Belem—The United States bureau of Psndlston—In the svsnt of the con­ struction oi the portage railway between Colijo and The Dalles, which now seemr assured, an electric railroad may be built between Pendleton and some point on the Columbia river. Thu rumor is current on the streets, and it is believed that something tangible lies behind it. It is understood that the prometerá of this scheme are prominent residents of Umatilla county and that they will carry tbe project to a success­ ful termination, provided the portage road is bnilt, seems certain. The promoteis will not talk for pub­ lication, refusing to give any informa­ tion at all concerning the project. “It ia too soon to announce our intentions," said one of the interested persons, "for the portage road has not been built as yet.” It is understood that two objective points are now under consideration, the one being Umatilla and the other Wal­ lula. The latter point will probably be chosen, as s rosd between that junc- tian and this city would open up un- limited traffic out of Pendelton. Wheat raisers are anxious that the road be built, as the. saving i» grain freight rates will be enormous.
