Mr. Stanley's denial of the reported interview, wiih Mr, Harriman, in which the lntter was said to have referred unfa vorably to the Central Oregon railroad is givqu prominence in this week's paper. The story was not given uiuoh credence here when first published, but it will nevertheless be of inter est to many to lead Mr. Stan ley's denial, and what he says regarding the prospects for a road. Much has been said in papers throughout the state regarding the Central Oregon railroad, and the public has about reached the point where it will have to see "dirt fly" before it is sure that the road will be built, or which route will be chosen. But, no man in the state has kept in closer touch with the railroad situation in Central Oregon than Mr. Stan lej', and for this reason his opinion will have weight. Re says he has good reasons to be lieve that the work will be be guu at once. . HELPING ALONG OUR FAIR One of the bills passed over the veto of Governor Chamber lain, wa3 the' bill of Represent ative Belknap, appropriating 8750 annually to the First Cen tral Oregou District Pair Asso ciation, the meetings of which are held at Piineville. The bill was passed at the last session of the legislature, but was ve toed by the Governor, and at this session it received the nec esEary two-thirds vote to pats it over the veto. The state is appropriating funds for the support of other district, fairs throughout the state, and it was just and right that thj district fair held at Piineville should also receive some slate aid. Central Ore gon is developing into one of the great agricultural districts of the state, and its district fairs, whose puipose is the ad vancement of the agricultural interests, should receive proper encouragement. l THE ARTESIAN WELL BILL Senator Smith of Umatilla county, has introduced in the legislature what is known as the artesian well bill, and the measure has passed the Senate with only one dissenting vote. If it become a Jaw it will un questionably prove beneficial to many sections of Eastern Or egon," where artesian water may bo secured' by deep drilling. Drilling for artesian water is an expensive business, and it has not been very extensively en gaged in in Eastern Oregon, for the reasou that it has. not been practical, even where there were good prospects of securing artesian water, to get all the property-owners who would be benefitted thereby to join in the enterprise. The Smith bill pro vides a practical way in which districts may be organized and the co-operation of all property owners to be benefitted may be necured, since all property in the well district must share in nils expeuao of the drilling Such a Jaw will open the way to much development work 01 tJiat kind. The meeting called for Mon day evening to discuss the im provemeut of the Cow Canyon rond was well attended and considerable interest was muni fested in the project, Messrs, Itooper and Howell represented Wasco county at the meeting, the former explaining at length the attitude of the Wasco coun ly court towards the proposed improvement. It is their pui pose to build a new road, fol lowing the creek- and avoiding the steep pull "over the horn," and to improve the grade all the way up the canj'on, Wasco county to bear half the expense and Crook county citizens to put up the balance, amounting to about $G0O. It is estimated that about $200 of this amount will have to be raised at Mad ras by subscription. An organization was effected with A. C. Sanford as chairman and Max Lueddemanu as sec retary, and a committee con sistiug of J. W. Robinson, C. E. Rotish and John McTaggart was appointed to solicit sub scriptions. Don Rea was ap pointed a special committee to take the matter up with the TJ. I. & P. Co. and the other inter ests at Bend. The several local blanches of the Farmers' Union have also taken the matter up and will lend their assistance, and the success of the undertaking is assured, so far as this section is concerned. One dollar per bushel was paid in Walla Walla last week for No, 1 bluestem wheat, the first time, in more than 20 years that the price has reached the dollar mark at that place. In trinsically wheat is worth no more at Walla Walla than it is, at Madras, and the dilirence in he price emphasizes what it means to a wheat district to be without transportation facilities.
