(Oregonian Dec. 15,)
That the Columbia Southern
Railroad will he extended from
Shaniko to Bend and that work
will be commenced early in next
year ie assured. The contracts be­
tween President Harriman and
President K. E. I.ytle. of the Co­
lumbia Southern, have been signed
and all agreements have been satis­
factorily entered into. All that
now remains is to complete plans
for the extension, have the materi­
al for the road ahipped to the con­
struction points, and commence
building. Mr. Lytle announces j
that this will he done just as soon
as possible. In talking of the mat­
ter yesterday Mr. Lytle said : •‘All!
doubt is now removed. The road
will be built. There are no longer
any disagreements between Mr. 1
Harriman and myself. We have
made satisfactory concessions, and
the contracts signed.
“I cannot say more than this at
present, because there yet remain

This will be— not a mere jumping-off place— but a city in a few
years’ time.
Possesses all the natural advantages to make it such,
timber, water power, irrigated land, etc.
Send in your order for a lot at once to the
Deschutes Townsite Co
OREGON.
Now that the agreement between
Mr. Harriman and Mr. Lytle have
been made, the bonds will he 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 neceesary to build 100
miles of road frem Shaniko to
Bend, will be raised. The esti­
mated cost of this extension is
if 1,500,000.
Several routes have been survey­
ed between tbe 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 chosen. All
| of them present good possibilities,
1 but the question before the railroad
people,
how to «elect the best
route for tbe road and for the
country that will be given railway
service.
It is expected that dirt will fly
on the grade lor the extension next
j spring. Work will then be pushed
with all the speed possible until
the line is completed into Bend.
The route is a comparatively easy
l one, and there are but few heavy
1 grades to be dealt with
