CENTRAL POINT HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER C, lbUti, , Vs. Railroad Ashland, Sefrt. l.-T h e "springs" which caused the big slide on the South- are Pacific railroad track at Cantara, ia the Sacramento River Canyon, 112 Miles south of Ashland, blockading the track for days and still necessitating a transfer around the obstructions by teams overawagon roadfivemiles long, from Dunsmuir to Mott, are made by an irrigation ditch, with which a ranch er named Branatetter distributes moist- are over an orchard which he owns above the railroad track at that point. According to the story that comes here from the scene, Branstettcr is standing strictly upon his rights to Irrigate his orchard even if it blocks traffic on the main line of the Southern Ptcific between Portland and San Fran cisco for all time to come. Several times already has the South ern Pacific bad expensive slides at this point, which it is alleged are due to Branstetter's irrigation ditch, but the present one is the most extensive and expensive one'the company has yet had to contend with. It is over 300 feet long and is from ’ 0 to 12 feet in depth across the track for this distance. Two big steam shovels and 200 or 300 men are at work removing the obstruction but with the best possible progress sev eral days will be required to clear it. Meantime trains are running to Mott from the north and to Dunsmuir from the south and the wagon transfers made between these points five miles apart. It is said the railroad company has repeatedly offered to purchase Branstet- ter'a property as a matterof protection and has offered him as much as $6000 for the place, which it is generally con ceded is much more than it is worth for the returns it will yield its owner year by year. Branatetter it is Raid has a grudge against the compaty which date? from construction days when he thought he got the worst of some sort of a right-of-way deal through his property. Although Branstetter has lost con siderable o f his land already through these slides, there is enough left yet It Is said to provide many more ob structions should other portions of it take a notion to slough off down his hillside and upon the railroad track.
