Plan To Havo Construction Be

PLANS FOR ROAD TAK
ING DEFINITE FORM
Control Orsgpn Railroad Plan Fro
gresslng-rHopo Qf A Road
May Bo Realized,
The plana for the construction of a
railroad from Shaniko to Madras, and
on to Bend and Prinevillc, arc rapidly
assuming form, and as the work of evol
ving a definite working plan out of the
transportation situation in Crook coun
ty progrespes, ihc hope grows that Cen
tral Oiegon's dream of a railroad will be
realized in the very near future. That
the people of Crook county aro ready to
co-operate in any movement to give
them rail transportation is evidenced by
the unanimity with which those who
have been approached on the subject
express their willingness to help, and
with the Portland business interests in
a friendly attitude towards any project
which promises to open up the Central
Oregon field to them, the plan for the
extension of the Columbia Southern
railroad (teems sure of success.
Another meeting of the committee
was held at I'rineville last week, at
which time the matter of opening up a
subscription list was discussed. The
final details of tho plan have not been
decided upon, but it was practically
agreed to ask the people of Crook coun
ty to subscribe to tho preferred stock of
the company, payment to be made in
labor, materials, supplies or cash. In
this immediate section it is probable
that payment in grain will be piovidcd
for. The preferred stock will be in
shares of a par value of $100, with 7 per
cent dividends guaranteed, the stock to
be redeemable by tho company at 105
with accrued dividends, Pnyment for
the stock will be asked in two instal
ments, and it will bo arranged in the
most convenient manner for the sub
scriber, consistent with a working basis
upon which construction can bo carried
forward. This is a general outline of
the plan, the details of which will be
finally determined upon in a few days,
so that the subscription can bo started.
As soon as sufficient responses have been
secured to guarantee tho success of the
project, construction work will be begun
and pushed rapidly to completion.
This week the company's right-of-way
man, Mr. U. A. Wynn, is securing the
right of way between this place and La-
monta, Fraiik Osborn went to Lainonta
last Monday to meet Mr. Wynn, to go
over tho proposed line with him, and
upon his return Tuesday evening ho
stated that tho people of the Culver and
Lamonta districts were exhibiting a
ery friendly spirit toward the enter
prise and that no troublo would be expe
rienced in securing tho right-of-way. In
fact, tho people of that locality will
assist in ovcry way they can m the
movement to extend the railroad. Mr.
Osborn says that Mr. Wynn is confident
tho road .will bo built at once. Tho rail
road will be extended along tho old sur
vey of tho Columbia Southern, through
tho Lylo and Brown gap and on to Mad
ras, on South from hero through the
Culver and Lamonta districts to O'Neil,
from which point ono branch will go up
Crooked Itiver to Prinevillc, wjulfe an
other branch will go to Bend.
Tho old survey out of Shaniko camo
down Ward's Creek, but it is said an
other route is being looked over, by way
of Antelope, and ttio roau may come
that way. Mr. C. M. Rcdfiold, chief
engineer for tho D. I. & P. Co., went
over both proposed routes laBt week and
also spout eoveral days between Trout
Creek and Antolopo, looking after right-
of-way matters. Ho and Mr. Howard,
tho general manager of tho Deschutes
company, aro devoting tholr time and
energies to working out tho financial
and engineering details of Urn proposed
extension, and both of them aro confi
dent of tho sllcceHs of tho undertaking.

MADRAS VERY "DRY"--"DROUTH"
DEPRESSING
Saloon Closed Yesterday Morning
The Prlco Of Water Is Not
Raised.
Madras is dry, Not "a drop o' kind
ness" can be had in the village, save on
the prescription of a practicing physi
cian, and some of the old stagers are de
claring that this ''drouth" is the worst
thing they have seen since the grass
hopper plague. And so it haB come to
pass that water is being used as a bev
erage in Crook county. Co-incident
with tho closing of the saloon, the pro
prietor of tho public water station an
nounces that he will not raise the price
of water, and some relief is obtained
from that announcement.
M. L. Loucks proprietor of the only
saloon in Madras, closed the doors of his
establishment last Tuesday evening, as
tho prohibition law went into effect on
Wednesday. The door of the building
bears a placard saying "Murdered by
tho prohiB." On one of the front win
dows is another placard bearing the
lines:
"Hugh, little bar-room, ilon't you cry ;
You'll be a drugstore, bye and bye."

PROFESSOR W. R. COOK
-MISS CLARA HORNEY
To Whom It May Concern:
In order that none may be Ignorant
of the provisions of the law regarding
the disposition of liquor in prohibition
territory, the Law and Order League
authorizes publication of the follow
ing excerpts from the local optiou law:
Sec. 2, provides that alcoholic stim
ulants may be sold as medicine in cane
of actual sickness, "but such stimu
lants shall only be sold upon the writ
ten prescription of a regular practicing
physician, dated and signed by him,
and certified, on his honor, that he,
the physician, has personally exam
ined the applicnut, naming him, and
that he finds him actually sick and In
need of tho stimulant prescribed as
medloiue; Provided, that a physi-
oiau who does not follow the practice
of medicine as a usual and principal
calling shall not be authorized to give
the prescription provided for in this
section; AND PROVIDED FUltTHKK,
that no persou shall be permitted to
sell more than once on the prescrip
tion, nor shall any person be permit
ted to sell at all on the prescription of
a physician not herein authorized 10
give it nor on a prescription which is
not dated, signed and certified us
above required; Pkovided, that every
persou soiling such stimulants upon
tho prescriptions herein provided tor
shall cauoel such prescription by en
dnrtdng thereon the word 'canceled'
and the date of rauoellution. and shall
file- samo away."
Bee. 15, also provides that any per
son who shall "sell, exchange or give
away, with a purpose of evading the
provisions of this law, any intoxicat
ing HquorH whatsoever, or in any way
violates tho provisions of this law,
sliull be subject to prosecution by In
formation or indictment, and shall bo
punished by a lino of not less than $50
nor in or o than $500, or by imprison-.
meut In the couuty jail for not less
than 10 nor moro than SOdayy, or by
both lino and imprisonment. If any
person sliull be convicted a second
time for violating any of the provis
ions i.f this law, buoh persou shall be
punished for suoh second and each
subsequent violation of the law, by
both such Hue und imprisonment."
Realizing that, in order to obtain
the benefits of prohibition, the law
must be enforced, to further this end,
the Law and Order League offers a
standing roward of $25 for evidence
leading to each and every conviction.

Selected For Intermediate And Pr
mary Grades-Nlnth And 1Qtri
Grades Wi Also Bo
Installod,
Two of the teachers for tho ensulna"
term of the Madras school have been
selected by the board of directors out of
tho numerous ajfplications filed -with
them. The two elected are Professor
W, It. Cook, who will teach the 5th, Gth,
7tli and 8th grades, and Mies Clara Hor
ney, who will teach the first four grades.
Both of these selections were excellent
and tjicy meet with general approval
from the patrons and friends of tho
Madras school.
Prof. Cook has had a number of years
experience in teaching in this state, and
for several years past has very success
fully taught the Culver and Lamonta
schools. The patrons of those schoola
speak very highly of him.
Miss Clara Homey, who was selected
to teach the primary grades, is tho
daughter of Mr. and Mrs, J. H. Homey
of this place, and her election as one of
the teachers of the Madras school is
very gratifying to her friends and to tho
patrons of tho school. Miss Horney is a
graduate of the Crook County High
School, where she carried off tho high
honors of her class. Among the honors
she won was tho scholarship awarded
by Whitman College, which she won by
her high rank in her classes. In both
oT the past two years Miss Homey hag
also won the gold medal in the High
School declamatory contest.
The principal of the Madras school,
who will also teach tho Oth and 10th
grades which were added this year, lias
not yet been selected, although a num.
ber of applications for the position havo
been filed. In making the selection the
directors say that they have in view the
purpose of placing the Madras school in
the front rank among the schools of tho
county, and they are giving careful con
sideration to the various applications
filed. The patrons of tho Madras school
uro assured that with tho Oth and
10th grades added, the school will bo
maintained on a high standard, second
to none in the county.
MADRAS BALL TEAM
WINS TWO GAMES
Wins From Warmsprlngs And Agency
Plains Teams.
The Madras baseball team hasre-
deemed itself by winning two straight
games, which by the way aro the first
victories pulled down by the local nine
this season. The fir6t game was played
last Saturday with tho team from the
Warmspring agency, and it resulted in
a score of 5 to 3 ia favor of tho Madras
team. Tho second game was played
Sunday afternoon with a team from
Agency Plains, the Madras boys having
an easy victory m this game, by a score
of 21 to 7.
Tho game with the Indians on Satur
day afternoon was an interesting exhi
bition of the national game, both teams
putting up a good game, as is evidenced
by tho scoro of 5 to 3. The Indians
played an exceptionally good game of
ball and tho team work was good, but
they were poor hitters or tho score
might have been different. This game
was a return game for tho one played
between Warmspring and Madras on
Friday of the preceding week, and in
the first game tho Warmspring boys
boat the Madras team by a scoro of 0 to
4. A largo number of people turned out
to see the game Saturday afternoon, a
good big contingent of Indians coming
over to "root" for their homo boys
Madras won her second gatilo Suhday
afternoon in a game with tho team from
Agency Plains. Neither team had a full
list of their regular players and tho
gamo wua not a fair teat of strength be
tween tho two teams, although with tho
line-up they had it was an easy victory
for tho local nine.
