RAILROAD MEN
IN PRINEVILLE
President of Harriman
System Here.
ON A TRIP OF INSPECTION
Finds Prineville a Moat
Sub-
ttantial Town with a
Great Future.
Judge Lovett, president of the
Harriman railway intereete and
party of ten men. Including J. B.
U Inen, general manager of the
Harriman lines in the northwest
W. W. Cotton, attorney of these
interests; R. P. Miller, traffic man
ager; Engineers Stradley and Buck
and W illiam H. Bancroft, arrived
here Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock
in three big motor cars, having
covered the distance from Silver
Lake in a day, including a short
stop at Bend.
The party left Wednesday
morning for Lebanon, expecting to
make tbe run More night, and
iaae a special train wnicb was
awaiting them for Portland.
Judge 1-ovett said that as he haa
been manager of the Harriman
roads but a short time and is not
as conversant with the needs of tbe
country as be hopes to be, he feels
that any announcement regarding
a line to this place would be pre
mature. He stated, however, that
the purpose of their trip was to see
the country, and see it with a view
to building-railroads at some future
time. He raid in part, "I have
heard a lot aKnt this Central Ore
gon country, and I find it haa not
been over estimated. I have seen
lots of good country and think
there will be a great development
as soon as we get our line com
pleted to Madras, which will be in
the early winter.
Prineville is tbe most solid
town I have seen since leaving the
railroad, and it seems to me that
it surely has a great future."
When told that the Commercial
Club would have given him a ban
quet if his coming had been an
nounced, Mr. Lovett stated that he
was traveling to see the country
and traveling hard, and late hours
were not for him at this time.
Mr. O'Brien said that he realized
the need of rail tranportation for
this country and that there will be
Harriman trains into their station
near Sage Brush springs, a few
miles north of Madras, by Decern
oer 1, it tbe joint track which is
being built by the Oregon Trunk,
is ready by that date.
He says that the work in the
Deschutes canyon has been a long
hard pull and very expensive.

Former Prineville
Pastor in Mexico
Los Erteros, Tamaolipai, Mexico.
July 30, 1910.
To the Crook County Journal:
We are no longer in Arkansaw,
but not because we did not like
that badly misrepresented state,
but because the way opened for us
to return to Mexico as a mission
ary and here we are again in
Mexico.
We closed one of the happiest
pastorates of our life in Little
Rock, Ark., and left there on tbe
21st of July, as the missionary of
the same church for Mexico.
We are in an American colony
here, though there are many Mexi
cans all about us. Our little town
is Columbus, which is on the main
line of the railroad. However, we
have not yet succeeded in getting
a postoffice, hence our present poet
office is Los Esteroe, nearly two
miles away. We are 34 miles
northwest of Tampico.
The lands here are just as rich
in soil as any man can desire. It
is destined within a few years to
become one of the richest countries
in tbe world. The soil and the
climate are here. The Ironical
fruits grow to perfection. The
people are now planting corn and
cotte.- Jfrhttepv large-cot
ton crop and if there is these lands
will advance in price.
I am glad to hear of the rapid
progress and great prosperity in
Crook county, and far be it from
me to disparage that great inland
country, but allow me to eay that
neither in soil nor climate does
Crook county compare with this
country about Tampico in this
gulf coast region. There ia no
question but what this district is
better adapted to oranges than
California or Florida. The Ameri
cans are beginning to put out
groves all over the country.
Tampico is a city full of busi
ness. Here is a great local market
and it is easy to reach the world's
market, for there are some twelve
or fourteen steamship lines from
that port, besides the railroads

WILL RESUME WORK
SOUTH OF BEND
Oregon Trunk to Con
nect with P. & E.
THE GRADE TO MADRAS WILL
B
Fully Completed by Sep
tember 15 Then the
Rails.
. Concerning the future plans of
the Oregon Trunk, especially as to
the construction work of those in
terests in Central Oregon, and con
necting this line through Medford
to the coast.
John F. Stevens, president of
the road, made the following an
nouncement in yesterday's Ore
gonian: In building into Medford, the
Pacific & Eastern, nnw owned by
tbe same interests that are build
ing the Oregon Trunk Line, will be
utilized. The Pacific & Eastern
is now in operation in an easterly
direction from Medford for a dis
tance of 15 miles, and an exten
sion of 16 miles to Butte Falls is
rapidly nearing completion. The
Oregon Trunk is under construc
tion from Celilo to Bend, in
Central Oregon.
Craavf U low Wa af BaaJ.
"It is a part of our general con
struction plans in Oregon to build
the Oregon Trunk railway through
to a connection with the Pacific &
Eastern," said Mr. Stevens. We
would have no use for a short, de
tached railway in Southern Ore
gew; eueba Ui Pacifi fc Eastern.
The Oregon Truck will probably
absorb the Medford railway and
the entire road be known as the
Oregon Tiunk."
Mr. Stevens also stated that
grading is not in progress west of
Butte Falls on the Pacific & East
ern, and that the resumption of
construction south of Bend would
probably begin before further work
was undertaken on the western end
of the route.
Hcaricr Raili Laid.
On the previously built portion
of the Pacific & Eastern erades
have been decreased, curvatures
reduced and new 80-pound jails
laid. Track laying is now in
progress on the new portion of the
road.
On the Oregon Trunk Line the
grade, it is expected, will be fully
completed to Madras by September
15. Between September 1 and
September 5 the car ferry at- the
mouth of the Deschutes, which
will be operated pending the com
pletion of the bridge across the
Columbia at Celilo, will be ready
to begin transporting rails across
the river.
The first 70 miles of grade are
now ready for the rails. One hun
dred miles of sleel are on the way
and there are on hand ties sufficient
to lay 65 miles of track. Track
laying will begin early in Septem
ber, and will proceed probably at
rate of one and one-half miles a
day. The distance to Madras is
about 110 miles, so more than two
months will be consumed in lay
ing rails before the "top of the hill,"
as the Madras country is termed,
will be reached.
Work ia Interior Ruihed.
Grading south of Madras is pro
ceeding rapidly, and it is planned
to have the grade to Crooked river
ready for the rails by the time the
tract is completed to Madras. Steel
will then be hauled in for the big
arch across the Crooked river can
yon and the work pushed on to
ward Bead, where grading also is
in progross.
