EASTERN OREGON light and Power Company : HOG E CUT -IFF P LAD LITTLE CREDENCE GIVEN THE RUMOR HERE HOWEVER. Extensive Outlays of Money at L:i Grande Refutes Rumored Cut-off. from Portland and the east nearly 100 miles.- The curvature between Uma tilla and Huntington would be avoid ed and many of the grade would be overcome. "The construction of such a line would leave several Important cities In eastern Oregon, including Baker, La Grande and Pendleton off the main road, but It Is still 'pointed out that the business of that iportlon of the state is developing so rapidly anyway that a train service equally as fre quent as that now provided for thor ough traffic will be required to hand le the local freight and passenger business. , ' "After passing through the produc tive John Day valley In the eastern part of the state a number of good routes are available for the new road, any of which would offer an easy en trance into Portland. It has been as serted that the new tracks might con nect with the Deschutes valley line now building 'toward Redmond 'from the Columbia river line, or that con nection with the main line might be 'made through the Blggs-Shaniko road. The short lines between Arl ington and Condon and between Hep pner Junction and Heppner also af ford means of reaching the river roan should the eastern and western work MAY DOUBLE TRACK SOON. With over $100,000 being spent on new shops, which are far too great in capacity to be kept busy by merely local train power, and various other costly improvements under way there seems to be little ground for the rumor that the Harrlman system is planning construction of gigantic cut-off from Vale to Heppner, sur veys for which are said to have been made. The announcement eliminat ing from Portland this week Is given but little credence in this city when men are abreast with developments of the O-W appropriations. In the face of the announcement comes ths report that the entire O-W is to be double tracked; another impractical move In the event the proposed cut off is ever constructed. Referring to the cut-off a Portland paper says: , "Construction of an extension of the present line from Ontario to Vate In eastern Oregon through the cen tral portion of the state with a con nection with one of the roads now op erating south from the Columbia riv er, possibly at Heppner, is reported to be the move planned by the Harrl man interests of shortening the (pres ent lne between Portland and its east ern connections and of reducing the running time of fast trains between this city and the Oregon Short line from Jive to six hours. "It Is known, however, that this course has been surveyed and fig ures of the probable cost of construe tion are on file In the offices of the company both here and In New York, "Not only would Buch a piece of road eliminate much difficult track age but It would pierce a productive portion of the state that at present Is without railroad facilities. Thai the road would be a paying proposl . tion from the start is a conclusion that has been drawn from all calcu ' latlons that have been made on the subject "It Is estimated that the proposed new lnle would reduce the distance O'Brien Admits That Money Has Been Appropriated for That Purpose General manager and vice presi dent, J. P. O'Brien, of the O-W, with reference to the announcement made yesterday that the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific as well as the other subsldaries of the ' Harrlman lines were to double track from Portland to Huntington, said: "The double-tracking of, the line from Portland to Huntington has been authorized, and we shall do just as much work ont it as we possibly can the present year. We are now building the PortJarid-Troutdale cut off, which Is soon to be finished, and from there we are planning to add another main-line track to Bonneville. The next link will be started from a point about five miles west of The Dalles and continued on to Blalock, and from that point eastward to the Coyote-Echo cutoff the construction v 11 be done as rapidly as wie can. "This will mean practically 215 nlleS of double-tracking. The work from Echo to Huntington will depetid largely upon what 13 done in connec tion with the Central Oregon situa tion. The Deschutes Road fn to the 'nterlor, with thp proposed east and west line from NatroYi to Odell and across to Ontario will give us in real ity a double track line for the O.-W. R. & N. while the Natron-Klamath Falls extension will mean a north and south double-track line for the South ern Pacific." Mr. O'Riien added that the new work would be pushed forward just 8ooij as weather conditions permit and that at least $5,000,000 will be ex pended on the main-line double-tracking for the current year. Legislatures Help Whitman. Whitman College, Walla Walla, Wash., Feb. 1. (Special) Unanimous vote in both Benate and house, the leigislatures'of Oregon and Idaho last Monday adopted a memorial to Con gress asking for the grant to Whit man College of the abandoned Fort Walla Walla Military Reservation. The Washington legislature had al ready adopted the same memorial by an overwhelming vote the previous week. The pasage of the bill before Congres adjourns looks hopeful.
