NORTH BANK
RAILROAD
Will Soon be Ready to Haul Oram
to The Dallea.
Seventeen depots have now been
erected along the Portland and
Seattle Railway, or north bank
line, and are ready for ose.
Already the tracklaying on the
new line into Portland has been
completed as far down as oppoite
Tbe Dalles, and in addition depots
have been erected at all the stop
ping points between rasco and
The Dalles. The buildings have
all been painted and will be ready
or occupancy as soon as the line
is openeil.
The following ia the list of sta
tions on the new line between Pas
co and the present end of the line:
Finlay, Hover, Yellepit, Tomar,
Pottinger, Colbia, Plymouth,
Gravel, Coolide, Patterson, Page,
Luzonm,Carley, McCredie, Moonax

It has already been announced
by tbe Northern Pacific officials
that grain hauling will commence
on the north bank line some time

Tha annual report of the North

the Columbia and Willamette
rivers will bo finished by June of
next year.
Dallas Itemizer: The vicinity
of Dallas is rapidly becoming the
fruit center of the Willamette val
ley. New orchards of every kind
and vareity of fruit are constantly
being set oat by persons who see
the profitableness oLsuch a venture.
It is a fact well known to all that
we haveihe best orchard land in
tbe state, and nearly all oar farm
ers are beginning to see tbe ad
vantages to accrue to them by the
cutting up of their large farms in
to smaller tracts.
Call at the Gaiett office and lean of
our clubbing offer with tbe Weekly Ore-tonlan.

HARVEST STILL
ON THE LAG
I'uusual Condition Frevalle With
morrow County Farmers.
Did the farmers grow too much
wheat ia Morrow county this
season?
November is almost here and
many farmers have not been able
to thresh their crops. A few have
not even headed their grain yet
mi- l j . i. .
j.ne Harvest is tne latest ever
known it this county. The im-
nense yields have brought unusual
conditions. Labor has been un
usually Bcarce Bnd with double tbe
usual amount of harvest work and
lack of machinery, the life of the
farmer is strenuous.
The Baving of the entire crop all
remains witn the weather con
ditions. A large amount of wheat is be
ing hauled to market.
Ihe unusual amount of harvest
work is greatly retarding fall
seeding.
METSCHAIN-.TIATLOCK.
Otto W. Metschan, son of ex
State Treasurer Phil Metschan,
and clerk at the Imepnal hotel,
and Miss Norah E. Matlock, of
Heppner, were married at 5:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon at
Trinity chapel. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. A. A. Mor
rison, D. D., of Tiinity Episcopal
church, in the presence of a small
party of intimate friends of the
contracting parties. Mr. snd Mrs.
Metscnan left last night for a short
visit to the Sound cities and on
their return will make their home
temporarily with the groom's broth
er, Dr. R L. Metschan, on the
East Side. Oregonian, October 17.
Miss Matlock is the daughtei of
T. J. Matlock, of Heppner and is
a handsome and charming young
lady with many friends. Mr.
Metschan is also well known in this
city. He was formerly! associated
with his brother, Phil Metschan,
Jr., in the Palace hotel.
Plans are being perfected where
by a practical effort will be made
within a short time to bore for oil
and gas where indications point
for such an attempt about Astoria
and on the west side, says the
Budget.
SHOWERS WILL
HELP RANGES
lmmago to turmerw and
Welcomed by Stockmen.
The rain storm of Tuesday was
a good one and the ground was
well saturated with much needed
moisture.
A pleasing feature is the fact
that when it got through it quit,
and yesterday morning dawned
bright and fair. Taking it all
around the weather clerk has been
partial to the farmers this fall to
allow them a long and dry season
to harvest their crops. This is
the first rain this fall since the
latter part of August and the
formers haye been making good
use of the favorable harvest
weather.
The rain only lasted one day and
the wheat crop not yet harvested
has not been damaged.
With the stockmen, it is just
what they wanted. RaDges were
very dry aud grass was getting
short owing to the long dry spell.
The moisture will start the grass
and will be of great benefit to the
stock industry.

O. R.
IM. to Complete Linee
January 1.
Constantly extending its lines
into new and rich sections of the
great Inland Empire, the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company
will add a large mileage to its
system by the first of the year.
Three separate extensions, the
longest of which is 71, miles, will
be practically completed within the
next two months.
Erickson & Petterson, contractors
who are building the Riparia-Lewis-ton
line for the O. R. & N., have
almost completed it. Only a little
work on the Lewiston end of tbe
road remains to be done, and Gen
eral Manager O'Brien says trains
will be running into Lewiston by
December. This extension has
been over a year in building.
When completed it will bring a
large and rich grain territory into
direct communication with Port
land. The Wallowa extension of the
0. R. & N. from Elgin northeast
up the Grand Ronde River to the
month of the Wallowa River, and
thence southeast to Joseph, a total
distance of 61 miles, is well along.
Track has been laid to tbe mouth
of the Wallowa and about 90 per
cent of the balance of the grading
has been completed. Tbe re
mainder of the work depends large
ly upon the weather during the
next few months. As the road now
under construction is well up in
the mountains, snow and rain will
delay the work great y. It may
be that during the winter months
construction crews will be laid off
for a time. At any rate, if this ex
tension is not completed by January
1, it should be in operation early
next year.
The Umatilla Central, an O. R.
tfc N. feeder from Pendleton to
Pilot Rook, a distance of 14.5 miles,
which is being built by the Pacific
Coast Construction Company, is
well along and is two-thirds com
pleted. It will be in operation
within a month.

Secretary Wilson Expresses Oyii
mlsMc View of I' lit II e.
Chicago, Oct. 28. A dispatch to
the Tribune from tVashington says:
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
said last night that the farmers
will get more money for their crops
this year than they got for those of
last year. The total value of all
farm products in 1906 was $6,794,
000,000. This enormous sum not
only will mean that there will be
no hard times for the country, bat
that the prosperity which bos
blessed it for a dozen years will
continue.
Secretary Wilson is unable to see
any danger in the financial eitna
tion, believing it is entirely con
fined to the speculative element ia
New York, and heisconSdent that
the next few weeks will show that
the farm and not Wall street ia
the real barometer of our financial
welfare.
Secretary Wilson's confidence
that the total wealth produced this
year from farm products will bo
greater than that of last year i
based partly upon the fact that
there is a scarcity of wheat and
other crops abroad and this boa
contributed to the increase of
prices. Crops at home will not be
as large probably as those of 1906,
except cotton. A9 Secretary Wil
son said, everybody knows tha
price of meat has gone up, white
the output of the packinghouse
products has increased.
