Easy Grade
to Prineville
There has been much activity
during the recent week, in run
ning mrveys In order to find the
best line tor a railroad to extend
to Prineville and tap the country
beyoud that point.
Engineering camps have been
established in various places
along the lines of survey, and
large engineering parties have
been busily engaged in finding
the most advantageous routes.
An engineering party started
from Culver Junction several
weeks ago, and they have been
working out a line from this
point. They returned Tuesday
evening and report that an ex
cellent grade may be cecured
from this point. The engineer
is now engaged in preparing his
report to be submitted to those
interested in this line. The en
gineer spoke as follows: "For a
preliminary survey this certainly
looks good, and while the survey
has a maximum grade under one
per cent, a final survey will es
tablish a much better grade.
The country on the line of the
survey is fine."
The consideration of the nature
of the country of be traversed is
important. Tne tonnage of tho
Lamonta country will be of large
volume. A large amount of this
territory is now under cultiva
tion and a large number of home
steaders will soon have their
land producing crops. Stock
raising is an important industry
ot this section. A large scope
of country is west of Lamonta
and between that place and
Culver. This territory is very
I productive by reason of the fact
Metolius Ready

Metolius, Ors., March 'JS, 1011.
EniTOK Jol'RNAL
Wool growers snd the people
generally reoiding in the territory
for many miles surrounding Me
tolius will U interested in know
ing that tha work of construction
of a large wool warehouse st Me
tolius has commenced and by the
end ot the present week will be
well under way. The building,
60x150 feet, is conveniently lo
cated on the industry track ot the
Oregon Trunk railway snd easily
accessible from all directions.
Mcdern machinery will be installed
for handling and preparing the
wool for shipment. The building
is so located that additions to the
length ot it may be made as busi
ness requires. The structure will,
ofrour.He.be coml-ted in ample
time to handle the present season's
wool crop ot Central Oregon snd
Metolius will become the trading
point for this entire country, the
wool product ot which amounts to
over 1,000,000 pounds annually.
Tendiug the arrival and instil
lation of machinery in the wellr
owned by the Oregon Trunk Kail
way company and the Inland Em
pire company water is being
hauled from the Deschutes river in
cars by the former company for
use at Metolius and an ahundant
supply is being kept on hand
Water was struck at a depth ol
IRIS feet in the railroad well, whilr
the depth to water in the town
well, dug at a point 40 or 45 feel
higher elevation, is 708 feet, which
indicates that in both wells sheet
water was struck, and insures a
good and permanent water suppl)
for Metolius. lioth compunief
will install 50 horse power engines,
the railroad company's engine ami
boiler being now on tha ground
nd also the latest and most ap
proved pumping machinery, which
baa been shipped from St. Louis
Water from the town well will be
pumped into a 100,000 steel tank
and there will be a lame water
reservoir in addition.
An inspection by the writer of
freight on the railroad platform
revealed the fact that Metolius
now occupies the same position as
did Shaniko for so many years
and is the distributing point for
freight shipments to all interior
points, including Prineville, Red
mond and Bend. This condition
will continue until the bridge
across Crooked river is constructed
and the rails laid to Redmond,
probably July 1. Those engaged
in hauling freight may feel aBsured
of an abundance of water, hay and
feed for their horses and excellent
sleeping and eating facilities lor
themselves at Metolius.
The four lumber yards now have
an abundance of lumber and more
than a dozen business buildings
are in course of construction. The
new bank building is rapidly near
ing completion and W. B. Lolt
man's bank will open for business
in a fw days in a temporary loca
tion adjoining the site of his per
manent building, work on which
will start soon.
Metolius will soon have a news
paper to exploit- its advantages
and tell of its development. M
T. I'ierson arrived last week fiom
North Dakota and will soon com
mence the erection of a two-story
building on the corner of Adams
and Fifth streets which will be the
home of the Metolius Central Ore-gonian.
