following tho completion of the

est is centered at Madras and
Metolius, ho predicts tho Gate
way eventually will be one of the
most flourishing towns ou the
new road.
Culver Junction, too. Is
springing into significance owing
to the fact that it is to bo the
! northern junction of the joint
liue to Uedmond and Pond. The
Deschutes lino will reach Culver
Junction about May 1 or May 10,
and when the last spike is driven
a rousing celebration will be hold.
Citizens of that placo are already
preparing for it.
Although the llarriman road
into Central Oregon is not oper
ating through passenger trair.s.
considerable business for points
on that line is being accommo
dated on the construction trains.
Much freight also is taken south
from the main line and a large
amount is being handled from
the interior to the Columbia
River.
The construction department
has a large force of men at work
!on the Willow Creek pridgo at
Madras and will have the abut
ments completed "in a few
weeks. The steel for this
structure will be hauled on the
company's own tracks and as
soon as this stream is spanned
the road can bo built into Culver
: Junction without further delay.

W, B. Littman of Metolius was
in Prineville Monday on business
connected with the new town. He
says he finds a good deal of uncer
tainty here regarding roads and
accommodations at his place. Peo
ple have nothing to fear on either
score. Large tenta provide good
sleeping accommodations while the
new $15,000 hotel is under con
struction. There is lots of water
and feed for horses and every ef
fort is made to provide for the wel
fare of freighters.
Regarding tne roads, Mr. Lott
man says that all you have to do
is to turn to the left at Boise's
ranch and keep the main road,
then you couldn't miss Metolius if
you tried. Good level road.
A contract has been let for a
big wool warehouse. J. W. Boone
of Prineville is at the head of a
company that will have charge of
it. A wool bailer will be put in
for the accommodation of custom
ers. The warehouse will be built
of corrugated iron and is to be
completed by April 15.
Service on the Deschutes line
of the O.-W. R. & N. Co. to Mad
ras and Metolius will be inaug
urated over the company's own
rails about April 20 and probably
as early as April 10.
The time when traffic will be
opened to those points depends
upon the time the tracks are laid
into them. Until that time the
Harriman line will make no effort
whatever to handle freight or
passenger traffic south of Trout
Creek, its present terminus.
In the meantime, however,
traffic officials are figuring on the
kind of service they will estab
lish, in both freight and pas
senger departments. The sched
ule has not been arranged how
ever, nor has the kind of equip
ment received serious consider
ation.
The tracklaying crews of the
Deschutes line now are working
about half way between Trout
Creek and Madras, near the new
town of Gateway, which prom
ises to become one of the most
important in Central Oregon.
A party of Portland men left
for Gateway to lay out the town
site and to arrange for the erect
ion of a number of buildings, in
cluding probably a hotel, a gen
eral store and some dwellings.
The railroad will put up a first
class passenger depot, ample
freight sheds and a spacious
