It' starts from Nam pa at 1:30 o'clock each Friday after noon, picks up consignments at On tario and other points, and connects with a through stock train on the O. W. R. &. N. from Huntington to Portland, leaving Huntington Saturday-morning. No stock will bo tak en by the local freights Fridays. The livestock special is a result of long effort to co-operate with the shippers and secure a train exclusively for .this section, which can be sent through from Huntington, after mak ing up its quota of cars, with a min imum number of stops for feed be tween loading and market Ontario Democrat. Recognizes Merits of Good Roads. The following editorial opinion from the Ontario Democrat very con cisely and pointedly presents the sit uation in regard to the proposed bond ing measure: - Good roads are essential and must come. If Oregon does not start now to get them she will later,, and tho present is always the best time to start right. If the road bonding act to be voted on June 4 Is proved to be effective without increasing taxes, it will pass probably; -Bad-roads folly is so universal and so ancient it will not be easy to get away from, and people shrink from- anything new, es pecially bonds. So the act in question will need a good, clear character if it is to be adopted. The newspapers are trying to get "the right dope" on it. Until that is done we are all in the same boat wo want more light before making up our minds. Feed Getting Scarce. The stockmen are getting very anx ious to see warmer weather come, as the hay is getting very low in most parts of the country, but in ouriim mediato neighborhood no one seems to be suffering as yet, but reports from other parts of the country have a different tale to tell. One rumor has it that some man in Harney Val ley has lost three thousand sheep al ready. The train crew tells of some ranch near Crane that is losing from thirty to fifty head every day. Here is hoping that the warm weather will soon come and we will have green grass -galore. Juntura Times. Will Improve Streets. Ontario council has ordered the grading and crowning of two main streets, one connecting with the road leading to the Snake river bridge. Bank For Crane Soon. Carlton B. Swift arrived from Port land Wednesday and is in the city negotiating for town lots and a build ing preparatory to establishing a state bank in Crane. Although not prepared to give out definite inform-' ation as to where the bank building will be located, and the date fixed for throwing open the doors to the pub lic, Mr. Swift gives the assurance that steps will be taken at once to consummate the establishment of a bank. Crane American. Sells 240 Acres. J, L. D. Morrison reports that he sold a 240-acre tract of Colonization land last week to Arthur Thompson, south of Harney. Crane American. The shoe-manufacturers who ex plain that ladles' shoes have increased in price because of the shorter skirts they are wearing, seem to overlook the fact that men's trousers are still the same length.
