Coroner Kinlcy, of Portland, is
one of the officers of the new
coiripauy, and although very reti
cent alsmt the affairs of the cor
poration he denied that it was in
liny way connected with any of
the companies already openting
roads in Oregon or abutting terri
tory. It is an independent cor
poration, hacked up by business
men of Portland and other Coast
towns and by a small body of
Eastern capitalists.
According to the present plans
of the compnny, it will take about
a year to build the road, because
the corporation's officers do not
intend to Ojsm it for traffic until
next year, just in time to handle
the grain shipments. Telegram.
ARRESTED ON
FORGERY CHARGE
SETTLERS LOCATING LAND.
District Northeast of Silver Lake
Near Crook County Line Is
lleing Taken Fast.
From all reports the Fossil lake
country which is situated about
;!5 miles northeast. of this place, is
on the eve of a big boom, uTid that
not far away. Fifteen homestead
ers from the north were on the
ground last week looking over the
land, and it is reported that they
all located claims. A large crowd
of home-seekers from the northern
part of the state arc expected to,
arrive at that place this week to
select for themselves future homes,
says the Silver Lake Oregonian.
Kmil Egli, who has cattle in that
section came in . town Saturday.
He informed us that quite un
excitement is licing manifested
over the land as it is considerably
more valuable than the settlers
exiH'Cted to lind, and one of the
party informed Mr. Egli that
people would continue to flock in
this section of the country through
out the summer after homesteads
as long as such valuable land re
mains unsettled. .
Ira Connett Breaks Jail at
Sodaville and Is Caught
at Logan Ranch.
Ira Connett, a young man want
ed in Linn county to answer the
charge of forgery, and who broke
jail at Sodaville, and escafied to
Eastern Oregon, was arrested by
Sheriff Smith last Saturday at the
Logan ranch on Camp creek,
where he had secured work. Tha(
morning he was turnedo over to
Sheriff Worth Huston, who came
here from Albany to get the
prisoner. At Antelope that night
the young man again eluded the
officer of the law and at present
his whereabouts are unknown.
Young Connett was informed
against by District Attorney J. N.
Hart, ol Linn county, a weeR ago
last Monday, but owing to the fact
that he was under arrest at Soda
ville the matter was not made
public at that time.

Eastern Oregon and Sheriff Smith
was so informed by wire last week.
He went to the Logan ranch, ar
rested the young man and brought
liiui to tuwn where he was turned
over to Sheriff Huston Saturdiiv
morning. At Antelope he jumped
from the stage as U was pulling
into towc and made good his
escape.
Connett was accused of having
forged a cheek for $12, the name
forged lieing that o his brother-in-law.
He spent the money in
Sodaville, and when the forgery
was discovered he was arrested
and placed in the town jail there
to await preliminary hearing be
fore the justice of the peace. On
the morning of the date fixed for
the preliminary trial the jailer
found the cell empty and the bird
flown. All efforts to locate the
young man were fruitless Connett
having succeeded in making his
way to this county where he
secured work with Mr. Logan.
Hooper, J. D. MuAndie and Joseph

speaking in regard to the matter
says :
The summer range problem has
been one of the most serious with
which sheepmen have had to deal
for several years, and some pence
able settlement would be welcomed
by them. Sheep have been shot
down, supply camps have been
burned and in one or two instances
even human life has been sacrific
ed in this fight over range. 80 far,
the sheepmen have been the suffer
ers and no retaliation has been
attempted. Should a policy of re
taliation be adopted it would mean
the extermination of the stock in
dustry of eastern Oregon, and bit
ter warfare between the sheepmen
and cattlemen to the end. It is to
avoid such a conflict that the stock
associations are advocating the
making of lines. Concessionc will

A new: railroad costing about
$2,fKK,0(H) to construct, and tapping
the rich" agricultural districts of
(.iillam and Wheeler counties,
bringing the interior of those
counties in touch with 1111 opening
to Portland and the Pacific, will in
a short time be built running from
Arlington about 00 miles in a
general easterly and westerly
direction. The name of the road
is the Arlington & Pacific Coast
Railroad, and according to a
promise made by its incorporators
it will be in operation in time to
handle next year's grain crop.

is better known as the Low desert,
is considered to be the most valu
able tract of laud on the great Ore
gon desert. Although this body
of land is situated a long ways
from any running stream it would
be no bard undertaking to bring
water on the land for ' irrigation
purposes from streams that are
tributary to Silver lake or from
the head waters of the Deschutes
river. The canal would undoubt
edly cost a large sum of money
but by the productive farming
country the water would bring for
the state, the cost would be com
paratively nothing.
Water for ranch use can be had
on this land by a few feet of dig
ging as ryegrass is frequently
found to I from three to four feet
high, and where this grass is found
there are usually damp, places, or
wet weather springs that remain

a speedy trial, but his second
escaiK' makes it doubtful whether
he is again captured soon. Sheriff
Huston's term of office expired
Monday nnd if the young man is
'.gain arrested by a Linn county
;)flcial it must be by some other
than the one who first took him in
charge. It is probable that the
escaped prisoner will make his
way the railroad and leave the
state where lie has twice evaded
the officials.
STOCKMEN TO MEET AGAIN
Antelope Sheep Owners and Crook
Cattlemen Will Make Effort
to Adjust Range Difficulties.
At a meeting held last week by
the Antelope sheepmen a com
mitte was appointed for the second
time this summer to meet with the
cattlemen of this county and
endeavor to adjust the range dilii

ARE OPPOSED TOTHE OR.DER
Cattlemen Object to Being Com
pelled to Dip Stock Which Is
Intended (or Shipment East. '
By an order promulgated in
March by the Secretary of Agri
culture, it is required that all cat
tle west of the Mississippi River
intended for shipment should be
"dipped" in a prejieration prescrib
ed by the Department for the
purpose of absoletely exterminat
ing the skin disease known as the
mange, which has existed to a lim
ited extent for many years in the
section. This order, if rigidly en
forced, would require that all beef
cattle, whether affecte'd by the
mange or not, should be dipped
twice before shipment. As it has
been found impossible to make
neceFSjry preperations and round
up and dip the cattle within the
limited -time . allowed, numerous
petitions have reached, the Depart
ment, praying for a relaxation of
the order. A few days ago a dele
gation apieared before the Secre
tary of Agriculture and later call
ed on the President, requesting
that the order be so modified as to
obviate the dipping of beef catlle
before shipment and in lieu there
of to institute rigid Government
inspection at the point of ship
ment before the cattle are loaded
on the cars.
The subject, which is regarded
as of first improtance, was given
careful consideration by the
President and Secretary Wilson
who have not as yet made a
decision in the matter.
