THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, TUE5UAY, JUNE 16, .1908. 7 SURVEYORS BUSY NEAR LAKEVI Harriman Making Move Control Gocse Lake Pass, It Is Believed. to WOULD BLOCK GOULD LINE Southeastern Oregon Confident Ac tive Railroad Construction "Will Be Vnder AVay in Very Few Months. L,AKBVIEW Or., June 15. (Special.) At last it seems that Harrlman's $100, fX,000 bond issue will be applied in part toward securing: results from the consid erable outlay of money made in surveys for various railway lines through In terior -Oregon. A number of men are now doing "cross-section" work along the survey extending from the Oregon , line south into California, and there is indication that grading- wm bi-crin alone the east side of Goose Lake Valley this Summer. Between Alturas, in Northern California, and Lakevlew, In Southern Oregon, the survey runs for about 45 miles along- Goose Lake, on the eastern Bide of the valley. For a considerable part of this distance there Is but one good, desirable right of way. The val ley is very narrow along the cast side of the lake, and the hills extend down very near to the natural hay or marsh land bordering the lake. The road that first constructs along the east side will control the best grade into South Central Oregon. Goose Lake Valley Strategic Pass. When the incorporation of a company by Harriman representatives in Califor nia, for the avowed purpose of building a railroad from Anderson, on the main line of the Southern Pacific near Red ding. Cal., to Lakeview, Or., by way of the Pitt River Pass and Goose Lake Val ley, was announced, people of Hastern Oregon placed little faith, in the an nouncement. -Years aro a survey was run through this country and the imme diate construction of a railroad an nounced. Since1 then each subsequent announcement has been considered a further move of the Harriman interests to head off the designs of other railroad ' builders on this territory. But today the Nevada, Callforrfia & Oregon road Is steadily building northward, and will be in Alturas before the end of this Sum-. mer. When Alturas is reached, it is but a short Jump to the southern end of Goose Lake Valley and control of the narrow passes along the east side of the valley between the lake and the moun tains. While the N., C. & O. has been building very slowly, the work has been progressing steadily. If rumors that the Gould interests are behind that little road are true, the action of the Harri man people is readily understood. With the Western Pacific nearing completion, Gould is in a position to throw a large force of men Into the work of extending the .N.t: C. & .O. into Oregon, and have control of the immense traffic of Central Oregon. It would theivbe an easy mat ter to gratify his desire to extend his system into Portland, Or. The fact should not be overlooked that immedi ately following the authorization of the big. bond issue by the Union Pacific at Salt Lake City, a meeting of the stock holders of the Rio Grande, a Gould load, was .held, and the mortgaging of that road for J150.000.000 was ordered. Imme diately caine the incorporation of a Har riman company to build to Lakeview up the east side of Goose Lake. May Mean Gouid-llarrlman AVar. Lake County people rather expect to see a struggle for control of the most desirable riht of way along the east side desirable right of way along the east side erly construction work is believed. Hven though the Harriman interests should construct a short line down the lake, without immediately extending it to the main line in California, the branch line would make possible a con nection with the Gould road, and Lake view people could reach the outside world without a long stage trip. P. A. Worthington, of the Harriman offices in Portland, is In Lakeview now checking up at the United States Land Office the lands crossed by the right-of-way survey made by Harriman during the past two years. Every indication is that at last Harriman actually contem plates opening this rich section that has been completely bottled for so long. Irrigation Companies Active. In arriving at the belief .that construc tion work will begin soon considerable reliance is placed on the judgment of the big land companies that are exploit ing this 'section, surveying for irriga tion systems, etc. More than a year apo the Hewitts, of Tacoma, began purchas ing land in Goose Lake Valley, and had surveys made, plats filed, etc., prepara tory to installing an irrigation system to reclaim the lands so purchased. This Spring the Oregon Land Company, a Kansas City corporation controlled by people who have been reclaiming and colonizing lands In a number of West ern States, bought the holdings of the Oregon Military Land Grant Company. The new owners of this vast tract of 500,000 acres are .planning to place the holdings in Goose Lake Valley under ir rigation ditches. People generally be lieve these vast systems would not be in stalled if the people putting up the funds did not know a railroad would bs con structed. There are no richer lands in Oregon than those in Goose Lake Valley. But without the means of transporting products to market they are valueless, except as a speculation. "BABY BURGLAR".

After being on the wing since the 17th day of last month. one of the carrier pigeons sent out from this city on the steamer Tremont, on the 15th of May, to be liberated at 'Cape Flat tery, returned to its roost in this city Saturday evening.

Fourteen miles through heavy timber, over rugged hills, stony ledges and can yons he carved his way through to the spring waters near the summit of the Simcoes, conducting them through a pipeline Into the city reservoir.

The Coroner's jury, called to investigate the death of Melius Thrasher, 5 years old, who was killed near Eaton station, Friday night, finished its labors today.

ASTORIA, Or., June 15. (Special.) The crowded condition that exists at the Columbia River quarantine station and on board the transport Sherman, on account of the large number of pas sengers held in quarantine, will be materially lessened within the next few days, as Quarantine Officer Holt has received authority from the de partment in Washington to release all those which show a successful vaccina tion or have had smallpox. As stated in these dispatches last night. Colonel Rogers, commanding the troops on board the transport, request ed the War Department to have the Sherman and those on board sent to some other quarantine station, owing to the lack of accommodations for handling so large a crowd here, and to day certain of the department officers recommended that the vessel be or dered to San Francisco, but there is every reason to believe she will re main here until released from quaran tine. Dr. Holt has notified the Surgeon General that the vessel can be han dled satisfactorily at the local station, and as the Marine hospital service is supreme in instances of this kind, the vessel and her passengers will un doubtedly be kept here for treatment. A request will be made to the Depart ment of the Columbia at Vancouver for tents and other equipment necessary to care for the passengers, who are to be kept in quarantine, and the com manding officer at Fort Stevens has received instructions to render Dr. Holt all the assistance in his power. No additional cases or smallpox have occurred among the troops on the transport, and the man who is ill is getting along nicely.

KEPT UP THEE BY ALL NIGHT EXPERIENCE OF . . TWO SPORTSMEN. 'They Looked Real Savage," Re marked One of the Victims in Re. lating Story to His Friends. SEATTLE, Wash., June 15. (Special.) Sitting in a cramped position ail one afternoon and night on the limb of a tree with a big black bear standing guard below, and a friend in another tree a few feet away with a second bear standing guard under him, was the ex perience of R. G. Shrader, a clerk in a real estate office of H. E. Orr & Co., on Saturday. Mr. Shrader and his friend, whose name he declined to give, went fishing in the country near Mount Rainier, and were having fine sport when the two "Teddy" bears appeared . on the scene and put the anglers in their aerial refuge. "The bears looked real savage," said Shrader, "and when they began to growl we lost no time In ascending the tall timbers. The bears were right at out heels until we got to the trees and then they sat down to guard us. Every time we stirred they would growl and so we remained there until Sunday dawned. It was ia lonely night, but we stuck it out. We must have slept, for when light came the bears had disappeared." FARMERS' THREATS DIRE Would Deal Roughly With 3Ien Who Dynamited Irrigation Flume. HOOD RIVER. Or., June 15. (Special.) Further Investigation .by the officers of the Farmers' Irrigating Company today has failed to lead to any definite infor mation that would justify an arrest of the parties suspected of blowing up the flume. They still believe, however, that it Is the work of persons who have an enmity against the company, and state that a previous effort was made to smash the flume by rolling boulders down on it from the hillside. For this reason they think it is the' work of someone living In the neighborhood of the ditch, and are concentrating their efforts there to dis cover some clew that will lead to the arrest of the guilty parties. Among the berrygrowers, most of whom are stockholders in the company, indignation ran high today, and threats of violence' were openly made in case the criminals could be located. The large gangs of men working to re pair the flume are doing their utmost to complete their task by tomorrow night, but it is not expected that growers will get water to the berry fields before Wednesday. Much cooler weather helped very materially to save the situation to day, but should it become hot tomorrow and Wednesday the loss will be heavy. BOOZE AT BARGAIN PRICES Prlneville Saloons Closing Out Wet Goods in Gallon Lots. PRINEVILLE. Or., June 15. Spe cial.) Only 10 more days until Cook County enters the dry column, and liquor dealers have begun to close out their stocks at any old price. It is estimated there are about 800 gallons of liquors yet In the city, mostly whiBky, and ali this will be disposed of before July 1 to those who are in position to buy by the gallon, so that the thirsty citizen will have enough on hand to last him several months. After -at, a conservative estimate of the amount of money that will be sent to Shaniko from Crook County for wet goods places it at between $4000 and $5000 a month. The shaniko city council has wisely declined to issue licenses to any out side saloon men, preferring to divide the business among Its own citizens. Prlneville men who have sought to secure licenses there have met with a blank refusal, the pretext being that the council was afraid Shaniko would vote dry next election if the saloon business was overdone at this time.

STRUCK DOWN BY FIREBUG First Man oil Scene of. Woodland Fire Felled by Blow on Head. WOODLAND, Wash., June 15. (Spe cial.) Further developments in the fire here Saturday morning go to show in cendiarism, but whether by tramps for the chance of loot, or for some personal grievance cannot be said. Ira Hutch Ings, a merchant, was one of the first men on the scene, pulling one of the chemical engines, and as he turned the corner of second street and Davidson avenue to go to the rear of the Forbes & Dion saloon where the fire was start ed some one struck him over the head with some sort of an instrument, in flicting a severe scalp wound and knocking him to the ground. Hutch- ings can give no description of his as sailant. Joseph Dion, the heaviest loser by the fire, will begin the erection of either a brick or concrete building on his lots as soon as he can make the ne cessary arrangements. The others have not decided what they will do as to rebuilding. DRIVES OUT UNDESIRABLES Yakima City Council Issues Strict Order Saloons May Go, Too.. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., June 15. (Special.)

All who have not departed by July 1 are to be arrested and fined every day until they leave. . The restricted district was practically wiped out by the fire of Saturday morn ing and the choice lay between alloting a new location and ridding the city of the undesirables. Such a petition from the W. C. T. U. was sent the Council. In the past the district has contributed in fines an average of $700 a month. An anti-saloon petition, largely signed, ask ing that six months after date all sa loons In the city shall be closed un. was laid over to next week. The saloons contribute $26,000 annually to the city, but the prospects are that they will also go. LA GRANDE TO CELEBRATE Fourth of July Observance Will Be Made Memorable. LA GRANDE, Or., June 15.

HOME RULE FAR DISTANT Wrong Class Seeking Favor in Alas ka, Says Governor Hoggatt. SEATTLE. Wash., June 15. (Spe cial.) "If all the people of Alaska were to ask for territorial government for Alaska it would be impossible to secure the passage of such a law by Congress. The majority of people in Alaska who are talking home rule are the class that want the dance hall dives and open gambling and these people largely rep resent the element that is fighting me." The above Is the opinion of Governor W. B. Hoggatt concerning home rule as he expressed it today on his arrival from Washington. D. C, where he has been spending the Winter. He will sail for Juneau tomorrow. He stated he would take an active part in the campaign for the election of a delegate to Congress from Alaska and would support John Corson.
