An Electric Railroad
to Sisters Soon
That an electric railroad it going
to be built from Redmond westward
to the timber belt at Sisters and on
westward over the mountains to
Jefferson City on the Oregon Elec
tric in the Willamette valley and
that It will be the first branch road
to be built In Centra) Oregon Is the
opinion of I. W. Gray, agent for the
Oregon & Western Colonization Co.
who returned from Portland and
Seattle Tuesday. The company
which Mr. Gray represents Is con
trolled by the Hill interests. It
wns a large body of lands twtween
Redmond and Sisters which will be
traversed by the new road. The
right of way for the entire road
has been quietly secured, according
to a statement from Mr. Gray pub'
Imbed in the Oregon Journal. He
said:
"The right of way has already
been Beeurcd. Much of it lies across
the lands of the military road grant
already owned by the Hill interests.
As surveyed the road will be about
fifty miles long and crosses the
mountains through a very narrow
pass. The power will be secured
from Cline Falls on the Deschutes
west of Redmond. There Is a 00-
foot fall and the power that will be
generated there, engineers estimate,
will equal the power from the Spo
kane falls."
Mr. Gray attended the national
convention of Dunkards at Seattle
last week and interested the dele
gates in a move to establish a Dunk
ard colony In Central Oregon. He
secured the names of about eight
hundred fumilies from among these
thrifty, honest and prosperous peo
ple. Those ' interested are mostly
young people In search of new
homes in the west. Mr. Gray ex
pressed great pleasure at the suc
cess and probable final result of his
visit to Seattle. -Oreiton Hub.

Bend People Want
to Form New County
Uend, Or., July 13 Following
the lead of the north end of Crook
county, which is about to petition
the county court for a vote on the
question of the formation of Jef
ferson county out of their section of
Crook, the residents of this section
now plan to cut off the southwest
ern portion to form Deschutes coun
ty. At a meeting of the local com
mercial club on Saturday it was
unanimously voted to circulate the
petition and a committee was tp
pointed to do the work.
Those who are taking the most
interest In the movement point out
that the present Crook county, with
its large area and lack of transpor
tation facilities, is more extensive
to run than smaller counties would
be and that the diverse Interests of
the different sections tend to local
jealousies and prevent needed im
provements.
The new Deschutes county, ac
cording to the lines proposed, will
have an area of over 1,000,000
acres and an assessed valuation of
nearly l5.000.0tK). The jetition will
be voted on at the general election
In November, and if successful the
permanent county will be voted on
in 1916.
