It Wasn't Railroad
Material After All
No, dear reader, the two car loads
of scrapers and the steam shovel and
other paraphernalia Chat were un
loaded at Metolius the last of the
week were not for the Metolius
Prineville Railroad. They looked
mighty good to people from Prine
ville who immediately jumped to
the conclusion that this was the
vanguard of railroad construction
work. The material belongs to the
state irrigation project and was only
temporarily left at Metolius. This
information may knock a great big
dent into your credulity, but keep
up courage. Mr. Scheel writes to
the railroad committee in Prineville
that he is in Spokane getting things
together and will be making the
dirt fly before the end of the month.
You can bank on that.
