Inc. in Oregon. Very low number 7, issued for one share to JP O'Brien on Jan. 25th, 1910. Signed by president Sutherland and the secretary. Pen cancelled. Black border and print, gold seal, and locomotive vignette. Folds, staining along the bottom. 8.5 x 11" Deschutes Railroad War began in 1908 when 2 competing railroad companies, the Deschutes and Oregon Trunk Railway, started building lines from the mouth of Deschutes River across central Oregon. A Union Pacific subsidiary, Deschutes Railroad, was owned by Edward H. Harriman and the Oregon Trunk was owned by James J. Hill. Harriman was the 1st to begin construction and decided that the eastern side of the river would be the best route. Hill began building his own line on the western side. In the Deschutes River Canyon, the 2 roads ran side-by-side or shared the same rails and terminals. Following years brought many legal disputes to decide which company should have sole access to the canyon. Competing construction crews would often blow up the other side's supplies by igniting their supplies of black powder. Boulders were dumped onto camps, and small gunfights broke out. Casualties remained light though and by 1912 the 2 railroads were operating on mostly separate lines. City: Portland State: Oregon Date: 1910
