I"),) That the Columbia Southern Railroad will be extended from Shaniko to Rend and that work j will he commenced early in next t year is assured. The cont-acts be- j tween President llarriman and ‘ these matters will be settled in a few days and that all plans of the ccmftany relative to the extension may be made public.” Agroaniont->-»C'onstr actio n Soon some matters to be decided upon by myself, relative to the exact route of the extension. I think President K. E. Lytle, of the Co lumbia Southern, have been signed and all agreements have been satis factorily entered into. All that ‘i i now remains is to complete plans for the extension, have the materi al for the road shipped to the con- l struction points, and commence building. Mr. Lytle announces that this will he done just ns soon ns 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 i any disagreements between Mr. \ llarriman and myself. We have made satisfactory concessions, and the contracts signed. “ I cannot say more than this at present, because there yet remain 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.

Now that the agreement between Mr. Harriman and Mr. Lytle have been 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 j Mr. llarriman. In this manner | the money necessary to build 100 miles of road from Shaniko to Rend, will be raised. The esti- I ipated cost of this extension is ♦1,500,000. Several routes have been survey ed between tbe two points to be ¡connected by the extension, ana | tbe oilicials of tbe road are having l some dilliculty in deciding upon the exact route to be «hosen. All oPthem present good possibilities, but lhe question before the railroad people, how to select the best route for the road and for the country that will service. iven railway 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 Rend. The route is a comparatively easy one, and there are but few heavy i grades to be dealt with
