Sheep Shipping
Records Broken
The Shanico Star says: "With a
total of 61,700 head of iheep ship
ped from Shaniko this week, tie
Shaiuko branch of the O-W. II & N,
break ail records for aheep n!iip
menu In the name length of tine
nut only for any point In oregon,
but for the entire Pacific northwet.
Seventy carload were sent out In
one day, and 109 car will bo used
to accommodate the entire shipment
before the week is up next Tuesday.
Thi represent the main part of
the dpring turn-off for the country
immediately tributary to this point,
though there remain about 45,000
yet to come from outlying ranche
where hearing ha been held up by
dmot continuous rain for ten day.
The stuck I all In splendid condition
n account of the mild winter and
jilenti fulness of feed. H in prob
able that O.-W. R. & N. will handle
n excess of 100,000 head of sheep
out of Shaniko this season.
The Northern Pacific railroad will
iltribute 35 car of this shipment
through South Dakota and to Chi
cago. New Homestead Bill
Up to the President
Without words of debate, with
.out a dissenting vote, the House
of Representatives agreed to the
conference report on the Borah
Jones three year homestead bill
and it was signed by Speaker
Clark. As soon as it Is signed
by tbe Vice-President It will go
to the White House for President
Taft's approval and tbe general
expectation is that tbe bill will
become a law before tbe end of
the week.
It Is customary for the Pres
ident to refer a public land bills
to the Secretary of the Interior
before signing, and this course
may be taken with the three-year
bill, but lhat is not likely.
The action of the House today
was accomplished without any
friction, those In charge of the
bill wuiting until Its opponents
were out of the hull before call
ing it up. Five minutes after
the conference report was read,
It had beeu approved by the House
without roll call. Half an hour
later some who intended oppos
ing the adoptiou of conference
report found it too late.
It the session of Congress lasts
long enough Senator Borah will
endeavor to get the House his
correlated bill directing the
the patenting of homesteads on
Government irrigation projects
soon as entry men comply with
the homestead law. This bill
has passed the Senate, but has
not been reported by the House
committee. . If it is enacted,
homesteaders on Government
projects can get patent in three
years, instead of waiting 10, as
at present required.
Central Oregon Needs
Railroad Facilities
"What Central Oregon needs
more than anything die is ad
ditional railroad facilities," said
. P. Davidson, president of the Nttrnh M.CMfk, ami Mnrnh M. (leek

state's Interior iocompany with a :
party of Great Northern im
migration officials, '
"It is hard to adroit," said
Mr. Davidson, "but it is true,
that a majority of the homestead
ers bo have takon up land in
Central Oregon In the last four!"'"' i;r;'ix'rtv, mentioned
a " . , ;erllied lu mtldatill, mid o
or nve years are not producing being for the partition ot
more man enough to keep them
. . . . ... r ;
selves and their ittraillea. ootr.e i
have abandoned their places bI- !
,, ' . , ,,, , ,
together and are holding their
laud foe the development of the
T , , , '
country, And they are
Homing
It at good prices, too.
"Now, this luck of develop
ment is not because the couutry
will not boar development. Our
trip proved tho contrary, as none
of us ever had seen better crops
anywhere.
"Uut a man Is not going to do
to much farming for tbe market
when ho bus to haul hi ptoducts
100 to 100 miles to a railroad.
On the average !i0 miles is about
the limit of distance that a farm
er luCenUal Oregon may reason
ably be expected to haul bis pro
duce to soil It. The territory
within that radius of the new
railrouds In Central Oregon Is
developed and is doing splend
idly. It will produce heavily
this yoir. The dry farming
section never looked better, and
farmers tell me that they will
have tho bist crops In tbeir
history.
All along tbe railroads :
and on either side of them the !
cmin fluids the vpL'ftiihla car-!
grain, uoius. too vefceiaom fcr
dens, the young orchards and
, ' , ... ..
the stock ranches r reflect tbe
fertility ot the
nil n.wl ttm in 1
SOU BUU llieiD,
dustry of the people. Within
a few years the territory Im
mediately tributary to the rail
roads will add an immense vol
ume of value to the stule.
"This same situation could be
duplicated in the southern and
eastern part of tbe state, given
adequate transportation facil
ities. Toe soil is just as good,
the climate Is just as favorable
and the moisture is present in
the same proportions. The peo
ple need only a more economical
method of getting to the market."
It is probable that the recent
trip of Mr. Davidson and his
party will result iu early activity
in Centaal Oregon. Accompany
ing him were E. C. Leedy,
general immigration agent of tbe
Great Northern; Fred V. Gra
ham, Western immigration agent;
C. C. Morrison, Immigration
agent at Chicago; T. L. McDonald
of St Paul, and E. A. Hagrave,
of Helena, Mont., special immi
gration agent. Wherever the
party stopped those men visited
the farmers and the homestead
ers to learn-their experiences,
and to determine, if they could
the nted of the country.
Mr. Leedy left yesterday
morning for Helena, whore he
will meet the special train bring
L. W. Hill, ex-president of the
Great Northern, and members of
of his party, to Seattlo sud Port
land. It is understood that he
and the other Great Northern
agents, are prepared to make
reports substantially on the basis
outlined by Mr. Davidson and
recommending the early con
struction of a railroad south from
Bend. ' , (
Mr. Hill is associated with Mr.
Davidson in the Oregon & West
tern Colonization Co., which
controls 800,000 acres of timber
and farm land in Central Oregon
and proposes himself to take &
trip through that eection this
Summer. Following his visit
it is probable that definite action
toward relieving the situation in
the interior will be takon.
Mr, Hillit, is understood, will
devote much of his time in the
future to the development of the
territory tributary to the llill
linos. He is parUcu!ary in
