they will divert it into their own

port and encouragement.
Surveyors are preparing to take
the field next week. It is said
that the old Columbia Southern
extension eurvey, south from
Shaniko to Madras, will be closely
followed in the location of the new
line. The camping pharapher
nalia of the D. I. & P. Co. is being
assembled for the use of the sur
veyors, and all will be in readiness
for the commencement of the eur
vey upon the arrival of the chief
engineer, who will direct the party.
W. A. Wynn, the company's
right of way man, ia busily en
gaged securing contracts for right
of way over the lands through
which it is proposed to build tbe
railroad. It is said that he is
meeting with great success and
that al the land owners along the
proposed line are enthusiastically
granting all reasonable requests
for right of way.
As to the matter of granting the
right of way, the conditions are
set forth in the following form
which is the contract signed by
Ed Hodson of Prineville, who
owns a Tanch in the Lamonta
section.
Right of Wy Contract
"In consideration of the sum of
One Dollar, and other good and
valuable considerations, the under
signed hereby bargains, sells and
conveys unto the Central Oregon
Railroad Company, its successors
and assigns, forever, a strip of land
100 feet in width, for the purpose
of constructing and maintaining
thereon a railroad to be operated
by eteam, electricity or other
motive power, and for constructing
and maintaining telegraph and
telephone poles and lines thereon.
"In case said proposed railroad
shall not be constructed so that
trains will not run into Lamonta
within three (3) years from date of
this contract, then this instrument

In a letter to the people of Crook
County, published in the Madras
Pioneer, General Manager Roscoe
Howard of the D. I. & P. Co., sets
forth the practical workings of the
plan on which the effort will be
made to finance and build the
road. The letter is here given in
full and will be of great interest to
the people of the county:
Mr. Howard' Letter.
"The Central Oregon Railroad
Company has been organized for the
purpose of building a railroad in
Central Oregon. It is proponed to
connect with the Columbia Southern
at Shaniko and build via Madras to
Prineville, Redmond and Beud. If
better connection can be secured
than at Shaniko, it will be taken
advantage of. The Portlaud Cham
ber of Commerce is Interesting tho
business men of Portland iu the
project of a railroad for this country.
Some of the most Influential busl- '
neBS men of Portlaud have been con
sulted and have given assurance that
If liberal support Iu this country
could be given the project the bonds
to complete the road will be sub
scribed In Portland and elsewhere.
In addition to the common stock of
the railroad one million dollars in
7 per cent preferred stock and ono
million bonds will be issued. There
will be no stock or bond bonus given
to anyone. The etock aud bonds
will represent the cost of the roads
and no more. It la proposed that
the preferred stock be subscribed for
in this country. This feature to
gether' with the interest Portland
has In the building of tills road wl't
make the sale of bonds assured.
