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,

As a result bf tho larid-frahd

thrown opmi for entry again,
and may be led upon by bona

The n)ethpd by which the
govnrnni'ent gains control of the
land is simpty, Civil suits are
brought against tho men who

short litigation is. necessary to

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.

All the way from Lincoln conn-

"Business is very dull every

to the rest of the state after the

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
