tension from Tsqulns to Xtwport.
fialem, Or.. 'July 13. Ths Southern
Pacific railroad notified the state pub
lic service commission Wednesday aft
ernoon that It would shortly begin the
work of replacing 60-pound rails on
the Corvallis & Eastern line, from Cor
vallis to Nortons, a distance t 20.6
miles, with 80-pound rails.
Eighty-pound rails were laid from
Taqulna to Nortons, a distance of 35
mlTes, laat year.
The laying of the heavier steel from
Corv0lla to Nortons will leave light
teel only between Corvallis and Kus
sell, a distance of 14 miles.
The commission recommended the re
construction of the entire Corvallis &
Eastern road in April, 1913. Later on
It recommended an extension of the line
from Yaquiiie. to Newport.
This year the Newport Commercial
club urged action toward more recon
struction in the interest of faster and
better train service. The commission
urged the company to act and pointed
out again the feasibility of extending
'tie road fnun Yaqulna to Newport so
that tha boat transfer at Yaqulna would
be unnecessary.
The commission contended that this
- extension could be built along the bay
at a cost of nut mora than $10,000 per
rr.lle. making a total cost of $52,000.
and that the traffic and conditions war
ranted it. ,
No reference to the extension was
niade In tho communication received
Wednesday from thi Southern Pacific.
According to the commission, faster
time will be ponslble when the heavier
rjills are 'laid-from Nortons to Corval-li.
