Depot Grounds For Madras
Pafinitely Located
AMPLE ROOM FOR SID
INGS AND WAREHOUSES
Convenient DUtanco From Commer
cial Center Of City Located
On Taylor Tract
Tlio jpcalion of tho depot and switch
ynrda (or thp Qregpn frunk Line at
Madras has been definitely fixed, and
thi? location is confirmed by the ou
ciah) of that lirip U)on thejr recent trip
to thjii city. Jn Yew of tlie controversy
which has been ipldin up this loca
tion, as wel as the riclit of way across
the Gray hornegtead, just South of the
Madras townsitp, being satisfactorily
settled with the present owner, W. tl.
Taylor of Spokunc, it is very gratifying
to the business interests of the town to
know that the depot will Li situated not
far distant from the commercial center
of the city. The location of the deppt
and railroad, sidings is a matter upon
which negotiations have been pending
for some time, us to whether it would
be fcituuted upon the Taylor tract or one
mile South,
'.flic Oregon Trunk upon leaving Wil
low Creek will necessarily have to make
a lung and heavy fill from the head of
the canyon to the Taylor Jand, the loca
tion selected for the depot. Sufficient
land has also been secured by the com
puny for adequate warehouse and track
ago facilities.
According to the pat of Madras town-
site the depot grounds will be located
between Second and First Streets and
about three blocks South of "D" street,
the street which the Pioneer building
faces. This wil be not quite 2000 fept
distant from the business section of the
city. Far enough-away that the noise
of moving trains will not prove an annoy
ance to business houses or the switching
of cars impede tho streets during the
busy portion of tlie day. Yet, the dis
tanco is not great enough to prove labo
rious or inconvenient to persons desir
ing to walk to the trains.

SPRING WEATHER IS
GLADLY WELCOMED
Tho arrival of Spring ia betpkened by
the warm, balmy weather which has
settled upon this section during the past
10 days, and the gladsome chango is fur
ther evidenced by the prosenco of larks
robins and others of tho feathered tribe
that have returned from, the sunny re
gions Southward.
This change i,n clpijatic conditions is
yery welcome after the long and todious
Winter which has endured for the past
(our months. A contractor of this yi
cinity said recently, "Railroad construct
ion is always accompainec by arbtary
climatic changes", and the weather of
this section during tho past Winter has
proved no exception to his assertion.
However, the worst is now past and
all avocations alike can pursue their la
bors with no fears of being in the future
retarded by adverse weather conditions
PORKERS PD MIJTTOM
MAKE RECORD PRICE
Livestock values are going to unheard
of heights. HogB in the Portland market
recently were worth $10acwt. , the, high
est price paid here since Portland became
a livestock market and the highest in
the memory of men who have recol
lection of the scarcity and famine prices
that prevailed about the close of the
Civil War.
That hogs sold at the figure indicated
today was not given out officially by tlie
Livestock Exchange, for at the time of
the filing at noon of the report on trans
actions at the yards during the morning
hours, no sales at that level had been
closed, but there was business under
way at the time, and from another source
it was learned that $10 a hundred was
actually paid for hTgh-grade porkers at
tho yards trday.
In the mutton market the situation is
exactly the same. For lambs ' of best
quality the phenomenal price of $7.75 a
hundred was paid at the yards yesterday
and wethers of the best quality moved
at 10 50.

OFFICIALS OF BOTH
. LINES INSPECT WORK
Laborious Tasks Poocuted In Splto Of
i it ' n - ' '
Advecao ConditionsTrains
In Seven Months
The. activity of both railroads now un
der construction up tho Deschutes can
yon, and headed (or Central Oregon, is
beginning to show that alj the energy
possible, coupled with nil tho engineer
ing skill known to man, is being ex
erted with the openlrig of Spring to
bring abou the, early corqpetion of
both lines to thhj point. There luuj ecu
no cessation in the transportation of
supplies tp. this section by either com
pany a,nd both are prepared for work
upon an enormous Scale.
Representative officials from both tho
Oregon Trunk Line and the Deschute
Railroad Company have made tours o
inspection within the past feiy days 'frorr
the mouth of the P,eschutes to Madras.
The early pajt of the week Chief Engin
eer Bocehke of the reschqtes Railroad,
was in, the cjty, js reported, and look
ed oyer thp. work, in thi,? yjcin,ity, and ex
pressed hitri8elf as hejngrjuite well pleas
ed with the prospects of the completion
of the road to. this point during the com
ing Summer.
About tlie heaviest work on the Des
chutes Road is encountered near tho
mouth p,f Trout Creek, where Contract-;
or Calahan. lias the contract foe about
six miles p.f grade, a greater part of
which is along the side of a cliff, making
laborious work and necessarily slow
progress. Mr. Calahan, on taking tho.
contract, stated that it would take him
18 months to complete the work, and
from the progress of the Deschutes linq
at this time it seems quite probable tha$
that road will reach tiiis point during
the latter part of the coming Surfliner.
Saturday evening-Johnspn Porter, P.ftO
of the contractors on thp Pregon Trunk
Line, former Chief Engineer Ivyle, bu,
recenty .elected vice-president pf th$
line, the newly appointed chief engineer,
Ralph Budd, and Assistant Engineer
Baxter, arriyed in Madras, having tray?
eled from the mouth of the Deschutes
River, the trip being made on foot and
on horse-back, for the piirposejof inspect-;
ing the work now Under way, and en
deavoring two devise means to hasten,
the work as much as possible, consider
ing the impediments of the weather.
During thp past few months the rail-?
road work, has been greatly handicapped
because of there being so rqu.ch frost in,
the ground, but fair progress has been,
made notwithstanding these difficulties,
which to an inexperienced person would
have been disheartening.
The greatest problem, possibly, had
been the freighting of supplies from
Shnniko, and this has been accomplished
in a very successful manner.
The Oregon Trunk Line officials left
Sunday morning for The Dalles, tho
headquarters of Porter Bros , whero ad
ditional efforts will bo in ado to send
every railroad laborer that can possibly
be secured up the Deschutes canyon for
work upon the Oregon Trunk.

resentative Ellis' bill authorizing tho
