Deschutes, Oregon
The name of which was originally “The Bend,” received its
present name by a change being ordered by the Post-
office Department about a year ago.
The Deschutes Townsite Company is now offering
(Oregonian Dec. 15,)
That the Columbia Southern
Railroad will be extended from
LO TS A T $ 1 0 0 and U P W A R D S
Shaniko to llend and that work C H O IC E

8omi matters to be decided upon
by myself, relative to the exact
route of the extension. I think
these matters will be settled in a
few days and that all plans of the
company relative to the extension
may be made public.”
Now that the agreement between
Mr. Harriman and Mr. Lytle have
b'een made, the bonds will be is
sued by the Columbia Southern
immediately and the most, if not
all of them will be taken up by
Mr. Harriman. In this manner
the money necessary to build 100
miles of road from Shaniko to
Beud, will be raised. The esti
mated cost of this extension is
* 1,500,000.
Several routes have been survey
ed between the two points to be
connected by the extension, and
the officials of the road are having
some difficulty in deciding upon
the exact route to be ehosen. All
of them present good possibilities,
! but the question before the railroad
people,
how to select the best
route for the road and for the
country that will be given railway
service.
It is expected that dirt will fly
on the grade for the extension next
spring. Work will then be pushed
with all the speed possible until
the line is completed into Bend.
The route is a comparatively easy
one, and there are but few heavy
grades to be dealt with
