General Manager 0' Illicit of the

Into Central Orcnon by the 1st of
January. He also staled that with
in two weeks the surveying will be
finished, and the reports thereon
will be forwarded at once to Mr.
Ilarrltnau, who will decide which
route the new railroad Is to take,
It has been learned from the Port
laud offices that the surveys show
the Deschutes route into this coun
try to be much better than any
other.
According to the Portland Jour
nal the surveys for that part of the
route between the mouth of the
)cschuics and Madras have been
about completed and the computers
in Chcf hugiiiecr Iloschkc's office
arc now figuring 011 the compara
ttvo coit of the Deschutes route with
that going Miutli front the termi
nus of the Columbia Southern at
Khauiko. The estimates will be n
strong feature in favor of the Des
chutes route.
niKY SOON TO HIS ri.YINC.
"I expect to have the reports 011
the routes ready to submit to Mr.
llnrrimnu within two weeks," vaid
Mr. O'Hrien. "We arc hurrying
them as fast as possible so that we
can get to woik. I presume the
reports will be acted upon without
delay in New York and that the
Deschutes route will lc approved
there. If that is done wc will be
gin work at once and dirt should
lie flying all along the line by the
first of January."
The probable choice of the Des
chutes route for the Central Oregon
Hue will be hailed with delight by
the great majority of people In this
vast section of the Mate now with
out railroad communication. It is
generally regarded as being the
liipit fcasjblc path into the central
part of the state, (he easiest to bit Id

HIM. IN Till: CANYON.
.Surveyors for the Oregon Trunk
line, generally believed to be a Hill
enterprise, have liccn working
along the .same route uud although
they secured n government grant
for rough of the way through the
government lands through which
the Deschutes canyen cuts, they
have stated that they would not at
tempt to keep the llarrimnu line
out of the Deschutes canyon should
they also decide to take that route.
In view of the fact that Mr. Hill
Is believed to be interested in the
Central Oregon country the inct
that Judge C. H. Carey, attorney
for the Hill lines here, and C. K. H.
Wood, who has represented Mr.
Hill personally in several important
legal matters in the Northwest, re
cently returned to Portland from an
extended trip into Central Oregon,
which they mode together, Is sljj
nlfirant. White Mr. Hill was In
Portland last week he declined to
discuss the proposition of a Central
Oregon line, inlying if lis planned
one he would'' not make it public
Until t was in such mIiiikj Hint it
could be dquc without injuring
bis plane.
I'lnus'lnr (he Iliirriiu.au line south
of Madras nc ii4 e"t problematical,
accprdiuu to Mr. O'llrfeii. Hesntd
thai'tic hud selected Madras as the
present terminal of the line from
the mouth of the Deschutes, so that
lie would have one section ready
for approval by Mr. Harriinan anil
could begin work on it without de
lay. A" fcoou us the Deschutes
Madras lliiu is approved, however,
work on rttitnatc for the line from
Madras south through llcnd to con
nect with the Klamath line which
is now built, will beg'u. And as r
matter of fact this work has al
ready been started, as surveyors
arc now running lines south from
Madras.
CAPITAL STOCK PAID LP

An Increasing Patronage.
The capital stock of the Central
Oregon Dunking & Trust Company
has Iwcii subscribed in full and the
capitalization of that institution,
35,000, is now fully paid up. The
additional stock was subscribed last
Wednesday by several of the for

holdings and by the sale of n con
hidcrablc block of stock to ucw
parties. Those, outside of the old
stockholders, who bought stock last
Wednesday, arc V. V. Smith, of

The election of officers and a
board of directors was also held on
Wednesday.. The election resulted
in the choice of John Stcidl for
president; Dr.. l C. Coc, vice

The local bank has been doing a
very good business and during the
past two or three months there has
been a satisfactory and very de
cided Increase In the patronage of
the bank. While the bank is be
ing conducted, of course, for the
purpose of returning a fair profit to
its stockholders, yet it is the desire
of the stockholders to give Hcnd
and vicinity n first class banking
institution, to furnish accommoda
tions to those who arc entitled to
it, and to provide a place where the
banking business of the community
can be transacted sjccdily and with
perfect safety. With the capital
stock fully paid up, the local bank
is in a belter position than ever to
live up to this policy.

The United Slates Geological
Survey Is preparing to make a
thorough investigation into the
water resources of' Central and
Southern Oregon, witft'ihc object
In view of determining to what ex
tent the waters of this vast section
can be usctj 'ijor irrigation. The
Survey will co-opcratp with Ore

Lewis will have a hand in the
work.
The Geological Survey has pre
pared an article describing the
woik to be done, The article
makes interesting reading, and Is
as follows:
The state of Oregon Includes within
Its boundaries an area almost as larec
as the state of Ohio uutrattrcd by a
slugli: tulle of railroad. To the town of
Silver Lake, in this urea, belongs the
distinction of being the pout-office far
ther away from araittoad than any other
In the United States. It is 175 miles
from the nearest railway station to Sit

plies of all klmls such as hartlwarc,
foodstuffs, and, ill fact, everything that
i not raised In the Immediate vicinity
mutt 1 hauled by team; and yet, con
trary to the popular notion, the country
about this town Is far from lieiuu a bar
ren desert. In the past stock ruUlnqlias
leen the principal industry, fir lack of
tranMrtallou facilities has made it
profitable to raise only such produce
could I fed to stock that can le driven

adapted to dry-farming method, and on
some areas that can I artificially wat

It is hauuded on the. north lly the Iltue

streams draining Ihc northern, eastern
and western sIojk-s of these mountains
find their way to the sea ihroiij-lt ttie
Columbia; those of the southern slopes
drain Into lakes, from which the water
escapes only by evaluation, and which

ABOUT COMPLETED
Location of Oregon Trunk
Line Will Soon Be Made.
ROUTES THAT ARE BOINQ RUN
Several Lines Aro Icing Surveyed
Titrotish Madras to Hcnd Other
Items of Interest.
I'. Crane, who is in charge o
the Oregon Trunk Line surveyors
working down the Deschutes from
Madras, says it will require until
about the 14th to complete the line
to connect with the one being sur
veyed up the river from the Col
umbia. The Pioneer says that
when the connection is made it will
comolctc the location of the Oregon
Trunk Line all the way through
from the mouth of the Deschutes to
Madras.
The Oregon Trunk Line survey
down the Deschutes, below the
mouth of Willow creek, follows
along the high bench several hun
dred feet above the river. The lint
crosses Nigger Brown canyon just
above lid Campbell's, house, and
from there follows along the slop
ing hillside below the rimrock. It
docs not get down to the river level
until several miles below thcCowIes
alfalfa ranch. The line is fully 350
feet above the river where it starts
up Willow crctk canyon, this be
ing necessary in order to, get an
easy grade tip this canyon.
The surveying party under Mr.
Mills, which has been camped at
Madras for the past two weeks,
moved camp last Thursday morn
ing and is now located at Kimrock
Springs, according to the Pioneer
of last week. They ran the line
south from that place for some dis
tance following the survey made bv
the Oregqn pastern three years ago,
and it is reported that from Rim
rock Springs they will now run a
line north, following the range of
hills just cast of Madras. This
litic is evidently being run for the
purpose of ascertaining if a route
can be found that way, avoiding
the dip necessary to get across Wil
low creek flat-on the line they have
already run through Madras.
A second party of Harriinan sur
veyors moved iuto Madras last Fri
day afternoon and are camped on
the flat. This party is under J. II.
Roberts, and is the same party
which ran tlie line up Trout creek
to Sagebrush flat. ,. They have
been camped at the mouth of Trout
creek for the past mouth working
muii nit UV3I.IH1IV3, x his l'iiiy
is also headed south, but will fol
low the Juniper Iltitte route, cross
ing over Crooked river near Trail
Crossing. This will be the first
line the Ilarrltnau people have pro
jected by that route, all their for
mer surveys going by way of I,a
inonta and crossing Crooked river
at Oncil. This Hue, by way of
Trail Crossing, gets back to the
old Oregon Eastern survey at a
potut near Redmond, and it M re
ported that the Oregou Kastern
survey from that point will be fol
lowed very closely all the way
through to Klamath Vas.
No Sale for Deef Cattle.
George Small, Jim Small and
Ernie Carlon, alter Laving driven
their beef tq .where the California
buyers were wcm(t to buy, and stay
ing therefor some, ttu'ie and tiud
ing absolutely no sale, for them, re
turned to this place witli their en
tire bands last week. It begins to
look like the sale of beef cattle had
absolutely stopped as no buyers
are iu the market at all. This con
dition of thiugs makes money ab
solutely impossible to get hold of
and from present indications no
one knows when the stringency
will let up. Silver Lake Leader.
