We iln net kivw whether or not
there was any connection between
the visit of the railroad men ami a
cloudburst that struck just tliiH side
of KuhscII'h plaeo lute in the after

change atmospheric conditions, hut
we ln not know what took plaeo at

out some bridges and culverts.
Work Has Not Stopped
on Mitchell Road
VVlien the teams at work on .i
rrineville-Mitchell road were laid
off leeently the impression got
abroad that work on the road had
stopped for lack of fundi. Super
visor Hons inform um that this is
not the ease. The teams were laid
off during harvest but will begin
work about September 1st. A
small crew of men are now at work
clearing the right-of-way of all
trees and stumps and rock on the
north side preparatory to grading
in the early fall.
Wheeler county has paid its share
of the contribution to the funds ap
propriated for the road and there is
nothing now in the way of eventu
ally connecting Prineville and the
Mitchell country with a good highway.

Orefeon will be set In motion all
over tho world as a result of a visit
to the atate by Ralph R. Earle, repro
ontliiK Pathe's weekly, a motion pic
ture record of eventa whlct Is seen
each week In picture houses through
out the V nlicd glutei and European
countries by more than 20,000,000
people.
It was with the cooperation of Louis
W. Hill, chairman of the board of
director ot the Great Northern rail
way and William llanlpy. of Hums,
OreKon. that the motion picture man
was enabled to aecure some very re
markable views of Central Oregon
aKrlrultural and industrial scenes.
Making the trip Into Hend over the
Oreiion Trunk railroad, the Hill line
that has 0iened up the great Central
Oregon country, tho motion picture
man was taken to Burns, in Harney
county, by automobile a distance of
l.0 miles. For a week the Pathe re
presentative toured Harney county
covering more than l.Qfto miles by au
tomobile to secure Alms that will
show to the world the openings for
homeswkera on the free government
lands of Oregon.
While a visitor on the Double 0
ranrh, owned by Hanley, more than
2,000 head of cattle were rounded up
for the pictures. Motion picture pano
ramas will show the extent of the
great valleys of Central Oregon and
the Blltzen canal, ust completed by
Hanley through the TUitzen valley.
This big irrigation ditch, formed by
ihe waters of the Blltzen river, drains
more than 100.004 acres of land and
is forty miles long. The pictures
will show tho hog and sheep indus
try, homeseekers coming Into the
country, the sage brush land before
and after the arrival of the home
seeker and generally give a truthful
picture of the opportunities and pos
sibilities of Central Oregon.
Louis W. Hill is one of the fore
most of Northwest developers and be
lieves in the motion picture to give
wide-spread publicity to what Oregon
has to offer to newcomers.
The Pathe people have also secured
a reel showing the scenery of the Des
chutes canyon where the Hill lines
expended an enormous sum of money
to build the Oregon Trunk railroad
into the Central part of the state. The
pictures secured by the Pathe people
are the first of the kind ever taken In
Oregon and will be shown in the lead
ing motion picture theaters all over
the world.

What Happened to
Mary at the Lyric
During the last twelve months
the Ladits' World Magazine and
the Edison Film Company have pub
I shed and produced in collaboration'
a series of stories and pictures, each
installment complete in itself, en
titled "What Happened to Mary,"

The Lyric Theatre has arranged
to show the entire complete series
of twelve reels, one reel each week,
the first chapter of which, entitled
"The Escape from Bondage," will
be shown next Monday and Tues
day. In this chapter we are intro
duced to "Mary," who, learning
that her parentage is unknown, de
termines to leave the home of her
cruel foster parents and make her
own way in the world.
As this set of pictures has proven
exceptionally interesting to ladies in
other places the management an
nounces that a hot weather souvenir
will be given to each lady attending
the first of the "Mary" series next
Monday and Tuesday evening.
