Walter Scott, better known as
"Scotty," the Death Valley Mys

Friday from his mining property
located in Black canyon, in tho
Humboldt range, says the Hum

like any other prospector and
purchased a bill of grub, which
ho took to camp. He is not tho
"Scotty" of old who made such
dazzling displays of wealth. Al
though he seemed to be well
supplied with money it was of
smaller denominations than when
ho (lashed $1,000 bills to pay for
a round of drinks. His money
this time was of tho white metal
and he had a pocketful of it, for

pulled out a full handful of sil

Tho construction of a railway
from Coos Bay, across tho stato

Tlio following interesting ar
ticle regarding tho Central Ore
gon railroad situation wns writ
ten by William E Curtis, special
correspondent for tho Chicago
Record-Herald:
If you will look on your mnp
of the Pacific Northwest, you
will bco a great triangle formed
by tho Oregon Short Lino and
tho Oregon Railroad & Naviga
tion company's tracks on tho
north, and the Southern Pacific
on the south and west, Ogden,
Utnh, and Pocntello, Idaho, are
at tho apex; Portland at the
northwest and Sacramento nt
tho southwest angles. This tri
angle embraces two thirds of the
area of Oregon; tho northern
ono third of Nevada; about one
fifth of California, and three
counties of Idaho, a territory
about us largo as Illinois and In
diana combined. It is the Inrgcst
section of tho United States with
out railway facilities, and it
seems strange that no company
has over built in there
Tho important part of the
territory is Central Oregon, 200
squnro miles of wonderful latent
wealth, which only nwaiUt trans
portation facilities to rcalizo a
development as rapid and as
profitable as other portions of
Oregon. It is larger than the
famous Willamette valley, and is
similar in tho variety of its re
sources. There aro millions of
acres of agricultural hind, enor
mous forests and vast ranges
along the mountain slopes upon
which herds of cattle and sheep
aro now grazing. The country
is now quite well settled by far
mers and ranchmen. It produ
ces several million pounds of
wool, several million bushels of
wheat and other staples, which
nro hauled in caravans of wagons
by teams of six to twenty horses
over tho trails to the nearest
railway points. And, notwith
standing the heavy cost of this
form of transportation, both
wool growing and cultivation
of the soil nro profitable.
As in other parts of Oregon,
the rainfall is sufficient for wheat,
oats and other grains, but vege
tables and fruit require irrigation,
and Inrgo tracts of arid land must
have artificial moisture in order
to bo utilized. Tho water supply
is abundant. Tho mnp shows
innumerable little streams and
sovcral largo rivers, and tho set
tlers in many places have al
ready formed co-oporativo com
panies for building irrigating
cannls.
In tho mour.'iin ranges which
traverso Central Oregon thero
aro said to bo rich deposits of
gold, copper, Bilver and lead, but
they have Jiovcr been developed
or oven explored, so that the
mineral wealth of tho trianglo 1
hnvo descri ied is merely a mat
ter of conjecturo, but agriculture,
forestry, fruit raising nnd dairy
ing will furnish occupation nnd
support for half n million peoplo
tit leant.
Whilo thero aro no relinblo sta
tistics available, it is estimated
that at lciist ono half of tho ter
ritory is unoccupied government
on file in tho ofilces of the engi
neers, of both tho Hill nnd Hurri-
mau systems, which, as every
body knows, nro antagonistic,
and aro supposed to bo deter
mined to resist encroachments
upon their respective territory.
ThtiB far tho Harriman lines
have gone only as far north as
Butte, MonU, nnd to Seattle, but
Mr. Hill hns recently invaded
tho Harriman territory nt a C03t
of $50,000,000 by lnying- a track
along tho north bank of the Col
umbia river from Spokane to
Portland.
A treaty of peaco has recently
been entered into by tho rival
systems so far as the Puget
Sound country is concerned. A
joint agreement, by which the
Northern Pacific will bo given a
monopoly along tho coast of the
sound from Scnttlo to Vancauver,
B. C, hns been signed by tho
officials of tho Union Pacific, the
Southern Pacific, tho Great Nor
thern and tho Northern Pncific.
Under this arrangement, the
Northern Pacific will construct
two or three, nnd if necessary
four tracks, from Seattle to Van
couver, and will haul the through
cars of all roads. But this evi
dence of harmony and coopera
tion docs not npply to tho devel
opment of Central Oregon.
Mr. Harriman has promised
for several yours that ho would
furnish tlio peoplo of that section
with the facilities they require,
but he did nothing. There hnd
been a great deal of complaint
about his indifference, and news
papers of Oregon demanded that
lie should spend at least a portion
of tho largo sums of monoy that
i three thousand men wero cm-
' Tilnirn1 mm tvtiiwlltr nn tlinir nntllfl
be procured and thero was a
great show of ncli vily. This was
explained when Mr. Stevens dis
closed his presence in n inlhor
dramatic manner by an announ
cement that ho had purchased
tho franchizo and nil the rights
and property of tho Oregon
Trunk company, with money
furnished by Jnmcs J. Hill, per
sonally, and intended to build n
bridgo over the Columbia river
at tho mouth of tho Deschutes
canyon so as to got an outlet
over tho North Bank road to
Portlnnd nnd to Spokane. From
tho latter point he would have
connections with tho east over
tho Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. Mr. Stevens made
it very clear that Mr. Hill per
sonally was behind him, and ho
intended to develop central Oro
gon and the triangle I have de
scribed by the construction of
whatever railroads were necess
ary.

MEN'S OPPORTUNITIES 0HEAT.
It is very common to hear peo
plo say, "I came to this country
10 years too late; the great op
portunities of getting cheap lands
and entering into business have
all been taken." This is tho
rankest kind of nonsense. There
never was a time in the history
of Eastern Oregon when there
was a chance for the man who
has his head screwed on right
that there is today.
Often wo hear somo one re
mark: "Well, if I had only gone
into Rye Valley whon Walter
Fcrnnld nnd the other old-timers
did I would havo been wealthy,
too." No, vou are mistaken,
for a man who views things in
mis ngni wouitt never prosper
no matter what his environments
might bo. Had ho been in Rye
Valley in the early days he would
havo pined his life away because
the country was sparccly settled
and in a fit of despondency would
havo traded everything ho had
for a saddle horse to rido to
Umatilla Landing, whero lie
could get away from tho solitude
of Eastern Oregon.
The fact is, today is the great
time, for all arc located in this
section of tho country. Tho
