EQUAL SUFFRAGE
SURVEYORS NEAR THE DALLES.
Rai'rosd Engineers Are Supposed to
Be Employed by Northern Pacific.
The Dalles, Aug 14.—A camp of
railroad engineers, established about
five mites above The Dalle*. is giving
considerable uneasiness to railroad
men Interested in that section of ’he
state Both the OKA N. and the
Columbia Southern, having r.te rests
In the country which the party is
working, are watching »ne progres* of
the surveys closely
Though nothing Las i>eeu done thus
far to Indicate the road interested in
the surveys railroad men believe that
the Northern Pacific is behind the
work. That neither the O R 4 N
nor any of its allied corporations ba*
undertaken the work seems certain.
The Northern Pacific is the only other
line near enough to this territory to
be seriously ron«ldered in rhe specu
lation*
The interest of the Northern Pa
cific in such a survey is explaned
by railroad men to be the same as
that which Induced the Mellen sys
tem to survey a line down the north
bank of the Columbia river. At pres
ent the Northern Pacific line is but
40 miles from the point where the
surveyors are working, and a line
down the Columbia would bring them
much doser.
Just above The Dalle* there is an
deal place for the construction of a
"aDroad bridge. Three bv.oot spans
would allow the Mel.en line to put in
a substantial bridge. Natural abut-
•"ent« are to be uad on ea'b ride of
the river and the coat of building a
bridge would be light.
Bas ng their predictions on the as
sumption that the Northern Pacific
s soor to build down the north bank
of the Columbia railroad men insist
that it is most likely this road has
; tt th» party of surveyors into the
field which is working above Tbe
Dalles, it 1* figured that the road is
looking over the Eastern Oregon
"cuntri- Laving in view the possibility
of entering that district when It*
other system is completed.

if be l-ehaves himself he will be out
