Th production of Canadian cheeae ao

In explaining thit anomalout situa

to the increase In tb New Zealand

Irg by O. R. at N.
Pendleton Rumor in local railroad
circle here predict the greatest rail
road undertaking that haa taken place
in inn tectlon of th tut for years,
of which th crew of turveyor which
re now working on th Stanfield
Coyote cutoff are tb vanguard. Tbia
underaking includes, among other ac
tlve change and improvement, tun
neling through the Blue mountain and
the elimination of aeveral bad grades
for th purpose of shortening the time
and distance between Chicago and
Portland.
Tbi tunnel, which of necessity
would b from three to five mile in
length, would accomplish much in the
saving of time and power. By pushing
up Butcher creek canyon and there en
tering tb mountainl, the wortt part
of th grade and many windings would
be eliminated, and on th east tide of
the mountain the famou Kamela hill
would be avoided and the diatance from
Huron to I -a Grand reduced to 12
mile.
Rumor also aay that conaiderable
work will be don on Tellocatset bill
between 4; n ion and Baker City. It ia
believed that aurveying camp will be
established it Duncan and Encina and
at other point within the next few
day a. If theaa improvement are ac
tually contemplated by the 0. R. & N.,
it ia evident that it I not the inton

passenger business down tha Snake

Heavy Prune Yild.
Roteburg That prune growing it a
highly profitable businesa in Douglas
county ia demonstrated by the crop of
C. H. Msupin, of Kollogs. From an
orchard of 900 tree he harvested 2,840
boxe of prunes this year, which when
cured, weighed 64,116 pounds net. He
estimates that at least 600 boxes more
went to waste on account of lack of
holp during picking season. The fruit
sold at 4 cents per pound, bringing a
total of $2,164. From this Mr. Mau
pin paid out $230 for help, leaving his
net income $1,934 from the nine acres
of orchard, or nearly $216 per acre,
The crop averaged 816 boxes per acre.
S. D. Evans, of Coles valley, reports
hit crop as averaging 248 boxei per

added, however, that at the British
battleship had been in commission for
eome time the missing plana had lost
much of their value. Tbe loss of the
sketches has resulted in the usual tug-
gettion that they have found their way
into me nanaa of the Germans.
