. ..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.
