W. & M. A. ROBINSON & COMPANY
The Eastern Oregon Trans
Iportation Company is the nainn
of a new eomaiiv which is
A-
going to give this ooirhnuint
and surrounding country hettei
transportation Jacilitiea to and
from the railroad than it lias
ever enjoyed heretofore, accord
ing to plans which were per
leetHtl last week f r the
establishment of 'i road train
service for hauling heavy
freight over t lie roads between
I hi& place and Shaniko. Tin
new company is organized
local nin, and is baciced by
.sufficient capital to in mi re the
success of the enterprise, which
will be lauufthnd with full equip
munt within the next thirty
days. v
The equipment for the new
transportation company twill
consist of a large 70 horse
power traction engine and six
latge wagons built especially
for that service. The road
train will have u capacity of
more than 100,000 pounds ot
freight, or it will carry 2000
bushels of wheat on each trip,
the Avagons will be equipped
.with auxiliary engines to be
used ijascending steep grades,
and the train will make aboui
two miles an hour on an
average. It is planned to oper
ate the train night and day in
order to make the trip to and
from Shaniko to Madras in
about 24 hours each way. The
it-action engine will be of a late
improved pattern, such as is
used successfully for freighting
putposes in nther localities, and
both engine and cars are es
pecially fitted for travel over
narrow, steep grades. The
promoters of the enterprise
have carefully investigated all
the difficulties to be surmount
ed on sthe roads between this
plaee and 3haniko, especially
at Cow Canyon where the
greatest difficulty was expected,
and they are coulideut that the
traiu can be operated success
fully. Some work will be
necessary at Cow Canyon, but
only at one or two points.
The. immense amount of
freight hauled into this section
unnuulry, together with the
large surplus of grain this
season to be hauled to the rail
road, has attracted capital to
the proposition of furnishing
transportation to ands from
Shaniko to this section until a
railroad is built. It. is proposed
to greatly reduce the freight
rates to this point, and to make
this a distributing point for the
country to the south. Although
the question of freight rates has
not been finally settled, it is
Mife to say (hut wheat will be
hauled to Shaniko for about 20
cents per bushel, while freight
from Shaniko to this point will
be hauled lor about 3D cents per
hundred, a saving of 25 conts
per hundred on present rates.
In connection with the trans
portation tile cortipany will
build it lArgo warehouse At thin
place, and engage in the for
warding of freight for the tern
tory south of this place. It is
believedthat in this manner a
big saving can be made on
freight, hauled into Central
Oregon, as the heaviest portion
of the haul is from the foot of
Cow Canyon to Shaniko, and
that freighters into Central
Oregon ctm haul Much cheaper
and with mpre profit to them
selves fioni this point on.
The company has been Or
ganized and an order placed for
the equipment, and it is expect
ed that the oneration of the
freight service wilt begin within
thirty days. Lumber has also
been . rdered for the warehouse,
which will be built at once, in
order to handle tins season's
large crop of grain, the surplus
of which will have to be, mar
keted at the railroad. The
i .i
com nun v nronoses to matte ine
A ml I A
freight rate so low that'thebulk
t i . i.
oi tne irrain marKeiea at me
at the railroad will be1 carried by
them, as they can haul it
cheaper than the farmer can
afford to haul it himself. Inci
dentally, the cheaper freighting
rale on grain between this place
and the railroad will increase
the net price on their main for
. i- . . " ...n
me many iarmers who are ex
pf cting to pay not less than 25
cents per bushel for having
their grain hauled in. This
saving alone will amount tu
several thousand dollars in the
aggregate. ;
The enterprise of the Eastern
Oregon Transportation Com
pany is meeting with and de
serves the support and encour
agement of llm people of ..Chi
community. It marks a decid
ed improvement in our trans
portationjacilities, and will not
only mean an increase of live,
cents or more per bushel in the
net price for the surplus grain
crop of this section, but it will
mean a saving of a quarter ol
a cent per pound on all the
freight hauled in that way. And
in addition, as the road train
will haul about 2000 bushels of
grain at each load, it affords a
means for getting our surplus
jrain to market promptly.

An investigation of the explosion-of

Sheriff Elkins and the agent of
the Bankers' Lite, P. B. Davis,
and upon the reports of these
gentlemen the order and the
company, after mature deliber

disappearance is. a mystery,
there was nothing to indicate
fraud in the accident, as it
happened in the twinkling of

Cost of Construction Considered
Favorable to l.ts Selection
Thai Efarrirtian will construct
presumably by an extension of
the Corvallis $ Eastern, across
the Cascadest within six months,
is the opinion of J?. S. Stanley,,
who has just returned from a.
trip through the interior of tha
Htate with, Julius Krnttschnitt,
director of maintenance andj,
operation of the Ifarriman.
sj'stum, says thejouroal. (
Mr. Stanley was the origina
tor of the idea of taking Mr.
Krnttschnitt through Centra,!
Oregon and left Thursday with
.1 party of 10. including General
.Manager O'Brien, R. B filler,
W. W. Cotton, George Boschkex
J. Edwards and George Stanley.
The local men, according to
Mr. Stanley, were much surr
prised at the growth qf the
country in the past two years!
whileMr. Kruttschnitt was as
tonished nt the development ths
itountry had made without
means of transportation or
other facilities for the growth of
its trade and transportation of
of its products.
Mr. Stanley states that while
no direct statement was made
by Mr. Kruttschnitt it is his be
lief that construction on the new
line will be begun within six
months. The Corvallis &
Eastern route wirl be chosen
because of the fact that it is
now in operation to the sunimife
of the mountain, the pass acrosg
the range is easj' and the cost of
construction will be not more
than one-third of what it would
take to build down the Des
chutes River, the other route
mentioned.
Mr. Stanley states that mora
than 1,000,000 bushels of wheaE
will be harvested in the Agency
Flams and Haystack country
his Fall.
Mr. Kruttsdinitt left this
miug for the East. It is
expected that he will make a
report to E. H. Ilarriman con
cerning his Central Oregon trip,
and probably recommend for or
against railroad constiuction
into the upper Deschutes coun
try: Mr. Cotton said:
"There i& nothincr to snv
about the trip excepting that is
was a pleasant one. There is
some ot the most beautiful
country-in the world in that
region. In valleys hero and
there Central Orecron is finp.
But ir is very hard when con
sidered as a railroad building
proposition.. I am not at liberty
to talk about the subject. I
have never said anything un
favorable about Centra! Oregon
as a country, ami ImvA hwn
incorrectly quoted on that sub
ject by the local press."
