The second notable party of railroad
builders to visit central Oregon within
a week left Portland yesterday via the
O. R A K. for Shanlko, and today de
parted from that point In autdmobiles
for Madras and th Willow Creek basin.
In the party are W. F. Nelson, presi
dent of the Oregon Trunk Line com
pany; L. I. Gregory and half a dosen
men representing Seattle and eastern
backers of the Deschutes river railroad
line.
They will visit Bend, Prlnevllle au.l
other point a, and make a thorough In
vestigation of the country and Its re
sources, with the purpose of reporting
conditions to the financial interests that
are behind the project It is said the
road Is being projected by western men;
who have long known of the latent pos
sibilities for trafflo development In
central Oregon, and the fact that the
Deschutes river Is the only water grade
tapping that country and affording a
level roadbed from Bend to Portland.
Some months ago W. F. Nelsoiv who
had quietly completed surveys and bond
ing of rights-of-way from tne mouth of
the Deschutes to Madraa, threw a force
of graders upon the right-of-way near
the mouth of the river and began con
struction work. The O. R. & N. com
pany, which had followed the Nelson
engineers and surveyed a line over the
same route disregarding me neison sur
vey. Immediately sent In a gang of
graders and made a feint of beginning
construction, but did not continue the
work.
A decision by the reclamation depart
ment that no railroad line should be
built within 100 feet of the river's edge,
stopped work by both companies. The
reclamation men advanoed the Idea that
the water powers of the Desohutes
should be conserved In order to pump
water from that or other streams for
Irrigation purposes In various looalltles
where gravity Irrigation systems were

up on a rock in the Columbia river near
Goble one night about three years ago
when leaving ror Ban Francisco. She
was subsequently floated by a wrecker
from the east, employed by J.' H. Peter

Steamship company, by which she Is

work on the part of the officers and
crew and the craft brought safely Into
