Mr. Crandall waa born in Renssalaer

The cradling of the grain for Mr.

talk as to whether or not Mr. Crandall,
who was past 79. could do the work, as
In the olden days he was one of the
best "cradlers" In the Northwest. The
pioneer promptly said he could do the
work and went out and cut the field,
nearly two acres, in a day and a half,

HILL CHENS RUSH
SOUTH OF MADRAS
Believed to Possess Surveys
Made for Central Oregon
Company.
WORK BEGINS AT BEND
Rumor That Rivals Plan to Place
Grading Force In Field - Spurs -Oregon
Trunk People to Se- ,
cure Vantage Points.
BEND, Or., Aug. 29. (Special.) Today
Hill crews began actual construction
work near Trail Crossing south of Ma
dras. From the fact that they are working
along old grade 'stakes there is every rea
son to believe that a recently-made survey
from Madras to Redmond hitherto the
property of certain Portland men. has
come into the possession of the Oregon
Trunk and will be used aa a link In Its
chain toward the south. Furthermore.
Hill surveying crews, one at Bend and
one near Odell. are engaged in continu
lrj the survey from Bend southward
along the Deschutes, with every indica
tion pointing to California as the ulti
mate goal.
At all events, doubt can no longer exist
that Madras as a terminal point has been
abandoned, though just how far the road
will be continued Is of course problem
matlcal for the present.
Yesterday morning a force of Hill
workers, about 30 In number, left Shaniko
at double quick time. Their destination
is -unknown. Their desire for haste was
proven readily enough by the rapidity
with which they left Shaniko for their
stopping point on the trail crossing
Crooked River near its junction with the
Deschutes, some 20 miles south of Madras.
The 53 heavy miles over hills and the
roughest of roads between there .and
Shaniko were put behind by the four
horse team In 15 hours. Even for anxious
railroaders, this Is a wonderful record. --
It was not until 2 o'clock this morning
that the weary road-makers reached the
crossing and pitched camp, and then their
rest was of short duration, for this morn
ing (Sunday) the crews were put to work
grading near Crooked River. It Is un
derstood that the haste of the Hill, men
is due to a rumor that a Harriman crew
is being equipped to Invade the same ter
ritory, yet. apparently the advantages to
be obtained by first occupancy are slight,
though it is maintained that at two places
the first-comer can secure a route con
siderably cheaper than the second. One
of these Is at the crossing of Crooked
River and the other near Davidson ranch
nine and a half miles north of Redmond.
where. It is understood, a second crew of
surveyors will be forced to circle a steep
hill at a level X feet higher than the
best grade obtainable.
To substantiate the belief that the Hill
men desired to put their brand on the
best route it is announced that tomor
row a second construction camp Is to
be put in at the Davidson ranch. During
the next few days 60 teams are expected
to reinforce these forerunners with all
the supplies and equipment of perma
nent camps.
The Oregon Trunk has no survey south
of Madras, yet the Hill crews suddenly
commenced construction work In the un
surveyed territory. The survey that al
ready exists lies between Madras and
Redmond, and as It is known that the
Hill men are working on the grade stakes
of this survey and that its maps are in
the possession of the Hill engineers, the
obvious conclusion is that It has been
purchased by the Oregon Trunk. The
survey In question is that of the Central
Oregon Railroad Company. It was made
about 14 months ago by the engineer of
the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Co.,
of Bend, and is the property of Poscoe
Howajd. A. F. Biles, B. J. Bulkly. and
F. S. Stanley, all of Portland. The fact
that Robert Ray, who engineered this
survey, is now at the head of the Hill
workers Is added certainty- that It is now
Hill property. .

VISION MAKES TOWN DIG
MEN, WOMEX AND CHILDREN OF
CASTELVEXERE, FANATICS.
They Neglect Work and Forget to
Eat in Their Enthusiasm to
Find Statue!
LONDON, Aug. 29. A dispatch from
Rome states that the inhabitants of the
village of Castelvenere, In the Province
of Benevento, have been seized with re
ligious fantatlclsm. Neglecting their
work and even their food, all the men,
women and children, despite the heat of
the sun are engaged in feverishly ex
cavating In the hope of the realization
of a miracle.
The collective fit of fervor originated
in 1S98, when a peasant named Macciotto
dreamed he saw the Virgin, who ordered
him to excavate in a certain locality un
til he found her image hidden there.
Macciotto disobeyed and a few days later
died suddenly. The widow, convinced
that her husband's death was a punish
ment by heaven, persuaded her friends
to undertake the excavations, which,
however, were fruitless.
Then the virgin appeared in a vision
to an old woman, bidding her continue
the excavations, predicting the dis
covery of a spring of water. The pre
diction was realized, as also a dream
that an Image of the Virgin would be
unearthed. The enthusiasm of the
villagers was unbounded, the spot was
hallowed, a shrine was built, and the
miraculous image was venerated
throughout the province.
There has been another vision. St
Anthony has appeared to two women
and ordered excavations to be made on
the same spot, announcing that a second
statue of the Virgin will be found. That
Is why the entire population of Castel
venere Is working hard day and night,
singing hymns and praying aloud.

was attacked in broad daylight, about
4 o'clock in the afternoon, by a short,
dark and dirty hobo who had been hiding
behind a billboard on a vacant lot, that
he knocked her down, took her purso
and fled, that she caught only a fleet
