In 1917 a final location survey was made from La Grande to Minam, a
distance of 38.28 miles. D. G. Glass, locating engineer for the State
Department, was in charge of the crews. Beginning at La Grande the line
runs through Island City, and Elgin and ends at Minam at the confluence
of the Minam and Wallowa Rivers. Plans for this work are practically
complete. The location from Island City to Elgin is to be reconsidered
with the view of making some changes in the route.
