THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15. 1913. MR. STRAHORN SftYS BOARD CLEARS WAY 1340th Friday Surprise s Portland's gig Event Today 20 Railroad Builder Feels Act in Settling Project Was ' Aid to Development. NEXT MOVE POINTED OUT Accessibility of Crater Lake Park Icclared Xext in Importance to .Reclamation 'and Daylight Trips Would Add Revenues. Tlobert K. Strahorn. the 'well-known railroad builder, who proposes to buili a new network of railroads In Cen tral Oregon to connect the loose ends of the five existing lines now In that territory, views with much satisfac tion the recent action of the State Des ert Land Board in settling the difficu.. ties of the Portland Irrigation Com pany In connection with the Paisley project In Crook County. Since outlining his plans before a body of Portland financiers and busi ness men last week. Mr. Strahorn has received much encouragement from persons in all parts of the state, lie Insists, however, that the Irrigation tangles of Central Oregon must be straightened out and that the large land areas must be broken up before actual railroad development can pro ceed. "The prompt action of the state board, paving the way for the reclama tion of 12,000 acres of splendid lands under the Paisley project, is highly commendable," said Mr. Strahorn yes terday. Is the best thing done up to date to clear the deck for action by the Oregon, California & Eastern Itailway. Company Ready to Invest. "I understand there are some other complications yet to be solved in con nection with this project, but that the company now stands ready to invest hundreds "of thousands of dollars In reclamation of these lands as soon as these other matters, for which they do not seem responsible, have been gotten out of the way. I have been all over these lands and am Impressed by the fact that it is about the finest body of compact sagebrush lands and capa ble of producing the widest range of products of any in Central Oregon. "Of course, there are many other much larger tracts, for instance, the great body of sagebrush land. 30 miles north of the Paisley tract around Sil ver Lake. Here there is another splen did field for our united action. "There are 90.000 acres of first-class land, the irrigation of which, I under stand from Government officials, is cn- I tirely feasible. My belief is that prompt "insures should be taken to organize a local irrigation district, as Is so com monly done in California and other states, and put the project through un der district auspices. Finances Believed Easily Solved. Such a district could issue regular public securities for which a market doubtless could be had if the project is properly, put together. There are al ready important improvements and large property values in the district. ' and. with the added security 'of these lands when they are irrigated, it would seem to me to be one district where the financing and reclamation could be done within a reasonable period. "The fertility and producing capacity of both this and the Paisley district have been thoroughly proved by large similar areas immediately adjoining which now produce apples, cherries, plums and other fruits, as well as'large ciuantities of alfalfa and other grasses and all hardy grains and vegetables. "With the prospect of the early com. plction of the Bend-Lakevlew line of the Oregon, California & Kastern Rail way through both tracts, there would soem to be no question but prompt set tlement and cultivation of them could be depended upon. Crater Lake Interested. ' "However, the building of the rail road is absolutely dependent upon the carrying out of these other projects, so now. having practically disposed of tha Pnisley project, let us get to work at fcilver Lake and on other similar proj ects I have heretofore mentiodned." .mong callers at Oregon, California ; Eastern Railway headquarters yes terday were Alfred L. Parkhurst, pro prietor of the Crater Lake Company. and Will G. Steel, superintendent of Crater Lake National Park, represent ing probably the most important single tourist attraction in the Pacific North ivoft. They are. of course, interested in the Klamath Kalis extension of the new line, as its nearest point would be within 10 miles of the park. ' " Daylight Trip Possible. Prom this point a braneh might ulti mately be built to the edge- ot the park, leaving only five or six miles of first-class Government road to traverse to reach the hotel and lake. This would make it possible for tourists to leave Portland at night and take breakfast the next morning at Crater Lake house. or passengers could leave Portland at a seasonable hour in the morning and reach Crater Lake in time for dinner at night. . "Next to the development of .the vast Central Oregon farming, stockraising and lumbering resources comes the im portance of rendering more accessible Crater Lake National Park, and it would he one ot the greatest sources of revenue for the new railroad line, said Mr. Strahorn. VALUATION IS PROTESTED liOts Appraised by Countl at $230 Valued at .$8000. Suit to enjoin the county from taking their property at a valuation of $625 to make an overhead crossing in connec tlon with the improvement of Capital Highway, formerly the Slavin road, was started in Federal Court yesterday by R. J. Mercer, Anna Mercer and Nellie Stickler, of Vancouver, Wash. They- own lots 1, 2 and 3, block 7, of Bertha.
