CALIFORNIA THE GOAL
The developments of the prist
week in the railroad game as i
Is being played in Central Orv
gon indicate clearly the inten
tion of Mr. Hill, who is back
ing the Oregon Trunk Line, i
there has been nnv doubt for
some time past as to what those
intentions were. That Califor
nia is the5 goal doe3 nor appear
,ionger to admit ot any ques
ion, and accepting that as the
solution of Mr. Hill's backing
of the Oregon Trunk Line in its
invasion of Centran Oregon, it
is not difficult to understand the
bitter fight the Harriman inter
ests are waging against every
step in the progress of that
road.
Only a short time ago, follow
ing the announcement that Mr.
Hill was behind the Oregon
Trunk, it was given out thai
Madras was to be the terminus
of the present line under con
tract, bill the statement was not
even at that time taken . seri
ously by auj'one. Since then
.surveying parties in the employ
of Mr. Hill have gone to Bend
and begun surveying South
from that point. The Central
Oregon survey, running from
Madras to Redmond, , has been
acquired by the Oregon Trunk
Line and construction forces
put to work 011 it at points of
conflict with the Harriman sur
vey. There is . evidently to be
310 cessation of hostilities on the
part of the Hill road, but the
Jight will be carried on South
from Madras, across the state
and into California, the ulti
mate goal.
For years Hill has been cred
ited with an ambition to invade
California, the stronghold of
his rivals Harriman'. During
these j'ears Hill engineering
parties have scouted the iield
along the Pacific coast, looking
fpr a coast line into California,
but the almost insurmountable
barriers made it extremely im
probable tliat such a line could
'be found. , ,ThJ3ii -the Oregon jj
Trunk Line with its North
Bank connection awaiting it,
with its water level route by the
.Deschutes River to Cuiitral Or
egon and its choice of a dozen
.routes across that rich but un
developed e.ippire into Califpr
nia, oliered Mr. Hill the oppor
tunity, lie .had. sought, for the
realization of his, ambition, andy
without blare of
trumpet, the,
AVbrk was under way. And
those who have watched the
building of the Hill lines in the
Northwest, of which the North
Bank was a fair example, have
no doubt of the completion ol
the project.
The division of the Central
Oregon traflic field .so long1
guarded by Mr. Harriman is no,
small loss to the Harriman in
terests, but the invasion by his
rival of the California field,
where CollisP.lluntiugton built
up the great transportation;
anonopoly of the Southern Paci
fic system now controlled by
Mr. Harriman, jsahe fear which
atirred the Htirrijnan interests
to their, present -fight.'t Central
Oregon is rlyk in trnflio possi
bilities, but Mr Harriman has
.guarded it closely from all sides
-not only because of that great
wealth which he expected to
.taw "some dav," but because
ll! independent or rival roud in j
Central Oregon might prove an
opening wedge tp his greatei
tn-asttre box, I he transportation
monopoly ia California.
UP TOMR. HILL
The Portland Oregonian says
editorially regarding the recent
Deschutes canyon decision!
Hill forces appear to have
won u distinct viotory in the or
der issued by Judge Bean, ol
the Federal Court, yesterday
morning forbidding Harriman
forces Jrotn trespassing on the
CO mile right of way claimed by
the Hill contingent between
Madras and tho mouth of White
Creek. For numerous reasons
which have already been ex
plained, the sentiment of the
public has been with the Hill
interests in this fierce contest.
Mr. Harriman undoubtedly in
tended to build his line up the
Deschutes canyon, but he was
so slow getting round to it that
the public became exasperated
over tlie delay and naturally
welcomed the appearance of a
railroad builder less prone to
procrastinate. The decision yes
terday leaves Mr. Hill with no
further obstacles of consequence
to prevent immediate construe
tion of the Hue, and the public
will expect speedy confirmation
of the belief that its confidence
was not misplaced.
A very important point in the
controversy is touched 111 the
decision in the statement:
a. lid U IO 1UUI1I IV! kW Lil UJ
these roads, and it would seem
that each can be built without
conflicting with or encroaching
upon the rights of the other."
This being true (and Judge
Bean cjtes Chief Engiuer Bos-
che's affidavit in confirmation)
the defeat in the courts of either
ine, on the points just decided.
would not be a serious obstacle
to construction. The recent
agreement between the Hill and
theHariiman forces, by which
both systems are to use the
same trades between irortland
and Puget Sound, offers plenty
of proof that, if absolutely nec
essary, both roads could use
the same tracks in the Des
chutes canyon. The general
public is only mildly interested
n the legal technicalities which
are being raised by both par
ties to the contention. "What
the public. does want is a rail
road into Central Oregon.
SETTLING Xt HICHtlESEBT
r t
Bend, Or., Aug. 20. A large
region, that is destined to be
come a dry larming country,
and as such will be unsur
passed in Oregon, is, a section
of country a half day's drive to
the South and East of Bend,
tnowu locally as the "High
Desert" This land lies between
the Paulina Mountains and the
Fremont Forest Reserve. At
nrsnr, if is ?i RnntiA nf . hnnnli
grass conceded by stockmen
to be the best range now left in
the state. The land io nearly
free from rock and only a few
junipers are scattered here and
there. In many places water
has bepa found at a .depth of
only a few feet. It only needs
the plow to transform it into a
fine farming country. Owing
to its remote situation and to
jealousy of stockmen, it has
lain idle and been used only as
range, but now Bend real estate
men are interested, in seeing
that section settled, and ure se
curing many settlers' for it.
Many have already filed on
homesteads.
