With Mesnra. Ni-luoti and Oreuory were D, A Itobinaon, wMio built all of the urain elevators alon tin- line of tlio fSruat Northern, L. II, Gray, former traUlc manager on the Yukon & White. Paw Hailway in. Alaska, Georni Danz, C. A. Cufihingand J. II. Dcveuve, all prominent bumneQft men and capi taliHts of Seattle. The jmrty rested nere lor an iiour or bo Titewlay evening, and then proceeded to iSend, makiti). the run in the evening to avoid the heat. The Oregon Trunk Line Iiiih completed its location up" the DcaehtUea canyon from the Columbia River to Madra, distance of 110 niilox, and conetructiou work was at one time under way, when itwaHheld up by the failuro to Kecun light of way becaupc of a contlict with the plans of the Government reclama tiott service, which proposed to utilize tiif iJcsemuea canyon lor power pur- f - pop.i'H in connection with the UmatiliH irrigation project. TheBC dillicultie are in process of ndjufctment now, th abaudoiiment of a portion of th reclamation project ami some eliirht alterations in the survey for the Oregon Trunk I,ine, bavins: eleared the way fo the null dad project. Mr. Gregory, who is actively promot ing the Oregon Trunk Line, stated whil nere iuewiay evening that the roao would be built. The jiresent trip is foi the pnrpofee of familiarizing tlios- nterchted in the project with the terri- torp tributary to tho proposed line, and while nn definite announcement of theii plans waB made, the emphatic assurance was given that the road would be built. Further thiyi this, and frequent ex pressions ot amazement at the extent and apparent richness of this territory by members of the party, tho visit ol the Oregon Trunk Line party was barren of "news upon which to bui d a story of the immediate construction of the road. It is believed, however, and tlu intimation was given, that following shortly upon the return of tho party to Seattle, a delinite announcement ot their plans will be made, Tho Ocschutos canyon is tho natural gateway to Central Oregon, and the promoters of tho Oregon Trunk Line unquestionably hold tho key to the transportation problem for this section. No other lino would afford this torritory so easy ami ' direct an outlet for it products, and no road across the mouii- tainseould bo built upon u grado which would permit of as economical opera tion. In the distance of 110 miles from the mouth of the Deschutes to Madras, there is a raise of only 2000 feet, that buing distributed over the cntiro dis--tance as thcrade is practically uniform. And, throughout that distanee much rich territory would be tributary to the Oregon Trunk Line, from both sides of the Deschutes Itivor. Mr. Nelboii and his party Bpent Wed nesday at Hond. Tliev uxneut to etuin by way of rrinevillo, then buck to Lumonta and on out to Slutniko by way of Ilnyeieok. Tho party ib travel ng in two largo automobiles, in which they are able to cover much territory in a comparatively short sp.iee Of tinio. LUMBER CONCERN ACTIVE Bu.lldlno 25-Mllo Flumo Across Juni per FlntTo Doschutoa Rlvur G. L. llurpluun, of Wupinititi, brings iH'ouiaging nowH from that section, which strengthens tho belief that con struction on a railroad lino up tho Deschutes Itivor will soon bo unnoilnced, Ho HtutoH that great activity is boing hown by tho Koops lumbering concorn, lnii limber holdings are located about l. miles west of Wapluiti. ThU compnny hiui ntil.d'.id u muuII mill fwr tho ptupoBo f sawing timborH lor the (hunt ruction of twu luri;e utillu, vhloli will have a combined capacity of be tween 80,000 and 100,000 feet of ltimber daily, They liavo surveyed and com menced construction on a bi flumo 25 miles long, across Juniper Flat to tho bank of tho Deschutes Iliver at a point nbotit ten miles above Sherar'H Mridgc. Mr, Harplmm states that maiiBtcr bailors and other heavy machinery arc now being taken in by this company, a mill pond with a capacity of holding several million feet of logs is being constructed, donkey engines arc being installed and everything indicates that operations arc to bo on a largo scale, lie says there is little doubt in hi? mind that tho company is going ahead on tho assur ance that they will have rail transporta tion at tho end of their flume on the Deschutes to handle the output of their mills, as no other explanation would suffice. This company has already ex pended about $l.'iO,O0O for Jimber lands and equipment and their expenditures will total alwtit $250,000 when their plant is completed. That a company would expend b much on mere goer's work, tindrr conditions that demand a railroad to make their property of any practical value, is not considered at all probable. Mr. lliirphain states that it is re ported that surveying parties arc now at work on both sides of the Deschutes above Sherar's liridge on railroad sur veys. In this connection he states that the Oregon Trunk Line survey is located on the west bank and the liarriinan survey ou the c!tst bank of tho river along that portion of the route. The surveyors on tho projected elec tric road, who arc working on the loca tion of the line between Mi. Hood and Wapinitia, are said to have complete! their preliminary work to a point about 20 miles from Wapinitia, and have gont back to set tho grade stakes for con struction work. Two engineers fron this party were recently in Madras look ing over the general topography of tin country. They bought ten head oi pack horses in this section and returned with them to the scene of operations. HARRIMAN MEN BUSY Inspecting Routes for Railroad, Into Central Oregon KRliTTSCHNITT HEADS PARTY OF VISITORS Porp!nont Officials Harrlmaij Roadr Make Hurried Tour Through tho ; Central Oregon Region TWO INDIANS BOUND OVER Charged With Taking Fre Water Onto Warmsprlng Reservation Freddie Sunipta and Calvin Queah pama, two Indians from the Warmspring Reservation, were given a hearing before United States Coinmis -ioner Oslwrn at this place last Tuesdaj morning, on a charge of conveying ami laving whiskey in thoir possession or the reservation, and after abrief hearing were bound over to the Federal Court at Portland.

The party yicluded the. highest officialsin the liarriinan servicd in Oregon, and was composed .of tho. following, in addition to Mr. KrutU, -chnitt: WW. Cotton, chief counsel for tho liarriinan lines jn the Pacifia Northwest; J. P. O'Brien, general man ager of the 0. It. A N. Co. ; Qcorgc W. Bosohke, chief engineer of the 0. It. t N.;anl R. B. Miller, of the traffic; department of the O. It. & . Co. With them were F. S. Stanley, president of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Com pany, and J. G. Edwards, manager ot the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company, tnd who is said to Imj also interested in the bin irrigation company. The party, was traveling in twov powerful automo biles, and made the trip through froin, Shaniko to Bond by daylight, teeing--much territory fro.rii which the railroad would draw tonnage whom the line isj ompleted. The threatened invasion of Centrab Oregon by other lines is believed. Ick lave aroused tho Hnrriman interests to, immediate action, and it is generally believed that this trip of inspection will 'e followed by the announcement of the, oeginning of actuat construction over. ne of the several rputea surveyed by ' Harriman engineers Into this section. With tho Chicago fc Northwestern stir-. 'eys extending into Malheur County nd the avowed intention of that line ta ross Central Oregon and with inde pendent interests active in the De hutes Valley, immediate action is nec ssaryby the Harriman interests to pro .ent this rich territory from slipping rom their grasp Mr. Kruttschnitt lft Portland last Thursday morning, ostensibly to inspect he Columbia Southern branch, and hL irjvate ear was switcln-d off at Biggs and aken to Shaniko. There two large utomobiles were in waiting, and Fri lay morning the party left for tt hurried rip out through Central Oregon. They cached Madras by noon Friday, coming, cross the Big Piains and being afforded n opportunity to see some of tho fino rops of growing grain in this locality,' They spent a half an hour at Madras, oing on to Perry Read's for lunch. Leaving Madras they went by way of the Little Plains, and on out through the dethodist Hill settlement, in order to eo as much of tho good - wheat lauds' Kjtween this place and Culver, ns was jiossiblo on their hurried trip. In tlio .fternoon they proceeded to Rond, .vherothey inspected a pbrtion of tho irge irrigated segregations of the B. I. t P. Company. . Simultnjicously with the departure of the Harriman officials from Portland for Central Oregon, General Superintendent Nevius anilJohji Stevens, suporintend nt of bridties, of tlieCorvallistt Easti n left Detroit with a part of engineers foi; the Deschutes country whore, it is said' they wero to meet the Kruttschuitt party. This phasu of tho trip londs olor to the story that the prownt trip is or the purpose yf determining at once ipon tho most feasible route into Ctm- iral Oregon, in order that construction may begin. Tho Corvallis A ISaatrrn which is now owned by Harrini'uh, 1ms for many years had its line surveyed lorosa thu mountains into Crook County, tho line eroding throuuh the ftlinto puss, which is said to bo the best and most feasilile route for a road across tho mountains into Central On-eon. Tho recent pnrehuso of that line by the liar- f " riman interests gave rise to the stonn that tho C. & K. would be cxtenda'P when construction was bemin, instead of building tlio line from Natron. Loca tions df the lino west from Ontario U&$ been made, and if tho I'oi vallis A , Kastern is extended it will connect with that survey at or near Bend. '.
