ING POINTS OF VANTAGE
Deschutes Canyon Not Apnlleable To

For Both Railroads
To By lid
Thp Oregon Trunk Lino trained nn-
other victory over tho Deschutes Rail
way Company in the confer for Goy
cniment right of way alone the Des
chute? River, last week, before the Qeti
eral Land Offico at Washington. The
plata of tlio Deschutes road which were
rejected is what is known as section
and tho decision of the Interior Depart
ment cites that.it is without jurisdiction
in granting tho application, in as much
as it litis already passed upon and an
proved tlie right ol way apLlicition of
the Oregon Trunk Lino over the con
tested ground, a distance of DO miles
from SherarB Bridge to Madras. There
tire Severn) points of advantage gained
by tho Oregon Trunk Line Jn this (Its
pute) territory, and Secretary Bullin
ger'a decision is ono of tho severest
blows the Peschutes road hag yet re
ceived in tho battp for right of way
along tho Deschutes canyon, since Por
ter Bros, began active operatlona the
um weeic in J my.
Tho decision, which is euMect to ap
peal to tho Interior Department, was
based on I lie admissions of both parties
that a railroad may bo built on both
sides of the river, while the main point
of the legal battle is to try to keep each
other out, but the Hill interests have
the prior right by reason of tho filing of
the first survey. Unless tho Harriman
people as a last resource can show to
the Federal Courts in Portlaud that the
Deschutes canyon is a defile under the
definition applied by the Federal Stat
utes, the Oregon Trunk people must be
luft alono to hold undisputed rieht of
way over the strategic sections of the
lino. For theIlarrinian people to un
dertake to show that a deiilo exists in
the canyon is a practically impossible
move, for at the hearing just closed be
fore .7 udgo Bean in Portland, Chief En
gineer Bqschke filed affidavits in which
it was shown to the court that the Des
chutes canyon is not a deiilo nnd that
there is plenty of room m which to
build two roads. In consetluetico of this
showing the Ilarrimnn people must
take the opposite side of the canyon if
they continuo construction into Central
Oregon.
The notion taken on the maps of sec
tion 4 of tho llnfriuiau road evidently
means that similar action will be taken
on tho maps of sections 3 and 5 which
till await consideration. On sections
I and 2, nearest tho Columbia liiver.
both loads were permitted to build oji
tho eamo Bido of thtj canyon, as tho
maps of both roads wero approved sim
ultaneouslyas it hns been shown that
at certain passes only one road is possi
ble on enuh side of the canyon. How-
over, in section 1 tho Oregon Trunk Line
is occupying tho West side of the canvon
and the Iluirinian interests are working
on tho East side. In section 2 the Har
riman interests tiro tied up by a tempor
ary injunction of the Federal Court,
which covers tho Iloreeshoe Bend tun
nel and several other po.'nts of conflict.
Tho decision of Secretary Bullimior
will givo added stimulus to tho con
struction work of tho Oregon Trunk
Lino aa,it lias tho right of way granted
irom tho mouth of tho Deschutes to
Madras, leaving tho Deschutes road to

LOCATE HOMESTgADg
ON THE HIGH DESERT
Ruph Boglne To Dry Farming Area In
Bond Country -Waeot throw
ing To Boom
Bend, Or., Sept. 8. What is in the
nature of a, record trip was made last
week by a party of landseekers across
the Cascades into the Bend country.
The transmountain trippers, M. A
Rjcknn), Patrick; Stewart and Glen Ire
land, eft Corvallis in a Studebaker car
iu tlip mprping npd at J o'clock of the
same evening had traversed the 150
miles to Bend. At 10 o'clock the next
morning, with the addition of J. N
Hunter, a local real estate man, they
continued for their destination, the
"High Desert," Southeast of the town
and by that evening were located upon
320-acre homesteads. No more rapid
instance of long-distance land getting in
a hurry has been noted in this section.
This is the first automobile that has
made its way over the high desert, as
this stretch of country is known, and for
many mites the driver guided it through
the unbroken sagebrush, directed by
Mr. Hunter, much as a helmsman
steers his ship over an unknown sea.
Tue nomesteaus taken up are on
wheat land, situated on what a estimat
ed as a g5P,O0P-acre area of dry farming
land, lying Southeast of Bend. This
section is at present greatly in the pop
ular eye because of its recent inclusion
in the new "J20-ncre homestead law, and
the promise of transportation, is expect
ed to boom tremendously all wheat
growing in Central Oregon.
YOUTH TAKES HORSE
AND IS SOON CAPTURED
Last Friday alternoon Deputy Sheriff
J. C. Robinson received a telephone
message from Sheriff Elkins informing
him that a horse had been stolen from
the ranch of Herbert Rideout, about six
miles AVest of Prineville on Crooked
River, giving tho description of the
horse and the supposed person who had
appropriated it. Upon inquiry Deputy
Robinsen learned that a person riding a
horse of the same description had passed
through Madras some six hours previ
ous and that ho was undoubtedly head
ed for the Cascade Mountains by way of
the Warmspring agency, He immedi
ately started in pursuit of tho young
man nnd came up with him nt Warm-
prings, where he was letting; the horee
rest, intending to travel further the
same day nnd evening. Itwnslenrned
that the young man's name was Victor
Trailor, aged about 20 years, and that
he was on his way to some point in the
Willamette Valley when intercepted.
rhe young mnn was bronchi into Mad
ras late that night nnd was taken on to
the eountyeeat the same evening, Sher-
ut fcitans meeting the party between
Madras and Lamuuta.
BARN AND PERCHERON
STALLION ARE BURNED
The bam of A. S.'Phillins burned to
to tho ground about 10:30 o'clock Tues
day night. Tho loss includes over 50
tons Of hay, soveral sots of harness, nnd
the $3000 thoroughbred imported Per-
cheron stallion purchased by a company
oi larmers in this vicinity about three
years ago. Mr. Phillips estimates the
loss at $1000, besides his interest in ti.o
atullion. There was no insuranco.
Tho origin of tho firo is unknown.
It was surmised that it niluht havo
started from slightly green alfalfa stored
in tlio barn, but Mr. Phillips thinks this
improbable as tlio alfalfa was pluced in
tlio bnrii over throt) months ago, and
says combustion from that source would
havo resulted sooner th nil thin (li'n.
.Mr. Phillips saw tho ilro almost nt its
stmt, but tho flames spread so rapidly
nun iy mo iinio no reached the barn
the flames burst from .the building and
there vvn nn ilmttnn o,.,. ti.n .....ks
stabled thero.
Tho loss is most unfortunate and
heavy upon Mr. Phillips tit this llmo as
ho had his Winter's feed stored in tho
building and had also rebuilt his barn
this Summer,

Tho decision of the court s a complete
victory for F. 8. Stanley, jesae Stearns
and their associates in the management
of the irrigation company. The suit;
was brought by Dreahler, who claimed
tho company owed him money on its
bonds and that the local management
had entered Into a conspirary to defraud
the Eastern bondholders of their interr
est in f.hp pQinpany. Judge Bean held
that the bill fjled by Oreshjer's attor

bad any interest in the company ex
cepting as an ordinary creditor and that
the showing did not justify tho foreclosr
ure of a mortgage against the pompany
