A lengthy article in the last is
sue ot llie Ulue Mt. Laglo gives
a graphic description of the coun
try and experiences of one com
ing into the great Hnrney"coun
try by tho wny of Austin. In
closing tho article says:
Hours before Burns is reached
great Harney valley stretches out
to view and looking over the lev
el intervening space between the
stage and its destination it seems
that a short lime will bring the
journey loan end. But the short
time extends to hours for it is
high noon before the halt is
made in front of the hotel and
you write your name on the reg
ister and aro ready for your first
dinner at Burns.
Burns is the future Spokane
of Oregon. She is the capital
city of an empire and her poten
tial resources are as great as
some of the lesser empires of
the world. The valley over
which she is mistress lias an
extent of nearly a hundred
miles and somo of it as rich as a
florists' hot house. The Blue Mt
Rapid Transit Stage Line operat
ed by L. Woldenberg, furnishes
as good a service as can bo ex
pected and uncomplainingly the
people can look to this well-equip
ped mode of transportation in
I the future as they havo in the
past, but it is not the people of
this prosperous section, who are
alone concerned. Portland needs
the great Harney valley, the rest
of the state needs it. But the
great wealth of this county and
the wealth which it is possible to
produce can never be hauled out
on a stage nor developed when
this is the only means of trans
portation. Some llarrimnn or

Formal acceptance of tho Des
chutes route into central Oregon
as proposed by J. P. O'Brien,
general manager of tho 0. R. &
N., has been made by Mr. llar
rimnn, according to a telegram
sent Mr. O'Brien yesterday after
noon, says the Journal. Whilo
this does not change tho faco of
tho Central Oregon situation
materially, it places Iho stamp
of tho llarrimnn approval on the
Deschutes lines and authorizes
tho commencement of work ns
soon as tho right of way is per
fected. Mr. Cotton, who nnnounced at
tho chamber of commerco meet
ing last week that he had been
unsuccessfully striving for some
timo to got tho maps of tho Des
chutes lino npproved by tho sec
retary of tho interior in Wash
ington, D. C, will "now" know
that as soon ns tho maps are ap
proved, work on tho lino can bo
begun,
Up to yesterday tho llarrimnn
officials in Oregon havo been
working on a paper railway for
Contral Oregon. Threo routes
tho Deschutes, 'tho Corvnllls &
mondation of acceptance, there
was no certainty which, if any,
of the lines would bo built. Al
though Mr. Cotton spoke last
week as though tho acceptance
of tho maps was all that was
holdmg back the construction of
the. line, it had not actually been
determined that the lino would
bo constructed at all. Now the
Oregon officials have the assur
ance that tho Deschutes line can
bo built ns soon as they .fix up
their right of way troubles.
"Wo aro willing to pay a rea
sonable market price for the land
we need," said Mr. O'Brien this
morning, "but wcaro not willing
lo be robbed. If necessary we
will resort lo condemnation pro-
ccedings.nlthough wo do not like
to do this because il means fur
ther delay."
"I consider it may take a year
and a half to build the line from
its junction wjtli the main line of
tho 0. R. &. N. at tho mouth of
the Deschutes river to Redmond,
Crook county. The estimated
co3tis$'l,77;j,000nnd the distance
R50 miles."
Whether tho knowledge that if
they do get their right of way
they can go ahead with the work
of building the road will make
any difference with tho work of
the legal department in securing
recognition of the Deschutes
Railway company's maps can
only be conjectured. It is the
opinion of Portland business men,
however, that the announcement
made by Mr. O'Brien this morn
ing should not bo allowed in any
way to affect the action of the
state legislature on the constitu
tional amendment allowing the
state to build or aid in the build
ing of railroads and the passage
of the highway commission bill,
which have been proposed to
safeguard the interests of the
state in the future.

Not Enough Money In the U. S.
To do a Strictly Cash Business.
There aro over twenty thousand banks in the United States.
In these banks there is on deposit eleven dollars for every single
dollar of real money gold, silver and paper.
Business is carried on by the aid of the banks as could be done
in no other way. Ninety per cent, of the business is done without
handling n single dollar of real money, but with checks, drafts,
notes and other formB of credit.
A man deposits $100 to open a check account. Ho may issue
any number of checks to total that $100, to any number of persons.
Suppose one man receives his check for $25, ho brings thai check
to the bank and deposiles the amount lo his credit. Ho too may
issue a check lo another party for that $25. In not ono transaction
does any parly handle or sec a dollar of roa money."
The bank has made this system possible.
This bank renders a service to the people that is convenient to
business and safe for all parties. Our methods aro the choice of

This paper, whilo not inform
ed officially, does not believe that
Mr. Ilarrimau intends lo aban
don Central Oregon, nor does it
believe that the Telegram is do
ing right in belittling the wiz
ard's apparent dilatorincss in
beginning to grade. We do not
believe Mr. llarrimnn intends to
build up tho Deschutes, either,
and never have thought so, eith
er, for 110 miles of track costs
something to build and operate,
and tonnage from north of Agen
cy Plnins would never bring in
more than thrce-six-bits annual
ly. Mr. Harriman has given us
his definite promise, some thing
ho had never given before, to
build into Central Oregon, and
somehow, in spite of his delay,
wo think ho will make good.
When he does, what is more nat
ural than that he should select a
route that will yield a substan
tial tonnage in wheat and timber
from the very first year it is op
orated? Extension of the C. &
