ROBINSON GENERAL MERCHANTS MADRAS, OREGON Much Speculation As To Meaning Or Sudden' Activity Of Horrlmah Surveyors In The Des chutes Canyon Tlio railroad garao in Central Oregon appears to he centering its play in the Deschutes canyon, and recent develop ments point to one of two things: That either Mr. IJarriman is going to build his piotnised Central Oregon road down the canyon of tho Deschutes, or he is going to employ nil the skill and in genuity of hie engineering department in keeping anyone else from using that natural gateway into the Central Ore gon country. That much is evident from the hurrying of surveyors into the Deschutes canyon, where not less than four parties are already working along the river, together with the visit last week of Chief Engineer Bosrhke, of the 0. R. & N. Company, who spent two or three days there inspecting the route and the work in person. Tho presence of Mr, Boschkc, who is chief engineer of tho 0. It & N. Co., has aroused considerable interest in con lifection with the great activity of the Harriman surveyors in the Deschutes canyon, and following so closely upon the recent newspaper reports that it was practically assured that the Corval lis fc Eastern would he the Harriman line huilfc into Central Oregon. If the Corvallis: Eastern railroad is to he ex tended into Central Oreuon, why this concentration of engineers in the Des chutes canyon? There have heen re pcated rumors of new Harriman parties headed for the Deschutes, hut sifted down there appears to ho four parties of engineers along the Deschutes, in ad dition to those in the employ of the Ore gon Trunk Line. Two of these have heen surveying there for several weeks, and the other two parties were rushed in about 10 days ago, coming to Shaniko on u special train and leaving during the night for tho Deschutes. These four parties are scattered along the Deschutes, and from the character of their work are evidently making loca tion of the Harriman line. The party nearest this way is the one which camped at Sagebrush for several weeks, and which ran a lino up Trout creek This party has now moved camp to the Bob O'Donnell place at tho mouth of A. M.

Trout creek, and it was this camp which Mr: IJoschke used as headquarters dur ing his several days' trip to the Des cntites. several lines were run up Trout creek, the final location following up the North side of tho creek for about a mile, where it crossed to tho South side of tho creek and then on up the Boalh side and out at Sagebrush. So far as can he learned none of the Harri man parties have run a line up the Des chutes above tho mouth of Willow creek. Notwithstanding all this activity of the Harriman surveyors, so far as can ho learned there has heen no right-of-ways sojjcjted or acquired by the Harri- mart interests along the Deschutes. whjchv fact would seem to explodo the theory that tho efforts of the Harriman interests would he directed to obstruct ing the Oregon Trunk Line. If that were the purpose ot the Harriman activ ity in the Deschutes canyon, it would certainly appear logical that they would be trying to secure right-of-way at stra tegic points along the river, hut no effort appears to have heen made in that direction. Were it not for the fact that a Deschutes road will rob the Columbia Southern of the balk of its business and practically destroy the earning power of one of the most profitable branches of the 0. Jt& N., and that for this reaJ son it was generally believed that Mr Hartiman would choose tho Corvallis & Eastern route for extension into Central Oregon, there would appear to he no longer any doubt that the Deschutes route had been selected instead, and that preliminary work was being has tened so that construction could, begin But these facts and theories do not seem to hang together, and the result is a puzzle that is as mystifying as the prob lem, "How old is Ann?" In the meantime the Oregon Trunk Line people are proceeding with the location of their line and with the acqui sition of right of-way, and there is every appearance that construction work on that road will follow as soon as these preliminaries are completed. The location down Willow creek to the Des chutes has been finished. The right-of- way was secured across government lands, and right-of-way over private lands has heen contracted practially all the way through. So far there has been no clash and no indication pf any ob structive purposes of the Hairiman en gineers, other than their presence along the river, and if the predictrd fight be tween the rival interests in the Des chutes canyon is to materialize, there have have heen no preliminary skir mishes to indicate it. FARMERS' RALLY SATURDAY-BASKET DINNER 1 10UCKS BROS I MADRAS, OREGON Will Organize County Farmers' Un ionState President Will Be Present. There will be a rally of farmers at Madras next Saturday, October 10, a call having been issued to all the county branches of the farmers' Union for a meetiutr at this place on that date, for tho purpose of organizing the local branches into a county union.

ATTENDED TEACHERS' INSTITUTE Among tho teachers from this locality who attended the meeting of the teach ers' institute at l'rinevillo during the past week were Misses Efiio Taylort lvathryn Lowthor, Clara and Bertha Homey, Marie Moehring, E, E. Fisch, Tillio Fisch and Mrs. Cressoy; Messrs. P. C. Fulton, W. R. Cook and Andrew Larson from Madias; Misses Myrthena Taylor, Grace Kohinson and I. A. Tol bert from Culver; Miss Ethel Smith from Lamouta and Miss Nellie Reynolds from Haycreek. Tho sessions opened on Wednesday of last week and continued through Fri day, and from tho teachers who were In attendance it is learned that tho Insti tute wus the inost successful ever held ii this comity, Among the leading edu cators of tho state who wero in attend ance were J. II, Ackerman, state super intendent of public instruction, L R, A (lerman, of tho University of Oregon faculty, and Georgo Jones, of Salom, ed itor of tho Teachers' Monthly. OOMIO Postal Curdt, Have yon seen them at tho Mutlrus Trading -Oof's? 1 (taut tuau, s8 OREGON TRUNK SUR VEYORS MOVE CAMP Tho party of Oregon Trunk Line suy-. veyors under Mr. Crane, who have been camped nt Madras for tho past four weeks, while they made a location of tho line down Willow creek to the Des? chutps, will move their camp in the next day or so to tho Deschutes. They, will work down the river, presumably to connect with the survey of the party under T. N. Han ford. Mr. Han ford began work at tho mouth of White river and is locating this way, Tho old survey of the Oregon Trunk Line follows up the West side of the ' Deschutes above the mouth of Whito river, and crosses to the East-side nfc White Horse rapids, and the location practically.followa the old survey. From the White Horse rapids the line follows tho East side of the Deschutes up ta Willow creek and on up the Willow creek gome to Madras. Tho Oregon Trunk Line starts up tho Deschutes on the West side, but crosses to the East side some little distance above the mouth of the river. Further up it crosses to the West side aeain and follows up the river on the reservation side to the crossing at White Horse rap ids, so there are three crossings on the Deschutes. MADRAS MILL STARTS GRINDING Tho Madras flouring mill, which has been idle for several months past,Ye sumed grinding out flour and other pro ducts of the mill last week, and accorJ ing to the statement of .Secretary Deit zel of the company, they expect to con tinue without interruption during tho Winter and Spring. The mill has been thoroughly overhauled and repaired while idle this Summer. Mr. Ditzel has just returned from a trip through Southern Crook and North ern Lake counties in the interest of "Madras Flour," and he says the ouU look is encouraging for an increased voln ume of business for the mill from that section. In fact, he saya the demand for the product of the Madras mill will keep the mill runnjhg at its full capac ity to supply it this season. The mill is now buying wheat. ITEMS FROM OUR EXCHANGES Smallpox At Bend A case of smallpox has been jeported from Bend to Dr. C S. Edwards, county health officer, the patient being J. 8. Parmenter. He broke out with the dis ease Sunday, and as ho had been ped dling milk just before he broke out, thero is a possibility that a considerable portion of the city has been exposed. Mr. Parmenter has been quarantined. Dr. Edwards does not feel at all alarmed over the outcome and has no fear of an epidemic. Tho solitary case was so quickly discovered and isolated before the dangerous stage of the pa tient had been reached, that pepplo need have absolutely no fear, Review.. For $100 a side a test race was run at. the fair grounds Tuesday afternoon be tween the horses Seventy and Lambnta, owned respectively bj Charles Bedell and Jack Helfrich. The ..distance was three-eighths of a mile, and Seventy won. by nearly a length. Both horses are on tered for the track meet at the fair October 1317 Journal. ' James T. Robinson of Culver was a Prinoville visitor the latter part of tho week. Ho .says everything down his way looks promiiog, with railroad raon , scattered over tho country thicker than fleas on a Clackamas county dog, Mr.' Itgbmson thinks the coming railroad will bo built up the Deschutes. Review Willis W. Brown of Heisler is buying up many hundred head of cattle in this part of the county for market. Last Saturday he brought into Prinoville 400 head from tho Ochoco and Crooked river valleys, taking them to the Powell placo on tho lower McKay to bo fed. Of this herd 150 head will bo shipped to' Port land immediately. Mr. Brown is buy ing more daily for tho Bamo market. Crook County Journal. E. M. Rands of Vancouver, right-of- way man for tho Oregon Trunk Line, was in Antelope Wednesday, negotiating witli Frank Irvine, who owns property through which tho line will run. Mr. Rands, who is well informed on railroad matters, said that undoubtedly tho rosul would bo built, and that it would not bo built by Harriman, which, of course, moans that Hill is back of it. He state d that his company had practically se cured light of Way from tho Big Cove, on the river, through to Madras, anil that they anticipate no trouble in get ting South from that point. A grade of 1 2-10 per cent and ti curvature of hot tCvexcecd G per cent aau.. bo obtained.- Antelope Herald,
