GENERAL MERCHANTS Madras, oreqon HARRIMAN BRINGS CONDEMNATION SUIT Looks As If Deschutes Route Had Been Selected cntctl near the mouth of the Deschutes, botweon Tlie Pallea and the town of Biggs. The Oregon Trunk Line is being constructed by Porter ISros., W. F. Nel Bon and V. p. Williamson, railroad con tractors. According to the articles of incorpor ation of the Deschutes road," said Mr. Cotton last night, "the proposed line will extend from a point on the 0. II. & N. near the mouth of the Deschutes through Crook county and into the Klamath country." BUYING RIGHT-OF-WAY ' IN DESCHUTES CANYON Assistant Ghfof Engineer Vlsft9 Mad rasParty Locating Lino By Lamonta Rquto. Assistant Chief Engineer Chase of the Ilnrrinian lines was in Madras 'the last of the wtfck, -personally inspecting the survey being made by his company through this section. He spent several days in this locality, going over the pro posed route and spying out the country, and Friday he lefffor Deschutes canyon, where Ihree other parties of Harriman engineers are at work.. Mr. Cha6e vis ited this locality early in the present year, making a trip up the Deschutes to Willow creek and out by the Willow creek canyon, and from this place going out to Sagebrush and down Trout creek At that time Mr. Chase's connection with tho Harriman interests was not known here, but tho present Harriman survey up the Deschutes, which leaves tho river at Trout creek, is doubtless the result of that visit. Tho Harriman party camped at this place and m charge of Mr. Mills are running their lino South by the La monta route, practically following the old survey of the Oregon Eastern rail way made three years ago. Thig survey crosses, tho mviuo At amoma ami crosses Crooked river near Oneil. The Oregon Trunk Line party under Mr. Crane, camped at this place for a month or moio, also ran a preliminary une South from this place, but they ran by way of tho Juniper Butte route, across Opal Prairie, and which route would give them a crossing over Crooked river near Trail Crossing. That preliminary, however, was only run about nine miles South of this place. , It is reported hero that as soon as the Harriman survey is completed on the Deschutes, tho three parties working there now will bo scattered along the Oreiron Eastern preliminary, and locate the lino on South to Klamath Falls The Oregon Eastern was only a prelim inary line, but tho party camped here now ia locating South, practically along tho old Oregon Eastern preliminary line PICK ROUTE TO CENTRAL ORECON The bringing of condemnation pro ceedinca against flvo owners of land along the Deschutes river for a right of way for the Deschutes Railway, at The Dalles, is regarded as an announcement by the Harriman officials as to the route that will lio followed in entering the vast irrigated district of Crook county and thenco into tho Klamath country, says Saturday's Orcgonian. The nrocccdintia wero begun at The Dalles yesterday by Attornoy W. W Cotton, general counsel for the Harri' man interests. It is generally believed that the suit is in reality a definite statement by tho Harriman officials that" entrance into Central and Southern Or egon" will be made from a point on the Columbia river near the Deschutes. The mad will extend to Bend, its ultimate objective point, according to Mr Cotton, being tho Klamath country. Five owners of land along tho Des chutes river are made defendants in the suits begun yesterday. Tho tract to n't condemned lies nlon tho bank of the river between White and Crooked rivers. Ono of tho defendants is tho Oregon State Land Board. Tho Deschutes river extonda along tho Eastern boundary of tho Warm Springs reservation in Crook county. In railroad circles the suit is also be Moved to mean an attempt on tho part of tho Harriman interests elthor to thwart or anticipate tho Hill interests in reaching tlio rich but inaccessible territory t) Central and Southern Ore gou. Tho road if completed, would bo an outlet for 300,000 acres of irrigated lands in Western Crook county, border ing on tho Deschutes river. Already tlio Oregon Trunk Lino, which rumor has designoted na a Hill road, seeking a right of way along tho West eldo of the narrow Deschutes river, At present thoro are 12 crews of engineers in tho canyon, mid tho Harriman inter ests aro well represented. Tho connection with tho 0. It. & N road of tho proposed Deschutes river toad would) accorllig to this fllllt, bo lo EXHIBIT OF HORSES AT THE COUNTY FAIR WANT OOUNTY ROAD THROUGH LYLE CAP StopB are being taken- to secure a county road, through tho Lj'le & Brown gap to tho Prineville-Shaniko road, and a petition for that purpose will be circu lated at once, in order to get the matter ready to present to the January term of tho County Court. Jt has not been gen erally understood that this was not al ready a county-road, but the fact is that from the Lyle& Brown gap tothcPrine ville road, the present traveled road lies over private lanu, aiinougu veazierc Brown threw the road open and permit ted the public to uso it. It was under stood at the time the road was" thrown open that veazie & Brown woulu give the road through their place, and would furnish the wire and the labor for tanki ng the new fencing required, on condi tion that the new posts necessary in building the fences would be furnished them. This condition has never been fully complied with and it is recently rumored that there is dancer of the road being fenced up again. This road is the only direct outlet to the present railroad point, for all of Western Crook county, and the present move is for the purpose of asking the county to do its part towards opening up one of the most important roads in tho county. The petition also asks lor some changes in tlio road across Sagebrush flat, asking that thfa county road follow the present traveled road across the Stoliker and Tfotter places between the foot of the hill and the gap. This road is shorter than the road by way of Sage brush spring, and is now used by the greater portion of tho travel. Last year 60-foot road was purchased from Messrs. btoliker and Trotter, across their land, and this has been fenced off, so that in declaring it a county road there will be no damages to assess. It is necessary, however, to have it de clared a . county highway before county road money can bo spent upon it, and as it is a part of one of the heaviest traveled roads in the county, the county court will be asked to accept it as a county road. Crook's Thoroughbred Horses Makg Excellent Show Exhibit Is Of High Merit. The principal stock exhibit at tho rook County Fair was of tho finer grades of draft horses, and this exhibit is said to have compared favorably with any made in the state. In the Perch eron class, a marc owned by G. Spiingor of Culver won first place, with "Will Wurzwciler'fl mare "Kitty," secondi Thomas Sharp Jr., Charles Montgom ery, J. v xayior, w. . uoenran, i. j, Ferguson and Stanley Morris also show ed some fine prize-winning Pcrchepps, The imported 8hire horses owned by the Baldwin Sheep & Land Company of Haycreekwero one of the features lof tlio stock exhibit, the stallions "Blais don Glory," "Blaisdon Standard" and Baldwin's First," a nativo colt, easily winning tho honors in the Shire classj. while "Airsville Patch," their Sliirrf mare, was also a prize winner. In the Clydesdale horses, the honors were won uy norsos exniniteu ny o. a. Prose, J. M. Montgomery and J. II . Gray. G. Springer, J. L.-Windom and tho Haystack association carried off tho honorB in tho .Belgian class, exhibiting their very classy Belgian stallion, among other animals which they had at tho show. ' Crook copnty has a right to be proud of its fine stock and especially of its high grade draft stock, which has been great. improved in recent years by the im portation into this section of a number of animals which would be prize win' ners in any country. ITEMS FROM OUR EXCHANGES Nearly Drowns In Flumo Frank Brown, who Is flumo tender at the D. I. A V. Co. headuatc, had a very narrow escape Irom death last Saturday He was attempting to remove some splash boards from the wasteway with a long pike pole when the polo slipped and plunged into tho water. The cur rent there is eo swift that tho jerk it Vavo the pole threw Brown off his bal ance, and he started to fall into the wasteway. In order to save himself he sprang across onto a rock that sloped sharply toward tho water, so sharply that he again had to spring from there. This however, had kept him from falling into tho wasteway, but when ho made his second lump he landed into the wa ter just above tho hcadgate. Tho cur rent there ia likewise terribly strong and Frank says lie was helpless as a log It shot him down to tho headgatos pulled him under them the gates being open about 2J feet and slammed him up ngaiiist tho wire netting ploced there to keep fish from going down the flume From thero ho crawled out onto tho ground none the worse for his experi ence except thatliia ribs were somewhat bruised from comiiiK in contact with somo part of the flumo or gates. Bend Bulletin. An auto raco wns an amusing feature of Saturday afternoon's fair. Tho ma chine ia owned by J. II.

BIGGS Salem, Or., Oct. 20. On the ground that there is no averment in the infor mation of the facts constituting the al leged crime of which defendant was charced or of the nature or character of the offense of which he was convicted or that the acts committed by him wero such as would justify his removal or suspension or that he has been guilty of unprofessional or improper conduct, or that ho is in any way unfit to be a mem ber of the bar, the Supremo Court, in an opinion renuerea ny umet justico Bean, this morning sustained the de murrer to the proceedings brought for the disbarment ot Marion It. Biggs. - Biggs, an attorney of Prineville, was convicted of subornation or perjury in the"fedeial court in Portland in connec lion with tho land-fraud cases, and given a jail sentence. The court also holds that the crime of subornation s)t perjury is not a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpi tude, within the meaning of the statute under which tho proceeding ia brought, and that unless the crimo comes within the statute, the provision, as thecoti. elusive efect of tho conviction, has no application. INTRODUCING NEW VARIETY OF .BARLEY G. L. Paxton is introducing a new va riety of barley in this section, the grain being of a dark, purplish color, and be ing known as Black Barley. Mr. Pax- ton secured tho eeed from a farmer in Baker county, and on March 20 of this year sowed it on his ranuh six miles North of Madras. Tlio barley ripened two weeks earlier than nny wheat in that vicinity, and when threshed, yiuld ed 20 bushels to tho acre, whilo wheat on land adjoining only yielded 5 bushels to tho acre. The Black Barley is boarded, but is hull-less, and shells out like wheat. Mr. Paxton says ho believes it is tho finest grain for feed purposes ever grown in this section. He has about 00 bushels for sale this year, for seed purposes, and is asking 5 cents per pound for it. Tho seed ho imported this Spring cost him in the neighborhood of 10 cents per pound. Mr. Paxton saya ho is con vinced that tho Black Barley is espijqj' ally adapted to this soil and climate, and ho believes it will becomo one of tho big crops of this eectioti.
