18 RAY OF HOPE FOR DESCHUTES ROAD Ballinger Approves Maps for First 40 Miles of Harri man Line. REST IS NOT PASSED ON Const ruction Work on Road Into Central Oregon Cannot Be Vnclcr taken Until Government Acts Vpon Entire Project. Secretary of the Interior Rallincer ha affirmed tile decision of the Commis sioner of the neral . Ind Office, and approved tlio tlrst 40 miles of the pro moted llarriman railroad into Central Orejron. via the Deschutes route. Maps covering the other 9o miles of the pro posed road, are pending before the depart ment officials at Washington for their approval. News of Secretary Ballinger' s tindinps was conveyed to W. w. Cotton Jteneral counsel for the Harrlman lines in this territory, yesterday In. the follow ing telegram from the company's repre sentative at 'Washington: -The. Secretary last night signed the decision promulgated this morning afflrm VXL -om"iIsIoner's decision of March 25, JWS. dismissing the protest of the Ees chutes River Power & Development Com pany, also affirms Commissioner's de cision of July IS. 19.38. recommending for approval the maps of both companies." Approves Both Sets of Maps. The term "both companies." employed In the foregoing dispatch, r$fere to 'the Oregon Trunk Company and the Des chutes Railroad Company, both of which had filed maps of survey with the Interior Department. The decision of the Commis rtonor gave the Deschutes Railroad Com pany, the road proposed by the Harrlman people, a preference right over the Oregon Trunk, but the controversy between the two companies remains to be adjusted claims of private irrigation Interests along the route of the proposed road remain unsettled and It may be necessary to re port to condemnation suits In the courts Anally to determine some of the right-of-way problems which stand in the wav of the construction of the road Into Cen tral Oregon. Only an Opening Wedge. This decision on the part of Secretary Ballinger does not clear the way for the beginning of construction -work by the llarriman people immediately. It Is but the first step which Is necessary if active operations are to be made possible. It t relays only to the first 40 miles of a projected road of 130 miles in length ex tendlr.g from a junction with the Oregon Kallroa-1 & Navigation Company up the Deschutes- to Redmond. It is estimated that the road will cost $4,700,000. Con struction work will not be Inaugurated until the company's maps of survey for the remaining 90 miles of the road, which are. now before the department at Wash ington, have been approved. "This decision disposes of an appeal taken by the Deschutes River Power & Development Company In March. 1905," said Mr. Cotton yesterday, "but, as I read the dispatch, the maps filed by the com pany on the upper Deschutes in the Kali of 1908, have not been acted on. Naturally the question arises, when will the Harri man people begin the construction of a railroad into Central Oregon? I will be Impossible for us to announce our plans or to begin operations until the rights of way involved In the remaining 90 miles of the proposed road have been determined." ADVEItTISIXG BOOK APPEARS Issue Exploiting Medford Is Hand some and Artistic Publication. Of the many advertising pamphlets Is sued by the commercial organizations in fllfferent sections of the state, that Just published by the Medford Commercial Club, in co-operation with the publicity department of the Harrlman system, is entitled to a high place.

A total of 63.500 copies has been printed for distribution. The edition required a carload of paper manufactured to order in rolls 4Ujx55 Inches. The Medford pub lication is .the roost elaborate production In the way of publicity literature that has been issued since Oregon's enterprising cities acquired the advertising habit.

This will consist of a 50.000 edition and promises to eclipse all other book let of its kind. Not less than a dozen artists from as many sections of the coun try are competing for the prize offered for the cover design. This publication is ex pected to appear within a few weeks. PROF. CURTIS' STATEMENT Discussion of Scarlet Fever at Sun nyside School. PORTLAND. Or.. April 22. tTo the Ed itor.) An tnterBtlnB report on matters at t-unnvalrie school appeared In The Orego nlsn of yesterday under title of "Fever floses School." Its general accuracy is about equal to that of some preceding; reports. The following quoted matementr are erro ner.u. and It not corrected, some of the patrons of the school mlKht believe them, to the Injury of the school and Injustice to its management. "Sunnyslde district" Is not "In fear of epidemic." an declared In the headlines of the report mentioned. "City Superintendent Rlgler did not know up to noon yesterday (Tuesday ) that Sun nyslde school had been closed Monday and Tuesday, and seemed surprised wthen in formed that such was the case." As a preliminary comment let It be paid tnat If the formaldehyde for spraying- had been delivered at the school building Fri day nlRht last Instead of Sunday noon, those two valuable days would not have Keen lost. Who informed Mr. Rlgler that the school was closed? His office was noti fied by telephone on both davs before 6 13 A. M.. which fulfilled the requirements 'He has received no report from EX T Curtis, the principal, and In fact the head quarters office of the schools could not locate Professor Curtis vesterUay " ,llld a'd office try to locate him? His address is on record there He was at the school building till tt:30 that day and at home, within hail of his telephone between 11 :40 A. M. and 7:30 P but was not called by the office . "I1 i duty' crding to Superin tendent Rlgler. to report such matters as the closing- of the school." Yes. and many other things of even less consequence. But. did Mr. Rlgler volunteer that reflection? It doesn't sound like him for .his custom has never been to discuss with reporters the delinquencies of trie members of his staff. Our critic seems to be a specialist in his line. 'more or less Informed on the duties of the principal of Sunnyslde school, for whom he reveals an active solicitude. A. reformer should never be too modest, nor leave a generous task unfinished. In this Instance the school au Mtslkia aHjitiia. femva bean nctifltwi liv t.-ii- i ....... vl inn impenCTifin or tnelr execu- oj-icui ana insiruciea tnrougn tne press how to punish now and prevent hereafter such outrageous negligence. The climax follows: "Sunnyslde school haa been closed many times this season, and haa alwavs been closed frequently each year." Said school can hardly be censured for closing -with the others when all the pub lic schools are closed by order of the Board of Directors. Aside from such closings, and these two days. Sunnyslde school has not been closed one hour this school year; neither has It ever been closed frequently in any year under the present principal ship. . r What the sources of our critic's Infor mation may have been, they were not In the school which he patronizes (If we have him located) and which he panes dally wl'hln two blocks on his trips to the West Side. EDW. T CURTIS. Principal Sunnyslde School. It would appear that the principal conten tjon of Professor Curtis is with Superin tendent Rlgler and not with The Oregonlan. It la sufficient to say that the information that The Oregonlan had as to the superintendent's failure to hear from Professor Curtis came from the superintendent. If Sunnyslde School LMstrlct is or has not been in fear of an epidemic of scarlet fever. It Is singu larly insensible to the fact that there were at last reports 17 cases in that district. The Oregonlan Is quite unable to discover from Professor Curtis' statements where Its report was seriously in error. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Ladd Estate Company to Bertbold A.

Jr., of Houston, Texas, which was recently brought to public notice. Tie Is the son of A. R. Hartmann, a steam engineer, who for merly lived at 2019 Hutchlns street. Houston. Texas, but has since removed outside the city limits and lives on one of the rural routes. Regarding his little boy's illness and subsequent recovery, Mr. Hartmann says: "My baby boy was sick for two years. He had an attack of inflamma tion of the stomach and Intestines, and later suffered from indigestion. I con sulted several doctors, but they could prescribe nothing ln the way of food that would agree with him. and al though I spent hundreds of dollars for drugs, tonics, patent foods, etc., there seemed to be no hope of pulling him through. "I was not a believer In advertised remedies, especially for children, but when so many doctors had failed to help him, I decided to try Cooper's New APRIT, 23, 1909.
