President E. E. Lytle says the
filing of these incorporation arti
cles means the building of the ex-
tension at once. Construction will
be begun as soon as the weather in
that region is suitable, and the line
will be put through to completion
this year unless some unexpected
obstacle shall be found.
For a vcar or more work has

' the agricultural, timber and min -
j eral resources of the region to be

I Irrigation companies have been ia
the field and have cxa-nsivu recla
mation projects t,nder way. Lum
bermen from Wisconsin, Minmwo
tu, Michigan and Iowa have ac
quired large tracts of pine timber
along the Deschutes in Crook coun
ty, and are ready to erect saw mills
the minute .there shall be transpor
tation for the product. Three East
ern companies own 44,000 acres
covered with yellow pine, all acces
sible from the proposed extension.
Mining development in the vicinity
of Ashwood, a new town on Trout
creek, has reached a stage that de
mands transportation facilities.
From the Oregon King considera
ble ore has been already shipped,
under the necessity of teaming 20
rough miles to Shaniko. The Ash
wood is another mine the richness j
of which has been demonstrated,
and it has ore now on the dump
awaiting a railroad. The opera
tion of these mines alone would
warrant the construction of the
railroad, for the tonnage they will
yield will be large and constant.
All these int "rests have been wait
ing some time for the railroad to
move forward, and great activity
in tho-e fields of endeavor is sure
to follow the opening of the road.
Farms and orchards will occupy
the range. There is every reason
to expect as groat a transformation
in that country as was worked by
the railroad when it was built
through Sherman "ounty. Settlers
immediately , poured in, and the.
volume of trullij that came out has
not ceased to be a cause .'or wonder.
