HURRAH
FOR
THE
FOURTH
OF
JULY
Get your money's worth
People are getting tired of it getting tired of beina
held up they want their money's worth now the gold
brick day are over.
People used to be willing to smoke cabbage leaves in
place of Havana and pay good money for it if they got a
premium or coupon willing to buy tea and pay twice its
worth iust to get a dish free those days are over people
want their money's worth now they want what they pay
for value received.
The line of general merchandise we sell offers you your
money's worth we don't have to offer you a lot of cheap
inducements to hide cheap quality. When you buy a pair
of shoes we don't throw in a premium, your money goes
into the value of the shoe. It's the same with our clothing,
hats dry good, and groceries. We. Jl you the genume
article at a reasonable price. THA T5 ALU I MA 1 a
ENOUGH.

Government Resumes
Work on Trail
Forest Ranger C. S. Congleton left
town yesterday afternoon in charge of a
crew of eight men and a wagon load of
applies bound for work on the govern
ment trail between the head of McKay
rsfc m.l the John DT river, where
ifteen miles of trail have been author-
l .ed to be built as an extension of the
work done last year. Thoee in Congle-
ton'i party are : T. G. Becker, C. C.
Lemley, J. G. Edington, C. M. Irvine,
Ed. McCaffery, horaca Belknap, Walter
McFarland and Bert Barnes. They will
I ceive their mail at Paulina, addressed
in care of C. S. Congleton. Mr. Congle
ton thinks they will be engaged in the
work until snow flies.
Another crew under charge of Estes
Short has gone to the bead of McKay to
take np the work of clearing the trail of
fallen tree and other debris, through
to the point where the new work is to
be commenced. With Short are G. C.
Speaker, W. F. Hughes and Asa Clark.
Harry Hamilton has gone into the
service as a forest guard and has been
appointed to Dist. No. 9, in the region
about Pine Mountain.
Lou M. Brown the veteran hunter
and trapper of Crook county, has
been engaged by the forest service to
take the field as a government
hunter to assist in the extermination
of the varmints which prey upon the
flocks and herds of the stockmen In
the ranges. Brown will be accom
panied by his bear dog, and the wise
iteare, cougars and wolves will steer
C'ear of his path. Brown will roam
.ibout in the Blue Mountaius, be
ginning about July 15, and will
urobibly be employed for about
three months this season. He Is to
receive a salary of $75 u month and
will furnish all his own equipment.
Besides the salary he baa the
privilege of collecting all the bounties
of the scalps of the varmints he kills.
Later In the season Brown may bunt
In the Maury mountains, but all of his
work will be confined to the Des
chutes National Forest under tbe di
rection of Supt. Ireland.
This Is the first time that this de
partment of the forest service has
tried tbe paid hunter ideu, and the
results of Mr. Brown's expedition
will be watched with much interest
by the stockmen and the public
generally. Every year the depreda
tions oi the bears, cougars, wolves,
coyotes and bob-cats make serious
damage on the flocks of sheep and
herds of cattle and horses of the
range linens, and the systamatic kill
ing of the brutes which do the dam
age is what the government Is at
tempting to try.
Big Electric
Railroad Project
A special dijpatch from The Dalies to
the Tortland Journal, dated July S, says
that the largest mortgage ever recorded
in Wasco county has been filed with the
county clerk by C. D. Charles trust
deed given by the Wasco County Elec
tric Power company to the Carnegie
Trust company of New York, to secure
a bond issue not to exceed 115,000,000.
The filing fee for this instrument was
$19.80.
The Wasco County Electrical com
pany was recently incorporated with a
capital stock of 3,000,000, and with its
principal office at Condon. The pur
poses of this company are to take over
the property of the Oregon Gold 1 res
pecting & Developing company, which
ontrols30 miles of water righUonthe
Deschutes liver, reaching from the
mouth of Warm Spring liver to the
month of Matoles river in Crook
county, and a like itretcn oi water
rights on the John Day river. The
company a water ngnts on toe Le-
chutes are said to control one of the
finest water powers in the world, a
power which if developed would gener
ate not lees than oOO.OUO horsepower
Haraeaa Dock it es taJ Joka Day.
Mr. Charles states that the company
purposes to erect a plant at some con
venient point on the Deschutes capable
of developing 60,COO horsepower, half of
which baa been contracted for a term of
200 years by the Portland, Baker City
and Butte railroad. This company, it is
understood, propoee building an electric
road from Portland to Butte, Montana
The course of the road through Ore
gon will be southerly and easterly from
Portland through Clackamas county to
the summit of the Cascades, thence east
erly through Warm Spring Indian reser
vation to the Deschutes river, crossing
that stream at the mouth of Trout creek
and John Day river, thence along that
river to Canyon City and across the
Blue mountains to Baker City. Thii
road, it is stated, will be electrified its
entire length, and will consume a large
part of tbe output of the Deschutes
plant, and also of a plant to be erected
on John Day river.
Network f Electric Liaet,
Aside from constructing a main line
from Portland to Butte, the company
proposes building branch lines running
north and south, connecting with all the
principal sections of central Oregon,
making a network of electric lines
throughout the eastern part o! the state,
reaching from the Columbia river to the
California and Nevada lines.
The rep. rt is current that arrange
ments hfcvs already been perfec ed or
the building of the firet 117 miler, and
that construction work will be com
menced August 1. The line of this pro
posed road passes through somn of the
richest sections of the state, which when
once given t'Snsportation facili'.ios w ill
become continuous grain fields and
meadows. It also taps one of the best
yellow pine belts on the coast, and will
bring within the reach of market mil
lions of feet of the finest finishing lum
ber that grows. - -The
electric company, aside from fur
nishing motive power for the proposed
railroad, will make it possible to pump
water by electric power out of Deschutes
aud John Day rivers for irrigating pur
poses, thus bringing under cultivation
large tracts of now worthless lands,
which onlv rennire the touch of water
to make them the most productive on
earth.

New Road Open for Traffic
BenJ, Or., July 5, 1!0D.
Editor Crook County Journal :
The new county road, which brandies
off the Silver Ijike road sixteen miles
south of Bend and connects with the
Crane Prairie road two miles due west,
just above the head of hpring river, is
open for traffic. The bridge across the
Defchutes was constructed bv County
Commissioner K. H. Uayley and com
plfted June 24th. It was approved and
acceptel bv Cort Allen an l wife June
2oih. Fred" Shonquest and Dink Atkin
son also inspected the work and pro
nounced it the best bridge in the coun
ty. Eoad Supervisor M. F. Hawthorne
had charge of the roadwork and it is
considered the straight ?st two miles ol
road in the county, as it follows the sec
tion. It is too bad that all county roaits
are not constructed on section lines in
stead of spending money on roads that
would break a snake's back trying to
follow and winch will eventually have
to be made straight. As a taxpayer,
and I believe I voice the sentiments of
all taxpayers, and future ones, too, that
I ask you to use all lour influence to
have "all county roads follow section
lines. Yours very truly,
Taxpayer.
