LINE PROJECTED.
Cornell Company Wants liend and
(turns to Co-operato In Improving
Rood Through Homestead Land
Project Progresses Well.
Just ns soon as the road between
the two points can be put iu good
condition the Coructt Stage and
Auto Co. will operate stage and
automobile lines between Bend and
Hums. Such is the announcement
made by G. M. Cornell, liend of
the big Central Oregon stage com
pany. It is also almost certain that with
the allotment of the new mail con
tracts in March, and the reorganiz
ation of the mail service of the In
terior that will follow the arrival of
the railroads and the discontinuance
ofthco'd Shauiko routes, a mail
route will be inaugurated from Bend
to the Harney county scut.
Mr, Cornett is so interested in
the scheme and so desirious of get
ting it into immediate oeraton
that he has taken it up with the
Bend Commercial Club. He de
sires that the local organization get
into touch with the Burns boosters
for the purpose of cooperating iu
the work of improving the Bend
Burns road. Manager Sawhill has
received Mr. Cornell's assurance
that hc will furnish an auto to take
a committee from the Bend Com
mercial Club to Burns to take up
this matter.
t
With two unimportant exceptions 1
the Bend-Burns road is an excellent
one. The first of these is at a point I
some seven miles from Bend, where
a new road passes about, the ,Mc-i
Gillvrny ranch; here there is of
snort mil sicep uiu. n nine wort:
conld change the road's route and
eliminate the hill. There is anoth
er double hill some 'six mile west of
Millican's which can be done away
with very easily.
Tne proposed route encounters no
hills worth mcutiou-ng, passing
through a level or slightly rolling
country. Practically all the terri
tory traversed is free from rock and
there is little or no adobe. Those
familiar with the route declare an
almost perfect road can be mad.
and maintained at 'very slight ex
pense. On the map appearing on page

ROii
MS
west railroad survey from Bend to
Vnle practically is followed by the
proposed stage route. The only
; exception is thai the stage road
passes to the south of Hampton
Butte, thence running north cast
ward to Burns.
This mail route would serve the
proposed postoOlce of Millican.
Rolyat, Held, nnd nil the homestead
country in the .Millican, River Bed,
Juniper Valley and Hampton Val
ley districts as welt as furnishing
direct communication with Burns
and the southeast. It would great
ly hasten the development of this
large territory, and assi-it this sum
mer's settlers who will take up tkc
last of the remaining 320 acre
homesteads. For it is estimated
that the big rush of land seekrs ac
companying the coming of the rail
road will gobble up the couple of
hundred thousand acres of free land
that still remain before autumn.
TO VIEW OUT ROAD.
Party Will (Jo From Bend to Prospect
Proposed Route.
Yesterday's development in re
gard to the proposed Bend-Burns
road is that a committee will go
part way over the route the latter
part of this week to view out the
best road and discuss the matter
with settlers in the affected territory
preparatory to getting up a petition
and taking the matter up with the
Burns Commercial Club.
A C. Lucas has donated the use
of his car for this work. Road
Supervisor Richardson will be a
member of the party: other mem
bers may be W. H. Staats, S. C.
Caldwell and one or two of the lo
cutcrs familiar with the territory.

The following letter from Held.

ger Sawhill of the Bend Commer
cial Club.. It shows the support.
the proposed Bcnd-uurns postal
route will receive from the inhab
itants of the territory traversed.
HKLD, Oregon. Jan. aj, I wti told by
tome one that Bend wa trjlujj to opt n
a ataf;e and mail route from there to
Ilurut.
We ore trying for a mall route here
ami the Prineville Commercial Club have
been doing aomethhig toward tbe mail
route.
But hearing that you were trying to
put on a stage to Burns we would prefer
to put our tllorts toward four alni a it
would be a permanent thing for tome
time to come, a naturally mail route
will operate only from railroad point.
There it a large settlement hce that
It too far south and west for any route
Irotn I'rineville to touch, and anv local
route would bt only weekly at bet.
We are on the main line from Bend to
Dunn ami will endeavor, if tbe stage
goet that way to open a postoffice. Any
information ou can gvc me concerning
the matter will be appreciated. I will
do anything 1 can to help and thank you
for the information.
