Central Oreo (if -: Company on Mercantile R. T. OLSON, Manager MADRAS, - OREGON i PresidentStevens Gives Interview PACIFIC & EASTERN BOUGHT Grading Completed To Madras By September 15 From Mouth Of The Deschutes Confirmation of Iho reports frequent ly published that it is the plan to ex tend the Oregon Trnnk Line across the Cascade Mountains to Medford in the Rogue River Valley was given Tuesday by John F. Stevens, president of tht road, says the Oregonian.' In building into Medford, the Pacific & Eastern, now owned by the same in terests that are building the Oregor Trunk Line, will be utilized. The Pa cific & Eastern is now in operation in ar custody direction from Medford for s distance of 15 miles, and an extensioi of 16 miles to Butte Falls is now near ing completion. The Oregon Trunk u under construction from Celilo to Bend, in Central Oregon. "It is a part of our general construc tion plans in Oregon to build the Ore gon Trunk railway through to a con nection with the Pacific & Eastern," said Mr. Stevens yesterday. "We would have no use for a short, de tached railway in Southern Oregon, such as the Pacific & Eastern. The Oregon Trunk will probably absorb th Medford railway and the entire road b known as the Oregon Trunk." On the Oregon Trunk Line the grade, it is expected, will be fully completec to Madras by September 15. Betweei September 1 and September 5 the cai ferry at the mouth of the Deschutes, which will be operated pending tht completion of the bridge across tht Columbia at Celilo, will be ready to be gin transporting rails across the river. The first 70 miles of grade are now ready for the rails. One hundred miles of steel are on the way and there an on hand ties suliicient to lay 65 miles o. track. Traeklaying will begin early ii September, and will proceed probablj at the rate of one and one-half miles t day. The distance to Madras is 11( miles, so mojre than two mouths wil be consumed in laying rails before tht "top of the hill," as the Madras coun try is termed, will be reached. Grading south of Madras is proceed ing rapidly, and it is planned to havt the grade to Crooked River ready foi the rails by the time the track is com pleted to Madras Steel will then bi hauled in for the big arch across thi Crooked River canyon and the worl pushed on toward Bend, where graa ing also is in progress. Harriman Officials Tour the Interim R. H. Lovett, president of the Har riman lines, has been making a per sonal inspection of the routo of the proposed east und west line acrosi Oregon, in company with J. P. O'Brien, general manger of the Harriman lines in Oregon, W. W. Cotton, genera counsel; R. B. Miller, traffic manager; Mr. Buck, locating engineer of the O. R. & N., Mr. Bndley, locating engineer of tho Oregon Short Line and George Lovett, his secretary. The party left the railroad at Ontario and went through Burns and Lakeview, and from there by way of Summer, Christmas and Silver Lake Valleys. The party arrived at Pnnevillo Tues day evening, coming in, from Klamath County, through Bend, und loft Wed nesday morning for Lebanon by the Santiam road. In an interview at Bend Mr. Lovett said: "I know of no reason for interrup tion of tno work now under way. However, clearly this is no town to dispose of railroad securities. If this countrv will nroduco traffic to support I railroads, I think we ought to build I them. I never personally have exam ined interior Oregon and took this trip I fni- tlm mirnnsn nf lnnWInrr into native V Htu V. . . . rJ " . . . conditions and getting acquainted with the country." "Particularly I wanted to get an idea of the route of our proposed line be tween Ontario and Crescent," he con tinued. "We have a'prelimtnary sur vey there. We may build there or we may change the line materially." At Prineville Mr. O'Brien said that the Deschutes Railroad will have trains into Sagebrush Springs, 14 miles north of Madras, by December 1, if the joint track which is being built by the Ore gon Trunk is ready by that date.

The hole is now down about 500 feet, and every man of any experience in oil prospectinjr who has visited the 1 well, has said that the indications are j most. favorable for striding oil. As a j matter of fact crude oil in small quan tities has already been secured there, but it remains to be demonstrated I whether oil in commercial quantities j can be mined. J. P. Robertson, a local business man, has lately become interested in I the oil company and has bought a good- oiticu uiui.il ui obucit. xie win assist in promoting the enterprise. D. W. Barnett, secretary of the com pany, states that the affairs of the or ganization are now in such shape that there will be no more stops in the drill ing until oil is struck or the drilling limit is reached. "Heretofore," said he, "a few of us have been supplying the money for the development work fr6m our own pockets. Now we are selling stock, and we have little doubt that we can sell stock fast enough to provide means to keep the drill pound ing away, until we have demonstrated whether oil can be found or not."
