DdHng the present year a cairipaign of edu'edj tiori. has been waged on this subject, arid when tho measure comes up again next Winter, it will and should be strongly supported.

U. Collvor, olllcmtlng. Tho Great Soiltherrl railroad; known as tlf Dufur roatl) is to bo extended to Tvirh from its present terminus at Dufur, and actual construction will be gin as soon as the contract? can be let. Incorporation papers have been filed and it seems assured that tho brizinal plan df tile company, which was td build the rdad from The Dalles to Tygh, will be parried out at once. There has been milch talk of the extension of the Dufur road to this place, td tap the Central Orexon Country, but no mention of such a ptirpbee is made in the outline df the eoiiinaiiv's present plans, although it is known that W. F. Nelson; one of the promoters of the Oregon Trunk Line up the Deschutes, is also one of the heavy stockholders in the Dufnr road) and from Tygh on down White River to the. Deschutes, where the Oregon Trunk Line survey is completed, is dnly a few miles'. From this fact the proposed extension bi the Great Southern to Tyirh RHina significance! Jtilius L Meier, secretary of the riufiir road, says in an interview published in a Portland paper i "We expect to start on the. Work of grading and laying track as soon as we can let the contract. The sllrveys are all completed and we believe that this ife the best tirrie for us to do the wbrk. The financial troubles of the West arb. gver with arid the Great Southern wilt tap a country tliat Is so rich that it carl afford to laugh at financial troubles. "At present our road is completed to Dufur, a distance of about 40 miles Regular freight and passenger trains are in operation over that much of the road. We want to hurry so that We can get into Tygh by next Fall. Tht Tygh valley is one df the richest In the state and is a country untouched by any other railfbad. "With this. Vast country, enormoiisly rich in grains; wheat and timber, awaiting hs we feel justified in extending the roatl at once." Mr. Meier said that the company had not been able to estimate the cost of the extension, but it would probably repre sent between $400,000 and $500,000. At present the road enjoys excellent traffic arrancements with the 0. R. & N. at The Dallesi and these will be con tinued. Mr. jleler said that although the articles bf incorporation declare the purpose of tho road to build from The Dalles to Sanfrancisco and northward to such a point ill the stato of Washington as may bo selected, no great extension of tho line Ib contemplated this year, farther than that to Tygh, The road lias been surveyed through Oregon to the southern boundary line of tho stato, and as tho country develops the road will be extended.
