PORTLAND, May 15. Slight
prospects are now noen for tho-ime-ccss
ot tho proposed plryi for the
elimination of 100 milc.t of dupli
cated railway along the Deschutes
rlrer. for a railroad extension from
Dend south, making use ot the rail
taken up, and for tho utilization ot
the abandoned roadbed. The move
to effect this change is deadlocked,
with little chance of success, even
though supported by the state Sev
ern merit.
Before the departure of Carl R.
Gray, president of the Union Pacific
system, ho held a conference with
L. C. Oilman, president of the 8.
