C OPERATOR! Wi ASSUR re NEW RAILmOAD KRlimClITT CALLED TO CONFER WITH CHIEF 01 DERRICK FOR ONTARIO Governor Chamberlain Says Harriman Has Promised to Build Into Central Oregon Immediately Important Con ferences Called Mr. Harriman's Views PROGRAM FOR CENTRAL OREGON. Central Oregon will be pencrated by a railroad, work upon whirh is to bcRin immediately. The route to be followed will, in all probability, run up the Heschiites river canyon from the Columbia, leaving the canyon at the southern extremity of the Warm Springs Indian reservation at the mouth of Trout creek, thence east .to Madras and southward to Bend. Julius Kruttschnitt, active head of Harriman's coast lines, lias been summoned to Pelican lodge. The result of the conference bet wen the railroad king and his associate will be to definitely determine the route into the interior and the immediate construction of the line. All feasible routes into central Oregon hiving been surveyed, work will start probably within the next 60 The Columbia bouthcrn will not be extended.

Harriman will build Into the central portion of the state, without further delay or parleying. The definite course, of the route to be followod will be made known as soon as Julius Krutt echnttt, who leaves today for Pelican T.ndce In response to a wire summons from the railroad magnate, concludes his conference. Road Extended. This much, however, is certain. The Columbia . Southern will not be extend ed. Tho route Is not feasible from Bhanlko southward. Hence, it will be Abandoned. In consequence, Harriman has turned his attention to the Pes chutes canvon line from the Columbia. There is little doubt but that within the next few weeks dirt will begin to fly In tho ravine leading southward where the 1 no will lie constructed un til the table land is reached at tho mouth of Trout creek at the southern edge of the Warm Springs Indian rescr ration. An Easy Grade. Along the entire route the grade Is easv. but the construction work In the canyon will consume probably double the'tlme necessary to complete the line from Madras to lifim wnere, owing io the smoothness of tho country, there is little work detailed aside from laying the ties and rails. Ten thousand people In Crook county alone will welcome with unalloyed joy the announcement of immediate railroad construction into tho interior the re Bdlt of the conference of several days duration which haS taken place at Pell- can Lodge between jir. narnmaii, nuv ernor Chamneriain, j. t: n nnou eral manager of the O.

The vast benefits to accrue both to central Oregon and Portland particu larly the central part of the state -through the realization of railroad facil ities, are so far beyond computation it Is probable that citizens of the Interior will give vent to some remarkable dem onstrations when tho news reaches them. While Mr. Harriman lias riven definite and conclusive promise that rail construction will begin Immediate ly Into the interior, and has already summoned his aides and taken steps to fulfill his Intentions, ho Intimates that there must be cooperation on the part of the citizens of Portland and tho Interior, or development may be re tarded. For Instance, during his conference with the governor, Mr. Staulev and Mr. O'Hrlen he referred to the Southern Pacific's Fourth street line in this city. Plea of Poverty. "Money is tight," declared the rail road king. "Financial conditions are far from having recovered from the panic of last fall. It lias taken ex treme measures to Keen th nes no lnr. Personally, I had to pledge securities worth J5.O0O.0OO to raiso monev with which to keep an eastern road from going into a receiver's hands. Hence. expending money on railroad const Dic tion must be done now and for some time to come with caution. "We shall probably ask for an exten sion of a year's time in removing our lines from Fourth street In Portland. To do this work will require an ex penditure of close to J800.000.

The rlgelns Is sufficient to sink a four-Inch shaft to a depth of 4.r0ii feet, although it is expected that petroleum! owing to the strong surface indications, will be struck at a much lesser depth. Within a radius of a mile of Ontario there are over 40 wells from which petroleum gas rises In abundance to tho surface. Houses in the city aro lighted from natural gas and It has long been a curiosity that a match ap plied to the surface of the water In the citv's sprinkling wagon, whenever th tank is filled from the city well, will set a trail of blue flnme circling across the top of the water.

Des Moines, Aug. 22. Before a tremendous audience that showed great enthusiasm, William Jennings Bryan last night delivered a power ful speech, the first gun of the na tional Democratic campaign. Mr. Bryan chose for hia principal sub ject the attitude of the two great na tVonal parties on the tariff question. The speaker was a guest of Gov ernor Cummins during th afternoon and was greeted cordially by the executive. After the meeting Mr. Bryan left for Chicago. Mr. Bryan's speech In full follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentle men In my notification speech Instated that, as the campaign progressed. I would discuss the question, "Shall thn People Rule," as it applies to the vari ous Issues Involved In this campaign. I begin with tho tariff question, be- -cause it Is the most lasting of our economic questions and the one upon which tho leading parties have most frequently opposed CRch other. Other questions may come and go, but ques tions which affect taxation, like Tenny son's brook, "go on forever." As tha government Is not a Lady Bountiful, with unlimited means, but merely an ' organization which must collect on th- one hand what it pays out on the other, the subject of taxation Is an ever pres ent one. We may discuss how much we should collect, what methods we should employ in collecting, and how best to distribute, through appropriations, th. money collected, but we are never far removed from the subject of taxation. Iowa has been selected for the presen tation of what I desire to say upon this subject, because the Iowa Republicans were pioneers in the effort to secure ' tariff revision at the hands of the Re publican party. I come amnnir them to define and defend the Democratic posi tion on the tariff question, because I believe it will eiomn-.end itself to them. That the issue Ajiay be clearly stated, I shall read you tho ?emocratlc plank ori this subject, and then the Republican, plank: Drmocratlo Tariff Flank. The Democratic platform says: "We welcome the belated promise of tariff reform now offered by the Re publican party as a tardy recognition of the righteousness of the Democratlo position on this question; but the peo pie cannot safely entrust the execution -of this important work to a pnrtvi. which, is so deeply obligated to the highly pro-: tected Interests as is the Republican patty We call attention to the slgnlfl- ; ca.ni. ihci mill uir promises reuer was post pot ed until after the coming elee- lion nn election to succeed in which." uic rvepuni'cwn iitinv iiiuki nave inv same support from the beneficiaries of the high protective tariff as It has al wavs heretofore received from them; and to the further fact th.it During years of uninterrupted power, no notion Whatever has teen taken by the Repab-s -lloan congress to correct the admittedly culstlrg tariff iniquities.
