Surveying the Right
of -Way for Railroad
The engineers are at work on the
urvey for the Metoliua-F'rineville
road.
F. M. von Planta, chief engineer
for Contractor Scheel, arrived in
Metolius last evening with his men
to begin the work of locating the
right-of-way. Judge Brink was
'phoned to send over additional
help, which he did this morning by
auto.
Railroad affairs will now develop
rapidly. Just where the permanent
line will be run will aoon be decided.
Of course the attitude of the farm-
erg toward the road will be a large
factor in making up the decision.
but no serious obstacles are appre
hended in that direction. Many of
them will gladly donate the land re
quired because of the increase in
value and the convenience of trans
portation facilities.
When the right-of-way problem is

County Judge Ex
plains About Cement
The following letter was mailed
to D. W, Barnett of Madras in re
sponse to a letter from Mr. Barnett
informing the county judge that a
rumor was being circulated that
the judge had paid the Oregon
Trunk railroad some money to save
himself the trouble of answering to
a charge of swiping a carload, more
or lees, . of
cement. The letter
-..j..
! r , .....
i 1 ir' u- w- arne". Madras, Ore
Friend Barnett: As far as I am
concerned, the yarn about the
cement is the result of ignorance
or maliciousness. There was some
cement condemned by the contrac
tor and left at or near the Crooked
River bridge. I learned from S. S.
Crawford, that the man in charge,
the contractor I believe, a Mr.
Lambrecht, allowed any one to take
as much as he could use, and so I
sent my teams and got - some of it.
I teamed recently that there is some
misunderstanding between the con
tractor and the' cement company.
You are at liberty to publish this
letter if you wish.
Yours very truly,
' G. Springer,
County judge of Crook county.
To official papers the county
judge considers himself public prop
erty, and while he may not always
take time to explain about a little
thing like a carload or two of
cement, if he steals a railroad and
gets off with it as easily as he has
so far with the cement deal, he
promises to solve the problem of
transportation for Prineville. Also
it will not prevent him from inves
tigating timber cruising deals or
any other matter of interest to the
taxpayers of Crook county.
G. Springer,
County judge of Crook county.

Since January 1st, warrants to
the amount of $70,302.05 have been

rants, leaving a balance of $6125.09

sum of $10,706.67, making a total
of 16,832.06 registered warrants

"If the next turnover from the

county will be out of debt once
more, for a short time at least,"
said the county treasurer. "The
the lecture a reception was given
by the ladies of W. C. T. U. of
Prineville in the church parlors.
Dainty refreshments of punch and
wafers were served.
Saturday forenoon the meeting
was held at the Union church.
After the devotional the county
president called for the reports of
the different unions.
Mrs. Percival responded " for
Madras and told of the number of
meetings which were small on ac
count of revival services being held
ac me ainerent churches. She re
ported the Sunday School and L. T

condition and doing a good work
This union gave a reception for the
teachers and the public schools
There being no delegate from
tfietoiius the report sent in was
read by the county secretary. This
union has held several meetings and
most of the department work taken
up by it is flourishing. The union
also gave two or three parent and
teacher receptions at which they
served refreshments.
Grizzly, Terrebonne, Sisters, Laid-
law and Bend did not send either a
delegate or a written report of
their work. Redmond was repre
sented by Rev. Crenshaw. He re
ports that the union there is in a
very flourishing condition and that
the ladies were largely the ones
who were responsible for making
Redmond a cleaner and better town
Prineville has done a good work
in looking after the pool halls and
other civic work, while socially it
has been busy. This union has also
given two or three receptions for
their public school teachers. The
Prineville L. T. L. is doing a fine
work for the children. This union
has the honor of having the largest
number of members of any union in
the county.
Mrs. A. C. Thomson gave the re
port for Culver. This union has
helped four or five needy families
during the winter; helped to care
for the sick and has sent flowers to
the sick also. The L. T. L. is in a
flourishing condition and the S. T.
I. work has been taken up in the
public schools there. A goodly
number of meetings have been held
and they have a nice little sum of
money in the treasury.
After the reports several good
papers were read in connection with
the departments. Meetings were
held baturday evening and all day
Sunday. The convention was
closed Sunday night by a lecture by
Mrs. Unruh.
