Oregon Trunk rail line eyed for central Oregon
Portland bankers and capitalists describe James J Hill as the driving force behind the Deschutes Valley Oregon Trunk plan. They foresee eastward feeders connecting to the north bank line, with irrigation expansion in eastern Oregon and Washington boosting freight and provoking inland railroad growth. The Dalles area surveys signal construction moves through central Oregon, while Hood River fruit reports note Apple and strawberry output, irrigation tips, and orchard care recommendations for the region.
