, one
of the party said tliat such a thing Is
possible, but It Is hardly anticipated at
a very early date.
Thev visited the fair at Burn and
were all pleased with the displays, for
It is known that this was considered
- 4
rather a poor crop year ' for the In
terior country. The fair's attendance
was .reasonably large considering ev
erything this year. The party exper
ienced .a couple of snowstorms on the
journey which added Interest to .the
occasion.
"There will necessarily have to be
some engineering problems solved If
the Sumpter Valley road Is ever ex
tended to Burns, said one of the men
who had returned from there. ' "At
present the highest mountain the road
encounters Is a grade of 1000 feet, and
In extending the line It Is found that
over one , mountain range t will he
necessary to climb 1800 and descend
1800 feet Into the valley. It Is no
small matter to build a line Into the
great Harney country. We know that
there Is a great region ' there needing
transportation, but It Is going to take
the combined efforts of all who will
be Interested to build a road there."
