Stock Buyers Are Be'

Purchases.
i J. 0. Lnnertmn, the cattle buyer,

input, pays the Knst OiTgoninn.

on foot, which is n little lower
than he has paiil in some instances,
but is at this time the top price.
The market seems to be a little
lower limn it was n few days ago
ami will have no great rise, up
far as present indications show,
fur sometime to come. In the
estimation of the buyer the high
market will come in May, when it
limy ro to J J wilts, but not much
higher.
. The fanners have a lot of cattle

'""J. '
of them average better in condi
tion than was the ease at tin's time
lust year. The season hit been a
good one for the cattle men, and
the stock is in good condition.
The sugar beet factories of Cali
fornia nnd the southern part of
this state are beginning to get into
operation, and tlioy are feeding a
huge number of cattle, and this
has a tendency to lower the pricts,
for their feed costs them practical
ly nothing.
Molilalia also has a large num
ber of cattle which they will ship
in here us soon as the price begins
to r.ise, and this also tends to keep
the quotations down to a certain
extent. But in spite of the low
prices that prevail the stock men
report that they are making as
much as they did during all
last year, owing to the open
winter and the consequent small
amount of feeding necessary.

AUTO LINE TO PIUNKVILLE
State Engineer Hammond and G.
M. C'ornett Have Completed
Arrangements for a Line.
State Engineer A. E. Hammond
is authority for the statement that
arrangements have been complet
ed for putting into operation an
automobile line which will connect
Cross Keys, I'rineville and Bend
during the coming summer. G.
M. C'ornett, of the Prineville-Shan-iko
Stage company is also interest
ed in the move and plana have
been made to complete the private
roads which will be constructed
early this year. A surveying crew
will begin work next week to
locate the road which will bo used
provided the settlers along the line
will grunt right of way. Petrol
eum will be used, to pack the road
nnd lay the dust. Tho organizers
expect to carry passengers and
considerable express and freight
matter and will probably secure
the mail contracts if the time
between the points mentioned is
lowered from the present schedule.
The steam cars to he used lire

bile company nnd will scat l-l
passengers besides pulling a trailer
at a speed of 15 miles per hour. It
is believed that oOOO pounds can
be carried without difficulty in the
trail ears. It is the intention of
the promoters to connect Cross
Keys and the Lone Pine district
and from there run the cars to the
; Bend and Princvillc. Should the
'operation of the line between these
i iKiints prove successful, it is the
i intention to connect mfhv other of

RELIEF FOR
QLTUMRNTS
Curative Measure Is
Passed Recently in
the House.
To Representative Williamson
and several other western congress
men, are due the thanks of scores of
persons in this section and outsid
ers, too, who have had reason to
believe that their timber' claims
would be canceled because they
had made filings at one place 'snri
filial proof in another. It now ap
'ars that all the defects and
trouble caused by land office errorr
and the misconstruction of the law
w ill bo cured by an act which has
already passed the House. In a
letter to a friend in this city, Mr.
Williamson writes, under date of
Feb. 22, the following:
."I enclose you a copy of the bill
introduced by Mr. Marshall of Da
kota, curing the defects in the fin
al proofs of the people of our sec
tion of the country. We had quite
an organization behind this bill in
the House, and put it through a
numlier of days ago. No opposi
tion was devcloied, consequently
no speeches were needed. The bill
will undoubtedly pass the Senate
and become a law.'1
The Act in question is as follows:
. "Be it enacted by the Senate
and the House ol Representatives
of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, that whenever
it shall appear to the Commissioner
of the General Land Office that an
error has been made by the officers
of any local land ollice in receiv
ing any application, declaratory
statement, entry, or final proof u,ii-j
der the homestead or other land
laws, and that there was no fraud
practiced by the entryman, and
that there are no prior adverse
claimants to the land described in
the entry, and that no other reas
on why the title should vest in the
entrymun exists, except that said
application, de. laratory statement,
entry, or proof was not made with
in the land district in which the
lands applied tor are situated, as
provided by the Act of March
eleventh, nineteen hundred and
two, such entry or proof shall be
confirmed.
"That this. Act shall he in force
from and after its passage and ap
proval' LATER The above mentioned
act passed, the Senate early in the
week.
CONVENTION" IS CALLED
Republicans Will Meet April ti
Primaries Recommended to Be
Held March 2.
Three weeks from next Satur
day is the date recommended by
the Republican County Central
Committee for the holding of
primaries. The county conven
tion will be held in Prineville
April (i. The state recommended
April 9 for the latter, but the loc
al committee, which was in session
last Saturday, decided that the 9th
was too late a date as it might
cause too much of a scramble in
getting to the congressional con
vention which will he held on the
13th.
This year nine more delegates
will be in attendance than at the
1902 convention. Two years ago
there was one delegate at large
and one for each 18. votes cast in
the various precincts. . Next month
each delegate will represent every
15 rotes casfbesides one. delegste
at large. The apportionment
among the wecinct in 1902 made
a total delegation of 54, 'but this
year bf Will come to the conven
tion.
. No doubt is entertained of not
being able to fill all the nomina
tions. Nearly every day that
passes brings forth a new candi
date and some of the county ofl'.ti'
have seven or eight who are aspir
ing for the honors. The fight in
the convention is likely to center
around the nomination for sheriff
as that office apparently is the
prue plum of the lot. Nearly
every precinct in the county has a
man whose eyes are turned in that
direction and not a few of them
claim that their eyesight is not .
bothered with any cataracts.
CONNECT WITH THE DALLES
Arrangements About Completed
for Columbia Southern to
Reach Open fiiver Point.
Acc irding to reports ir. the city
it will not be long before Central
Oregon residents will begin to Icel
the benefits of direct connection
with an open river point on the
Columbia. Arrangements have
about been completed between the
0. R. & N. and the Columbia
Southern railroad allowing the
latter company to haul its trains
to The Dalles which will be made
a terminus instead of Biggs. In
this way a direct route will lie had
for Central Oregon traffic through
to Portland by the way of the
Columbia rivet, a fact that will
bring with it considerable reduc
tion in freight and passenger rates.
President Lytle has announced
that the change in terminal
stations will be made this spring.
The move is brought about by
the enterprise of the Columbia
Southern management and the
willingness of the 0. R. N.
people to quiet as much as HjssibIe
the demand in the interior part of
the state for a canal at Celilo falls.
While the move reiorted will have
this effect to some extent the press
ing needs of Central Oregon for an
oien river will continue to be felt
and pushed forward until the work
in question is completed.
