Threatened Extension of G. g. E,

Crews are being added TO the survey
of the Corvallis & Eastern into central
Oregon, and belief is growing that
the recent visit TO that region by julius
Kruttschnitt, head of maintenance and
operation department; J. P. O'Brien,
general manager, and W. w. Cotton,
general attorney of the Hartman lines,
will result in the beginning of construc-
tion work within the next 80 days.
Crews of surveyors have been sent
into the field from several directions.
A A.crew equipped for two months field
work was started into the hills from
Detroit toward Hogg Pass several
weeks ago. Another crew took direc.
ton southeast from that point and will
look for easier grades over the summit.
A third crew was sent via Shaniko into
the Prineville country and today started
from that point toward Sisters, in
the foothills of the east slopes of the
Cascades. It,is now apparent that a
thorough reconnaissance is to be made
of the country from Detroit to Prime
vile and probably further east. p.m
When the high officials of the sys-
tenn returned from the Madras trip it
was reported from an undeniably good
authority that they had practically de-
cided to favor the extension of the Cor.
Wallis & Eastern to Madras and Prime
vile. There has been no official state
ment on the subject, but it has for
some time been known that Mr.. Harrl-
man was in the humor to build into
central Oregon and probably through
the state to Ontario should the string
ent labor conditions and other difficult
ties be somewhat modified for the
better this fall.
At the present time, it is said, there
is SO great scarcity of labor, and the
difficulties and delays in getting con-
struction material delivered are SO dis
couraging, that the railroad builders
are going slow in the Inauguration of
any new construction project.
These conditions favor the extension
of the Q. & E. as against the immedi-
ate building of the Oregon Eastern, for
it would be easier to get men to deliver
materials and supplies for this work
than for any other one of the central
Oregon routes under consideration.
Construction camps could be supplied
from the Shaniko terminus of the Co.
lumbIa Southern and the Idanah end
of the Corvallis & Eastern.
Residents of central Oregon say they
must have a railroad by the time the
cropping season arrives for grain next
year, in order TO determine the ques-
tion of crops to be put in. The C. &
E. route would give Cook county a
railroad quicker than any other survey
made.
In the meantime, many interested
persons are watching the progress of
the Nelson syndicate that is promoting
a railroad up the Deschutes river, ad-
mitted to be the best route for a rail.
road grade into central Oregon. 1t is
said the energy OF Hartman projected
extensions from the Willamette valley
into central Oregon will always be
govenored by the good or poor pros.
pect of competitors invading that field

pany have just completed rebuilding
their lines to Siletz. This Siletz line
was built several years ago by Scott
Lane, an enterprising Indian, and the
line and poles had gotten in bad con.

line from the Stanton place to Sietz has
been relocated and taken out of the
brush and timber and built in the open,
and will now give excellent service.

Trying Out His Friends

II walking the President likes to take difficult and
l. unircqucntcd routes, where hill climbing is nee
cssary. He doe, not stop at crossing streams, and
it is related that he led two companions across
the Chesapeake x OHIO canal here all had t. swim
One OF them had ON his good clothes; but he was
game and won the Presidents admiration. On an
other occasion the President and his companion
climbed steep and rocky hill side which meant real
business. Reaching the top after much effort
and not without some Slight damage, the President
looked around and remarked that they would go
down again.

There are some kinds of exercise enjoyed by Prcsi-

by many people For instance, the President likes
to chop trees and takes considerable pride in his
skill that line There is no better fun, he de

mown hay, the bright sunshine the stubbc fields,
and the freshness in the air make haynR delicious
The work becomes especially interesting if there is
storm approaching and YOU hurrying to get the
hay in the barn before the RAIN comes That adds
the zest OF contest and desire to accomplish results
which is always pleasure

derground workings on a lease on the
Florence, and when the electric power
line supplying the uoldfeld district
was zroken. and all power was shut

portly person of some 300 pounds, found
it impossible to fol ow their example
Several expeditions were tried in an
effort to get the chagrined visitor 70

found necessary to leave him at the

which was sixty mil $ away, was re-
paired and the power turned on again.
Victuals and beddi' & were lowered to
Shea, and after e'ev n hours imprison
ment he was hoisted to the surface.

Damage viii Reach into the
Thousands

1t is likely that the government will
be compelled to make some alterations
in the retaining dam at the northern
end of Lake Tahoe owing to the contin-
ual rise of the waters of the lake. Great
damage has already been done about
the lake and property hold RS have Pc
titioned the government officials to
take steps to give them relief by max
ing the outlet greater in order to pre-
vent the further rising of the waters.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable the outlet at Lake Tahoe does
not allow the passage Of as great q
quantity Of water as the average in
flow into the lake. This has been as
certained by measurements and esti-
mates made by the government en-
ployes who have been about the place
for years.
Thousands of dollars of damage have
resulted already from the rise Of the
waters and the property owners about
the lake are threatening to take ag-
gressive steps unless the government
officials act at once. Several threats
have been made to place a few sticks
of dynamite in such places - would
