Activity oo the 0. W. R. & N
Co. 'a now line between Hend and
Vale will continue Incessantly
unlit it it completed with ft view
of providing a new aoJ shorter
route between Portland and the
East and of opening the fertile
valley of Malheur and Harney
counties to early settlement, says
the Oregonian.
Large forcea of men and teams
now are at work oo the line be
tween Vale and Dog Mountain,
which is under contract to the
Utah Construction Company. In
s,)lteof the weather they have
continued activity throughout
the winter. With the approach
of spring the forces will be great
ly Increased.
More than &4 miles of grading
have been completed and 84
miles are under way. Track has
been laid from Vale, distance
of 80 mites, and all but 10 miles
of this has been ballasted and
completely surfaced. The prin
cipal tunnel is 89 miles west tf
Vale. It will be 2500 feet long
and is more than bait done. It
will be finished early in the
sprinkr. Tracklaying will then
proceed west of the tunnel.
It will be necessary to cross
the Malheur river 17. tiroes. The
original plans called for 19 such
crossings, but a change of line
recently adopted eliminates two
of them. Steel bridges will be
built.
Kights of way have been se-
sured for 100 of the 189 miles be
tween Vale and Dog Mountain.
Right of way agents are busy to
the west. Now that the O.-W.
II. & N. Co. has taken over the
construction work, the name
"Oregon Eastern," under which
the original contracts wete let,
will be abandoned. The new
road will be part of the O.-W. R.
& N. property.
It is probable that the line be
tween Bend and Dog Mountain
will, be bul't eastward from Hend
and that Bend will become the
center of operations.
The new road will provide a
route between Portland and the
East about 75 miles shorter than
the present route and will elimi
nate many grades and much cur
vat u re.
The entire project will cost
more than 10,000,000 and nearly
all the equipment and supplies
are being bought in Portland

Experimental and demonstra
lion work is needed in Central
and Southeastern Oregon, Presl
dent VV. J. Kerr ol the Oregon
Agricultural College believes. I
his biennial report to the regents
be says:
"The Bureau of Plant Indus
try, United States Department
of Agriculture, proposes to fur
nish fa.OOO a year for this work
if located on the Klamath Falls
irrigation project, provided an
additional $5,000 a year can be
secured from the state or other
sources. It is expected that the
department of the interior will
furnish the land, buildings.initial
equipment, and water lor irri
gation. ' The different lines of work
would Include tho demonstration
of the best methods of irrigation,
with alkali prevention, crop rota
tion for fertility, utilization of
rops for animal production, till
age methods for moisture con
servation, and variety adaptibil-
ity, including potatoes, barley,
field peas, roots and other forage
crops.
The irrigation work in this
district would meet the needs for
data in practically all of the ele
vated areas In Central and East
ern Oregon. Should the offer of
the government be accepted, the
additional $3,000 required for
maintenance should be divided,
probably, between the county
aud the state on the basis of half
and half, or two-fifths by the
county aud three fifths by the
state.
There is also great demand
throughout the state for other
work to determine the best meth
ods in irrigation, in dry farming,
in dairying, and in many other
lines of agriculture, but the pur
pose of this work is "to demon
strate to the people what these
methods are. rather than to car
ry on original investigations for
the purpose of determining new
truths. This, therefore, is ex
tension or demonstration work
rather than experimental work
