oreqon between that place and the rail
road at Shaniko, and tliut if the
equipment can be secured wit.li
out too great a delay, the service
will be inaugurated this Pall.
The plan is to put on one or
more automobiles between
Prinevllle and Shaniko, and to
make -regular trips between
those points, probably by way
ot Madras in order to take ad
vantage of the good roads o
western Crook, and at the
same time take advantage o
the patronage the automobile
service would tret Irom this
place.

A.M. WILLIAMS & CO which attended the operation of

inrougn urooK uouuty is
responsible for the idea of
establishing a daily service of
that kind between Shaniko and
Prineville. The possibility of
securing the equipment necssary
is now oeing investiuatech in
Portland. If the equipment
cannot be secured prommlv.
the project will be abandoned
until next Summer
An effort was made several
years ago to establish an auto
mobile line between Bend and
Bolter's, and about $-10,000 was
expended by the Central Ore
gon Transportation Uompany
on equipment and in building a
private roadway. The project
was abandoned, however, owing
to the failure of the specially
constructed cars to meet the
exigencies of rapid travel in
Central Oregon, and since that
time the question of establish-
.. ...
ing an automobile service
between the railroad and inter-
tor points has, not been revived,
until the rips of the Krutt-
schnitt party, the Oregon Trunk
Line oflicials, and the Harriman
party, all traveling in GO-horse-power
Thomas cars, showed that
such a service could be success
fully operated.

Traction Outfit Will Soon Be On The
Road to Madras
The big traction engine to be
used by the Central Oregoi
Transportation & Forwarding
Company arrived in Shaniko
Tuesday ufternoon, and as soon
as it can be unloaded aid set
up, the trial trip out will be
made. The six cars to be used
have been at Shaniko for
week or more, and are already
set up, but the engine was
delayed at Gold Hill by some
accident to the car upon which
it was loaded.
On the trial trip out from
Shaniko about 30 tons of freight
will be hauled. It was intended
itiirstto make the trip out
with an emptjr train, but after
the expert engineer sent here
by the Holt Company to run
the train had gone over the
roads, it was decided to bring a
load of freight, as he was quite
confident that no diffioultv
would be encountered in oper
ating the train over the road
from Shaniko to this place.
Quite a lot of grain has
already been stored here for
shipment to Shaniko by the
new freighting companj' and the
indications are that thev will
have all they can handle from
the time thev beain hauliiur.
The members of the freighting
companj' are quite anxious to
get the big outfit going, as their
best season for hauling over the
Shaniko road is slipping by.
The new grade in Cow Canyon
ms been completed, and ever'-
thing is in readiness for the
immediate operation of the
train, as soon as the engine is
setup at Shuniko. It is ex
pected that the first trip out
will bb made by the end of this
week.
II. F. Dietzel, of the Madras
Milling, Companj', was in our
city the first of the week, inter
viewing our merchants with the
object in view of placing his
lour on sale at this place. Mr.
Dietzel called at the Leader
office and spent.au hour with
us. The gentleman said he was
agreeably astonished over what
le saw in this country, and
suldj to all appearances it was
ust stioh soil as was at . Madras
and Agency Plains country,
and fully believed that inside
of ten years, the entire-country
would be, in cultivation, pro

ThevprjB8841 djsrjajjche's, of the
past week annojune tliat as a.
result of his trip, throughout the
West, and owing to. his un
bounded faith in .the; prosperity,
of the country, H. -Harriman
has approved plans for spend-;
ing between $78,000,000 and
$100,000,000 to complete, what-
he believes .will ,be .the best
double- trdck transcontinental.
railway system in the country.
His, plan contemplates the (Con
struction. , of a low grade,.
double track railway from
Chicago to the Papific. Coast at
San Francisco, Portland, and
Seattle, aud ito operation over
the mountain sections by elec
tricity generated by water
power from the Rockies and.
tlie Sierras. The completion, of
this enterprise will practically
lave the effect of adding three
single track roads to the f trans-
continental system. It is
expected, that 450 miles of the
doublja tracking of the Union
Pacific will be completed by
the plo3.e of the jyear.
Meanwhile -Central Oregon
can wait for its railroad, so far
as the Harriman interests are
concerned. Upon his return to
Portland from his recent tour of
nspection through Central .Ore
gon, Mr. Harriman talked very
disconragingly regarding the
prospects of a Harriman road
in that section, urging among
other reasons for delav in
Miilding in Central Oregon,
hat "seven per cent money"
was too dear ,to build railroads
with, and that labor was too
ligh. Aud on top of that, as
hough to emphasize his utter
disregard of the demands that
ire being made on him to open
ip Central Oregon, comes the
lunounceiiient that the Harri
man interests will spend a hun
dred million dollais in improv-
ng their . transcontinental
system. Four per cent of that
amount would give Central
Oregon the relief it requires in
ransportation facilities, but the
money cannot be spared. The
reason is obvious. By buying
the Corvallis & Eastern and the
Columbia Southern flarriman
uas blocked railroad extension
nto Central Oregon, and with
this country "bottled" it will
ave to await the pleasure of
he great railroad magnate, who
meanwhile will spend his mil-
ions in fighting J. J. Hill for
upreinnoy in the Pacific
Northwest.
