ESTIMATES FORWARDED General Manager OT.rien, of the Harriman line?, says the devonian today, has forwarded estimates for the construction of the fust section of the Central Oregon railroad uj the Deschutes river, from a connec tion with the O. K. & N. at it mouth. Profiles of the new line and the probable cost were sent forward to the Chicago headquar ters of the Harriman ivsteni dur ing the past wctk. The estimates call for the ex penditure of $4,000,000 for building the first 100 miles of the Pescbutes line. This will construct the road as far south as Madras, tapping the big Central Oregon plain that is expected to furnish a vast traffic during the coming few years. Redmond News. Redmond, Nov. 22.

Saturday, DeWitt Lamb chopped 150 bushels of wheat, oats and barley with his team and little 2-horse mill. Warren Lamb is putting up a granary, J. G. McGuffie has pulled down his barn, remodeled and en larged it, and others are making just such solid improvements al though many of them are but small when taken by themselves. Jim Norwood says the D. I. (i P. Co. has given him a cistern which he has set up on the bank of the town lateral where it is handy to fill. It is a stave tank painted red and holds exactly one barrel when in good order. The remark was brought out by Carl Ehret telling about his cement cistern. He en larged the excavation for his tank and now has a first class 50-barrel cemented hole in the ground. Carl's item was called out by last week's note anent Mr. Muma's big cistern. So we see how far our little candle throws its beams, just like a good deed in a naughty world or some thing of the kind. E. C. Pakk. Sisters Sayings.

Wants Farmers to Co-operate By the suggestion of President Roosevelt, the Country Lite Com mission has a?ked the farmers of the country to meet in their re spective communities some time before Saturday, December 5, to discuss the questions which the commission is studying and to indicate their own ideas of what are the most important subjects for the commission to consider. In a letter to the members of the Country Life Commission the President says the farmers should feel "a sense of ownership in the commission," and that he believes the commission should get into the closest possible touch with the farmers. He urges the importance of holding the meeting before con gress adjourns prior to the Xmas holidays, so that at the time con gress reassembles, early in January the commission may have reports of the meetings in hand and may be "in position to advise definitely what should be done." At this time President Roosevelt adds two members to the commis sion, one member from the South and one member from the West, Charles S. Barrett, of Union City, Ga., and William A. Beard, of Sacramento, Cal. The President suggests as lead ing topics for discussion: i he efliciency of rural schools; Farmers' organizations; The question of farm labor; The need of good roads; Improved postal facilities; Sanitary conditions on the farm. Copies of the questions may be secured by writing to the Commis sion on Country Life, Washington, D. C. The commission desires that so far as possible a general sum mary or estimate of the discus sions in all the meeting places be promptly sent to its oflice in Wash ington, so that it may have the benefit of all suggestions in pre paring its report.

Thanksgiving day has been very quiet in Prinevillc, though it was preceded by a club dance Wednes day night.

Everybody is eating either tur key, duck, goose or chicken-, with auxiliaries of cranberries, nuts and mince pie.
