RAY OF HOPE FOR
DESCHUTES ROAD
Ballinger Approves Maps for
First 40 Miles of Harri
man Line.
REST IS NOT PASSED ON
Const ruction Work on Road Into
Central Oregon Cannot Be Vnclcr
taken Until Government Acts
Vpon Entire Project.
Secretary of the Interior Rallincer ha
affirmed tile decision of the Commis
sioner of the neral . Ind Office, and
approved tlio tlrst 40 miles of the pro
moted llarriman railroad into Central
Orejron. via the Deschutes route. Maps
covering the other 9o miles of the pro
posed road, are pending before the depart
ment officials at Washington for their
approval. News of Secretary Ballinger' s
tindinps was conveyed to W. w. Cotton
Jteneral counsel for the Harrlman lines
in this territory, yesterday In. the follow
ing telegram from the company's repre
sentative at 'Washington:
-The. Secretary last night signed the
decision promulgated this morning afflrm
VXL -om"iIsIoner's decision of March 25,
JWS. dismissing the protest of the Ees
chutes River Power & Development Com
pany, also affirms Commissioner's de
cision of July IS. 19.38. recommending for
approval the maps of both companies."
Approves Both Sets of Maps.
The term "both companies." employed
In the foregoing dispatch, r$fere to 'the
Oregon Trunk Company and the Des
chutes Railroad Company, both of which
had filed maps of survey with the Interior
Department. The decision of the Commis
rtonor gave the Deschutes Railroad Com
pany, the road proposed by the Harrlman
people, a preference right over the Oregon
Trunk, but the controversy between the
two companies remains to be adjusted
claims of private irrigation Interests along
the route of the proposed road remain
unsettled and It may be necessary to re
port to condemnation suits In the courts
Anally to determine some of the right-of-way
problems which stand in the wav of
the construction of the road Into Cen
tral Oregon.
Only an Opening Wedge.
This decision on the part of Secretary
Ballinger does not clear the way for the
beginning of construction -work by the
llarriman people immediately. It Is but
the first step which Is necessary if active
operations are to be made possible. It
t relays only to the first 40 miles of a
projected road of 130 miles in length ex
tendlr.g from a junction with the Oregon
Kallroa-1 & Navigation Company up the
Deschutes- to Redmond. It is estimated
that the road will cost $4,700,000. Con
struction work will not be Inaugurated
until the company's maps of survey for
the remaining 90 miles of the road, which
are. now before the department at Wash
ington, have been approved.
"This decision disposes of an appeal
taken by the Deschutes River Power &
Development Company In March. 1905,"
said Mr. Cotton yesterday, "but, as I read
the dispatch, the maps filed by the com
pany on the upper Deschutes in the Kali
of 1908, have not been acted on. Naturally
the question arises, when will the Harri
man people begin the construction of a
railroad into Central Oregon? I will be
Impossible for us to announce our plans or
to begin operations until the rights of
way involved In the remaining 90 miles of
the proposed road have been determined."
ADVEItTISIXG BOOK APPEARS

the cover design. This publication is ex

PROF. CURTIS' STATEMENT
Discussion of Scarlet Fever at Sun
nyside School.
PORTLAND. Or.. April 22. tTo the Ed
itor.) An tnterBtlnB report on matters at
t-unnvalrie school appeared In The Orego
nlsn of yesterday under title of "Fever
floses School." Its general accuracy is about
equal to that of some preceding; reports.
The following quoted matementr are erro
ner.u. and It not corrected, some of the
patrons of the school mlKht believe them,
to the Injury of the school and Injustice to
its management.
"Sunnyslde district" Is not "In fear of
epidemic." an declared In the headlines of
the report mentioned.
"City Superintendent Rlgler did not know
up to noon yesterday (Tuesday ) that Sun
nyslde school had been closed Monday and
Tuesday, and seemed surprised wthen in
formed that such was the case."
As a preliminary comment let It be paid
tnat If the formaldehyde for spraying- had
been delivered at the school building Fri
day nlRht last Instead of Sunday noon,
those two valuable days would not have
Keen lost. Who informed Mr. Rlgler that
the school was closed? His office was noti
fied by telephone on both davs before 6 13
A. M.. which fulfilled the requirements
'He has received no report from EX T
Curtis, the principal, and In fact the head
quarters office of the schools could not
locate Professor Curtis vesterUay "
,llld a'd office try to locate him?
His address is on record there He was
at the school building till tt:30 that day
and at home, within hail of his telephone
between 11 :40 A. M. and 7:30 P but
was not called by the office
. "I1 i duty' crding to Superin
tendent Rlgler. to report such matters as
the closing- of the school."
Yes. and many other things of even less
consequence. But. did Mr. Rlgler volunteer
that reflection? It doesn't sound like him
for .his custom has never been to discuss
with reporters the delinquencies of trie
members of his staff. Our critic seems to
be a specialist in his line. 'more or less
Informed on the duties of the principal of
Sunnyslde school, for whom he reveals an
active solicitude. A. reformer should never
be too modest, nor leave a generous task
unfinished. In this Instance the school au
Mtslkia aHjitiia. femva bean nctifltwi liv t.-ii-
i ....... vl inn impenCTifin or tnelr execu-
oj-icui ana insiruciea tnrougn tne press
how to punish now and prevent hereafter
such outrageous negligence. The climax
follows:
"Sunnyslde school haa been closed many
times this season, and haa alwavs been
closed frequently each year."
Said school can hardly be censured for
closing -with the others when all the pub
lic schools are closed by order of the Board
of Directors. Aside from such closings,
and these two days. Sunnyslde school has
not been closed one hour this school year;
neither has It ever been closed frequently
in any year under the present principal
ship. . r
What the sources of our critic's Infor
mation may have been, they were not In
the school which he patronizes (If we have
him located) and which he panes dally
wl'hln two blocks on his trips to the West
Side.
EDW. T CURTIS.
Principal Sunnyslde School.
It would appear that the principal conten
tjon of Professor Curtis is with Superin
tendent Rlgler and not with The Oregonlan.
It la sufficient to say that the information that
The Oregonlan had as to the superintendent's
failure to hear from Professor Curtis came
from the superintendent. If Sunnyslde
School LMstrlct is or has not been in fear
of an epidemic of scarlet fever. It Is singu
larly insensible to the fact that there were
at last reports 17 cases in that district.
The Oregonlan Is quite unable to discover
from Professor Curtis' statements where Its
report was seriously in error.

, Parents who have weak, puny, delicate
children will be interested ln the story of
little Arthur Hartmann. Jr., of Houston,
Texas, which was recently brought to
public notice. Tie Is the son of A. R.
Hartmann, a steam engineer, who for
merly lived at 2019 Hutchlns street.
Houston. Texas, but has since removed
outside the city limits and lives on one
of the rural routes.
Regarding his little boy's illness and
subsequent recovery, Mr. Hartmann
says: "My baby boy was sick for two
years. He had an attack of inflamma
tion of the stomach and Intestines, and
later suffered from indigestion. I con
sulted several doctors, but they could
prescribe nothing ln the way of food
that would agree with him. and al
though I spent hundreds of dollars for
drugs, tonics, patent foods, etc., there
seemed to be no hope of pulling him
through.
"I was not a believer In advertised
remedies, especially for children, but
when so many doctors had failed to
help him, I decided to try Cooper's New

In this connection, it is said that the
Denny Renton Company, falling in its
efforts to secure the contract, has with
drawn from the field ln a rage, and that
it is refusing to sell , any more vitrified
brick to Portland contractors. As a result
it is difficult for the latter to secure ma

held for finishing up streets where brick
gutters are specified.

Discovery, which had been highly
recommended by responsible persons. I
make no exaggeration when I say his
condition changed for the better the
very first day we gave him the Cooper
medicine, and his rapid improvement
was a delight to see.
"His bowels were thoroughly cleansed,
his appetite, increased. he gained
strength, and soon began to play and
show signs of life and health. We
gave him the New Discovery about ten
weeks, by which time he was entirely
recovered. He is now tliree years old
and weighs forty pounds, or. ln other
words he gained nineteen pounds jwhlle
taking the Cooper medicine.
"We feel deeply grateful for what
Cooper's New Discovery has done for
our little boy in fact. I do not believe
he would have been with us now were
It not for this splendid medicine."
