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,

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

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.

NO DECREASE
IN WOOL PRICES
While it may be futile to at-
Temirv C isrscast thecourge ofjwool
prices for the year to come, there
are certain considerations which
may properly engage our attention
at the present time, and without -which
it is impossible to correctly
diagnose the real position of wool,
says the Shepherd's Bulletin.
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.
