WOULD OPI-N A VAST EMPIRE Hunts Man Discusses Railroad l'ros pects for till Rcglon-Tlilnks Ore gun IJastern Wlll'lJc Uullt. IJcnd people have been watching with Interest for the last year and a hnlf the work of the different stir veyliiRj crews working on the pro posed Oregon Kastcrn railroad, the new road which is to cross the Mate from cast to west. livery itidica tlon idgrifying that Ilnrrimau was probably in earnest when his offi cials stated that this now road would be built across the state, has been felted eagerly aud discussed by the whole of Central Oregon. Central Oregon wants railroad transportation aud wants it badly, hence its great interest in the work of these surveyors. In view of this widespread Inter est, a statement by one who lives at Burns, the headquarters of these surveyors, and who consequently should be in close touch with their work, should attract the attention of Iliillctin readers. Such a state ment was published in Saturday's Orcgonian as an interview with A. W. Gowan, receiver of the U. S. laud office at Burns. Speaking of the new road, Mr. Gowau said: "Sixteen miles of tliis road, be tween Ontario aud Vale, already have been constructed. . This sec tiou of railroad is considered the most permanent construction in the West. The heaviest of steel rails, the best of tics and other materials have been employed ami the same substantial method will be followed in the future. The people of Har ney county arc elated over the prospect of gaining railroad com munication with the outside world and arc satisfied that the Ilarrimau interests, which arc behind the project, arc in erne$t and will com plete the improvement in the short est convenient time. Surveying for Past Year. "Pur more than a year three sur veying parties 0enUl in our county aud established as many surveys. The operating force was recently augmented by the addition of two other Mirvcyiug parties. All five parlies have established head quarters at Hums, where, n com plete equipment lor practical rail road construction has been pro vided. Maps indicating the defiuatc Surveys mid the final location have Been filed in the Laud Ofllrc tit Hums aud also forwarded to the authorities at the National capital for approval. "Three diiTcrout routes are pro posed for the road through Harney county, from Vale, the present ter minus. One ol the proposed courses is up the Malheur Hicr on less than a i per cent grade for n dis tance of i to miles to Crane Creek, opening into Harney Valley about .)o miles from Burns, Prom that point another route has been sur veyed from Laweu westerly to a point near Odell Lake in the Walk er Range country, Prom this pro posed main line, another route has been established northwesterly to Hums. Another, branching south erly from Wagontlrc Mountain to Lnkevlew, has been surveyed nnd still another from the main line near Narrows in a southerly direc tion up the the Dttnder and Dlitzen rivers through the atalow Valley and the Pueblo mineral belt to con nect with the Central Pacific in Nevada, presumably between Reno and Winuemucca, "In these surveys the oneratiutr department of the Ilarrimansystetn has employed the most skilful en gineers in its service, aud also has established headquarters in Jtttrim where a competent force of drafts men Is employed. All movements arc directed from that jvoint. 'Ihlnk llnrrlmnn In llarnest. "All this work appears to our people as an effort on the part of the Ilarrimau cople to complete the projected line at the earliest date Kviblc. With our large aud undeveloped resources we feel the need for a railroad which would place our section in touch with the outside world. Nothing would do more towards advancing the growth aud development of the Inland Umpire than the building of such a railroad which we confidently be lieve is now assured. Property values would )x greatly enhanced and every benefit that comes from efficient transportation facilities would be ours. M. " LAND GOES UP IN PRICE INCREASE OF LIEN ON DITCH LAND Raised from an Average of $10 to $25 per Acre System to Revert to Settlers at End of 10 Years. The state land boa id has granted the request of the Deschutes Irriga tion & Power Co. for an increase of lien for construction of their rec lamation system surrounding Bend. The increase raises the price of their land from an average of $10 to an average of $25 per acre, with the maximum price at $40 per acre. Heretofore sales have been made at from $1.50 to $15 an acre, accord ing to the quantity of land in a .so- acre tract that can be irrigated Now the price will range from $2.50 to $40 an acre, the latter being for land that can be irrigated and the former for nou-irrigable land The D. I. & P. Co. have agreed to turn over the system to the set tlers in good condition at the end of 10 years. The annual main tenance charge is reduced from $1.00 to 80 cents per acre. Those settlers who have already bought laud may obtain their proportionate partnership in the system by pay ing an additional $6 per acre. The company is also required to deposit Si. 00 for every acre sold, or ?i.oo for every 25 pakl by the settlers, as n guarantee that they will complete the system in good faith. Powell Iliittoa Items.

It is rumored that a new store wilt be built at Powell Iluttc station by a Mr. Scott from western Oregon, C, II. Iillls having given Mr. Scott an estimate of tho building cost. J. J. Jones is expecting his family in a few days. Mr. tones has been here 14 mouths and he hits about 40 acres under cultivation. C. H.( Hills Is now working with the hatchet mig for the I). I. & Co.

SHORTER AND BETTER ROUTE Drilling Is Stow at Redinond Due to "Iron Uasnlt" Rock Large Sheep Ranch Sold County Pair. T.aidlaw citizens have submitted a proposition to the management ol the Corvallis & Eastern railway whereby the Laidlaw people agree to open a wagon road to tlo termi nus of the railroad if that terminus would be extended 20 miles, or to just over the summit of the moun tains. The railroad people have re ceived the offer with favor and plans are now under way for a joint meeting of a representative of the railroad and representatives from this section. The affair was inaug urated and has been handled by the Laidlaw Development League. This league will bold a meeting this evening to perfect further plans along this line and to appoint rep resentatives to confer with the rail road men. General Manager Tal bot of the C. & E. has signified his willingness to discuss the matter with representatives from this sec tion. It would be an easy matter for the railroad to extend its line the 20 miles, since for a distance of 20 miles from Idanha, the present ter minus, virtually all that would be required would be to lay ties and Spike rails, for the right of way is covered by a grade constructed in earlier days by the Oregon Pacific. It is in good condition, with the ex ception of a few points where wash outs have taken place. It is esti mated the wagon road would be 60 miles in length, but even at that a bctterjroutc and shorter distance is afforded than from this region to Shnniko, where connection is now made with the Columbia Southern. The plan is to construct a high way over which heavy loads may be hauled with case and which at the same time will permit of fast driving, so that residents of the in terior may reach Portland, transact their business and return home in from two to- three days, instead of being held up nearly a week as at present.' The railroad, if extended, would tap a heavily timbered dis trict which would be productive from n traffic standpoint. Drilling Is Slow Work. Moore Bros., who arc drilling the deep well for the D. I. & P. Co. at Redmond, have reached a depth of something over 200 feet. They have been drilling through very haul "iron basalt," making barely two feet per day. This rock ap pears to be highly mineralized, and particles of it arc attracted by a mag net as readily as are particles of steel. Prom this characteristic, as well as from its hardness, the rock gets its name of "iron basalt." While the drilling is uecessariiy slow on account of the hardness of the rock, yet it is being continued steadily. Large Ranch Sold. It is reported that H. I.. Friday & Co. of Cross Keys last week bought of J, B. Cartwright, all of the latter'sland holdings heretofore used by him in connection with his sheep plant near that place, the purchase price, beiug given as $27,000, The CartwHfiht ranch is just east of the Prfday ranch on Trout Creek, one of the best alfalfa. ranches in the county, and the two properties combined will give the new owners one of the finest prop erties in the county. The sale in cludes a section of land lying on Sage nrush, just north of Agency Plains. It is reported that Mr. Cartwright will sell his sheep and retire from the stock business, with which he has been identified in this county for some years past. Mad ras Pioneer.
