Dirt is flying in good sha; along the route, and the object is to complete the nnninb'r of the grading bslorc these extreme rocky points are attacked. The object is, if possible, to have the road complete to Dufur by riepttiner loth, and the contractors are straining every nerve to accomplish this. After the grad ing is finished our informant savs it will only take .'10 days to lay the tics and rails and have the road ready for the rolling stock. A large force of men are now employ ed; but it may be that it will la- later than the date mentioned Sep. 15th, before the road is ready for locomotives and cars. At any rate, if men and means can accomplish the task it will be done by that time. The route to The Dalles will lie along the hill, near tho wagon road, and m difficulties will be encountered. This will nut May the completion, as this part of the road can he built in a little while. But whenever the Great Southern Railway ruii9 its trains to Dufur and further into the interior, its terminus will be The Dalles, the Gateway of the Inland Kmpire, and the head of navigation on the Columbia river. LOOK FOR ADVANCE IN PRICE OF WOOL Sheepmen Believe That the Clips Next Year Bring 25 Cents. Indications point toward a material increase in the price of wool next year over that of thin season, anil the sheep growers in the county are firm in their opinion that !i5 cents per pound: will he paid in Shaniko t the sales next summer. These views are based upon current conditions which have raised the price this year and it is stated that had the sheepmen this year known the true state of the foreign markets sooner they could have squeezed still better prices than they did. The advance in the purchase price of clips this year was caused by the increased exportation which has left the eastern markets denuded of their supply. Last year thousands of sheep in the great wool piodueing country of Australia were lost, a fact which greatly decreased the supply from that country. The supply was also short in many other of the foreign countries and the result was a drain upon the American product which has not y"t lui'n over come. This year's supply to a great extent will lie shipped asross the waters and it is confidently believed that condi-' There was large attendance at j 'ions at home will lie more the meeting of the Antelope Wool-'stringent next season than they Growers Asssociation on last Tubs- j have this past year.

It is stated, in addition, that the demand for puor stock cannot bo met. It is believed that when transportation is furnished to points east of Baker City where there are large bodiea of pine, and when the Sumpter Valley railway is extended south of Whitney into other bodies of pine, the construct ion work being now under way, the lumbering business in this section of the state will take some thing in the nature of a boom. POOL IS OKFKHED 20t;0 Members of Albany Timber Pool Refuse the Price Named and Hold for :i(J0'l. The members of the Albany timber pool which consists of about 2"i0 claimants who entered an agreement last fall to hold their claims together until Jan, 1, 1H05 for n price of $;;000 each, have been offered $2000 cr quarter section for their pine. This offer has been refused. A vote, however, was taken on the matter and a necessary two thirds vote of those in the pool failed to lie secured. This pool includes a compact group of yellow pine claim lying in northern Lake and Klamath counties and southern Crook coun ty which were located two years ago by Dorgan & Dcvine of Albany. The tract includes the best of the timber in that section of the state and it is believed that the price agreed upon can. be secured. At present negotiations are still pend ing between members of the pool and the timber buyers, the latter endeavoring to pick up as niauv cinitv for $1000 each.

ONE DOOR NORTH TEMPLETON'S or injuring any We are reliably informed that a preliminary survey has been made for the Great Southern Railway from the point where grading began to a terminus in this city, and that the right of way has been secured from nerly all the property owners along the roul says the Dalles Chronicle. The distance to Dufur by this road will be about 28 miles, and nearly half of this has lieen graded ready for the ties and rails. Thero is a much more difficult region to make the road through than that on which work has been done; but those obstacles will be over come A committee which consisted of II. C. Rooper, J. D.

T. E, Wilson, was seriously injured last Tuesday in an accident which happened at the Dayis saw mill near Sisters. Several teeth from a breaking saw flew in bis face tear ing out one of the eyes anil inflict ing deep flesh wounds in his cheeks. The accident occured while the mill was running at full speed. A new top saw had just been put in to place and several logs had been sawed when some of the screws became loosened, letting, the teeth of the top saw drop into the meshes of the lower saw. In an instant's time the smaller wheel of steel was broken into a hundred pieces which were driven into the sides of the building an inch deep. Wilson was standing close to the gearing when the wheel burst and several of the pieces of steel were driven into his face inflicting pain ful injuries. Assistance was sent for immedi ately and Dr. Hyde went out to care for the injured man. Mr. Wilson has been working in the mill since it started this spring when he went to Sisters from the Valley where he had been spend ing the winter. 1 I Of The Dalles, Oregon. i I i With the Finest Photographic Studio ever put on the road r " I j Will be in Prineville 9 I ' TWELVE D71YS ONLY n- T H It 1 FRED H.
