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 becompleted by the tinWtko itill line down tho North bahkof tho Columbia ia readyt and thSoon tracts call for the completion of that voacLiiot later than No vem bor 1,1000.

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- . . 1 k 15 L gon, except me -arnngion branch, we have not heard of it. NoJ doubt Mr. Harriman will build into Central Oregon, to Coos Buy; ihto the Wallovva country) into the Klamatti re- gion; out wnouf 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.

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: - Prineville Review: It has al ways been a source of bonder to the Review why gold, in pay ing quantities fins not 'been dis covered in Smith Rock hills.
