Co. havo bought the Columbia Southern rallrond, and that thin being true, it h very doubtful -whether or not tho tetmlnus of that road will ever leavo Bhnnlko. Havo tho O. JR. & N, Co. really bought tho Columbia Southern? Wo havo been trying to find out the truth of tho mutter, but ao far nro unuble to confirm or deny tho report. However, ono of tho officials of tho road mentioned uald that ho had not been notified of any change In the ownornhlp of tho road, nor of any change in the management, that Mr. Ly tlu wag :iow In the East and until his return tho whole quentiou is liable to remain unsolved. In au intorviow with some of the Great Southerns officials relative to tho road reaching into tho Agency Plains country, It was said that there is no qucsf.lon but that this road will build Into the Deshcutes Valley via Duftir, Tygh JRIdgo', Badger Creek and Warm Spring lllver, thence up the Deschutes and on fo Bend, all thisbvor a grade not to exceed 2 per cent at any ono point, it Is denied by soniethatany rucIi grade can bo got, but one thing is Curtain tho Great Houl hern ought to be oncouiageil to build Into this field, it would give us an outlet at a good point aud one from where wo could al ways expect to get the lowest possible frefghtand passenger rates to tidewater, without bulng hampered by portage or other inconveniences for years to come, there will be suflioient business, bow ever, when developed, to give two roads all they can do. and therefore we hope to see both tbe'Oolumbia South ern and tho Great Southern build their lines through this country to our slater city Bond. Since writing the above, the follow Ing from The Dalles Chronicle is right in II tip, as stated in other Issues, The Pioneer would rather suffer a scoop occasionally than to be guilty of dis seminating news that is not true. "Upon his return from the East President Lylle announces that thoee meosley reporters are agaiu juggling with the truth, and that there la abso lutely nothing to tho report that be went East to make arrangements to sell tho Columbia Southern. He also ays there Is little doubt of Its exten sion In the near future, when Bend wilt be the terminus. The building of tho road (o Bend will more than dou ble the prepent length of the road, which Is TO milex, running from Biggs to Bhauiko. Tho distance which will bo covered from Bhaniko to Bend is 100 miles. Bend ia now growing rapid ly owing to extensive Irrigation works which aro being constructed there. m m The Lost Returned. Tho Pioneer evidently is wielding an influence for good; at least we hope it Is. In the last few weeks several thipgs have turned Up missing in the night a pair of stretchers, a door, and other things. The stretchers, door and the other things were advertised aa missing through the columns of The Pioneer and In due time were teported as "returning In the night." The parties wero all glnd to get the prop erty back, and wo sincerely hope for the benefit of 11 concerned that the next time anything is wanted the in tending borrower will ask for what he wauts before taking 1U 'It may save unpleasant thoughts and suspicions :hal might lead lo trouble for Innocent minded and aotihg people. New Store. MoTaggart & Byo are rushing work as fust as.posslble ou their new build ing. It will be one of the most im posing structures in town when finished.

In speaking of the killing of the sheep oh his sum mer range, near the head of Mill Creek, Mr. Cowlea said: About 2 o'clock In the afternoon of the 20th of September eight masked and armed men rode up to H. M. Share, who had charge of the sheep. The leader of the men said to Share that If be made a move they would shoot him; they then left two men to watch Share and tho other six rode around the sheep and commenced shooting into them and did not quit until they had killed eighty bead and wounded a few more; tbey then rode back to Share nnd told him to gather the sheep if be wanted to and then rode away. Mr. Cowlea says that he had no warning of the outrage. His sheep were grazing on government land, where they bad been herded for years post, and be supposed everything was satisfactory. Ho also says that there was unlimited range iu the Immediate vicitiity of the killing that had been lft by sheep men for the benefit of the cattle men and that the killing was absolutely unwarranted. An Enjoyable Visit, We acknowledge a pleasant visit at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Osborne, of Culver, last Sunday. Mr. Osborne is one ot the oldest settlers in the Haystack country, settling there In 1870. By thrift and industry Mr. and Mrs. Osborne have built up one of the best and most substantial farm homes in the country. This year, as for many years past, they have raised an abund ance of everything, including a fine supply of apples, pears and other kinds of fruit, aa well as vegetables, etc. When leaving Mrs. Osborne Insisted upon filling a good sized sack with apples that are as sound and perfect as it is possible for apples to be. We certainly did enjoy onr visit and hope to be permitted to renew the acquaint ance In the near future. A Model Missionary Father Hlckey Is agaVtt wttlrtls. He brought the sam smiling, helpful countenance along with him, making people glad to be fel.ive after having talked with him. We earnestly wish that more of our ministers would pattern after him. He Is entertaining, helpful, ovlal, kind and spiritual. May he live loug In the work. In Love With Madras. J. L. Drummoud, who arrived hero a short time ago from Waplnltla, has a'coepted the fato of the majority who come to Madras fell in love with the couutry, bought lots in the olty and noV'hhtl lumber on the ground fob a Bubeta'utlal residence.
