At places so report has it, there is no such thing aa bottem to it. Along that portion between Grizzly and Hay creek is the worst and the mail stages there employ six horses to draw or rather drag the coach, for in many places the axles drag in the mud. While money is being subscribed for the improvement of the Shaniko road outside of Crook county that portion within this county's limits should have some consideration, too. County Judge Ellis says that it will be one of his policies to do much improve ment work on the county highways during his term of office, and money spent wisely in that direc tion will undoubtedly meet with tbe enure approval of the citizens of the county. The road to Shaniko is bv far the most important of any to the people of a larger portion of the couuty, and it should be kept at least passable during all portions of the year. HARRIMAN TO SPEND MILLIONS. Continued from page 1. should be reinforced by that of a delegation of representative busi ness men. It has been possible at times in the past to arouse these men for less important purposes, and there should be no difficulty in securing their services on this, the most important matter that has confronted Portland in many years. Let us for a moment dismiss all vagaries and consider a few cold, hard facts regarding the Central Oregon railroad proposition. Wheat, lumber and livestock are the three great staples on which a railroad must depend for traffic in the Central and Southeastern Oregon Country. Portland offers no market for the lumber, and it must go east by rail. The live- stock is driven to California or to j Eastern Oregon rail points. Lack1 of railroad faculties has prevented grain growing on a scale greater than necessary for home con-ump tion. With transportation facili ties available, it is estimated that the" territory suitable for grain growing could, under favorable circumstances reach a maximum production of 8,000.000 to 10,000, 000 bushels. Ten years ago, when California still figured as an exporter of wheat, Portland would have offered the only market on which that Central Oregon wheat could be sold. Today the California mar ket can take every bushel of it, and ten years hence the entire Ceo tral Oregon territory will be unable to produce one-half the amount of wheat required by the California market. With Mr. Harriman's projected line across the state from Ontario and thence south to a connection with the Shasta route, every bushel of wheat in the Central Oregon territory could be bauled to Cali fornia by rail much more economi cally than by the longer rail and water route by way of Portland. This would leave Central Oregon in absolute command of the Cali fornia wheat trade, for no other locality in the Paci6c Nothwest would be so admirably situated for handling it. Assuming that our people shall not awake from the hypnotic spell which Mr. Teal and Colonel Wood have cast over them, and that they proceed with the construction of the state railroad, on what traffic will this railroad thrive? The en tire grain output of the country, from strickly economic reasons, will be drained out by the Harri man rou'e to the south. The lum ber will follow the short route to the East by the way of Ontario. Th3 live stock for Portland will come out by way of Natron or Ontario, and that for California will follow the route it now takes. These are condition, and not theories, and they are entitled to the most serious consideration by Portland. It is now up to the people of this city to decide whether they will aid in securing the right of way for a railroad for which money his already been secured, and which will open to this city an immense trade field, or whether they will follow the rainbow- chasers and force the Harriman system to build its road where it will be wtbomed and not ob structed. Redmond News. Redmond, Feb. 21 failure to get a batch of notes in last week's Journal was due to Mrs. Park's illness. She , vs threatened with a repetition of la.-t year's typhoid.
