but a terrific sand storm finally ob
literated all trace, and, their water
supply having become exhausted,
tho men were compelled to return to
camp. Later they started out again

r I 1 hings have been quiet in rail
road circles the past week,
the center of gravity being East
ern Oregon, in the vicinity of
I lend, in Crook county, where
several surveying crews are at
work. Two crews rccentl3'made
their apjK-arance at Bend and
pitched camp for an indefinate
stay. One of the crews is alleged
to be running out a line for the
extension of the Great Southern,
south from Dufur, which makes
it appear that that road is to be
extended further in the interior
of the state. It is said .that the
Great Southern is a Hill road.
Another crew of surveyors that
is attracting considerable atten
tion is working in the vicinity of
Bend on a route supposed to be
a Harriman project. While it is
not dcfinately known just what
course this line will take from
Bend, it is believed that it will
A'eep on south and meet the N-C-O.
at LaAeview. There is now
very little doubt in the minds of
the people that the Nevada, Cali
fornia & Oregon will be extended
to' Lakcview within the next
year and a half.
