THURSDAY Dec, 28, J905 A successful and happy New Tear to the Pioneer readers. A slight fall of enow covered the ground Wednesday morning to a depth oi' about an inch. A little to late to give us a white phristmas. That Madras is a community of no small proportions was evi denced Monday night, when a "building that will seat nearly 500 persons was crowded to overflowing. Railroad news in conneption with Ceptral Oregon appears to o be more authentp every day, and it will be only a question of a few months before trains of pars are. taking the products of this 6eption to both Valley and Eastern markets. This inland it empire is experiencing a healtliy growth now, but trans portation will bring an era of prosperity heretofore unrivaled n this section. B. L. Eddy, the newly ap pointed Register of the Ros.e biirg tyncl office, had entered upon the discharge of his duties, and his appointment has been confirmed by the Senate. J. M. Lawrence of Bend, who has been appointed Receiver at that of fice, has not yet assumed the duties of his office, but it is understood that he will go to Roseburg wifhin a week or so. His appoinment Iijis not yet been confirmed by the Senate, but there is no doiibt that con fimatian will be had shortly af ter Congress reconvenes after the holidays, as there will be no fight made by Senator Fulton. The Christmas Festivities, One of the most pleasant and happy gatherings ever assembled in Madras was at the Christinas tree exercises on Satur day evening, The crowd was pre-eminently a juvenile one, and the bright and happy faces of the children were beaming with anticipation of the presents they were to receive, The programme was excellent, and it is seldom thai a gathering of children reflect more credit on their trainers and instruc tors than did the little ones taking part in these excercises, The songs and recita tions were well learned, and were given in a manner that could be heard and under stood over the whole room. The distribution of presents was what especially attracted the children, and the appearance of Santa Claus, impersonated by N. H. Pinkerton, was a signal for general expectation among the little ones Not one was forgotton, and there is np question but that their faith in Santa still lives. The tree was beautifully decorated with streamers and presents, of which there were an abundance. This was the largest gathering of the kind ever held in Madras, and will ever be remembered as a happy event by all ivho were present. OB1TURAY. Jumea A. Allen, a resident of this county for tbe past eight year, died ut his homu three and a half miles northwest of Huyoreek on December 0th, at the age of 45 yearn. He had been a autteier for some time from 93rlghL's dlpenue which aaaumod au acutoutnge lu the latter part of Norvm bur. Dr. T. A. Long of Madras and Dr. II. P. Belknup of PriiisvlIU at tended hi m during his lust IIIloia. Crossing the plains when a very Hinall boy, James A. A1Ib stttled with his parents in tbe little town of Walterville, In Laue county, whsre he resided until he moved to Crook oouu t y 1897. On July 20, 1882 he was mar ried to MUs Melissa KI. Goddard of AVultervlllo, and to this union Were born four children, two of whom, wjth 1 he bereaved wife, survive bin. Ills surviving childreu are Ralph B., rasld Jug with bis mother, and Mr. Waltor JC. Punish of Haycreclc. Deceased aj. bo Ietvee six sisters to moara als loss, Us to lows; Mrs. J. W.

J. K. Craig of Madrus, and the bod was lai't to rest lu Hay creek cemetery on Decqmber 12th. During the coming summer the body wll ho removed to tlio Camp Creek cemetery In Lane county, where the parents and two little daughters of the deceased have been laid to real in the family burial ground. Deceased, had many friends in this county, who will' loarn of his doath with sincere regret. A good friend, hud a kind tuul loving husband and father, his death has brought deep grief to all who knew nlm. Surveying for- Reservoirs, Bend Bulletin. Colonel Bmith and C. M. Mudd, of the Columbia Southern Iriigating Company, were out last week with two orows making surveys for reservoirs to relutorce the Irrigating system. In stead of going above tho headworks to impound water in tho mountains, this examination had In view the construc tion of reservoirs in the neighborhood ofTumalo postollice, one on the de pressed flat a little to tho eastward of Wimer'a and the other in a depression a short distance to the northwestward The plan contemplates delivery of water at these reservoirs when the Tumalo river shall be carrying a large volume. Then, when the river gets low, these reservoirs will feed the Ca nals. This plan is expected to do away with the necessity for enlarging the upper canaj. And the reservoirs are so near the lauds to be irrigated that there will be email loss in con vening it. A QUESTION OF MARKETS - 1 Mr. and Mrs. Henry windom, of Culver, were in the city Wed nesday, and returned home to day. Mr. windom is of the opinion thaj; unless some im provements is made in trans portation facilities within the next few year that the farmers who have been raising wheat will have to chauge to feeding cattle and hogs or some lund of product that is capable of furn ishing its own locomotion to market. Crook Co. Journal. , Jr. yindom has very accu ratelr stated a condition of affairs which confronts this en tire section of country. Owing to the very unusual drouth there was only a small crop of grain raised during the past season, and this it has been possible to dispose of although the prices were even then not entirely satisfactory. Hopes of a much better season are enter tained for next year and there has been a consequent increase in acreage under cultivation. Should the big crop materialize, the disposition of it is going to be a problem which can only be solved in the manner suggested by Mr. windom. Railroad ac tivity this year has stimulated the clearing and cultivation of land in this vicinity, and it is not without the bounds of possibil ity that by the time next seas on's crop is harvested railroad building will have begun, in which event there will be found some means of marketting and taking care of the season's crop. BEAVERS LIVE IN GROQK It has not been long since a newspaper story was going the rounds that beavers were ex tinct in Oregon or very nearly so. But if Crook may still pre sume to be a part of the state, she can furnish much evidence that there are still beavers at work in Oregou. Only last week the writer saw the beginning of a beaver dam in a slough on the Tom Sharp ranch X0 miles be low Prineville, and many trees thereabout wore out down or showed the fresh marks of beav era teeth. There are several colonies of beavers on the Des chutes river. One is only a short distance above the Big Meadows and the others are scattered along the river be tween there and Crane Prairie. The upper Deschutes country bears ample evidence thut thou sands of these busy "animals have in years past lived there and that the few score yet in ex istence are but a handful in comparison. Thero are tho re mains bf an old cabin in that region which tradition says was built by men in tho employ ol Hudson Bay Company long bo fore permanent settlements com menced in Oregon. Reavers are protected by a heavy penalty for their destruction. Crook County JjOurnaJ. There' is also quite a colony of these busy animals over on Shedik Creek on Warm Springs reservation. During the past summer and fail the writer, saw numerous "signs" Of beaver along this creek from its source to itsmouth,.treos from 2 to 0 in ches through having been cut off as smoothly as though with tin axe. The signs were fresh, too, in many instances the butt ol the tree which was cut by the beaver not having yet become discolored, and indicating thai beaver still inhabit tho streams in this section of the county.
