Bpllevos tcclornatlon Engh noer Will Make Favorr able Report Upon his return from Los Angeles, where ho was called to confer with Mr Harriman, General Manager O'Brien of theO It. &2f. Co., fgavo the following Interview to a Portland paper regarding the Deschutes Kailrflad right-of-way diflleulties, whicit ilr. Henney, a He clamation Service engineer, ia conuni out from Waehfnirton. to assist in ad jtiHlinif : "Sir. Ilenncy is a reliable man," jsni' Mr. O'Krien. "While I do not think ho will discuss the matter as to whether the railroad or the dam is to he par amount. lie will undoubtedly see if the dam is to bo dispensed with And in this connection if cannot he made too emphatic that this dam is not an irrigation project out a dam lor raising power, and as Mr. Boschke haa pointed out, this power can be raised in other ways. 'Portland should bo vitally intercst- for when the Gentral Oregon line goes through 1 believe 00 per cent of the freight will come here. The road wo have at present surveyed it, will cost ?4Q,00u a mile,- and ittsnnexpen o.road that costs $25,000 a mile. I lis figure is forced up any more freight rates will be so hiph as to be out of the question. That is tho situation at pres- t with the proposed Corvallis & East and Columbia Southern roads. confident that no matter if we build rough tho easiest and cheapest way, o will not get a cent of dividend for over live years, and that wo shall do fell to clear expenses at tho end of that time. "When Mr. Ilenncy conies, I shall give him all the assistance in my pow er, and let him have an engineer if he wants one. Ho probably will.' for Mr Henney knows something of what the country is like." , Mr OrDrien then went on to state he clieved that, tho government had hard ly treated the company right at Wash ington, in holding up its maps and plans and in not giving tho attorneys n etlnite answer one way or the other. rue matter certainly deserved it he considered. Whilo Mr. O'Brien did not definitely so state, it appeared as if ho believed the final commencement of construction tho Deschutes river road would not e much further delayed. It was en tirely over this question that the con forenco had been called, and Mr Harri man hud some ddlnlto man in miti.t hen ho choso to assemble his lieuten ants arounu win at Los Angeles. It is generally believed that tho goysrnincnl i ... ' as recognized the immense Imnortanw. me cnirai uregon railroad would be to the country and that the dam Uro- jeev imgiii Uo minimized or removed en tirely. Tile original idoa of tho' Gov- eminent, it is said, was that tho lino .ould enter the canyon at a noint 100 feet over the river and that this height Bi.oum uo mamtuined.. With various private water rights taken up on the river, tho Harriman line would be ren dered impossible of operation, as no Hue could possibly bo maintained at that helghtabuvo th river. ed, siy th cnt ern am th ol ROAD'S FATE IH HEHNY'S HANDS il1Ja,n"y supervising engineer of tho United States Jtoolamntlqn Service, U in tho city, and is wrestling with the Deschutes canyqn dam sUT and tho Harrimnn surveys for railroad eaten aion into Central Oregon. Ho has been hero for two days, and has devoted practically his entire time to this knotty and extremely Important problem. Upon tho result of his investigations and his recommendations to Ihu Gov ernment at Washington will 'depend tho consummation or tho abandonment of the Dotuhutrt rivor, says tho Telegram? lutaso MMIeniiy n4vtnva tho Gov- bridge so mnca Up tho cm to m tidl to tho cdiuervRtloii bf thetcueral t tjUts f ktWttoil wwm, llnrriman will without tho elmds fit doubt give up tho proppsitiofi and f;ck nnAvrichtffof wav for tapping the into rior. This would be inevitable for the r.iHoii that to savo the dam eito at that nrtint tho railroad would hftVO to bo driven 100 feet above the river, and for t onnatrlprnliln nflrt of tilO distanCO it would mean tho hewing of a yadhed out of solid basaltic cliffs. Tins would miinilnn expenditure three Or four - times tho estimated cost of $4,GO0,0GO. Tint should Mnllenny decide tliat the present location can be relinquialied and new filings made nt some point nearer the head waters of the Deschutes it will bo possible for the Harriman line into Central Oregon to ,be gotten under way within a comparatively short time. It is stated that Reclamation Engincel Henny will make no recommendations as to the feasibility or practicability of the railroad, project, but will confine hipieelf eololy to' determining bow the Government's water rights may be con served, whether the reclamation work can he orosecuted alone established lines witii or without the Sherare bridg dam site. Official announcement of what Mr Ilenny'e recommendatipn will be wii probably not be available here until he has made his report to the departmcn sit Washincton. It will take him a week at least to go over the surveys, prints. charts and qther documentary evidence Hia decision may,bo expected any time thereafter. IJiirrlinan officials have announced repeatedly that they will be ready to begin construction within k week after the Government has approved the rail road maps. This approval might bo withheld some little time even after Hennv's report has been transmitted aud passed upon. M ,1 .. t TO INCORPORATE TOWN OF MADRAS A movement is. on foot to incorporate the town of Madras, and unless unex pected .opposition developes, tho plan will dotibtles be carried out without a hitch. Three years ago an attempt was inado to incorporate tho town, but at that time the number of residents was barely within the limit and the opposi tion of a few of these was therefore Buf iicicnt to prevent the incorporation. At this time Madras has tho required cumber of, residents, and to spare, and there is no doubt a sufficient number of signers could be secured to' a petition to meet the requirements in that respect The: county court has authority to in corporate towns with a population of 150, and -10 qualified voters residing within the territory seeking to bo incor porated must siun the petition. Tho matter of incorporating the town will be brought up at the nest meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, aud will be thoroughly discussed, . WILL SURVEY INDIAN ALLOTMENTS V. G.
