INSIDE RAILROAD HISTORY.
Continued from pace 1.
son incorporated the Oregon Ttur.k
L:ne. This took place on February
24, 1000, in Nevada. Under the
provisions of thejN'etala l.w, this
was an incorporation that was
prohibited from doing business in
the state in which it was iucor-1
porated. It was one of the rare'
instances of a corporation being'
brought into existence in which'
the mother disowned its jet un
born child,
"The Oregon Trunk Line never
complied with the laws of this
state, until April 3, 1900. The
survey of the proposed Oregon
Trunk Line was made before this
date, or it was purported to have
been made, but no proper survey
could have been made within the
time allowed, with the engineering
forces in the employ of the concern.
We were asked by the Reclamation
Service to elevate our surveys 100
feet, in accordance with a project
along the Deschutes, and we did
so, and filed the new maps on July
IS, 1908. We were informed that
the right of way maps of both
companies would be approved.
"We were approached by rep
resentatives of Mr. Nelson and got
the option to buy whatever rights
hia company had in Deschutes
ran-nn co nnn -i . :nnnn
of which I should consider was
largely bonus. His concern had
an authorized cubital stock of over
11,000,000, but under the Nevada
law only $1000 need be subscribed
and as a matter of fact only $12,
000 was paid in cash. But the
entire capital stock, under the
Nevada law was considered paid
up.
"In July, 1908, the proposition
was made to us to buy out the
stock of the Oregon Trunk Line,
for $82,000. While we were
much opposed to making this deal
and felt our rights were prior to
those of the Oregon Trunk Line,
neverless, in order to get ahead
with the work, we concluded to
buy and advance for this purpose
some $17,000, but insisted on cer
tain possible stock rights being
cleared up. The Oregon Trunk
Line people were unable to make
deliveries of what they proposed
and in the meantime there has
been newspaper announcements
that Mr. Harriman desired to build

were broken oft' by the Oregon
Trunk Line people.
"On l"eun!er 10 I was told
that all the stock could probably
be acquired for about $olC,CCP. nnd
that to please wire, I never
wired, and the nutter still stands.
"I thought that in fi-htirg the
contest with the Oregon Trunk
Line would result in our tr.:;s be
ing approved so tb.it we would
have a s'.ar.uing i:i cvutt, bi t cone
of our maps have loen approved,
although original maps were C!ed
in 190b Since November, 1908,
our maps have been held up
through the influence of the De
schutes Power and Development
Company, which represented to the
Department of the Interior that
our line should be constructed 100
feet above the water line of the
Deschutes River as far up from
its mouth as Sherar's bridge' a dis
tance of about 40 miles.
"I do not care what the state
does in regard to this amendment,
whether it levies a tax or not, but
I do feel that if the Chamber of
Commerce wants to aid that rail
road construction that e have
been trying to build since l'JOG, I
think you can help.
"Some years ago Mr. Harriman
proposed extending the Columbia
Southern road, but he was advised,
as I have been informed by practi
cal men, that an extention of the
Columbia Southern line was not a
practical route, and I understand
that Mr. Stanley, who is heavily
interested in the country; is of the
opinion that an extention of the
Columbia Southern is not the
proper route to develop the district,
and the Deschutes route is much
to be preferred. I make this state
ment in order that Mr. HarrimanV
action in regard to the matter may
be clearly understood.
"From February, 1906, until the
present time we have bien strug
gling with such a degree of energy
as we have been able to apply to
the task, and our. maps up the
Deschutes have not even been ap
proved, although there is no reason
why they should not be. I would
like your help to get these maps
approved. In addition, if you
want to pass this constitutional
amendment, why, I am perfectly
willing.

vestments on Coas Bay. He told

would guaratttte a return on the
actual Cost of bnildinij a road Into
that region of I or ft pvr cent, 1 am
not certain which it was, he would
build. This seems to me a fair
proposition and for all I know the
offer still stands."
"How can the Chamta'r of Com
merco help?" Mr Cotton was
asked.
"The point at issue before the
Interior Department," he replied,
"seems to be whether the project of
the lVschutes Power & Develop
ment Company is mor impoit nt
than a railroad running up the
IVschutes. The Ii.te.ior Depart
ment is now undecided. I think
that a little bit of push down there
at Vashinrton would help. If the
Governor would take the matter
up when he goes in March, and if
Senator Bourne and the other rep
resentatives would act, 1 am sure it
would help. The Reclamation
luieau had one project near the
mouth of the river and asked us
to change our surveys so us to go
up 50 feet higher. We made this
change in our survey. This is, so
far, the extent of the Reclamation
Service's interest in the matte'."
"Why has Mr. Cotton waited all
this time to tell us the inide
history of this matter and why
should he come here now, when
another matter is up and ask us to
help him?" d-manded A. II
Devers.
Herman Wittenberg contiibutod
to the general unph asantness by
doubting the facts behind Mr.
Cotton's statement. "I honestly
b lieve," . aid he, "khat if Harriman
had wanted those map3 registered
at Washington, they would have
been. I think the question is one
of delay entirely. But I do not
believe we will be sidetracked I
think this Chamber ought to pass
a resolution favoring the amend
ment so that if Mr. Harriman does
not come through, we can go ahead.
We are not anxious to have the
state go into the railroad business,
but we are forced to go into it.
W. F. Nelson, who was men
tioned by Mr. Cotton as being the
man behind the Oregon Trunk
Line, was at the meeting and made
the following statement:
"Mr. Cotton goes into details as
to how his company has been
struggling since 1900 to build this
road into Central Oregon and even
how he had helped to carry down
to the bank on July 21, lUGH, 17,
724 D'J to buy off our coripany.
This was one of the Harriman
bargain days, hence the (J!) cents.
By the way, I held an umbrella
over the money bags on the way to
bank, so the Harriman official
would not faint before he reached
the bank.
"Mr. Cotton, in telling his
troubles, did not tell the other
side. He'says his company started
in lyOG to run a line up the Des
chutes River, but he does not say
how much line they ran. The fact
is they only located 38 miles in
1900, and then quit work until
September, 1903, thinking they
had delivered a solar plexus blow,
while the Oregon Trunk lad lo
cnted about 100 miles in 1900 and
filed its maps.
"Mr. Cotton also attacked the
right of the Oregon Trunk Lino to
dobueinesB in the state of Oregon.)
but at the same time he admits he
offered to pay $94,000 for the Fame
rights and, in fact, they offered
more than twice that amount.
Why should he want to buy at any
price if we had no lights? Why
should we want the Chamber of
Coxm(r:e to help get th'-se worth
less rights out of the way?
"I will tell you why. Because
the Oregon Trunk Line is the only
bonafide corporation in the state
of Oregon headed for Central Ore
gon that is not owned and con
trolled by the Harriman system.
They are also afraid it might be
come a link in some other trans
continental road. Mr. Cotton also
puts great stress on being held up
by water rights. This is all bosh.
The Oregon Trunk Line is not be
ing held up by the watercompariies,
so his company could not be."j
"Another thing. In 1900, when
Mr. O'Brien started in-to survey
up the Deschutes, I asked him il
he wanted to build. He told me
no, they did not, but they did not
want anyone else to build as they
might want to some day.
"I am very glad to see that the
jusiness men of Portland have
their eyes open. This seems to be
one time the Harriman promises
failed to satisfy the demands of
the people. It is a great wonder
that the Harriman system does
not ask the Legislature to pass n
law prohibiting any other company
from building a road In it tt-rri-tory
or the Stale of Oregon.
There is n gnat d.'al more that
initflit be said in behalf of the
Oregon Trunk Line, but I will
leave that for another chapter.

THE DAIRYMAN.
Many farmers nave good cows and
do not know It because they have fed
Just enough to get a poor yield. Io
not condemn the cow until sho has had
an opportunity to show herself on a
few months of liberal fitsllng.
For Swellings on Cows.
An excellent liniment for all kinds of
swellings on dairy cows is well as on
other farm animals Is made of equal
parts -f turpentine, sweet oil and spir
its of camphor. Apply ltl'rally and
frequently to the swollen parts.
Cleaning Dairy Utensils.
Sal soda Is excellent for removing
fat and disease from milk palls, cans
nnd separators, but soap Is best for dirt
alone, t-al soda Is neither poisonous
nor corrosls. Use with water In smull
proportions.
Cheesy Butter.
The cheese tasto of butter Is duo to
lack of thoroughness In washing ami
removing the buttermilk, r.utter will
not keep well If any of tho buttermilk
remains.
Packing the Silage.
Rome men will not let the hired
man work In the ullo at filling time.
They claim that the Importance of
thorough packing la bo great that they
cannot nfford to intrust It to any hired
man. It is true that a slight error or
a Uttlo carelessness Inside tho silo will
make a great difference In the quality
of tho silage that comes out lu the
winter. The air must he completely
excluded if decomposition Is to bo pre
vented, t'nless the fcllngc Is thorough
ly packed around tho edges nnd, In
fact, all through the silo there Is sure
lo be loss.
Improved Butter Making.
An English authority ou butter uiak-In-'
claims that adding one pound of
sat to every gallon of cream immedi
ately nfter It Is taken off the milk olds
In ripening the cream and gives from
13 to 20 per cent more butter-than
cream that has no salt In It. Tho but
termilk Is of course useless, as it can
not be fed to stock when It contains so
much salt, but Its loss is more than
made up by tho largo quantity and
better quality of butter, it Is claimed.
Medicine For the Pigs.
Palulablllty In a ration for hogs Is as
Important us for horses anil cattle.
Change tho hog's feed, occasionally or
give him a little dessert occasionally.
Wood- ashes, salt and charcoal are rel
ished by tho pigs and are good medi
cine. If they have access to a box
of these they will take some every day.
The ashes are good for worms, and
charcoal takes up the acids of tho
stomach in such a way as to be bene
ficial. A little lime In the water, being
careful not to get too much, will be
beneficial as a bone builder. Tho ashes
nnd charcoal will be tho same. Some
people feed a little bone dust. Hut It Is
so much easier to feed what you can
manufacture yourself, like charcoal
and ashes, that one is much moro like
ly to do this than to depend on send
ing off for something. Flnce salt In tho
slop or, if not feeding slop, place In a
box or trough where Ohfc hog can get
nt It.
