Jt. i5 jn. surveyors will pass through Tho Da I lea on their way to DeschUtps and their advent into- Eastern Ore- con is moat important. We have heard much about a rail road into the Bend country, and it looks very much as though wo are about to have it, the 0. It. &. N. having a linger in the pie. The Doschutes Railway com pany has incorporated with a capital stock of 100,000.00, and if tho projected route following the Deschutes river is found to bo practicable, they promise to havo ISO miles of road, from tfib mouth of tho river to-Bend, completed in about a year. This road will be tho longest feeder the llarriman system has pushed into Central Oregon, For seventy .miles it will parallel the Columbia Southern, but will dntw freight from a section too far removed to bo served by that line. It will boar the same Arrive, relation to the main lino that tho Golumbla Southern and Condon and Hopbuor branches do, but will lo twice as long as eitlior of thoth. last drath bein that of Mrn Nellie Kiloy, an aged lady from walla Walia, who died at St Vincent's hospital in Portland Mil. . . . J ino investigation into the causee that led up to the faui wreck fail to show the slightest cause ol blame agaist tlio rail road companies, the acciden having resulted from one o those strange combinations o circumstances which sometimes occur and from which there seems to bo no escape. Neither the slight accident to the freight which necessitated the delay in tho Spokane train, nor tho burst pipe in the Overland train, would in itself,, have necessarily . .14. Jl . lummox in injury to anyone, but occurring at th same time they resulted in the doath of live persons and the injury of many others. NIUBT RESEED WHEAT. Because they improperly ap plied tho formaldehyde smut preventative solution JCo their seed wheat, several farmers will be compelled to reseod consider able of their fall sown grain. Tom Thompson Wqll reseed about 210 acres and h. L. Mann about 4G0 acres on this account Mr. Thompson, in speaking of the matter tjps morning, said that the formaldehyde solution for preventing, smut is a'l right if properly applied, but; he says that an improper application of it causes the death of the germ of the seed. If he Solution is allowed to soak into the wheat too long and the grain becomes too thoiougiy saturated with it and then particularly- if the grain is not drilled as soon as it win run through the drill, it is liable to damage the seed. Hut where the solution is only moderately applied and the feed drilled immediately afterward, that he is certain that it is an effective and harmless remedy. Tho Dalles Chronicle: J. II. Sherar wes in the city yester daj' and says' that he has sold all of his property along the Dochutes river to a syndicate of New York capitalist's for $7o,000. sale includes a hotel, bridge, toll roads and wa ter rights. Sherar U a pioneer of Eastern Oregon and has been n Wasco county since 1S01 and has lived at ShertV's bridge more than 30 years. A dispatch fron The Dalles to the Portland Journal says: A part' of engineers is at tho mouth of the Deschutes survey- nc a route, it is claimed, for an extension of the 0. K. & N. line to Bend, Crook county, which it. is said will be completed in one year. Leave, L Bit,. - i'0'1 Plly to ..

Mr. Loveland, who dis likes to see anything in the na ture of wasted energy, impro vised a hot-air calliope by plac ing a tin pail over, the drill-hole and then fitting a French bar) in the bottom of the bucket, and this instrument discoursed sweet music for the entertain ment of the crowds of Madras citizens who gathered to see the strange phenomenon. These "blowing wels" are pe culiar to this section of Central Oregon, several others having been struck in this locality whiln sinking for water. The cans' has so far been unexplained bi any one, further than that their is evidently connection between the crevice struck in sinking the well, and some large sub terranean cavern, and through it probably leading out again t- open air somewnerje along tn hills of the Deschutes liver. It has been known for manyj'eaix that the water from he uppei Deschutes escaped through crevices when the river rises n a certain height, coming out at some point lower down on thf river, and in this manner the fact that the pesohutes, rive-i rarely varies more than eighteei. inches between low and higl water marks has been accounted for. There inay be some con nection between this peculiarity of the river and the phenomena of the blowing wells. One pe culiarity of the blowing wells is that at times the air comes out in a stronr stream and at othei times it suckis in with eqna. force. Another pectUJavity of tli well at this place is that the air coming out of the shaft, is warm er than the air at the surface, and it has a peculiar odor, which Mr. Loveland thinks i that of petroleum. Indications of petroleum have been found in i number of places in this local -Xy- a.. AN ENVIABLE RECORD.

No other road it! the United States can show so clean a record for so long a period of operation, and it shows what careful and efficient man agement can do in safeguarding the welfare of the travelingpub lie. The record of the 0, R. & N.
