Railroad from Homestead
to Charleston Will Cost
$50, 900 per Mile.
(Lewiston Tribunel

The location OF the O. w R. &
n. line from Homestead to Clarkston
was completed Tuesday, the last party
of surveyors under Engineer Watkins
departing from the city for Salt Lake
last evening. The work was COM
menced last summer at Homestead
by Engineer Wingat, and early in
September Engineer Watkins and par
ty arrived in Lewiston to begin the
location from the Charleston end. La
ter third party, under Engineer Mar
tin, was added to the forces and Mr..
Martin commenced work at a point a
short distance above Pittsburg Land
ing and made the location to within
few miles of Imnaha. Later he To-
Gated ten miles Of the line in the vi
cinity OF the Grand Ronde
The data collected by the engineers
and from which the estimates have
been computed show the average cost
of the line from Homestead to Clarks-
ton, a distance of l20 miles, will lie
approximately $4,000 per mile, or in
the neighborhood Of $10,000,0O0 for
the entire line. There are stretches
where the location is across prodnc-
tive bars where the cost OF construc
ton will be light but in the Imnaha
section and at other points along the
route, where the construction work
will consist of tunnels and cuts
through solid rock, the cost will reach
S2s0,000 per mile.
In the building Of this road the
company will eliminate the difficult
grades of the Blue Mountain division
and will have a line upon which the
cost Of maintenance will be practical
ly nothing, with snow blockades
washouts and landslides unknown
The maximum curvature at any point
is six degrees and the maximum grade
is four-tenths of one per cent The
cost of operation and maintenance
will be so materially decreased tha
the saving will more than offset tn,
interest on the investment and tn,
question of providing a road ovei
which the steadily increasing business
70 the coast can be conveniently anC
economically handled will be solved
In comparing the proposed road will

esny ever the Blue mountains, state
ment is made that three Of the larg
est locomotives are required to TAX,
q train of twenty-five cars over tn,
mountain division while one locomo
tive Of the same type will handle from
90 t@ 80 cars from huntington tC
Portland over the Snake river route
Fhfs item fer reducing the operat
ing expense is but trivial, however
in comparison to the other importan
results attained in the construction o

tural, mineral and timber resources,
which is now non-producing because
of its complete isolation. Wherever
the mountains close in on the river,
rich mineral properties have been de-
veloped to a point Of ore shipping
while large areas of bare lands will
be as productive Of horticultural pro-
ducts as any section Of the river be-
low Lewiston. On the high bench
lands are vast tracts particularly suit
ed to the growing Of grains while
from the Grand Ronde section alone
will come a tonnage practically equal
to the rich Nez Perce and Camas
prairie sections
From the time the work was first
undertaken last fall, the rumor has
been current in engineering circles OF
the Short Line that the construction
work would be inaugurated this spring
and the character Of work demanded
would suggest that the location has
been made with view Of early ac-
tivities. Men have been lowered
over cliffs and bluffs with ropes to
operate their instruments and set the
stakes that will not remain in place
for period exceeding a few weeks
This character of location has re-
tarded the progress Of the survey to
such an extent that for days the large
engineering crews were not able to
complete more than 200 feet of the
line in a day.
The line is located on the Oregon
and Washington side of the river
and will become part of the o. w
R. n system but the work has beer
performed by engineers from the
Salt Lake Office of the Oregon Shori
line. In railroad circles there is :
general belief that the building o.
the Snake river road will result II
simultaneous activity in the con
struction of the Gilmore & Pi.tsbure
down the Salmon river and that from
the mouth of the Salmon river a join
operation arrangement will be effect
ed and the joint line will become F;
part Of the Camas Prairie Railroad
system. This would result in a saving
in construction expense of one hal
for a distance of so miles. much o

The Oregon Short Line will build
big cold storage and ice mauufactur-
ing plant at Namps in the spriHg. IS
the definite information received here
last night from good authority, the
location being between the Y IL the
Junction city. The need OF an ice
plant at Nampa has been apparent for
some time, owing to the number OF
dining cars put on the trains at that
point and also because It IS located
close to the center Of the fruit ship
ping belt of southern Idaho. At
present al ice stored at Nampa comes
from q point on the Montana divi-
sion and the demand Is so heavy there
that the supply Is exhausted early in
the summer and the railroad company
figures 1t will be cheaper TO msnufac-
,ure ice there than to 6il the ice
house at chat point both winter and
summer.
