BEND, Jane 7. Robert E. Strahorn
has withdrawn his offer to start con
struction of the Oregon, California
Eastern railway, out of Bead this sum
mer if the city will vote $100,000 la aid
of the project Inaction oa the part of
the city aa to the offer, changed finan
cial conditions and an unwillingness to
stir up a controversy Involving local In
tereats are the reasons for the with
drawal. That it is final for thia year 1
Indicated by the fact that a reoueat
from the dlrectora of the Commercial
Club that tbe matter be held open until
June 16th has mtv wlta Vpeltiv--TV
fuaal.
That the construction will be under
taken at a later time la Indicated by
Mr. Strahorn, whether In 1918 or after,
depending on financial conditions and
a local agreement la favor of the pro
ject. The letter of withdrawal waa re
ceived aome time ago by the directors,
Feeling that local objection to the pro
ject might be removed, Mr, Strahorn
was asked to hold the withdrawal Inop
erative until June 16th, to give time for
that purpose. Tuesday, however, hla
reply was received Indicating that It la
final.
Mr. Strahorn made his proposal to
the people of Bead last March to the
effect that If Bead would put up $100,-
000 he would begin construction of the
road oat of Bend thla summer, and
guarantee forty mllea of track built to
