Reuort of surveyor and viewers on

of the new Harriman extension
into central and eouthern Oregon
not later than January 1, 1909,
eta than 50 days hence, according
to an interview published . in the
Portland Telegram of November 9.
The announcement was made by
P. O'Brien, general manager of
the Harriman lines, Monday. He
further added that if the work pro
ceeds under anything like favor
able conditions the scream of the
engine whistles and the ramble of
freight and passenger trains will
ne heard in the fertile empire of
Crook county within a year or 15
months.
The large crews of e urveyors who
have been working in the field
along several proposed rights of
way are about ready to bring in
their estimates as to the most fea
sible route, as well as the total cost
of the new line. Mr. O'Brien de
clares that theEe estimates should
be in his nanus within a week: or
so and after tbey have been gone
over in the Portland offices they
will be sent east for approval at
Harriman headquarters. No delay
in getting down to actual work is
anticipated thereafter.
"I shall be greatly disappointed
if we are not able to make the dirt
fly along the route that proves the
most practicable one by the first of
January," said Mr. O'Brien this
morning (Monday). "All prelim
inary details should be cleaned up
by that time. From reports re
ceived from the surveyors now
finishing their duties, we should
have the complete estimates of the
cost of the new road here some
time next week. When it has been
follow, the estimates will be sent
east and I tee no reason why the
construction of the new road should
not be authorized in time for us to
let the contract and get started by
January 1. From the conditions
in the industrial world and in the
labor market it should cot take
very long to assemble the necessary
material and labor.
"The country through which the
Central Oregon line will be built
is such that grading and construc
tion work can be prosecuted all
winter, without having to shut
down because of weather.
"The road will be a costly one,
and ia many places the work will
be slow, for there is a vast deal of
heavy rock work to be done. In
spots along the Deschutes canyon
the solid cliffs rise 1,000 to 1,500
feet in a perpendicular line, and in
those places progress must of
necessity be slow. But there will
be no stopping, once we get under
way. While the class of construc
tion that will be required will in
volve considerable engineering dif
ficulties, there will be little or no
tunneling and not any very large
bridges."
As nearly as Mr. O'Brien could
estimate, the length of the main
line of the new extension will be
from 110 to 115 miles. Even the
best guesses as to what the new
line will cost ultimately are only
approximate. There will be some
stretches where it will cost better
than $50,000 a mile and possibly
closer to $100,000, but in a general -way
it is figured that about $1,000,
C00 is a fair estimate of the total
cost.
TAFT 320 ELECTORS; BRYAN, 163
Crook County Gives Taft 920 Votes, Bryan 537
Official Returns by Precincts
Contluued on page 4.
Final official election figures
show that Taft and Sherman car
ried the country a week ago Tues
day by a majority of 157 electoral
votes. The Republican electors
received 320 votes and the Demo
cratic electors received 163. Crook
county went for Taft by a plurality
of 157 votes, the exact figures being;
Taft, Republican, 920.
Bryan, Democrat, 537.
Debs, Socialist, 109.
Chafin, Prohibition, 42.
Hisgen, Independence, 1.
Missouri, Indiana and Montana,
among the doubtful states, went
for Taft. So did West Virginia,
though there was little doubt as to
which way the state would go.
Colorado, Nebraska and Kentucky
went for Bryan, as did Maryland,
though in the latter state Bryan
received 7 votes and Taft 1. Mary
land voted the same way for
Roosevelt four years ago, tho pe
culiar result, due to splitting of
the electoral vote, being attribu
table to the iguorant negro popu
lation, many of whom vote only for
the first republican elector and let
the sther six or seven go by de
fault to the democrats. In all of
these states the pluralities were
small, ranging from less than 1,000
to about 20,000.
Pennsylvania returned the heavl
est majority for laft, something
like 300,000; New York cave the
republican candidate more than
200,000, even New York city going
for Taft by 11,000; and Uhio gave
her native son, the president-elect
over 100,000, the vote in the Buck
eye state being the largest ever
polled. Washington piled up
Plurality halt as big as Unio, and
Oregon went republican by be
tween 24,000 and 25,000.
Bryan carried the solid South,
his own state and those enumerat
ed above. Taft carried the entire
North with the exception of Ne
braska. Kansas went republican,
and the official count alone can
determine the result in Nevada.
Several of the Northern states
elected democratic governors, but
almost without exception the other
state officials are republicans.
Minnesota, North Dakota, Indiana,
Montana and Nebraska elected
democratic governors, though send-
ng strong republican delegations
to congress. Tho next house of
representatives will have a com
fortable republican working major
ity of 42, and the senate will also .
remain strongly republican.
Socialists and prohibitionists
alike were greatly disappointed in
their vote, though Eugene V. Debs,
socialist candidate for president,
sees a gain in the figures from the
rural districts. The socialists ex
pected to poll 1,000,000 votes in
the nation but received only about
half that number, the vote in the
cities, where socialism is strongest,
falling off almost 2 to 1 from the
vote four years ago.
Prohibitionists received a much
smaller vote than four years ago,
though because of the general suc
cess of local option at the polls all
over the Union they had been led
to expect a large increase. '
Hisgen, Hearst's nominee for
president, received such an insig
nificant vote that the figures are
not worth recording. New York
city gave him 28,000, while in
Wisconsin not a single man voted
for him.
With the result in Maryland and
