The Railroad They Held a Meeting With The City and Left A railroad nnrty comtioficd of A. L. Mohlcr, E. HU Lytle, W. H. Kennedy, T. B. Wilcock, A. E. Hammond, Prof. French, and Ed Wright wuh in our city Wednedday. Miiwirn. Mohler, Wilcox, and Wright arriving Friday evening, while the halnnce of the party had fallen lo!iiiid,'and jcnt the night at C. W. Circle' ranch Udow town. The ignifkanceof .thi Vint can lieBt lie told with lirief personal of the party. Mr. Mohler i the President of the 0. U. & X. Company and in the ollicial representative of the I luminal! intereet. Mr. Lytle in the President o( the Columbia Southern Railway and has long had hi eye upon Central Oregon a a railroad field. Mr. Wilcox ia the representative of the Portland comineicial body and himmlf furniehe aliout one third of the traffic of theO. II. & X. Hailroad Company. An President of the 1'orlliind Flowering Mills Company he controls 15 mill situated in Oregon and Washington with a daily capacity of 8000 bar rels ol flour and as President ol the Pacific Coasl KlevatorCompany he controls 2110 warehouses in the same states situated on the Northern Pacific and 0. R. & X. Companies' lines. W. 11. Kennedy is the chief en gineer for the 0. R.A X. Company, and is with the party in his official capacity as is also Mr. Hammond, cluef engineer of the Columbia Southern. Prof. French, of the Idaho Slate University, is with the party for the purpose of investigating the soil, and iti adaptibility to the dif ferent staple products. Besides occupying the chair of agriculture in the state university at Moscow, he is also the director of the Gov ernment experiment station, and is a ri'cognized authority in his line. Mr. Wright is along as a repre sentative from the Oregonian staff. Instead of coming into our city by way of the Columbia Southern survey to Culver and then across the country here, as they bad origin ally intended, they came over the Shaniko stage road and the party sent from our city to do them honor and invite them to partake of our hospitality, missed them. As a consequence their advent was quiet, and their presence was not generally known for some time after tteir arrival. As soon, how ever, as their presence was known, they were waited upon by the busi ness men of the city, with whom the railroad officials made an en gagement to meet at the bank at 11a m. Saturday, for the purpose of discussing the different phases of the situation, and to learn what our citizens had to say in behalf if our immediate locality. A good sized crowd of representative business men were present on this occasion. Judge Brink called the meeting to order by n few well chosen re marks during the course of which said that over 400,000 acres of government land had been ap propriated for private use during the past 1(1 months and that our population had increased 20 per ent during the past year He was followed by Mr. Mohler, who made some very interesting and important statements. He said the ultimate future of the country was unquestioned, and that the 0. II. A X. Company, would do all it could to build this road, and that its in vestigation at the present time was honest and was based on pure ly honest motives. Mr. Wilcox spoke next and stated that his object was the building np of tho trade of Port land with this inland country which he rightly said belonged to Party's Visit The Business Men of Interesting News. hi city, and he said further that his city was going to make every effort to get it as a whole by encour aging railroad building from the north liefore some enterprise from the south walked aWay with the plum. His remarks were charac teristic of the shrewd business man that he is. He was followed by C. E. Lytle, who made a few brief remarks concerning the possibilities of the country. The one idea that the railroad party impressed upon the citizens was that of an honest and hearty co operation on their part They ask particularly for data concerning the volume of business done here. After short talks by W. A. Bell and M. II. Elliott, the meeting ad journed and the party left at 12:30 for Deschutes, where they spent Saturday night. Sunday morning they left for the south, and went far as Benham Fulls on the Des chutes. Wednesday and Thursday was spent on the Columbia South ern Survey, and following that, they returned to Shaniko, where Mr. Mohler has his private car. They expect to be hack in Portland within a week, ar.d their report will in all probability lie made public at that time. In conversation with the party we learn that it is their opinion i bevond a doubt that the extension will lie commenced this season, and pushed as rapidly as possible. The 0. R. & X. Company has had for some time past a party gather ing data from our section, as to its resources, and the amount ot busi ness done. It is said that the Ochoco, Haystack and Crooked River and tributary sections have commanded especial attentiog because of their fertility and possi bilities. As to the route of the extension we could learn little, but we are lead to believe, that if the Columbia South ern builds and their present plans are carried out our city may be missed, but if the Harriman inter ests back the project, our city would be a station oft its line, as it should be. The later, is by far more probable as it is generally conceded that if the road is to be built the Harriman people will do it. Of course the question of the route depends upon which is the best paying. Mr. Mohler stated that the probable cost of a 100- mile extension would lie one million and a half of dollars, on which the interest would be $75,000 per an mi in and the cost of operating such a line would be in the neighbor hood of 200,000 per year. Such an investment would require a good deal of investigation on the part of the promoters but as stated before in this article, in the opin ion of the party, Central Oregon justifies, the move and in all proba bility the summer will see a com mencement of active work. Amerli.W men. Emil Reich, the Hungarian his torian, is likely to cause contro versy in America with his unex peeled views on the subject of Americans. He said in a recent lecture: "The American commonwealth differs from Europe in two most essential points. These two points are: The practical immunity of the States from any serious attack on the part of a powerful hostile army or navv, and the constant exposure of all the social and most of the economic and political in stitutions of the States to the in vasions, raids and warfares waged against the American male by that greatest surprise of the 19th cen tury, the American woman. "Whether America will or will not be able to regulate the inter natmnal problems of East and West, it seems probable that through her women the American people will further the great cause of humanity in a manner almost impossible to Europe."

It is estimated that 30,000 auot- mohiles will be placed on the market this year, and that will supply only half the demand. Evidences of democratic harm ony continue to multiply. Mr. Bryan has not thrown a rock at Mr. Cleveland for at least twenty four hours. The eminent Austrian physician who attributes consumption to the wearing of corsets fails to explain the prevalence of the disease among men. ' The American bicycle trust has failed, but a combination of dealers in American wheels in France has put the price of wheels which Bhould sell for $50 up to $90. A contemporary says the yacht Reliance has a "full blunt nose". We will ever forgive its ' being re trousse also, if she does not permit the Shamrock to put it out of joint. Within the past six months there have been incorporated in the United States 120 companies with an aggregate capital stock of $1,500,000,000. A Boston newspaper refers to the fact that many Americans are going abroad as a sign of prosperity, but the sign has already been discount ed by the European press. The British government derives an annual income of from $30,000 to $35,001 from money mailed in envelopes improperly addressed, and the proper destination ofl which cannot be found. Prosperity is having its effect on the number of young people who are afforded higher educational advantages. The proportion of University students is increasing at the rate of 5 per cent, per an num. Despite the reputed serious financial condition of China and the necessity of raising a heavy in demnity by increased taxation, the trade of the United States with that country has increased (!00 per cent since 1895.

The 12-vear-old son of an Irish man of Philidelphia was thought to be ill with smalljiox, hut after an examination the doctor assured the father that Jamesie had no symtoms of smallpox, but was suf fering from an attack of German measles. At that the old man grew very wroth and began to pour the vials of his wrath upon the head of Jamesie. "How often have Oi tould yez to kape away from thim Rooch children?" he deman ded. "See pwhat yez get for play in' wid thim. Xow, Oi 'spose yez'll be taken to the German hospital, an it'll serve yez roight, ye young bla'guard!" UealMe Wrk In WnalFru Orrgon.

The cry of the leper settlement is for a cure, and surely if there is' any possible chance of finding one no effort should be spared. If there is a place in the world to which charity should turn, it is the little plain of Molokai, where nearly a thousand victims of earth's most terrible disease are appealing to science and humanity for a medi cine that will heal their awful sores. The fact that since the dawn of history the ablest medical men have not been able to discover cure will not discourage am bitious men of the present. There are scores of well trained scien tific men in the, word who would be willing to give some of the best years of their lives to a study of leprosy with such unmatched op portunities as exist at Molokai. The board of health has already placed itsel in communication with the federal government, asking the Marine Hospital Service for a specialist, and has also written to private scientific institutions. It remains for the legislators to net, and they may bear in mind the findings of tho medical commis sion, and (eel assured that upon the intelligence with which they make laws for Kalaupapa and Kalawao, depends verjr largely the chances of keeping the federal gov ernment from assuming charge. Honolulu Star. Bend Hem.. ' From the Bnllelin Anil Kcho. : The C. I. Winuek Drug Co. ol Prineville, expects to erect a good substantial building in this city in the near future. The Bend school board is having dessinsion owing to a technicality. Directors Awbrey and.Cottor stand pat with Don Steffa the school clerk, while Director West is the opposit ion. The latter threatens to take the matter into the courts. A movement is on foot to obtain a change in the county road from Prineville to this place, as the road now contlicts with the P, li. D. Co's, right-of-way in several places. The change would not injure the road in any way. and while it is being made at this end the road could be greatly improved and con siderably shortened by a new sur vey around Powell Buttes. The Columbia Southern Irriga tion Company has about 30 men with teams at work on its Timu llo ditch. Theditch now carries water for a distance of five miles from the headgate, but it is yet two miles to the land which the company has segregated under the Carey art. By July it is expec ted to have water lor delivery at the first edge ol that tract. The contract with the slate has not yet lieen approved at Wash ington but it is regarded as only a matter of time when that approval will lie given. The smallpox scare in the interior country lias k-t the government agent who is to exam ine the land from coming in to make the inspection. That ssare having passed, he is looked for at any time. Some 27,000 acres are included hi that segregation.
