27,000 ACRES FROM C. S
Token as Sure Sfgn that Rhllrorid will
Oo Unlit at Once-? Surveyors
Dolnir Cifcful Work.
A newly organized company,
of whioli H. P. Connor, J. B.
Wilson find W. It. liiJzenberg,
jill identified with tlieirrrinnin
railway interests, are the incor
porators, have Just taken over
ihojioldingfi of the Columbia
Southern irrigation Company.
This company Jook .up 27,000
lores of land on the west side
of the Deschutes, under the Ca
rey Act. The reclamation work
has been completed and a large
portion of tho land is already
sold. The purchase of this tract
by men connected with tho flar
riman system is construed as a
sure sign that the ilarrirnan interest.-
will build at once into
Cenual Oregon, although it
does not throw any light upon
the direction from which tho
ruflrouf will come. ,
Tho preaont corps of engin
eers who are operating in this
immediate flection of country
are unquestionably a Ilarrirnan
party., They picked up the old
.Columbia Southern survey at
this point, and are proceeding
southward, apparently doing
very careful location work. The
now survey in this vicinity fol
lows tho old survey very closely,
although in some places it leaves
u for several hundred yards or
more, evidently in search of a
better grade. Where the sur
vey crosses tho townsito, it fol
lows around tho base of the
hills just west of town, instead
of crossing east of tho flouring
mill where the old suivoy runs.
The fact that tho old survey was
taken up, at this point for cor
rection, iustead of beginning
back nearer the present termi
nus of the Colnlnbia Southern,
where the huavy work is, is con
strued by some to mean that
tho road will not bo extended
from Shaniko. I3ut, whether it
means that there will be an east
and wusi road into Central Ore
gon, with a branch running north
into this section, or whether it
moans that a Haniman lino will
come up tho Deschutes, on up
Willow Creek canyon to this
place, and then on south, no one
is able to venture more than a
guess, so little information has
leaked out from headquarters.

of tho deep snbjvs; so they con

They left New York on Au

mishaps have been somewhat
delayed, though they are still
making fairlv good time on
llieir transcontinental trip. In
Idaho they were delayed 10
days on account of a broken
crank. They will not tarry long
in Portland but will proceed at
once on their long tour, of which
7000 miles yet ivmain to be cov
ered, Prom Portland they will
go south through California, as
far as Los Angeles, then east
through Arizona and on to New
York, They are driving a Ko
Mountaineer touring car, made
by the original founder of the
Oldsmobile Company. It is
similar in appearance to the
Olds car owned by the Central
Oregon Transportation Com
pany. In addition to -their per
sonal luggage, Mr. Megargel
and his companion carry quite
a lot of articles which might be
come very necessary in case
they became stuck on some of
the bad roads over which they
must pass. Among other arti
cles which they carry for such
emergencies is a small windlass
and 12f feet of wire, for pulling
the machine out of holes in case
it should get stuck. However,
they expressed themselves as
very much pleased with those
portions of the Crook county
roads over which they had
passed, and especially the road
between this place and Prine
ville, which they, characterized
as ideal for auto travel. -

Crook Countjr Journal
After a lapse of 24 years, dur
ing which time neither heard
nor knew of the whereabouts
Of the other, A. R. Eastwood,
who has been engaged in the
lumber business in this county
for several years, received word
last week from n twin brother
in Porter, West Virginia, stat
ing that his father had died and
that Mr. Eastwood's share of
tho estate would amount to
20,000.
'I ho letter containing this in
formation had been directed by
mistake to another man named
Eastwood living in The Dalles,
the brother in Virginia having
instituted a search fcr his long
lost brother in Crook county,
with tho result that he found
whom he thought to be his
brother in tho above named
cilj'. Tho latter know of A. R.
Eastwood and immediately for
warded the loiter to this city
where it found its rightful
owner. An answer was written
at once and a correspondence
begun after a silence of two
dozen years.
Mr. Eastwood, in speaking of
the circumstance, said that he
ran away from his homo when
only 11 years of age, and tho
family having moved several
times sinc.o thou he had lost
trace of thorn. Tho tetter he re-'
ceivod a few days ago was the-
first intelligence ho had of his';
relatives for nearly a quarter of;
a century. '
' Tho money whioli has come
into his possession he intends
t"o give to his daughter when
sho becomes older and until
such time It will lomniii at in
YvreBf, Mr.. Eastwood .will go
East to IdoK after tho final set-
foment of the Gstatev out inviu

INCORPORATION POSTPONED
Pctitlon.of Citizens pf Madrtis Laid on
Voblc for o Months.
The petition of 49 citizens of
Madras, asking that the terri
tory described therein be incor
poratedwas "taken under ad
visement" by the county court
at its session last week, and will
uot,b acted .upon until the next
term of the court, whioli meets
in January, 1000. This action
was taken by the court because
certain persons, to whoso inter
est it doubtless is to have incor
poration defeated, represented
10 the court ,that a, number of
ihe signers upon tho petition
were not residents of the terri
tory described in the petition.
The court chose to accept this
ex, parte testimony on the sub
ject, gather than to take the
statements of the signers of the
petition, who represented, in the
petition that they are residents.
With very few exceptions the
signers of the petition are bona
fide residents of the territory
seeking to bo incorporated, and
th'se few exceptions were told
that if they so desired a state
ment would be sent to the court,
setting forth the fact that their
signatures were aKached to the
petition under a misunderstand
ing and asking that they be
stricken therefrom. It was im
possible to alter the petition or
list of signers after, the three
weeks publication was begun
here. However, three or four
names signed ito the petition in
thia maimer should not-in any
way have affected the validity
of the petition, as there were 49
names signed to the petition
and the law only requires that
there be 40 signers.
It is, of course, unfortunate
for the citizens of the town that
incorporation is delayed. There
are many improvements which
tho community needs, and no
movement to secure them be
can be set on foot until the in
corporation is secured and a
source of revenue assured. The
county court will take the mat
ter up at its next meeting in
January, 1906, and at that time,
when full 'proof ' of each
mail's citizenship will ' be had
by them, there is no doubt
that the petition will be granted.
SHEEP BEING DESTROYED
Coyotes are Menace to an Important
Industry.
Since the repeal of the scalp
bounty law, coyotes in Eastern
Oregon have become so numer
ous as to be one of the most se
rious matters with which the
sheepmen have to deal. Iu
fact, so serious has become the
situation with reference to the
depredations of these predatory
varmints, that the prosperity ot
one of the most important in
dustries of Eastern Oregon is
menaced.
. Last week a band of sheep
belonging to Charles Lister, a
Crook county stockman, were
crossing tho desert where the
Silver Lake road crosses the Cen
tral Oregon ditch of the D. I. &
Pi Co., w hen they were broken
into by a band of coyotes, and
next day when the band was
rounded up iiud tho sheep
counted.' ovurv 000 head1 were'
-,
misBing from "the band of 2400
hoid. The missing sheep were
doubtless run out onto the des
(irtj where they will be destroy
ed at will by tho coyotes. Only
about a. dozon onroawjes wore
