SUMPTER VALLEY ROAD
WILL BE EXTENDED

Sumpter. Ore.-That the Sumpter
Valley railroad will be extended to
the Thomas ranch, and perhaps to
Susanville, this summer is announced
practically officially. The route will
not be from Austin to Prairie City, as
has been planned for some months,
but will be rown the middle fork Of
the John Day river, a distance Of %
or 23 miles.
The Prairie City route offered
heavy grades, while 1t also offered
perhaps a trlfle more local business.
Down the river, a water grade is Sc
cured, and much of the heavy con-
struction of the other line will be
averted, On both sides Of the John
Day large belts Of timber Will be
tapped, and at Susanville one of the
ore shipping districts of the state CEN
ters. Heretofore mining has been
handicapped largely by lack of trans
portation, the nearest railroad being
at Austin % miles across a rough
country. The proposed construction
will be in Grant county.
