C & E FIRST ROAD INTO CROOK Extension of the Corvallis & Eastern road into Central Oregon instead of the Columbia Southern is advocated by Waliia Nash, who claims that the two governing principles of railroad construction. gradients and distances, argue fot. his proposition. Mr. Nash who has made a study I of the situation in rnterior Oregon, said he could prove to the satisfaction-of any reasonable perspn that the best results would be at tained by building the Corvallis Eastern rather than extending on to Bend as proposed, the road now " . T? . running eoi;:n Tram Shaniko. "The Corvallis & Eastern," said Mr. Nash, "utilizes the Minto Pass throuch the Cascade ranee of mountains, and by this route! the governing or maximum grade from the western side is only 2 to 1$ per cent, with almost abso lutely level roadway for Uie major portion of the distance to the Snake river as the eastern terminus. "As to the Columbia Southern, it is a remarkable fact that the grades are heavier between Biggs on the Columbia river and in the nterior of the state than they are by way of the route pioposed for the Corvallis & Eastern's exten sion. An ordinary freight engine hauls only seven loaded cars over the Columbia Southern grades." It has been known for several months that the promoters of the Christian cooperative colony, which is planning to purchase sev eral hundred thousand acres of land in the southeastern part of the state, ard endeavoring to buy the Corvallis road, and if this be done, it will be extended through the central part of the state. The negotiations of the co operative company are now in progress, and announcements are looked foe within a week of the success of plans among the east ern capitalists who have been in terested in the project. In the event of the Corvallis road being extended, a cutoff would be constructed leading from the eastern side of tho Cascade mountains northward to Portland, shortening the distance snfficiently to make it approximately an air line from the central part of the state to this city. Tho vast possibilities of the pro ject are understood when it is stated that Of the 90,000 square miles of area in the state of Ore gon, 50,000 in the central portion are without railway transportation. That region, thought in past years by many to be a desert, is posessed of latent resources w hich make it a potential empire teeming with millions and sending iorth im mense quantities of foodstuffs every year. Journal. COLUMBIA SOUTHERN SURVEY HAS BEGUN Crew of Engineers Is at Work Along the Line of Extension in the Vicin ity of Madras. Shaniko "pricked up her ears" Thursday and took notipe when about twelve surveyors arrived on the Columbia Southern and struck out for the Agency Plains country. The men were dumb as oysters and shut up like clams when question ed as to their movements or as to what company they represented. As there are no other interests seeking a route through that ter ritory, it was taken for granted that they are in the employ of the Harriman lines, says the Dalles Chronicle. The fact that the party headed for the Agency Plains country was taken as evidence by the people there that work will be carried on in that neighborhood in connec tion with the surveying party working eastward , from Natron, locating a feasible route through the Cascades, probably by way of Diamond Peak Pass. The pre sence of the surveyors in that vicinity, together with the fact that they headed toward Agency Plains, - J r . : t ci had in an extension of the Colum bia Southern to Bend, with an east and west line connecting with a feeder from Agency Plains, and probacy others m the locality, some benefit will be derived by that town. . v It is known that several recon naissances have been made at dif ferent times of the available routes through the Cascades to the east ward of Natron. It is said by well informed railroads that no survey . , i i .. . nas ever oeen penwimrS"" to accomplish this that the South ern Pacific is going to such an ex pense, ihe Uregon eastern Kau way company, under which name the corporation directing the sur vey was formed, first became known in August, when the papers were filed with the secretary o state showing Col. Win Crooks, James Wilson and H. F. Conner, all connected with the Harriman lines, as trustees. Though no official statement has been made that the company is an adjunct to the Harriman system, there is no longer any doubt as to who fathered it. WOMAN DISAPPEARS WHILE COMING HERE Something like a month ago an old lady, with a wason and team and a dog following the outfit passed through Silver Lake, bound for Washington from Yainax Agency. She bore a letter from someone at the latter place, re questing people along her line of travel to kindly render her what assistance they could, as she was old, feeble and deaf. William Sherlock, of Paisley, not long after her departure from Silver Lake,' went to Prineville on business. On his way he passed the old lady's camp at North Sand Springs. The horses, wagon with provisions bedding etc., and tne dog were there but no old lady. Un his re turn he again came by the camp and everything was as before, only that during the interval the dog had died. Mr. Sherlock made careful search for sign of some human being, but his efforts were fruitless. He found the letter, which the old. lady had shown to vcr'.ous people in Silver Lake, but nothing that would in any way explain the mystery of her sudden disappearance. North Sand Springs is a lonely spot about 50 miles north, on the desert, from Silver Lake. It is likely that this, as has been the disappearance of many other people in the vast unsettled coun try lying between here and Prine ville, will forever remain a mys tery. Silver Lake Oregonian. OTHER STATES WILL BE INVESTIGATED Oregon will not be the only state to have unenviable notoriety be cause of land frauds. Many of her western sisters are to undergo investigation this winter, and pro secutions similar in purpose and extent to these which have been carried on here will le begun by the Government agents. Secretary Hitchcock will try to upfoot graft and fraud in connec tion with the public lands wher ever they can be discovered. Sec set Service Agent Burns will leave Portland about the first of the year to begin m other states a searching inquiry against land thieves, a work in which he has been eminently successful, as his work in Oregon will testify. Just what state he will go to first he does not know; he is under the direct orders of Secretary nitch- cock. A thorough investigation will be had in Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming and other states. District Attorney Francis J. Heney will not accompany Mr. Burns in his work. He has spent considerable time in the prosecu tion of land frauds in this state, and has been highly successful.

These include the relation of supply to demand, the production of wool, past present and prospec tive, the increasing consumption of wool in spite of the liberal use which has been made of substi tutes in recent years, the present and prospective' needs of our mills, the importations of foreign fabrics in relation to the increasing cloth ing requriements of our people, the tendency of the production of wool to increase or diminish, either at home or abroad, the condition of general business as affecting the demand for clothing, the monetary situation, etc. That wool is at present selling at a high" price as compared with the average price of the past 15 years, and especially as compared with the price ruling in 1895-1890, no one will deny. But it may not be so generally known that, as compared with the prices ruling in many of the years previous to 1885, the present price of wool is low, for in 1804 Ohio XX washed wool sold at $1.03; in 1880 it sold at 55c; in 1872 it sold at 80c; in 1873 at 70c; in 1884 at 40c; in 1807 at 08c. On the other hand, in 1895, it sold at IGJc. The conditions governing the situation at present, however, are such as to make for a high range of values. The burdensome sup plies, which for several years hung over the market, have been wired out, as the consumption of wool throughout the world has increas ed very substantially without any corresponding increase in the pro duction of the article. The result has been that con sumers of wool find themselves very close to the sheep's back, and they have been obliged, in order to obtain their necessary raw mater ial to take the new wools quickly, or practically as soon as they have come off the sheep's back.
