HILL BACKS ROAD.
C onstruction of O regon T runk Up the

Portland, Aug. 17.— U ncertainty a
to the actual force behind the Oregon
Trunk was removed when John F.
Stevens made the announcement that
he had acquired a controlling interest
in the project, which, in its execution
is to be financed by J . J. H ill, person
ally. The acquisition of this property
by Mr. Stevens and his a s s o c ia te and
the identification of Mr. Hill w ith it
are of m ajor importance to the railroad
situation in this state. It is regarded
as the initial step by Hill in his in
vasion of C entral Oregon and the
eventual building of a railroad to San
Franciscoo. Subsequent developments
resulting from H ill’s invasion of Ore
gon are expected m aterially to a lte r
the railroad map of the state.
“ On being asked several days ago if
I had any interest in the Oregon Trunk
or if 1 represented any railroads that
were interested, 1 said no, and the
la tte r statem en t still holds good,’’ said
Mr. Stevens.
“ Since then, however, I have ac
quired a controlling interest in the
project, have all necessary financial a r
rangem ents completed, and the road
will be built as fast as it can be reas
onably done w ith men and money.
The m atter is a personal one, and 1
!iave no objection to saying th a t J. J.
Hill, as an individual, is financially in
terestd to any extent necessary to car
ry the road through to successful com
pletion.
“ Plans in detail are not fully devel
oped, but will become apparent from
tim e to tim e, as conditions may seem
to require. It may be said, however,
th a t the Oregon Trunk proposes to
provide as quickly as practicable
northern outlet for Central Oregon, re
gardless of the designs of any other
transportation com pany.”
Having made this announcement,
Mr. Stevens refused to budge an inch.

U niversity of Oregon, Eugene The
fifth annual session of the University
of Oregon sum m er school, has ju st
closed, and was the most successful of
any y e t held a t Eugene. The enroll
ment reached practically 100 students.
The students also were more represen-
tative, coming from nearly all parts of
the sta te and including in addition to
regular and
prospective university
students, many high school and upper
grade principals and teachers. A series
of daily lectures by Superintendents
Ackerman, Stockton, Yoder and Cooper
proved an a ttra c tiv e feature.
Plans for the next sum m er session
are already being adopted and it is ex
pected th a t the enrollm ent a t th a t tim e
will easily reach 200 students.
A
number of new courses, including
chem istry, E nglish composition and

Bend—A clim atological station is

the last ten months, g ath erin g s ta tis

resources for a forthcom ing govern-

tion is to record the tem peratures,
precipatation, evaporation, etc., of the

lines having been made of late a t the
Portland office, and no inform ation be
ing obtainable. Once established, the
station will be under the jurisdiction
of the w eather bureau.
The purpose of Mr. P o st’s work is
the publication of an official report
concerning the w ater resources of this
p art of the state, with p articular re f
erence to tabulating authentic d ata rel
ative to existing and contem plated ir

which little has hitherto been done.
P ractically rJI the sta tistic s necessary
for the report have been collected, and
the actual drawing up will be immedi

of completion within three months.

Spokane, Aug. 13.—John L. Wilaon,
ex- United S ta te s senator from W ash

banker of Chicago, clubman and a so

before the National Irrigation eongreBS

and succeeded in keeping the Ballin-

The forepart of yesterday’s session
did not offer, seem ingly, the proper
opening for a continuatizn of tho

of C alifornia, rose to question a s ta te

warmed to his subject to such an ex

and accused th a t official again of per

F arrell, Idaho, took the floor and dur

power to the city of Spokane. A t the
expiration of his five-minute tim e a l
