of the Harrlman road. Thcso points of

Private power rights along the river,

likely to delay the construction of the

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

vey maps will probably be withdrawn,
leaving a clear field for Harrlman. That

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

tho struggle for supremacy nnd a fine
opportunity to exclusive control of right

c6urse, providing tho Harrlman mans

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." -

A. B. Estebenet of Bend was convicted

upon being arraigned, pleaded guilty to
me iimictment, and Judge Brndehaw
sentenced him to pay a fine of $100 and
