Y"il'.- IfotTR Hound iTKK, ' ' Bate ;: MUGH4 RAHjpAj) TALK Oreat Activity Among Roads Headed tor Central Oregon Never before in the history of the state have there been mo many rumors of railroad bnild. ing to tap the rloh Central Ore gon territory, railroads from every direction being projected. Out of it all thero scema reason to believe that our transporta tion problem is to be solved. The corps of railroad engineers who have been i this vicinity I'or.the'paat week are unques tionably Harriman men, but whether their present work means the extension of the Co lumbia Southern, the coming of an East-and-West road from Natron on tho Southern Pacific or is merely a re-iocatotr ojtlie old righfc-ol way between this place and Bend, it is impossible to ascertain. During the time they have been here they have been following tip tho old Co lumbia Southern survey start ing back north of town at the base of the .Agency Plains and following around and across the western portion of the townaite. One (ftct if signennt; the par ty is outfitted for a stay of con siderable length; they have sev en large tents, all fitted with heating stores; they bought good horsesand wagons, and on Monday they received from the railroad terminus at Slmn- iko about 10,000 pounds of gro ceries and camp supplies. They state that they are going on south to J3end, and that their camp will be moved further south" in about ajveek. what ever the object of this survey, the engineering party which is making it has a moat substan tial appearance, and evidently ir is o "summer holiday" with them. In connection with the rumors of the building of a.road. from Natron across to Ontario, there Is much talk of the extension of the old Corvallis & Eastern, the road which has always ap peared to bo the most probable of all tho East-and-West lines. Engineers of the C. & E. have been in the Bend country gath ering data, and a corps of en gineers of this company are said to be working between Sisters and Cash Creek. Last week P. S. Gordon, the engineer in charge of tho Great Southern or Bufur road, and & Mr. Nelson, who had the con tract of building that road from Tho Dalle to Dufur spent sev eral days in this vicinity, al though they did not make their presence known. They stopped at the Ed Campbell ranch near the Deechute, and from there made recotmoitertag trips up aud down the Deeohutes; one up to the mouth of and hi tho canyon of Willow creek, and another down to the month of Trout creek. It is well known that the Great Southern has al ready let a contract for con struction work, about SO miles, south of its present terminus at Dttfnr. Aud the anhouaoetteut was made aotae time ago that they were going to build into Central Oregon by way of tho Agtttoy Plains and Bund. It seeki not unlikely that the Du-ful- mad is really a &11 line and that tint preeetiL great activity of the Harrlmah iutereets is due tt fc refcliKattoti of tbfct fact, aud i th taenat it hold for the ttar- rltann dotalniou In this territory Ofct&T it all surely notae relter ft the feettieft of this region empire in itself, compfTses. the largest area, of landf in the United Statea without a rail road. Within five yuara after railroad transportation ia hud it will be producing enough ton nage to put all of the roads now projected on a, paying basis, if they are built.

Although Crook county has one of the smallest exhibits in the Agricultural "building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, it has a very interesting display ol its products. It consists of displays of grains, grasses, wool and a doaen or more pictures. The photographs are devoted largely to the lnmbpr industry, which flourishes in Crook coun ty, and show the numerous streams of that seotion fairly choked with huge logs during the drives, whioh rival those of tno f orestry ouuaing in mw. Coming from Somewhere, llcml imUvtln, Central Oregon is just now the storm center of railroad activity in the Northwest. Tho line down tho north bank of the Co lumbia may be taken as an ac cepted fact, but the Central Or egon situation is very mucn un settled and large plans respect ing it may be ohanged over ninht Whftther we shall have an easland-wost line or a north- and-south line no man can yet toil Tr. nnfliiia as certain as anything in human, affairs that we snail nave one oi iuc umci soon, possibly both.

Williamson, Dr. yan Ges- tier and Marion E. Biggs, against whom a yerdiot of guilty was rendered, sonie weeks ago on a charge of conspiracy to suborn perjury. Congreiman Wil liamson and M. R. Biggs were each sentenced to 10 months imprisonment in the county jail and to pay a fine of $500. Dr. Gesner was sentenced to serve five- months in jail and pay a line of 1000, the court stating that the length, of his imprisonment was shortened on account of his age. A stay of execution was iestted by the Court, pehding the appeal which the defendants have taken. In pronouncing sentence upon Mr. Williamson, Judge Hunt said: "The time is now at hand when I must do my duty, pain ful as it is. Nothing that I raigh 8jiy at his ttne. could re mind you more forcibly than the occasion itself-mus of your sit uation. Your intelligence, your honorable public position and your own self-respect combine, I am sure, to impress upon you your grievous error. The cir cumstances of your case afford a striking warning to younger men who would preserve their careers free from that taint which should always and does sometimes follow the too preva lent belief that wfyat is wrong as against an individual may be countenanced as against the government itself. Bnt the law demands that this dangerous doctrine be suppressed and that public as well as private owner ship of lands be protected. The same good faith, honesty and fair dealing should pervade every dealing in the matter of public lands as should every puroha'se of private property, between man and man. This and this onlyno more, but no less. "The sentence of the Court is you shall be imprisoned for a period of 10 months and pay a fine of $500. "At the request of your coun sel, made by formal motion, the execution of this sentence is suspended, pending an appeal and such other matters as the law authorises as may be had in your behalf in the full pres ervation of your rights." A like sentence was imposed upon Marion R. Biggs. When the Court came to sentence Dr. Van Gesner, he saidt "I am satisfied from the evidence and from your own personal appear ance, Dr. Gesner, that any long iniDrisbnment would seriously impair your health and per haps endanger your ine. or this reason, and this only, I make a difference in your case, and the sentence is that yon be confined for five months and pay a fine or1000." -' Doa P.
