HILL'S CRBWS ARB AT WORK
(Continued from first pas.)
tion was asked if this were not
another Hill coup directed against
Ilnrriroan's evident intention of
building at once into Central Ore
gon.
"I don't want Mr. Hill's name
mentioned iu connection with this
matter," said Mr. Porter. "This
may be any one of many other
roads besides Mr. Harriman's. It
rnav be the Milwaukee or the Chi
cago Northwestern or one of a score
of others.
WW BttHd to Madras.
"No, we don't represent the Ore
gon Trunk Line. We represent
ourselves, you may say. We have
surveys for construction work
completed as far as Madras, and
intend, to rush construction work
4
up thd Deschutes canyon.
"We don't care to say just which
side of the Deschutes canyon we
shall 'occupy. For a portion of the
way the road will be on one side of
the river and for the other portions
on" the other side."
In this city the supposition is
that Porter Bros, are the construe
tion agents of Mr. Hill. Porter
Bros, have donemuch construction
work for Mr. Hill. The North
Bank road, considered by engi
neers to be one of the marvel of
railroad building in the- Pacific
Northwest, was constructed by
Porter Pros.
When rival right-of-way agents
were purchasing lands along the
Columbia river in the summer ol
1905. the first authentic news an
nouncement that Hill was to build
down the Columbia river was made
when it was learned that Porter
Bros., of Su Paul, well known Hill
contractors, had secured the con
tract for the construction work be
tween Vancouver aud Pasco.
First oa 0 round Victor.
Fight between Hill and Harri
man for control of the Columbia
river gorge waxed warm for many
months. Actual possession of
strategic points was awarded to
Mr. Hill only after long legal con
tests, in which Hill proved that
his men had done the rst construc
tion work and was therefore en
titled to use of the rights of way in
places so narrow that only one rail
road could use the ground.
Similar conditions are likely to
privail along the Deschutes can
yon. Those who know, say that
the canyon is so narrow in places
that only one railroad can possibly
build along the rocky ledges. Tak
ing the conditions which prevailed
along the north bank of the Col
umbia river and the court rulings
as a precedent, it is evident that the
first construction for actul usage as
a railroad route will hold the Des
chutes canyon. Hill wou in the
contest for possession of the Col
umbia river gorge, and if Porter
Bros, well known Hill contractors,
are, again in the employ of the
great railroad builder, Mr, Hill in
tends again to defeat Mr, Harri
man in gaining control of the much
coveted route into the vast territory
of Central Oregon.
Among the equipment unloaded
here today from the steamer Bailey
Gatzcrt were 60 bead of horses and
mules and a large number of wag
ons, tents, scrapers and wheelbar
rows. Teams and wagons have been
engaged here as fast as they could
be found and horse buyers are
now scouring the country in an en
deavor to secure more. Fifty teams
with wagons and men are said to
have beea secured at Blalock.
The Oregon Trunk Line has
maintained aa office here since last
fall, and Mr. Porter is endeavoring
to secure suitable additional room
for bh fira. The Oregon Trunk
tine's survey crosses the Deschutes
to the 'cast side aud starts south at
r 4
U' Ren's place. The suivey starts
at Moody's ranch, 17 miles (torn
The Dalles, and follows the water
grade of the river.
Porter said that The Dalles would
be mnde a terminal of the new
road.
The Oregon Trunk parallels the
Deschutes road surveyed by the
Harnmau system, and 29 -miles of
it conflicts with the 'road proposed
by the Harriman people. About
to days ago the Department of the
Interior approved the surveys of
the Harriman people, with the cx
ception of these 29 miles on which
the right of protest by the Oregon
Trunk wai given. The time for
filing this protest expires today,
July 24.
Combined with the probable pur
chase of the old Mcdford & Crater
Lake, or, as it has been known
since some Mcdford people, headed
by Dr. J. F. Reddy, reorganized it,
the Pacific & Eastern Railroad,
the move made yesterday by the
Hill interests is more than highly
significant.
HHI Forecasted Move.
Four years ago, almost to a day,
James J. Hill was guest at a ban
quet at the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition. During the evening Mr.
Hill announced fiat-footedly that
he intended to build a railroad
down the north bank of the Col
umbia river. Continuing, he said
there was a possibility that when
the proper time came he might in
vade Central Oregon, the territory
of inconceivable possibilities, which
for years E. H. Harriman has been
endeavoring to bottle up perma
nently and which up to the present
he has succeeded in doing, with
most deleterious effects on the de
velopment of this state.
Hill has built and put into oper
ation the North Bank road, just as
he promised, and that his threat
that be would invade the Hartiman
preserve was no "bluff is thought
here to be signified by his action
in sending construction crews into
the Deschutes country.
The finale to the programme
which yesterday had its start can
not be forecasted. Hill for many
years has had longing eyes on the
territory California which for
several decades the Southern Pa
cific has owned, body and breeches.
Whatever it means or wherever it
will end, it means that Oregon-
interior Oregon is to be developed
aud that the field of Portland as a
distributing agent is to be enlarged.
A LIVELY MEETINd.
the required time, thnt cultivation
thereof was a mere pretense, hav
ing cultivated only thtcc acres; and
that he did not take the lutul in
good fnlth, for a homestead, but
for the valuable timber thereon.
Mr. Mutes contends that he lived
there about seven years, aud that
1 11c place H truly valuable lor a
home and for agricultural pursuits.
It contains quite a large amount of
meadow laud and, bordering the
river, would make a good place on
which to raise stock. The con
test is being heard today before
Commissioner Kllis, Attorney Hen
son appearing iu behalf of Mr.
Bates.
Father Mickey Uuildlng Church.
Rev. Father M. J. Hickcy, rec
tor of Kingsley and dependent
Catholic mission iu Wasco, Slier
man, Crook and Wheeler counties,
is making preparations for the erec
tion of a church in Dufur. He has
been given a block of ground free,
and signatures amounting to ft, 000.
This speaks well for the town of
Dufur, and for the healthy develop
ment of the Tygh Ridge country.
