HARRIMAN BRINGS
CONDEMNATION SUIT
Looks As If Deschutes
Route Had Been
Selected
cntctl near the mouth of the Deschutes,
botweon Tlie Pallea and the town of
Biggs. The Oregon Trunk Line is being
constructed by Porter ISros., W. F. Nel
Bon and V. p. Williamson, railroad con
tractors.
According to the articles of incorpor
ation of the Deschutes road," said Mr.
Cotton last night, "the proposed line
will extend from a point on the 0. II. &
N. near the mouth of the Deschutes
through Crook county and into the
Klamath country."
BUYING RIGHT-OF-WAY '
IN DESCHUTES CANYON
Assistant Ghfof Engineer Vlsft9 Mad
rasParty Locating Lino By
Lamonta Rquto.
Assistant Chief Engineer Chase of the
Ilnrrinian lines was in Madras 'the last
of the wtfck, -personally inspecting the
survey being made by his company
through this section. He spent several
days in this locality, going over the pro
posed route and spying out the country,
and Friday he lefffor Deschutes canyon,
where Ihree other parties of Harriman
engineers are at work.. Mr. Cha6e vis
ited this locality early in the present
year, making a trip up the Deschutes to
Willow creek and out by the Willow
creek canyon, and from this place going
out to Sagebrush and down Trout creek
At that time Mr. Chase's connection
with tho Harriman interests was not
known here, but tho present Harriman
survey up the Deschutes, which leaves
tho river at Trout creek, is doubtless
the result of that visit.
Tho Harriman party camped at this
place and m charge of Mr. Mills are
running their lino South by the La
monta route, practically following the
old survey of the Oregon Eastern rail
way made three years ago. Thig survey
crosses, tho mviuo At amoma ami
crosses Crooked river near Oneil. The
Oregon Trunk Line party under Mr.
Crane, camped at this place for a month
or moio, also ran a preliminary une
South from this place, but they ran by
way of tho Juniper Butte route, across
Opal Prairie, and which route would
give them a crossing over Crooked river
near Trail Crossing. That preliminary,
however, was only run about nine miles
South of this place. ,
It is reported hero that as soon as the
Harriman survey is completed on the
Deschutes, tho three parties working
there now will bo scattered along the
Oreiron Eastern preliminary, and locate
the lino on South to Klamath Falls
The Oregon Eastern was only a prelim
inary line, but tho party camped here
now ia locating South, practically along
tho old Oregon Eastern preliminary line
PICK ROUTE TO CENTRAL ORECON
The bringing of condemnation pro
ceedinca against flvo owners of land
along the Deschutes river for a right of
way for the Deschutes Railway, at The
Dalles, is regarded as an announcement
by the Harriman officials as to the route
that will lio followed in entering the
vast irrigated district of Crook county
and thenco into tho Klamath country,
says Saturday's Orcgonian.
The nrocccdintia wero begun at The
Dalles yesterday by Attornoy W. W
Cotton, general counsel for the Harri'
man interests. It is generally believed
that the suit is in reality a definite
statement by tho Harriman officials that"
entrance into Central and Southern Or
egon" will be made from a point on the
Columbia river near the Deschutes. The
mad will extend to Bend, its ultimate
objective point, according to Mr Cotton,
being tho Klamath country.
Five owners of land along tho Des
chutes river are made defendants in the
suits begun yesterday. Tho tract to n't
condemned lies nlon tho bank of the
river between White and Crooked rivers.
Ono of tho defendants is tho Oregon
State Land Board. Tho Deschutes river
extonda along tho Eastern boundary of
tho Warm Springs reservation in Crook
county.
In railroad circles the suit is also be

of tho Harriman interests elthor to

EXHIBIT OF HORSES
AT THE COUNTY FAIR
WANT OOUNTY ROAD
THROUGH LYLE CAP
StopB are being taken- to secure a
county road, through tho Lj'le & Brown
gap to tho Prineville-Shaniko road, and
a petition for that purpose will be circu
lated at once, in order to get the matter
ready to present to the January term of
tho County Court. Jt has not been gen
erally understood that this was not al
ready a county-road, but the fact is that
from the Lyle& Brown gap tothcPrine
ville road, the present traveled road lies
over private lanu, aiinougu veazierc
Brown threw the road open and permit
ted the public to uso it. It was under
stood at the time the road was" thrown
open that veazie & Brown woulu give
the road through their place, and would
furnish the wire and the labor for tanki
ng the new fencing required, on condi
tion that the new posts necessary in
building the fences would be furnished
them. This condition has never been
fully complied with and it is recently
rumored that there is dancer of the
road being fenced up again. This road
is the only direct outlet to the present
railroad point, for all of Western Crook
county, and the present move is for the
purpose of asking the county to do its
part towards opening up one of the most
important roads in tho county.
The petition also asks lor some
changes in tlio road across Sagebrush
flat, asking that thfa county road follow
the present traveled road across the
Stoliker and Tfotter places between the
foot of the hill and the gap. This road
is shorter than the road by way of Sage
brush spring, and is now used by the
greater portion of tho travel. Last year
60-foot road was purchased from
Messrs. btoliker and Trotter, across
their land, and this has been fenced off,
so that in declaring it a county road
there will be no damages to assess. It
is necessary, however, to have it de
clared a . county highway before county
road money can bo spent upon it, and
as it is a part of one of the heaviest
traveled roads in the county, the county
court will be asked to accept it as a
county road.

Nearly Drowns In Flumo
Frank Brown, who Is flumo tender at
the D. I. A V. Co. headuatc, had a very
narrow escape Irom death last Saturday
He was attempting to remove some
splash boards from the wasteway with
a long pike pole when the polo slipped
and plunged into tho water. The cur
rent there is eo swift that tho jerk it
Vavo the pole threw Brown off his bal
ance, and he started to fall into the
wasteway. In order to save himself he
sprang across onto a rock that sloped
sharply toward tho water, so sharply
that he again had to spring from there.
This however, had kept him from falling
into tho wasteway, but when ho made
his second lump he landed into the wa
ter just above tho hcadgate. Tho cur
rent there ia likewise terribly strong
and Frank says lie was helpless as a log
It shot him down to tho headgatos
pulled him under them the gates being
open about 2J feet and slammed him
up ngaiiist tho wire netting ploced there
to keep fish from going down the flume
From thero ho crawled out onto tho

INTRODUCING NEW
VARIETY OF .BARLEY
G. L. Paxton is introducing a new va
riety of barley in this section, the grain
being of a dark, purplish color, and be
ing known as Black Barley. Mr. Pax-
ton secured tho eeed from a farmer in
Baker county, and on March 20 of this
year sowed it on his ranuh six miles
North of Madras. Tlio barley ripened
two weeks earlier than nny wheat in
that vicinity, and when threshed, yiuld
ed 20 bushels to tho acre, whilo wheat
on land adjoining only yielded 5 bushels
to tho acre.
The Black Barley is boarded, but is
hull-less, and shells out like wheat. Mr.
Paxton says ho believes it is tho finest
grain for feed purposes ever grown in
this section. He has about 00 bushels
for sale this year, for seed purposes, and
is asking 5 cents per pound for it. Tho
seed ho imported this Spring cost him
in the neighborhood of 10 cents per
pound. Mr. Paxton saya ho is con
vinced that tho Black Barley is espijqj'
ally adapted to this soil and climate,
and ho believes it will becomo one of
tho big crops of this eectioti.
