present activity in tho Deschutes can
yon. And, yef, this view is difficult to
reconcile with the belief that Harriman
would never permit any competitor to
build into this territory, without first
contesting every foot of tho way. It is
equally hard to forget Harriman's long
pcglcct of tho Peschutes route, his ap
parent partiality to tho Corvallis &
Eastern routo and tho persistent rumors
that it was tho route selected for exten
sion into Central Oregon, and, tho fact
that tho Deschutes road would rob the
Columbia Southern of the bulk of its
traffic and destroy the earning capacity
of onoof the best-paying branches of the
0. It, system.

Railroad engineers, like tho poor, wo
have with us always. Tho latest acqui
sition m tins line is a party of Harriman
engineers, who pitched their tents' in
Madras last Thursday evening. The
parly, numbering about 2, is in charge
of Mr. Mills and is camped on the flat
near the flouring mill, They have also
rented an office and are evidently in
tending to make Madras their head
quarters for some time, while prosecut
ing their work in this locality.
Tho party under Mr. Mills has been
working along the Deschutes, being one
of the parties camped near the U'Ren
place. They are not giving out any in

section, further than that Ihey will run

Work fln the Central Oregon railroad
survey between MadraB and Bend waa
suspended tho last of tho week, tho lino
having been located to a point a few
miles North of Bend. The lino was hot
completed into Bend for the reason that
the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Com
pany, which is promoting the Centra
Oregon railroad and having tho survey
made, has ample engineering data re
garding that immediate territory, jr
connection with its irrigating projepr4
and further work on the survey was
not deemed necessary at this time.
The Central Oregon railroad was or.

purpose of securing rail transportation
for Crook county. The purpose, as an
nounced when the company was launchr
ed, was to secure the survey and a right-

subscription in the county enough
money to guarantee the building of tho

and the depreciation in value of mutton,

tion of the state. However, the present
survey may loilow tnp route taken by
the recent Central Oregon survey, which
crosses Crooked river near Trail Cross
ing. That will develop in the next few-
days.
iiirce oiner iiamman parties are
working along tho Deschutes between
Sheiars and the mouth of Trout creek.
One of those paities, under Sir. Roberts
and now camped at tho mouth of Trout
creek, ran a lino up Trout creek to Sage
Brush flat. Tho party then moved down
to tho river, but it was reported at that
time that they were going to run the
line on South to Madras. This link in
the present survey has not been run,
but the Harriman interests own the old
Columbia Southern Extension survey
between these points. However, ono of
olln-r parties on tho Deschutes may piek
up tho lino at Sagebrush and extend it
on to connect with the line being run by
Mr Mills from this place South.
It is reported here, also, that another
of tho Harriman parties now'working
on the Deschutes, will be moved to
Oneil or Redmond just as soon as the
survey on the river is completed. The
fact that all four of tho Harriman sur
veying parties were put to work on the
Deschutes is significant of tho impor
tance placedupon that link of tho North
and South lino which tho Harriman in
terests nro now purveying across Central
Oregon.
So far as can be learned, tho Harri
man interests aio stqnring no right-of-way
along tho Deschutes, or attempting
to secure any, Rival interests who are
projecting a line up tho Deschutes, the
Oregon Trunk Line, have secured the
rignt-oi-way practically ,aii tno way
through from Madras to the mouth of
tho river.
Tho purpose of tho Hurriman inter
ests in centering their engineering forces
on tho Deschutes routo remains a mys
tery, unless it is accepted for just what
it appears to indicate that tho Des
chutes routo has been selected for tho
promised Harriman lino into Central
Oregon. So far as can ho learned, no.
obstructive tactics liavo developed, with
reference to tho Oregon Trunk Lino pro
ject. Tho Harriman lino leaves the
Deschutes at Trout crock and avoids
what would necessarily havo been a
conflict with tho Oregon Trunk Lino at
pointB abovo Trout creek. At tho mouth
of tho creek tho Harriman line is n hun
dred feet or more abovo tho Oregon
Trunk Line, and near tho point where
the Harriman lino gets down to tho Des
chutes again, tho Oregon Trunk Lino ia
on tho opposlto side of the river, Mean
while tho Oregon Truhk Lino has pro
ceeded unmolested to securo right of-
way down tho river, and 05 per cent of
it has been secured between Madras uml
the mouth of tho Deschutes,
All of which makes It appear that

are ready to turn over their survey to
either of the other companies which will
guarantee to furnish the desired rail
transportation for this section. Tho
promoters of the Central Oregon project
will not, however, abandon their origi
nal purpose until a road fnr this
is assured.
The drawing In the big Rosebud land
opening began Monday morning at 10
o'clock, and rich prizes in land await the
first 23 whose names are drawn. Six
townsites aro to bo designated by the
government and tho first 25 names
drawn will havo an opportunity to locate
their ICO-acre farms alongside, these
towns. Any number within the first 100
names drawn will be considered especi

A largo crowd had gathered at Dallas,
a. D,, to witness the drawing. Envel

piled upon an open platform and thor

To provide against any favoritism, two

piek the envelopes haphazard from the

W. H. BISHOP PROMOTED
W. II. Bishop, who has been clerk to
the superintendent of tho Warmsprings
reservation for a number of years, re
ceived a notico last week that ho has
been appointed superintendent of the
Red Lake Indian Reservation in Minne
sota. Mr. Bishop's friends will bo glad
to hear of tho deserved promotion. The
Red Lake reservation is a largo ono sit
uated in tho Northern part of Minnesota
on iced Lake, trom which it takes its
name. There aro in tho neighborhood
of 1000 Indians on this reservation, the
Indians belonging to tho Chippewa
U'llK'd.
Mr, Bishop and his family will leave
for Minnesota to tako up their resiilonce
as soon as the necessary hond and other
papers have been executed and riled
with tho department. Thia will require
several weens.
EXHIBITS STOCK AT COUNT YFAIR
The Baldwin Sheep & Land Company
of Haycreek had an exhibit of fine sheep
at tne county fair at Prinevillb last
week. This is the first time in several
years that the company has exhibited
its sheep nt the county fair, although
last year it made an exhibit of its im
ported Shiro horses.
The exhibit of stock at tho fair thia
year was said to be one of the best in
the history of the association, as far a3
the quality of the stock is concerned, al
thoueh less numbers of stock were in
evidence. Dr. James Withvcomb of -
Corvallis judged the stock.

of some interest to them also to know-

actly what wo have expected all along
and will continue to expect. The O. .t

country, unless somebody wants to go
to 'Frisco on the East side of the moun
