Ilitri'iman, who is said lo pride himself on his resem blance to the great Napoleon, and who in easily tne most colossal limine in the railroad world today, was in Madias last Sunday nnruing, enroiite to duaniKo on ins trip ot in spection through Central Ore tron. With hi in -were J. P f . i . . t u urien. irenerai manager o; me llarriman lines in Oiegon, and Fred S. Stanley, president ol the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company, who have been pointing o.ut to the rail mud magnate the vast timb red areas, the large irrigated tra ts and the hundreds of square mil a of feitile plateau lands where wheat is grown, which would furnish tonnage lor the mug-desired railroad into Cen tral Oregon. Mr. llarriman and his companion's on the dip veie traveling in one large automobile, Mr. HairimanV wo sons and the remainder of the party in the other two autot remaining behind fora few days more hunting and lishing. The railroad king, the "man if myster) ," ihe man who jug tries railroad stocks line ;i Hindu takir juggles ivory balls. may be all these things in Walt Street, but to tho.-o who sa hi ui in Madras last Sunday, he appeared the plain4, courteous, liable and thoroughly uncon ventional citizen, who seemed to be enjoying his trip immensel', and vet who was keenlv ob servant of all that lav around him. Aslced to characterize liiin by one word, one would ay "inquisitive," for he never quit asking questions about the area, the pn duets, the popula tion, from the time his car stopped until it btarted again. He wanted to "be shown" like the veriest Missourian. Only once he digressed, and then it was to tell how he liked to hunt and lish. and to ask what kind of a'country this would be for him to locate in. He was promptly told that he was the kind of a "settler" this country needed, and when he asked what he could (o for a living, he was told that he could hunt and lish and build iailroads to his heart's content. Air. llarriman appeared to be agreeably impressed with what he had seen of Central Oregon, but his affability never reached the point of communicativeness on the subject of railroad con struction into this long-neglected section. Those who have kept closely in touch with the railroad situation in Central Oregon believe that the present visit of the magnate portends the immediate construction of a line into this isolated section, and they point to the fact that the imminent danger of an in vasion of the flarriman terri tory by other interests is spur- be, there is reason to hope that Mr. Iiarrinian'H visit to Central Oregon, and his arqiifiintaiic at first hand wiih the wonder ful resources of this gea$ un developed empire, will hasten the const ruci ion of a line into this long-neglected section. The tvjo sons of Mr. Harri man and the remainder of the party came tlnough Madias yesterday. JOHN A. ISHAM John A. Isham, an old and uiirniv respeciea ciiizhu oi lint- place, who died at Eugene and was buried at that city last Thursday afternoon, was one ol the early pioneers of Oregon, having crossed the plains vviih his parents in 1852 Although only seven, years old at thai time, he diove an ox team all the way thiough, beginning this early the career which was characterized by industry and a uesire to uear ins oart oi ine x burdens of pi. neer life. With his family he resided in Marion county until he was 22 years old, at which age he married Miss Cj uthiu J. York and moved to Lane Count', where he resided the greater portion of the time until 18Q8. When only 16 years old, in 1861, lie spent one Winter Walla Walla, and among his papers was found ail old notation made that Winter, stating that he shoveled in seven-foot snow a good part of the Winter, to save his saddle horse. Ten years later he spent a Winter on Snake River, but returned to Lane County after the crickets had destroj'ed his crop and orchard. Later lie settled on the McKenzie River, where his old homestead is still farmed Ivy a son, Ira Isham. Air. Isham moved to Crook Connty in 1S98, locating first on the Deschutes at Tetherow Bridge, and two years later he moved to the Willow Creek basin, being one of the first residents of the place where Aladrasisnow located. All of the first settlers of this section. five or six years ago, knew and were known by Mr. Isham, and for many of them he has ap peared as a witness in their final proof, because he was one of the few witnesses competent to testify to the early residence of the first settlers, at the period when there were few settlers in this section. Air. Isham was 62 years old at the time of his death, and he leaves nine children in different parts of the state to mourn his loss. His wife died at Eugene six years ago. At the time of his death he was at Eugene in the hope of being benefited, as he had been in poor health for a year past. One son and u daughter were with him. A fine type of the Oregon pio neer, Air. Isham was greatly respected and esteemed by all who knew him, and he leaves many friends in Aladras and throughout the county, to sin cerely mourn his loss.
