Portland
Kelled Upon to
Part Toward Supporting
New Railroad.
.Preliminary surveys on the Oregon,
California & Eastern Railway, pro
jected . by Robert E. Strahorn, are
virtually completed and arrangements
for financing- the enterprise are well
tinder way.
Mr. Strahorn left Portland last night
for Bend, whence he will start today
on an automobile trip over the route
of the proposed line. He will devote
about three weeks to the work.
Maps and reports covering every foot
of the road now are being assembled
in Mr. Strahorn's office in Portland.
They will be complete in every detail
within the next ten days.
Several important steps in the finan
cial arrangements already have been
completed. People in the Central Ore
gon towns to be benefited by the new
railroad have come loyally to Mr. Stra
horn's assistance. At Bend they have
granted free rights of way through the
city and a terminal site. That portion
of the right of way that could not be
acquired free of charge was provided
under a bond issue.
Klamath to Tote on Bonds.
The people of Klamath Falls are to
hold a special election on November 14
to decide whether they will issue bonds
for $300,000 to aid the project. Through
a misapprehension as to the law gov
erning special bond elections, the Mayor
of Klamath Falls, a lew weens ago,
vetoed the bill calling for this elec
tion. However, the technical obstruc
tions have been entirely removed and
the measure now is up for considera
tion of the voters. It is generally con
ceded that the bonds will be authorized
with a substantial majority.
The monev of the Klamath Falls DCO
pie is to be applied on the Klamath
Falls end of the line and Mr. Strahorn
has arranged to begin his construction
work there either this Fall or early in
the Sarin sr.
Burns. Harney County. Lakeview and
other important points on the line have
triven equally generous assistance. In
fact the Central Oregon people have
furnished or have arranged to furnish
approximately $1,600,000 of the money
required to build the road.
Total Cost Is B.OOO.OOO.
Reports from Mr. Strahorn's engi
risers show that the entire project
coverlne approximately 425 miles of
railroad, can be built for a sum well
within his original estimate of $6,
POO.OOO. This figure covers the actual
construction work only. It does not
Include fences, station buildings, tele
graph wires arnl other essential prop
erties. Neither does it Include equip
ment. It is expected, however, that
comparatively little rolling stock will
be required only enough to handle the
local business. The connecting lines
probably can be depended upon to pro
vide cars for the through business.
The road as now projected, accord
ing to the "final surveys, provides for
a line running southeasterly from
Bend to Crane Creek Junction, the
western terminus of the Union Pacific's
Ka stern Oregon line. A branch, six
miles long, will connect this line with
Burns. Another branch, about 12 miles
Jong, will connect it with Narrows,
between Malheur and Harney lakes.
At a point a short distance southeast
of Bend a line will drop south to Sil
ver Lake. At Silver Iake one fork
will extend around the eastern side
of Summer Lake to Lakeview, while
another fork will extend southwest
erly to Klamath Falls. A branch line
will extend from Dairy, a point about
10 miles north of Klamath Falls, to
"Bonanza, an equal distance eastward,
Ultimately, it is expected, the Bonanza
line will be extended eastward to Lake
View. Portland Support Kxpected.
Tt is Mr. Strahorn's intention to push
construction work on all the main lines
of his system as rapidly as possible.
3 re will give most of his time this
"Winter to the larger problems of
financing the project. In this connec
tion he relies confidently on the as
surances given him by a committee of
prominent Portland bankers and busi
ness men last year when they presented
Jiim a petition asking him to make in
vestigations of the Central Oregon pos
sibilities. He will be ready within a
few weeks to go before them and give
Tin account of the mission upon which
they sent him.
Now that Central Oregon people al
rady have demonstrated their faith in
the undertaking by coming to its as
sistance in a material way, it is ex
pected that Portland people will do
their full share. Mr. Strahorn, it is pre
sumed, expects to get additional finan
cial, assistance from Eastern capital.
"I hope that the people of Oregon
will make It as" easy as possible to get
capital to come in here to do the work,
he said yesterday. "We should not dis
courage capital by hostile legislation
such as the so-called "land and loan'
bill that is to be voted on at the com
ing election. If that measure passes
I'm afraid it will be impossible to get
money for the road that means so much
to tho interior of the state, to Portland
and to all of Oregon.
