HARRIMAN SCOUT
TAKES THE FIELD
Continued from page 1.
looked upon by local railroad men
a3 rather a strong indication that
the proposed line directly across
the state is to be included among
the early construction budgets
of the Union Pacific group.
There have been frequent rumors
that the Harriman interests
might undertake this project
within the next year or two, but
no official statement has been
given out which would indicate
fiat the line would be completed
in much less than thi-ee or four
years.
What gives color to the sug
gestion that the renewed activity
in railroad construction in Ore
gon is an early possibility is the
entirely gratifying manner in
which New York and London in
vestors in railroad securities
r$ grabbed up the recent Union
nf Vinnrls which were over-sub
scribed within a few hours after
they were placed on the market.
The route which will be taken
by Keady in his reconnoitering
expedition will cover first the
proposition of a branch line from
some point on the Deschutes
Railroad, probably Madras to
Prineville. The next proposition
will be in relation to the route
that will be followed from the
present extension of the Oregon
Eastern, now being built about
35 miles south from Natron on
eistward through Crook. Harney
and Malheur counties over to the
Oregon Short Line. This con
necting link in the Harriman
system will be some 250 miles
in length and will cost in the
neighborhood of $15,000,000.
Surveys covering the east-and-west'line
have been made over
several alternate routes by Har
riman engineers for practically
the entire distance, and it is
common report among railroad
people that the plan of crossing
Oregon with this line is to be a
part of the gigantic double-tracking
scheme announced last win
ter by the Union Pacific directors
for this line will be in a sense
parallel the main line of the
O.-W. R. & N. from Portland to
Huntington and Ontario, and
would form as direct a route
from the East to Portland as the
established line, and in some re
pects would present lesser pro
blems of engineering and con
struction than did the original
O. R. & N. line.
Righ-of-Way Expert Keady
has covered his movements with
a great deal of mystery, but ad
vices received here from Seattle,
the Milwaukee headquarters,
hinting that he expected to be
temporarily relieved from duties
with that system to do prelimin
ary work for the Union Pacific in
Central Oregon, have been cor
roborated from confidental sourc
es in Portland, the report being
further strengthened when
Keady started out with his outfit
at 10 o'clock this morning. He
expects to be in the interior for
several weeks before making his
first advance report here follow
ing the opening of the fiscal year
on July 1.
Sanford Family Returning
Mrs. A. C. Sanford and family
are expected home the latter
part of the week from Portland,
where they have been residing
during the past school year,
They will again occupy their
residence which is being made
ready for them by Mr. Sanford
Mr. Sanford is beginning to show
a more cheerful spirit already at
the prospect of having a home
again, while many friends will
also welcome the family back to
Madras.
