"'""i"" ' "". . ..ui.c-1 jiiiiuu ir me water grade route can be built and maintained economically enough to make the project profitable. What amounts to three mountain ranges ol stiuct the present line between Huntington and Pendleton and tho elimination of those grades would be a distinct trans portation benefit. Hut the elimination must have a sound economic basis and that is a difficult thing to find in the project under construction. The Snake River canyon, through which the proposed mad must go, is said to bo the deepest gorge in this country the Grand Canyon not excluded and presents a sheer wall of solid rock for miles that would give railroad engineers a real construction job. Wild guesses as to possible cost vary from ten to twenty-five million and it is doubtful if any rea sonable estimate is known. Certainly it would be the most difficult kind of railroad building through one of the rough est, most sparsely settled, most non-productive sections in the entire country. vx That, in the last analysis, will be the determining factor with a discreet interstate commerce commission. When it becomes evident to that body that no new territory of any value would be opened up, that the project is being proposed and forwarded merely for the sake of satisfying selfish in terests who would capitalize public supervision of railroads, no impartial person can see how it can approve the plan. La Grande, naturally, is opposed to such a project.- It would jeopardize our rail center and our interests are im mediately selfish. Hut there are also sound economic rea sons why this rail extension should not lie made, and we have faith that they will win a favorable hearing when the ease is finally considered. j.r i J is next ounaay Use o&ong Distance Service On tliii day let aside to honor all mothers, your mother will be think ing of you lonesome to hear your voice.
