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.

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."

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. Allen, district forester, in the Beck
f ,
if
building. Details of the administration
of the Forest Service, for this aistrict
embracing Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Alaska, were thoroughly considered.
Following his address last night Mr
Pinchot left for San Francisco, on his
return to Washington.
In the noon hour Mr. Pinchot was en
tertained at luncheon at the Portland
Commercial Club as the guest of the
Oree-on & Washington Lumber Manu
facturers' Association and the Columbia
River Loggers' Association. 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.
Knapp, of the Peninsula Lumber Com
