To the Hon County Court. Umatilla
County, oregon.
In accordance with your instruc.
tions, I have made and completed a
preliminary survey of a proposed
highway from Pendleton to Umatil-
Ia.
From Umatilla to Hermiston a
section Of seven miles, the line lies
closely parallel with the O.-W r. x
N. right of way. and between the
railroad and the Umatilla river. It
passes close by the government dam
at the intake of the West Extension
canal and keeps on the southwest
erly side Of the r. R. until the first
road crossing between the govern
ment drainage canal and Hermiston
is reached, where 1t crosses and then
follows the northeasterly side of the
right of way, entering Hermiston on
Ridgeway avenue.
Between Hermiston and Stanfield,
distance of five miles. the line
leaves Hermiston on Fourth street
and follows the main travelled road
across the government feed canal:
thence it follows the present road
along the telephone line to the
northerly edge of the feed canal
thence along the feed canal to the
present bridge and overhead cross
ing, across the O.-W. R. & N
track; thence on the present gravel
ed road along the south side of the
r, r. and enters StanfieId on Coe
avenue.
Between Stanfield and Echo. dis
tance of six miles, the line runs
south on the extension Of Main street

ing, to the northerly line of the r
R. right Of way; thence along the
r, R. right of way to a present pri-
vate crossing, where an overhead
crossing will be constructed; thence
southerly to the Umatilla river where
a new bridge will be required. The
line then continues south, past
Wards place, through what is
known as the Umatilla Meadows to
the present graveled road: thence foi-
lowing the graveled road into Echo
over the present Main street bridge.
From Echo to Pendleton, a dis
lance of Twenty-Five miles. the route
IS under the Furnish ditch nume and
up the new graveled road running
east out of Echo. The line then fol- [
lows the present Telephone LineI
