MOVE UNDERWAY FOR PERM |NT ROAD
lFR0M GERMAN HALL TO c. SPRINGS;
. NORTHERN PACIFIC WILL NOT BUILD

Having been unable TO induce the
Northern Pacific to build a branch
line from Myrick station 20 the Hold
man country farmers in the latter sec
tion are now busy with a plan for the
construction OF a permanent road
down 70 Cold Springs landing so that
wheat may be hauled to the river for
shipment Under the scheme as at
present proposed the task OF financ-
ing the improvement will fall chiefly
on the farmers and in part upon the
county. The success Of the venture
will depend upon the willingness Of
the farmers TO stand their part Of the
expense
For many weeks this fall consider
able rub rosa work was done with a
view to getting the Northern Pacific
10 build a branch road from Myrick
down to Holdman. Farmers pledged
themselves. in a tentative way, to bear
a large portion Of the expense. How
ever the Northern Pacific general
superintendent recently informed DR..
d. J. McFaul, one Of the workers for
the road. that no such branch line
can be built by the company until the
European war is ended. So hope Of
relief from the y. p. is regarded as
ended.
Since the refusal OF the Northern
Pacific was received attention has
been turned 10 the subject Of road
to Cold Springs on'the Columbia so as
10 provide connections at that point
with the O.-W. r. & " Co. and the
river. This scheme is said TO be ar
ousing more enthusiasm among the
farmers than did the proposal for the
branch line TO Myrick. Advantages
Of the Cold Springs road scheme are
that such a road would allow grain
10 be hauled on a down grade 20 the
river thus giving the farmers ad-
vantage OF the proposed boat lines as
well as Of the railroad
The distance from Holdman 10 Cold
Springs Is about 10 miles However.
il IL desired to extend the road far
ther than Holdman and German Hail
is suggested as a suitable starting
f'iAt Ani the ipdu. AudN Muuiu pro-
vide a road Is miles in length and
one over which the crop OF a large
section could be moved.

ing the road question up with promi-
nent farmers in the section affected.
Il is known there is much sentiment
for the road.
At the present time farmers in the
Holdman district have to haul wheat
70 Myrick and IL means an expense ,
20 them Of Is cents per bushel II is
estimated that with a good road to
Cold Springs the cost OF the haul
can be much lessened and al the same
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-11-09

time lower freight rates can be Sc
cured.
With an oiled macadamized road TO
the river IL is said the wheat crop
could be moved to the river very
quickly and cheaply by use OF auto
trucks or similar. facilities. II is
pointed out in this connection that in
western oregon. California and some
other sections the auto trucks are
making inroads on steam transporta-
ton lines. The cost OF the macadam
road up Wild Horse is about $4,000
per mile. How much a similar road
would cost TO Cold Springs will be de-
termined by the width and by other
considerations.
