The Mason Construction company, which retains the contract for 25 miles of the lino between Portland and Bull Kun, will put on about 80b men and the railroad will be pushed through to the east limits of the city. , With the settlement, of the contro versy between the city and company over right of wayacross the Bull Itun pipe line of the water company, tiie railroad management is again preparing to go forward with its big project of building a very large power develop ment.on the Sandy river and an elec tric'standard gauge railroad from Port land to Mount Hood. A few private suits over rights of Way remain to be threshed out in the courts, but tiieso will not longer retard the construction of J.ho line. The route has nearly all been decided upon between Bull Run and the city limita, and by the time the graders reach any of . the indefinite points the line will have been located. Three routes are still under consideration im mediately east of the city. Machinery for the installation of 15,- 000 horsepower is now being received every week for the Mount Hood com pany's big electric power plant at Bull Bun postofiice. The water frorn the Sandy river is to bo utilized there to generate power. A vast -reservoir is be ing created on the plateau near Bull Kun pobtofike where the.company has purchased many hundreds of acres of land. The Sandy river's waters will be IhiI to this re?pJroir,- and thence dropped over the bluff into water wheels of the power plant that is beinc erected on the bank Of the Bull Huh riyerj which emp ties into the Sandy a few hundred yards below tho power plant. t, , The electric railroad will first be com pleted between the city. and the Bull Run power plant. Tho main liiie fol lowing the Bandy river canyon will then be taken up and tho road built on to ward Mount Hoodi it has been said on good authority that the company's in tention is to build the line through to Central Oregon, and possibly to Salt Lake. Engineers in the employ of the com pany for the last year have been survey ing through tho Cascade range to the eoutli of Mount Hood, and it is stated positively that they have found a pass giving the lino through the range a maximum grade of less than 2 per cent. this pisTHid Needs rAin-long dry spell And Cold Nights May Injure Crops Unless Moisture Soon Comes This section of The couutry would welcome u good soaking rain, and farmers from the districts lying arounii Madras report that grain is already bej gluuiug to sutler a little from the long drouth. Wheat sown on summer-fat. low land does not yet show tho efl'ects of the drotith) which is apparent prin cipally on the new laud. The Contin ued winds and the bold nights of the past two webkn have lius the effect of drylugoiit tho ground rapidly, and un less there is a good BouUiug ruin with in the next week crops will be dam aged. , . MThe long continued w(nds without tain are unuwuul weuthef conditions at thin Heasun, as tills Section usually counts upon heavy rains dilrlng,thd period of equinoctial disturbances In March, Othef factions throughout the Northwest httvetbeen havinrhavy rains, but there has been no preolpilty lion to speak of Hi Crook county for two months, - , . . No serious damage has beoiiidony yel, however and the farmers of tiro district itru.jtUU looking, forward to good Crops this season, It has boon almost an invariable rule in this see ttoti that tho long continued wlndo "blow up a rain" before they iuit' And a good rain now, with the Iiiti! Spring rains that maybe almost cef taiuly counted upon In the iatter part of May, would insure another big crop1 for this district. 162 HAVE REGISTERED BIG REPUBLICAN LEAD v Registration Proceeds Slowly -Books Closo April 7. Up until Tuesday aitcrnoon 102 voters' had registered in Kutcher precinct, anil of t!yil number a trifle over threefourthe were republicans. The registration b parties is as follows:' Republicans, 123 1 Democrats, 27; Socialists, 9; indepen dent, 3. Judge Brooks, wiio is the dep uty registrar for this precinct, says, thajj the registration is proceeding slowlv these days, although he knows there arq many voters in the precinct who hayp not yet registered. The registration1, books -will close at the countyseat on April 7th, and Judge Brooks says that these who have failed to register should come in and do-so at once, ih order that their registration blanks may be for; warded to the county clerk before that time. ( Reports from other sections of tht county indicate that the registration ir light in those precincts also. However', it is known that the population of tho county lias increased greatly in the past two years, by reason of the many hev tettlers who have moved in during tha period, and the total vote of the coiintj; in the approaching election should be milch larger than it was two years agoj Doubtless a large number ha;e beert putting off the rriatter of registering un til the last day's, and these will swell the total very rapidly in the next ten daye. OPENS PROHIBITION GAMPAICN The campaign for local option wao open in this end of the county last Sun day evening, when Dr. II. B. Hudson) field secretary of the International Rer form Bureau, delivered .an address'at the Free' Methodist church. , A argc audience turned out to .hear 'Dr. Hud-, son, who has just closed,, a, three weeks' canvass of Crook county in be half of local option.

At the. close of the address Sunday evening he stated that a Law and Ojder league was, being organized in this cburdy for the purpose of carrying on the Jjght fai;. .locaj option, and that the league desired to. raise $500 to carry on the work.
