HAS HARRIMAN CHOSEN
m
CORVALLIS & EASTERN ROUTE!
This Is What Albany Newspaper Would Have
Public Believe Other Routes Given Up
tti I
Advices from Albany would eeem
to indicate that the Harriman
extension into central Oregon will
be built from Petroit eastward
across the Cascade mountains, and
thence across the state over the
proposed route of the Corvallis Jt j
Eastern line. This would bring1
the eastern terminal either at On
tario, Ore., or at some point in
northern Nevada where connection
can be had with the Southern Pac
ific main line to Ogden and Salt
Lake City. The whole interior
would be tapped by such a line,
including the counties of Crook,
Lake, Harney and Malheur.
Should the Albany advices, as
contained in the Albany Evening
Herald of September 23, prove to
be correct, no Harriman railroad
will at this time be built up the
Deschutes canyon from the Colum
bia river to Madras; hence, that
town, together with Prineville and
Bend, may have to be content with
branch lines. The Deschutes rente,
tentatively owned by the Porter
Bros., of Spokane and Seattle, Wn.,
would in that case be abandoned
to the Hill interests. If Hill
pushes on and invades this terri
tory, it will mean two through
railroads intersecting each other
in Crook county, but the Harriman
extension will undoubtedly be
built first.
The preliminary survey has been
completed by Harriman's engineers
both a to the Deschutes and the
Corvallis k Eastern routes, as well
as the Columbia Southern south
ward from Shaniko. All the data
.nthered by these three parties of
furvevorsis now in the Harriman
offices at Portland. Inasmuch at
no further work is being done on
either of the routes from' the north,
weight of .evidence rests with the
Albany statement that the C. k E.
is the accepted route.
The Albany Evening Herald of
September 23 says: Armed with
maps, plats and voluminous blue
prints, F. A. Kuckerand J. B. Pope,
contractors and engineers of the
Southern Pacific railroad, left this
morning on a special train over
the Corvallis & Eastern for Detroit
They were accompanied by Mr.
Walsh of the C. & E. They intend
to go over the projected route of
the C. & E. across the mountains
and carefully inspect the line. The
survey recently completed by the
party of engineers over the project
ed route will again be carefully
gone over and further details of
the route planned.
While Messrs. Rucker and Pope
were reticent as to their exact
plans, they intimated that a force
of men would follow them to the
end of the line within a few days
and some construction work would
be done. They refused to say
whether they knew that the work
of extending the line eastward
would commence at once or later
From remarks, however, which
they made it is assumed that some
construction work will be done be
fore winter sets in.
It is believed that early in the
spring active extension operations
from Detroit eastward will start.
That the Southern Pacific officials
have definitely decided to choose
the C. & E. route is now a certain
ty according to the statement of an
official in a position to know.
Ditch Land Tax Case.
Attorney-General Crawford of
the state of Oregon has just gone
back to Salem from The Dalles,
where he appeared for the state in a
case involving the right of Crook
county to assess taxes against land
and ditches constructed under the
provisions of the Carey act for the
reclamation of arid lands.
The Deschutes Irrigation and
Power Company has a contract
with the state whereby it has under
taken to construct ditches for the
irrigation of about 200,000 acres.
The land was originally obtained
by the state from the general gov
ernment on a showing that it had
made arrangements for the con
struction of irrigation works capa
ble of supplying the necessary
amount of water, and after the
plans have received the approval
of the United States reclamation
service. Upon completion of the
contract, title is given to the state,
which afterward grants patents or
deeds to the purchasers. It is thus
contended by the attorney-general
that the canals and lands belong
to the people of Oregon and are
untaxable until such time as they
may be regularly disposed of.
The case arose out of an effort,
as yet not disproved, by the assess
or of Crook ounty to tax ditches,
canals and other irrigation works
as the private property of the
Deschutea company. The latter
enjoined the assessor, and by the
request of the state officers the
attorney-general appeared and pre
sented arguments for the informa
tion of the court.
Dick Vandevert brought to this
office this week some fine speci
mens of Bradshaw plums from his
orchard at Powell Buttes. The
fruit was of standard size and of
excellent flavor. This orchard,
which has been in bearing for a
dozen years or more, has only one
season failed to bear a fair crop of
fruit. Pears, apples, plums and
cherries all grow there, and while
the orchard is only a small one it
furnishes more good fruit than two
average families could use in a
year. Mr. Vandevert's orchard
furnishes good proof of the asser
tion of many old settlers of this
district, that while it could not be
classed as a fruit growing section,
by using care in the selection of
varieties planted plenty of good
fruit for home ubc could be grown.
