A ROAD IN TWO YEARS
Oregon Trunk Line Will
Build to liciul.
1
RlflllT OP WAY IS (WANTED
Contract for Ralls Is Let to Cnrtieiclc
Company Surveyors Will Work
between Ucinl nm! Madras.
The Ilullctin has been informed
from n source that removes nil
doubt as to 'flic authenticity of the
rqxirt that surveying crews will be
put at work nhbitt Mny 15 runninc
a line from Madras to Bend for the
Oregon Trunk' I.ino. As soon as
the surveys arc completed construc
tion will begin, with probably a
crew at each' end of the licnd
Madras line. In the meantime
work will be' resumed on that part
of the line coming up the Deschutes
canyon, and the road will be pushed
to a speedy completion. It is also
learned from the same source that
contracts for the rails for the new
road are already closed. A first-
class substantial road will be built
and 80 pound rails used.
The Ilullctin trot this information
from a man who has been connect
ed with the Oregon Trunk Line
from its inception. lie announced
persopally to this paper that the
road wa a "sure go" and that it
would take from one and a. half to
two years to build it into Ilcnd, but
into lleud it will come. The under
takiiiK is satisfactorily financed and
will be carried to n successful cud.
It will cost about 10,000 a mile
to build the line. The North
Hank rond is costing 73,000 a mile,
the Union Pacific cost 65.000, the
Northern Pacific .o,ooo and the
Great Northern $55,000. It is thus
seen that the Oregon Trunk Line
is comparatively a cheap road to
build, although this gehtleumu
says that there will be considerable
hard work in the Deschutes canyon.
DAMS WILL NOT til! HUILT.
Reclamation Service Abandons Plans
and Right, of Way Is Granted.
Right of way up the Deschutes
river has Iwcn granted to the Ore
gon Trunk line, nud it is now ex
pected that the work of building
that line into Central Oregon will
soon lie resumed. I.ast week
Thursday's Portland Journal says
that P. S. Gordon, engineer iu
charge of the Oregon Trunk rail
road, work upon which was sus
pended several months ago owing
to conflict iit the Tight of way with
appropriations made by the govern
ment reclamation service, recoived
n telegram this morning from Com
missioner Daliintjer of the genuial
laud office that the railroad's right
of way has been granted.
It is stated that former plans qf
the company, of which V, P. Nel
son of Htrnttle is president, will now
lie carried forward and the road
projected into Central Oregon.
Witter Is Appropriated.
Surveys oil the line which began
at the mouth of the Deschutes river
and continued southward into
Crook county were completed last
year, and late iu the fall grading
work ljcgnu along the banks of the
river. This had been completed
for a considerable distance when
the company was served with noti
fication that the reclamation service
had appropriated the waters of the
Deschutes at its mouth for power
service. Inasmuch as the Oregon
Trunk's right of way fell inside of
the restricted district thrown around
water appropriations made by the
reclamation service, the right to
build the road up the canyon of the
Deschutes was denied.
Strongc Remonstrance Made.
Last winter when it became
known that for the purpose of gen
erating power at the mouth of the
Deschutes to carry it to aid in the
Umatilla irrigating projects, the re
clamation service had blocked the
only feasible route into the long
neglected region of interior Oregon,
protest sprung up-from alt quarters
Portland business men and oth
ers interested in the development
of the arid districts of Crook county
took up the matter in an effort to
have the order against the pilroad
company rescinded. Petitions were
circulated broadcast among the
residents of Central Oregon and
also received many signatures from
the business interests of Portland.
Later they were forwarded to
Washington, where congressional
pressure was enlisted. The result
is the telegram which was received
by Engineer Gordon this morning.
Machinery on the Ground,
While the officers of the railroad
company have issued 110 official
statement, it is said that they arc
ready to go ahead at once with the
road and open up one of the largest
isolated districts in the west. Grad
