LOOKS LIKE HILL
IS PREPARING TO
BUILD ON SOUTH
Lifelong Friends of James J. Hill Se
cure Control of Pass by Which
the Valley Can Be
Reached.
'WILL FURNISH WAY FOR ,
i HILL INTO CALIFORNIA
Possible That Short Line May Be
Built and Sold to Highest
Bidder.
niK'O, ('a!., Sept. 18. It has
been learned here that T. It. Walk
er, the Wisconsin lumber millionaire,
who recently purchased land, includ
ing the Frcedonui fms, has obtained
an almost continuous light- of way
from the pass to the Oregon boun
dary line, giving him 000071 of the
railroad situation in thnt section. This
would make it possible for cither the
Hill or Harrimau interests, if repre
sented by Walker, to complete a line
into the Sacramento valley from the
north, with little delay after entering
this state.
It is considered possible that Walk
er will build n short line of his own
through the pass and northward, so
as to corner tho situation, and then
sell out to the highest bidder.'
Walker is u lifelong friend of J.
J. Hill and has been identified with
him in several ventures. It is gen
erally believed that Hill is hack of
Walker and that the purchases made
by Walker were a part of a general
scheme by Hill to, establish-a road
through the Deschutes canyon in Ore
gon, through the marvclously rich, un
developed territory of central Ore
gon, into California to the east of
Mount Shasta, down through the
Freedonia pass into the Sacramento
valley and on to Sun Francisco.
Tho Southern Pacific has niado a
survey that almost parallels tho hold
ings of Walker from tho Oregon state
line to the Freedonia pass nnd there
is, intense interest throughout this
section in the outcome of the situn
tion.

15 MINUTES ARE

Because New Contractor Will Not
Allow Hour arid Quarter for
Noon, Pacific & Eastern
Has Strike.
12 TEAMS LEAVE THE
WORK IN DISGUST
All Laborers Now on P. & E. Will Be
," Imported Ranchers Are
Through.
Because II. X. Randall refused to
allow the men working on the con
Hi ruction hf the Pacific & Eastern
extension one hour and 15 minutes
for noun, twelve irate ranchers who
had teams on the work took them off,
in other words, they struck.
The LTadiiiL' so far on the exten
sion has been done by the ranchers
living near the road. They have
been accustomed to taking 75 minutes
for noon in order to give their teams
a good feed. When Mr. Randall,, for
Portt-r Brothers, took hold he cut
off the 15 minutes nnd in conse
quence the Pacific & Eastern now
lacks graders.
Next week the laborers on the road
will he imported. Teams will proba
bly he imported, as the dcallock be

gives promise of continuing for some

DEER EAT 20-ACRE
APPLE ORCHARD
ASHLAND, Sept. 18. Cpuncilamn
Frank W. Moore returned last week
from his annual trip to Harbor, Cur
ry county, to look after his property
interests. He brought back with him
some fine samples of apples raised
on his farm. A year ago lost spring
Mr. Moore planted 20 acres to New
town nnd Spitzenberg apples, and on
this trip found his young orchard
practically ruined by the deer eating
tho young trees. Deer secure most
of their food from brousing. and the
Newtown nnd Spilzenbergs Mr. Moore
was furnishing had an especially ap
petizing appearance to the fleet-footed
inhabitants of the forest. The
ranch is in charge of his cousin, Mrs.
Carrie P. Gruver, and deer are very
thick in thnt section. Mr. Moore is
determined to have tin orchard on his
farm and has enclosed the place with
a six-foot woven wire fence, which he
believes will keep the deer out ns they
nro unfamiliar with woven wire and
rail fenses look too natural to have
the semblance of n barrier to n deer's
mental- processes. Curry county is
ono of tho most isolntcd sections of
Oregon, but the advent of n railroad
down the const cannot bo put off
much longer, which will bring its mng
nificcnt resources into touch with the
industrial activities of the world.
