THURSDAY June 29, 1905 BETTER SERVICE REQUIRED. 'Madras needs a better mail service. Under the present ar ;rangement our out-going mails are usually delayed a day at Grizzly, the stage from this Tlace reaching there after the Shaniko stage liaa passed, and our incoming mails are delayed liatf a day by reason of the Touud a bout way in which they come. The trouble all arises from the fact that this office is -served through Grizzty, the hiai "being carried to that point on the Prineville stage, and then 'backed up" to this office, an additional haul of 25 miles. This office should -be served 'through Heisler, or some point in that neighborhood. This vvonld give us our mail in the forenoon, and would insure the -prompt arrival of mails from 'this place at the railroad point,; s the Madras stage always -reaches Heisler several hours! "before the stage for Shaniko passes there. One stage could liandle the mails both ways, 'the distance both ways of 34 wiles being an easy day's travel, while the Grizzly route requires two stages. mi. .t ;i ts :n : l J. lie oiiiini ivu 11 iiievii ui.wi J-oute was changed so as to omit the Antelope office and come by way of Cow Canyon, the de partment claiming that it was necessarj' "in the interest ol ood service". This same solic itude for the good service of the star routes should then T)e re lied upon to bring us prompt relief from the present bad state t)f affairs, as the Madras post- office serves one the most popu lous sections of Central Oregon Our rural free delivery, the only one in Central, is the best evi dence of the density of our population. Government mail contracts are let on July 1st, and as these matters have been presented to the department, it is likely that some action will be taken at that time. The creation of a new star route, from Heisler to this place, would solve the .problem. come ol the trial now lit pro gteB, Senator Mitchell will stand convicted iu public Qpin ion of the charges 'contained in the indictment The Salem (Journal and -other 'papers throughout the state. which have been loud-in-their -denunciation of District Attorney -lleney, Secretary,, tflitiflicodk, of the Inferior "Department,, . and in fact every one connected with the prosecution of the land frauds, claiming thatit is all a consuiraov to destroy the Mitchell machine, or that it is inspired by Hitchcock's et'uiity towards the state of Oregon, must surely now be silenced by the disclosures at the Mitchell trial. In the light of these dis closures it must snrely be ap parent how. urgent was the de mand for an investigation into public land matters in this state, in aid of. the administra tion's effort to purify the land service and put an end to the unscrupulous methods through which the people were being despoiled , of their pnblic domain. Mr. Conroy, of the Madras Milling & Mercantile Company, will begin soon on ihe construction of a large store building. The building is to be 36x74 feet in size, and will be occupied by the company's store. He is anxious to begin building at once, but is delayed by reason of his ina bility to get carpenters. Madras has never been through a "boom perjod,' but there has been a steady andl. healthy growth to the town, which is much better. The building which Mr. Conroy will be gin on in a few weeks Is only one of half a dozen large houses upon which con struction will be begun during the summer.

Mitchell has been on trial in the Federal tJourt at Portland during the past ten days, on the indictment charging him with having accepted fees for his ser vices before the land deparf Inentin ftiatt'ers In which the 'government had an interest and while he was a United States Senator. The testimony of Judge A. H. Tanner, one of the first witnesses-called by the, prosecution and former partner of Senator Mitchell, was most damning and showed beyond any doubt the Senator's prior knowledge of the 'fact that he was being paid for these ser vices before the laud depart ment. Objection wna made by the defense to the admission of Judge Tanner's tesiiuony on the ground that he was a self-con-fes&ed pei j nrer, but the objec tion was oVe'f-ruled by the Court. Even the fact, however, that. Judge Tanner had con fessed to' peijiuy committed tipou his first appearance, before the grand jury, could not wealc ven he force of his damaging Htnloment mtide tit the trial last tyeekv and whatever the out- 'aRIZZLY General Blacksmith and WagOri Maker HORSESHOEING A SPECIALTY All Work Guaranteed OREGON East End Clothing Store JOE COHEN, Prop.
