J t. .-t ras, Ore i gon Mi Tli Oregon Trunk Lino Is securing right-of-way as rapidly as" possible, and where it is Impossible to secure rlttht-of-wav through nurchftse. con detonation proceedings are; being in stituted by tho company. Lust week In the clrcut court at The Dalles, con demnation ' proceedings were com menced by V. II. Wilson,- attorney for tho Oregon Trunk Lino, to ' secure right-of-way over land 'owned by Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Sherar, JLt. Fl Lauchlln, E. F. bliurp and Kathleen Sharp, ami (Jeorge T. Parr and "Grace I'arr. This laud la located along the Deschutes river, on tho right-of-way of tho Ore gon Trunk Line, .and condemnation proceedings were brought because the company could not atrree with the owners of tho land ns to its value. A strip 1U0 feet wide Is sued for. The fact that condemnation proceed ings aro being resorted to where nec essary, in securing tho right-of-way for the Oregon Trunk Line, makes it appear quite certain that that line will build up the Deschutes at once. A large aninunt of tho right of-way has been secured already, and the condem nation proceedings cover those points where the right-of-way could not be secured by deed.

ITio drill wjiich Mr. Loveland purchased Is a 1200 foot drill, weighing 1)000 pounds. It Is the largest and best drilling outfit; which was ever brought into this section of tho state. Tho first contract which Mr. Love land will undortako with his new drill Is one for J Strain on the north end of Agency Plains, where ho expeots to slmt for water. This work will bo commenced jnst as noon as the drill arrives, which will bo within tho next few, days. It arrived at Shaniko last week, waa unloaded from the cars, and eight head of horses have been sent to Shaniko to haul it out. After com plying the Strain contraot, Mr. Loveland expects to go to tho Hay stack country, to continue a hole whieh was started there two years ago on the; Dave -Barnett place, to pros pect for oil.

(Oti the deep well at this- place, which Mr. Loveland started Inst fall, will be resumed in time.

F.or the pres ent the hole which was being drilled, and which had reached a depth of about 160 feet', has been plugged. This wall has become quite well known throughout the country, by reason of its propensities for spouting hot nlr, a steady .stream of warm air blowing out of the hole when it is not plugged Mr. Loveland expects to find plenty of fiue water within another hundred feet, and Just ns soon as It can be reached ho expects to resUme work on this well. Tho new drill was bought at Port laud through 15. E. Howes, coast agent for the National Drillinc Company.
