C onstruction of O regon T runk Up the D eschutes to Be Rushed- 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.

The follow ing officers in addition I the election of B. A.

An annual appropriation of $10,000, 000 for a period of five years to aid in irrigation work is asked of congress in resolutions by the N ational Irrigation congress. This is perhaps the most im portant recom mendation in the reso lutions adopted, of which the following is a synopsis: T hat hom esteaders under a govern m ent p roject shall not be required establish a residence before the gov ernm ent is prepared to furnish them w ith w ater.

S ecretary of Interior D efended at Ir rigation C o n g ress. Spokane, Aug. 13.—John L. Wilaon, ex- United S ta te s senator from W ash ington, and John Farson, m illionaire banker of Chicago, clubman and a so ciety leader, broke into the lim elight before the National Irrigation eongreBS yesterday in defense of Richard A. Ballinger, secretary of the Interior, and succeeded in keeping the Ballin- ger-Pinehot “ feu d ,” to called, in the public eye. The forepart of yesterday’s session did not offer, seem ingly, the proper opening for a continuatizn of tho trouble until Dr. Pardee, ex-governor of C alifornia, rose to question a s ta te m ent made by a speaker. Dr. Pardee warmed to his subject to such an ex te n t th a t he toon brought in his charges again st the secretary of the interior and accused th a t official again of per m ittin g the opening for entry of valu able w ater-pow er lands. The afternoon session was hardly under way when W. W. F arrell, of F arrell, Idaho, took the floor and dur ing the tim e allowed for discussion a t tacked severely the W ashington Pow er company, the concern which supplies power to the city of Spokane. A t the expiration of his five-minute tim e a l lowance there were cries from all parta of the building for Mr. F arrell to " g o on.” A ¡To e was tBken and finally the Idaho man was allowed to proceed. Ex-Senator Wilson was seem ingly in less of a bellicose mood.
