Fred S. Stniitcyj tbnlinger of tho bes
cliutea Irrigation & i'owcr Company,
who was reported by a Portland paper,
lxst week, to have had an Interview
with B. H. Harrinlart in New York, in
which th? latter stated that the Central
Oregon road would have to wait a while,
says I list the story is absolutely1 without
foundation in fact, and that lie lias not
made any statement which would war
rant tho publication of such a story.
Mr. Stanley says that while it is true
he uccompanied General Manager
O'Brien on his visit East, he did not
go to New York, that bo did not see
Mr. Harriman, ond lias not seencbitn
since last Summer when he visited the
railroad magnate at Pelican Bay, at
which time the promise of tho speedy
construction of a road to Central Ore
gon was given. 8o far aa lie knows that
promise will be fulfilled, and lie has no
intimation of any intention to break it.
It is also stated by Mr. Stanley that he
believes, and has abundant reasons for
tho belief, that construction on the Cen
tral Oregon road will begin just as soon
as weather conditions permit.
In connection with the denial of the
"brokeji pr(otnice" tpry. It Is interest;
ing to learii tiiat tl(p Harriman engi
neers who have been working all AVinter
in the Deschutes canyon, have com
pleted the final location of the line and
are now crofis-fiectioning near tiie mouth
of the river, where construction will be
gin, Mr. Roberts and his party, who
wore camped hero for a month or more
while surveying in this locality, are set
ting crogs-seetion stakes, which is a
very good indication that work .will be
gin at once. A story comes from very
reliable sources in Portland, that it is
the intention of the Harriman people to
have a large construction force at work
in the Deschutes canyon within the
next 00 days, Jiiid that the work will be
prosecuted all along tiie line, so as to
hurry up the completion of tho road os
far as Madras. From this information
and the source from .which it tomes,
taken with the fact lint the croas-sec-
tion Btukes arc being set, it is believed
that the selection of thu route to Cen
tral Oregon has been made,, arid that
the l'ne will bo built up the Deschutes. I

, from a Portland pWr, was not given
much credence at tho -timt, anu ir.
Stanley's emphatic denial has feet at rest
any doubts there may have been. The
following is tho text of Mr. Stanley's
denial :
"To the Editor of the Telegram :
"On Saturday evening your paper
published an article under the heading
'Harriman Again Breaks Promise in
which the writer intimated although
he did not cxpreeaiy say so that I iiad
made statements regarding an inter-,
View with Mr. Harriman in New York.
"Nabhe from your paper has inter
viewed lii'p in regard to the matter, nor
have I eVe'F.made any of the statements
attrtblitod toffib in that article. It is
true thai I went fcapt with Mr. O'Brien
but I dill not accompany Mr O'Brien
to New York. City, nor did I sec Mr.
Harriman during my trip East, nor has
Mr. Harriman conveyed the informa
tion to me, directly or indirectly, that
he did not intend to keep the pledge he
made to Governor Chamberlain and my
self last Summer regarding the building
of a road into Central Oregon, and I
have very strong reasons for believing
that he intends' to keep that pledge.'
"The publication of the article re
ferred to is not justified by any facts
within my knowledge, "and I trust you
will give this letter a prominent place in
the columns of your paper, as a denial
of the statements attributed to me in
the article referred . to. Yonrs very
truly. FRED S. STANLEY.
HARRIMAN MUST
BUILD OR STATE WILL
State Capitol, Salem, Feb. 2. A
whiplash fdr Harriman is said to be con
tained in , a proposed constitutional
amendment and a bill introduced by
Speaker McArthur today, authorizing
construction of new railroads by the
state and its, credit or by any county or
city or district the legislature may cre
ate. Both wero drafted by 0. E. S.
Wood olbrtlahd, following recommen
dations of the Oregon-Idaho Develop
ment Congress, which met in Salem last
week The two measures are said to be
backed up by ''big" and "substantial"
men of Portland, among them T. B.
Wilco and W. B. Ayer.
The constitutional amendment is to
be submitted to the people in November,
1010, so as to remove present prohibi
tions against the state's aiding any rail
road through state credit. Tho bill cre
ates a "Commission of Ilighways," of
nine members, appointed by the gover
nor, to prepare a plan of railroad con
struction, ownership, operation and fi
nancing, so as to supply the state' with
railroads where Harriman and other
railroad magnates have fal'ed to build.
Che commission is to report to the Gov
ernor nnu j the next legislature. The
ill appropriates $5000 for the work of
the commission.
