Man's Country.
"What will be the effect upon
Central Oregon of the construction
of railroads?"
Returning Thursday from the
celebration at MadraB over comple
tion of track laying to that point,
this question was propounded to
President John F. Stevens of the
Oregon Trunk line, believed by
many to be the foremost railroad
constructor in the United States,
and at any rate the first engineer
to enter the Deschutes river can
yon determined that through it
should be solved the problem of a
gateway to the vast Central
Oregon empire, says the Portland
Journal.
Mr. Stevens is intensely inter
ested in the development of central
Oregon and iB making it a study
from the viewpoints of the farmer,
the merchant and the manufac
turer as well as from the viewpoint
of the railroad man.
'What will be the effect?" Mr.
Stevens repeated, as he began his
first lengthy interview upon this
question.
"That is a big question. It
brings into consideration many
features that must necessarily
figure prominently in the future,
a future full of promise.
"The new northwest is rapidly
becoming the old northwest. That
part of the United States lying be
tween the Missouri river and the
Pacific ocean has ceased to be
frontier, it is rapidly taking on the
garments of refined civilization
and it is becom'ng what nature'

central Oregon for several reasons,
one of them being the com-

by actual settlers. Much of the
land of value agriculturally has
passed by one means or another
into the hands of private owners,
who are holding it for speculative
purposes, or for stock ranches.
