Judging by the comment of the state press, the statement is al most equally true with regard to all of Oregon. One does not have to go far to find the rea son for this attitude, for back of it lies a record of broken promises and iuuetirity on the part of Harriman construction forces, while the great empire in interior Oregon remained un developed because of the lack of transportation facilities. The "bottling up" of Central Oregon by the Harriman interests was a stock joke for the newspapers of the state, but it was a joke that had a sting for the people who had made their homes and invested their money in this isolated country on the strength of numerous promises that the Central Oregon road would be built. But for this "buttling up" pro cess, Central Oregon might have had a railroad many j'ears ago. E. E. Lytle would have extend ed the Columbia Southern into this section from Shaniko, but that branch was absorbed by the 0. It. & N., and the promise of a railroad from that direc tion vanished. The Corvallis & Eastern held out a hope of rail road extension into Crook coun ty, but the Harriman interests acquired that line, and that bope died. The passes from the South were controlled by the Harriman interests, and the bottling of Central Orpgon was complete. All but the Deschutes route. That is the best route into Cen tral Oregon, but also the m'os expensive, and as its cost was prohibitive for an independent line with only a Harriman con nection, it offered no menace to the Haniman dominion, prior to the building of the' North Bank road. Since that timet the Haniman engineers have swarmed the Deschutes canyon, .and the present baltle in the "Federal Court in Portland is to determine whether they suc ceeded in blocking, that pass 'against their rivals. The scopej of.fhe present ac" tivity 'of the Harriinau (Con struction forces in the Des chutes canyon is a strong guar antee that the long-promised Central Oregon road is at last to be built. But, even for this the Oregon Trunk Line gets credit, for the belief will not down that the menace offered by the Oregon Trunk is respon sible for the sudden .'and hur-' lied assembling of Harriman1 construction forces in the Des chutes canyon. It ,seems as sured now that the Harriman railroad to Central Oregon by way of the Deschutes canyon is to be hurried lo completion, but the question which every man !iu this region is asking himself jis, "Would the Deschutes road have been built for many years buttor the dangerous activity of its I'lval, .' the Oregon Trunk fLuie?" And looking back upon the Huniman record in Central Oregon dining the past for an answer, me utuiuuo ui uie iobi- ;dents ofthis long-neglected sec- . Wn is readily understood. Tho harvest season is on in full blast and the golden grain is being garnered in the Mad ras country. From nil sections come reports of yields in excess of all expectations, and 35 and 30 bushel yields of wheat to the acre are not uncommon. It line been an unfavoiable year for the grain crop throughout East era and Central Oregon, but the Madras country seems to have suffered as little as any othei district in the state. If this section can turn out such crops under unfavorable conditions, what will it not do in good years? Arestiaining order from the Federal Court stopped work on 00 miles of the Haniman road to Central Oregon last week, and Mr. Harriman's represent atives in Portland aie doubtless irreatlv atrerieved. But what about all these years when Mr Harriman was not stopped by any court orders, and the best he would give long suffering Central Oregon was a promise? It begins to look now like the fullillniunt of that promise had been delayed a little too long for the good of the Hairiman monopoly of the Central Ore gon transportation ftVld. At Ihe request of the Harri man attorney's, the hearing in the injunction suit brought by the Oregon Trunk Line against the Harriman railroad in the Deschutes canyon was post poned from Friday, the 13th, until Tuesday, the 17th of this month. The '"double hoodoo" of Friday-the-13th was too much for the Harriman attorneys, who will need all the good luck they can summon to their aid to win out in the Deschutes fight. It is reported that the heat and the rattlesnakes in the Des chutes canyon give the railroad workmen all kinds of grief. In one camp a aen 01 3o rattle snakes was encountered and the canyon is reported to be alive with4tliem. A rattlesnake is not a very agreeable bedfel low and it is known that they have a penchant for a comfort able berth if it happens to be a cool night. But snakes and hot weather will not stop the rail road. Antelope Herald. Enough has already trans-' pired to iiisike it plain that'Ore gon is likely to be the center of some feverish railroad excite tnent'in the next- few-vein's. It is a noticeable fact that while the building of paper railroads continues, these are intermixed with a very good proportion of Htibstantial railroads, such as are really desired in the slate.
