John Ilehnrhjji, .pioHldunt of
the Great jSputhern Railroad,
known as the Dufu,r road, is
quoted as Buying;, that lie will
extend hin road oh to ,B('hd, in
Crook c'ouniy) at once. Tin
road is just about completed to
Bufur, fiid the itumenae wheal
bolt lying around Dufur and
the Tygh Itidpo country is now
able to Bliip its product to mar
kot over tiio Great Southern.
For the pjist few wtleks all traitia
running ov'r tho road andtused
in construction have been load
ed with passengers and freight.
Dufur is in the cenier cf a large
wheat belt, but south of there is
said to bo largest and best
country tributary to the Great
Southern at Dufur. Still fur
ther south the Great Southern
would pass tlirough rich farm
ing hinds andi also open u i
rich timber belt, or make it pos
sible to open it up, before cross
ing tlio JDeacnntes nver on its
march to the Willow Greek
Basin.,
Mr. Iteimrlch states that
very short atop will bo made at
Dufur, and that work on the
road will bo pushed as rapidly
as is possible. It is stated that
tho right-of-way has already
been purchased for 25 miles
south of Dufur, and the reiuain
dor of tho right-of-way ib as
sured to the projnoters of the
road.
It is claimed that tho Des
chutes river route is tho easiest
into Central Oregon, and that
tlio maximum grade Cf thejhi
fur road up the Deschutes will
not exceed one and a half per
cont. Tho Groat Southern peo
ple express great confidence
that no other road can bo built
or operated into Central Oregon
as cheaply as their route.

COUNTY GROWING ftAPIDLY
Tfte Largest Increase- in Madras and
Bend Countries.
The returns of tho census just
completed by County Assessor
LaFollott shows that Crook
county is growing in population
at a rate not exceeded by any
other county in the state, the in
crease during the past five years
atnouutink to OR percent, of the
entire population. Jn 1000 tho
federal enumeration showed
Crook county to have a popula
tion of flflO'l, and the census just
completed shows nn increase' of
about two'thirds of tho entire
population of the county. "The
largest percentage of inoreaBe is
allow n in tho Madra's and Bend
seotiona' of Crook. Five 'years
ago Kutbher nnd Haystack pre
cincts were included under one
division that of Haystack, and
the population at that thmi was
850. Thfl recent census' shows
tho population of tho territory
formerly inoluded in Haystack
(npjUicAnded in Haystaok'and
tmlJ predlnct) to bo 1353nU

prsoinet ojf Bend, hare a. popu
lation of 477, an increase of over
2200 pfr cont.
While the census returns only
indicate that this increase has
occurred during tho past live
years, l he fact is that tho re
markable settlement of the ag
ricultural districts of the county
during Iho past two or three
years is responsible for the in
crease. In this section of tho
county, especially, the inilux of
settlers during that period has
been truly remarkable, and
nearly all of tho vacant govern
ment lands of any value have
been filed upon in that time.
While there is still a great deal
of vacant government land in
this end of the county, there is
little to bo found within live to
ten miles of Madras, und the in
crease in population throughout
the Willow Creek Basin ib due
to the fact that these settlers
aro residing upon their home
steads, and cultivating them.
The present census of the
county shows Itutcher (Madias)
precint to have a population of
020, and Haystack has a popu
laiion of 7U2.
THl BOtiY WAS NOT FOUND
Tho body of "Shorty" Davis,
the sheepman who disappeared
very mysteriously several years
ago, and the secret of whose dis
appearance was supposed to
have been revealed by Charles
Feuerhelm, was not found in
the well where Feuerhelm said
it had been thrown. Tho coun
tv authorities, actinc: upon the
information given by Feuer
helm, made a thordugh search
of tho ground but found noth
ing that bom. out the statements
of Feuerhelm.
The well into which the body
was reported to have been
thrown was dug over 20 years
ngo. It was idug to a depth of
GO feet and falling to find water,
was abandoned. During the
yeais since it was abandoned it
had been gradually filling in
with stone -and earth, and when
the investigation was made last
week it was necessary to take
out 25 feet of earth and stones
bwforo the bottom was reached.
After going down about six feet
in this debris, the bono3 of a
dog were found, and it was re
called by some who were famil
iar with tho circumstances, that
about five years before "Shorty"
Davis disappeared, a dog had
fallen in tho well and it had
been necessary to -kill him in
there as ho could not be gotten
out. i

SHERIFF SAM SMTH 'aND
DR. GESHER INDICTED
Tamper with Vyjtncsscs In William-
sori-Ocsncr-Blggs Case.
C. Sam Smith, sheriff p,f this
county, and Dr. Van Greener
were indicted by the lederal
grand jury at Portland last Fri
day, the indictment charging
them with tampering with wit'
nesses in the land fraud cases
against Williamson, Gesner.and
Biggs. It is specifically charged
that on August 17 Sheriff Smith
endeavored to influence Lark
Elliott and John S, "Watkins, of
Prine.ville, not to appear as. wit
nesses in the Williamson-Ges-nor-Biggs
case, and that the
sheriff offered to secure the ac
quittal of Elliott from an indict
ment in Crook county charging
him with tho larceny of a calf
and a hoise, if lie would not ap
pear. Smith, is reported to have
said to Elliott a, Prineville, "If
vou don't co down there and
do tho right thing, they'll cinch
you surer than hell tip here.
You know 'that I can handle
this jury here, andt I am the
only man who can." State
ments made by Gener are also
set forth in the indictment, one
made to Elliott being, "You do
the right thing and Pll see that
you get out of your trouble."
They are also charged with
having threatened Watson by
declaring that they would not
onl3' destroy his reputation for
veracity and injure him in his
business, but would in addition
"get even with him" in case he
testified against Williamson,
Gesner or Biggs.
BRICK BUILDING IN MADRAS
We have it on good authority
that a brick store building will
probably bo erected in Madras
within the next two or three
months. A gentleman who has
been in Madras for several
weeks, looking oveij the field
with a view to locating, informs
us that he has about concluded
to "pitch his tent" at this place
and that he expects to build, a
brick store building in Madras
unless some of his present
plans foil.
During the present week there
have been several strangers in
town, pricing business lots and
looking over the country tribu
tary to Madras. All those with
whom we have had an opportu
nity to talk express themselves
as much pleased with the out
look, and the prospects are good
for the starting of several new
businesses.in Madras within the
next few months.
