MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA
A few of tho reasons why bo many are
joining the Jlouern Woodmen of Amen
ca:
Wo have OCO.000 members with 20.000
outstanding certificates, which ih far
inoro than the two next largest Societies
combined.
Three assessments missed the first ten
months of Una year: all claims nam am:
$3,000,000 cash on hand.
First eight months of this year we
lssueu 100,12 new certihcates.
There are 175 of the leading Fraterna
insurance societies that have six million
members at the present time. The
Modern Woodmen have nearly one-sixth
of this entire membership.
There are six billion four hundred and
fifty million dollars of protection for the
widows and orphans carried bV the
members of these societies.
The M. W. A. carries One Billion
ThreIIundred nnd Fifty Million of this
amount, or a little more than one-sixth
of all tho. fraternal insurance- carried in
tho United States
Tho management expense of thiscreat
order has cost each member not to
exceed the price of one postage Btamp
per week since starting in business.

ML HOOD ROAD TO
SPEND $15,000,000
Company Is Building Fine
( Line To Mt. Hood
PRESIDENT CLARK TjlLKS OF EXTENSION
Probably Will Extend Serosa Central
Oregon A Problem For
Tho Futu,ro.
Declaring that the Mt. Hood IJaihvay
company will Hpend $15,000,000 on its
railway and power plant, and that this
sum will be spent within the next five
years, President Clarke of that company
also refers to the probability of the fu
ture extension of that line across Ccn
tral Oregon. In an interview in one of
the Portland papers he says that the
road will be built on such substantial
lines that it can be extended when de
Velopment warrants it. The line will
bo constructed of heavy steel, and will
be of standard steam railroad construe-'
tiop throughout. It wjll hfjve an aver
age grade of less than one per cerjt, with
a curvature sp slight that a high speed
can bo attained. The rolling stock will
be p.f the most mpdern type.
Mr. Clark says: "Wc have been
careful in all pur plans no, to take any
steps that would bring us up against a
brick wall anif prevent us from making
such extensions as you suggest. At the
same time the rumors that our line was
the first link in a Central Oregon system
were preinature. Our future plans will
depend entirely upon developments
Our line, I will say, should ultimately
mean a great deal to an extensive and
rich territory not yet developed.
The Mount Hood road will enter Port
land by one of. two proposed routes, one
of them lying north and the other soutl
of Mount Tabor. Options aro being se
cured for both, and the one that pre
sents the most favorable opportunities
will bo tho one selected. We will Eecure
what private right of way we can in the
city and nsk for franchises from the
Citv Council for the rest. Wei have al
ready secured about seven-eighths of
the right-of-wny property needed, and
we are securing the rest as rapidly as
we can."
KUTCHER IS BANNER
REPUBLICAN PRECINCT
Has Big Leao' Over Other Precincts
of County In Republican
Registration.
Kutcher precinct, of which Madras is
the voting place, is the banner KepubU
enn precinct of the county. While
Prinevillo leads it by a few votes in the
total registration, Kutcher litis a larger
number of ltopublican votes. Up until
ruesday evening of last week, the total
registration ot tlio county was llHo, ol
rhich number 777 were republicans, 372
leuiocrnts, 53 socialists and the remain
ler prohibition and independent.
According to the registration Prine-
ville is the largest precinct in the coun
ty, tho total registration there being
101, of which 01 were republicans, 91
democrats, 4 socialists and '2 indepen
dent. Kutcher comes next with a total
of 153 registered, of which 123 wero re
publicans, 21 democrats, 5 (socialists, 1
prohibition and 3 independent. Red
mond was next with a total of 87, of
which CO aro republicans, nnd Black
Butto next with a total of 78 of which
37 arc republicans. Tho falling off of
tho vote in Kutcher precinct is due m
part to tho creation of tho now precinct
of Lylo Gap, whore there were already
32 registered when theso figures were
taken. There will bo some changes in
these figures beforo tho final totals aro
made up, as n number of voters havo
waited until tho last days to register.
Registration closes Tuesday.

FARMERS' TRAIN

ngri ultural college, aj, Pullman,, and
General Freight Agent P. B. Miller, p(j
the O. It. & J and it is thought tncrjj j'fj
no doubt about ithe arrangements berjg
made.
It is possible that Umatilla copnty,
farmers will request farming experts,
from Oregon Agricultural college to joirj
in tho movement, and have the train,
run into Umatilja and possibly Morrow
coupty for a course of lectures on dry
fanning, anti-summer fallow and deep,
plowing. East Oregonian.
TWO NEW CHURCH BUILDINGS'
The lumber is being placed upon lhq
ground for the new Methqdist churcl
buildirjg, aqd wjthin a few days con,;
struction of the building wjl begin. Thq
new building is to be a conimodjbus an)
comfortable one, largo enough to. ap:
comm,odate the present membership,,
with ample provisiqn fqr the growth q
the congregation in the future. Jt wijj
aUo be conveniently located, the lo
u,pon which the building is q be erected
being a corner lot just back of the Meth;
odist parsonage, three blocks frqm the,
Main street of the town.
Plans fqr the construction of the pev
Christian church building at this pjace,
are also progressing rapidly, The b'ulld
ing committee has splect&l a corner lq
one blpck east of the Loucks furniture
store, which is a very central and con-,
veniept location, and which lot yiJ
doubtless be deeded to them by ibn
townsite company. They have algq qri
dered their lumber, which will soqn bp
placed on tho ground and cqnstructiqi
started within a week or bo. The buiJcjV
ing will be 0 by 50, feet in dirqeneiqns.

i
TOTAL OF 195 VOTERS REGISTERED,
Registration pf yotprs in Kutcher prei
cinct closed last Monday evening with a, '
total of 105 registered, Of these practit
cally 75 per cent are republicans, witty
the balance divided among the demo?
crats, socialists and independents. Tho
registration by parties was as follows ?
Republican 143, Democratic 36, Social
ist 11, Independent 5.
The registration in this precinct is
about 50 short of the number registered,
two years ago, which is explained by
the creation of the new votinc nrecinct ' '
.of Lyle Gap, takipg in the nprtli end nf
Agency Plains, and where the registra
tion will doubtless reach about 50.
Kutcher still leads all other precncta in
the county, however, in republican
votes, so that the vote of this precinct
in the primaries will have an important
hearing upon the nomination of the re
publican candidates for tho various
county ofiice3 to be filled,
SECOND HOMESTEAD ENTRIES

CONTEST OVER SCHOOL-SITE
A meeting was held at Youngs Inst
Saturday for thu purpose of organiz
ing a new school district, and from re
ports that came from there tho first or
the week, tho meeting was a stormy
one. The principal contest centered
in tho selection of a site for the school
building, residents of tho Youngs
neighborhood desiring tho school
house to bo there, wliilo residents ot
the MHithern end of the district desired
the building to bo further bouUi. Tho
mutter was finally put to n vote, and
the majority favored the building of
the school hotiso on the corner of tho
Fred Stollker truot, about onq mile
south of Youngs. Mueh dissatisfac
