these matters will be settled in a
few days and that all plans of the

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.

present, because there yet remain

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.

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
