This was boforo Harrlraan sought to enter Central Oregon by that routo After Porter Bros, put Engineer Bethel on tho job tho line was relocated along tho lower river, so that better grades wore secured. Bethel's parties and Harrlman's corps of engineers vied with each other over a year In locating tho flret sur veys across tho government lands. It does not now need the statement of Johnston Porter to determine that Harrlman has nothing to do with the new movemont ot camp par phernalla and construction equipment to Tho Dalles. Harrlman has a siding at Deschutes Just built for tho unloading ot sup plies for his construction camps. Ho controlo tho Columbia & Southorn, paralleling tho Deschutes for 70 miles from Biggs, whoro a connection Is mado with tho O. R. & N. to Bhan Iko.

"Thero Is no reason why two rail roads cannot bo built up tho river. Tho stroam Is shallow In many placos nnd not wldo. It Is not a difficult feat to brldgo It and swing from side to side. Tlioro Is no need for ono toad to block nnothor If both are In clined to bo decent." "Then this Is not a blocking gamo, but tho commoncomont ot tho real construction of n railroad?" was asked. "Woll, wju nro not trying to keep any othor railroad out of tho Des chutes nnd tho moil who employ mo think thoy will build this railroad. Howovor, I have noon many railroads started and nbandonod. I was work ing along tho lino of tho Union Pa cific's proposed oxtonslon from Port land to Pit got sound 19 years age: Tho Union Pacific thought It wns go ing to build thnt rond nnd they spent $3,000,000 nnd then tho work wns abandoned." "Do tho Orogon Trunk surveys pro vide for bridging tho Columbia?" "So far as I know thnt matter has never been taken uudor consideration b I told Mr. Portor to say last night when ho wns asked If wo would con nect up with tho North Hank, wo might strike tide witter at The Dalles," said Mr. Bethel with a laugh. "Perhaps wo shall connect with tho O. It. & N.." with another smile. "What point do your survoyh mnko tho southern terminus of the Oregon Trunk?" "Ceutrnl Orogon," wns tho Indefi nite response. "Our chartor pormlts us to construct 2G0 miles of road nnd extend beyond that If we desire; I hellovo fti Is nbnut 380 miles across Orogon, north nnd south. Central Orogon In Itself Is u country capable of vast development. I believe It will produce traffic sufficient to mnko u railroad profitable." Throughout the brief conversation Mr. Bethel was amiable, but appar ently tried to make his replies to quostlons deal only with generalities. In addition to the foregoing he said nt present there woro probably 150 mon at work for tho Orogon Trunk nnd thnt tho company was looking for moro. Ho would not attempt to estimate how many would bo re quired, but said that the presont ef forts woro dtroctcd principally to ward gottlng tho camps located nnd roofs built so thnt supplies could bo taken to thorn.
