OREGON STATE HEWS
Interesting Happenings From
All Parts of the State.
Will Iluild Itallroad at Once.
Pqrtlaad Barring unexpected de
lays in securing a continuous right
of way, bids tor the construction ot
the Deschutes line into Central Ore
gon will be naked by Harrlman with
in 30 days. The only obstacle that
prevents the immediate construction
of the Central Oregon road is the
adjustment of right of way ques
tions with power companies operat
ing on the Deschutes river. The
railroad company already has se
cured rights of way to 70 per cent
of the 120 miles to be traversed by
the proposed road. An early and
satisfactory adjustment of pending
right of way probler.-s covering the
remainder of the distanco is be
lieved more than probable without
reporting to condemnation proceed
ings In the courts.
Cut Settler's Pence.
Bend More than half a mile of
wire fence surroundlr.g the recently j
acquired homestead of li. C. Har
ney has been cut, presumably by
cattlemen, allowing cattle to enter

noy h.:d been absent for several days j
with a surveying party in the moun- :
tains, and upon his return found a I
large portion of the fence about his

of the parties concerned has been ;

tie credence In the report that K. J.
Perteus, manager of the Rogue
River Mining & Development Coin-
pany, Is dead, having received the
assurance that he Uvea.
Latj developments in the case are
to the effect that Porteus left West
Fork on the day of his mysterious
dlsappearance in company with a
woman, both of whom bought tick
cut to Portland. It is not thought,
however, that they intended to go to
Portland, but simply purchased tick
ets In an eTort to elude suspicion.
