THE WAR ON THE DESCHUTES
That there is going to be no
railroad built into the Dea
chutes canyon without a strug
gle between the conflicting in
terests over that very advan
tageous route, is evident from
the activity in the construction
camps of both the Harriman
road and the Oregon Trunk
Line. But, whether the present
'activity of these construction
forces meaus that Central Ore
gon is to have two lailroads hy
that route is problematical, and
later developments must be
awaited before an answer can
be had.
The rushing of men and con
struction equipment into the
canyon by the Harriman road
may be duo to the menace of
fered by the rival survey of the
Oregon Trunk Line, accredited
with the support of James J.
Hill, but whatever the reason,
it is generally believed thut
this activity is genuine, and is
the result of a bona fide inten
tion to build the long-promised
Central Oregon road. On the
other hand, the sudden assem
bling of men, materials and,
construction forces by the Ore
gon Trunk Line in the Des
chutes canyon maj mean any
one of three things: It may
mean that Porter Bros., who
are the owners of that survey,
are making a showing at con
struction in order to dispose of
their rights in the canyon ad-
vautageously to the Harriman
interests it may mean that the
Porters, realizing the value of
their holdings in (he Deschutes
canyon a3 the gateway to Cen
tral Oregon, are going ahead
, with- an independent line or,
lastly, it ma mean that James
J. Hill has found the opportu
nity to realize what is said to
have been his ambition for
many years, the construction of j
a line across Oregon into the
sacred Qarriman domain in Cal
ifornia. And, many independent facts
considered in connection with
- . x '
the sudden activity of Porter
Brothers give strong reasons to
incline to the last-named the
ory. The most important of
these' is the recent visit to this
section of the greatest of all
location and construction engi
neers, Mr. John F. SteveiiPi
, known to be be representative
of fff.tlil). Mr. Steve)8 made
,a cbmprehensive tour through
Central Oregon, inspecting the
) wheat districts, the irrigated
section, the timber lands, power
sites and all the wonderful re
sources of the great undevel
oped empire which lies in inte
rior Oregon, arid if not signifi
,can,t, it is, at least a remarkable
.coincidence that within ip.dnys
,or two Vveeks after his return,!
nice a tuunaer doii out a ciear
sky comes the announcement
that the Oregon Trunk Line Is
rushing its construction forces
into the Deschutes cqnyon.
The hews dispatches an-
( nounce also that no orders to
(assemble construction crews for
, for the Oregon TriinU,L,i'qe were
, received until Thursday rriorii'
'.iUgnd Jtha.by. Thursday
.hfft-ljj$ bpata wer"e
loaded wlthjiev equipment
, bound over tiiti "North Bank
' road for The Ballea to be ship
J ped from there into the Des
Johutes canyon. That fact alone
Strongly discredits the theory
that Porter Bros, are working 'h
holdup game on Hiirri'u'iau.or
that they are going to build the
road themselves, for in either
event they would not for the
last two or three weeks have
pem.itted the Harriman inter
ests to intrench themselves by
establishing their construction
camps at strategic points along
the river. Any analysis, in
fact, which fails to show tho
hand ol J. J. Hill in this latest
move in the Central Oregon
railroad game is weak and un
able to stand the light of rea
son, and the more it is consid
ered, the deeper becomes the
conviction that Mr. Hill is be
hind the present activity of the
Oregon Trunk Line.
OUR SCHOOL AND CHURCHES
Madras is going to become a
town of churches and good
schools, and it speaks highly
for the character of people who
compose the community, that
these strong factors m the de
velopment and maintenance o
a high standard of citizenship
should be so geneiously sup
ported. The dedication of the
handsome uew buildinir of the
M. E. Church at this place last
.Sunday was au event in which
every good citizen ot the town
and district felt nn interest.
Another attractive church build
ing is in progress of construe
lion and will soon be ready for
dedication. The Madras school
district is erecting a comfort
able new eight-room building,
having bonded itself to the
limit allowed by law in order
to make the new structure pos
sible.
No one unfamiliar with the
financial conditions that have
existed in this new section in
the past few years can appreci
ate the difficulties under which
the churches in Madras have
been built, or the sacrifices that
each of them represents on the
part of those who undertook to
build them. So with our school
The district is carrying a heavy
burden of voluntary taxation
in oider to provide a comfort
able building and good educa
tional facilities. But these
things make for a higher type
of citizenship and for better
community life, and they are
worth all the sacrifice they have
required.
