THURSDAY - MttR.it, 190$) OtfLY ONE ROUTE 4 " T The Interior Depar'nient, in holding up the application for rii?ht-of-way up tlie Des 1iuIb canyon, seems io have gone oil ou the idta that there are other routes for the railroad into Cen tral Oregon and that the Dea chutes canyon should therefore he saved for its very valuable possibilities of power develop raent. Admitting the value of the power possibilities of the Des chutes river, however, the posi tion of the Interior Department in this matter is still wrong for the reason that the .'other pretn Ise . to its conclusions (hat there are other routes into Central Oregon is absolutely wrong, if the country to be tapped by the railroad is to be given anj' consideration at all The Deschutes canyon is the only direct, water level route to the natural market for the pro duct of this country. Then are other ways for a railroad to get. into Oentro Oregon, bur only by climbing up the moun tain and letting itself down on the other side, and that means increased cost of .operation and higher freight rates. And every cent added to the freight rate means that much of a tax im posed upon every product of this country which is to be inarketedj for all time to come, in that sense the Deschutes canyon is the only route to Ceutral Oregon, and it should and tins power possibilities of tilt river Could still lib con seiyotU .

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB The organization of a com mercial club in Madras last "JFridfJy evening was a move in the right direction, and has placed in the hands of the busi ness men of the cornmunit' an instrument which they will lind that they can use to good ad vantage. There is strength in iinity, and the business inter ests of the town have needed eome medium through which they could get concerted action on matters of importance to the community. The membership should include every resident of the. town and the adjoining dis trict, for the commercial club will be found working as a unit for the advancement of the best interests pf ;Madras and the Madras country. THE POINT OF VIEW r . No one is going to deny the value of the powejr that could "be developed -along the Des chutes river, but there seems to be a pretty well established opinion in Central Oregon that ,the canyon through which the river flows was put there for an outlet to this country, and that the railroad is the considera tion of first importance, The Reclamation Service sees only the power possibilities of the river, and Centra) Oregon sees only its railroad hopes go a glimmering, so th(it the value of the Deschutes River canyon depends largely on the point of iew. It would J)e a happy solution of the difficulty if the experts sent fo investigate the tHi68tion8 at, issue between the railrpad and .the Reclamation Service could etjih;e some prac THE SPECIAL SESSION GALLED FOR MARCH 15 Legislature Will Paca No New Ldws To Correct Defects Of Former Session ' Salem, Or., Maioh 5. Gover nor Benson issued a proclama tion this afternoon calling the Legislature in special session at 10 o'clock; Monday morning March 17, for the purpose of passing the appropriation bill which failed at the regular ses sion because of a defect in the proceedings. In a statement to the piess governor uenson says mat a majority of the members have voluntarily promised that no tiew legislation will be taken up, but he indicates that there may be a number of minor de fects in acts of the regular ses sion which will need correction at the special, session. In this, lie evidently has reference to the gam-i code, the tax-commis sion law and some minor bills in which defects were found. The appropriation bill which was found defective earned ap propriations for improvements at the insane asylum, peniten tiary, leform school, soldiers home, blind school and other state institutions, and without this appropriation for the next two years these institutions would be in a very bad plight. Through some oversight in the rush of the last days of the Ses sion final action on this bill was not taken, and it is principally for the purpose of cuiiug this oversight that the present ses sion is called. A number of minor mistakes and omissions in other bills will also be cor rected.

This speaUatwell for the efficiency of the old teachers and with the addition of a thoroughly competent' Nor mal teacher the attendance at the Crook county high school should be double during t In ensuing year. NEAR-TnOUBLES AT PIMXEILLE The council made a noise like nailing down the lid last Tuos day evening. A new ordinance prohibiting the sale of "near beer" was enacted. And that, too. just as the warninr days am ajiproachiug, and theiear joy of extracting the amber col ored liquid from beneath Its near-froth had begun to be near-appreciated. Crook Coun t3' Journal.
