Bend Only Temporary
Stopping Place.
The following interview with
the Portland Journal gives Mr.
James J. Hill's views of this
country and his intentions to
ward it as to railroad building:
"We are stopped at Bend for
only a little while. We shall
quickly be pushing on. We have
decided to wait at Bend only
long enough to see in what di
rections the settling up of the
country will be fastest, to see
where the people who homestead
will be most permanent and suc
cessful." This assertion of Mr. Hill has
the highest significance to Cen
tra Oregon people and those in
terested m its development. To
the east and south are the sur
veys into Harney county where
townships have never been
touched by plow, where in 10.000
square miles there are only 5,000
people.
"It will require more than one
railroad to develop Central Ore
gon," said the railroad builder.
"We are prepared to build two
or three more roads very soon.
We will not wait. I have confi
dence and faith in this Oregon
country, 'Within five years the
population of Central Oregon will
be 300,000. Within ten years it
should be more than 1,000,000.
"I have not seen the Harney
country but I will say that it was
the reports concerning the pos
sibilities cf Harney county that
cause mo to decide to build up
the Deschutes canyon. It will
only be a matter of time, and a
very short time at that, until we
extend the railroad into Harney.
One of the greatest regrets I
have in connection with this visit
is that storms kept me from be
ing at Burns and attending the
meeting of the development
hague."
Before he had finished the in
terview Mr. Hill exploded the
belief of many that the Oregon
Trunk will be extended to San
Francisco. "I will not say that
we will not be in San Francisco
in time for theexpnsition in 1915,"
he said with eyes shrewdly
twinkling, "but we will not, go
into San Francisco over the Ore
gon Trunk. It would be foolish
for us to choose the longest and
roughest way to California."
"What is the shortest and
smoothest way?" was asked quick
ly. "There are several possible
ways," Mr. Hill answered eva
sively, "but we built the Oregon
Trunk into Central Oregon for
the development of Central Ore
gon. We built the best possible
track and the best possible road
bed because we believe Central
Oregon development merits the
best.
"I will illustrate our faith in
Oregon. The Great Northern
and the Northern Pacific have
spent 85.000,000 getting to Ore
gon. We have never earned a
dollar on the investment. But
we know we are going to. We
know that the opening of Oregon!
opens millions and mil' ions of
acres to homes and farmers
that is whore the profit will be.
Now we are sending out our men
to learn what are the problems
and difficulties of this country so
that they can help tho people to
be successful working the land.
We are going ahead of tho rest,
willing to do everything possi
ble at no matter what expense,
because we believe in Oregon
and because we believe in Cen
tral Oregon.
"One of the things we will be
most interested in doing will bo
in holding land values down toa
fair valuation. Nothing could
hurt the country more than the
land boomers who dine and sup
on their neighbors. We 1 must
apply the principle that whut is
best for everyone is best for the
individual. Excess land values
w 11 put off the day of Central
Oregon's maximum development.
"Another thing we will be in
terested in doing will be to en
courage subdivision of land. The
man who has 1,000 acres and
sells "00 of it will find his land
remaining worth much more
than all that liu had in tho first
pines. Lot tho people produce
in this country what tho country
is adapted best to; let land values
bo kept reasonable; let tho big
tract! be divided, and we will
do our share in railroad building
and development."
One of the most affecting inci
dents of the day was when Kill
tho elder greeted Colonel William
Hanley. The Hill special and
party had gotten in earlier than
expected. Hanley heard the
engine whistle and hurrioU with
C. C. Chapman to the train.
"Bill," said, a voice from a
passing car. Hanley turned. It
was Hill. The two men's faces
lit up as they shook hands. "I'vo
been waiting a long while for
this day," said Mr. Hanley.
"And I have been planning for it
a long while, Bill," said the em
pire buildor to tho big man of
Harney county.
