PlaiiH lor the Line Have Keen Made ami Approved, Itut It is Not Yet Known Just When It Will lie Unlit Will lie a Great Improvement vcr the lroscnt Roundabout Line Vu Points W'oxt uf KcJio by Way of Walla Wallu New System Will Have Many Advantage. At last after many years of poor long distance telephone service, It Is practically assured that Pondleton la t be provided with a main line from here to Portland, via Umatilla. This afternoon Manager W. L. Kuhn of the local office, stated to the Kust Orcgoninn thnt he had received notice from the head office to the ef fect that the plans for tho construc tion of a line between Pendleton and Vtmatllla had been approved. Aside from this, nothing further Is known to the local office, and It Is unknown when work will be commenced, or for what the line will be used when com pleted. However, In view of the round about connection at present. It Is the natural supposition that the line to Umntllln Is being built to give Pendle ton connection with Portland nnd other points west, wi1hut having to go via Wnllu Walla, At present there Is no line from here to Umatilla, and nil the long distance tnlklng thnt Is done with Portland, Heppner, Arling ton, The Dalles nnd other tow ns west Is done through the Walla Walla of fice. As a result, there Is much de lay caused In securing the above places, talking Is difficult, and the line being so extended Is more liable to accidents. However, when the new line Is finished all of this will he avoided, and there will then he a di rect line from here to Portland, thus making prompt connection and a vast ly Improved service between here and that place. Also, the new line when finished vlll give Pendleton connection with the small places on the O. R. & N. that are now without telephone con nection, such as Foster.
