mile Of track in place. The engineer
in charge of the machine was quite
badly scalded few days ago and this
delayed the track laying operations
but today the work was resumed with
a rush and within a few days the first
nine mile section of the road will be
completed.
From all the construction camps
engaged on the road come reports
that the work is now being rushed
along most satisfactorily. A large
amount of the work embraces heavy
rock cuts. 1t is explained that at many
points the cuts could nave been
avoided, but that in the double track
plans of the interested roads the
heavy work would ultimately have to
be handled and that it was deemed
better to do it at the outset. This ex-
PLANTATION would indicate that the sec
ond track, which will ultimately be
built the entire distance from Lewis
ton to Riparia, is to be located to the
river side of the present line.

W. 8 c. R. may BRANCH OUT
LINE TO START AT HELIX AND
RUN TO PRINEVILLE,
OREGON.

According to a report that comes
from Echo, Ore, there are rumors Of a
railroad being built through Echo, the
route having been surveyed some
time ago by the Washington & Column
bia River Railroad company The line
starts near Helix, or a few miles south
of that town.
Taking this as a starting point, the
route runs along Stage gulch and
city through a ravine near the Echo
Touring MILL Leaving Echo it takes a
westerly course to the mouth of Will
low creek, near Rhea siding on the
Heppner branch. The line from Echo
to this place is almost water grade
and will make a good roadbed for a
railroad. From here the route follows
up Eight Mile canyon to the neighbor-
hood of Gooseberry postoffice. This
point is only about ten miles from the
Heppner coal mines. Leaving Goose
berry postoffice the line passes
through a low saddle to Rock creek,
and following the last-named stream
to a point directly north of Lone Rock
where a natural pass through the Blue
mountains is formed. Thence across
to the South Fork Of the John Day
river, near Spray. The road passes
creek, which flows into the same, and
follows up the last-named creek to a
point near it's source. Leaving this
stream the line takes westerly
course into Prineville.

Before Mr.. Earling returns again the

North Bank Road Officials EnC0unt.
er Numerous Difficulties.
BIG PRICE ASKED FOR R|GHT-oF-WAY
Work is Being Prosecuted, However,
BY the Contractors, Along the
North Bank.

The attempt to retard the progress
of building the north bank railroad Is
being developed at almost every step.
Baked by the condemnation proceed
ing commenced by the Portland &
Seattle railroad to obtain possession
of the Moore and Warner properties
near Bingen, the o. R. & N. has caused
the promoters of the Hill road to run
against another obstacle in their at
tempt to cross the White Salmon
river.
The land on either side Of this river
for a distance Of about $50 feet Is
owned by the Menominee Lumber COM
pany. which. when the road was first
projected, put a price on 1t Of $17,0OO.
This the north bank people were pre-
pared to pay The proposition also In
cluded the removal of a lumber chute
which the company has at Hood River
to get its logs to their mill on the
other side of the river, along the o.
R. & N. tracks.
The timber supply on the Washing
ton side contributory to the chute Is
said to be about exhausted and the mill
was about to be moved. 1t now de-
velops that the lumber company wants
no less than $4,000 for this land along
the river.
1t is said that the o. r. & N. Co. is
behind the lumber company in this
move. and it is expected that this one
point of vantage will be contested
very bitterly. The north bank will have
to bridge the stream, but before it can
do so the land on each side Of it must
be obtained. Two attorneys and an
engineer from Tacoma looked this
ground over a few days ago and took
photographs and measurements OF 1t,
presumably with the intention Of TAX
ing the matter into court.
Railroad men conversant with the
situation, who do not want to be quot
ed, say that portions of the right OF
way secured by the Wallula Pacific
from the defunct Columbia valley rail-
road. and controlled, it is said, by the
Hartman lines, are held for the pur-
pose of forcing the Hill road to grant
trackage concessions to it's rival from
Portland into Seattle.
In the meantime there is no let-up
in pushing the work Of construction,
and the road has 5000 men employed
on the section being built from Lyle to
Arlington, who are working day and
night. An order was issued this week
to put night gangs at work all along
the line as fast as men can be secured.
