DoubleTrackRoad
To Portland
Increased - Traffic War
rants Improvem'ent
Within the next four or five
years the line of the Oregon
Washington Railroad & Naviga
tion Company between Portland
and Deschutes a distance of 104
miles and will be double
tracked and arrangements will
have been made to' extend the
second set of rails toward the
eastern boundary of the state.
It is probable the work to Des
chutes will be completed within
one or two years, but no defin
ite plans to this end have been
made.
Part of the work on the double
track, 16 miles long, between
The Dalles and the Deschutes
already has been done and will
be completed early in 1911.
With the ever-increasing vol
ume of business on the old 0. R.
& N. line, the need of a second
track has been apparent for sev
eral years. With the extension
of several branch roads south
from the main track the necess-
uy nas oecome more pro
nounced. When the Deschutes line into
Central Oregon is completed
iuHcient added business will be
handled over this .road to justify
the immediate building of the
second set of rails, it is believed.
If the business is not obtained at
the start the development that
will be given the interior por
tions of the state as a result of
the Deschutes extension is ex
pected to provide it in the course
of three or four years.
Constantly increasing trade be
ween Portland and the towns
of Eastern Oregon and the
growth of'the business from the
East into this city are consid
ered factors in the movement of
Harnman officers to build the
double track over the most-used
portions of the road as early as
possible.
It is announced that nothing
win be done by the State board
in the way of appointments until
after the Legislature meets, and
then there will be no appoint
ments made for political mir-
poses. Changes at the state
institutions will be made from
time to time after the Legislat-
ute adjourns, as the board be
lieves such appointments will be
for the betterment of the ser
vice.
SENATORS HOODWINKED
The State of Oregon hnd contributed
to the Government reclamation fund.
up to June 30th, 1910. by the sale of
public lands within its borders, the sum
of 97,860,000. The amount is now said
to be approaching $9,000,000. The re
clamation act was passed in 1902. It
!.contains a provision (section nine) that
within ten years 51 per cent of the ag
gregate amount contributed any one
state should be expended or aDuronri-
ated for expenditure on reclamation
projects within its borders. It is ob
vious that the Reclamation Service,
under this provision, inserted through
the careful foresight of Representative
Tongue of Oregon, would necessarily
have enlarged the scope of its Oregon
projects. The only way to avoid com
pliance with the law and the doing of
substantial justice to Oregon was to
repeal section nine. So section nine
was repealed, without a syllable or
sign of protest from the two Oregon
Senators,
Now, in the distribution of the $45,
000,000 fund ($20,000,000 being appro
priated by the special enactment) Mon
tana gets $8,000,000, Idaho, $7,000,000,
Wyoming, $6,000,000, and Oregon,
which gave more to the fund than any
other state except North Dakota, is
contemptuously shoved to one side with
a petty $925,000.
Thus we see what it costs Oregon to
send to Washington two Senators whose
highest conception of their duty is to
leave it all to Lodge or Aldrieh. Ore-
gonian.

Write-Up Madras
Continued from page 1
will be the first joint station for the
Hill nnd the Harriman lines after they
leave the canyon. Both of these
roads will be comuleted as far as Mad
ras within a few weeks, and with thnt
event, Madras will absorb much of the
terminal traffic that Shaniko has had for
the nast ten venrs.
Madras is a town of between 300 ami
500 people, neglecting the hundreds of
workmen who are. making this heacl
uuhrters durincr railroad construction
days. Because of this near-by railroad
activity Madras is just now a very
lively, bustling, and sometimes noisy
town. Madras has been incorporated
for alm,03t a year,' and sucli improve
ments ns water and sewerage systems
and electric lights have been talked of,
Madras has a flouring mill, the town
being in the heart of a rich grain grow
ing area. Grain is the chief agricul
tural resource tributary to Madras,
though the section is especially adapted
to root crops, and potatoes in particu
lar. Also some of the land of this sec
tion mav be adanted to winter apples
a w -
and other hardy fruits. There are oil
indications near Madras, and coal de
posits about twelve miles northeast.
Any quantity of the water power of the
Deschutes may be transmitted, to Mad
ras, the nearest possible project being
eight miles west. Water can be stored
above Madras, in Willow Creek, for the
irrigation of several thousand ncres of
land, and it is reported feasible to
bring water cither from the Upper
Crooked River or the Upper Deschutes
to the Madras countr,
