By
the oikI nf the present week
m ire than 15i men win be encaged
in act tin l construction work on the
firm 40 mtlei of the Hani man road
Into Central Oregon officially known
as the Deschutes Illvor railroad com
puny. This force will be kept in the
field doing grading and other pre
liminary work until the remaining
stretches of right-of-way owned by
private persons or Interests have been
secured, and It is confidently ex
pected that this feature of the pro
posed project will be disposed of
within a very short time, says the
Portland Telegram.
That the Harrlman people mean
business can no longer be doubted.
As reported a few days ago, construc
tion forces have been sent out on the
line to begin work at once. As a part
of the equipment for the task an out
fit of six carloads of scrapers, dump
cars and other paraphernalia need
ed was laid down at Moro. Sturday,
and this week this outfit Is being dis
tributed at various points on the first
40-mlle section from the mouth of
the Deschutes river to Shearer's
bridge. It is the announced plan of
the company to K ahead with the
construction work with their own
men for the time being. It is the
further Intention not to let any con
tracts for any of the work until the
company has control of every foot of
right of way needed for the lower
portion of the line up the Deschutes
canyon.
Hurry Work mi First Section,
In order to show absolute good
faith in their promise to lose no time
In Invading the lortg-neglected coun
try, the Hani man interests win go
ahead until the 40 miles of pmd have
been completed. This will take sev
eral months, and It is estimated that
It will cost An the neighborhood of
11,(00,000, In spite of the fact that
this Initial Investment will be made,
it win not put the southern terminal
of the first link In the line frtto a
productive territory In other words,
this big sum of money is to be In
vested on the project without the
prospect of n cent hi revenue for
many months, or until some point has
li. en readied where a productive re
gion Will be tributary to the new road.
It is stated that this "gamble" Is j
being made with the expectancy that
the remaining AO miles of the road
will soon be extricated from the gov
ernmental red tape with which the
sui wy maps are now so tightly bound
and tied.
in addition to the engineering
crews and construction gangs which
have already been dispatched from
local Harrlman headquarters up the
Deschutes another force of survivors
is being picked up by Chief Knglnecr
Boaohke and they win go farther up
Into the Interior, probably tomorrow.
Although such Intentions are per
sistently denied by Mr. Hoschke, It Is
understood from reliable sources that
he Is planning to have his own men
work over certain sections of Dra
gon Trunk Line rights of way with a
view of verifying data which Indi
cates that the Oregon Trunk has
much more favorable locations than
Mr. Moeschke's forces have been able
to secure. This applies particularly
to the upper reaches of the two con
tending projects.
Beginning at about the no-mile
post tliis situation applies for the
most .if the remaining 20 or 25 miles
of surveys. The Oregon Trunk runs
up Willow creek nt 1.2 per cent grade
mid S-degree curvature, while the
Deschutes Road lines diverge from
the canyon at a point below the
mouth of Trout creek and cross Trout
and Willow creeks on high and long
bridges. This entails grades reaching
l.S per cent with a curvature of 15
degrees at certain points.
Him Over Rival! line.
The Oregon Trunk has a further
advantage as it taps at much closer
range a highly productive territory In
the Warm Springs reservation and
the Matolea timber belt.
The reputed object of the Harrlman
engineers In running over their rival's
lines Is to determine to a nicety Just
how much more favorable the Ore
gon Trunk Lino surveys are. if it is
round that they are sufficiently su
perior It Is almost certain that nego
tiations of some sort will be Opened,
up between the rival railroad projec
tors with a view of amicable settle
ment of the strategic controversy, ai
It Is admitted that It would be worse
than folly for both lines to be buili
Into central Oregon at this time. Por
ter proa,, who built the North Hank,
are said to control the Oregon Trunk,
hut as yet they have shown no dispo
sition to make overtures to Harrlman
or suggest any terms under which
peace may be obtained.
