T'. fl i From tlio latest loformiitlon at band (here is a proupect of some of tlio de byed letter mail reaching Madras oij tlio firt dajH of next week. The Cornett Stage C.. will bring the letter mull from Shnniko, but the paper mail be brought in by freight teams as it ix too bulliy to bundle on the stage. How soon regular trains will bo run nlng into Shaniko caunot be stated The railroad people Bay jioislbly next .Monday, but- the probability is that ft will bo ut least u week anil possibly longer before trains are operated over the Columbia Houtheru line. Ah yet no effort bus been midc to repair the track of I lie Columbia Southern, as all the forces of workmen and construe ttoii equipments have been concen trated on the main line of the 0. It. & X. The dumage on the Columbia Southern is said to be very extensive. In one place it Is reported that where a Hhort tresfe formerly stood, a bridge over 100 feet long will have to be con structed, such was the havoc wrought oy the Hoods to the road bed. Other points are numerous where serious dnmiige also resulted. It is two weeks todaysince a piece of mail from the railroad reached Mad ras, and the news that next week may bring relief will be welcome to the Crook county people who have up to iho present borne the iucqnvenience without much complaint. weather iu the Madras district ug the past week has been f ucli that the buow has nearly all melted. with foggy days' and nights prevail lug uud no precipitation. There has been no cold weather, more than th slightest frost. The greater portion of the ubuormul snowfall and raiu has goue deep into the soil and the ground Is wet to a greater depth than it has been for the past 10 years. Conditions for a bumper crop could not be more propitious tbuu at present and uuless aoine extremely cold weather prevails btitweeu now and spriug the crops ediould jiejd an abundant harvest. But even with tevere cold the irraiu will not bo killed us it was lust winter by freeziug, because the preseuce of the moisture in the soil will draw the f . . . i. . . . . . . uav iruut iue uuy rootlets during a thaw nud the grain will uot sutler great damage. While the acreage of fall sown grniu iu this section Is not bo large as it wus lust year this will doubtless be ollset by the seeding of a largo acreage to spriug crops, which will bo eucour aged by the favorable prospect of a full yield. Many portions of the traveled roads n tills district ut present are appar ently bottomless, but such luconveul eucea are beiug bravely borne by the farmers, who eau cheerfully put up delayed muils and bud roads when their tieids huvo been bo bouutlfully supplied with moisture, the presence of which seems to be all that is re quired to unlooseu in the soil all the IT'S UP TO JUDGE BELL Culver Taxpayers Want Graft Money Returned to County WHAT STREET DID WHEN AT CULVER Neighbors Worked to Improve His Ranch, Then Homer Sells Out And Pockets The Cash Editor Pioneer: As several have been writing lately in regard to f he now county, we of Culver wish to say a few word. All we have to say is that If the tax. payers of the proposed county want the division and are willing to shoul der the expense, whose business is It. We are surely capable of looking after our own aflairs. And the people of Haystack precinct don't propose to be guided by the Rev. Homer Street. He Is too well known hereabouts, having lived here atone time. The people here have not for gotten the donation work done on his ranch, when the neighbors gathered in and grubbed sagebrush and fenced and plowed his land. Thou wbeu the improvements were made be sold them and pocketed the cash. 8o bla writings now have not ranch weight with us Haystackers. Judge Bell has acknowledged that the expenses of the delegation sent from Prinevilie two years ago to fight the creation of iStockmau county were paid out of Crook county funds be cause some of the citizens reauested t, and that he was one of the parties hat received part of the money. In asmuch as Judge Bell says that if it was wrong (wo are sorry we have a Judge that doesn't understand tho aw) ho would replaee U, now we. he taxpayers of this community, pro pose that the money be returned to he county funds with interest, and if uot, we propose that the expenses of the delegations sent from Madras-andj Bend to work for the new counties bo paid out of the county funds. We help raise these funds and expect to see that we have fair play when. we do happen to find out any of the "graft." And now for a question. Was it re ported In the county court proceedings wbeu that delegation was paid off? Several of my friends have request ed that I write this article for the Pio neer, and in doing sol havo voiced tho sentiments of a number of taxpayers- of this community. Mits. w. H. Peck. Culver, February 10, 1907. In regard to the question, about the matter of the expenses of the Prine vilie delegation being reported iu the county court proceedings, the Pioneer iihs uot Just now the means of ascer taining beyond qurstiou. but if m.m. ory is .not incorrect, we believe that It was reported, without explanation. among county bills allowed, simply stating, "Expense of county delega tion," atld Uamillf? tho nmnmu E a w ditor. vlements of great avalluble fertility.

Work can be done with it when land is too dry to plow with the ordinary plow. Land plowed repeatedly with the cutting share forms a hard pan on a level with the bottom of the furrow, through which moisture cannot easily pass into the subsoil, nor again be lifted into the rootbed by capillary action, The disc plow leaves a broken bottom in the furrow and does away with the necessity of sub soiling. Nothing but frozen ground need stop a disc plow in this district, They are made from the single disc size up to the large engine gangs. Call and get prices. J. W.. & M. A.
