As a result of tho unfortunnte disagreement botween tho city nnd the railroad, it h said that the Condon hranch will join the main line at Rlalock, nnd Arlington wil be left off tho railroad .nap by not becoming a junction point Thin lu it iti under coiiHi.leration, hut it u not yet known whether Arlington will ho given ii nnd lllnl.M'k mn.hi the junction, "1'nreai.onahle inonetury do liiatuls on the part of the city of Arlington," Haid Manager K.

The roll plant now in commis (ion ha a capacity of .'It) o It) tons, with the Huntington mill working auxiliary to it. About "0 ton was the best the management cjuld do with the roll alone. Tnlcou material, which carries value that cannot be wated, al ternating with a very hard quartz, taxed the plant severely in the previous test, Ry not crowding the roll, it i I lieved that good work can he done, and a crew proportionate to this work ha been put nt work. A very small force of miner will be required underground, n the ore body i so large that it breaks down in im mense quantities. The Suinptcr smeller, which i an eaijer bidder for nil ore of the diftriet, will nf ford the Dixie mamigement a bet ter market for concent rati than was had before.

Address 4:00 Dismission WILL EXTEND TO EASTERN OREGON Oregon Water Power Corn pany to Build a Line Across the Cascades. That the Oregon Water Power A Railway Company will extend it Kstacttda line on tip the Clacka mas River, neros the Cascade and into Kastcrn Oregon next year i probable, though the man agement of the company denies that definite plans have yet been made. It is positively announced that the road will be extended next year. Rumor in circulation to the effect that the company is plan ning to run a line up the Sautiaiii River by way of the old military road route, crossing the Cascade near the Three Sister and going on to Prineville, have been denied by the management when i;n effort was made to veiify them, h had been reMrted In Portland that a surveying crew had been seen be low the toll guto on the eastern slope of the mountains surveying a line for the Oregon Water Power A' Railway Company. K. S. Morris, one of tho nitinng er of the company, wa asked if there wa any truth in the state ment that a party wa trying to make it route through the Cas cades, and he replied that his company wa not doing anything of tho kind nt present, but he believed that lumbering companies had surveyor in the field. "Wo do not deny, however, re plied Mr. Morris, "that we will ex tend our lines in the near future. We have laid heavy rail on our Kstacada line with the intention of caring for heavy traffic on it when we could extend our line, which we intend doing next Sum mer. "Mountain rangers and others have come to us with the infor mation that a good pas can be found across the mountains by following up the Clackamas Riv er, and I w ill not say that we nuiv extend our line along that route next Summer. 1 lie situation at present is simply this: We will do nothing this Winter, but next Sunimar we ill send men out to locate ex tensions to our road. We shall surely extend the road, but whether it will be across the Cits titles or not I am not now pre pared to say. "Our object in making extension is to develop Portland. Several lave called on us with the propo- ition of our allowing them termi nal privileges. Thev wanted to extend lines in competition with those now running out of the city, but we do not favor such s thing. t is not for competition that we are working; it i for the devcloj ment of a new country that will aid Portland in building up." Mr. Morris also stated that luin- herinen are nnxious to get a rone out to the Cascades in the vicinity of the South Fork of the Santtam liver, that the logs could be rought out. He did not give his opinion regarding what might he accomplished by them. Telegram ALLEN & LAFOLLET HAVE SOLD OUT Allen it Lafollett sold practical ly nil of their holdings of stock last week to a sheep firm of Big Tim ber, Montana. The disposition of the stock marks the retirement from nctivo participation in the sheep business of one of the oldest and largest firms of sheep raisers in Crook county. The sale, which was consumated through tho Montana company's agent, James Vestel, who came to the city tho last of the week to take charge of the herds, includes t000 head of sheep. Out of this number 250 head are registered llambouillet and Delaine rams .tnd 100 head of grade rams, the company reserving 1200 head of bucks of which local diiosition wilt be made. The sheep we re taken from the Lafoll. it and Alien ranches on tho Ochoco the fmt of the week and driven over 'and to Bhaniko where they will it shipped from that siint to the Montana com pany's ranches near 15ig Timlx-r. The sale is one of the largest which has been made in this county in a number of years and it is under stood that Allen A Lafollett re ceived top notch prices for their stock, nearly all of which is blood ed. The local company still retains it holdings of land and it is probable that these will not I' sold as the range ami hay lands owned by the firai are among the best in the county. Over HOOO acres of deeded lands lying along the Ochoco ard McKay and 1000 acres at Powell liuttes are held hy the company besides an area of about 7(XX) more acres of range land which have been leased and rented for grazing purjioseB. A portion of this land will now I rented out and leased to other stockmen iu the vicinity who will use it for rangiug their stock, but the hay lands will be held for their products. Mr. Lafollett s undecided us yet what line of business he will pursue, but it is probuble that he will engage in buying and selling of real etate, continuing to make Crook county and Prineville his lOllie. The firm of Allen A Lafollett ha Ifcen engaged in the sheep business in this vicinity for severs! years and is one of the lcst known on the Pacific coast. 200 SHEEP SLAUGHTERED Over 200 head of sheep belong ing to U. S. Cowles, of Hay Creek, were shot and killed on their ranging territory during the early part of last week. The slaughter occurred on Mill Creek, but owing to the secrecy by which the act was committed the loss of the sheep w as not noticed until the herder had taken his band back to the owner's ranch. Tho entire band numbered 4000 and had been in charge of the herder for several months during the summer on the range territory which has been used for several seasons ivy tne stocK irom tlie Cowles ranch. About ten or twelve days ago the herder start ed his bunch back to winter head quarters and the loss of over 200 head was noted when the counting was completed. Mr. Cowles at once began an in vestigation nnd going back to the territory whence his sheep had come found the bodies of the dead animals lying in a narrow ravine where it was evident they had been driven before the killing took place. Mr. Cowles told of his discovery upon his return to his ranch near Hay Creek, the news reaching this city early this week. There are no clews to the perpetrators of the crime. The range troubles, which have been smoldering during the entire summer, were, of course, the cause of tho shooting, but the Cowles sheep, it is stated, were grazing on their own territory and had not encroached upon the district claimed by the cattle interests. The owner of the band is ,yX a loss to account for the destruction of his stock unless, like a subsequent crime occurring earlier in the sum mer, it comes as a warning that next reason he must confine his sheep to other districts or else be content with even smaller ranging area than his sheep are using at present. Uoth the slaughter of last week: and the one occurring over two months ago when 1000 head of sheep were killed have taken place in the Blue Mountain district when the bands, it is stated, were on their own territory. It is evident that next year the troubles there will be more serious than this unless matters are satisfactori ly adjusted before another ranging season opens.
