A com plete contraet baa been prepared by the railroad commiaaion, which the railroad will hereafter bo required to uae, and which the commiaaion contends ia much more fair and reasonable than the one. now uaed. The commiaaion baa found that both tha railroad eompanies and the abip pera have been disposed to bs fair aad have given tba commission every a, aiaUnce. The principal features of the new contract are aa follows: 1 If tha shipment is over more than on lino, the contract will aerve aa a through bill of lading, it. provisions muni!.- iu uie Dvnem or ana oeinir binding upon all connecting carriers.

Andrews In the Wild Horse valley, north and south of Andrews, many forms are successfully irrigated by means of flowing wells. A. II, Ilollis, south of Andrews, baa six or seven o! them on hi. place, and there are many others having similar and lesser num bers. All tho .way south to Dnnlo through the Pueblo and Trout creek valleys, tncaa wells are found, and in a short time there will be a great many of them drilled and put to good use in a general irrigation system. Taking the character of the soil and the favorable climutie conditions, the poaaibilitie. for fruit and vegetable production under a generous water supply are beyond present calculation, Where a flow can be obtained at depth of 65 to 125 feet, the cost is nominal, and the water can be uaed at groat profit. Under such an impetus Harney county is lure to make rapid progress. FAMOUS SOAD SPOILED. Expend Highway Almost Rained by ExceealT. Traffic.

The county eourt ia in a quandary as lo bow to settle the difficulty, but has offered the district a rock-emsber and sufficient help to operate it so that the government road may be placed back in good condition.
