STEVENS MAKES
ANOTHER COUP
Wizard May Not Get
Through Segregation
SURVEY HAS VALUABLE POINTS
Harriman People Thought They
Would Get Central Oregon's
Rights for Nothing
The Portland Journal sijs that
"The moet Important move since
the purchase of the Oregon, Trunk
Line by J. F. Stevens Is the purchase
of the Central Oregon railroad
'which has a survey running from
Shaniko to Redmond and which
was consummated by the Hill repre
sentative Monday.
Thts line owns a survey running
from Shaniko in Waeo county to
Prlneville, Bend and Redmond, most
of which survey has been definitely
located. The Central Oregon filed
its maps for that portion of Its line
running through public lands with
the secretary of the Interior last Oc
tober and a portion of the line has
already been approved by the secre
tary. Other maps of survey have
been filed with the land department
but have not yet been approved.
By the arrangement made the en
tire capital of the Central Oregon
railway is acquired by the Hill Inter
ests and a contract has been entered
Into with the Deschutes Irrigation &
Power company and the persons in
terested In that company's Irriga
tion project by which rights of way
for the projected railroad lines are
turned over to the Central Oregon
Railroad company, a suitable ar
rangement having been made whtre-
by the canals and ditches built, and
to be built, In connection with the
Irrigation system will lie protected
where they are crossed by the rail
road lines.
The Hill Interests represented by
the Porter Brothers have etarted in
actual construction work on the line
of the Central Oregon from Madras
south. Several camps have been es
tablished by the Porter Brothers.
An election of oflicers for the new !
Hill link in the Central Oregon chain
was held. V. I. Williamson, presi
dent of the Oregon Trunk, was elect
ed president; Jnckson Smith,
Steven' right hand man. vice
president, and C. H. Carey, secre
tary.
Jackson Smith, the newly el.'cted
vice-president, ,1s to have active
charge of the construction of the
Central Oregon. He is one the most
successful railroad builders In" the
country and has built some of the
most dlllicult lines In this country
and foreign countries. The ofliees of
the Ceutral Oregon will be In the
new Henry building, as will those of
the Oregon Trunk.
The Important feature of this new
acquisition of Hills' Is that it com
mands practically the only feasible
route from Madras south to Red
mond. The crux of the situatiou on
this Hue is at Crooked river crossing,
where the survey of the Central Ore
gon crosses the canyon of Crooked
river at the narrowest point In that
part of the country. At this cross
ing the rocks jut out in a promon
tory which makes the bridging of:
the 173 foot canyon a comparatively
Inexpensive and easy matter.
It is at this point that the nest
clash between the Hill and Harri
man forces will probably oceur. A
telegram received this morning by j
Roseoe Howard, genernl manager,
of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power
company states that a Harriman
construction crew left Shaniko Mon
day and expects to begin work on
the Harriman right of wny there at
once.
The .Central Oregon survey, It Is
claimed, has the priority over that
of the Deschutes Railroad company,
inasmuch as maps for that portion
of the line were filed by the Central
Oregon In Octolier, l'JOS, and were
not filed by the Harriman lines until
the following February.
The surveys come together nt the
Crooked river crossing. This cross
ing is so narrow that it affords
room for only one track, It Is said,
and inasmuch as it is not a canyon
nor a narrow defile, it is not believed
that it can come In under the enn
yon act and that Harriman will be
able to force the use of it.
Another advantage gained by Hill
in securing tho Oregon Central in
that it gives him an Oregon In
corporationthe lack of which the
Harriman legal forces have been
claiming as grounds why he should
lie evicted from (Vntral Oregon rail
road building. The fact that
Stevens has determined to retain the
corporate name of the Central Ore
gon shows that he is alive to this ad
vantage and intends to make the
most of it.
Even more important than this,
however. Is the fact that the Hill In
terests have secured n right of way
from the lVschute Irrigation &
Power Company across their segre
gation. This Is something that It is
exceedingly doubtful If the Harriman
line will lie able to force. The lands
are owned jointly by the lVschute
Irrigation & Power Company, by
the government and by the state.
The railroad might condemn the
corporation's Interest, but It could
not condemn the government's, nor
the state's, and the task of securing
a right of wny over this part of the
route is apt to prove a hard nut for
the Harriman legal forces to crack.
That the Harriman . people have
awakened In the last minute to the
advantage of the Central Oregon's
position seems probable. The fact
that this railroad was offered them
several times by Its Incorporators
will not luerease the plensure the
Harriman people will feel In learn
ing that It has been snatched up by
Hill. It seems to lie the old story of
the Astoria & Columbia River rail
road and the Oregon Trunk line
over again.
The advantage they would have
secured In buying this right of way
not only would have nssured ih m
the ensv crossing of Crooked river
and n ilht of a. through the
Carey act project around Rend, but
would have prevented their rivals
from securing the advantage of the
new corporation and the friendHliip
of the Irrigation company that Is de
veloping Crook comity. It is sn:d
that the Harriman officials execte.l
the incorporators of the Central Ore
gon railroad, who are the men In
terested in the Deschutes Irrigation
& P.ower company, to turn over to
them without churge their survey
and right of way.
John F. Stevens, who Is In genernl
charge of the Hill construction work
in Central Oregon, said today con
cerning the purchase of the Central
Oregon from Fred Stanley mid his
associates:
"The Oregon Trunk line has pur
chased the entire capital stock of the
Central Oregon railroad and now
owns all of the charter privileges, In
cluding the right of wny and all
other projierty of the latter com
pany. "The Oregon Trunk line will use
such parts of the right of way and
privileges of the Central Oregon as it
may deem necesary for the con
struction of its line of railroad south
of Madras, Its construction forces
are already on the ground and are
at work at several points south of
Madras."
