6 fflE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND. APRIL 10. 1910. SURVEYORS MOVE IN "SPADE LEAD" Dozen Sturdy "Prospectors" Come to Bend and Make Off Toward Southeast. SPECULATION AGAIN RIFE )'Mhilit, Pointed Out of Koute lie irist Srlct U'iI Other Than the One Niipocl to Have J5ecn Clioscii for Coos Bay lload. by r.Kom;E palm En pctnam. BKXU. jr.. April ( Special.) The latest movf! in tlie Central Oregon rail road game nilgnt wt-ll lt: My led a "spade lead," for laden with that use ful Implement of road making:, a dozen sturdy railroad prospectors put in their uppearancc at Bend yesterday. At their head was K. O. Gentry, who, il is understood, is in the employ of the Oregon Trunk line, hut what their occupa tion, past, present or future, remains one rf th.y nitil t it tidinous unsolved questions of the ltjL-a! railroad guessing world. However, inasmuch as it is known tiinl the party of laborers under the leadership of the engineer have been over the ground of the survey between Rend and Madras, it is generally be lieved t iiat the purpose of the expedi tlon had to dd with investigating the exact ch a ranter of the construction work encountered in this stretch. Eubstant ial foundation for tiiis belief rests iti the announcement made last week In the columns of The Oregonian to the effect that contracts will be let immediately on the work from Madras to Bend. And while tii prospecting party Is chary of any discussion of their intentions, with the usual reticence of railroaders, still further indication that this new move has to do with the com ing contract letting is the recent pres ence in Bend of strangers much inter ested in Hsrerlaining the price of hay and the other necessities of eamp life and eonst met ion work. These in Muiries, it is said, are the SKirmishers fur the contractors, if not for the rail road people, i nte nt on "sizing up" the situation before taking up the work. Surveyors Off to Southwest. The survey party under K. Iv. Ku jiey. whose arrival in Bend was report ed In Jlonday's Oregonian, left yester day for the southeast. While no an nouncement of their destination was forthcoming, it is understood that they v.-ill proceed directly to the vicinity of Burns, in Harney County. Thence, it is said, they will locate the much-discussed eas t and west line back to the roIumbia-Klamath line, joining it at lend. Feasible IXoutcfc Found. White tiie widespread speculation re garding the possibility of a continua tion of such a line to Coos Bay seems ehiefly centered upon a crossing of the Cascades in the vicinity of the Harrl man -Natron - K lamath cutoff, consider able attention is now directed to the posslbll ity of such a move being ac eompllshed nt a. point further north. It Is understood that several feasible routes for getting over into the Wil lamette are to be found near the Three Sisters peaks, west of Bend. The old Oorvallis & Eastern survey . crosses ftlightly to the north of these moun tains. Another route, said to be feas ible, and offering close connection with The Oregon Electrh:, is that gaining ac cess to the headwaters of the Mac Kenzie River. In connection with the possibility of a trans-Cascade route along the line of the C. & K. survey. It 3s interesting to note that the Hill sur x eys in Southeastern Central Oregon "have followed pract lea 11 y the identical route chosen by the old path finding road. Vast Virgin Area Tapped. It is said that should this southeast ern road be built from Bend it would pass through the greatest stretch of -iiu taken Government land left in the 1 "nlted States. The great homestead rush of the last six months, however, is rapidly changing this condition. Xow probably in t lie neighborhood of 300.000 acres or good sagebrush and huuchgrasB lands remain untaken In the district adjacent to the proposed road, should Its building be announced it Is believed that the greatest land rush ever seen in Oregon would result. Those locating on this vast stretch of virgin land predict a marvelous future for It as a w heat -producing area. The noil Is rich. It Is said, and its isolation alone accounts for its neglect. Should this develop Into a second Palouse. as predicted by the experts, an enormous grain tonnage will be built up for tills, the central town for the region, and for I'ortland. Klour millers in "figuring out" the situation on paper declare that the Ieschutes water power will handle the wheat. It leaving the country in fin ished form.

Mr. Cash has held some of the im portant pastorates of the Friends' Church. last February he re signed his pastorate at Paonla, Cal., where the Board of Trade unanimously petitioned him to reconsider his resignation.

BURKE SEEKING PRIMARY Movement for Advisory Vote, How ever, May Kail Jolin L. Wilson Dec la res Ca n d idacy McCrc- die to Be Unopposed. SEATTLE. Wash., -April 9. (Spec ial.) The election of live Supreme Court judges In November will be made the basis of an attempt to force Representative Miles Poindexter, insurgent candidate for the Senate, to a declaration of principles, through the medium of a convention plat form. The outgoing justices are Rudkln and Fullerton, whose terms will expire, and Parker, Morris and Gose, appointees, and their successors must be nominated by the convention method, the selection of Supreme Judges having been elimi nated from the primary law by the last Legislature. Although the state central committee, which will fix the time and place of the state convention, will not meet until April 27. Tacoma Is quietly making an effort to get the convention, and at the same time to force Poindexter to read himself ' out of the Republican party. The latter move is under the direction of National Committeeman R. L. McCor mlck, himself a Senatorial candidate, and It is expected to receive the approval of Senator John L. Wilson, Judge Thomas Burke and Judge John E. Humphries, the three aspirants from King County. Declaration to Be Compelled. At the state convention the delegates from Pierce County and the Southwest will offer for adoption a platform plank specifically indorsing the Roosevelt poli cies and defining Republicanism in the light of recent developments. It is ex pected that Poindexter will not be able to approve the plank, in which event he will have to make some other declara tion of faith. He will be obliged to de clare himself a Republican or quit the party. Two events have transpired this week to crystallise the Senatorial situation one is the decided activity of Burke to force his opponents from King into an advisory primary, and the other is the first open declaration of Wilson that he Is a candidate. " Burke's supporters have secured thousands of signatures but there is considerable doubt as to- the success of the movement. The most frequent objection, is that a signer to the petition binds himself to support the popular nominee, whoever he may bex and this condition is offensive to numerous citi zens, who would like to see King County united on a nominee, provided they could name him. Humphries Not Trading. Humphries has felt himself compelled again to deny that he is willing to trade his Senatorial possibilities for a place on the supreme bench.' He has stated emphatically that he will continue in the contest for Senator; that Burke and Wil son will not be able to eliminate him and then fight it out between them: be sides that, if he should consent to traffic in the offices, no assurance could be given that his opponents could "deliver the goods." Representative Will E. Humphrey seems to have abandoned his idea of running for the Senate. Some of his discerning friends here have advised him to hold off. If he stands for re-election to the lower house, he probably will have an opponent in Ole Hanson, of Seattle, who is sup porting Poindexter for the Senate. - In the Second District It begins to look as If Representative . McCredie, who is understood to have entered into an alli ance with McCormick, will not encounter opposition. Lee Johnson, of Sunnyside. is willing to run for Congress in the Third District He was defeated for the nomination two years ago by Poindexter. Medford May Oet Hospital. MED FORD, Or.. April 9.
