DESCHUTES E X T E N S IO N ASSURED. Presidents Harrlman and Lytle Sign o i The inline of which was originally “ The Bend,” received its present name by a change being ordered by the Post- office Department about a year ago. Bogin. (Oregonian Dec. 15,) That the Columbia Southern Railroad will be extended from Shaniko to Bend and that work will he commenced early in next year is ¡insured. The cont-acts be tween President llarriman and President E. K. Lytle, of tho Co lumbia Southern, have been sigued 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 shipped to the con struction points, and commence building. Mr. Lytle announces, that this will he done just as soon as possible. In talking of the mat ter yesterday Mr. Lvtleeaid: “ All doubt is now removed. The road will be built. There are tio longer 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 some 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.” Agreements— Construction Soon Particulars may be had by calling 21 A Lots are being disposed of 4/ S ¥ /» * .

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 Now that the agreement between Mr. Harriman and Mr. Lytle have been made, the bonds will be is sued by the Columbia Southern immediately arid the most, if not all of them will be taken up by Mr. Harriman. In thia manner the money necessary to build 100 miles of road from Shaniko to Bend, will be raised. The esti- j mated cost of this extension is j $1,500,000. Several routes have been survey- \ ad between the two points to be ‘ connected by the extension, and the edicials of the road are having j some difficulty in deciding upon the exact route to be shosen. 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 iven 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 OREGON. the line is completed into Benffi The route is a comparatively easy one, and there are but few heavy grades to be dealt with —i 3
