Three Uonlti. .1.0 Ul.t.VM IIVUH - - - WIIBRB IS HARRIMAN? WhoroisMr. Hnrriman? Whoro is the Deschutes railroad? ' What of the promises that tho lino would bo built as soon as right of way could bo secured? Tho seasons como and go and tho flowers bloom and fade. Wo have official assuranco from tho reclamation service that it otters, no objection to tho Deschutes line. Wo have tho further as surance that it wants the lino into central Oregon. It says Oregon offers tho greatest field for irrigation of any state in the union. Its unreclaimed areas of fer the greatest number of homes to land seeking settlers. Its powers for wealth through the toil of those who would till re claimed soil is beyond that of any other state. Its opportunity for adding to the producing wealth by settlement of desert areas is unequnlcd. So says the reclamation service, which was given exhaustive study to the subject hero and otherwhere. But tho arid sections of the tho state have no railroads. The Deschutes lino is neither built nor building. Without railroads the cost of transporting mater ials for reclamation projects is beyond reach. It makes pro jects in irrigation impossible. Great sections aro'"vatc and great areas unoccupied for lack of railroad facilities. Millions extorted from Oregon are spent in fighting Hill in Washington. Other millions wrung from Ore gon industry and toil are ex pended in building Harriman lines all over the country. All this, with a further heavy toll on Oregon lifo for fat dividends for Wall street, and with great dis tricts of central Oregon waste and wasting for the lack of a railroad line, is Mr. Harriman. We have his promises. We have the right of way for him. Wc have the traffic for him. Wo have given him time without li mit and money without stint But we have no beginnings of a Deschutes railroad. Whore is Mr. Harriman? Journal. Lack of transportation seems to be tho only draw back to this section. This is tho key-note ti the whole situation. According to Mr. Newell and is all that pre vents the government from un dertaking large irrigation pro jects in the interior. It prevents the tilling of large areas because of there being no markets for our products; it causes many to hold back from coming in and invest ing for the purpose of develop ment Mr. Newell 's recent in terview in the Oregonian io a strong argument toward the dis trict aided railroad building plan suggested by tho recent enabling and unless .conditions change it will carry by an almost unani mous vote at the next election. The Willamette valley is covered with transportation lines and yet these, people aro quite favorable to the proposition of district aid ed roads, as they want other lines. But they particularly favor opening up the interior as they realize the necessity of placing this section within easy reach of the markets. Tho great interior is not considered a com petitor in any respect, as the Willamette Valley is no longer a grain section. They want a mar ket for their fruit and nuts and in exchange desire our grain and sugar beet products. Well, Weill a letter from the "boss" says hp would really like to come homo and got warm. Talk about our spring being cold and backward. Vcgitation is really farther advanced hero than in portions of tho Willamette valley. There hops, grain and garden haven't mado the general growth like crops have in this section and it has been quite cold all tho time. There has been but one shower of rain this month and tho balanco of the time it has been too cold to rain. UP TO REGENTS NEXT MONDAY. Tho "boss" spent tho fore pan of this week at tho Agricultural College town Corvallis. Ho had tho pleasure of meeting Presi dent Kerr and discuss dm pros pects for tho Dry Demonstration Farm. Unfortunately President Kerr had not yet received tho who woro asking for tho station tiicrcforo ho W3 not in a posi tion to. go over tho various data. However, had ho been in pos- ossion of tho report it is not likely ho would have expressed himself. Ho said it was possible tho report would go to tho board of regents without recommenda tion, but this is not likely. In discussing tho matter with Gov. Benson tho other dny.Tho Timea Horald man found thnt tho re gents really makes tho selection but thoy will bo govorncd almo t entirely by tho recommendations of tho fnculty. Pros. Kerr frankly admitted that should he find it necessary ho would not shirk tho responsibility but would suggest his choice. In talking of tho matter with Prof. Scuddor it was found that ho would tnko quite-' an active part. Prof. Scudder says it is tho desire to place it where it will do the most good not nec- ossarily tho densely settled dis tricts, nor cithor tho largest ar ea-other features and condi tions would enter into considera tion. Prof Scudder would not venture a suggestion as to tho final decision, but from his con versation wo feel that our lack of transportation will bo the on ly "drawback to tho establishment of tho station in Harnov county. This, ho stated frankly was to our disadvantage nnd would en ter into the final decision. His repented remark that if we didn't get 'this one wo would got a sta tion later, did not sound renssur nig and leaves a moro or less doubt Tho board of regents will meet next Monday when the matter will be settled. Harney county students at the 0. A. C. arc taking a high rank in the school both in their stud iea and in athletics. All ouAoys arc well, Mason Smith having just recovered from an attack of measels. Neil Smith graduates this year in the electrical engineering de partment, Mervin Horton nnd Koswell Hamilton in pharmacy. Tho other boys have one, two and three years yet A track meet was a feature lost Monday between tho 0. A. C. and University of Idaho. Oregon won by a good margin, but Idaho had some good ath lotes. The "boss" had an ap pointment with Prof. Scudder nncl did not get to seo all the contests, but saw some of them. Koswell Hamilton was the on ly one of our Harney county boys to participate in the meet on that occasion, but Clifford Reed, Mervin Horton and Roswell Hamilton belong to tho champ ion basket ball team of tho state and "Teddy" is captain for the coming year. Frank Thompson has always thrown his man in wrestling contests and is high in running events. Neil Smith has not been active in athletics this spring but had place in tho first teams last fall. Lateii If the location of tho Dry Demonstration Farm is left to tho board of regents of tho 0. A. C. without recommendation from tho committee which made the examination of tho various counties. Harney county will get it. This is tho information re ceived from the "boss" in a let tor from Albany, tho homo of Judge J. K. Weatherford. Even though tho faculty should make suggestions it is possible thoy will bo ignored if not favorable to this section. The Times-Her ald does not consider it advisable to state with positiveness its source of information or from whom this assuring information comes at this time, but somo strong argument favoring Har ney County will bo in evidence beforo the board of rcgonts next Monday nnd it will effect tho ob jection to our isolation and lack of transportation. From indica tions wo have every advantage and may feel quite confident of success. Tho lawprovides that tho board of regents shall locate tho sta tion and somo of tho members of that board aronot going to bo dictated to or allow .any Interfer ence with their prerogative. OOWAN (TOES; SSW. A. Gownn, tho clork of tho JJ. S. Land Office, hna been ap pointed a special ngont for tlio Government Land Department in tho Salt Lnko District. Mr. Gowan ia a yory capablo man, and however sorry tho poo plo of tho town will bo at losing Mr. and Mrs. Gowp:, they aro glad of his well deserved promo tion. Thoy will leave about Juno 1st.
