GIVES NOTICE
OF EXTENSION
Great Southern Proposes
to' Build Its Line Into
Crook County During
Present Year.
Tlie iriont promising news to le
given out in railroad tire leu for
several yearn relative to the laying
of the rails into ("rook county,
comes from Seattle in. mj an
nouncement that the Great South
ern, which at present in building
between The Dalle? and Dufur,
will be extendended at once into
Crook county, the objective point
being Bend. Teh-graphic dis
patcheH convey the following.
All mystery regarding the Great
Southern railway projected south
and north from The Dalles is
cleared away by John Herurich of
Portland, who is now in the city.
Thin is the road which gave to the
Washington Trust company a deed
to its right of way this week, in
consideration of the latter guar
anteeing its $5,000,000 Usue of
bonds.
According to Mr. Herurich, who
is president of the road, the Great
Southern plans the immediate con
struction of 42 miles of the road
southward. Grading for 30 miles
has already been completed, and
Mr. Ilemrich says steel for a great-1
er part of this distance is on the
ground. By July 1, he says, the
road will be operated for full SO
miles. j
This extension takes the road as
far as Dufur, the heart of a rich
agricultural district. He estimates
that after the line is in working
order it will cost $2 a ton to move
wheat out of the district and last
year there was a crop of I ;!00,000
bushels.
The new line runs out from The
Dalles west of the Deschutes river
Mr. Ilemrich says the objective,
point, Bend, has long been a town
that the Columbia Southern desir
ed to reach, but grades prevented
earlier building.
Owing to the topography of the
ground not until the Great South
ern has reached a point 75 miles
south of The Dalles will it become
a competitor of the Columbia
Southern. From that time until
the Great Southern crosses the
Deschutes river, 30 miles further
on, the two lines will fight for
business, after which the Great
Southern will come again into its
own territory, -
Neither Mr. Ilemrich nor thej
local capitalists interested with
him have any fear of a building
war on the part of the Columbia
Southern. The Oregon Railroad
& Navigation company, to which
it has applied, has refused to help
it, and it has remained at Shaniko
where it will probably stay for
years to come.
Just when the line will be ex
tended to Bend, 115 miles distant
from The Dalles, Mr. Hen rich is
unable to say but states that it
will be constructed with as little
delay as possible.
"While our route lies north
from The Dalles into the state of
Washington," said Mr. Ilemrich
yesterday, "we have not consider
ed the matter of building in this
State. We can get a good crossing
at The Dalles if we want it, but
that is a matter that will be taken
up at another time. We are going
to operate 30 miles of the track in
time for this year's crop, south of
The Dalles. Then we will extend
15 miles further to a point near
Kingsley, and that is as far as we
can talk of our plans at the present
time, other than in the general
statement that the road Will be
hurried through to Bend."
NEW LAWS BECOME
EFFECTIVE MAY 18
Twenty-five criminal laws pass
ed by the last legislature, will -be
come effective May 18. Some of
these are merely modifications of
exifting laws whib. other define
new crimes and provide for their
punishment. Some relate only t
such offenses as the v.olation of
game laws, acts which involve no
great moral wrong, while others
are designed to prevent acts which
are greatly injurious to public
morals or which endanger pro
perty. A wife-beating law was enacted
in the form of an amendment to
the law for the punishment of as
sault and battery. The amend
ment provides that any person
who shall be convicted of assault
and battery upon - his wife, shall,
in the discretion of the court, be
sentenced to be whipjed not ex
ceeding twenty lashes, the punish
ment to be inflicted by the sheriff
constable or marshal. I
A new forest fire law establish-!
es a closed season from June 1, to
October 1, during which lime it is
made unlawful to set fire to slash
ings or fallen timber, or on timber
land, or in the vicinity of grain-
fields, without first securing a per
mit from the county clerk. No
fee is required for a permit which
must le granted on request, the
purpose being to restrict the set
ting of fires and keep a record of
those starting fires. Violation of
the law is punishable by a fine of
1 1000 to $10,000 or imprisonment
from one month to one 3ear, and
half the fine goes to the informant.
The hunters' license law will go
nto effect May 18, after which
time it will be unlawful for any
person to hunt on grounds not his.
own unless he has secured a
license and paid a fee of $1. Vio
lation of the.law is punishable by
fine of $25 to $100 or imprison
ment five to thirty days.
"Jumping board bills" will be
punishable by fine of $20 to $1000,
or imprisonment ten to fifty days,
after May 18. The law on the
subject declares that it shall be
presumptive evidence of intent to
defraud if any person shall fail to
pay his bill on demand, unless he
has made known in advance his
inability to pay.
SCHOOL LAND
DEEDS HELD UP
In reply to questiops submitted
to Governor Chamberlain, Attorney
General Crawford this morning
rendered an opinion Holding in
substance that the State Land
Board had authoiity to cancel all
deeds and certificates to school
lands wherein fraud appears on
record, but that it is not wiihin
the power of the board to take
arbitrary action in the matter. . In
other words, fraud must be alleged
and proven before the board has
authority to cancel certificates of
sale, says a dispatch from Salem.
In accordance with this opinion
the State Land Board this morn
ing adopted an order holding up
all questionable applications and
certificates, without regard to time
until the state grand jury can have
completed its investigation. In
all cases where fraud is charged
upon applications for the purchase
of school land, the board will take
the matter under advisement and
give the holders of certificates a
chance for hearing before final
action is taken.
The Attorney-General,s opinion,
in which he suggests that whether
or not t.e board has power to ar
bitrarily cancel certificates it would
not be wise to exercise the same,
raises a point of dispute as to what
policy the 'board should adopt in
the matter, with the result that a
division oecured in the adoption of
a motion to that effect. The que
stion submitted to the Attorney
General is based upon the records
of the Land Office pointed out by
the State Land Agent and points
out that a large number of, appli
cations for tho purchase of school
lands filed November and Decem
ber, 1900 bore evidence of fraud, in
that signatures were fictitious or
fraudulent.
WILL ERECT A
. FINE BUIDING
Two Story Brick Hotel
Will Be Built on the
Present Site of the
Prineville.
A new two-ntory brick hotel
building, to cost in the neighbor
hood of $15,000, will be erected
this summer on the present site of
tht Prineville hotel. The deeds
tranrferring the property on which
the present building stands from
B. F. Allen to Mrs. C. E. McDowell
were, signed this week and specifi
cations for the new building will
be here soon from the architects
in Portland who are working on
them at present. As soon as re
ceived and accepted arrangements
will be completed for the immedi-
ate construction of the new building.
The latter will occupy the site
of the old building , and the two
lots north of it, necessitating the
moving of the Review office.
Inside of the next two months
the old building will be moved
back a distance of 125 feet where
Mrs. McDowell will continue her
hotel service until the new brick
structure is completed and ready
for occupancy which will be pro
bably not later than the first of
September.
MOVE MADE TO
GUARD RANGE
Not by violence, but by "every
legal meane," is the Grant County
Range Protective. association liv
ing up to its motto, "Grant Coun
ty Grass for Grant County Stock."
At the last regular session, held in
Hamilton the last of March, satis
factory progress in the campaign
against outside sheep wa3 shown
to have been made. The most
important step so far taken was
that of closing all private roads
to the undesirable class of stock,
and seeking regulations for more
carefully guarding the public high
ways. For the accomplishment of
the latter, a resolution was adopt
ed asking the county court to use
its authority as far as it legally
may, in the restriction of the
number of sheep allowed at any
one time on the Monument bridge
across the North Fork. This is
the only means of ingress into the
county along the line of the river,
and by regulating the passage here
it is hoped to make the crossing a
more serious matter to outside
owners, as well as guard more
carefully the structure itself.
It is evident that this regula
tion, provided any such as possible,
will exercise a hindering influence
upon the very unwelcome visitors.
But if the full plans of the associa
tion carry, there will be other dif
ficulties for the wandering herds
men. Private owners along the
enforced line of march may not al
low the herds to graze on their
ranges and in their pastures. And
lastly, it is expected that road
supervisors will use more energy
in enforcing the law regarding the
reparation of damaged road?.
Everyone of these means are not
only legal, but in harmony with
the best interests of local con
ditions in the country through
which the sheep are driven.
But the above remedies are to be
exercised only after the sheep are
tairly into the county. The pro
cess of getting in is no light one,
and already Umatilla and Mor
row county sheepmen are com
plaining loudly of the delay and
expense of crossing the boundary
lines under the new law taxing
outside sheep. Reinforced by
this measure, the entrance of out
side sheep will be scrapped to a
finish, and when once within the
home territory, their passage
through the county will be beset
by determined but lawful opposi
tion. John Day News.
HEAVY SALES OF
EASTERN OREGON SHEEP
The first exact figures on Oregon
sheep sales made this spring, up
to April 6 have been compiled by
James llackett, the well known,
sheepman of this city, says the
East Oregonian. The following
sales have been made and the
sheep will be delivered at once.
The entire number given in this
statement will be shipped out from
the territory tributary to the
Columbia Southern & Ileppner
branch railroads. The prices are
not given except in a few instances.
Following are the shipments to
be made;
Bicknell and Oxmon, of Chi
cago.- ..60,000
Hailey and Saunders, of Salt
Lake.. 35,000
Tim Kinney Rock Springs,
Wyoming 40,000
Rea Brothers, Forsyth e,
Mont... ;.. 25,000
J. B. Long, Great FalU Mont 20,000
C. A. Buckley, Ileppner . i . .10,000
OttoKohler, Heppner 10,000
Wallace, Fargher, Heppner 5,800
O. E. Farnsworth, Heppner 7,000
Total 212,800
In adition to the above to be
shippee out from the Ileppner
branch and Columbia Southern,
Bicknell and Oxman have con
tracted 12,000 in Wallowa - valley,
which will be shipped from Elgin
making a grand total of .224,800
known to have been contracted in
Oregon to above date.
WOOL CLIP WILL
BE ENORMOUS
Probably 20,000,000 pounds of
wool will be taken from Oregon
sheep this spring, and, ai the hund- .
reds of ranches over the state pre-
parations are being made to start
the machinery for making this im
mense clip. The yield will, it is
said, be a few million pounds
larger than that of last year.
At some of the ranches clipping
has already begun. The sheep are
in fine condition, and many of the
owners of flocks believe they will
not have to be dipped this spring
for scab or mange. The federal
bureau of animal industry will
make a careful survey of the situ
ation, .and will enforce the law
rigidly in every case where disease
symptoms show in flocks that are
to be sold or shipped out of the
stateor feeding or marketing.
It is expected that bureau will "
enforce the law of dipping much
more generally than was done last
year, when this requirement was
waived at the x e q u e s t of
growers and shippers, excepting in
a few aggravated cases of infected
herds. This year the sheep ranch
men are prepared to acquisce in
the general enforcement of the
law, as they recognize the necess
ity of stamping out scab and
mange on Oregon sheep ranges.
It is estimated that fully 500,000
Oregon sheep will be sent over the
state line this season, and practic
ally all of these will have to be
dipped at once. In case of pro
nounced infection in a flock every
sheep will have to be dipped twice
with an interval of 10 days be
tween dippings.
The government bureau has
made a rule that all unexposted
sheep must be dipped once before k
they are driven into any shipping
corral or put aboard cars. The
dipping must take place within
12 miles of the shipping point, and
nearer if there are intervening
flocks or trails where the sheep
may be exposed to scab or mange
enroute to the place of shipment.
Experts from the bureau must
visit each flock and oversee the
1 dipping. Journal.
