EMPIRE WAlHNG
FOR A RAILROAD
OrcKoniHH.
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

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

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

investigation by officials of the
road several weeks itco. that
the Columbia Southern would
extend for fifty miles, would in

present proposed extension.

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.

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.

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.
