While nowspnper stories about
tlio early building of the Des
chutes railroad have npossimislic
trend, stnting that thero are
mnny obstacles yet in the way of
Harrimnn before ho can go ahead
and build tho road, tho fact that
Harriman right of wav agents
are in Crook county nt present
paying spot cash for right of way
and buying town lots in the
points nlong the survey, would
indicate thnt thero will soon be
somo railroad building done in
tho direction of Central Oregon.
"I left a number of ranchors
around Madras busy counting up
their wealth, "snid an Agency
Plnins farmer, who arrived in
Prineville last Sunday evening,
The Harrimnn ngent has been
thero tho past few days buying
right of way, paying cash for
what he got and not wasting any
lime dickering with Iho Innd
holders, either. When the ran
cher would name a reasonable
price for tho land tho agent
would do a stunt with a fountain
pen on a check book, and the
deal was closed then and there."
"I sold the Harriman right of
way man ?80() worth of town lots

tho other day' said Howard V.
Jones', of the capital of the des
ert last MOndny, while in Pnnr
ville. "He came into our office
and wanted to see (ho plats, then
we went out to look nt tho lots
and he forked over tho $800 with
out asking any questions, I
heard ho bought some lots in
Madras, too, but I can't vouch
for tho truth of that. But I
know ho bought tho lots in Red
mond nnd enn swear to it for I
sold them to him myself.'
From what can be learned the
agent is buying right of way for
tho survey which passes over tho
south end of Agency Plains on
tho-bluffs just west of Mndrns
townsite, crosses Willow Creek
gorge on a high bridgo nnd runs
south around Juniper Butte, to
tho Crooked river canyon wlioto

Poto Mnrnnch, who owns a
ranch in the Methodist Hill coun

to tho right of way agent, The

Tho most imporlnnl subject

of tho two delegates from Coos

attend tho congress, fired nil the
delegates with enthusiasm. That
enterprising city on the coast
has raised a fund for a railroad
survey and lu,u employed ono of
tho most competent engineers of
