It lu8 been roportetl hero dur
ing the Yfwk tlmt tho Great
Sotitliurn RailwJiy) lenown ae
tho Dultir lotd, had ulruady lot
iv con tract for tho extension of
Vonfl South from Dufur to
!Madran, and that Nelson, tho
contractor who ttye con
truVtiou Work between Th,e
BaileH and Dufur. had also been
awarded tho contract for con
struction of the extension. This
report has not been confirmed
by anything in tho daily die
patches, but it is quite well
known thiit sono, Mtno ago Mr.
Noloon was awarded the con
tract for an extension of the
Dtifur road on South from its
present terminus to the south
ern part of Wasco County, and
those who are familiar with that
section of country say it is quite
unlikely that the road would be
extended for that distance and
no further.
Tht promoter and owners of
the Great Southern have shown
no hesitancy in making, If nown
their plans to enter tho Central
Oregon Hed, and the President
John Hoi mrich of Seattle, has
been frequently quoted as say
ing that the road would not stop
at Dufur but would bo pushed
on into Central Oregon as rap
idly as possible. Some two or
three weeks ago F, S. Gordon
engineer in .oh urge oftlMvork
for this road, and Mr Nelson
.the contractor, were in this
neighborhpod making a recon
Jiiasatico of several routes into
this iinme.diato section. They
spent BauiQ tune on theDes
chutes Itlver near the ferry
mukincr rbcqmiaisanco, . trips
up tP Willow Creek and on up
the gorge, aud also. . up Trou
Creek from the mouth.,, What
their purpose was can only be
surmised, but it is these things
which keep alive the belief that
the Great Southern is about to
invade tho Central Oregon
country, aud that James J. Hill
is actively backing up the pro
ject, with, a, View to entering this
territory so long held exclusive
ly by the Harriman interests.
The story regarding thb ex
tension of tho Dtifur road goes
further and says that the work
will bo hurried as much as pos
eible, in order .that thcrokd mey

HILL FREE TO MA$E
WAR ON HARRIMAN
The Wall Street Journal,, of
recent date, says: There is no
truce between E. H. Harriman
and J. 'J. Hill. They wfll each
separately fight out the railway
destinies of tho Northwest.
They are bound by no law,
written or unwritten, with re
gard to invasion of territory.
The Burlington will build into
Salt Lake. It will be a paral
Jel and competing liije with the
Union Pacific, being closely
alongside it from Omaha to jSult
Lake. J. J. Hill will go into
Portland and fight for every ton
f freight that crosses the north
ern half of the continent.
The Harriman railways now
hold San Francisco safe, as the
Hill railways hold Seattle. How
long it will bo before Hill's am
bition carries him to San Fran
cisco, or Harrimanfs ambition
carries him to Seattle, no one
can say
Perhaps the Turlington ex
tension is based.upon an under
standing With the Western pa
cific. It is a fact that the Hill
railway will enter Salt Lake
City about 'lie niomgnt the
Western Pacific completes its
last link to the Salt Lake-San
Francisco line. Harriman and
Gould railways are enemies;
Hill nnd Gould lines never met
in competition! .
--
Oregoniail: If Mi. Harriman
will take a ride up the south
bank of the Columbia river he
can look across and without!
leaving his own elegant palace
car, on his own road, see how a
railroad builder builds a rail
road. It Jias not been two
months since Mr. Hill announc
ed thnt he would build down
the north bank of the Colum
bin, yet today f,he. .con tracts are
let and tionstruction is. or is
about to be, activel' under way.
ft has been more than two years
6inco Mr. Harriman announced
that he would build from Bend
into Central Oregon, and not a
spadeful of earth has been
turned. If actual construction
is under wav on any of the
w w
other nnmerous projects in Ore-

gon, except me -arnngion

DOWN tfil NORTH BANK
r ft n n.'-if , f
Work w ill fie Completed In nc. Year,
at Cost of $10,000,000.
The contracts for the building
of tho Hill l,ihe down the north
bank of the Coiumbia into Port
land have been let, and the Work
is to. be completed by Novem
ber i pf flext year, at a cost of
'$10,000,000. This does not in
clude the cost of bridges across
the Columbia and the Willam
ette, which will be another $2,
000,000. The sub'Conttaots were
let by Seims & Shields, the gen
oral contractors, at Vancouver
on last Saturday, and about 12
firms were successful in secur
irtg a slice of the construction
work bptween Kennewick and
Portland. The time allowed for
the completion of the work, only
one.year, is short, but the work
will be pushed as rapidly as
possible, an army of men being
employed. Tho 12 sub-con
tractors cover a distance
about 190 miles, and each one
of them is responsible for the
completion of his portion of the
work within the allotted time.

DEATH OF P1RCY PRIcAY
rercy u. rnaay, a son o
Mrs. A. J. Priday, of Cross
Keys, died of typhoid fever at
the Southern Pacific Hospital in
San Francisco, on October 25,
1005. He bad been ill with
fever for about three weeks, but
the xlaily reports which were re
eeived from his bedside were al
of a most encouracinff natme
until the day before his death
when he became suddenly very
much worse, dying the nex
moininc. At the time of his
death his sister, Mrs. W. M. Da
vey, was with him. The re
mains were brought to Antelope
for interment, which took place
laet Saturday,.
Percy Priday was well known
throughout this county, of which
lie was a native son. He was
next to the youngest of the Pri
day sons, and abont-a year ago
went to Ualirornia to "work m
the mechanical department of
the Southern Pacific railroad.
for which work he seemed to es
pecially Care. He was getting
along nicely until taken with
typhoid early in October. He
was a most estimable yonnc
man, of upright character, and
his death will be ielt keenly by
his many friends:
