Government Gives Approval For Re
malplnfl Sections Of Deschutes
fload-aCppfllets With Ore
pon Trunk Une Only
Obstacle
The entire survey of the Peschute
Railroad has been approved by the Jn
terior Department, removing the prin
cipal obstacle tp the immediate PQH
ptrucHon of the Central Oregon road
The approval is subject to the usual SO
days time given to conflicting interests
in which to file their protests. The sec
tions of the line which have just been
approved conflict at points with the
survey of the Oregon Trunk Lino and
at other points with the Central Oregon
Hallway, surveyed list year by the Des
chutes Irrigation & Power Company
The latter company will file no protest,
but it is not known what disposition
will bo made of, the conflicts between
the Ilarriman road and the Oregon
Trunk Line.
In the meantime, men, equipment
and materials for construction are rap
idly being assembled on the first 40
miles of the line and construction work
is going ahead on that section of the
road. It is announced from Harriman
headquarters in Portland that construc
tion forces will soon be at work on other
sections of the line, also, arid there is
every reason to believe that the next
few weeks will see actual consttuction
work in progress all along the line.
When notice of the approval of the re
inalhing sections of the Deschutes line
was received in Portland, Mr. O'Brien,
general manager of the Harriman lines,
said in an interview given the Oregonian :
"We consider the approval given this
week as practically final. If the pro
moters of the Oregon Central would
give us a written statement that they
do not intend to file a protest, we would
cover the entire ground at once with
construction men.
'The first 40 miles of the route has
received a straight approval from the
government. The next 23-mile section
is atill pending, but we expect to hear
from it almost any day. The next 29
miles of survey conflicts with the sur
veys of the Oregon Trunk, and the final
50 miles ia parlly in conflict with the
surveys of the Oregon Central. The
former has until July 24 to file protests,
and bo far as we have heard, has done
nothing in that respect."
"Yes," Bald Mr. O'Brien in reply to a
question, "wo shall go ahead with con
struction just ss Boon as these conflicts
are disposed of. Borne work is in pro
gress now, and wo would ' not have any
bject in spending money for nothing."
When informed of Mr. O'Brien'e
Statement, Mr. F. S Stanley, viee-pres-
dent of the D. I. & P. Co. said, "You
may make it aa strong as you like that
we shall place no obstacles in the wav
of the railroad project. Why Should we
bject? it is just as much to our inter
est to boo that this road is pushed ahead
as it ia to any other interest in that part
of the state. Not only will we not nro-
test, but we will go out of our way to
help the Ilarriman people cet th (Wiro
cleared for action,"
Commenting on this the Portland Tel
egram says:
"Tills means that just as soon as Gen
eral Manager J, P. O'Brien has received
official notification of tim
the maps on this section he will hav
authority to let contracts for building
this part of the road. He may do this
or ho may undertake to beglit obstruc

wero being made to begin constrqetiop
work op the Deschutes Bailroad at a
point oil Trout Creek about a who ana
half abovo its month, apd the report o
ttieso preparations is confirmed by Stan

Sago Inrush Springs. Tho Deschutes
Railroad survey leayes Trout Creek at
tho mouth of Sago Brush and crosses
Mr. Grewell'B ranch abovo his house,
which is eituated dqwn qn tJie creek
Last Thursday ho was notified that
blasting would begin next week at that
point, and he was asked to movo out of
his house in ordpr to be out of danger
from tho blasts. Jle tays he under
stood that the people who notified him
have the contract for that work nnd
that they were about to begin. They
told Mr. Grewell to move out of his
liq-jse and they would pay him for any
damage to his property, and he did" not
require a second notice. Ho has pur
chased a tent and will pitch it at a point
where it will be out of danger, nnd move
into that, Mr. Grewell has about 100
head of hogs at his ranch apd he was
also told by the same parlies that they
would buy them
It has been known for a week or more
that a party of surveyors are working
in Hint vicinity, ana it was reported
that they were cross-sectioning nnd lay
ing out the bridge which spans the
creek at the point where the railroad
leaves Trout Creek canyon. These re
ports appear to indicate that the Trout
Creek survey will be followed, although
there aro persistent rumors of pegotia
tions with the Oregon Trunk Line for
the purchase of tho Willow Creek route.

At a meeting of the County Fanners

started to secure government irrigation
for this immediate section and a definite
plan was adopted for promoting the
movement. There were a number of
farmers from outlying districts in atten

was held, the business men of the town
being invited to attend, in order to se
cure tho co-operation of all interests

hopes to obtain, was one of the most

One of tho flret steps to be taken will

MAKES IHSrtOTIOII -OF
OREGON'S INTERIOR,
' if-
Sends Greatest pnglriesr To View Oy.t$
Po(lrogdffiSf pmplre-rTravelie;
ynrisf Assumed Name ' J
The belief that James "JMlill has,
turned n covetous eye an Central Ore"
gon, the largest rajlroadfess district in;
the United States, has been very much
strengthened by the discoycry that Mr.
Hill recently sent his geatcst location
and constrnctfon engineer to make
thorough tour of t.he entire territory:
heretofore known ns "Harrlman's Cen;
tral Qrcgon Preserves." This man, it,
John F. Steyepp, who made a national
'reputation as chief engipeer of the Pant
ama Capal, and wbq only recently rei
signed the vice-presidency of the New,
York, New Haven & Hertford railroad
to become Mr. Hill's ponfideni! rep-
rcsentative on the Pacific Cqast, and
whpm Mr. H'U regards as tho greatest
location and construction engineer in.
America-
Mr. Steyens returned to Portland last
week from a 10 days' trip throngh Ceni
tral Oregon. He made tho trip incog-r
nito, traveling as James F. Sampson,
and leaving Shaniko made a. compre
hensive tour of tho entire region which
might be tapped by a railroad, touching
at Madras, O'Neil, Bend, Prineville,
Roalapd, Klamath Falls, LakcvjeWt
Burns and y&lo, and visiting all the im
portant grain, timber, irrigated and ag-:
ricultnral districts.
That the Harriman interests are urn
easy oyer the visit of the great Hill em
ginecr is ehown by the fact that as soon
as his identity was discovered by tha
Harriman representative in Portland,
Harriman agents began to dog bis steps
in an effort to keep a line on his mover
ments. Rcgaiding the visit of Mr. Stet
vens to Central Oregon, the Portland
Telegram says:
For a considerable part of the time
that Stevens was in the interior of the
state he was dogged by Harriman agents,
with an O. R. & N. automobile. This
was principally true for the several days
that were spent in the territory which
is embraced in the Deschutes railroad
project. These spotters scarcely let
Stevens get out of sight bo long as he
was anywhere near the extensive haK-
dom which Harriman has so guccesa
lully kept bottled Up all theso(yoars.
"Stevens not on'y inspected the tonne.
raphy through which he passed with
great care, but he directed many of his
inquiries at various points where stops
were made to matters pertaining to
water rights, powfr eights, reclamation
projects and kindred subjects, all of
which have direct bearing ou railroad"
development or are closely inter-rclated
With such enterprises.
"The future of tho Oregon empire or
a battle ground between Hill and Harri
man lookg brighter as a result of Stev.
ens' present visit. And the fata of tho
vast nnd dormant region will depend in
a large measure upon the nature of
John F. Stevens' renort to .Tamn .1
Hill, whom he served so Withfullv and
with such brilliancy In the extension of
the Great Northern to tho coast that
Hill remarked, 'His work is ono of the
most remarkable achievements in Amer
ican railroading, the acme of engineer
ing pluck and ability. '
