ROADWAY OPEN IN MEANTIME Renewed Conflict Threatened at Mouth of Canyon. RIVAL GANGS SWAP WATER Peace Reigns for Time In Deschutes Canyon, but Workmen Are Too Close Together to Avoid Future Trouble. BT R. G. CALLVERT. GRAS3 VALLEY. Or., Aug. 3. (Staff Correspondence.) The courts were again resorted to today In the railway war over right of way in the Deschutes canyon, near this place, when the Harriman road secured an Injunction restraining the Ore gon Trunk Line from engaging in work on about seven mites of grade now under construction. The wagon road was open all day. and ten four-mule teams sent out by Twohy Bros, were unmolested in reaching the canyon. .According to Attorney Charles A. Carey, of Portland, representing Porter Bros., who reached Grass Valley today, thsre will be no further disregard of the court's orders, no matter how far from valid Porter Bros." counsel may deem them. The controversy over rights on tiie wagon road and in the canyon will be threshed out In the courts. Conflict Is Threatened. 1 From the vlclnty of Shaniko, however, come reports of Impending conflicts be tween the two railway forces. Both sides have been rushing men in there every day. and each demands risrhts that the otier will not concede. The Harrrmai;' road has acquired what Is knomi as the Dean Smith ranch, occupying strategic positions in the approaches to the canvon. It Is reported here today that one of the Porter Bros." outfits has forced Its , way on the Dean branch, but so far as known here there has been no violence. Porter Brcs. now have their camps in that vicinity, and Twohy Bros, has seven strung along from mile post "5 of their survey to mile post 81 Two more Porter gangs are moving in and are expected to establish camps today. It is under stood here that each side has about 350 men now employed in that locality. Porter on Scene In Person. Johnson Porter arrived in Grass Val ley this afternoon In company with At torney Carey, and was personally served, with the original complaint and lestraln Ing order In the new proceeding which will test the rights of the two railroads In the canyon near here. "1 came here on purpose that they might serve me wjth any papers they nad." said Mr. Porter. "I am not go ing to evade service In any way." Mr. Porter also gave his version of the difficulties in this locality. 'The reason we closed the wagon road." he said, "was because when I first came here ahead of my teams I was Informed by the Harriman people that we could not go down to the river over their road unless we forced our way. I thought It a pretty good way of using force to buy the ranch and cut off their wagon road. The other road has had a big ad vantage over us. also, by having a month's start and by shipping over the railroad. We wanted to offset that ad vantage, and I think we did It." Boast Brought on Trouble. - "It was our Intention to open the wa gon road last Saturday, but they boast ed about how they were going to send their teams through the next day. and we kept the road closed Just for the fun of seeing their teams turn back. "Yesterday we sent a messenger from . The Dalles with Instructions to our men to open the gates. Ves. we expect to con test the Injunctions In the courts; that Is the proper way to settle the matter. TVs believe we will win, but I don't know that we shall lock the gates again. That will depend on whether they try to shut us off the wagon road down the canyon- "A good deal has been said about I our not putting In camps at points where I there were no contests. We had to as- I semble our outfits and get them on the i ground Quickly in order to hold our j rights. We did not dare trust the rail road to get our stuff in. so freighted ( from The Dalles by wagons. It was natural that we should direct our first effort to points where . the oTuer road might try to shut us out. To Avoid Heavy Grade. "As to the mouth of the Deschutes, there is a dam site there 160 teeet high which we don't want to climb over. The Harriman road on the other side of the river Is doing this, but we desire our road to maintain a uniform grade, and that question will be decided by the courts. We are not building a turkey track up the river. "We are now moving several camps Into the canyon about eight miles above j Fherar's Bridge, and have let subcon- ; tracts for this work to Copenhagen Bros, for a distance of i or 10 miles. There Is no conflict there. "We expect to use the railroad for shipment of our supplies and equipment 4CoBclndd em Pas Z.) Son of Rockefeller Rallies Men on Pocantlco Estate to Support School Board.
