Oregon Trunk Must Make Showing to Hold Survey Rights in Des chutes Canyon Sidelights on Organization of Road. (Continued from Page 1.) cedure and with the history of the Ore gon Trunk line is that it Is necessary for the road to make a showing at once on construction work or lose the rights it has already gained in the Deschutes Valley. . Rival Surveys Overlap Along the routes of both the Harriman and Porter lines lies considerable Gov ernment land. Last Fall both people had surveying crews in the canyon. Across some of this land the Oregon Trunk se cured the first filings in the Interior De partment, and obtained approval of that' portion of their survey. Across other tracts Harriman won the Government approval. Three surveys conflict in nu merous places, and in one case of con' flict the Oregon Trunk's time to protest against the approval of the Harriman survey expires today. It Is declared here to be the practice of the Interior Depart ment to give little weight to protests of this character unless a showing of good faith in the way of construction work is made. . Hither a sudden decision to contest with Harriman for the traffic of Central Ore gon or the sudden acquisition of knowl edge that the Oregon Trunk would be down and out very soon unless It began construction is believed to be the -cause of the rushing of men into the Deschutes country today. Hill's Hand Seen in Many Places. Either alternative raises conjecture as to whether Porter Bros, are playing a hold-up game on Harriman or are backed by James J. Hill or actually Intend to build a railroad themselves. The his tory of the Oregon Trunk line and the personnel of the men now behind it causes belief here to incline toward the Hill theory- The Oregon Trunk line was originally promoted by Seattle men, headed by W. F. Nelson. It is somewhat of a co- Incidence that R. A. Ballinger once held stock in the company, though this was before he became Commissioner of the General Land Office, pr Secretary of the Interior. Last year Porter Bros, and V. D. WI1 liamson, of Spokane, purchased the Ore gon Trunk. Porter Bros., as is well known, built Hill's North Bank road. Williamson has the record of having built one of Hill's roads into British Columbia. Hill Engineer Employed One of the first acts of the new holders was to employ, as engineer, N. W. Bethel, who was right-of-way man and engineer on the North Bank. Beth el's connection with the North Bank extends back to the days when a rail road down that side of the Columbia River was hoped for more than It was anticipated by the public. It Is now recalled how Mr. tsewei established an office In The Dalles and spent two years quietly securing rights of-way for Hill, between Fasco and Vancouver. In addition there has recently become attached to the Oregon Trunk engin eering corps, T. H. Hanford, who was construction engineer on tne Norm Bank. In additlon-to these straws point ing the direction of the wind, it is stated here that all of the Oregon Trunk's legal business Is transacted by James B. Kerr, of Portland, attorney for the North Bank. So many former Hill men engaged in this new enter prise causes a firm conviction that the orders which reached Porter Bros, on Thursday, morning In Portland came from the Hill headquarters. Crews Not Harrlnian's. During the time that Seattle Interests were promoting the Oregon Trunk line, a survey was made down the Deschutes from Madras. This was before Harriman sought to enter Central Oregon by that route. After Porter Bros. put'Englneer Bethel on the Job the line was relocated along the lower river, so that "better grades were secured. Bethel's parties and Harriman's corps of engineers vied with each other a year ago in locating the first surveys across the Government lands. It docs not now need the statement of Johnston Porter to determine that Har riman has nothing to do with this new movement of camp paraphernalia and construction equipment of The Dalles. Harriman has a siding at Deschutes just built for the unloading of supplies for his construction camps. He controls the Columbia & Southern, paralleling the Deschutes for "0 miles from Biggs, where a connection Is made with the O. R. & N. to Shaniko. He can reach his camps by hauls from railway Btations that are short In comparison with that from The Dalles to the Deschutes River. Porter Bros, are using almost every means of transportation for freight other than Harriman'a railroad supply In the fear that their shipments by rail would be de layed intentionally. ' The Dalles Supply Depot. The Dalles will apparently become the commissary supply depot for the Oregon Trunk camps. Contracts are being now made with local butchers and produce men. Porter Bros, wilf establish larger offices here. They have already brought to town two large automobiles for mak ing quick trips from this city to the Deschutes camps. One of the machines Is brand new. "Of the two railroad surveys up the Deschutes, one will provide about as good grades as the other," said Engineer Bethel thjs afternoon. "There is no rea son why two railroads cannot be built up the river. The stream is shallow in many places and not wide. It is not a difficult feat to bridge it and swing from side to side. There is no need for one road to block another if both are in clined to be decent." " "Then this is not a blocking game, but the commencement of the real construc tion of a railroad?" was asked. Plenty of Room, Bethel Says. "Well, we arc not trying to keep any other railroad out of the Deschutes and the men who employ me think they will build the railroad. However, I have seen many railroads started and aban doned. I was working aletig the line of the Union Pacific's proposed extension from Portland to Puget Sound 19 years ago. The Union Pacific thought it was going to build that road and they spent $3,000,000 and then the work was aban doned." "Do the Oregon Trunk surveys provide for bridging the Columbia?" "So far as I know that matter has never been taken under consideration. As I told Mr. Porter to say last night when he was asked if we would connect up with the North Bank, we might strike tide water at The Dalles," said Mr. Bethel with a laugh. "Perhaps we shall connect with, the O. R. & ,N.," with another smile. "What point do your surveys make tne Southern terminus of tne Oregon Trunk?" Destination in Central Oregon. ."Central Oregon," was the indefinite response. "'Our charter permits us to construct 250 miles of road and extend beyond that if we desire, I believe it is about 380 miles across Oregon, north and south. Central Oregon In Itself Is a country capable of vast development. I believe it will produce traffic sufficient to make a railroad profitable." Throughout the brief conversation. Mr. Bethel was amiable, but apparently tried to make his replies to questions deal only with generalities. In addition to t 'e foregoing he said that at present there were probably 150 men at work for the Oregon Trunk and that the company was looking for more. He would not attempt to estimate how many would be required, but said that the present efforts were directed principally toward getting te camps located and roofs built so that supplies could be taken to them. "We don't want to bring In a lot of men and have no way of feeding them," he concluded. ROAD WILL- COST $5,000,000 Porter Bros. Plan to Complete 110 Miles of Railroad to Madras. SPOKANE, July 24. !'It Is true that we are building a new railroad In Cen tral Oregon." stated R. B. Porter, o Porter Bros., the contractors, to The Chroncile today. "It will be called the Oregon Trunk Line and will run South from The Dalles to Madras, a distance of 122 miles. The Government has ap proved our right of way for 110 miles from Celilo to Madras. "The cost of this 110 miles will be about $5,000,000, and we expect to com plete this part of the track within a year. A line of boats will connect with the road, -running to Portland, and we also expect to run boats to Lewiston Idaho. "Our present plans are only to run South to Madras, but probably in the near future the road will extend fur ther into the interior. "The entire stock of the Oregon Trunk line is owned by Porter Bros, of Spokane and V. D. Williamson of New York. We have nothing whatever to do with the Hill Interests. It is true we are in opposition to Harriman's line, out only as a matter of competition." EDITORS TICKLE TACOMA Tell Inhabitants Mount Rainier Should Be Called "Tacoma." TACOMA, Wash., July 24.

One hundred feet from a blazing campflre, the glare from which it is thought blinded him, John Sanford, of Yacolt, Thursday night at 9 oclock, walking too near a precipice, a short distance below Twin Falls, on the Lewis River, plunged headlong 60 feet to the depths and darkness beneath, and was drowned. The body was re covered the next morning in 40 feet of water, almost directly below the point from where he had fallen. Sanford, In company with c. A. Rhodes, James Kelsey and Frank Lud wig, started out Thursday on a fishing trip. They pitched their tent below Twin Falls and set some fishlines in the river. After supper Sanford left the Ore and walked down toward the river to examine the lines and see if any fish had been caught. In some way he slipped, and as he felt himself falling he called loudly to Ludwlg, who was but 20 feet away, but the latter could not reach him in time to help him. Sanford could not swim, the preci pice was too steep for his companions to descend at that point to his aid, ana in the black darkness nothing could be done. No crV was heard from San ford save just as he was falling over the cliff. He was drowned, as there were no marks on his body where he had struck a rock. Sanford had no known relatives.

' He can go through life minus arms, legs, eyes, ears, hair or any other por tion of his anatomy and live, but he must have teeth or he will die. Teeth prepare the fuel for the human engine and if this fuel is thrown into the firebox, which in this case is the stomach, without preparation and with out being ground up then it is going to put the fire out. You must have teeth. When a man or woman is so unfortu nate as to lose nearly all his or her teeth, because of disease or poor dentis try, it Is time to listen to what we have to say. Delays are dangerous. If the stomach is abused it will not stand the abuse very long. Then comes the worst of all troubles dyRpep5ia. When a man's stomach goes back on him he has lost his best friend. He de serves pity. The whole trouble in nine cases out of ten is that he has not been masticating his food because he has lost his teeth. There are dark days ahead of him, and he must have teeth.
