Bend subscribes $82,000 for Central Oregon railroad
A Bend meeting raised 820,000 in stock subscriptions for the Central Oregon railroad with Bend business leaders and residents contributing. Including 26,000 from Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company and 25,000 from Central Oregon Development Company, the county may reach its Crook county quota. Several Bend merchants reportedly subscribed as high as 2,000 each. The community aims to fund the line locally rather than wait for Harriman.
