OFFICIALS EXPLAIN
HUNTISCTOII CUT-OFF
In an official communication to the
LcwlMton Herald, the Union Pacific
offlcluls speak as follows on the Hunt-
Ington-LewtHton cut-off:
"At the present time the Oregon
Short Line Is constructing a new
branch from Huntington, Ore., down
the valicy of the Snake rlyor, .de
signed eventually to extend to Lewis
ton, connecting there with the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company, and
probably become a through trans-continental
line. 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."
