It Ih reported that a iioallfve cnnclu hIoii will be refiched within tho next two week. The Interval will be spoilt by Oeheral Manager J. I'. O'Brien, W. W. Cotton, Uhlef Engineer Boflchko and U. I).

Mr. O'Urlun, when acked today de clined to con Armed the report. It In positively kuovrtl however, that these olllclala are making an oxhauallVu re- ! port on the territory deorlbed, and that they will leave early next Week to make a trip by wagon from Shunlko into Central Oregon. While ttio ofllolals will eay uothlng u to their (Hp .or llw object, the In veallgatlon will have but Jue rcsult tlie extension of the line aa condl tlona warrant a railroad through the great agrh-nltural and llvcaiuok sec tion lying between Shauiko uud Bend. A im generally known, the transpor tation commlnee of tho chamber of commerce, composed of L. A. Iewls, I chairman; Henry Hahn, T. D. Honey ( man, 8. M. Mcara, EdVvard Nuwhegln and Arthur II. DeVern haa had under coiuldeiatlon for some time the pro lem of obtaining for this statu In. creased transportation facIlltlL-n. While this committee hB In direct charge tho matter Involved, the move ment Ih participated In by nearly all the buHlueiM men and many of the property-holders of this city, Tho eonimlttffe has employed J. N. foul aw Ita legal advlnoh In April of this year the matter of building hew line waa taken up ith the general manager of live O. II. &. N. company and Bouthern raclllo In Ore gnu, feud since then there have been a number of consul tatlins and Inter views. The particular m altera taken up with the 0. ft. A N. company direct were the building of a road from some point In the Willamette valley through southeastern Oregon ant! adjacent ter ritory, a road from Portland or vicinity-to Tillamook, an exteuaiou of the road from Elgin to the Wallowa coun try, and the building of the Ripuriu cutoff to Lewlston. At the same time there waa taken up with Mr. Lytle, president of the Columbia Southern IVil I way company, the advisability of tho Immediate oxtonslou of that line 'from Shauiko to Send, An tho orftfmlttee was unable to get any dellnlle'feiHfljfan'ce from Mr. Lytle, Mr. Teal was directed to talio up the M. lanb General Blacksirilth and Wagon A(laker HORSESHOEING A SPECIALTY AllVbrHc atA1rhtteli (SHXN'AC6 OREGON ins. "Moo'i TH A.N'D HH0153 ' hlATH AN" vX't'S matter direct with Mr. Harrlman. Accordingly, on May 26, a telegram and letter were sent to Mr. Harrlman respecting the situation, and under date of June 8 a letter was received from William 1). Cornish, vice-president of the 0, ft. & N Co., advising the committee that an examination of the territory would be made, mid that aa soon aa the examination was com pleted and a conclusion readied, Gen eral Manager O'Brien would commun icate further'wlth the committee. It Is confidently believed that the iiiflpectlon about to be made will corrob orate reports heretofore had on thin country, Figures and estimates col lected by tliecommltteosllow that the cost of building the extension will not be excessive, and they feul that In urg ing Immediate construction of this line tlipy are really dolug a service to the railroad company. To sbardko for the first 70 tulles tho rod has been very profitable. The necessity for this road wa pointed out many years ago by W. II. Kennedy, for years chief engineer of the Union Pad lie and 0. II. & N, who stated that he bad more than once recommended its building. For some reason It is very dfllcult to get railroad managers to understand the physical coudil ions and characteris tics of this stale. In other state, un der like conditions, there has been no hesitancy In building, aud the commit tee hopes that the same policy res pecting this state will be Inaugurated. The distance from Bhanlko to Bend I ft about 100 miles, and from Blga to Bhanlko 70 miles. -The total length of (he Columbia Southern, If extended, would be 170 miles. The greater por tlou of the extension would be in Crook county. Crook county has immense natural resources, and needs ouly trans portation facllties to become very thickly populated. Its area is 7,750 square miles, or about 4,003,840 acres. It now produces from 5,000,000 to t,000,000 pounds of wool a year, has 2,400,000 acres of timber laud outside of the reserve on which is estimated to be glowing 10,577,000,000 feet of staudliig timber, and Is now producing farm products of $1,000,000 In value, aud livestock of about $1,760,000. Governor Chamberlain has issued a pro clamation naming June 4, 1906, as the time for holding the election on the re ferendum to the voters of the state of the $1,000 000 appropriation bill for which a petition of 6,312 ndmes has been filed with the secretary of state at Salem. The proclamation is in accordance with the law governing the referendum and is signed also by Secretary of State Dunbar. The petition held up the appropriations for the maintenance and improvement of 1 lie asylum for the insane, the penitentiary, the reform schools, . the state university, the agricultural college, the normal schools and the curreut expenses of the state government. I f the voters desire they may prevent payment of all items which were provided for in the bill, and pending the decision of the election, the state will issue evidences of indebtedness to provide for the carrying on of the jjovernment. Crook County Journal; On the 15th of this month a rural free delivery, the first in Crook county, will be established nt Madras. The route will be 20 miles in length and accommodate some 125 fam ilies south St M dras. .The Id iter place, by reason of the establishment of the rural route, enjoy quite a distinction, for it is quite an unusual proceeding on the part of the post oflice department to order rural free delivery from interior points. This instance, however, is an exception to the general rule, brought about by the special effort made by Representative Wdlia'riiVdn to have appreciable favor granted to his own couniy. While Madras Views with no little satisfaction ht establishment of the first rural route in the county, the latter ikewise has reason to feel elatcU tor, so far as known, Crook county Is the only so situafcdln the state to be provided with this Virid of government rhail service.

Bliss, O, T., June 14. An attempt was made between midnight and daylight Mon day to hold up a treasure party carrying $40,000 of receipts taken In at the show on the 101 ranch Sunday, by a party -.f .1 S t i 01 uesperaaoes, wno wouia nave succceaca but that an auto in which the treasure was carried from Miller Bros.' ranch to I'onca to be placed in a bank, outran the horses of the bandits. After the show the cashiers counted up the receipts and a large throng watched the handling of the money. George Miller, one of the proprietor of the ranch, noticed several men whom he knew to be desperate characters and later learned that a plxi hod been laid to hold up the train on which it was Intended to take the money to Ponca. This changed the plan and It was de cided to take the treasure in Or. Thomas' automobile, Dr, Thomas, ChafTeur Mac Gowan, George Miller and W, C. Maurice went alongas guards. When they reached Cowskin creek, four miles from here, half a dozen armed men rode from behind a clump of willows and made for the auto. Miller called to MacGown to put on speed and commenced firing in the direction of the robbers, Thomas and Maurice joined him while MacGowan crowded the power on the big machine. The robbers set up a yell, spurred their horses and began firing. But the ponies were no match for the auto, which outran them in less than a minute. On Tuesday of last week L. A. Young, P. 'V. Vlbbertand Vm. Brown hill Went to Prinovllle to interview the County Judge and County Com missioners In regard to the com pletion of the North Eud Qradcn and to find ddt Why the work waa beld up, the settlers and petitioners having finished their donation Work. They tell Us that, after having made an investigation they found that accord ing to the court records no report had been made to the court of the progress of work on this grade, consequently the court had uo olllclal knowledge of this matter and had taktin 110 action. These parties made report 'o the judge, but the commissioners being away the Judge was unable to act. The judge promised to take this matter Up soon as the commissioners returned-, and within a week or two at farthest work should resume On this grade oJT the big plain, The Boston Journal remarks that "the Lewis and Clark Fair hasn't a very romantic or attractive name." Ah, hasn't it? Now that is truly too bad. We should havo named it the Emerson and Aloott Fair, or the Sam, John, Joslah and John Quinoy Adams FHr, or T. Bailey Aldrlch andT.

His family was out of town and he went to the hotel and took a seat next to a stranger, and immediately proceeded to advertise his creed by telling the stranger that all meat was injurious, and that the human 'iftct should be strictly vegetarian. "But I seldom eat meat," replied the stranger. You just ordered eggs, insisted the vegetarian, and an egg is practically meat, because it eventually becomes a bird. "The kind of eggs I eat never becomes birds, sir;" answered the stranger quietly. "Good heavens," cried the vegetarian, "what kind of eggs do you cat?" "Principally soft boiled," said 'the stranger, Orders have been issued from Presi dent Goode's office that all buildings at the exposition, except the Trail attractions, remain open every Sunday between the hours of 12 noon and 6 pm.
