AUGUST 31. 1909. IK-BEND LINE, HILL'S NEXT MOVE Building of 75-Mile Road Is to Follow Purchase of Rival's Surveys. CONSTRUCTION WORK ON Orrprrn Trunk Tairo Over Central Orrgon Railroad, Obviating Task of Locating Route Transfer Surprises Portlandera. ' Couplet with the announcement that the vnn Tnmk hu Durcbased the rurveys of the Central Oregon Railroad, definite ...i,rrr wm riven yesterday oy repre eentativea of the H1IJ road that work would be begun tonmedlatefy on the con struction of 75 miles 'of additional road between Madra and Bend. Construction forces began work yester j .lA,,. thM nwlv-otilred surveys and the ground will be completely covered within a snon unw. ui m '. with the ame enerry the Oreson Trunk 1s now displaying on the Peschutee River. and Fend will have railway connections ' within two years, the time required to 1 build up the difficult canyon. Concerning the new acquisition of the i- . irninit Jnhn F. Stevens, direct- ', ing heed in the Wert of the Oregon Trunk, raid: The Orejron Trunk Line has purchased the entire capital stock of the Central : Oregon Railroad, and now owtis all of the charter privileges, right of way and all 1 other property of the latter company. 'The Oregon Trunk I,lne will use such j parts of the right-of-way privileges of I the Oregon Central as It may deem neces I sary for the continuation of Its line of ; railway south from Madras. Its eonstruc i tlon forces are already on the ground and ' at work at several points smith of Ma : dras." Of Portland Orifrin. The Central Oregon Railroad was orlg : inally projected by Portland men Inter ! ested In the Deschutes Irrigation & Power . Company, now irrigating a large tract of land under the provisions of the Carey ' act. In the vicinity of Prinevllle and Bend. The road, as proposed by the irriga t'on men, was to begin at Shanlko, the .' terminus of the Columbia Southern, the Harriman line that parallels the Des chutes on the east for TO miles, and run ' from thence to Prinevllle and Bend. The plats and rurveys wherever they cross Govrnment land have been filed with the Interior Department. While the Oregon Trunk line acquires the entire survey. It Is admlttted that the portion between Shaniko and Madras will be of no use to the new road, but the j surveys between Madras and Bend will be utilised wherever possible. Incident to the purchase of the surveys the Deschutes Irrigation A Power Com- pany has entered Into a contract waiving : any Irrigation rights that may conflict with the railroad rlRM-of-way. Cuts Through Project. Between Prinevllle and Bend the ac , quired right of way Is through the heart . of the Irrigation project, thus Insuring the settlers thereon a railroad outlet for ! their products within two years and also ,' insuring- valuable tonnage for the Hill road. In addition to these advantages the Oregon Trunk has apparently executed a coup on the rival Harriman l!iu. for the Central Oregon Railroads surveys. It is understood, conflict for about 20 miles with the surveyed route of the Deschutes : Railroads or the Harriman line. When the surveys of the Deschutes i Railroad Company were accepted by the Interior Department it was announced that the acceptance of that portion In conflict with the surveys of the Central Oregon Railroad was subject to the lat ter's protest. As pointed out in dls- t patches yesterday from Bend, however, I there seem to be only two places where ! any particular advantage over the Har ; rlman road Is acquired by the Oregon Trunk line In buying out the Central . Oregon. These are at the crossing of ' Crooked River and at the Davidson ranch. At the latter place the second road seeking a line will have to attain an altitude of feet above Its rival to circle a high hill. At the time the announcement was published of the acceptance of the Har ' rlman road's surveys, officials of the Des j chutes Irrigation & Power Company were quoted as declaring thy would of : fr no objections because of the conflict with their survey, but that they were disposed to do everything possible to facilitate the construction of a railroad ; Into Central Oregon. Officers of the ir rigation company In the past have been considered more than friendly to the Har riman interests and the purchase of their railway survey rights by the Hill road was a surprise In Portland. Survej Work Obviated. "The principal advantage in acquiring the Central Oregon Railroad's surveys." said Judge C. H. Carey, legal counsel for the Hill road yesterday, "lies in the fact that the surveys have been made and we are thereby saved the work of locating a route for about 76 miles south of Madras." Oregon Trunk representatives also ad- mltted yesterday that surveying parties are at work south of Bend, but they de clined to make any statements as to whether the ultimate goal of the Hill road was California or a point In South ern Oregon. . When Bend Is reached the Oregon Trunk line has only reached Central Ore gon. Off to the southeast Is the Klamath region, where a big Government Irriga tion project Is under way. The comple tion of this, the Klamath and Deschutes projects will open more than 500.00 acres of rich land, producing the tonnage that makes railroads pay dividends. J I ore Activity Slated. Regardless of California extensions; the activities of the Oregon Trunk lead to the conviction among railroad observers . that the Hill road will at least traverse ' Oregon, north and south, and tap the Klamath Lake region. The Oregon Trunk Is also preparing for more active operations at the mouth of the river. An agreement has been en tered Into with the owners of the damsite near the mouth, under the terms of which the railroad will cross the dam. 130 feet above the river and 10 feet higher than the dam. Wagon roads are now being . constructed to enable the moving of out fits on the ground. I.OCAIj passengers excluded ot Wanted on Chicago-Portland Special on O. R. A . Beginning next Friday the O. R. A N. Company will enforce a new rule, exclud ing local passengers from the Chicago Portland Special, -t fast morning' train out of Portland for the East. Only pas sengers destined to points east of Hunt ington will be accepted. The new rule will make It necessary for passengers destined to local points on the railroad. If they desire to patronise a morning train, to leave at 7:30 instead of 10 A. M. The reason given for the new rule by O. R. N. officials Is that because of in creased through traffic and a general tendency on the part of local passengers to take pie fast train, it has been fonnd almost Impossible to maintain the Chicago-Portland Special's schedule. The train lately has had to carry four day coaches to accommodate local traffic. The change will probably cause dissatis faction among patrons of the road, par ticularly beyond The Dalles. The fast train leaving at 10 A. M., for Instance, reaches Umatilla only 30 minutes behind the Atlantic Express, which departs from Portland at 7:30. while tt arrives at Pen dleton 10 minutes ahead of the slow Eastern train. The fast train runs to Baker City in three and one-half hours less time than does the earlier train. GRADING OF "T" DONE TODAT Harriman Construction Work on Peninsula Progressing.

IS Federated Trades Delegation Says County Acted Right. LOCAL TERMS TOO HIGH Complaint by Glass & Frndliomme Caused Inquiry Alleged Brib ery Attempt in 190! Is Re counted by County Clerk. A delegation rfom the Federated Trades waited upon Commissioner Lightner and County Clerk Fields yes terday afternoon to learn the reason why the .contract for 100 half-bound books for use in Mr. Fields" office was let to Crocker & Co., of San Fran- THE OHIO -- -.- if,- -v, Cisco, for JSOO. Sly Portland firms put in bids of 1440 each. Evidence of col lusion, and the fact that a member of one local book-binding firm told Mr. Fields that the profit on the book con tract, .if let to a Portland firm, was to be divided among 10 local firms, caused the County Court to award the contract to an outside firm. After Delegates G. W. Howell. Stricklin and Hackett. from the Federated Trades, had heard the facts relative to the contract, and read the correspondence between the County CouTt and Crocker & Co., they agreed they would have acted ex aetly as did the County Court In pur chasing the books. Not only did local printers put In bids to make the 100 books for the same price for which they had been furnishing them singly, but a local agent for' Bernard & Co., of St. Louis, Informed Mr. Fields he was en tertained so well here he did not get his company's bid In time to compete with the local firms. The three mem bers of the Federated Trades consid ered 11440 too high for the work, and on the other hand said that $800 was too low. Mrr Stricklin said he thought $12.50 a book was about right. Commissioner LIghtner and County Clerk Fields expressed regret that it became necessary to have the work done outside the city, but said under the circumstances there was nothing else to do. "If one of the Portland firms had bid $12 I think we should have let the contract." said Mr. Lightner. Mr. Fields said he discovered upon talking with the County Clerk from Vancouver, Wash., that a local firm was selling him the same book in use in Mr. Fields' office for $10.60. A member of the firm of Glass & Prudhomiae Is said to have requested that the Federated Trades Council take up the Crocker book bid with the County Court, yesterday's call being the result. County Clerk Fields stated that when bids for printing were advertised for. six months ago. Lovejoy & Lincoln submitted a bid of $9 80 each for 50 record books such as are now being purchased in San Francisco. Glass & Prudhomme bid $79$ for the entire Job, which, in this instance. Included a great deal of work besides the record books. The latter firm com plained because the County Court pur chased 50 books from the former com pany. In spite of the fact that Lovejoy & Lincoln's total bid was $24.65. The complaint made was that Lovejoy & Lin coln made the books too cheaply. Mr. Fields explains some of the Ill feeling among local bookbinders against the County Court by relating that In 19i. when he first assumed onice. member of the Irwln-Hodson Company I approached him with the statement that "there will be a commission' in It ror.you if you let us have the county's work." This was reported at once to the County CoWrt, said Mr. Fields yesterday, and the offer weighed against the firm when the time for letting county printing con tracts arrived. MEXDEXHALIj SEEKS DIVORCE Lawyer Says Wife, WlioLeft Him Ten Years Ago, Seeks Property. A divorce suit has been filed In the Circuit Court by Edward C. Menden hall, a well-known local attorney. Mrs. Eliza Matilda Mendenhall de serted him more than 10 years ago, he says, and lately has adopted such a course as to cause him great humilia tion. Coming to Portland from Los Angeles, where she has been for a long time, says Mendenhall, his wife has en gaged in the rooming-house business here, and has threatened to go out and do nursing, thereby giving the im pression that she Is In straitened circumstances. Her object, he says. Is to obtain half his property. The attorney says also that his wife has made false charges against him. Involving the names of .other women, and that he offered to permit an In vestigation of these by three Impartial persons to be named by his wife. But to this, be says, she demurred, saying that all she wanted was half the property. He married her In Lewis county Wash.. In 1882. LIEX OJT HOME NOT VALID Court Decides Against Plumber Who Seeks to Foreclose. A mechanic's lien against a home where a family lives, and which some member of the family owns, is not valid according to a decision by Circuit Judge Gatens yesterday morning. The Oregon law provides that a homestead Is exempt from execution. But instead of including simply 160 acres of land acquired from the Government the term BOOK BID UPHELD 'VrtmMta A" in Iflu- means the place where a man and his family live. Yesterday's case came before Judge Gatens on a plea in abatement of a mechanic's lien suit brought by B. I. Beard and H. Dlckel against the property of N. R. Landis and F. R. Salway. From the complaint it appears that Beard and Dickel did some plumbing- on the house occupied by Landis and Salway. but that a controversy arose over the manner in which the work was done, and payment In full was refused. A mechanic's Hen was filed, and an ' effort made to fore close. In deciding the case Judge Gatens said the matter had been decided In the 29th Oregon in which the State Supreme Court said that "property exempt by law from seizure and sale under an execu tion must also be exempt from the me chanic's lien law. unless the statute con ferring the remedy expressly provides that such property , was meant to be in cluded within its operation." MRS. EG AX CONTINUES FIGHT Tacoma Woman Who Says She Was Petterson's Wife, Seeks Estate. The demurrer of the defendants in the suit of Mrs. Christina Egan In the Circuit Court for alimony from the Charles Petterson estate, was con tinued by Circuit Judge Gatens yester day morning until tomorrow, that Ta ooma attorneys representing Mrs. Egan might appear in court. Mrs. MALE CHORUS. Sf-' fir- ' -.! h I t 1 ' t r V ! Egan claims to have been at one time Petterson's wife. County Judge Web ster found, however, that her claim is unfounded. She renewed her fight in the Circuit Court. The woman says she married an Oscar Peterson in Tacoma and was de serted in -1892. She secured a divorce In the following March, with $20 a month alimony. Charles petterson died in Portland in 1908. and the mother claimed the estate for her son. PhotogTaphS of 'Oscar- Peterson and Charles Petterson, deceased, were In troduced in evidence to prove that they were the same person, but Judge Web ster decided they were not.

A portion of the roof of the old building has been torn off and the east wing Is being torn down. Deputy Sheriff Martin.

BANK BOVGHT BY CREDITOR Merchants National Purchases De funct Prairie City Institution. The Stockmen and Traders' Bank, of Prairie City, recently declared insolv ent had been sold to the Merchants' National Bank of Portland, one of its largest creditors, for $33,888.61. Cir cuit Judge Gatens yesterday signed the order confirming the sale. The amount paid by the local bank will pay all the liabilities, as well as the cost of the recevership. Although Solomon Taylor and W. W. Glbbs, and E. J. Bernard put in higher bids theirs were not accepted, because they gave no bond. Taylor and Gibbs bid $34,500 and Bernard $34,600. The Merchants' National is to pay the first half of the purchase price November . 1, and the balance Mas 1, next year. Attorney A. F. Flegel. ap pearing In behalf of James R. Poland, the receiver, informed Judge Gatens that about 80 per cent of the minor creditors have agreed to wail until next November for the settlement of half their claims, and until next May for the rest. Asks Court to Rescind Order. The petition of W. E. Buffum that the County Court rescind Its order which compels him to pay $5 a month for the support of his wife and child came up for hearing before County Judge Web ster yesterday afternoon. The child is at present at the Detention Home of the Juvenile Court, having been taken away from the mother by Chief Probation Of ficer Teuscher, charges that she Is unfit to have the child having been , preferred. In fact this is one of the charges made in the supplemental nonsupport proceed ings now In progress in the County Court. Court Notes. The County Court yesterday morning appointed Mrs. Ethel M. Cooke, widow of the late Alan F. Cooke, administra trix of his estate. The only property mentioned Is a claim against the O. R. & N. Company -for $7500 on account of Cooke's death, which occurred in an accident July 21.

TWO ASSOCIATIONS HOSTS Lumber Manufacturers and Colum bia River loggers Entertain Chief' Forester Oregon Timber Con ditions Praised by Visitor. Mr. Pinchot passed a busy day In Port land yesterday. Aside from being en tertained at luncheon and addressing . a public meeting at the First Unitarian Church last night, the Chief Forester spent the entire, day In conference with E. T.

Following the luncheon, L. J. Wentworth, presi dent of the former organization, presid ing, introduced Mr. Pinchot, who dis cussed briefly the work of the Conserva tion Commission. The foremost conserva tlon advocate expressed a personal ap preciation of the co-operation of the lumber manufacturers of Oregon and Washington In the work of the Conserva tion Commission. Oregon Conditions Praised. "If forestry methods are properly ap plied, particularly In Oregon," said Mr. Pinchot. "the timber can be perpetuated and furnish for use between 2.000.000,000 and 3.000.000,000 feet of lumber annually. This will be abundant to meet all de mands from your state as I understand there is now disposed of through the lumber market about 1.600,000,000 feet an nually. Tou have ideal conditions for reforestation and with the encouraging outlook in the Pacific Northwest for this industry I hope to see every advan tage taken of so favorable a situation. Mr. Pinchot said that one of the most encouraging observations he had made during his visit to the Pacific Coast was the fact that the Oregon conservation Commission is composed so largely of lumbermen. He expressed sincere gratl flcatlon with the work being performed by this organization of which J. N. Teal, of this city, is chairman. Mr. Went worth called on Russell Hawkins, of the Russell Timber Company, and F. C.
