Neither Mr. O'Brien nor Mr Cotton
had anything to say about the extension
of the Shasta lino from Klamath Falls
onto Bend, to a connection with the
Deschutes road, as outlined by the
above dispatch. The Portland general
office is concerned only with getting the
line built from the Columbia' to Bend,
they said.
, The Deschutes lino will be 130 miles
in length. It is expected that its con
struction wjjj occupy from one year to
a year and a half.
