Right of Way Purchase Reported Across Deschutes Ranch
A report claims Mr Brown sold a right of way across his Deschutes river ranch to Harriman interests for 2500 amid pending talks with Oregon Trunk Line. The Brown ranch below Trout creek is sought after but previously resisted railroad access, with condemnation feared without an amicable settlement. It is unclear if a final deal closes with Oregon Trunk Line though survey activity and prior ROW purchases suggest ongoing negotiations.

Harriman party maps three lines across Willow Creek near Madras
Engineers under HW J Roberts camped at Madras for weeks and located three railroad lines across Willow Creek. One line crosses Willow Creek near the dam on Phillips place and would require a high bridge. A second line goes up to the Agency Plain top and crosses Willow Creek at the head of the canyon. The third line follows the old Columbia Southern Extension survey near the Madras mill and is deemed the most likely route. Grades stay under 1.5 percent on the south side and under 1.2 percent elsewhere. The Roberts party finished locating to Madras and plans to move camp late this week.
