RESPECTFULLY, J, W. AND M A. ROBINSON AND CO; GENERAL MERCHANTS; MADRAS, OREGON W. F. Nelson, promoier and general manager of the Oregon Trunk Line, whose construc tion crew is now at work a short distance above the mouth of the Deschutes river on their railroad from the Columbia River to Madras, was in town sever.al days during tho early part of the week. Ife ws ac: companied by A. P. Cole, a prominent railroad engineer who was until runmtly con nectpd with thy Chicago, Mil waukee $5 Northwestern Rail road. They arrived here on Sunday afternoon, having driven over much of the territory from which the Nelson road expects to draw its tonnage, and on Tuesday they left for the coun try south, expecting to go as far as Bend. Mr. Nelson ex pressed himself as well pleased with the country over which he has passed, which shows up well in comparison with othei wheat sections which felt the effect of the hot winds of lust month. Mr. Nelson occupies a unique position among the railroad 4 1 nuiiaers who nave tneir eye on the Central Oregon country, in that while he has ' niiide few promises, he is the only one o t r s tiiein who uas so jar done an actual construction work. Shor on promises and long on actua performance, seems to be his dominat ing characteristic vv uen interviewed concerning their plans, and the date upon which they expected to have rhe Oregon Trunk Line built into Madras, Mr. iNeison was extremely reticent. "If we don't mako any promises", h said, "there won't be any to break." He stated, however that labor was hard to get now but that inside of oixty days he thought plenty of men would be available, and that by that time he expected to greatly inorease i he working force, Upon one point he was quite emphatic, aind that is that the Oregon Trunk Line will be built up the Desohutes to Madras, and that work will continue steadil to that end. Mr. Nelson and Mr. Cole I spent Monday out on the line between Madras and the mouth of Willow Creek conre. re turning m the afternoon and spending some time looking over ihe territory immediately sur rounding Madras, EXHIBIT OF PRODUCTS FINE SPECIMENS SHOWN AT PRINEVILLE Grains Grown In The Willow Creek Bas'n Moke A Good Showing For Crook County. i HOI), WILL GROW APPLES AT BEND J. 0. Johnston, a member of the Deschutes Irriiration & rower uompnny, wno owns about 1000 acres of imitated land near Bend, is planning tp plant one of the largest or ohards in the state on this farm. He will plant about GOO acres to apples, next Spring the varie ties to be selected especially wilh reference to their keeping i qualities, as the apples will be rown for the export trade. Oregon apples are famous the world over, and Mr. Johnston believes that the apples: to be prodiced.at Bend will add to I that reputation. There tiro k number ot small orchards there now, all of Which are doing ire markably wellt j There is on exhibition in the telephone oflice some line ex hibits of what Crook county can produce in an olf year. The hot weather this season has been very hard on crops, but notwithstanding its effects the showing made is a great eur priae. v A sample of Little -Glub wheat from, the Palmefinlce on Willow creek shows ajuex cellent grade of wheat. It is clean, bright antt plurrip. The hot weather does iiot seem to have materially affected this' siand of grain. Some good samples of oats, barley, beardless barley, etc. were taken from.the Ed Holmes place six miles east of Madras. Grain is by no means a failure, on his place. Rye is an excellent' crop iu Crook county this year. Sam ples seven feet, high with heads, six inches long are on exhibi tion, The heads are fully de veloped. The kernels am plunip and clean. Pour stools, were taken from one field with? out any special effort to pick the best, and when the stalks, were counted ihe laigest stoo had 108 and the smallest 90. . These were all taken from Rob ert Barnett's place near Culver. Bunch grass from the Draper claim near Lamonta makes at good showing. The samples measure thirty-two inches in height. The lield from which it was taken was pastured off in April so the growth shown by the samples has been phtj nominal. Some fine alfalfa from Henry Windom's place in the Hay- stack country is shown. One stool between three mid four feet high contains 183 stalks. This was its first year and it was raised from volunteer seed. Another stool measured five and one-half feet in height but did not contain near as many stalKs. All this, mind you, was done without ii ligation. Bring in your samples, peo. pie of Crook county, so that youi neighbor may know what you are doing. Leave them ac the telephone oflice and Mr. Summers will take pleasure in making as atuactive display as is possible with the sample on liana. These exhibits will help you, h I) your neighbor and help the count' at Targe, Strangers visaing Prinevillo cannot hetp but be favorably impressed with a ood showiue of what Crouk conntv ban produce.

WATER FLOW INCREASED A larger and better flow of water was struck in the Isham well, last week, than has been encountered in it heretofore at any time, and on Monday moru- ng work could not be resumed, n the well for the reason that it was impossible to pump it dry. I his is the largest well in tho ouniry, being fully 12 feet across the bottom and about 85 eet deep, Mr, Isham has been sinking his well deeper just as rapidly as he could, m order that he might secure an inex- mitritible supply of water for He patrons or his well, auu tntf atest flow of water looks moW encoura trim: than uuv that by has itruok before this , V-.. ,1
