FORMED liiillcotlonn tlmt Survey up Dcsciutcs and Willow Cicek Is Taken Over by 0. R. & N.-UckI Line For thl Section. A) indications point to the building of U wnter-level route up tlio DeaclnUefl river into Cen tral Oregon, the luteet devolop monts indicating moat clearly tlmt. the Oregon llailroad & Nuv igntioti Company is not going to overlook this moat feuaible of all the proposed pontes into the rich wheat belt, timber and irri gated districts of tho south-central portion of the state, ev eral weeks ago a survey wb completed up tho Deschutes as far as tho month of "Willow creek, and then up the Willow creek gorge to Madras. This survey was made by a party in charge' of F. S. Gordon, who had charge of the work on the Great Southern or Dufur road, and was said to be backed by the same iinancini interests. W. P. Nelson, who is vice pres ident of the Great Southern, and who is said to be associated with Seattle capitalists, spent a portion of his time with tho surveying party, aYid personally inspected the route. He is said to be one of the best railroad builders in the West. This sur vey was only made from the muUth of White river, but Mr. Gordon was funiiliar with the lower Deschutes, having form erly been connected with a par ty which ran a preliminary line up the river. What gives color to the ru mor that the IJarriman interests are liguring on the road up the Deschutes is the recent organi tion by parties closely associat ed with the 0. It. & N. interests, of a company known as the Deschutes llailroad Company. Tho company waa incorporated by W. W. Cotton, who is chief counsel lor the Harriman lines, J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the 0. K. & N. company, and William Crooks, who is associ ated with them. Tho purpose ol the company is stated to bo to build and operate a railroad from the 0. It. & N. line at Des chutes, via the vaHey of the Desohutes river to Bend. This announcement following upon the completion of the smvey up the upper Deschutes leads to the belief that the survey made by the W. F, Nelson party has been taken over1 by the Harri man interests. It is definitely known that after the survey was completed to Madras, Mr. Nel son wont to Portlnnd, and that in the meantime his party un der F. 8. Gordon have been re locating a line ,down the Des chutes from the mouth of White river to tho 0. It. & N. lino on the Columbia. The organization of tho Dos ohutes company by Harriman ollibiale, the careful survey of tho line up tho DesohuteH, and which survey was at tho same time A jDorhmnont loca tion! togother with tho faot that W. F. Nelson is olio of the iilost practical railroad-bulldora who has over operated ill tho state, ilnd that ho was Undoubtedly fanning to build this roUd to Sell, all tehd to eohiirm tho be lief tttttl Ihii 0. H. & N con pany is going to build into Cen tral Oregon by tho Deschutes river route. Tho fact that once this road was built into Central Oregon, it would be "easy got ing on into California, strength ens tho belief that the Harri man interests would have to.ul timately adopt this route, for it is a fact well known that the Shasta route from Portland to San Francisco is one of the most expensive roads in the United States to maintain and operate, while tho proposed line across Central Oregon could be built all the way through on easy grades and curvatures, and thus open a way for the economical handling of the heavy traffic be tween the north and south on this coast.' The railroad situation in Cen tral Oregon has reached an acute stage, and it is expected that definite announcement of tho immediate construction of one of the lines may be looked for at any .time. Certain it is thatno recent development in the. railroad situation as it affects Central Oregon has borne so much promise of early relief for Central Oregon as has the activ ity with reference to the water level route up the Deschutes, which would be the cheapest to build, the most economical to operate and the most feasible route with which this section of the state could be opened up. APPOlflTMEp jS. HELD LP W. C. Brlatol, who Was recently ap pointed United 6tutea District Attor noy for Oregon, Is now charged with having nttempted to 'extort "blood money" while acting as au attorney forono of tho parties lualundsale, and lilt nomination will probably be withdrawn and a now selection made. This announcement has come as a clap or thunder out of a clear sky to those friends of the new appointee who thought that his appointment would be confirmed without opposi tion. Mr. Bristol was recommended by Francis J. Honey for the position, and his fitness and especial qualifica tion for the federal attorneyship were matters of general felicitation atnonp those who desired to see some strong mau appointed. Tho disappointment will be very keon should the charges against Mr. Bristol bo substantiated and his appointment as district attor ney be revoked. Tlio specific chargo against Mr. Bris tol is that while acting as" att.rne3 for Pago & Hogart in a pending land deal, ho wrote a letter to tho Coos Bay Land fc Improvement Company at Portland, enclosing a contract signed by Pago & Hogart, whereby they agreed to purchuso a certain tract ol hind from the company for $40,000, the contract brelng in the nature of an op tion. In his letter ho said: "In view of the tact that what I might say or do may have considerable influence on tlio result of tho transaction I suggest that you call your people togethor and let me know what lump sum you are willing to pay me lu case the deal goes through". Being tho paid attorney of Pago & Hogart, Mr. Bristol la charged with huvln? uttemptod to extort money from the other party to tho deal, while accepting a foo fori representing eolely the Interests of the other. If this chargo lf Bubstnutlated, Mr. BrUtol will surely go, us such conduct Is very unprofessional and savors strongly of graft. In tho ovent the clmigo Is established, ho may be permitted to roslgu, of ho muy bo summarily re moved und a now district attorney appointed Mr. Brlfltol denied the chargo ugulhst him, and his friends bo iiv tlmt hu will be able to oiler an explanation of tho proceeding which appears bo luestlonablo upon its face. kolie'rt Red arrived on Wednesday af ternoon for a two weeks' visit with his brother, J. S. Commissioner Kea. He has been living at Ketchiknn, Alaska, where he had soine interest in a marble property, i"or the ri.Vst year.

ATTACHED Placed, by R. L. Sabin tor Creditors THE COMPANY IS SOLVENT Trouble Over ManagementCompany Wyi be Reorganized Upon a Firm Basis. On last Monday afternoon an attachment was levied upon all the real and personal property of the Madras Milling & Mer cantile Company, thasuit being brought by E. L. Sabin, of the Merchants Protective Associa tion, for the protection of thn creditors. The total indebted ness of the company, including all bills of, every kind, is said to be in the neighborhood of 80, 500, while the assets of the com pany will amount to practically 19.000. The present difficulties into which the milling company has fallen are said to be the out come of some friction which hats existed among tho members of the corporation, this friction having resulted in crippling the milling and mercantile business to an extent which created dis satisfaction among the credit ors and brought; the attachment proceedings down upon them. The building of the flouring mill last yeat was heralded as an enterprise which would give Madras considerable prestige over other neighboring com munities, and there was great disappointment v?hn this fric tion in the management of the company resulted in praotically destroying its usefulness during the past seasom We are informed, by members of the company that the present troubles will soon be righted, and that the company will be placed upon a better and more satisfactory footing. Located as it is in the very heart of u great wheat producing district, and with an unlimited scope ol country in which to seek its market, the flouring mill at Madras should prove a bonanza under proper management. s CROOK GETS GOOD SHARE i In the apportionment of the $28,212.37 which the federal gov ernment turned over to the state for distribution among the diff erent' counties for road pur poses, this money being live per cent, of the amount realized from" the sale of government land within this state, Crooh county received $2,870.S2 as her portion. Tho money is appor tioned among the different coun ties, according to the area of each, and is for roadbuilding purposes. This is one place where the "cow comities" get even with the richer and more populous counties of the state. Multnomah only receives 130. Harney ooUnty received 3,187 .OS; Malheuv 2,905, Lake 2374, and Crook comes next. NEWS FOR RRINEVILLE.
