Portage Road Being 1 Built.
W. F. Nelson, of the firm of
Nelson and White, that secured the
contract for construction of the
Portage railroad, was in Portland
yesterday and reports that work is
progressing rapidly toward com
pletion of the transportation line
that will be owned and operated by
the commonwealth to connect the
upper and lower Columbia liver,
and afford outlet by water route
for the products of the Inland Em
pire. Mr. Nelson said:
"Within four or five days the
Celilo incline will be completed,
ready for laying steel on the double
track that extends on piling for a
distance of i.roofeet. Dirt work
for the entire road is more than
half done, and we expect to begin
the laying of steel between March
5 and 10. Steel rails for the road
have been shipped and are some
where between the Missouri river
and Celilo at present. The rails
are of 45 pounds weight, and were
purchased from the Illinois Steel
company.
"I do not think that we will have
any difficulty in completing the
portage railroad as specified in the
contract, May 15, the contract be
ing penalized as a guarantee of
completion by that time. Work
was held up on the lower end of
the road pending the action of tlie
legislature, when it was believed
that an appropriation would be
forthcoming for extension of the
road to The Dalles. We are nowj
going ahead under the original
plans as specified in the contract,
for the construction of the terminal
*t Big Eddy.
"We have been favored with
particularly fine weather for pros

ecuting the work, and a great deal
of dirt is being scraped and has
been already, as I havs stated. No
time will be lost in pushing for
ward the work to completion at the
earliest possible moment.''
Free Trip to Portland.
Indies, would you like to go to
the World's Fair at Portland this
summer without cost to yourself of
one cent of railroad or boat fare,
admission to the grounds or hotel
expenses ? If you would, lend us
your ear for a moment, we are
going to tell you how it can be
done. We are going to furnish
this treat to one young lady this
summer, and in order to find out
which one we are going to let the
people do the choosing. The lady
that gets the largest number of
votes will be the lucky one. Of
course we are not going to do this
just because we have a surplus
amount of cash that we want to
sluff off. Such is not the fact.
We are doing it as a means
of increasing our business. In
fact it is an advertising scheme.
In order to cast a vote for a can
didate the voter must do ten cents
worth of business with this office,
and this is one piace where you can
vote eariy and often without fear of
the officers getting hold of you.
The names of the candidates will
be printed in each issue of the
Daily and Weekly Courier, so you
can keep cases on the game.
Now, you all would like this
trip. It includes railroad or boat
fare going and returning, a weekly
admission to the World's Fair and
hotel expenses for one week. In
fact the winner is to be one of the
uests of the Courier at the fair for
one week. All you have to do is
to hustle and see that your friends
register their votes for you. Each
subscription to the weekly for one
year means fifteen votes, for the
Daily 25 votes. Each dollar for
advertising or job printing means
ten votes.
If you want this trip get out and
do a little missionary work for the
Courier, and your chances are only
limited by your ability to deliver
the goods. Get some friend to
register your name and then go to
it. The first of the month comes
next week, and when we do our
collecting we will register votes if
anyone desires to cast them. Get
out now and fix your fences.
