According to' John F. Stevens.
chief engineer for J J. Hill, Mr.
Stevena has secured control of the
Oregon Trunk line'a surveya through
the Deschutes -canyonand intorcen

he will build the railroad without de

tion. .;;" .-y;,

work on the road as contractors as well

trol of it for Mr. Hi and say they
will continue as contractors," at least
upon, that portion of the, line wherein
their present .surveys run. ,.

explained by the alleged purchaser, ; If
Hill really has bought ; it, however,
there can be little doubt that he platis
to run down throuah southern Oreeon
and California and into San Francisco.
Tnree ways of securing an entrance
into Portland and connection with the
SDokane,. Portland & Seattle have been
dlseussed by Mr, Stevens and the Porter
erotners. one -is oy Driaging the Co
lumbia near the mouth of thn . Dph.
chutes, another - Is by paralleling the
u. k. iqsxim jowa Mule flll
Columbia. s.nd a third Is by purchasing
the Mourtt Hood railroad, ! which has
been partially constructed from Port
land toward . and around the base of
Mount. Hood. . , . ,
. Huntington Hamad.
The latter plan has been serlmialv
considered' and it Is said that the nrn.
ence of J. Ross Clark, who with H. E.
Huntington, owns the Mount Hood road,
In Portland last week was caused by
this deal. ; The objection to it apparent
ly. Is that It would involve the expendi
ture of from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 in
electrical equipment, as that part of the
road at least would probably be oper
ated electrically. - There is an enormous
water power on the line but it Is said
it would prove very expensive to equip.
It Is also' supposed that Huntington's
connection with Harrlinan Is such that
he. would be tied un too much tn allow
of selling the Mount -Hood road to Hill
Interests, ; .

says he abandoned the idea of aviation
40 years asro. and is devotinir himself
to matters more important to humanity.
Regarding aviation, he said:
"1 came to the conclusion that there
was nothing practical la It. I was asked
by one of your most widely known
newspaper - Drocrietors to . make certain
experiments. I made elaborate prepar
ations. I built a model. With planes
and the best engine of the dayHi non
oombuatioa type. When the whole ma
chine was finished I put it on big
scales, Instead of going out In the open
air, - and set the engine going. -
"The weight of the thing pulled down
me scales until tne engine started.
Then the scales lightened, jusfao much
as the lift of the engine lightened the
weight. ' It was a novel way I know
quite novel in that day but it proved
to me the Impracticability . of flying
with the machine that we then had,
which was the best of Its kind. I made
the engine myself, to be. sure it was
right.' . . I
The' wizard said he was most inter
