Agree To Quit Fiptiilg
NO UNDERSTANDING AS
TO DIVISION OF TERRITORY
Right Of Way Difficulties Woi Subjoct
Of Conference Expensive
Construction Work
No agreement as to what Central Or
egon points ahull be tojehed or what
sections shall be Eerveu by eitheHin'e ia
contained in the compact, concluu.eu.De
tween the Oregon "runk Lino and Dea
chutes Railway Company concerning
right-of'.way conflicts, according to both
parties to the, under.tnnding.
The agreement deals wholly with
right-of way controversies, most of whicl
occurred before either route touched the
tonnage-.producing territory ol the state's
interior and does not include a division
of territory. The principal conflict after
leaving the conyon began six or eight
miles south of Madras, where the two
lines came together on the plains and
continued mote or less so to Crooked
River crost-ing, the Harriman road to go
on the west of the Hill road. Crooked
River Canyon is to be crossed over the
same bridge.
Following the settlement of these
points, John F. Stevens, president of the
Oregon Trunk Line, yesterday consented
to make the first definite statement of
construction plans of the Oregon Trunk
Line south. of Mat'ras.
"The Oregon Trunk Line will be built
as far south ns the center of Crook Coun
ty," said Mr. Stevens, "but as to beyond
there I am not in a position to say de
finitely at this time, except that I know
that we are not going to California.
"In Central Oregon the railroad busi'
ness derived from the fanning commun
ities is bound to be light for a time.
The country cannot he developed all at
once, but I am in hopes that by the time
. . it . ...
tno railroad reaches the timbered area
large mills will have been established
and already cutting timber. There iB
always a good market for yellow pine
lumber."
When asked when the Oregon Trunk
Line wo.uld be operating trains into Cen
tral Oregon, Mr. Stevens sasd that he
hoped it would be early next Fall, but
that he could not make a definite prom
ise, as mucn ol tlie work yet to be none
is very heavy.
Mr. Stevens' assertion regarding the
extension of the road beyond Madras is
an authoritative one concerning the
subject alerady definitely indicated.
Kight-of-way men have been at work
for weeks between Madras and Bend and
it is known that practically all the nec
essary lands have been acquired. Grad
ers have been nt work south of Crooked

Stevens, will have only one other count

mere is a steel arch over a canyon on
the Victoria Nyanza route in A'frica that
is very similar. The Canadian Pacific,
in its crossing of Stony Creek in the
Selklrks, has a bridge that in some par
ticulare, but not all. is similar. The
8tony Creek bridge crosses over the
water at a height of about, 300 feet, but
the canyon is "V" shaped, and there is
a steel approach to the arch on each side
The Crooked Kivcr arch will spring at
both sides from perpendicular roc
walls and span the river at a height of
about 380 feet. It will be one of the
highest arch bridges in the world. This
arch will have to be built out from each
side of the canyon to the meeting point
as the canyon is too deep to permit the
use of false work. 'The span will be 320
feet long.

PRESIDENT STEVENS RE
TURNS FROM THE EAST
Portland Telegram
"I feel very sure Congress will pas
the bill granting us. permission, to bridge
the Columbia River for connections witl
the North Bank road," said President
John F Stevens, of the Oregon Trunk
this morning. He has just returned
from a month's visit in Washington,
New Youk, Chicago and other Eastern
cities. "We were obliged ton?k Congress
for permission," he said, "because we
must cross a navigable stream separat
ing two states, but. the bill is in the
hands of the committee, and wo look for
a favorable reportly nnd an early pas
sage thereafter.
"We are rushing alt our work ahead
with all possible dispatch. The plans
for the bridge aro now being prepared
by Engineer Ralph Modjeska. I had a
onference with him a few days ago, and
he is making good headway. As to
the cost of the' bridge, I can't say. It
may cost SI, 000,000, maybe more, may-
bo less. It is impossible to announce
ust when we shall be ready to com
mence building the structure, but it will
bo given the same dispatch that nil our
other work s receiving."
ABked to specify some approximate
date for the completion of the Oregon
Trunk into Madras, President Stevens
remarked:
"I wish I could. I know the people
of Oregon are interested in this question,
hut the best answer I can give is that
Porter Brothers will drivo the line into
the interior to the proposed terminus
ust as rapidly as their equipment and
men can do so. They have more than
J500 men at work now, and as everybody
knows, the weather has been unfavor
able for rapid progress. Another thing
that mdst be considered is the fact that
we havo a great deal of vjory heavy con
struction in the 109 miles of road we are
building."
President StovenB is hopeful of having
the rond finiihed to Madras along in the
Summer, but ho frankly admitted that
no ditto could bo Bet at this time.
Cordial in the extremo and affable
enough on all questions not pertaining
to undeveloped plans, President Stevens
evaded or denied pqint-ank a number
of questions ilung at him,

Many Suspected Violators 6 J The" LaV
Tokori To Prlnevllle or Ar-ralgnmont
Madras has experienced quite a no
torious clean-up in the way of illegal sel
ling of Booze and gambling, and of the
hold-up fraternity. Sheriff Elkina and
Deputy Sheriff Cadle arrived in town
Tuesday evening and proceeded to locate,
and place under arrest several men that
have been under BUBplcion of violating"
the law in different ways.
Two men commonly known as"Smok
ey" Rice, and "Redy" Bryan, Saturday'
evenih'g got into a scuffle wtih a man bv
the name of Morris, a blacksmith work-,
ing for Tucker and Culp, and relieved
him of his watch. The effair was o(
course planned by the two, and came
out quite successfully. Both men were
captured bv. Sheriff Elkins and were
identified by Morris.
Two other professional gamblers were
also taken into custody, their names
heing Mason and Fuller.
There were twelve in all taken out
yesterday, including the proprietors of
the several "soft" drink parlors locat
ed here, against wtiom there ie said to
be evidence. Two more arrests and"
several more witnesses were taken to'
Prineville today.
SPRINGS MAY BE SET
ASIDE FOR RESORT
Washington, Jan. 19. Representative.
Ellis today recommended to Secretary
Ballinger that the nine warm springs on
the Warm Spring Indian Reservation
be set apart as a resort, so that a sana
torium may be ercted for tib fpsneptj
of those desiring .o make use of thjp
springs. These springs will be readily,
accessible as Eoon as the, railroads tire
built along the Deschutes River. ., (
The secretary was favorably imprssea(
with the idea, and asked Mr. Ellis to
iay the matter before, the Indian Com
missioner for his views. He will do so
when Comlssioner Valentine recovers
from his illness. It is the plan that sev
eral sections on which the springs are
located be cut out of the Indian Reser
vation, and leased to private parties, the
Indians to be iecom.p,ensed in some way
to be determined later.
THESE STOCKMEN
TAKE NO NEWSPAPERS
In offering their pleas of guilty in the.
United States. Court vesterdav. three
Prineville citizens informed Commis
sioner Cannon that they did not take the
newspapers and had never heard that
any one had ,been fined in Oregon for
surrounding the public land with wire
fences. . ,
The citizens who threw themselves on
the mercy of the court were 0. J. Hous
ton, J. J. Ferguesoji and Qcar Faught.
Judge Cannon pointed out that they
had profited enough from the exclusive
use of the lands to pay annual subscrip
tions to the lending newspapors of Ore
gon for the rest of their natural lives,
and imposed a Che of $100 oaoh.
Attorneys for tho defondante, after a
consultation, with thqir clients, decided
not tp go to the expense of a trial of the
cases.
