BY GEORGE PALMER PCTNAM.
SHANIKO. Or.. Aug. 15. (Special.)
Yesterday the first steel laid on any
right-of-way into Central Oregon was put
in p'.aee on the semi-completed roadbed
Ju-t constructed by the Porter Brothers,
immediately below the Dean Ranch. The
rails in question are, to be sure, but the
lightest of affairs, for use In construc
tion work, their ties are little more than
saplings, and the roadbed, though prac
tically completed below them, does not
extend at that point for more than a
hundred yards. But real rails and rea!
curs thev are. and operating upon a road
bed which has every appearance both of
reality and permanence, facts which can
scarcely fail to gladden the heart of the
exptant Central Orcgonlan. and per
haps even dampen the ardor of the skep
tics. ,
Although for the present the recent in
junction has caused the cessation of
work on the part of the Harriman forces
wherever the two surveys conflict, thus
reducing the apparent activity, the
amount of work that is actually being
accomplished, and the results the work
ers have to show, is almost startling In
dimensions. Such is the feeling that re
sults from Inspection of the southerly
section of the field of operations, whose
remoteness seems to have caused a par
tial lack of attention.
Construction Well Vnder Way.
In the 12-mlle stretch commencing two
miles south of the influx of Warm
Springs River and extending down stream
some three miles below the Dean ranch,
the visible results of the recent work
seem to offer ocular proof, and that of a
very convincing nature, of the sincerity of
the constructionists in their oft-repeated
statements that railroads will now at last
go up the Deschutes. The bald facts of
the case are these:
In tills stretch there are three Porter
camps filled to their utmost capacity, and
promise of others as Boon as equipment
can oo taken In. and the same number of
Twohy camps, though one of these haB
been shut down since the Injunction, and
the others recommenced work only yes
terday. At the urper end of the section
in question are two short pieces of Porter
roadbed filled In above the river from it
steep hillside, each measuring approxi
mately a quarter of a mile, and being
In a 6tate of practical completion. Just
below fhese Is a half mile or more of
wagon road constructed on the hillsides"
above the present county road, whicn
follows close to the stream, and is in
cluded ir. the railroad surveys, and will
bt destroyed in the course ot their con
struction, and which was put in by th
Twohys at the beginning of operations
and is now being pushed to completion by
the Porters, whose men went to work
upon it yesterday. Descending the river,
there next comes 1YiO feet of wagon road,
the work of the Porters, which coincides
with the railroad survey and is prac
tically a semi-completion of the same, as
all that mtisf be done to bring the pres
ent road up to the required level is to
'shoot' down the steep upper walls at
the side and then level off the resulting
slides to the proper height; It 'Is, to all
purposes, a road half built. Below fhls
road, which gives access to both Porter
and Twohy camps, is the Brown ranch,
where Twohys have a camp, are at pres
ent working and have -completed about a
half mile of four to six-foot fills and
one to four-foot cuts. Immediately ad
joining this to the south is the Dean
ranch, now Harriman property, irpon
which, as no conflict occurs, the Twohys
are extending an already completed
eighth of a mile of fill and clearing fur
ther right-of-way.
Tearing Away Hillsides.
Across the Dean ranch, between ths
Hsrriman survey and the bluffs, runs the
Porter right-of-way. ana straggling alom;
It. In a distressingly dusty plowed field. Is
. their camp, so situated because all sur
rounding hnd Is in the hands of their
rival3. The most advanced work of all
Is in the three and a half miles down the
river from this Porter camp, where more
than half the distance Is either occupied
bv hlf completed grades. In all perhaps
half a nr.lle of made roadbed Is complcteo
in this 12-mlle stretch.
The river at points below the Dean
ranch has "railroad" written most sub
stantially upon Its eastern bank: the
cliffs are scarred and the hillsides
spilled off Into the water or down upon
the flats; some 200 men are scattered
along the base of the bluffs, above the
river, busy with phovels, picks, drills and
wheelbarrows, reducing a long-untamed
nature to meet the requirements of the
surveyor's edicts, and when to the gen
eral appearance of activity Is added the
presence of the few small cars and the
stretch of miniature railroad, the last
convincing touch is given.
"It may be a bluff." said one, who,
like a good Slissourian. had come to see,
"but if it Is lt certainly bluffing on a
tremendous scale."
Baker A Randall, who figured exten
sively In North Bank construction work,
and. curiously enough, are both brothers-in-law
of the Porters, are the contractors
for this upper 12-mile section. They are
expecting c shipment of four carloads of
equipment, left by them In Grand Falls,
Mont., where they last worked. If all
goes woll the 12 miles under their care
will be completed In five or six months,
according to Mr. Randall. Two four
horse teams of dynamite are already
stored at the camp, and a carload of
black powder Is now on the road, as
wen an ,a Petely yard and a half cars.
The entire herd of cattle on the U'Ren
ranch, eight miles distant. where Is
stored. temporarily, equipment for
further camps, has been secured for the
commissaries of the Porters.
Work Destroyed by Rivals.
The controversy and work at cross
P'jrposes which has characterized the
first stage of the struggle for railroad
npremapy In this upper section of the
?anron has already entailed an absolute
loss of or more.. This Is reckoned
along the lines of useless construction,
and takes no note of the legal and other
costs involved, referring only to the cost
if work done for nothing, or for which
there is now nothing to show, thanks to
ts undolag at the hands of the opposing
Tactions. ,
A consphuous instance illustrating the
course of action, and one whloh has not
previously came- Us light ocdurred at a
hillside fill at a point almost directly
opposite the iiflow of the Warn Springs
River. Ts cws of "5" men each were

tens being four feet higher than the
other. As quickly as the . Porter men
shoveled the steep hillside down to the
level indicated by their grade stakes, the
Twohy laborers, working a few feet be
low, moved the earth still further down
ward, until the four feet lower level of
their survey was reached. This might
have lasted Indefinitely had not the
activities of the upper workers dislodged
boulders which rolled down upon the
others, threatening disaster. Therefore a
flank movement was executed, the
Twohy men taking higher positions and
the tables being reversed, ks regarded
the boulder-rolling.
The Porters claim that their rights are
prior to their rivals, and that the latter
will be forced by the courts to give way.
while the Harriman men on the field are
equally confident that the reverse will be
the case. It is the Porter contention that
the readiest and probably only relief for
the situation is that the Harriman road
takes to the opposite side of the canyon.
In this upper stretch of river their con
tention that the two sides are equally
feasible for building seems substantiated
by the facts, at least so far as laymen's
observation Is concerned, for there seems
little to choose bet ween, the two.
Yesterday Johnson Porter, the member
of the firm In the field, secured right of
way for the Oregon Trunk through the
ranch of W. W. Brown, adjoining the
Dean ranch, which Is practically iLhe last
point where rights have been unsecured.
The consideration involved was $4,900.
The Harriman line has right of way over
the ranch a short distance back from the
river, and it now appears that its pur
chasing agents attempted to secure a
tenth of an acre lying between their sur
vey and the river. As the Oregon trunk
must pass between the other line and the
Deschutes, it is maintained that the in
tention of this purchase was to prevent
passage over It by the other railroad.
However, Mr. Brown refused to sell and
now Tins two railroads across his ranch,
thus far exceedingly profitable Invest
ments. "If you see a man in Shaniko," said an
Oregon Trunk right of way agent, "who
is particularly well dressed and exhibits
lots of dog and has money to spend,
you can be sure he owned land in the
Deschutes Canyon. We know."
Easily the most important addition to
the Porter forces in the canyon was yes
terday's arrival the "Dago King." He is
not a contractor nor cne of the myster
ious men behind which the public is
dally expecting to see, but a bulldog, the
widely known and beloved pet of Tony
ScarpelH. the Italian "hero of the gate,"
who, with one "on either hand" guarded
the Gurty gate against hostile invasion,
a la Horatio at the bridge. Besides being
a hero, he is one of the most important
of the contractors on the work.
The "King" was shipped us all the way
from Spokane, that he might share the
fortunes of his master on the Deschutes.
His entrance into his new kingdom was
In the nature of a triumph, for many of
the Italians have worked for Scarpelli at
various times and come to know his dog,
so that when he made his appearance his
admirers offered an ovation so enthusias
tic that it threatened a temporary aban
donment of work. Henceforth, the
"King" is the official mascot of the
Italian forces under the Porters.

was killed In an automobile accident
six miles west of Chehalis late this af
ternoon. Mr. Emmett was driving the
machine at the time. ' The auto be

Last night the Emmetts, their son
and 6-year-old daughter and Mr. Em

Salem, Or., stopped over here to visit
Mr. and Mrs. Farnsworth, being rela
tives of the latter. Today Mr. Farns
worth took his guests for a ride up the
Chehalis Valley. Mr. Emmett. who is
an inexperienced driver, took charge
of the machine part of the way, and on
the return from Adna, on the south
side of the Chehalis River, the accident
occurred while approaching a slight
grade to cross a small bridge over a
gully about four feet deep. Mr. Em
mett put down his foot to change the
gear of the machine, but got his foot
on the wrong pedal, and the mistake
confused him so that the machine was
steered off the bridge through the
railing on the side.
The boy was thrown out and fell
under the machine, which crushed out
his life, and he died within five min

party who was hurt was Mr. Emmett's
mother, whose arm was badly fractured
in two places.
Mr. Emmett, his wife and little girl
leave tonight on a late train with the
body of the boy for Amity, Or., where
the child will be buried. Mrs. J. P.
Emmett will remain in a local hospital
while her arm is being cared for.

State and then to extend his road into
California is apparent. By the construc
tion of a bridge across the Columbia at
the mouth of the Deschutes, connections
can be made with the North Bank, in
which Hill personally owns a majority
of the stock. This connection would give
the Central Oregon road an outlet at the
north over the North Bank to Portland
and to Spokane, and from the latter point
to the East over the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific.
During his quiet Investigation of the
last two months, Stevens is known to
have visited personally every section of
Central and Southeastern Oregon. In
conducting this Inquiry, Stevens' success
fully concealed his identity. He arrived
in cnrii.tid shoot .Tuna 22. shortly after

Construction of a lateral line from
some point in Central Oregon Into the
Coos Bay country is also included
among the possibilities of the Hill in
vasion of Oregon. Returning from his
trip through Central Oregon, Stevens
also spent considerable time in the
Coos Bay district, which Is regarded as
an attractive field for building a rail
road. Included In the announcement of Mr.
Stevens Is one statement which is be
lieved to be particularly significant.
It is the fact that Mr. Hill, individually,
is providing the funds for the reorgan
ization of the Oregon Trunk. This is
taken to Indicate that Mr. Hill is pro
ceeding effectively to introduce his per
sonality into the railroad development
of Oregon. It means that Hill person
ally, and not as the official h,ead of
the Great Northern, is securing a foot
hold on the Pacific Coast which will
perpetuate his railroad activities long
after the possible loss of control in the
Great Northern. Owning a majority of
stock in the North Bank, Mr. Hill can
Intrench himself firmly in the railroad
activities of this section by completing
the Oregon Trunk and building into
California.
History of Oregon Trunk.
The Oregon Trunk was organized un
der the laws of Nevada, February 24,
1906, with a capital stock of $1,000,000.
The principal incorporators were W. F.
Nelson, now deceased, and V. D. Wil
liamson. R. A. Ballinger. Secretary of
the Interior, was at one time a director
of the company. Late last Fall, and
just before Nelson died, Williamson ac
quired a controlling interest in the
property after Porter" Bros, had pur
chased .a large block of stock. They
held the property, until it was trans
ferred, according to Mr. Stevens' an
nouncement during the last few days.
Mr. Williamson at the time of the last
transfer was president of the company.
"I can add nothing farther- to what Mr.
Stevens has said," replied Judge C. H.
Carey, of the firm of Carey & Kerr, gen
eral counsel for the Oregon Trunk, last
night. Like Mr. Sfevens, Judge Carey
declined to discuss the plans of the com
pany under Its new management, other
than to say that the proposed road Into
Central Oregon would be built. This
legal firm being resident attorneys for
the Hill roads, will continue fheir pres
ent relations with the Oregon Trunk.
"If Mr. Stevens and Mr. Hill and their
associates want to build a railroad Into
Central Oregon, let them go ahead." said
J. P. O'Brien, general manager of tho
Harriman lines, last night, when in
formed of the purchase by Stevens of the
Oregon Trunk. "There Is plenty of room
In the Deschutes canyon for two rail
roads, and I don't see who is going to

idly as it is possible to do it.
that before this
transfer was made last night that neither
Mr. Stevens nor Mr. tiui nao
do with the road. We were building it
ourselves, and we had plenty of money
behind us to complete it. If this transfer
of stock had never happened, the road
would have been built just the same, as
we promised from the first that it would
be built. We were fully prepared to carry
... nrnml in everv narticular.
'"She controlling interest was sold to
Mr. Stevens for various reasons, i ami i
think the public would be interested in
the details of the matter, anyway. All
they are interested in is whether the road
is to be built. It certainly will be."
For the present Air. Williamson still
remains president of the road, and the
other officials will also remain in their
positions. '
