RAILROAD RUMORS.
Talk of Extension of the

To Connect With 0. & S.

There seems to lie foundation fur
tho rumors Ihat a railroad is to be
constructed in tliw near future to
connect the t'oivallis & Kits turn
wit It uit eastern tiirruiiiul. Recent
ly the Oregon & Hnuthcrri has been
inforpornU'i! in New Jersey with a
million capital uml il ;s supposed
that tin- road will Iw run either
Iroiu V'iriinmircn, Nevada or Boise,
Idaho, to some point in Kawtcrn
Oregon there to connect with the
C. A B. If there is imy truth in
thin rumor it certainly in good news
lit thin country,
Jt in said Unit the C. P. Hunting
ton estate k heavily interested in
th i Corvnlli. Eastern Railway,
which in plainly in a condition ol
n rested development. TIib Hunt
hjitons recently got several millions
from the sale of the Hin Francisco
street-ear liww, and nmut liuve
much mr than in required in the
development of their trolley system
in (Southern California. Therefore,
it in supposed that H. K. Hunting
ton, who manages the estate, i
favorably k carrying out at th
time a long-cheiiisiied scheme i
hit lute uncle to build across Ore
gon to Winniniitic.cn, and thus
make something of the family'
present holding in this stale.
With all rail1 connection with
San Francisco and an electric road
from hero to The Dillc giving us
eheuper rates to Portland we would
certainly be in an enviable con
dition no far m transportation
facilities are concerned. With our
vast forests of pine and other
timber available we could become
noted for manufactures as well as
producers of raw material. It has
only been a short time siace an
inquiry was received by a leading
furniture manufacturer for 5000
doors from a St. Louis house.
What would it be if we could only
get our manufactured articles to
market?
There is also talk of a road ex
tending from Coos bay through
the southern part of the state to
fait Lake, Utah. While this road
would not directly benefit this
county we would eventually profit
hv it as there would ho but a little
distance to build from here to
connection with such a road.
. Roads of the nature of these latter
would be inestimably more valu
able to' this part of Oregon than
all the little midget lines on earth,
lty all means let the good work go
on and let ub get the benefit of the
capital invested in the way of re
duced assessment rates and enhanc
d value of real estate. "

In the last week's issue of your
taper I learn from a notice pub
lished over the signature of W. A.
Booth, that he has accepted the
ltJ i
IIOM11IIUUOII OO IOU UUIIJi.n.iani,
: : .1.. .1 ;..
ticket for the office of county judge,
wherein 'he says that certain par
tics have circulated the rejiort that
he would not uccept, ami that that
report is a mistake,
I would be pleased to ask Mr.
Booth it ho first gave out the im
pression that he would not accept?
Is he not the originator bimclf?
I have understood from several
very reliable citizens of Prineville
that Booth himself told them that
under no circumstances would he
accept the i.otuimttion for county
judge. This I can prove with but
little trouble.
,. The fact is, Booth wag strongly
opposed to the nomination of. Sam
Smith for sheriff, and before the
meeting of the democratic conven
tion, when the nomination of Smith
was assured, he approacned several
leading republicans, requesting
them to work for the strongest re
publican for the office of sheriff, in
orJer that Smith might be defeated.
After Smith's nomination Booth
declined the nomination for county
judge, and so informed the demo
cratic county certral committee.
These matters are easily proven.

While looking over the ticket at
the time of voting do not forget t
place a cross before "For County
High School, Yes" This is a
measure that all can support with
out any partisan feeling.

Editor Jochxal:
I take the pleasure of answering:
an article in the Review signed Cum
Tux. Being a resilient of the
Warmspring reservation a good
many years and not having had
the pleasure of meeting the gentle
man in his natural color, whicls
should have been red instead of
white. I fear that he has recently
sprung up among us, clothed in
sheep's clothing which I fear wilt
prove a misrepresenting the poor,
ignorant Indian of the Warm'
spring reservation for the coming
election in June. All the Indian?)
on the reservation, with the ex'
ception of a few that have voted,
are not bothering their heads about
the state or county officials. Next
fnn!a v Ann! 91 thp. "Indiana wilt
- -
have a talk with the .agent, Mr.
Kirk,, regarding voting. This
proves that Cum Tux is sadly mis
taken when he can m!lke it appear
what the feeling of the Indians in
general is regarding the coming
election. True the few that have
voted have been firm republican
voters influenced by one Indian oj
the reservation. I f( ar the voting of
the Indians will lie through, in- -fluence
for a few years longer, be
ing ignorant yet of the movement
of the political machine. As for
Mr. Robert Smith applying for
license for a ferry boat, was for
influence, not for his welfare, but
for the welfare of the most influen
tial one. As for Cum Tux's article
I say it is for a bait for some ior
sickcr to nibble at. '
" True some good man jsboHld be
elected as an official regardless of
his politics. Knowing this much,
that the Indians of the Warmspring
reservation cannot expect . help
from the state or connty officials,
without they support said officers.
In conclusion will say, look out
for the few Warmspring voters, w
telling what they will do should
they meet Cum Tux up at Kutcher
precinct. They might take- his scalp
for which, I am afraid the countv
would have to pay dear bounty.
I would like to see all my peoplif
take part in political matters, this
would show that titer are trying;
to take step towards civilization.
Yours very respectfully,
Petkh Kalaxa.
