RAILROAD MEN HERE
Prominent Officials Visit
This Section.
SURPRISED AT DEVELOPMENT
Ifarrlman Lieutenant Are Favorably
Impressed Conttructlon Order
Are llxpcctcd Soon.
Railroad prospects for the Rend
country were never brighter than
they arc today. During the past
week Bend has been visited by two
parties of railroad men, whose visit
licre contains much significance. It
is now generally believed and on
inside circles is stated positively
that the building of a railroad into
the Rend country will be actually
under headway within six raontlts,
if not sooner.
Prominent Railroad Official.
The first party to visit tiiisce,c
tiou reached here last Friday pcn
fag about 7:30 o'clock in two large
automobiles, and consisted of offi
cials of both the 0. R. & If , and
Cor vail is & Kastcrn, officials high
in the Harriman ranks. The party
consisted of Julius Krutt,schn,iU, di
rector of malnteuaufc. ami proration
of the entire Harriqiqn system; j,
P. O'Brien, president of the Cor
vallis & Kastcrn and vice-president
and general manager of the 0. IL
& N.; W. W. Cotton, Harriman's
chief legal adviser in the Pacific
Northwest; George W. Boschkc,
chief engineer ortlie O. R. & N.
Co.; R. li. Miller, general passen
ger nml freight agent of the 0. R.
& N.; Fred S, Stanley, one of the
principal owners of the D. I. & P.
Co.; his son, George Stanley; and
J. K. Kdwardsof the Baldwin Sheep
& Land Co. of Hay Creek.
The party left Shuniko in their
automobiles n n d made the trip
through in one day, picking up
Mr. Edwards at Madras. They
spent the night in Bend, leaving for
Sisters about 10 o'clock Saturday
morning. After inspecting the Sis
ters country and the section through
which an extension of the C. & K.
would run, they proceeded to Prine
ville via IJcdniond, later leaving for
the railroad from the county scat.
An Important Visit.
There arc several circumstances
which combined make the visit of
these men ta Bend of special signif
icance. The first of these is the
fact that both tlio Oregon Trunk
Line (possibly backed by Hill) and
the Chicago & Northwestern are
threatening to invade Central Ore
gon. Harriman forces realize that
they must get busy soon if they de
sire to protect themselves in this
favored section. The surveys of
the , Harriman line, (he Oregon
Kastcrn, from Natron to Ontario
arc practically completed, and it
must soon be decided what policy
to pursue whether to build the
above line from Natron through the
Diamond Peak pass or to , extend
the Corvallis & Kastcrn through
Minto pass. It is generally be
lieved that this visit was made in
order that these officials might bet
ter acquaint themselves with the
country through which an exten
sion of the C. & K. would lie.
Furthermore, it is admitted that
the Minto pass is n much better
one than the one near Diamond
Peak and another advantage lies
with the C. & K. in the fact that
that line is already practicalh' built
to the summit of the pass, At the
time these officials were visiting
tins section, a party of engineers
left Detroit, the eastern terminus of
the C. &. K., for a hurried trip
through the mountains, coming
this., way. In, this, party ware
George F. Kevins, general super
inteudent of the C. &. K., and John
Stevens, superintendent of bridges
anjtl building., t The fact that these
men, with their cugiuccrs, left De
troit for a hurried trip into Central
Oregon confirms the report that
Harriman people arc up against an
immediate decision of starting con
struction of some line into Central
Oregon.
Kruttschnltt Will Report Favorably
That is the situation an it appears
to the public at the present time
But what will interest the people of
this section most is the impres
sion these men received after seeing
this country. Messrs O'Brien and
Cotton had been here before, but it
was Mr. Kruttschnitt's first visit
into Central Oregon. Mr. Kruttsch
nitt stated that never a word had
been told him regarding the great
tract of timber lying adjacent to
Bend; that ho mipioscd all tbe tim
ber was to be found immediately
surrounding that section of the pro
posed Natron-Qntario line that
crossed the mountains. He was
also greatly surprised and pleased
with the development of this section
and intimated that it was a most
promising field into which to build
a railroad. M r. Kruttschnitt's
statements were received with great
interest as be holds the position
in the Harriman forces that
practically gives him authority to
say whether or not a railroad shall
be built. He has now gone lust
to report to Harriman and Mr.
Stanley and local men who met Mr.
Kruttschnitt while here arc confi
dent that his report will be favor
able to an immediate extension of
the C. & K.
Mr. Cotton likewise expressed
himself as greatly astonished at the
remarkable development this coun
try had made in the past two years.
He sold he never would have be
lieved such development was pos
sible.
Thus it was that these men, whose
business it is to protect Hnrriman
interests in tbe Northwest and to
build railroads where Harriman's
territory is threatened by a rival
road, made their hurried trip
through this section leaving the
impression that the Bend country
will soon have a railroad with
more substantial parts than those
built oti paper.
VISITED BY CAPITALISTS

of Df I. & P. Co,
AIUC1I WORK WILL BE DONE
U'k Irrigation Company WUI Have
Pay Roll of $12,000 per Month
for Next Fojr Veara.
It is now a settled fact that tbe
D. I. & P. Co. offices will be moved
back to Bend about; August 15.
They will occupy the building
formerly used by them and an or
der has been given to install city
water in the building. The wort
of doing that is now in progress.
Another feature of D. I. & P.
development that means much 'to
this section is the announcement
that for the next four years the
company wil have a pay roll that
will average $13,000 a month.
Many a ci(y of six to efcht thous
and people does not have that large
a pay roll and it js easily seen what
an influence th&t amount ol money
iu circulation bpre will have on tbe
general prosperity qf the country.
A N.EW RESIDENCE SECTION.
for certain consideration, to furnish
him with water for the Smith tract
and other land and also to c;ttre
an assignment of Smith's title to
the land to Gcrkjog. Gerking
was bound, by the contract, to
make the necessary proofs and pay
ments to comply with f.he taw.
The contestant now brings for
ward the coatctipn that Smith ut
terly ajlcd to make the necessary
improvements and accomplish the
recfamaiton of the land as required
bylaw
If the contestant wins, the
result will be to set aside Smith's
title to tbe land.
Attorney Myers of Laidlaw rep
resented the contestants, an Attor
ney Benson pf Bend the contestee.
Mr. Benson having been called tp
defend the contestccs at the lasf
moment.
SHEVLIN VISITS PORTLAND.
ANOTHER RAILROAD IS REPRESENTED
Men Interested In tlio Oregon Trunk
Line Inspect Tills Section flood
Field for a New Road.
The other party of railroad men
to visit Bend came in last Wednes
day, likewise in two large automo
biles, and consisted ot a number of
Seattle capitalists under the guid
ance of W. F. Nelson, president of
the Oregon Trttnk Line, and L
Gregory, vice-president of the Title
Trust Co. of Seattle. The visit was
made in order to acquaint the men
with this country, inasnuiCn us
they arc interested in tho Oregon
T 1 unk Line (the road building up
the Dcscliutes river) aud its early
completion into thissection. Messrs
Nelson and Gregory had been here
before but it was the first visit for
the others to these parts.
These men were likewise' sur
prised at the development of (his
secti6n and highly pleased with the
prospects for traffic that a road into
this vicinity could procure. Pass
ing through Madras and the Agen
cy Plains country, they saw acre
after acre and mile after mile of
land with a bumper crop of wheat
ripening on it. Coming farther
south they found a rich section
rapidly developing under irrigation
with billions of feet of timber
awaiting the coming of a railroad
to be sawed into lumber aud shipped
to distant markets, They were al
so iu a land where thousands of
head of horses, cattle and sheep are
raised each year and shipped to all
parts of the country. It did not
take the vision of a prdphet for them
to see that a railroad tapping this
Vast section would have all the
Tract on West Side of River Will De
Improved for Home Building.
Mr. Steidl announces that the
present plans of the townsite people
contemplate the plotting of the land
on the west side of the river, direct
ly opposite Bend, with the intention
of making that the principal resi
dence section of the city. When a
lot is sold it will be stipulated in
the deed that no residence shall be
built there to cost less than a given
amount which will be a reasonable-
one. This will insure no
building th,crc except what will be
a credit to a prominent residence
section.
A haudsomc boulevard will be
opened on both sides of the river,
running iu front of the Guerin,
Goodwillie and Drake residences,
crossing the river at the narrow
poiut before the Drake lawn and
Skirting the river bank on the west
side. It will make as handsome a
residence section as any ctty can
boast of.

ANOTHER CONTEST.
Orovcr (Jerking: Brings Action against
Desert Land On try of Champ Smith
An interesting contest was heard
before Commissioner Iillis this week
in which Grovcr G. Gerking
brought action to cancel the desert
land entry of Champ Smith of Prine
ville to 3:0 acres of land in sections
7 aud 8 iu township 16, range 12,
tfie entry having been made in xooo.
Tlio contestant alleges failure to re
claim said tract, ulso fraud and col
lusiou 011 tho part of Smith and the
Columbia Southern Irrigation Com
pany in seeking to obtain title to
said land. The allegations weie
denied in toto by the contestee,
The facts as developed iu the con
test are as follows: Smith made fil
ing on the tract in question in 1900,
having u contract with the Three
Sisters Irrigation Company to fur-
m'sh him water sufficient to reclaim
it. Smith proceeded to make year
ly proofs and in 1905 made fiual
proof. In the meantime, however,
the Columbia Southern Irrigation
Company had succeeded the Three
Sisters company and had acquired
its rights and contracts. The Col
umbia Southern company eutered
into contract with J. N. B, Gerking,

Deschutes Country.
ToRTLANn, July 34. Thotnn II.

yesterday at the I'ortlml, departing
last night for Seattle, from which city

Ing. For ieveral years Mr. Shetlla has
maintained an office heir, and he keep
inctoe touch with the local business
situation.
"The problem which Uie Northwest
has to solve," uiri Mr. Shevlin, "is th.t
of transportation. Oregon will grow
just in proportion aaahe secures railroad
lufEcient to carry her products to mar
ket The building of the North lUnk
road will accomplish wonders toward, in
creasing your facilities, an, that amj the
line through Central Oregon which Mr.
Harriman will surely build will give thi
state such on impetus as It ha,, never
known before.
"Just as soon as I rind transportation
facilities adequate, I shall build a mill in
the Deschutes country for the purpose of
det eloping my timber hoMings, but it's
no use now. I'nless the railroads are
there in a position to take care of your
product it is useless to undertake any
manufacturing enterprise."
Mr. Shevlin sees no indications of a
business depression.
"Naturallr there will be a little slack.
Ing up during the coming presidential
campalg.' he continued, "but it wilt
not resemble anything like a panic. Out.
here in the Northwest you will feel it
least of all. I've seldom seen a town
grow so rapidly as I'ortland has during
the two year since I was here last. It
seems like an altogether different city.
You've struck your gait at last and are
