THE DUFUR EXTENSION
The Columbia & Great South
ern Railroad, which two years
ago began in a modest way to
build a railroad from The
Dalles to the rich wheat country
lying to the south of that city,
has announced its intention of
extending the line from its
present terminus at Dufur fur
ther into Central Oregon. Build
ing of the road has resulted in
development of new territory
that is now producing a large
traffic, and it also greatly in
creased the profits of the old
producers who fur man' years
were obliged to spend about all
of the profits of their work ixi
getting their crop to market.
This new-line was financed by
Jocal capitalists of Seattle and
Portland, and for that reason
its resources have never been

shovel is at work on one of the
biff cuts near Gresham, this cut
being 24 feet deep and 1500 feet
long. Much of the grade is
already completed, and steel
rails are already ou the ground,
ready to be laid.
The big power plant at Bull
Run is to furnish power for
Portland, and the rush work on
the line between Gresham and
Bull Run is for the purpose of
completing the line that the big
machinery may be taken in.
The character of the work,
which at great expense in con
struction hiis secured an easy
grade up the mountain, is be
lieved to indicate that Bull Run
will not long be the terminus of
the Mount Hood line, and this
view of it is supported by the
fact that last year engineers of
tne Mt. 1100a Jine ran lines
down 'the east side of Mt. Hood
and down the Warmspring
River, wlrile other engineers ol
that company made a recon
noissance through this section.
