Ilariitniiu has iiMile public an
nouncement in Portland tlutt lie
would Imlld 11 road Into this ixirt of
the Mute "Iniutediutely," mid work
ha already been commenced. Two
crews ot surveyor ale working up
the liirvliutrv nnothrt is Morkiuu
eastward limn the intimitis of the
Corvnlliii 1 Hasten), and still an
other is runnitiK surveys southward
(or mi extension of the Coltinihia
Southern. When reports are in
from all these surveys the chcujwst
and Iksi route will Ik; chosen, mid
then construction will begin. Gen
erul Manager O'llricii says that
"dirt will fly" within two months,
til the outside.
Mr. Harrimnn was very much
pleased with the reception Oregon
co()lc gave him during his recent
visit to the state and talked quite
freely regarding the Central Oregon
road while In Portland. Spcakini:
of the road that he will build
through these puts lie .said to a
Journal reporter
"That road will he built just as
quickly as money and material can
l(o gathered 'together. The matter
qfcottitructbu has left my hands
and is ucAv hi clfiirge ofnthe local
offices. It will be built immediate
ly."
' "How soon does 'immediately'
mean?" the railroad Hercules was
asked. "A year, two months?"
Wlmt Immediately Mean, '
"Work on that line may begin
within 34 hour, it may he, how
ever, n period of .several weeks, but
ml longer. It takes time to father
the means ncccsnary to build into
that .section, csccitlly When we
have to look coolly al the fact that
physical conditions ate such we
must in reality build four miles of
road to secure one mile of traffic."
Mr. Harrimnn jokes .short jokes
pungent in flavor. He Mips them
off the cud of his tongue like a man
counting u handful of dollars from
one hand to the other, lie is not
always the austere, vindictive mid
'grasping being the enrtoonkta pic
ture him.
"What route will the line Into
the interior follow?" Mr. llarriumn
was questioned.
I'uMIc Soon to Know.
"Well, now," he teplied, ns his
'face wrinkled in n smije, "if I knew
I'd Ik! foolish to.ttll you, and if my
local, truflic men knew they, loo,
would be foolish to disclose the'nrctl
The public will bs sdvJsed regard
ing that matter when the work 1k
gins, "and he added ngniiii "that
will Ie immediately.
"The line intbCrooI: cqjtpty has
hecu on the Schedule of our stew
work for .some time. It would Have
lcen started last year nnd cAYiipletcd
.. this had it not been for the depres
sion last fall. It will be the firtt
new work constructed."
Thus the great Wall Street Wiz
ard has bound himself by n public
promise to at last give this section
the long needed transportation, He
has also said that all other projects
must take second place to the Cen
tral Oregon rond mid that that road
will be finished firtt. As stated
above Hnrrimaii 11ns surveyors
working up the Deschutes, eastward
1 from the terminus of the Corvallls
' & Eastern and southward from
'Slinhikov That would indicate
thnt the new line will come over
mil' of these three routes General
Manager O'llrien estimates that it
will ii-quite from two weeks to 11
mouth for these Miiveyms lo com
plete their uoik and turn in their
figures. Sfiik m of that matter
he said'
"It will lie two weeks or a month
hefose the survewir have finished
their wotk. As mhiii as they have
finished and the figures are avail
able the choice of n mute into Ceil
trnl Oregon will In? made It will
lw these figures that will tell the
tale.
"The next step following the
choice of 11 route will be the work
of securing rights of ,way," con
tinued Mr O'llrien, "and us soon
as this task can Iw accomplished the
coiiMructinu work will begin."
Asked regarding the rumor that
flarrimau hud piirilinsd the Ore

"There is plenty of room; in the

Crew at Work 1 hero.
And what in the meantime is the
mysterious I'oi ler- Nelson- II c t h c I
crowd doing? There is one thing
certain am! that is that they nrc not
standing idly by. The first of the
week Ilcthcl, who, it thould be
borne in mind, has been Hill's lo
cating engineer for years, was nt
Madras. Upon leaving he made
the statement that he would return
in a few days and put n crew tit
work surveying a line down Wil
low creek from Madras to the Des
chutes. Thursday this crew ar
rived At Madras and went to
work. That means that the Ilcth
cl crowd will have n crew working
uj the Deschutes from the Colum
bia, and another locating a line
from the confluence of Willow creek
with the Deschutes, to Madras; or,
a located line frcm the mouth of
the Deschutes to Madras. That
will get them into the high, inter
ior lauds of the Deschutes valley
ami it is an easy matter to tun a
line from Madras through this sec
tion. Wlmt About tlio Local Crew.
And it might be interesting to
ask whnt the surveyors are doing
that the I ocn I railroad company has
in the field. I.nst week tills crew
was called luck from their work
between Madras and Shauikn and
instructed to find and locate the
best jKisslblc route between Madras
nud lleud. C. M. Kedficld, who is
in charge of the engineering tie
pirtmeiit of the locnl road, snys
that this crew is now working nbout
eight or 10 miles south of Madras
on their way to llend.
That Is the situation In the rail
rond gnme as it hns developed dur
ing the week. Hntriman has per
sonally promised n road, his gener
al malinger snys cnush'udidn will,
begin within two months,, crews of
surveyors nrc nt work to determine'
which route out of n choice of
three will be the best over which
to build. The Porter-Hcthel-Nelson

THREE WORTHY ACTS
County Court Does Good
Work at Last Session.
CULL POR WOMEN PRISONERS
Orders SupcnUors to I'ut Up (lulde-
lionrdit where Hoads Branch Keep
Irrigation Water Out of Roads.
At the session of the county court
held in Priucville hist week, one of
the most important matters attend
ed to who the providing for on ad
ditional cell lor the county juil.
Heretofore there have liccn but two
cells and these nre of the steel cage
variety, with nothing between them
but the 11stt.1l steel burs. If at any
tune 11 woman was arrested when
the other cell was occupied by a
tunic offender, it was necessary to
tucaicerate the woman nt aoine oth
er place or violate nil the laws of
decency. Of cour.s the woman
was always confined elsewhere.
The new cell will be used for
women, juveniles nnd iusnne per
sons, and wilt Ik- built lcuenth the
sheriff's office, where ihc founda
tions of the new court house form a
rock walled room, with one win
dow and one door. Contractor
Shipp will cement this room, place
a sttel netting and bars over the
window (the netting being provid
ed so that insane persons can not
injure themselves) and will provide
a proper door for the use for which
tho room is intended. This new
cell will provide seclusion for wom
en prisoners.
(luldeboard at All Cross Road.
A matter that will Ik of much
convenience to travelers will be the
putting up of guideboards at nil
rouuty cross roads and whrrc ro.ids
fork. The court instructed the
road master to sec that these guide
Iwnnls are put up, as the hw stip
ulates shall be done. Tlieie hns
Ixx'it quite a dctniud for these signs.
Supervisors will be instructed to
see that the guideboards are pro
tected from damage, and it is the
intention of the county court to en
force the law rigorously nud punish
nnyonc who destroys or dnmagus
the Iwnrd.s in any way whatever
These boards have never been prop
erly put up tacutrse the super viturs
complained thnt they were de
stroyed ns last nstliev wereM up.
At each guidctraard a printed cloth
sign will be lacker' tip giving tlio
penalty for destroying the guide
board. The section of law provid
ing for these boards is as follow
"l'.wry niR'rir liil vttcX mil I

Must Control Irrigation Water.
Knrmers adjoining the public
highways have been too cureless
with their irrigation water nud ns a
consequence portions "Of the rouuty
roads arc' flooded n good share of
the time, and are 'in bad shape.
This is contrary tq lew ntuWJudge
Hllis reports thnt the county c,ourt,
has taken steps a remedy this
trouble also. The, law provides
timt when anyone, allows water to
escape from his place iutothecouni
ty road, it shall become the duty of
the road supervisor to notify him to
abate the nuisance, If this is not
done within six hours after notifi
cation the supervisor hns power to
employ men, go upon the offender's
premises, nnd so repair his ditches
or nrrnuge matters that the water
will no longer escape into the rond.
The cost of this work is to be filed
with the county clerk, and such
cost becomes a lien against the of
fender's land, The law Is very
drastic nnd rends in part:
"The county cletk tdiall cause the
Itemized record of cost to be catered up
on thr lieu docket prepared fur that pur
poc, mid the amount of nucli charged
niul okmim', when mi docketed, thall
roimllnite n first lien, prior hi.i1 nujK-rlor
to all lieu or charge on wild laud or
prcniiM.', excepting tnxe.
11 kiicu courses ami expettMf are not
paid, mid mIiI lien diM-hared ly the

luudi nlfrctcd thereby lhall Ih- hIi uii
iter rxcciiti'in for the payment and satis
faction of well charge nud expemt-s of
will lieu, nud all charge touching the
IMIIIC."
It is thus seen thnt the penalty
for this offense is a severe one and
its provisions must be complied
with. The county court hns in
structed the various supervisors to
see that this law is enforced.
Nothing eUc ol importance was
transacted by the county court
aside from the regular grist of rou
tine business.

Shorter and Interesting Notes.
That the government will take
hold of the proposition of irrigating
the high plateau lands of the Mad
ras section is one of the possibilities
of the future, aud that this: possi'
bdity is by no means a remote one
is evidenced by the fact that gov
ernment engineers are in the field
now investigating the feasibility of
the project.
The Pioneer sys an engineer
connected with the government re
clamation service was in Madras
the last of the week, outfitting with
pack horses aud supplies for a trip
down the Deschutes river. He is
securing data ns to elevation, water
supply and accessibility of this
country, and will make a report to
the reclamation department on the
subject. He has just returned
from a trip to the Matoles river,
where he scnt some time making
surveys and gathering data.
The wuters of the Malplcs river,
which is one of the largest moun
tain streams in the state, arc util
ized for irrigation and power pur
poses to a less extent than any
other similar stream in the state.
It is stated by those who have
racasured'thc stream that there is
more water in the Matoles at its
mouth than there is iu the Des
chutes river Above that point, and
this water is all running to waste
In the past two years the govern
meut hydrographcrs have been
measuring the rivers and streams
of the state, with a view to eventu
ally utilizing them for reclamation
purposes wherever possible. While
it would be an undertaking of some
magnitude to flume or syphon the
waters of the Mutolcs across the
l)o chutes canyon, the elevation ol
the Matoles would make that pos
sible, and the character aud extent
of the lands east of the Deschutes
which could be brought under irri
gation by such a project, might
make it worth while. Private capi
tal might balk at the cost of such
an undertaking, but the reclama
tion service frequently steps in
wlnire private capital will not go
and it would not hesitate because
of the cost, if the cud to be attained
would justify It.
