Several months ago thorn wns talk
of building n railroad from Salom

Cascarto mountains to Bend. Thin
lino was surveyed ns far ns Stnyton
somo tlmo ngo. Recently n survey
ing party has boon active In tho

It has survoyod n lino from Stnyton

Into 'Linn county, running through
Lyons nnd up Fox valley nud then
turning onstward nliout flvo miles
Houth of tho Albany-Hoover branch
