DIRT IS NOW FLYING
Oregon Trunk Line Begins
Grading. "
ACTIVE AT. A.OUTH Of RLVER
RnllroaJ Is Now Building Into Ccntrnl
Oregon up the Deschutes Signs of
Life In Corvnllls & linotcrn.
Th
icstatcmcnts recently made that
3rcgon Trunk Line would soon'
the Ore-
begin construction 9f a road up the
LCSCIIHIC3 river arc uuw ican.i;u
and Saturday w. P. Nelson, the
promoter and president of this pro
ject, started a force of men at work
grading near the mouth of the river.
The survey is completed and rights
of way secured for a distance of
more than 100 miles into the inter
ior of Oregon.
It is believed that there is a Hill
relationship p these Oregon rail
road projccU ami that some day
they will become a part of the Hill
system now building down the
north bank of the Columbia. The
present survey now ends at Madras,
but it will be remembered that En
gineer Gordon of the Oregon Trunk
Line, while completing the survey
to Madras last winter, said that the
extension of the road south from
Madras aloug the Dpscbutcs river
to Betid would be au, easy matter.
In view of the fact that tfiis road is
now building up the Deschutes,
such a statement by a leading engi
neer of the road contains much
promise for Bend's hopes for a rail
road in the not distant future. The
Trunk Line b said to t the first of
various feeders with which J. J.
Hill will iuvadc Harrimau's terri
tory in Oregon.
Sunday's. Portland Journal tells
how this, fight between. Hill and
Harrimau is growing fiercer every
day and how the contest is spread
ing from the north bank of the
Columbia onto the Deschutes river.
The Journal says;
The cnj;aKctiiciit involves more than
400 mile- of main line tctucen WnHula,
Portland nml the Sound, onil several
luimlrcil miles of prospective branch
lines. An intimation o its great scope
is shown by what is now happening on
the Deschutes river, where yesterday
morning V. 1'. Nelson, president of the
Oregon Trunk Line, a Hill road, began
the construction of a line 100 miles long,
from the mouth ofthe Dochutes to Mud
rns. This project is to be fought with all
the force the llnrrimnu people can mus
ter. As soon ns news of Nelson's move yes
terday reached the Portland headquart
ers ofthe Harrimau companies, prepara
tions were ticKun to launch construction
work on the Deschutes, where a Harri
mau surveying party has been hard nt
work running a line to Madras, and on
into Central Oregon to meet the project
ed Harrimau roml through the state from
Natron to the Snake river, livery foot
of the Deschutes river route is to lie con
tested with even more vigor than the
fight is waged on thu north bank of the
Columbia.
Corvnllls & Eastern Wnkes Up.
J. K. Wcatherford and G. W.
Talbot, who passed through Bend
last week, are men prominent in the
Corvallis & Eastern road. They
followed the C. & E. survey over
the mountains into Bend and on in
to Eastern Oregon, and were evi
dently on a tour of inspection. In
mentioning this trip the Albany
Herald says;
Manager Ouy W, Talltot came up yes
terday noon and last evening, accompan
ied by Vice President J. K. Weatherfonl
and Superintendent J. K. Walsh, left for
the front for n couple of days' Htuy,
Messrs. Talbot and weatherfonl will go
into the mountains along the rond be
yond Detroit to look over the company's
properly and Ihe road between the ter
minim mul Mill Citv will lie carefully in
spected, the new manager being anxious
to fnniiliarUe himself with the property
under his jurisdiction. They will go
with pnckhors.es lieyontt Detroit, ami
may go to the summit of the mountain,
Mr. Talbot did not say so. but the Indi
cations uru that his trip may menu the
enrlv rcsunmtion of work on the exten
sion of the roml into the Hastern Orciiou
country, an extension so earnestly de
sired by the people of this city.
U. V. Haliershant of Astoria of the en
gineering department of the Astoria &
Columbia Uiver railrond and of the Cor
vallis & Kaseru came up Tuesday and
spent the afternoon In the general offices
His visit here,
with the trip
through the Cascade
mountains alone
the projected extension now bcltii! taken
by Manager Guy W. Talbot and Vice
President J, K. Wcatherford lends some
color to the impression that something
may be under way toward the extension
of the C."& ii. railroad at an early date.
ANOTHER RESIDENCE BURNS,.
House and lintlro Content on the Dr.
Merrill Ranch Destroyed,
-Early Thursday morning, the
residence of Dr. Merrill was com
pletely destroyed by fire on his
ranch one mle south of town. Prac
tically the entire contents were
burned, the only things that were
saved from the Haines being a sew
ing machine, d trunk, a few articles
of clothing, and odds and ends that
did not amount to much. The fire
is supposed to have caught from a
defectivc'ijto.vepipc.
Evidences of the fire were first
seen by II. W. Morrill, who was
working on the west side ofthe
river opposite the house. He hur
ried across the bridge and by the
time he reached the house flames
were bursting forth from the front
of it. The doctor at the time was
working in the barn and Mrs. Mer
rill was busy with the duties of
breakfast. There was scarcely more
than time enough to get out the
two little boys who were still asleep.
Dr. Merrill will rebuild at once.
He carried $ 1,000, insurance on the
house and contents.

CAPITALISTS IN BEND
Came to Investigate Des
cjiutes Valley.
PLAN AN IRRIGATING PROJECT
These Men Will Undertake to Water
the Fertile Madras Country from,
the Descliutes RIycr,
Donald Fitzgerald, H. M. Grif
fin and Frank Robertson, capitalists
of New York, accompanied by Don
P. Rca of Madras, were in Bend
Sunday, conferring with local meu
in regard to matters relative to the,
irrigation project which these men
are about to launch in the Madras
country.
Mr. Fitzgerald, who seems to be
the moving spirit behind this proj
ect, was inclined to ridicule the,
glowing stojy descriptive of thus
undertaking that recently appeared
in Oregon papers. While it is true
that some surveys have been made,
and while there is no doubt that
this company will eventually con
duct water onto the Agency Plains
and Haystack country, the story of
au immense dam in the Deschutes
river and a steel trcsslc supporting
a conduit through which the water
will flow 888 feet above the bed of
Crooked river to irrigate 100,000
acres and the whole project costing
1,000,000, is rather premature, ac
cording to Mr. Fitzgerald. The
visit of these New York capitalists
to the scene of the proposed project
was to familiarize themselves more
thoroughly with conditions gov
erning a project of this nature and
thus be able to determine what pro
portions the undertaking will as.
sume. While these gentlemen arc
sincere in their intention to launch
an extensive irrigation project, they
gave Bend people to understand
that it is only in its preliminary
stages.
Mr. Fitzgerald was so favorably
impressed with Bend, its ideal loca
tion and lovely mountain view, that
he expressed a strong desire to pur
chase a large block of town prop
erty with a river frontage and erect
a handsome residence.
The party returned to Madras
Monday morning.
LUMBERMEN VISIT BEND.
Members of the Brooks-Scanlon Coim
pany Look Over Holdings Here.
Last Friday evening M. J. Scan"
lou and son R. H., J. P. Keyes and
S. A. Blakeley, all of Minnesota,
arrived in Bend and spent scrcral
days cruising over a large tract of
timber held by the Brooks-Scanlon
people of Minneapolis. Later the
party, with the exception of Mr.
Blakeley, departed for Southern
Oregon points.
Mr. Scan Ion, who has held a
large tract of timber south and east
of Bend for several years, told Bend
parties while here that he was anx
ious that a railroad be built into
this country in order that he might
build a mill nud begin to saw lib
timber. It is known that he holds
an option on cither one of two de
sirable mill sites on the river at
Bend. Mr. Scanlon, at various
times, has told Bend people that
when transportation facilities war
ranted such an enterprise, his com
pany would build a large mill at
this place.
Mr. Blakeley and "Bill" Brock
are now cruising for this companj
in the vicinity of Bend.
Speaking of a large deal recently
closed by the Brooks-Scanlon peo
ple, the Tiraberman says:
The nrooks-Scanlon Lumber Compaii)
of Minneapolis, which bought a heavy
tract 01 yeiiow pine in Louisiana last
year, has made another big investment
in I'lorida. The purchase includes m.
000 acres of yellow nine laud near Or
lando. No mill is included and the deat
is understood to have amounted to about
f 1,000,000, It will be dcseloped soon,
and the product will be shipped by coast
steamers to New York and New England
points.
Ice cream sodas can now, be ob
tained at the postoffice stove. J4-tf
