What appears to bc reliable in formation regarding tho starling of nctunl building on the road up the Malheur and across the state wttH obtained Tuesday through tho visit hero of G. W. Buck, assistant to Chief Engineer Coch ran, of tho O. W. R. & N. Com pnny. Mr. Buck came here to meet Mr. Str'adley of the Short Line and arrange somo details and he also had two contractors with him who will bid on the construc tion of tho line. Mr. Buck will be in Ontario nbout the last of June and make a trip over tho line west from Ontario with Ontario with con tractors. It will bo very awk ward for the O. W. R. & N. to do this work while tho track from Ontario is the property of the Short Line nnd an announce ment that it has been taken over by the Oregon Division can bo looked for at any time. The lino, from Nyssa south is being graded rapidly and there are Boveral hundred men laying tracks on the line out of Cald well. There is also some talk that the Alormans are arranging to colonize the Quinn river valley in Nevada, which is a long dis tance from rails. In the s.ime section is the Pueblo valley which is very productive when water can bc obtained. The development of theso two val leys would bo an incentive for a line from Caldwell to Winnemuc ca, and the advantages in tho way of connections to tho west and south are sufficient to war rant a belief that this line will bo undertaken in the near future.- Ontario Argus.
