Maw Voar Tn All ' "HUM J Ulll IdllliaO filIU IIUPHJ IUUI lu remark that the purpose of building the Oregon Trunk, was to aid materially in the development of the state, and that that development involved ihe invasion of all centers of production and supply ing such sections with needed transpor tation facilities. At the eame time Mr. IIiU, who has earned the reputation in the railroad wonu as tuo roan wno uoes tilings, ib most optimistic of tho future of this state and its development, which, he predicts, in the next few years will sur pass most sanguine forecasts. "With the possible exception of tlie State ol Montana," said Mr. Hill, "Ore gon has more unoccupied public land than any other state. Until recently there were many opportunities for the hornrseeker in almost any of the West ern Btates, but the public domain avail able to the man who is desirous of estab lishing for himself a home has been pretty thoroughly culled. But here in Oregon you, have thousands of acres of choice land awaiting develonment bv the immigrant' I really think you people do not fullv appreciate, the situation. Tho future of your state is most promising and you should be even moro active in inviting immigration. It is up to you to people your state. You have tho opportunities. What you need is tho people. Your commercial organizatlohs ar'o doing good work. It should bo continued aggressively. What Oregon needs is men to locate on its lant's and cultivate them. The disposition of the average homeseeker from the East is to own some land of his own and contribute to the state's production. That tendency should in every way bo encouraged, I would not discourage the wonderful development of the horticultural industry, for it will be a great many years before the supply ot such apples as j-ou raise in Oregon will exceed the demand for the product. "We feel that we aro doing our part in conti muting both to tho development of the state and tho prosperity of Port land business interests by constructing a railroad into Central Oregon and pro viding needed faculties for transporting to tho markets of tho world tho products of tho interior. I predict that within tho next two years Oregon will witness tho high tide of immigration to this Twohy Bros' coritrAptors, are pijttjng an army of 7(H) men to work on the trackage of the 0. II. & N. Co. between The Dalles and Deschutes for tho pur- pot i of removing curves and reducing the grado to a maximum of 1G per cent. The contract was signed, it was ascer tained today, just prior to Vice President J. P. O'Brien's departure tor ew York a few days ago. The project is one of the largest put under way for a long time, outside of new ponstruction, and will involve the ejninfijture of at least $000,000. Wt(lp jPt admitted by the railroad officials fit this tirrie, it is understood that the WPrk means' the preliminary and essential step tpward double track ing the company's line from this city to Deschutes, which distance will be sub jected to unusually heavy traffic with the completion of n branch into Central Oregon by way of the Deschutes canyon. "The line from The Dalles to Deschute? has some very heavy grades in places," said one of the men interested in the reconstruction of the road, this morning, "and according to the plans the new track wi'l in nO places have anything more serious than a 15 per cent grade, whereas the maximum on Ihe old route is 75. ftbr Will it be necessary to deviate very far frpftj the old track. The new grade will be ponetructed so that it can easily be double tracked to conform with demands of traffic that are bound to result sooner or later." The contract is expected to bo com pleted by April 1 and every spell of fine weather will therefore be used to tin best possible advantage. At least 700 laborers will be put to work at once and this numDer may be augmented .if tin men can be obtained.

FIRST-CLASS WORK' GUARANTEED Tho piogress of construction of tlf Deschutes Railroad up the Deschutes Canyon is being carried on very rapidly. as stated in a report of the State Rail- read Commission to the Governor. The report says that the Dewhutei Railroad In- jt the present time 3T miles ojf grade completed and has full laid 11 vo miloi of track, and it is hopeu to have tho line in operation by July, 1010, to a point 00 miles Eouth of tin junction with the 0. R. & N. oh the Co lumbia River. The severe Winter weather which hat pievailed during the past few weeks hat not hindered tho construction work, and Twohy Bros., the contractors, are of tlx opinion that they will be able to work their crews all Winter, which will allow them to coirtplcte their contract at n much earlier date than was at first nn- tiripated. Additional men are bein added to the construction crews all along the line, and tho report ta current that the one grent object in rushing tho construction of the Harriman Ifm to Madras is for the purpose of getting the material on the ground as soon m possible for the larco bridge which will span Willow Creek canyon just West ot Una city, which will be thS hiuhest ii. the Btate at this time, and the longest in Central Oregon.
