CENTRAL OREGON
MAN
AND HARRI-
Central Oregon's sympathies
are plainly alligned with ihe
interests of the Oregon Tiunk
Line in the fight for right-of-way
up the Deschutes canyon.
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.
