Chief P'ngineer Boscbke of the

"bled for work on tho l)e3chutes
road, one of the largest engineei
ing parties sent out of Portland in
many years The party will he in
charge of Assistant Engineers Hol
raan and Brandon, and were ready
to leave Portland yesterday. They
will begin cross-sectioning prepar
atory to the commencement of
actual construction on the l'ne.
Thpy will also complete the pre
liminary engineering work for the
two steul bridges across Trout
Creek and' Willow Creek, so that
orders for the material may bo
placed, as it will take six months
to have tho steel on tho ground
after the orders are placed.
Colonel J. B. Eddy and P. A. "Worth
ington. right-of-way agents for the 0.
R. & IX, Co., reached Madras last Thurs
day afternoon and immeJiately began
ying right of way for tho fiarnman
railroad into Central Oregon. They are
taking deeds in the uamo of The Des-
etiutes Railroad, which is the corporate
name of the lhimman line up the Des
chutes river. No contracts for right of
way are being taken, but the right ol
way is being purchased outright and
drafts on the1 0 It. & X. Co. aro given
in urn payment wnen tno ueeus arc
taken. The right-of-way agents are
offeiing a fair valuation for any mud or
improvements over which tho line
passes, and they aro meeting with very
little difficulty in securing the right-of-
way'.
Tin- rijiht-of-wav is being purchased
both North and youth of Madras, fol
lowing tho last turvey of the Deschutes
lino. This lino keeps to tho ton of tho
hill just "West of town, with a crossing
over the head of "Willow creek gorce.
bouth oi this place tight ol wav is onlv
being bought as far as the Dave Rogers
place North of Madras the lino follows
around the East slope of Agency Plains,
down Porter Spring canyon to Trout
creek and down Trout creek to the Dea'
chutco. Tho purchase of tho right-of
way along that route appears to iudicato
that this lino has been Anally selected
for tho road, and sets at re&t tho recent
newspaper reportB that the llairlinan
people woro negotiating with tho Ore

Tho railioad company is paying at

anil with a few exceptions there has
been no disposition to gouge tho railroad

BIDS CALLED FOR COUSTfiUOTIrJQ
NATRON.KLAMATH FALLS ROAD
Bids for the construction of 00 miles
pt tho Oregon pastern ilailroau iro.n
Natron to Klamath Falls have Deen
called for by tho Southern PaciHc Com
pany, about 25 miles ol tins extension
to be built Northwesterly from Klamath
Falls and 35 miles Southeasterly from
Natron. Bids for the Klamatn i-aua
end of the work were to be submitted
yesfciday, June SO, but the contractors
are given until Juiy iu to suumi mue
on the extension from Natron. The coat
of these extensions is estimated' at about
f2.225.000. Tho two extens'ons for
which bids have been aeked cover about
one-third of the distance between Jatron
and Klamath Falls, , and the calling ol
bids for this piece of construction is
taken as conclusive evidence that the
Vfltrnii-Klflmnth Falls road will be
completed at onco by Mr. Harnman
Tho extensions for which bids bav
been asked do not in themselves mate'
rially add to the value of the lines al
ready built, unless the line is complfted
The primary purpose in projecting
the Natron-Klamath Falls road was to
provide a better grado- for the Southern
Pacific by avoiding tho heavy climb up
tiio Siskiyou mountains. If, has been
understood that the survey of the Na
tron road developed a line which would
shorten the distance between Portland
and San Francisco and at the same time
avoid tho heavy grades over the Siski
you mountain road, and this line, when
comnleted. will undoubtedly become
the main line of the Southern Pacific
r -
between Portland and San Fiamdsco,
This line will also open up an immense
ly rich and productive region on the
edge of Central Oregon. -
Tho Oregon Eas ern Bail way, of
which the Natron-Klamath Fulls Hue is
a part, ran surveys North and bouth
and East and West through Oregon
about three years ago. One parly ol
Oregon Eastern surveyors, who were
working under the engineering depart
ment of tho Southern Pacific at San
Francisco, began a survey at Madras
and extended it on b'au;h by way o
O'Neil, ltedmond aud 'TSend, .to aeon
nectiira with the survey from Natron
across the mountains. The N.itrvm ruad
was at that time known as tire Natron-
Outario road, and was projected from
Natron across the state to connect with
the Oregon Short Lino at Ontario. The
surveys lor tno Oregon Jbustern auu
Natron-Ontario lines were known to
outline Mr. Harriman's plan to l-uild
lines North and South nnd East and
West across the stale, and thereby open
up u e greatest raiiroaaiess empire in
the United States.
Tho fact that the Southern Pacific has
called for bids on tho const) tu-tion oi
the Natron and Klamath Falls oxton
sions and that the O IL, & N. Co. has
definitely announced that it will call
for bids on tho Deschutes line
from tho Columbia rivor Southward as
soon as the right of way rtimbe cleared,
indicates that Mr. Harrimauis plan fyt
tho opening up of interior Oregon, at?
outlined by his surveys several yoart
ago, is about to be carried out.
INDIANS GET SCALP OF MADRAS B2YS
Tho Waruispring Indian b.ibcball
team lifted tho scalp of the Madras
baseball team in the third gam a of the
series played between theee teams last
Saturday at tho agency. The score was
6 to 2, and those- who witiiLSSed it puv
that Saturday's game was tho t-est tlu.t
has been played between these teums.
Supt. Covey umpired tho game and his
decisions were fnir and impartial.
Tho Madras team had won tho first
two gamqs ol the series with the Indians
but at last Saturday's gamo Was unable
to connect with enough runs to pull out
a third victory. Only two of the Mad
ras team crossed tho homo plate. The
Indian team was greatly strengthened
in Saturdays gamo by tho tetuiti
of three Indian pluyers from Chemawa,
whoro they have been attending tho
Indian pchool, and they put up tho beBt
game by far that they have played Ju

came tjrad of lishing and it is supposed
that lie was resting and amusing Iiinu
self sitting in the boat and Bwlnging
with the current. Whether the ropo
broke or what happened to let the boat
loose is not known,. but Mr. Kidder wo.&
startled to hear his son scream for him,
and rushing down stream saw the boat .
moving rapidly with the current.- It
was too far out for him to reach it but,
he plunged into the water and swam ti -tho
boat and climbed in with his sou.
In a moment tho boat was in the rapids
and striking a large half-submerged
boulder was capsized. Mr. Kidder call
ed to his boy to catch tfie boat, clinging
on himself. Percy was unable to catch
tho boat but caught hold of Ida father
and in this jiosition they went on down,
through the rapidB until tho boat struck
another rook and was capsized again.
Mr. Kidder was able to cling to tho
bo it, but Percy lost his hold, and bcing
caught up by the swift current, hp Wt4
never seen again by his father.
The current carried Mr. Kidder down
to a- point opposite the old camping

bank he became unconscious, and it was
necessary fdr his rescuers to apply re

As eoon as he had sufficiently recov
ered to be able to go, Mr. Kidder wont -to
tho Cove and told Mrs. Boegli of tho
accident, and the notified result nts of
