IMMENSE LAND DEAL
The ownership of almost one one-hun
dredth of the area of the state of Oregon
changed hands last week. After extended
negotiations the greater portion of the
land included in the Oregon Central Mili
tary road grant was t'ansfered from the
California and Oregon land companies, oj
which the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co. is a
large owner, to a syndicate composed of
eastern and California capitalists. Approx
imately 500.000 acres are included in the
sale and the consideration involved about
$750,000.

The man who wrestles with the cow
and learns the calves to suck, who casts
the corn before the swir.e is now in
greatest luck, for butter's on the upper
grade, veal's higher than a kite, pork is
climbing up the scale, and beef is out of
sight, the eggs he gathers every day from
his chicken coop are almost worth their
weight in gold, and we are in the soup.
His corn brings a fancy price, it's rising
every day. and he makes .all kinds of
money for half a ton of hay. The farmer
is in the saddle, and when he comes to
town the rest of us by right should "go
way back and sit down." Ex.

Many wno are accustomed to tne ex
citement of seeing the arrival and de
parture of tne east bound tram were
greatly disappointed this morning. From
force of habit they had learned to expect
the train about one hourlate, but ther
must have been an accident of some sort
for trie train was on time.
Farmers who visited the city today as
a rule, were rushing their trading to get
back. The cloudy weather the past few
days caused them more or less uneasiness
as only about one third of the threshing is
completed. The yields are proving very
satisfactory. So far very few have sold
from the fact that they are not yet -eady
to deliver.

V(ENTRAL RAILWAY
The steel for the Central Railway is
beginning to arrive and fifteen miles of
the stuff is here or on the way and al-
otigh Tol"3eTayl!aT-is ' welcome by all
parties concerned. Our1 business men
and shippers can readily understand that
it has been exceedinly difficult to get
freight through on any of the roads and
that the steel for the ne v road has been
delayed an unusual time.
The grade is now competed from Union
to Cove and most of the way to Hot
Lake. It is the intention of the company
to build to La Grande, and up Catherine
creek, and to Medical Springs. A wrong
impression has prevailed more especially
at Union, that the company will build
only from Union to Cove. Such is not
the case as the plans of the company in
volve a road to La Grande well as to
Cove.
When the road is built through the
timber belt to the mines near Medical
Springs, Union's harvest time will appear.
The plans of the company are satisfactory
ty all and their spaedy consum mation is
earnestly desired.r-Union Scout.
