OREGON TRUNK SURVEYING SOUHT j-boatlpn Pown Willow Creek Completed HARRIMAN ENGINEERS ARE KEEPING BUSY Two Niovv Parties Reported At Shan Iko Sunday Night Several Parties Already On Deschutes, The surveying party in charge of Mr. Crane beean Tuesday morning running a lino South front Madras. The loca tion of the Oregon Trunk Line up Wil low creek gorge to Madras has been practically completed and the surveyors are now working South from this point, presumably for the purpose of ascer taining wiiat kind of a paea van be had out of Willow creek flat. Thfe presump tion is based upon the information that the preeent survey South of Madras will only be run about five miles, after which the work will be transferred to tho Deschutes river, at the point where tho location down Willow creek ended. The flat at tho head of Willow creek gorge, where Madras is located, is in the neighborhood of 250 feet lower than the surrounding country, but three or four, surveys havo already been made South from Madras, and it lias been generally understood that none of these surveys had to exceed a 1.5 per cent grade out of Willow creek flat. After running the line four or five miles South of Madras, the Oregon Trunk Line party of surveyors will move camp to the Deschutes river, probably near tho ferry, and work on the survey down the river will - bo resumed. The line has been located to a point on the Deschutes just below the mouth of Wil low creek. Very little information can be obtain ed regarding tho plans of the Oregon Trunk Lino people, although it lias come to bo a generally accepted belief that the lino will be built and that construc tion will be under way by the first of the year. Quite recently there were rumors that grading outfits and con struction crews were being unloaded at the mouth of the Deschutes, but these reports cannot be confirmed, It is known that T. N. Hanford and a party of Oregon Trunk Line surveyors are making a careful location of the line up the Deschutes from the mouth of White river, and tho supposition is that the party under Mr. Crane will work down the river to a connection with the line being run by tho Hanford party. And it is not probable that any definite news regarding construction will bo given out until tho location of tho line is com pleted. Meanwhile tho Harriman surveyors are also quite busy in tho Deschutes canyon, in spite of tho continued rumors that tho Harriman intorests havo se lected tho Corvallis & Eastern routo for extension into Central Oregon. Several parties of Harriman surveyors are al ready working along tho Deschutes, and another party is located at Sago Brush, ; running a lino up Trout creek, Monday morning it was reported hero that two large parties of surveyors had arrived at Shaniko the evening before, and that nkets & Robes ztsr 22 "w s i" o a isz Pine stock of Harness, Collars, Bridles, Halters, Whips and other articles kept in a first class Harness Shop DURABLE LINE OF SHOES Wheat Taken In Trade B. S. LARKIN MADRAS, ORE. UFRNITURE & UNDERTAKING SUPPLIES LQUGKS BROS MADRAS, OREGON they were understood to bo in the Har riman empjoy. Their destination could not be learned, but the supposition is that tiiey will take a hand in tho rail road game as it is played in Centra) Oregon. Tho Harriman party camped at Youngs arc headed this way. Tiiey ran rt'lino up Trout creek, and then sur veyed a line up Sage Brush spring to the flat. Parties in Madras from' Youngs the first of the week reported that the surveyors were running a line up Porter Spring canyon. EXPECTS WORK MAY START ON G. & E. SOPH , Albany, Ore., Sept. 23. That narri man is considering the extension of the Corvallis & Eastern is indicated by the fact that F. W. Ituckcr and J. B. Pope, two Southern Pacinc construction con tractors and engineers, accompanied by J. T. Walch, superintendent of the C. & E., left Albany this morning for the Eastern terminus of the lino in a special car, carrying with them maps, drawings and blue prints. This is tiie most im portant indication yet noted that the Corvallis & Eastern is the route selected byllarriman for his promised extension into Central Oregon this year. Itucker and Pope arrived from J'oi t land last evening and spent the night here. This morning they were joined by Walch and started for Detroit in a train consisting only of their special car ana engine. For some time surveyors- have been working Eaetward from Detroit, the present terminus of the C. & E., over the old survey of the Oregon Pacific, and tho trip of Itucker and Pope leads to the belief that actual construction work is contemplated. WINTERPAYS EARLY YISIT The people of this section were treat ed to a foretaste of Winter the last.pf the week, a new record for low temper ature in September having been estab lished. The mercury began falling Wed nesday afternoon, and Thursday morn ing at 6 o'clock stood at 12 degrees be low freezing point. Thursday was a beautiful Fall day, but in the evening the Frost King put in another appear ance and tho thermometer again regis tered in the neighborhood of 20 above zero. It was the first visit of Winter, and it played havoc with vines, flowers, and what little garden vegetables were still growing-. Pumps were frozen solid both mornings and did not thaw out un til the sun was well up. The only dam age of consequence was to vegetables and melons which still remained in the gardens. The severity of the spell was very un usual for September weather in this sec tion, 12 degrees below freezing being a new record for this month. Last year there was no sucli weather until fully six weeks later. But this has been n most unusual year, beginning witli a very late, cold Spring. PREDICTS BIG PRICE FOR WHEAT "My private opinion is that wheat will go to $1.25 a bushel this winter," said F. A. Benson, manager of tho Wasco Warehouse Milling Co., of The Dalles, yesterday when in the city on a short business trip, says tho Oregon Journal. "The fact that they are paying more in England for cargoes today than for Decejnber wheat tells me that there is going to bo Bomo strong values, but, of course, it is only my private opinion. I miiiht be wrong." Mr. Benson lias been connected with the wheat trado for the pa6t JW years, having been with the firm of Q.-W'. Mc Near in San Francisco for niany years. He came to Portland ti couple of years ago and until becoming manager of the Wasco Warehouso Milling Co. was in tho employ of A Berg, wheat exporter of this city. "I believe wheat will bring $h25," continued Mr., Benson, "but will add that if anything goes wrong with tho Argentine crop( then ours will bo worth every cent of $1.50 a bushel."

Washington, Sept. 28, Oregon coiir tinues to bo the second heaviest conlribr utor to the Nationad reclamation fund, being exceeded only by North Dakota, From a statement made by the General Land Office today, it appears that total receipts from public land sales in Ore gon during the past fiscal year amount ed to $1,401,842. North Dakota was half a million greater, but Oregon sur passes the next highest state by nearly $000,000 While Oregon's land receipt? were second only to North Dakota, thera are seven states in which more public land was disposed of last year. In Ore' gon there were 13,701 entries, embracing 1,012,447 acres. COT 25 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE Conrad Strasser was in town yester day from liis home South of Madras, He says tiiat he has a' good crop this year, having threshed something over 25 bushels of wheat to the acre. The wheat was of the Forty-fold variety, and was sown on fummer-fallow, and given very careful attention. Good farming got good results in spitcof the unfavor able season. ITEMS FROM OUR EXCHANGES . . A Serious Accident A-very serious accident occurred Tues day last when a team belonging to and driven by John A. Brogan of Axehandlo ran away down Horseheaven mountain on the Cherry creek side, throwing out Mr. Brogan and his wife and little daughter. Mr. Brogan was badly bruis ed, bis wife had both legs broken and was otherwise injured, and the little girl also sustained a broken leg. The family were on their way to the home of James Connolly", on Cherry creek, when the accident happened. Mr. Brogan managed to get to the Shrum ranch, where help was secured to go back and get his wife and child, who lay helpless and suffering on the mountain. They "were all taken to Mr Connolly's home and Dr. King of Ante lope was summoned by telephone. At present the sufferers are resting as well as can bo expected under the circum stances. Antelope Herald. Mr. Bro gan ia a cousin of Mrs. J. C. Bobinson of this place. Bend Girl Kills Bear It isn't every community that can -boast the possession of a young lady bear hunter, but that's what Bend can do and for that reason the successful killing of a largo brown bear by Mia Grace Vandevert has been the subject of much conversation during the past week. Last Saturday Miss Grace and her fathor, W. P., started out from -tho home ranch at Lava in quest of bruin, properly equipped with horses, dogs and rifles. About two miles from the ranclt the hounds picked up tho fresh tracks of a bear, and the chase was On. It was a short and spirited one and after a run of about a mile' the dogs treed. bruin. Miss Grace had followed the dogs closely through the thick of the chase, and beat her father to the tree in which-the bear had taken refuge. A well aimed shot from her rillo brought the big brown " animal down and tho sport was ended. Bulletin. . ' , At Shaniko last Thursday morning nN large shipment of muttou sheep to Chi cago took plaeo from tho stockyaids. A train of 18 cars was loaded with the ani mals', the operation requiring the ser vices of nine men from 6 to 12, at which time the two big Southern Pacific ten wheelers whisked the I train out of town. Three hundred jdieep were loaded into each double-decker, or 5400 to tho entire train, and the freight tariff was $210 per car, tho rate to Chicago, or $3780 for tho trainload. John Fleming was tho buyer and it is reputed that he paid more than $3 a head for the mutton delivered at Shaniko, in the vicinity of which tho sheep wero grown. Prlnevillo Review. Dave W.
