direct roots was insugurated
during tbe session of the district
court at which from your vi
ciniiy was participating. In or
der to get this route it is necessary
that we leave nothing undone that
can he done in connection with it
You are no doubt aware that an
application was made last spring
and failed. This does not mean
that our present effort will meet
with the same fate for we are try
ing to avoid all tbe errors and
shortcomings of last spring s at
tempts.
In addition to the general ap
plication of which you have
copy, you should receive in about
a week what purports to be a com
mittee's summary or brief, which
has been prepared in advance and
is to be signed by what claims to
be a committee composed of a cer
tain number at every principal
postoffice district as explained in
the circular letter accompanying
it. Besides Madras. Redmond
Laidlaw, Bend, Silver Lake an
Culver are preparing special local
petitions or supporting statements
to accompany the general petition
and it is on this account I am in
structed by the central committee
to write to you, in order to have
draw up one too. The local
petition should be in the form of
a letter addressed from an
bearing any date between now and
Dec. 1,1906, and to Hon. G. B.
Cortelyou, Postmaster General,
Washington, D. C. As it would
be best to have it typewritten, we
think you could get this done at
Redmond without cost. Have it
signed by at least 15 or 20 of your
most representative men, showing
after theaignatur tbe signer's busi
ness. Bend this with tbe general
petition to the address of tbe Cen
tral Committee, Box 105 Bend,
Oregon, not later tban the 28th of
this month.
In this local petition it will be
well to call attention to the needs
of your community, that is, fully
explain the importance of your
poatoffice as a population center
both at present and in the near
future, calling particular atten
tion to saw mills, the lumbering or
timber interests and the numerous
irrigating ditches from Squaw
Creek. Also call attention to the
present onsatisfactory and irregu
lar mail service from Shaniko to
via Prineville and give the
reasons for the same referring par
ticularly to the adobe and Grizzly
Mountain on the road between
Heisler'a and Prineville and the
alkali swsils and adobe on the
Crooked River bottoms between
Prineville and O'Nneila, in com
parison with which it may be well
to give your opinion of the route
applied for from Shaniko to Bend
via Madras. Redmond, etc. Be
sure and say Grizzly Mountain
and not Butte if you refer to Griz
zly at all as the Department con
siders a butte only a small hill.
Trusting that you are meeting
with good success in securing
signatures, we remaim. Yours for
success in this matter.

Chairman of Committee.

In the hurry of proof reading in
our edition of November 15 tbe
type made us say in regard to the
new court house that "if the build
ing was undertaken it would not
cost the county more than $40,000,
and might be built for lees."
should have read "$45,000." That
is the way it was written but when
put into type it appeared as $40,
000. We did not notice the typo
graphical error until our attention
was called to it by some mislead
ing statements made by our west
side contemporaries. They seem
to take exceeding unction unto
themselves because the second bids
were lower than those made at
first. They take all the credid of
saving the taxpayers the amount
of the difference. As a matter of
fact the first bids were turned
down before the injunction was
served. The county court had no
intention of letting the contract at
that figure and the claim made by
these papers is simply a little bit
of fiction.
How They Feel at Madras.
Madras, Oregon, Nov. 23, 1906.
Editor Journal Since there has
been so much talk and so much
ink-slinging and so much petition
ing and so much injunctioning
around here it has almost addled
tbe brain of some of our people
until it has almost made us believe
that Prineville is not on tbe map;
that it is simply a razor-backed
rooster. Therefore the Madras
Dreamer dreamed a dream during
time when tbe whole country
round about was in a whirl around
the Madras hub. An J it was this:
A large new county court house
was seen perched upon the back
yard of a place of abode near a lit
tle green-covered residence in East
ern Madras and over the door of
this massive house of public
utility and justice were inscribed
tbe words "At Last." If at first
you don't succeed at Antelope try,
try again at Madras where success
is realized." Upon this wonderful
piece of modern architectural
beauty and county pride was a
famous two-story dome and from
the balcony of the first story bung
large picture labeled "Madras
ownsite Sec'y and TJ. 8. Com'r,"
and on its left was a pile of sand
or dust and on tne ngbt was an
empty pitcher trying to pour water
upon the sand. Just behind the
picture could be seen an artesian
well-drilling outfit whose boss was
reading a notice which read some
thing like this, "Wait until we are
incorporated as a city and then
we can use public funds to pay
you for your job the people are
clamoring for and build up our
town." Within an alcove upon
the second story was a huge statue
of soft soapstone seated upon a
flimsy stool and before it stood the
image of the old Des.dwood stage
coach labeled "To h 1 with
Prineville, for thanks to the Pio
neer we travel a different trail."
In the band of the image was
clasped the Madras Pioneer cover
ed with land proof notices of many
people who want to prove up and
leave (their cash). In the mouth
of this image was a forked bugle
and out of one came a blaze of fire
and out of the other came icicles.
Upon its brow was a crown beauti
fully inscribed "I am the highcock
alorum and he below is the low
cockalorum." Then the Dreamer
awoke and after looking around in
wonder saw that the same old
world was here and its business
was carried on in the same old
. ... .1J ...x
way ana at tne same oia bisuu.
Yours truly. The Dreamer.

:
The property consists of 33 claims in the South
eastern part of Crook county, on the head waters of
the Ochix'0 river. There is an abundance of water
for power purposes and some of the best timber in the
county is located on these claims. The economic con
ditions for mining could not be better.
The mines are now on a payiny basis, but with
. additional machinery they can be made a big dividend
payer as the output can be doubled with very little
additional cost. of labor. In order to install this ma
chinery the management has decided to issue 10,000
shares of Treasury Stock. This stock will in all
probabilities be the last offered for sale. It will be
sold at 81. 00 per share. There is no deviating from
this price. That the stock will increase in value is a
certainty. You can find no better place to invest
your money. If you desire to get in on this you will
have to do so at once, as this stock was put on the
market in order to give the residents of the county a
chance to realize something from an investment in
one of their own properties.
This is not a speculation at all but a sound business
investment based upon ascertained facts. The mine
has been developed beyond the experimental stage.
About the best recommendation we can give these
mines is that the men employed by the company are
investing their savings in the purchase of this stock.
Also such men as Clark, Daly, Fair, Haggin, and a
host of others have made their money from mines and
the development of them.
