RAILROAD IS
INCORPORATED
Capitalized" at $50,000, Most of
Which Wifl Be Tken by
Crook County People
PORTLAND CAPITAL WAKING UP
May Extend a Helping Hand to
Central Oregon in Her Dire
Need of Transportation
58
m
Articles of incorporation of the
Central Oregon Railroad Company
the object of which is to construct
a railroad from Shaniko to Prine
ville and Bend, were filed in the
office of the county clerk this
morning, says the Portland Tele
gram. The company is capital
ized at $50,000, which will be taken
up to a considerable extent by the
people of Crook county, who have
practically decided to build their
own road, because Harriman has
done nothing.
The incorporators are Alfred F.
Biles, F. S. Stanley, Jesse StearnB
and Roscoe Howard.
The route of the new road will
follow the line on which Harriman
promised to build a road when he
took over the Columbia Southern.
Hampered by the lack of an outlet
for their immense resources, the
people have tired of Harriman's
delays and as a result the Central
Oregon Railroad Company was
organized.
"Thia is not a scheme of specu
lation, nor is it a great enterprise,"
said Jesse Stearns. "It is simply
a united effort on the part of the
people of Central Oregon to secure
an outlet for their products. Many
of the farmers who have not the
ready money will contribute grain
and others will give work on the
grading, so that the road may be
built.
"While it is of vast importance
to Central Oregon, it is also highly
important to Portland, so import
ant in fact that the people of Port-
and ought to help in every way
possible to insure the construction
of this road. It wil give a direct
route by rail for the shipment of
Central Oregon produce to the
Portland market. In the mean
time Harriman is apparently try
ing to turn the trade ot uentrai
Oregon to San Francisco. He is
building up from the south, and of
course the trade will go with the
railroad.
"In order that Oregon may have
the full benefit of her own indus
tries, it is necessary that the vast
Central Oregon trade should come
to Portland instead of going to San
Francisco,"
Aside from the irrigation enter
prises now under way in ventral
Oregon, there is a large volume of
produce now grown in Central
Oregon. Last year there was ship
ped from Shaniko 4,000,000 pounds
of wool, to say nothing of wheat
and other grain and timber. All
this produce had to be hauled by
team to Shaniko from points as
far as 150 miles in the interior.
Connecting with the 0, R. & N.
at Biggs, on the Columbia River,
the Columbia Southern extends as
far south as Shaniko.
From Shaniko to Prineville is 65
miles, and from Shaniko to Bend
is about 90 miles. By .constructing
the Central Oregon road south
from Shaniko the rich interior
country will be provided with an
outlet for its products, and will be
given a great impetus in the way
of further development.
It is the purpose of the organ
izers of the new company to push
the work to completion with the
utmost dispatch.
Portland Journal: Over in
Crook county the inhabitants have
reached the stage of desperation
where people get out with picks,
shovels and scrapers and build
their own railroad in order to get
crops to the markets. This is the
