BASKET DIHHE$ sIrVED Alany Tcclicr Prpscnt fiom Differ' ent Portions of CquntyOcIN clous Spread Prepared by Ladles of tills Place and Vicinity. The eilucatiqnjil mooting hold at Madras last Saturday was one of the best ever hold in Crook county, both in attend ance and in the interest mani fesled. The gathering was called to order by County Sup erintendent C. B. Dinwiddie, who made a short talk on the aims and purposes of the meeting, and called forward 11. A. Ford, prosidentv and Miss Maudo, Kid der, secretary, of the Crook County Teachers' Association. The programme wan oponed with singing, after which M. 0. Mason gave an interesting and instructive talk on ''Oregon School Law Compared with the School Law of Eastern Stated." During his remarks Mr. Mason spoke of the small salary paid the propjt county school super intendent, about ?'10L' a year and advocated that it should be materially increased. This sug gestion was indorsed by ii. A. Ford, prinpipal of the Prineyille public school, who followed wiih an able address on "Rela tion of the Home to the School." Recitations were given by Miss Kidder, teacher in thePiineville school, and by Chloo Smith and Leo Mayes, pupils of the Mad ras Hchoo). Dinner came next, and that gency Plains and Haystack are not to be eclipsed by any other location in this panic ulaf was demonstrated beyond question last Saturday, by the sumptuous spread under the burden of whoso weight the ta bios literally groaned. A .song exorcise by the pupils of Mud Spring district, Mrs. Edith Brown, teacher, opened the programme in the afternoon and showed in their teacher an adept hand at the training of children. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and AJiss lsnani rendered some pleasing selectidns on their gui tars. p; C. Fulton, principal 6f the Madras school, gave' a talk on "Is Our School Course Crowded!" Professor Fill ton's subject Was' well" handled, nnd he shbwod that all branches of the school .bourse as laid out by the State Board of Education nro essential to a pupil's educa tion, and demonstrated that with proper application the course is not crowded. A. U. Strange, principal of the Crook comity high school, addressed the ttssooiution on "Benefits to Be Derived' from a High School ducation." His' remarks re ceived Undivided attention,'Pro- fussor Strange' showing himself Co be a pleasing "spVaker and c6nvlnoing ' hia11 htfarors that a ugh sollobl course is a matter which should botiiiidertaken by every pupil it possible, Miss Gruca Smith, of the ' Madras school, gave A jpaper on "Geog raphy, According to the Course of fitudv;' The subjeotj was' freatetfiwa thorough manner, fend Hhbwfcd h good understand- ig up'Mw this braitfh should be tftilit, "SohocjC Imm duf 01iildi4, ndTlttfte Efl'eoti oh th6 Mornl Life," was MADRAS, CROOK COUNTY. the subject of remarks by Rev Uraig and T, P.

The Post Office Department is now ask ing for bids :for the.transporta tion of the mail over the vari ous star routes, and the date set for all bids to be in at "Wash ington is December 5. So far there has been no bids submit ted on tho Laidlaw and Bend route and for two very good reasons. First, the present ser vice does not give satisfaction from the fact of the poor con nections with the through lines, the mail coming into Laidlaw lays in the office at Bend 24 hours, as the schedule requires the carrier to leave Bend just before ihe mail from Prineville is due; another reason why there has been no bids gone in from here is that every one real izes that there must be some change in the service soon, and it tne petitions tuat nave re cently gone in to the depart meat are considered favorably, it will do away with the Laid law and Bend route." a neimdOstry. Latdlntt Chronldld ' U. S. Cowles, of Madras, will sbon begin the1 erection of a dis tillery itt his place on the Des chutes about fiO miles' north of here. Part of tho equipment is now on the ground 'and work will soon begin on the building. Mr. Cowles has contemplated this move for some time, but owing to poor transportation facilities ho has hejd baok until some assurance was 'in evidence that a railroad would' be built Now that tho Great Southern is steadily pushing sjmth and will pass near his place this obsta cle is removed fend he will get his plant in operation as soon as'pdssible. i" The location chbsen by Mr. Cowled U all .thilt oould be de sired for a business of this kind yirig n.s. it does tin the banks of the Des'dHutes.triver from which ho water can' be easily con ducted to the building, tho'wa- e:r beihg sftft1,' of an even tern mritture .and always clear, makes' it first-class for distilling mirpoiie8.1 The looation is only aahol't diika'noe frqm any. part of the Agency Plains jijom which tho grain supply will be drawn'. , (,AMlrew lprrowas si bmintss visitor in Madras during the wk, i OREGON. THURSDAY, NlW RAlSolEADiD FOR CENTRAL OREGON Definite Announcement Made that Work will Start at Once. Itis stated as an absolute cer tainty that the fipancial inter ests behind 'the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company will build a railroad across the Cascades, through Central Ore gon into Lakp county,, and ulti mately to MalheUr coutlty to connect with one of the trans continental lines. This fact is announced by the treasurer of the company, who states that the surveys have been made, and that the money for the en terprise has been ee"cured. Although a number of sur veys have been made across thf Cascades, no location has been made as yet. It is stated on good authority, however, that the road will leave the Clacka mas river at a point near Esta cada, and will cross the range at some point other than the Clackamas river canyon. After crossing the mountains the road will pass through the Warm Spring Indian reservation, and on through this large wheat belt into Central Oregon. It is esti mated that the construction of 100 miles from Estacada will put the road into the very heart of Central Oregon. The O. W. P. company's line out to Estacada is an electric line, but the proposed line acrosssthe mountains and-into Central Oregon will be built as a steam line. Eventually, how ever, the road will be converted to an electric line, for which purpose it is stated mat tne company is'now securing water pbwer along the route. ' The announcement that the O. W. P. company i3 to build into Central Oregon bears out a prophecy which the writer heard made several years agq, when the company first extended its lines through Clackamas coun ty, that the line being built then was intended to ultimate!' strike through Central Oregon. The prophecy was made by one who has kept in pretty close touch with developments in Cen tral Oregon, and as the railroad situation clears the accuracy of his forecast seems certain. 3 SUGAR BEETS M SIFTERS Telegram. fl. B. Reed, who owns a ranch in Crook County, near the base of the Three Sisters, brought a sample of sugar beets to the city this week, to show what irriga tion will do for that industry. These beets contain 15 per cent of sugar and grow to a large size. Mr. Keed tmmcs oeetrais- ing will be a leading industry in Crook county when the land is placed under a system of irri cation. His ranch is 40 miles west of Prineville, and is with out railroad facilities, but it is expected that a line wttl Tae built in the near future. Mr. Reed rode on the stage for 100 miles rom his ranoh to Shaniko on coming out to his former homo at MoMinnvlllo. "In order t6 r'each McMinn- ville, 100 utile's away, we had to travel arduhd by the Columbia liver a distance of 500 miles," io said. , ., There .vyill be a dnnce in Madras p NewVeafs Niuht, the music to be furn- jhed by Sharp's Orchestra of Prineville. ickets will be $i, supper , tickets extra.
