O. R. & N. IMPROVEMENTS.
Projected Work Planned by President
Moliler lo Be Completed.
It transpires on good authority that
the reconstruction plans of the O. R.
& N. Company begun two years ago
by President Mohler and now being
continued by General Manager E. HJ.
Calvin, have been so enlarged as to
Include change of line near Coyote,
where a cut-off will be built which
will reduce the mileage very ma
terially, take out curves, and enable
the management to make a great sav
ing tn time; this cut-off will extend
beyond Umatilla and to a point near
Echo.
Another set of curves will be cut
out just this side of Hood River and
the only obstructing grade out of The
Dulles will be reduced. Ballasting of
the lines Is proceeding with vigor on
the division eust of La Grande, and
new rails will be put In the line where
they have not yet been laid. It Is Mr.
Calvin's Intention to make the main
line between Huntington and Port
land as solid as the main line of the
Pennsylvania railroad,
Most of the track now Is In as good
a condition as any Eastern trunk line.
As fast as the ballasting Is put In it
is lined up evenly so that It presents
the same handsome appearance as an
Ki.slern rondbed. With better track
comes better time for freight and pas
senger trains. . ,'
PRICES AT TANANA.
Cost of Food in Alaskan Camp Was
Very nigh.
The Seattle Star, speaking of the ,
prices of food in the Tanana mining
district of Alaska, says:
. Flour waB 136 per 100 pounds;
dried apples, rice, corn meal, sugar
and lard were 60 cents per pound;
bacon could be procured at the rats
of 86 cents and $1 per pound.
Candles were 126 per box and picks
and shovels were 110 each. Salt was
tl per pound for a time, but some-
one brought In a load, which sold
like hot cakes at 60 cents per pound. .
On- his way down Barber passed
through Nome and said the conditions
there was the reverse. In Nome con
densed milk Is 6 cents per can, maple' '
sugar three pounds for 86 cents. The
storekeepers there desire to sen out
their stock as soon as possible, as
conditions' are very poor.
He estimates that at least 12,000,-.
ono has been taken out of the Tanana
district during the past summer. He
says that the country Is developing
rapidly and this fall people are taking 1
