TIMBERS OF O.-W. R.
& N. TUNNEL BURNED

While fire in timbers of the O.-W.
r.. a N. tunnel between here and Mo-
sier has burned itself out, the terrific
heat left the rock so badly cracked
that it will be completely lined before
trains are operated through the bore.
Crews have been working night and
day building a temporary track around
the tunnel and the O.-W. r. & N.
Co., which had been detouring its
through trains over the S. 2. q S.
line, resumed service Tuesday night
A part of the new track rests on
trestle work over the Columbia river.
The tunnel, it is said. may be shored
up with concrete masonry.
Passengers for through trains of the
0.-W. X. a. N. Co., have been trans
ferred from here by Columbia river
ferry to White Salmon. The rail
blockade has resulted in a great in
crease of passengers for motor buses
operating between here and Portland,
Mondays schedule calling for extra
equipment. The Pendleton local, run
nlng as a stub, has served Hood River.
The fire was discovered about g. 15
O'Clock Saturday afternoon, and the
westbound local was halted just before
reaching the tunnel. Driven by a
strong east wind, the bore acting as a
tlue, the flames spread rapidly and for
time Saturday night the west end of
the tube spouted a column of flame 75
feet high. The heat, as intense as
that Of a blast furnace, prevented
crews from fighting the flames.
The cause of the fire, the damage of
which will reach SO, 600. has not been
determined. II is thought it was set
by a spark from a passing locomotive
or from a grass fire that was burning
near bV.

ROAD BONDS
SELL HIGH
WlTTER & co. GET ISSUE
Trunk Road AppOrtiOnment of $l5O,OOO
Sold for Par and Premium
of S1560

A new record for sale of Oregon
county bonds since the great war be-
| gan was set here Saturday when
/ Blyth, Witter d Co., Of Portland, paid
a premium Of $3.50 and par on a $780,
600 apportionment of the $3.50, 600 issue
voted in June for participation by the
| county on $3.50 basis with the state
/ In construction of the valley trunk of
the Mt. Hood Loop Highway. The
sale is the first of county bonds sold
/ above par in over a year.
The successful bidders competed
with seven other large bond houses,
representatives from all of them being
! present. No bid was for less than par,
and most Of them offered premiums.
The next highest offer was made by
the Western Bond e. Mortgage Co. and
Ladd q Tilton of Portland, who Of
fered a premium of $7l0.
The bonds, bearing six per cent,
will be delivered, in denominations of
$500. half November l. The remain
ing S75, 600 will be delivered not later
than April /, 1922, in denominations
to be determined and at the option of
the county court, which, however,
must give the bond house a notice of
80 days. An approximate $45, 600 of
the issue sold will be needed in paying
for the Booth Hill unit, contract for
grading of which has already been
awarded to Joplin & Eldon and for pur-
chasing rights of way. Local officials
express an eagerness for further early
awards of units of the trunk road, now
that funds are available, in order that
as much as possible of the 206 miles
of grade may be finished this winter.
The $3.50, 600 road bond issue was
based on estimates made early in the
year. Cost of construction, as was
shown the bid of Joplin & Eldon, more
than $40, 600 low on work estimated at
S1S, 900, has materially decreased. If
the rest of the work is secured on the
same proportionate low basis, the
county will have nearly S100, 600 of the
bond issue left.
Local bankers and members of the
county court express qualification at
the bond sale. The figures of other
bidders on the issue were as follows:
Joint bid of Lumbermen's Trust Co.,
Ralph Schnelock Co. and Freeman,
Smith q Camp. of Portland, ST, ,003. 10
on each ST., 900 of bonds; Ferris &
of Spokane, par and an OPP
tion to take the remainder of the issue
at similar figure; Hill & Scritmier
Of Detroit. $50 premium; joint bid by
Detroit Trust Co. and Robertson &
Ewing, premium of Sl35; +. l.. Dever-
eauX, premium of $337; Union Trust
Co., premium of $3.50. and premium of
$7l0 by Western Bond & Mortgage Co.
and Ladd & Tilton.
I. H. Boyd, representative of the
successful bidders was here for the
opening of the bids.
