FORTUNATE CENTRAL OREGON.
Tlie most important an
nouticeiuent that has been made
concerning this part of the state
Bince the stating that actual
railroad building had com
menced into Central Oregon,
comes this week when Presi
dent Louis W-llijl, announces
4hat he will spend the summer
in Oiegon and inauguiate one
of the greatest colonization
movements and publicity cam
paigns ever opened in any sec
tion. Vast regions of hitherto
unsettled countty have been
brought to be thickly populat
ed and prosperous regions un
der the Hill guidance in Mon
tana and other states which
have been fortunate enough to
come under the eyes of these
. premier developers, and with so
many great resources, magniii
ceut climate and other natural
attractions, Mr. Hill very rea
sonably thiuks that the same
efforts toward getting new set
tlers started this way that have
been expended in these other
less favored states ought to
bring wonderful results in in
ducing settlers to come to Cen
tral Oregon. -
In an interview in Portland
Mr. Hill says :
"We started iu Montana.
What we accomplished there is
well known. Everyone is sat
isfied with the result. - Mon
tana was less known, and re
garded by the world as less in
Tiling than Oiegon. Thousands
of homeseekers have flocked iu
-there, and are planting. the soil.
-"What we did in Montana
should be easier here, with less
energy, and the same energy
here should produce twice the
results. The world already
tnows Oregon, its climate, soil,
fruits and other products. When
we connect the bomeseeker di
rectly with his Oregon oppor
tunity, there should be great
results."
Mr. Hill does not worry about
any alleged semi-arid condition
found in portions of the coun
try east of the Cascade Mount
ains. He simply replies to
questions on this score:
"Montana had regions th
were thought arid and nonsui
ed to agriculture. People Were
prone to say of the region east
of, the Rocky Mountains 'That$
is too far west and too far'
north.' But they lind Montana j $
one of the most inviting home
districts yet opened in the west, j
Great Falls laud office has re
ceived more homestead filings
in the last six months than any
other land office of the United
States had ever received before
in one year. Further inquiry
shows that one of our new dis
tricts, of which the Glasgow
laud oflics is the
CIRCUIT COURT
Ncwb from the circuit court now in
session at rrincvillo in briof is ne fol
lows :
Only one indictment was returned by
the grand jury, that against Dell Eads
of Taulina, charging him with the larce
ny of Gilbert Luwson's wad of some
thing near $180 which the latter lost on
the street in rrincville and which is
alleged to have been picked Up and
claimed ns his own by Ends. Eads is on
irinl.
"Willis Brown of Heisler was foreman
of the imuul jury. Other members
were Charles Foote, J. F. Blanchnrd and
Colonel F. Smith.
The trial of C. Sam Smith was post
poned until Octobor on account of one
important witness being unable to
appear.
Chriatal llartmnn has been Uncharged
by the Rrand jury, this body failing to
indict him on the charge of attempting
to kill tho Franks "boy with a shotgun
several weeks ago.
All the Madras people who werq
bound over on charges of violating the
local option and gambling laws havo
been discharged.
A large number of witnesses wore sub
poenaed from here in connection with
an effort to wipe out' that portion of
Madras known as "Yakima Avycnue."
Only one witness was examined and the
effort came to naught.
The case brought by A. P. Clar,k
charging forgery against A. C. Ruby in
connection with tho purchaso of a stal
lion was dismissed. Tho other mem
bers of tho company havo purchased
Mr. Clark's interests and assert that so
long as the horse is as represented they
have no complaint to make.
Three Italian rock workers on the
Oregon Trunk grade were injured Tues
day night near the Ed, Campbell ranch
by the unexpected explosion of a blast.
One man lost an eye and his face was
terribly lascerated while the others es
caped with less serious injuries. They
were brought to the local company hos
pital and then taken to Shaniko, the one
most seriously injured being taken to
Portland. They had discharged a set ol
blasts, but one tailed to go off. When
they began stirring around the loaded
hole it exploded.

Stx hundred kegs of powder were fired
in one charge in a big blast in Willow
Creek canyon last Friday afternoon on
the Oiegon Trunk Line grade. Several
residents ol this city went to witness the
event and say that they were well rcpitcl
for the tup. A huge mass of earth and
rock was lifted into the air to a height of
100 feet or more and kept practically in
tact until the descent commenced The
mass tell on the opposite side of the can
yon from whence it was loosened. Con
trary to general cxpection there was no
loud report accompanying the blast.
CM. Dizncy has completed the taking
of the census of Madras and vicinity, but
slates that he is not allowed to make the
report public at this lime. The popula
tion is growing so rapidly that at this
time an ollicml count of the inhabitants
under the census will hot to any degree
give a satisfactory idea of the number of
persons here any way. There are hun
dreds of laborers and transients in Mad
ras who cannot be officially counted in
the census, yet so far as business and
economic conditions are concerned are
actually a part of the town's population .
Madras is the busiest town in Central
Oregon.
