THE EMPIRE BUILDERS Referring to the development .of a new empire in the state ol ,Oregon with the building of the .Central Oregon road, the Port land Telegram pays a deserved .compliment to the settlers in this isolated section, who com ing in to locate in the face of (such adverse conditions as have .resulted from the lack of trans portation facilities, have never theless opened up and devel .pped a country td a point where it could no longer be ig nored by the railroad bitijders Concluding, the Telegram says: "The people, of .that section of the. sta,te the.prpud dis tinction of iiaving forced the attention of tho railroads. They .themselves aie the empiie builders. They have cultivated arms, raised flocks and herds, opened up minesj built towns and villages ape, established a ftrace of, no, tfie,an proportions solely by their own pluck and .enterprise, and without the aid .pi the railroads They have provided a field for profitable Railroad operation a ileld that jnight have been far better de veloped had Oregon received its .due from the railroad, oystem it .jhas enriched but, which now is in the way. of making an.indns Jtrial and commercial territory Jub great, if not greater in inipor iance than that which now ex rists within the present state of Orecron. The sicnificance of ,this Central Oregon .opening is jiardly appreciated, eyen by the most sanguine." penditnre of hundreds of thou sands of dollnis in , railroad work in this locality. The farmers of the surrounding country xV ill come in for their share of the general prosperity also, for there will be a read' market at good prices for all the hay and feedstuff's, butter, chickens and eggs, pork pro ducts, and such other produce as the fanner has to turn oft. The business horizon of th Madras country has a roseate hue, for there are good timet1 ahead. WE HOPE SO, TOO The president of the Oregon Trunk saya his road will be built as far as Madras in 18 months. We hope he is not joshing. The Dulles Optimist. The assembling of construe lion forces along the Harriman line between the mouth of Trou Creek and Madras, has an ap pearance of good faith on th part of that road that no amount of work along the rivei .it conflicting points could give. rne liarrimati road leaves 111- Deschutes canyon at Trout Creek while the Oregon Trunk Line continues on up the can yon to Willow Creek, and be tween Trout Creek and Madras there is no conflict between tin- rival lines. In consequence the commencement 01 actual con struction on that section of tlu line is a mighty strong indica tion that tno uescuutes Kail road is going to be pushed to completion, and that woik will be prosecuted all along the line. GOOD TIMES AHEAd , With the assembling of. rail road, construction forces in this .immediate yjcinjly, Madras will 800ri be.co.inj3 the center of a great liusihesa .activity, and ,busy days dre ahead for all the commercial interests of the town. Every branch of busi ness in Madras will profit and prosper as" the result of the ex OBITUARY John R. Long, father of Dr. T. A.

He was married in Missouri in 1848 to Miss Minerva Coff man, and to this tinion eight children rre born. His wife died five years ago, and of the eight children all have passed to the Great Heyond except one son, Dr. T. A. Long, of this place. The deceased.
