A puny oi run roa (i mxuymvm anived at Shaniko Iuhi Tiuira day evening over flo CJolnnibla SoutJiorn railroud, and proceed to ouliii tlienisulveN for an inland trip, gave out thtf infor mation that tlny were liunded for tho Agency Plains country. where they win make their lieadnuai'tera for some tune to come. The party, including axe-men, will number about 20, and their arrival has given riai' to much railroad talk and pec illation ng to what in really in atoro for Central Oregon in tho way ol railroad building. The party ia in charge of a Mr. Graham, who, when inter viewed fit Shaniko by a Pioneer representative, gave out the in formation that ho expected to veach Madras with his party by tliia morning, and that as noon as possible he would emablish his camp at Madras, which would be his headquarters for somo time to come. lie stated that he wub in the employ of the Oregon Eastern. All of the baggage for the party and the freight which was sent in came addressed in care of tho "Ore gon Eastern." The Oregon Eastern Railway Company is the company which was organised in August, the incorporators of thp company, Colonel William Crooks, James Wilson and Henry Connor, all being ponnected with the flarri mnn lines in Portland, At the time (Ma company was organ ized it was given out tha; a new line was projected, to cross the state from east to west, connect ing Natron on thp Southern Pa cilia with Ontario on the Ore gon Short kine, and vhe tribu tary territory to bo tapped by branch lines to Agency plains, Lakeviow and Jlairiuti Palls. It was known at that time, from the personnel of the inporpora- tors, that the Oregon Eastern was a Harriman company, and that eavu color to thp rumor that the Columbia Southern ex tension had been abandoned. That is the situation at this time. There are many rumors of railr.oud building into Cen tral Oregon, many of them con tradictory. No ono seems will ing to even hazard a guess as to when or whence it will come. But anything that has a sem blance of activity in that direc tion looks mighty good to the people of this section, and Mr. Graham and his corps of en gineers may rest ussured that thoy will have "the freedom of the town." Thov are pitching camp today. While at Shaniko the engin eering party bought eleven horses, several wagons, and a quantity of supplies, and these, with the complete camping out lit shibped 1n, gave it an ap pearance of permaiionoy, PUBLIC LMDS REVSRT TO THE GOVERNMENT As a result bf tho larid-frahd trials in this state the traota bf pUblio land available for en trymen will be iiichjUsfed as the pi'opwtiM iaflvfett hre reooV- red nun the illegal holders and tho laud Ih relirfiied to the Kovi'rmiu'iit, It will then be thrown opmi for entry again, and may be led upon by bona llde claimants. The n)ethpd by which the govnrnni'ent gains control of the land is simpty, Civil suits are brought against tho men who li dd' the lundB illegally, and a short litigation is. necessary to cancel the patents, issued, re claim title arid' declare, forfeited the money 'paid" by tle entry men, ' ' In the c&aejiBt closed where in Y,,unson ftegner and Biggs were declared guilty of conspiracy to suborn peijury to acquire a part of tho lands of Crook county, no land will be returned to the government, as title never passed from Uncle Sam to the dummy entrymen. The inoney paid by tho entry man to the government for the various claims involved was re turned to thetp by the officials of The Dalles fcand Office, al though it wight have been de clared forfeited by the land oflice after tho olaims wern found to be fraudulent, The checks weie sent bnok, how ever, pending the investigation into the good intentions of the entrymen, and this resulted in the return of the land involved to the public domain. CROOK COyNTY'g EXHIBIT Cort Allen Couldn't Find It At the Exposition, llcnd Bulletin. C. B. Allen and family, of The Meadows, returned this wek from tho Portland exposition and through the Willamette valley. Mr. Allen was a close observer of the exposition and was much disappointed to find that Crook county was so poor ly represented, there. "What became of that $5000 we were told the ponnty court had appropriated to make a proper showing at this fair?" asked Mr. Allen. "We could have held our own with any of 'em and it would have been of the greatest advantage to us at this time, when all eyes are turned on Central Orpgon. HILL AS A FACTOR' ' " IN, deVelopmjent The I aau.nu ior ulB hlbit, and what do you suppose they told me? m YoU've eonie to the wrong place to find that,' they said. The Crook county exhibit is down in the federal court room.' "Jt was pretty galling, but I had to stand it. "I find thB beoDle over the , mountains do not look upon these land fraud prosecutions as so many do in this county All the way from Lincoln conn- ty to Portland and up the east side to the top of the mountains tho opinion prevails that Crook county is a pretty lawless com munity and must have severe treatment. There is no idea of persecution over there, tneir idea U only for justice. "Business is very dull every where but in Portland. The fair s a ctedit to the state. Every body looks for beneficial results to the rest of the state after the Hlr closes." C. Mi Keen, a banker from Portland, was in Madras several days during the atter part of the weeic, looKing over mis field with a view td investing. Although tr. Keep did not have nn oppoitunity to setf a creat deal of the territory surround- ing and tributary to this place, he was greatly pleased mw tvb.lt he dirt ste, arm exptessed the opinion that Madras had in it "the making of n good town." Mte was Very favorably impresseu rhu no uuum Qtcponlan. construction of a line i i i i i 'down tho WiOrth bank of the Co- ;lu;nbia rives is, a most impor tant undertaking, fraught with great results for the builders and the people, for there are so many interests tliat aje mutual between the people and the railroads that the prosperity of one is always largely depend ent on that of the other, It is not alone, however, in this, ex tension or diversion of the main line of the Northern Pacific, that Portland discerns an occa sion for rejoicing nstead, it is oecanse oi me entrance m Portland territory of a railroad man who is famed the world over for his policy of anticipat ing the future by building roads into new territory without wait ing for the limit of development to be reached before commenc ing construction. There was no wheat grown in much of the territory traversed by te Great Northern before that road was built. The reason was no se cret, for there were no facilities for hauling it out of the coun try. Mr. Hill, however, pushed his road across the praises, and as it advanced, the settlers wnom he hauled in one year, began sending out wheat a year or two later. They are still send ing out the wheat, and Mr. Hill is keeping them provided with proper facilities. His great road runs through a country where Nature has been less kind than she was in the Columbia-River Basin, and the mam line could not tap all of the traffic that could be handled even with a single track. To keep the rails bright along the mam line, Mr; Hill threw out feeders. Not 1 - is sparingly and at long distances apart, but every lew miles, wherever, in fact, it was possi ble to develop any new traffic, Between Crookston, Minn., and Granville 'N. D.. a distance of 207 miles, the Great Northern has 10 feeders running north and three or four running south These branch lines which lead out to the north vary in length from 5. to miles, and the ten of them have an aggregate mile age of 63P m Ies, or more than three times the mileage of the main line which they feed. This is the kind of a railroad bolicy of whioh Portland stands in sore need. There are vast regions of great natural rich ness in this Btate, whioh aye un developed by the people be cause they aie without trans portation facilities, and all pre vious efforts for relief from the railroad companies have been met with the answer that a rail road was not needed, because the Bottlers were too few in number. In other words, the railroad would not go in, be cause there wore no settlers, and the settlers oould not go in, be cause there are no railroads. The coming of Mr. Hill fore shadows a ohange in this polioy of restriction, and if the Great Northern magnate will give Portland and Portlatid territory the same facilities that he has given other points and other territory loss lavorecl by JNa tttre, the entire Columbia Iksin will very shortly bo booming along ou a high, wave or pros pority auoh as it liad never be fore kuownv we will Buy yQur Wneat X OUR NEW FALL GOODS ARE HERE Ladles' and Children's flats, Caps and Bonneta Buy a new Jacket.
