It Kackrd by Louis IIIH.
The first ruu ha been fired in
tile campaign of Central Oregon
publicity by the Great Northern
railroad. A aplendld folder cntl
tied "Opening up Central Oregon"
lias just been published by Iouls
Hill's road, 75.000 copies of which
are now being put in the hands of
the land hungry and the home and
investment Keeker in every comer of
America, The pamphlet is the
forerunner of n far larger booklet
on Central Oregon to be published
by the Great Northern, which is
now in preparation.
The advance booklet describe
Central Oregon in detail, Kiting
forth with merited enthusiasm the
advantages it offer the settler, with
twrtlaita- reference to the home
stewt and "dry land" opculnga,
while irrigation, lumbering and
Manufacturing possibilities are
strongly outlined.
Some introductory extracts illui

The leaflet is handsomely execu
ted in two colors, An excellent
map shows the new railroad from
the Columbia extending (o Bend ns
a terminus. The Iknd school is
one ol the most taking illustrations
while a number of Deschutes Val
ley views and settlers' letters make
thisnsjincn publicity production
as any issued In Oregon. It is un
derstood that the Iiend Commer
cial club will receive a large num
ber of copies for advantageous dis
tribution. Louis Hill recently said:
Our policy will be to begin systematic

Central Oregon publicity work
has received other notable "boosts"
during the last week. Sunday's
Orcgonion contained at large map
showing the several Hill lines in
the state, under construction and
projected, with Iknd, as predicted,
the junction point of the south
eastern title with the north and
south Oregon Trunk road. Arti
cles concerning Bend and the rail
road development are appearing
almost daily In the Portland Press
and that oi the other coast cities
The Journal, it is understood, will
Fiublisb a long Ucnd Country article
n next Sunday issue, while the
Chamber ot Commerce Bulletin of
Portland has ordered a similar story
from the secretary of the local Com
mercial Club.

T
RUCTION

BEGINS AT
r
TS ARE BEING LET
Grading From Madras to Klamath Res
ervation Immediate Move Con
tracts Awarded this Week.
Work on the grading of the Ore
gon Trunk Line from Madras to
the northern line of the Klamath
Indian reservation is to commence
by May 1.
Such is the announcement made
last week from Portland. Bids on
the construction of the ill miles of
road Involved in this stretch are to
be opened at the Great Northern
oUices on the 18th of this month.
The terms of the contract will call
for the commencement of work
within ten days after the contract
is awarded and for completion of
the grading hy January 1, 1911.
The contract, it is understood, will
include all work preliminary to the
arrival of the locomotives with the
exception of bridge building and
track-laying. The bridge material
will be ordered, however, and con
tracts let for the larger structures
so that the tract-laying can follow
completion of grading closely.
While the end of the operations
called for. hy this contract is nt the
Klamath Indian Reservation it is
not for a minute considered that
any intention exists of baiting the
construction work at such a point,
even temporarily. However, right-
of-way lias been purchased tbat far,
and until the governments permis
sion to cross the Indian lands is
secured and final surveys completed
to Klamath, no contracts beyond
the reservation can be let.
Car loads of scrapers and other
construction paraphernalia are now
iu Sbaniko, and immediately will
be freighted into Bend. Ikfore the
end of the month large crews of
workers will be operating both to
the north and south of this point.
It is understood that the heaviest
stretch of con nt ruction work en
countered south of Madras lies be
tween Bend and Lava Butte, and it
is there that the greatest force of
men will be employed to keep pace
with the lighter work northward.
Bend, then, will have many large
camps in close proximity for ten
months and more. P. O. Gentry,
the resident engineer on this sec
tion of the work, will have his
headquarters is Bend.
Por the last ten days the country
has been more or Irss inundated
with railroad contractors looking
over the field. It is generally be
lieved that the Madras-Klamath
work may not go to Porter Broth
ers, who have the Deschutes Can
yon stretch, but to either Donald
Grant or the firm of Wilson and
Heckman, both of whom have been
investigating the prospects very in
dustriously.'
The locating survey work on tbe
southeasterly line from Bend to
wards Burns is well under way, it
is understood. Indeed there seta
every reason to believe tbat con
struction in this direction will be
undertaken perhaps even before tbe
completion of the main road to
Bend.

CITY COUNCIL MEBTINO.
Q.'vea RaHread Right-of-Way Over
CertaM Streets.
At a meeting of the city council last
night a resolution wa adopted giving
the Orecon Trunk Railroad right of way
aero, afi itreet and alleys between Fir
anil Koa avenues. Tbi action, however,
was conditional to the provitlon by the
railroad of two suitable crossing.
Tbe council futbermore provided for
the immediate conjunction of aix foot
dde walk on each tide of Oregon itreet
west of Wall street.
lartaM Dry Klfa at MM.
It is announced tbat the Pilot
Butte Development Company will
install a dry kiln at their si ill im
mediately. The new kiln, whose
daily capacity will be about 5000
lect of lumber, is now on the road
from Sbaniko, and will be set up
and put in operation at once upos
its arrival in Bend. The heavy
and daily increasing demand for
seasoned tomber for tbe many build
ings, both those under construction
and being planned, has led the mill
people to rush in the kiln, the local
supply of dry lumber not being able
to keep pace with the dcma&d.
Hereafter, it is understood, there
will be an ample supply of well
seasoned building material always
on hand.
