The Prosser Record published a
rsrlfw of railroad operation! In east

Interest:
The North Bank railway, or the
Portland and Seattle, la nearly com
pleted. This line la described by ex
pert railroad men as having the beet
readber in the country with the eas
iest grades, Wren A Oreenough,
contractors, are finishing their con
tract, which Include the first If
tnlles of road from Kennewlck west,
and as fast as their gangs of men
get through they are sent over to the
Snake river road. They still bare
about 400 men employed on the
work.
Wren A Oreenough have had one
of the hardest con tracts on the en
tire line. There Is a tunnel 710 feet
long opposite Umatilla, which had to
be drilled out of the solid rock, and
a rock cut known as "Mickey Burg,"
at, four miles below Hover. Is about
three-quarters of a mile long. From
this about 16,000 square yards of
rock were taken. The cut was com
pleted about the first of April.
There Is still another cut, IJ miles
to the west, about completed, from
Which 30,000 yards of rook were ex
cavated. Double tracks have been
laid for 18 miles down the valley from
Kennewlck, and the slnglo track al
ready built extends down to Camp
Myers, division headquarters, . about
seven miles below Hover.
In order to lay rails to the grade
already completed "shoo-fly" tracks
were laid around the rock cuts.
These tracks will be taken np as
soon as the rock work is finished and
tbe permanent track will then be
laid. Tbe road is completed for a
hundred miles below the long tun
nel and only awaits the lowing of
steel. Tbe bulk of the work yet un
finished Is at The Dalles.
It wll ltake until fall for that to
be finished, and by that time the

for hurlness. The line above The
