You bet there Is. Henry Montgomery of Willow creek sold a big (at porker to Ilorigm & Reioke the last of tbe week for 103. Two small ones brought IG7.G0. Tbe three netted Mr. Montgomery $130.60. This is a big price, yet market conditions bid (air to keep pork at a good round price lor many years. If our farmers will go into tbe busines of raising hogs on an ex tensive scale and stick to it tbey would soon beoome independant. A man must learn the business, just like any other business. He must know how to breed, feed and care (or his animals, especially the breeding stock,' that no failure will result at burrowing time.

PRINEVILLE WILL BE BUSY IN 1911 Lots of New Buildings in Prospect BUILDING MATERIAL SCARCE New Sawmills will Help Re lieve the Situation to Some Extent. Prineville expects 1911 to be tbe greatest, building year in its history. On January 6 property owcers ol Prineville will vote on a new school building. Tbe town has outgrown its present quarters and more room is imperative. It will be made large enough to meet school requirements for years to come. Tbis will be good economy. A ten-room brick or stone structure, with modern equipment, would be a great thing lor tbe city. The in vestment would De a paying one from any point of view. Such a school building would cost some where between 120,000 and 130,000. We need it. The Crook County Bank will build a fine new home during 1911 v X J. - ft . . JV-.-v - . Looking Last from th Courthou.e, Prineville, Oregon Building and furnishings will cost between 10,000 and 120,000. j C. V. Foster has let a contract for a $3,500 home to be completed by March 1. Shipp & Perry have the contract. . It will be on the bungalow order and possess several unique features. Cut red stone steps will lead up to the large front entrance. The pillars supporting the porch will be of red stone, trimmed with black stone. The floor of the porch will be concrete. The interior will be finished in pine, oak and white enamel. A new city hall is among the buildingejn prospect for 1911. A modern greenhouse will be completed by C. W. Spring as soon as glass arrives from Shaniko. This business is no experiment with Mr. Spring. He tried it last year and so great was the demand for hiB products that he could not keep up with it. The new green house will double his output. Mrs. Maling's new brick will soon be completed. It is a two-story structure and will accommodate the O. K. Market and the Pioneer Cream Company on the ground floor. The upper floor will be given over to the Pictorium theater. The plans have been completed for the new Baptist church. The work on the superstructure will be taken up right away. When com pleted this will be a native stone structure, seating 250 persona and will be the beet church building in central Oregon. The Shipp & Perry mill, which has been purchased from the Oris zley Lake Lumber company and installed on the McKay during the past two months, has already started to saw, and will turn "out about 10,000 feet of lumber a day. This will all be used in the Shipp & Perry yards in this city. Be sides this amount, which will total more than a million feet for the year, this firm has a oontract for another million feet from the R. E. Jones & Company mill, and Demaris & Som are under con tract for the delivery of 600,000 feet, which will give this firm more than two and a half million feet of lumber for the market here. Be sides this, the Demaris mill cut a half million feet lor the retail trade, and the Barney Brothers mill will cut a million feet during the year. Barney Bros., who are operating on upper Mill creek have let s contract tor a million feet of logs to be cut and put into tbeir pond early io the winter. Tbe mill will begin sawing for the season about February 1. A. H. Lippman & Co. have 300,- 000 feet of lumber on band. This will be dried and ready (cr use early in the spring. This firm bss a mill of 20,000 feet capacity on Wil low creek, where they will cut 2,- 000,000 feet during the coming summer, and another mill will be installed by there people on their McKay holding., where they ex pect to cut 2,000,000 feet more. Pnneville-Redmond Road Ready for Use The Prineville Redmond road i ready for travel. This is a road almost in a straight line from the top of the grade west ol Prineville to thecorporate limits of Redmond. The distance from tbe top of the grade, which is a mile and a hall west of Prineville, is sixteen miles to Redmond, making a total dis tance of seventeen and a half miles from one city to the other. This ' . s - 1 , of, is about four miles less than the old Crooked river road and the roadway is free from the rough snd uneven places that are so numerous on the old road. At present the road is cleared to a width of twenty feet and is brought to a crown in the center about ten inches higher than the Bides. Only light ries are eoine over the new road as yet, but as soon as the surface ol the roadway dries a little the travel will become general. It will soon become one of the best roads in the county. The nature ol the soil through which this road is built is such that with very little cost, a road second only to oiled or other pre' pared surfaces is possible. This is very important for several reasons. It will be the road over which many of the people who have busi' ness at the county Beat will come from the west side of the county. It will be the shortest possible dis tance from Prineville to the Oregon Trunk railroad. Not only will the distance be shorter, but the mail supply which has never reached Prinenille within less than thir teen hours' stage drive, will be brought here from Redmond in from 45 minutes to one hour by auto every day in the year. This road cost the Redmond Commercial Club $350, in return for which they will secure the travel from Prineville to the rail road. It cost the Prineville Com mercial club $150, and the county $450. "All roads lead to Rome," and many ol them lead to Prineville, also a number of them to Red mond. Wanted. Men to cut wood, $2.00 and $2.50 per cord.

LINE'S ROUTE CHOSEN Deschutes and Klamath Cutt-Off to he Linked THE TIME IS NOT TET KNOWN Harriman System will Rush the Work on Projects Already Undertaken. Construction of a new railroad from Redmond, the terminus of the . Descbutei line, to Odell, on tbe Klamath-Natron cutoff, baa been authorized by the Southern Pa cific director?, was announced last week by Julius Kruttschnitt, di rector of operation and mainten ance of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific systems, says the Oregonian. However, no definite time for be ginning woik on the Redmond Odeli road baa been determined. Ii the meantime, tbe company will endecyjr to complete as early as possible all of the projects al ready undertaken. A'l of the present contracts on the Klamath Natron cutoff, says Mry Kruttsch nitt, will be completed before the end of the present fiscal year June 30 after which he will recommend that the remainder of the route, which . he viewed on Monday, be contracted for and the work finished with all possible speed, so that the new 22-hour schedule between Portland and Sin Francisco cm be put into ef fect at the earliest possibla day. tiU Um AitWi4. "The directors of the company . have authorized, the road from Redmond to Odell," said Mr. Kruttschnitt, "but it is impos sible to determine the time when work will commence. Tbe road will ultimately be built; that is certain. It will open a rich coun try that at present has no railroad facilities. ' PMukilttio an twli. With reference to the proposed East and West lines from Ontario, near the Idaho state line, to a con nection with the Klamath-Natron line, Mr. Kruttschnitt declares that the possibilities for early con struction were somewhat remote. He expressed the opinion that such a road eventually would be built, however. In the work through the De schutes canyon, " he said, joint trackage agreements had been en tered into with the Oregon Trunk Railway over some of tbe most difficult portions. The Harriman line has progressed ahead of that of the Hill system in Borne places, and the former line likely will ba completed over the 137-mile stretch from the Columbia river to Red mond before the latter is finished to Bend. .
