Promoters of the Oregon Trunk Line, which is lighting TIarrimnn for the pos Hcssion of strategic points up thoDes- chutes river canyon, must show the gov eminent that they mean business with in tho next GO days or approval of sur vey maps will probably be withdrawn, leaving a clear field for Harrlman. That at least appears to be tho present status of tho long delayed railroad invasion of Central Oregon, snys tho Portland Tele gram It appears that maps covering all the locations, conflicting and independent, filed upon by the Nelson crowd, have been approved by the Department of the Interior. With tho recommenda ion of the Secretary of the Interior ia a stipulation winch requires the locators to file a . ntisfactory bond and begin act ual construction work within 90 days from tho date of the formal notice of such approval. Nearly a wholo month 1ms elapsed since the final series of maps of the Ore gon Trunk were approved by the De partment. These mapa were for the 40 miles of survey below Shcrars Bridge, covering practically tho samo route as that located by the Deschutes river line, or llarriman projeot While the government lelt it entirely up to the etato courts to adjudicate matters relating to conflicting locations as between the Oregon Trunk nnd tin. Deschutes Railway, the first indication that the former is unable to meet the requirements set forth in the order ap proving its rights will clearly jeopardize its position It is a matter of record that the Harnmau engineers have done a vast amount of nrclinilnarv wn.lr which would enable the Deschutes pro ject to go forward immediately upon the approval of the 00 miles of surveys along the upper reaches of the . river wiuio mo uregon Trnnk litis not eyen prepared estimates as to what a road into Central Oregon along its proposed route would cost. This gives the Des chutes Ituilwav a strohe advantage in tho struggle for supremacy nnd a fine opportunity to exclusive control of right mat aro now in dispute, that is. of c6urse, providing tho Harrlman mans wincti are being held up by the Interior Department are passed upon In the near future. The Oregon Trunk crowd has been lying extremely low siiico it secured ap proval of its maps for the entire project, no Huiwjmeni oi what its plans aro hav NO CHANCE OF LOCATION FOR SCHOOL Since the recent election at which it was decided to bond the Madras school district for $3000 for a new schoolhouse, there has some aggitatlon of the ques tion of changing the location of the school, several sites for the new school building being offered the school direct ors Tho question finally narrowed down to a choice between the present location of tho schoolhouse and a tract Offered by J. C. Waymire near his resi dence on the Eastern side of the town. and the school directors, at a meeting held Ia3t Thursday evening, decided to make no change in the location of the new building, which will be built on the ground occupied by the present school house. NO 320-ACRE HOMESTEADS IN CROOK The Secretary of tho Interior recently designated in the neighborhood of 7,000,- 000 acres of land in Orecon as comimr within the provisions, of the 320-acre homestead act, and .permitting filings to be made under that new law. "United states Commissioner Turner wrote to tho officials of tho local land office at "The Dalles, inquiring regarding the des ignated tracts, and has been advised that none of tho land open to entry un der tho enlarged homestead act are in this section. The only lands in The Dalles land district eo far designated as coming within the provisions of tho act are lands lying in the Northern part of Morrow and Gilliam counties. F. II. Newell', head of tho government. Reclamation Service, baa been, in Port land during tho past week, while on hia, Western trip inspecting tho govern ment's irrigation projects. In an inter view given a Portland newspaper, Mrf Newell stated that the reclamation work in Central Oregon was beintj delayed by lack of transportation facilities, the govt eminent finding it too expensive an tin-. dertaking to transport materials to inter. rior points for big irrigation prpiecta. There are a number of projects outlined by the government investigations, but. none of these will be taken up until a. railroad ia built into these isolated dis? tricts. In this immediate section tho . government has made some preliminary investigations, and it is understood that the government has found a very at tractive project here, which will be uni dertaken at some future time, but this prefect, alone with others, will await the. construction of a railroad through Gen-. tral Oregon. "Projects in tho Interior of Oregon, cannot be carried out ,by us because of the lack of transportation lines," de. dares Mr. Newell. "To transport mate-. rials into Central Oregon is very expen- sive at present. However, I think them is great development ahead for Oregon; The passage of the water law at the Jaatr session of the legislature, defining watei rights and making filings safe, will da much along this line. Irrigation pro- jects of a private nature will bo ettcour-. e nnd capital will not hoeitate to. invest in them as heretofore. Because,- ' largely, of the poor laws on the subject of water rights, this state has been rather behind in irrigation matters." - MANY NEW BUILDINGS FOR MADRAS THIS YEAR SENTENCED FOR BOOT-LECCINC A. B. Estebenet of Bend was convicted in tiro Circuit Court at Prinevilie last week of selling liquor in violation of the prohibition law, the offense having been committed at Bend. After conviction it was discovered that the defendant had not pleaded to the indictment, nnd the verdict was set aside. A new trial would have been called, but Estebenet, upon being arraigned, pleaded guilty to me iimictment, and Judge Brndehaw sentenced him to pay a fine of $100 and serve zu days in ltul. There is another indictment hanging ovor Estebenet, for i similar offense.
