New Railroad In Uilllam.
Arlington. May 10. A party of 10
men, under the direction of J. Q. Jamie
eon, the well-known railroad d'il engi
neer, commenced yesterday to make the
survey for a railroad, which is tu begin
ntthis place and run south through
Gilliam county by wy of Olex and Con
don. Beyond these points no information
Can be gained as to the route or dentin -
tiou of this proposed lailroad, fo- the en
gineers are as reticent as Mich men usu
ally are. The engineers begau tbeir sur
vey just west of the O. R. & N. Com
pany's depot, and ran south through tho
west part of town, passing uear tho
Schoolhousc. They hayo established
tbeir camp on ibo Condon stage road,
five miles south of this place. Their
vouchers for supplies are made out -to
tho Oregon Southern Railway Company
which is nil that is known here as to the
name and organization of the company.
The route the engineers have selected
oilers uo serious topographical difficul
ties to tho construction of a railroad and
passing through one ol the best farming
and eto.k regions of Eastern Oregon
make it reasonably certain that tho road
will be built in the near future.
