"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' Choicest Segregated Lands in Crook County, near Prineville, in Just Under the Cary Act.
