surance tbat’the long-looked for rail

Oregon Trunk Lays Route
Klamath, Falls, Or., Oct. 7—The
permanent survey of the Oregon
Trunk Line has been completed to
Corral Springs, on the Klamath s'de
of the divide, and within 89 miles of
the city.
Preliminary lines have been run
to Beaver Marsh, a'tout
miles
further south, thus confirming the
impression that the route is to be to
Klamath Falls and nearly the same
as that of the road from Natron.
Two crews are engaged on the sur
vey.
