OF CENTl v e Great Fire Scale Continues 10 (IE OPENED Of i SITES 1h 1 ably within tho next 60 days. Columbia Southern will not be Central Oregon wfll be penetrated by a railroad, work upon which is to begin immediately, says tho Oregon Dally Journal. The route to be fol lowed, 'In all probability, Is up the Deschutes river canyon from the Co lumbia, leaving the canyon at the southern extremity of the Warm 'Springs Indian rosexvatlon at the mouth of Trout creek, thence east to Madras and southward to Bend. Julius Kruttschnltt, active head of Han i man's coast lines, has been ummoned to Pelican lodge. The re ult of the conference between the. railroad king and his associate will be to definitely determine the ioute Into the Interior and the Immediate construction of the line. All feasible routen Into central Oregon having been surveyed, work will start prob- The ex tended. Edwnrd H. Hnrrlman has uncork ed the bottle 'within which he has held the destiny of central Oregon ever since central Oregon's destiny hinged upon the advancement of rail road transportation. Harrimnn will build Into the cen tral portion of the state, without fur ther delay or parleying. Thedeflnlte course of the route to be followed will be made known as soon as Julius Kruttschnltt, who leaves today for Pelican Lodge in response to a wire summons from the railroad magnate, concludes his conference. ' Jtoad Extended This much, howevtr, Is certain. The Columbia Southern will not be ex tended. The route Is not feasible from Shanlko southward. Hence, It will be abandoned. In consequence, Harrlman has turned his attention to the Deschutes canyon line from the Columbia. There Is little doubt but that within the next few weeks dirt will brgin to fly in the ravine lead ing southward where the line will be constructed until the table land Is reached at the mouth of Trout oreek at the southern edge of the Warm Springs Indian reservation. An Easy Grade. Along the entli route the (Trade Is easy, but the construction work In the canyon will consume probably double the time necessary to complete the line from Madras to Bend. where, ow ing to the smoothness of the country, there Is little work detailed aside from laying the ties and rails. Ten thousand people In Crook county alone will wrlcnm? with utinl loyed Joy tho announcemept of im mediate railroad construction Into the Interior the result of the conference of several days' duration which has taken place at Tellcan Lodge between Mr. Harrlman, Governor Chamber lain, J. P. O'llrlen, general manager of the 0. R. & N., and Fred S. Stan lev, head of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power company of Crook county, tho largest private Irrigation project In the United States. Vast Benefits. The vast benefits to accruo both to central Oregon and Portland particularly the central part of the state through the realization of railroad facilities, are so far byond computation It Is probable that citi zens of the Interior will give vent to some remarkable demonstrations when the news reaches them. While Mr. Harrlman has given a definite and conclusive promise that rail ronstruetlon will begin Imme diately Into the Interior, and has al ready summoned his aides and taken steps to fulfill his Intentions', he In timates that there must be coopera tion on the part of the citizens of Portland and tho Interior, or devel opment may bo retarded. For Instance, during his conference with the governor, Mr. Stanley and Mr. O'Brien, he referred to the Southern Pacific's Fourth street line In this city. Pica of Poverty. "Money Is tight," declared the rail road king. "Financial conditions are far from having recovered from the panic of last fall. It has taken ex treme measures to keep things going. Personally, I had to pledge securi ties worth JB. 000,000 to raise money with which to keep an eastern road from going Into a receiver's hands. Hence, expending money on railroad construction must be done now and for some time to come with caution. "We shall probably nsk for an ex tension of a year's time In removing our lines from Fourth street In Port land. To do this work will require an expenditure of close to $800,000. If we are compelled to spend that amount In Portland this fall, It will seriously handicap any road Into the Interior. We haven't any too much money, and practically every state through which our lines run are clamoring, Just as Oregon Is clamor ing, for more rails." Governor Itftiirn. Both Governor Chamberlain and Mr. Stanley, together ' with Mr. O'Brien, returned enthusiastic over the result of the conference. If any doubt as to Harrlman's Intentions re specting central Oregon are enter tained, It Is not In evidence. "Harrlman will build Into central Oregon," declared Governor Cham berlain this morning. "He has given his absolute promise, flat-footed, def inite and without equivocations. He has said Immediately, means It, and hardly before we were out of his sight he started the wheels by sum moning Mr. Kruttschnltt for a final conference before the line Is definite ly decided upon. Within 60 days at the outside work will be started on the long-delayed means of putting the Interior on a rapidly-developing basis, Was Intending to Build. There Is little question," the gov. ernor continued, "but that Harrlman fully Intended to build this route last year. He told us that prior to the panic he had 88,000,000 In bonds Juet ready to float for construction work when the stringency came on vz course tnat placed a quietus on every plan. The promise he has giv. en us now, however, means a fulfill ment without dtluy of his original Intention." That the construction of a road in to the heart of a section rich In na tuial resources will prove a mighty almulus to rapid development, set tlement and productlqn, Is the view taken by Mr. Stanley, whose company has a segregation In Crook county of 300,000 acres -of land, 1000 of them under Irrigation and upon which nearly 1 1,000,000 has already been expended. "There Is little question that Har riman Intends building up the Des chutes canyon, coming onto the ta ble land at the mouth of Trout creek so as to tap the wheat raising section of the Agency Plains, then into Mad ras and southward to Bend. He In tlmated as much and I think the conference with Mr. Kruttschnltt will result In a definite announcement.

Members of the Frontier day com. mittee say they know nothing about the affair one way or the other. It is known that Indians visiting Cheyenne In the past have expressed a desire to enjoy their tribal feast of hot dog, but have always been pre vented. Young Sitting Bull, who will be In charge of the band of warriors, squaws and pappooses coming to Cheyenne, next week, has assured thn Humane people and the Frontier committee that there will be no cruelty. The young chief says eating dogs Is no worse than white people eating chickens, rabbits and other animals and for himself he prefers a nice fat dog to any meat eaten by the pale faces. Tho dojs will be shot or knocked In the head, and thrown Into the boiling water. After the hides have loosened the carcasses will be taken out and the hides skinned off and the bodies put back Into the water- and left there until thoroughly cooked.
