Is IIIJI the Man?
The question that is puzzling
Central Oregon people at the pres
ent time is expressed iu thetwo-told
query: "Is Hill behind Porter
Bros, in building the Oregon Trunk
Line, nnd if he is, is his present ac
tivity in the Deschutes canyon only
Tor the purpose of hampering Har
riomn and forcing valuable conces
sions from him elsewhere?" Let us
analyze the situation by means of
the various moves in the game and
see what conclusion we reach.
First, let it be remembered that
Hill, when he announced in Port
had in 1905 that he would build
the North Bank road, said that he
would be very apt to build a line
into Central Oregon at some future
date- Keeping this statement of
his mind, let us consider the per
sonality of the men who- are em
ployed in building the Oregon
Trunk Line.
Porter Bros., who claim to have
bought the Oregon Trunk's sur
veys, have built railroads for Hill
for years. V. N. Bethel, the chief
engineer of the Oregon Trunk
Line, was right-cf-way man for
Hill's North Bank road and later
did much of the engineering work
on it. T. H. Han ford, who was
construction engineer on the North
Bank, is now working with Porter
Bros, on the Oregon Trnnk Line.
Janes B. Kerr of Portland, attor
ney for Hill's North Bank road, is
also looking after legal matters for
the Oregon Trunk Line. And the
famous James F. Stevens, who is
conceded to be Hill's foremost en
gineer, holds secret conferences in
Portland with Porter Pros., Bethel
and Hanford. Furthermore, h is
reported that Bethel has quietly
made surveys across the Columbia
at The Dalles in order to be able to
estimate on the cost of a bridge at
that place, thus indicating that the
Oregon Trunk Line will be con
nected with Hill's North Bank
road. When it is considered that
so many men who have formerly
been Hill's right band lieutenants,
are now connected with the Oregon
Trunk Line, does it not indicate
beyoad question that Hill is the
power behind the latter- line? If
not, how does it happen that so
many of bis lieutenants show up so
suddenly in the ranks of the Ore
gon Trunk Line?
Why should the Great Northern
magnate want a railroad into Cen
tral Oregon? First, there will be a
great amount of traffic in lumber,
livestock, agricultural prodncts, etc.
from this part of the state an em
pire in itself. Hill wauls his share
of that. It is universally admitted
that it has been an ambition of
Hilt's for years to build a lipe to
Sao Francisco. He can not get
suitable grades west of the Cascade
mountains, as witness the action of
the Southern PaciGcin building the
Natron-Klamath cutoff and swing
ing across to the east of the Cas
cades in order to avoid the Siski
yous. The other alternative would
be for him to build through Central
Oregon on his way to the Golden
Gate. A water level line up the
WBDNKSDAY, AUG, 4, 1909-
Deschutes affords a practical unap
propriated inlet to the state from
the north. By building across the
state to Lakevlew, he can secure a
route direct to San Francisco by
building down the canyons of Pitt
and Sacramento rivers or he can
perhaps connect with the N.-C.-O.
which would give him a line to
Carson City and from that point
there k another water level route
to Sao Francisco. The N.-C.-O.
has announced that it will extend
its line from Alturas to Lnkcvicw
and then northward to The Dalles.
There is a strong suspicion that the
N.-C.'O. and the Oregou Trunk
Line may be working together.
Thus it is -seen that there ore
strong reasons to believe that Hill
is backing Porter Bros., and also
that it is possible for him to get a
very good route into San Francisco
by building through Central Ore
gon. The other question is: "Is Hill
hampering Harrimau along the
Deschutes merely to force conces
sions from him?"
If that were Hill's game, he
would care nothiuc about the cen
tral and southern puts of the state.
The traffic possibilities of this sec
tion would have no interest for him
inasmuch as he would not intend to
build into it. But, on the contrary,
judging from the actions of his lieu
tenants, this section has great at
tractions for him.
If Hill had no intentions of build
ing and was only hampering Harri
mau, what was bis object in send
ing John F. Stevens throughout
the entire central and southern por
tions of the state on n trip of in
spection? If his is a hold-up game, why did
W. N. Bethel spend several weeks
iu a careful examination of the Des
chutes canyon between Bend and
Laidtaw and north of Laldlaw?
II he has no intention of building
into Central Oregon, why have
Porter Bros, made numerous trips

THE ADS. make "management" of
"money matters" in the home POS
SIBLE. The wife who always
studies tbo add. Is working in business
partnership with tli.' husband who, sup
posedly, has to "know thiupn" in order
to EARN the money. On her part, the
wife comes to know values, and prices,
and where and when and how to buy
and such knowledge, such education,
comes chiefly through reading and an
swering ads.

through Bend utid south into Cal
ifornia? One of the Porter Bros, has an
nounced that he would be through
her agalu n n week or two. Why
should he conic, if they arc only
playing a hold-up game for Hill 011
the lower Deschutes?
If their game is simply to hinder
and lmrrass llarriman, why all this
interest in this part of the state?
The supposition that Porter Bros.
arc merely attempting to hold up
Harrimau iu order to force him to
buy them out is absurd. llarri
man, with the millions he has be
hind him, could crush Porter Bros,
in short order, and Porter Bros,
know it. Furthermore, their record
is that of railroad builders; not pi
ratical holdup obstructionists.
The only logical conclusion i
that Hill in supplying the sinews of
war for Porter Bros, and that he in
tends to build a road across lift:
state on his wav to San Francisco.
Will Bend Get llor Share?
No less than 35,668,670 people
throughout the United States will
have their attention drawn to Ore
gon as the land of opportunity dur
tug the coming three months by a
great advertising campaign to be
conducted by the Portland Commer
cial Club, says an exchange. The
leading agricultural papers and the
weekly editions of the big dailies
will be used. There is no question
that the campaign will direct the
movement of thousands of people
to this state. The advertisement

will carry the familiar ovul, with
the slogan "Oregou Is the Place
For You" iu large letters, nnd those
at all interested are urged to ask
for literature nnd information about
Oregon. The advertisement In
forms the reader that railroad rates
are the same to all parts of Oregon
from the East and Oregon commer
cial bodies will be supplied with ad
dresses of nil enquirers so that the
whole state may profit by this ad
vertising, although Portland will
bear all the expense. It is claimed
that no other city iu the world ever
did a like thing.
It is urged that all get in line
for this valuable publicity. People
of the Eust who ask about this
state should be answered promptly
and fully byourcammcrciul bodies.
Iu this way, it is believed, very
great benefits will follow for all
Oregon.
This is the more important now
that the colonist rates have been
decided upon by the railroads. Re
duced one-way tickets will be sold
to all Pacific coast points from the
Hast and Middle West for colonists
and hotneseekers who desire to
come here. The advertising' cam
paign for settlers will be well sup
plemented by these attractive rates,
and the result is sure to lie a hcavv
influx of hoineseekcrs and investors
to every part of Oregou where the
present residents have about them
progressiveness enough to boost for
their own community and their own
interests. Conditions at present
are particularly favorable for Bend's
commercial club and Bend people
in general to start on advertising
campaign that would he certain to
produce the desired results. The
eyes of the nation are being drawn
to Central Oregon by the struggle
of the railroad titans for an advan
tageous foothold in this rich though
undeveloped territory, and if Bend
will lift up her voice and let the
people know what we have here
for them, a rapid growth for our
city is assured. Shall we grasp
the opportunity or will you follow
the example of the sluggard who
continued. to "slug?"
Djd you ever consider how much
more pleasant your town would be
if, instead of the streets being full
of weeds and trash and loose rock,
they were kept scrupulously clean
and bad a ditch of clear water run
ning down each side through a
strip of green sod? This could
easily be dune iu Bend, It would
increase the property valuations far
more, than it would cost.
Wonder whether, within a year,
travelers at the Union Station, will
hear the trainmaster call out, "A
aboard for Bend and Princvlllc?"
