(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 is assured. The contracts be­
tween President Harriman and
President E. E. Lytle, of the Co­
lumbia Southern, have beet) 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 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. Lytle said: “All
doubt is now removed. The road
will be built. There nre no longer
any disagreements between Mr.
Harriman and myself. We have
made satisfactory concessions, and
the contracts signed.
“I cannot say more than this st
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.

The Oregonian's article printed herewith shows what an intense
interest is being taken in this country by the people of a commer­
cial center like Portland.
This will he—not a mere jumping-off place—but a city in a few
years' time. Possesses all the natural advantages to make it such,

matters to be decided upon
I some
by myself, relative to the exact
I route of the extension. I think
j 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 aud 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
Mr. Harriman. In this manner
the money necessary to build 100
miles of road from Shaniko to
Bend, 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 he
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 beet
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
the line is completed into Bend.
The route is a comparatively easy
one, and there are but few heavy
grades to be dealt with
