MEN AT WORK
Both Railroads Pushing
Work in Canyon
NO LET UP FOR THE WINTER
Harriman Attorney Reducing
Legal Points into Specific
Form for Decisions.
Aside from the continual increasing
of the forces at work and the opening of
new camps, the bead office in Portland
of the Deachute Railroad Company
and the Oregon Trunk Line say that no
changes have taken place in the situation-
in the Deschutes River , canyon.
The last report received say the con
tractors have about 900 men on the
work. The Oregon Trnnk Line reports
the number at work for that company's ;
contractor ia in excess of 1000.
The winter month will not cause any
let-up inactivities. Most of the wck
ia in rock and can be pushed in cold
weather, aa well aa in the summer.
The principal necessity is to get a large
amount of supplies into the construc
tion campa before the roads are b!ocked
by anow. '
Porter Brothers, the Hill contractors,
have established campa on the lower
river, it ia reported, the controversy
over she Moody dam site near the
mouth having been adjusted by the
road agreeing to go over it. Litigation
over rights in the canyon, which for a
time caused Porter Borthers to delay in
letting sab-contracts, have been ad-
uated to audi an extent that the sub
contracts are being let all along the line
and the woik ia practically all covered
in this manner at present.
Both railroads are reported working
crews at the bin tunneU at Horseshoe
Bend, where the first conflict occurred
early in August.
For the first time in months the
blocked road serosa the Gorts ranch,
leading to the brink of the Deschutes
canyon at Horseshoe Bend, was opened.
Following the dissolution earlr in
August of the temporary injunction, se
cured by the Harriman road restrain'
ing the closing of the ranch road, the
gate was again locked and two men were
placed on guard. Thereafter, even the
Harriman engineers were compelled
to seek access to the canyon by trails,
and needed supplies. Including hay.
were taken to the Twohy Bros', camps
by pack animate by another route.
Tuesday, at Moro, the case was to
hare come on for hearing on its merits,
but a stipulation was entered into be
tween the opposing sides, providing for
the opening of the ranch until the No
vember term of court. Twohy Bros.
will thus have a month at least in
which to freight winter supplies to the
Horseshoe Bend camps. During the
short period that the injunction was in
force Twohy Bros, freighted large
quantities of materials and supplies to
their camps, so that the closing of the
gate again did not seriously inconven
ience them.
A new move in the legal war involv
ing rights along the Deschutes river
was taken in the Federal Court in Port
land. The attorneys for the Harriman
interests filed a motion asking the court
to increase the amount of the injunction
bond required by the restraining order
of August 24. It ia also asked that the
center line of the Oregon Trunk Line
between Mile Post 40 and the Mouth of
White creek be more definitely describ
ed. This, it is understood, is for the
purpose of making the issues more
specific for the consideration of the In'
terior Department.
Redmond News Letter.
Redmond, Ore., Sept. 10, '09,
The writer takes pen In. hand to
write the Journal what will proba
bly be a farewell letter. As we are
now assured ol one raiiroau anu
probably two, and na we will have
our own local paper inside of an
other month, the undersigned will
leave to others the task of keeping
the public reminded that Redmond
Is on the map and that the little
town on the desert is rapidly out
growing its first pair of red topped
boots and will aoon be growing
down on its upper lip. Evidently
our main work from now on in the
newsDaoer Hue will be to see that
nothing escapes the attention of the
new editor.
Redmond has had Its full quota of
visitors this summer, most of whom
went away quite pleased with the
country and Its hospitable people.
We might enumerate Miss Johnson
of Tacoma, sister of Mrs. Eshlers,
Miss MeCaffery from York state rela
tives of John Tuck and of J . R.
Woods, a sister and niece of Mrs.
Redmond, Ed Johnson of Iowa, the
president of the local bank, with his
family, and D. C. Hall's daugher.
Hume who are still with us are Mrs.
Irvln'a altr from Ohio, and J. J.
Buckley and family from Cuar
d'Alene.
Our haraeas) maker, Theo Herkner,
la now located wltb us for keep, aa
alno our furniture man. The furni
ture store la searing completion and
the family la expected aoon. We
understand that the madam will
carry a line of millinery.
Ed GarllnKhouae ia another new
comer permanently located down
the main canal, and Mr. Lytle and
family are ont on what waa once
called the Orchard Totem Pole
Rooster Ranch.
E. O. Gatchell and wife are in
again for some extensive Improve
ments on their place west .of town.
Mrs. Brown expects a son In aoon
with his family, and Mrs. A. A.
Green expecta a daughter, all to
stay.
Among the departures we must
note Fred Sherwood and Warren !
Lamb, both-of whom will attend
Willamette University at Salem,
also M. W. File who left here to take
charge of aome property Interests
for his father.
Two restaurant are under way,
one of them already open and doing
quite a bUBlneas.
We understand the new Methodist
minister arrived last night. The
Red field house will be the parsonage.
F. M. Zumwalt haa rented the
Kirk Whlted town property.
There have been various visitors
to the Core and also across the
mountains for fruit, all of whom
came back pleased.
Mrs. Jones and Laura expect to
leave thia week for a vtslt in Cali
fornia. Our telephoneTsyetem la coming
right along and the tinkle of the
bells will soon be heard.
F. W. MeCaffery la building a resi
dence in town.
The Oregon Hub will be boused In
what waa the Jones restaurant
buildlug. The editor comes well
recommended from Wasco.
Neighbors surprised Mr. and Mrs.
F. A. Kennard a week ago. the oc
casion being their twenty-fifth wed
ding anniversary. Among the ap
propriate gifts received were twenty-
five silver twenty-five cent pieces.
Ehref Bros, have made quite ex
tensive Improvements In the Interior
of their store.
We have had occasion several times
to speak of some one losing a good
horse or cow, but have never been
given to writing obituaries. Oc
casionally however a four-footed
friend from being especially well
known deserves a little more than a
passing remark. Those of us who
have become familiar with C. R. Mc-
Lallin's "Well, what kind of a dog
are f you, any way?" appreciated
how much "Duke" was one of the
family, and were quite shocked to
bear of the tragedy that befell on
last Thursday morning. Mac got
his gun to shoot a hawk over in
Mr. Chapman's field. He stood so
as to fire over the cellar and just as
be fired the dog jumped up and took
the whole load. One wag and It
was all over with poor Duke. Both
Mack and his wife take It pretty
hard, and but few of us can fully
sympathize with them for but tew of
us lore a four-footed animal as they
had grown to lore the dog that had
been their faithful friend for four
years. - JS. U. 1'auk.

DAIRY INTERESTS
ON INCREASE
Farmers Begin to Sit
Up and Take Notice
THERE'S GOOD MONEY IN IT
Some Already Weeding Un
prfoitable Cows Out of Herds
Big Future for It Here
The 15th of each month Is always
a red-letter day for the dairyman of
Crook county. Thia la the time set
by the Pioneer Cream Company to
pay for the butter fat received the
month previous. On the 15th of Sep
tember upwards of f 800 waa checked
out to the farmers of the couuty.
The ruling price for butter fat was
33 cento. Over 3500 has been paid
out for butter fat by this firm since
the first of March.
The demand for Crook county but
ter Is getting better all the time.
Shipments are sent regularly to
Grass Valley, Shanlko, Bend, Red
mond and In fact to all nearby
towns. Cream Is received from all
parts of the county. Rosland sends
In a regular supply aa well as nearby
places. One-man ships in 75 miles
and then finds that it pays him.
ThiB fact should certainly cause
those who II vej nearer to Investigate
and profit by the market at home
for prod ucts.of the dairy.
Some of our dairymen are going
Into the business scientifically. They
are breeding up their herds and keep
tab on every cow. Where one
falls below a certain percentage of
profit it Is disposed of one way or
another. The unprofitable ones are
soon weeded ut and the herd placed '
upon' a' good monej--Tnakto tmster-
j This fact Is being noted with pleas
ure; Dyitne proprietors ol tue
creamery. They anticipate a pay
roll ( next summer of. $2000 a month
Instead of $800 as at present. It is
up to our farmers to say Just how
much It will be. If you can get 33
cents', for butter" fat as at f present.
why go to the trouble of making
butter nd sellllt for 25 cents? Yet
there are a few that do this.
