Union Pacific rail road against the Shaniko branch was made known laet Friday. It denies the railrowd the priv ilege to take up the track be tween Biggs and Kent but gives permission to remove the track between Keat and Shaniko, a dis tance of 17.17 milee. Remaining will be 62.31 mile*. * 1 In addition to abandoponert proceeding the War Production board also filed a requisition for the metal in the line- A hearing was held in The Dal les last September on the aban donment and the requisition mat ter was carried to Washington by the Sherman County Traffic As sociation. The requisition was a- bandoned last November. 1 The abandonment decision ha<t l**en delayed because the com mission asked the railroad com pany to produce figures, show ing the respective income and cost of operation for the differ ent sector« of the line. These showed that the part of the line north of Kent had ««ade a profit of $31.078 in 1937, $23,3791* in 1938, $31,760 in 1939, $12^91 in lMffrtMid 96,110 to the feet aix months of 1942. There would have been a deficit of $1901 In 1941. (tattle wheat wee shipped out in 1941.) The certificate will take effect in 40 day« from the date o f the ICC order, which wa« July 26, 1943.

Of the part of the line to be abandoned 8J0 milee are In Wasco county and 8.18 miles in Sherman county At the aaeaes- ed figure of $9768 per anile this will remove $81,638.24 from the rolls. 1 The concluding summary o f the report states: ‘‘The record herein ■ the conclusion that public need for rail-transportation fac ilities is sufficient to warrant the retention of the portion of the brandh extending southerly from Biggs, through Grass Valley to Kent, which serves praetkalfe all the grain-producing area dapand- ent upon the branch. The evidence is convincing that the enormous volume of wheat produced in that area cannot be handled snoot«s- fuMy by motor trucks and that the grain-growing iateresha of Sherman county would • suffer irreparable injury through kies of the railroad upon which they have depended for many years. In our opinion, the yolum-- of traffic in the territory south of Kent is insufficient to the retention of that porfeou the branch and oontinded op*1» tion thereof would im pos e - an undue and unneoeeeary burden on the applicants and upon inter state couanerte.” aupport’ the vs*rant Caw Calli A vaila flip ^ " ^ Z « r to ^ ic t - is y Ask 15 Billion $309 10.
