DOES IT MEAN CONSTRUCTION
OR OBSTRUCTION?
HarrimatJ muffineers have been
surveying lines into Central Or
egon from all points of the com
pass for the past half dozen
3'ears, some times from two or
. v . ... t
inree directions at tue same
time, and it might have been
supposed that when Mr. Harri
lnan got ready to build his
long-promised road into Central
Oregon he would have at his
command the necessary engi
neering data upon wliiou to
base a choice of routes. What,
then, is the cause of the delay
in selecting the route into this
Jong-neglected seciiou ? Wh v
are surveying parties working
over all the, old lines which
Harriman has had surveyed
into Central Oregon? It has
been six weeks since Governor
Chamberlain, P. S. Stanley and
General Manager O'Brien held
the conference with the railroad
magnate at Pelicay Bay, at
which time the immediate con
struction of a railroad into Cen
tral Oregon was promised, al
though no route was named.
It is fully a month since promi
nent officials of the Harriman
lines held a conference at Teli
can Bay, at which time it was
supposed a decision as to the
route to be followed would be
made. And still there is no in
dication that any route has
been decided upon, or that uc
tual construction work is about
to begin. There is plenty of
"activity" along the Harriman
fcuiveys, but it runs principally
to corduroy breeches and -high
top boots, and it is a toss up
whether it means construction,
or obstruction, since other inter
ests are trying to, build into
this section.

office.
' General Manager O'Brieni
Chief Engineer Bosohke and
other Hnrrimnn oflioiais Were
reported to be scouting through
Crook county 'and Central Ore
gon Inst week, looking over the
route of the proposed Harriman
line. More likely it.ws their
27th Annual Bluff nt Central
Oregon, upon the 20 preceding
ones of which many hopes of a
railroad have been built in past
yeais. There Was not as much
interest displayed 'this year as
on similar occasions in former
years, and iho cause might be
traceable to the , activity ol
other railroad interests aloncr
the Deschutes canyon the only
natural pass into the country.
Up until quite recently Mr, Bar-
rimau was the only hope, but it
begins to look now as though
we might possibly get a road
without him and in spite of
him.

Has the millennium arrived?
A. Luke county stage company,
operating a line between Pais
ley, Summer Lake and Silver
Lake has given notice that it
will not handle alcoholic liquors
over its line. The precincts in
which the stage line operates
having voted dry iu the recent
ection, the stage Company
takes the position that it wilt
not be a party to the violation
of the law, by hauling the
liquor in. This position is cer
tainlj' a. unique one for a stage
line or any transportation com
panj' to take, although the prin
ciple is undoubtedly correct..
HALF A CROP THIS YEAR
Very little grain from this
section has been hauled to
Shaniko so far this season. Al
though the price is better than
last Fall, 74 cents being the lat
est quotation from Shaniko,
there is a disposition to hold
for a little better price. How
ever, some wheat will begin toi

There is probably not to ex

only about half a crop having
been harvested this j'ear, owing
to the very unfavorable Spring.
These unfavorable conditions
were general throughout the
wheat districts of the state, and
In some sections the results
were even more disastrous than
in this district. Reports from
the various threshers operating
in this district show that the
average yield this year was
about half that of last year, al
though in some exceptional
bases a full crop was reported.

Senator Rand ot Vancouver,

the unly man in the Washing

who voted against their direct

egislature at that lime. He
was bitterlj' condemhed for do-
ng so at the time, but the
change of sentiment over there,
incident to the scramble and

on the 'question one to which
he can point with pride.

County Clerk Brown of this
county has issued 286 hunters'
licenses during the present
year, but it is doubtful whether
the licensees have bagged an
average of one piece of game
each this .year, counting all
species, both feathered and
furred. Time was when Crook
.county was the hunter's para
dise, but about the only kinds
of game left are a few deer and
bear in the mountains.
