OFFICIAL PAPER OF CROOK COUNTY.
THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1905.
It is a well known principle of only in line with more of the tan
Uw that there are always two sides corous statements which the Port-
to every question. Yesterday a
number of prominent business
men, while discussing the article
published in the Morning Demo
crat, reprinted from the East Ore
gonian of Pendleton, united in the
opinion that the statements made
that government inspectors were
investigating the acquirement of
timber land titles in Grant county,
might be true but the government
probably would find that all
honesty of purpose was used in the
transaction in the development of
that country as had been employ
ed in the building up of hundreds
of other sections of the United
States where otherwise would have
been barren waste without profit
to anyone.
What would Baker City be to
day, had not its timber belts been
developed by the Baker sawmill
companies?
What made it possible to build
the Sumpter Valley Railway,
which was the making of Baker
City, when there was scarcely one
pound of ore in sight in the upper
camps?
How can any single individual
with only 160 acres of timber land
market lumber?
Admit that fraud was practiced,
in acquiring these lands by comp
any under the technicalities of the
present Statutes, was it not the
best that ever happened for the
general public of eastern Oregon?
Had not these timber lands
been taken up and purchaseed by
one institution, this country
would still be in the condition it
land papers have swung to the
public Uuring the past few months
in their own efforts to convict the
defendants before their trials. It
is to be hoped the papers mention
ed will at least be barred from
giving testimony when the trial
jurors finally sit upon the cases.
Additional Locals
D. Koopman was down from his
ranch at Crook Tuesday.
W. C. Congleton was in the city
the -first of the week from his stock
ranch at Paulina.
Rev. C. P. Bailey left this
week for his home in Portland and
in consequence will not be here to
fill his -appointment to preach
next Sunday as he intended.
H. R. Lamb came over from
Bend this week and will soon
move his family here to. reside.
Mr. Lamb is the owner of a fine
Hamiltonian trotting stallion
which he brought over with him.
A dance will be given in the
Athletic hall Saturday evening,
May 6 by the members of the ball
team. Circuit Court will be in
session at the time and with the
crowd coming over from Bend to
attend the game Suuday it is "ex
pected that an unusually large
crowd will be in attendance.
A big poster, the handiwork of
A. B. Roller, announcing the ad
vent of "The Country Kid" into
the dramatic field, adorns the bill
board opposite the nostoffice. No
was 50 years ago the abode of In- date has yet been set, but the play
dians.
One man pertinently asked
"Where did President Roosevelt
get his big Dakota ranches and
how were the titles obtained?
JNo one man can take up more
than 160 acres and what can he
do with it unless he sells it at
small profit to some one who has
the means to combine it with
other tracts and develop the
lumber.
W hat has made the whole stat
of Oregon a garden in the midst of
a dense pine and fir forest?
The general opinion, is of think
ing men in these parts that there
should be reason and common
sense in all things
Albany people are always glad
to see items which even suggest
the extension of the Corvallis and
Eastern Railroad into Eastern
Oregon, because of what it will
mean to this city when the event
occurs. The project is a very pract
icable one. Instead of being a
difficult grade, as has been suggest
ed by a Portland writer in the Ore-
gonian, the grade is - a very easy
one. Those who have been over
the route from Detroit into Crook
county say the road can be built
without much cutting on an easy
grade, eloping gently down into the
Deschutes valley; while on this
side the grade is only a 2 per cent
one at the worst. The completion
ot tne road will bring an immense
business into the Willamette valley
from Eastern Oregon and open
new condition of affairs, uniting
the Eastern and Western parts of
the state more than any other
thing which can be done, connect
ing me iwo pans, as it would in
the very center, much more effect
ively in its nature than the roads
running up the Columbia. It will
be done some day as sure as the
sun rises and sets on the Three
Sisters, but when, is, the serious
question in the minds of the valley
people, as well as Eastern Oregon
people, now as anxious for the
movement as we are here. Albany
Democrat.
The Portland Journal of last
Tuesday evening states that
'Mitchell, Hermann and William
son listen in a crowded court room
to the demolition of first defense
offered." Mr. Williamson, as a
will probably be given the last of
May. The proceeds will be for
the benefit of the band.
A large crowd attended the club
smoker at the Athletic hall ' lasU
Saturday night and the tobacco
fumes were about as thijk as the
rooms wonld allow. A short pro
gram was rendered and refresh
ments served, and the evening en
joyed by all who attended.
B. F. Johnson has completed ar
rangements to open a wood yard
in the city. He has recently pur
chased two lots near his residence
and will soon begin filling the
space with both pine and juniper
He intends to carry a large supply
one wnicn will not become ex
hausted during the summer
months when wood is scarce and
hard to get. Arrangements have
also been made for a four horse
power gasoline engine which will
be shipped from Portland and in
stalled in a few days. Mr. John
son will have the engine in the
yard-and keep on hand a great
quantity of sawed wood ready for
delivery. The project i3 one
which has never been undertaken
before on such an extensive scale
and will be of material benefit to
inose wno nna it uuncuit at vari
ous times to keep supplied with
fuel.
Sheriff Smith wan not a little din
mayed the other morning when he
picked an envelope from his mail,
tore it open and read the following
astounding statement:
I don t love you any more. Guess
we'd better part forever."
Ihree initials, unfamiliar to the
Sheriff, were signed at the close of
this heart breaking confession,
which nearly prostrated Crook
county's guardian of the law. Dep
uties Haner and Macleod soon re
stored the Sheriff to his normal con
dition and a closer inspection of the
envelope revealed the fact that
through an oversight the Sheriff had
opened a letter addressed to his 12
year-old-son, Stanley.
A minister, who is pretty well
known in Priuevilleate supper recent
ly at the home of a newly married
couple. An hour or so afterwards
he delivered n sermon at the Union
church.
That was a good sermon, Rev "
said one of the members of the con
gregation after dismissal, "but it
wasn't quite long enough. You
don't look well. Are you sick?"
"Well, not exactly sick," said the
reverend gentleman, "but I feel that
I am too old a man to subject my
digestive apparatus to the cooking
matter of fact, had been home for j,iu . i . t t ,j.
' c of this evening's experience, I can t
is say that I feel entirely well."
