other location in this panic

bios literally groaned.
A .song exorcise by the pupils
of Mud Spring district, Mrs.

LAIDLAW DESI'S CHANGE
Commenting on an article
which appeared in this paper,
advocating a change in the mai
service so as to extend the Heis
ler-Madras route on through to
Bend, by way of Haystack, Cul
ver, Lamonta, Forest, Redmond
and Laidlaw, the Chronicle, pub
liajied at tho last named place
says:
"The above meets with the
approval of the people in this
locality and there is certainly
nc reason why it could not be
put through if taken up through
the proper channels. 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."

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.
