This would give the company a water grade all the way from Salt Lake City to Portland. Fifty-nine miles of this line have been authorized, and 25 miles have' been graded. This construction Is made necessary by the fact that the pres ent grade from Huntington, golnc west across the Blue mountains, I sometimes as much as 106 feet to the mile, thus rendering ' conditions i of transportation extremely expensive. "The O. R. A N. is now making an extension of its branch from Elgin Ore, to Joseph, a distance of 63 miles. After completion this line will tap an exceptionally rich agricultural section. To the north Is , the great Palouse country of Washington, wonderfully productive In wheat. . "The line of the O. R. & N. be tween Huntington and Portland pi"- sents some of the most difficult oper ating problems on tho Harrlman sys tem. From The Dalles to Portland, a dis tance of 8S miles, the old lino was ful' of curves. The company has, how ever, been removing both curvature and hKavy grades, as well as Improv ing tho track. A total of nbout $1.- 500,000 has now been spent in this di rection. About 227 mllea of the fin est bullast has been placed on this route from Huntington to Portland From The Dalles to Portland, the longest stretch of straight track, at the present time, amounts to two miles. In one Improvement, however, now under way between Troutdale and Bonneville, a distance of 17.48 miles, the reduction in curvature will amount to 1454 degrees. 15 minutes. The amount of bridging is also being largely reduced. Five years ago there were seven and one-half miles of bridges between Portland and The Dalles. Tlhs has now been reduced to about half a mile. Al the bridges which remain are of the finest steel construction. The entire line from Huntington to Portland has been equipped with automatic block slg nals." Strayed.
