C. C. Hutchinson, land com missioner, of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company, does toot think inVich. of Mr. Ilarrirnan'a pMioy ol first got- .r .1 .. l .1 ..-"Jl Jl .1 ling f,uo country ueveiopeu iinu then having a railroad follow the people. Mr. ilutchinson represents a lirm that has built canals and ditches in ventral Oregon, a fertile country which he claims U farther away from a railroad than any other valu able lands in the United States. Ha believes that a railroad into Central Oregon is necessary to the development of this rich suction of the state and refutes the statement that Up country is not sufliclo'rftiy populated to warrant the 0.'lti& N. Company building a branch lino from Shaniko to Btmd. 'It ia nonsense," snid Mr. Hutchinson yesterday after Moon, ''for railroad men to" say le'velope the country and then we will build a railroad it akei railroad to 'flevolope and open a rich country sitoh as s in Central Oregon. Settlers lanjMOt b Indued . tp .tKK UP rws no tar fro trafffp, for thfeie is no cliaiic, to dispose of their producta r is an in- . i iisffc as soon as a rail' la built into Uila acjciWoH Itltwr U MUHrthAV 'I Mw w- Madras as Madras. The immediate tonnage oftli e new road will come from this terri tory, nnd what; is known as the Agency Plains country and the VViJlow Creek basin is really the section of Central Oregon which would make the opera tion of a railroad through this section of the state profitable at this time. Mr. Cotton, who may be presumed to speak ix cathe dra, said in effect that the road would not be extended to Uend at this time, but Mr. Harriman said later that the road would be extended to the irrigated country around Bend before the settlers were there. And the further statement that the ex tent of Jhe railroad building de pends upon the people of Oie gon is, a strong hint that. the llafiiman theory of railroad building is to make extensions only where present development Vif$ie8 it. These facts, taken in nMnnnttt-JVJlth the StatC- munt iBSlo at the tinuWtiie ... -u yi K investigation by officials of the road several weeks itco. that the Columbia Southern would extend for fifty miles, would in dicate very strongly thatMad- ras is the objective point of tin present proposed extension. oeet sugar tactory witu a ca pacity of 1000 of beets a day and it will take 0000 acres to grow beets enough to keep this factory supplied. The New County Roads. The new road which has been ordered opened up from Madias north to Sage Brush sprint;, Kill be of great assistance to all who have business between this point and the railroad terminus at Shan iko. This road, which is known as the Fisher road, will connect with the Don P. Kea road nt Sajjc Urush spring, and it is the direct route between this place nnd ! leister. Dcsides shortening the dis tance by several miles, it avoids the steep grades, nnd gives us almost a direct route over a very easy grade ail the way to Heisler, The mn'il stage will go by this loufe. The $400 appropriated for completing the Don P. Kea road will be sufficient to finish the grade on this toad and put it in fiftt-rjiass condition. This is a direct rond to the north end of the. Uig Plain, and it also furnishes a direct route to Heisler. MORE ARO.UTfTHE GREAT SOUTHERN I'ortlnmt Journal. Sixteen miles of track laid and 147 men with a Roberts track laying machine will finish the railroad to Dnfur by Sep tember 1, is the statement-made by tlfo 'manager of the 'Great, Southern railrdad. Three-fourths of tho bridges aro in and they are surfacing' the..mHd as yao along. The company has one engine, JiH uu.vun 18 Willi iV Ulll M UD .. ...1 1V1 in iiiM car and oue rmssenoer conch ' holt'. In regard to rates, thej company li.-is made some toi warehottsi'inen along the line, lut would not give out any ihi g for publication. tJ The best day's work that'has bein done is a total cSfSOO fe.et j ol track-in- one day. As soon as tifeioad is Jinished to Dufnr the company expects to con-! tinuo its line up the Agency Plains. Two-thirds of the right-of-way has bpen secured forty miles south of Dufur and men are out securing the rest,. From Dufur the read will fol low a southerly course to the mouth of Warm Springs river, across the went end of juniper flat!?, Warm Springs reserva tion, and then southeast to Agency Plains. The line is on a slight water grade from the head of Warm Springs creek to The Dalles, the maximum grade from The Dalles to Dufur being 1.0 per cent, Dufur to Tygh hill 1.5 per cent, Beaver creek -to Deschutes river 1 per cent, and heaviest curvature 10 degrees. The length of the road from here to Agency Plains will be 112 miles. The portage road proposition for the use of the Great South ern track into The Dalles has been taken up by the directors and it ies probable that the same proposition will be offered tin portage road as made befpre, which will give the portage the free use of the Great Southern tracks into The Dalles attd give Great Southern the free u0e of the portage track, or a state'd price per car per mile.

The coat being divided will be brought within the reach ol every farmer Interested. The surplus of wheat raised lust year by these people readied 10,000 bushles. The diHtauce to railroad is too great to make it pay to haul, Tho lack of water for their stock forbids their keeping enough stock .to consume their products of grain. Therefore the fertility of their soil is a barren gift. Success in the well digtflug will remeJy all. Bluffing the United States. Kast Orvgonlnu.
