The Union Pacific rallioad has de
cided on the extension tills summer of
the eastern Oregon lino to Hurrlman,
In tho Harney valley. This will bo
tho western terminus of the lino. Tho
decision to continue the work was
reported In the Oregonlan last week
In an account of tho various expen
ditures to be made on tho O.-W. H.
& N. system this summer.
Tho Oregonlan said:
"The Central Oregon extonslon,
which has been under way for tho
last four years, Is provided for with
nn appropriation of $920,000. This
work Is under contract to Twohy
Drothors, of Portland. It Is Intend
ed to complete, the lino this year to
Harrlman, n point near Crane Creek
Gap, In tho Harney vnlely. This will
be tho western terminus of tho lino.
"Directors of tho Union Pacific
system intended originally to build
this road, which connects with the
old ltu'o at Vale, on the cast, to Dond,
tho present terminus of the Central
Oregon lino, but they havo concluded
that for tho present thoy will allow
tho terminal to remain at Harrlman.
They are In sympathy, however, with
the project of Robert Strahorn to
connect all existing lines In Central
Oregon. If tho Strahorn enterprise
Is carried to conclusion tho O.-AV. II.
