Oregon Territory.
tast "Saturday afternoon at Banford's
Hall an informal meeting was held for
the pUrpoBe of discussing the proposed
p'an to extend the Columbia Southern
Railroad from'Shaniko into Crook coun
ty, Sir. Roscoe Howard, general mana
ger of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power
Company, and promoter ot the railroad
project, being present to explain the
present status of the proposed enter
pnse,. Owing to the fact that it was not
known until a short time before the
meeting ust when Mr. Howard would
iossible to advertise
the meeting in advance so that there
could be a larger attendance from the
outlying districts, but iYi spite of this
fact there Was a good attendance at the1
meetinpr, including representatives from 'J
the Agency Plains, Opal Praire, Littlen
Plains, Killihgbeck and Culver sections. rj
Mr. Howard outlined the plans for
the extension of the railroad into Crook
county, explaining' briefly what pro
gress had been made in those plans up
to this time. Portland, he assured the
meeting, was ready to help in the en
terprise and would subscribe for enough
bonds to complete the road, provided
tjrooK county wouiu raise oy BUDsenp
tion to the preferred stock df the com-J
pany, tho equivalent of $500,000. This
subscription could be paid in labor, sup
plies or materials", or in grain, and the
payments would be so arranged as to bed
most conveniently made by the people
of this count. He had just returned
from Portland", where he spent a week
on business connected with the railroad
project, and he says there is no question
that the proposed railroad will be built
at once, if the people of Crook county
will do their Dart. After he had com
pleted his talk, Mr. Howard was asked
and answered many questions regarding'
tlie(detnils of tho plan to build the railroad.
It was stated by Mr. Howard that it
vould require in tho neighborhood of GO'
days to complete t the preliminaries, by
which time if the subscriptions had
been raised in this county, there was
nothing to prevent the immediate com-1
mencement of construction work. He
suggested that a committee bo appoint
ed to take up this mat,ter at once. In
accordance with that suggestion a" gen
eral meeting of all persons interested in
seeing tho railroad extended into this
county is called for two o'clock next
Saturday afternoon at Madras, at which
timo n committee will bo appointed. J
Tliis committee will consist of repre
sentatives froln eachlistrict, and a sys
tematic plan .for taking up the work
will be adopted.
For the purpose of explaining to those
who did not attend last Saturday's!
meeting', the piui for tho extension into j
Uronk county, Mr. Howard Iia9 written
a letter, addressed to Madras Commit-
I 1
tee tif Cjeltral Oregon Railroad, which

WATER-SPOUT OH HAY CREEK
It was reported here Tuesday that ii
heavy rainfall, talcing on almost the
proportions of a water-spout, occurred
along Haycreelc ahd on Lower Trout '
last M6nlay afteihoon. There was
some rath at Madras, though only light
ihow-ers, butU was apparent that the
country East of here and also to tlio
South was visited by heavy rains. Joh$
Lockard says that Hay creek showed
evidences of a heavy rain above Heisleri
and the drivers on the West side stage
reported that the rain had been severe
enough at Cross Key's 6 wash the roads
badly.
BIG DUST STORM
There was a terrific dust storm in
Madras last Sunday afternoon, followed
by several light showers of rain. Tho
storm came from tho 'South and tho
clouds of dust could be seen approach
ing several miles up the Willow Creek
basin, gathering volume as they neared
Madras. When the storm struck Mad
ras it had the velocity of a small tor
nado, and the dust was so thick that
objects could not be seen 20 feet away.
The storm did not last over 20 minutes
or a half hour, and it was followed by a
slight sho'wer which settled the dust
and cooled the a'tniosphere. Later In
tho afternoon other light showers of
rain fell. The rainfall was net heavy
enough to do much good to crops.
LICHTNINC KILLS HORSE
A valuable horse belonging to Michael
Braun was struck bv lichtninc and
killed outright last Sunday afternoon sh
his ranch on Agency Plains. There was
a slight electrical storm following the
dust storm in tho afternoon, and al
though it was not severe enough to
cause any apprehension here in Madras',
there was quite an electrical display at
a distance. Dr. Long, who was driving
to the plains on a, professional call dur
ing the storm, says that he was driving
toward tho Braun ranch and saw tho
bright flash of lightning, followed by a
heavy peal of thunder, and thought
then that it had struck fh that neigh
borhood i
