In
ii is my nonest benel that you
won't know Madras a year from now.
I am not making any promises nor do I
want to prophesy, but I do not believe
mat you win Know madras in a year
from now."
Brimful of enthusiasm, unaffected,
confident and optimistic to the highest
degree Louis W. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railroad and son of the
great James J. Hill, talked to the as
sembled citizens of Madras and vicm
ity last Saturday afternoon in the San
ford Hall about the great plans of the
railroad interests he .represents in the
work of bringing desirable homeseek-
ers to Central Oregon.
"There was never a time so oppor
tune in the history of the world for the
beginning of such work as we have in
mind as the present." said Mr. Hill.
The desire to get back to the land is
stronger in the minds of the people
than ever before and with such great
areas open to settlement as Central
Oregon has today, with every attrac
tion of productive soil, and delightful
climate, I anticipate that our task will
be a comparatively easy one of bring
ing people here by the hundreds of
thousands. It 13 simply a matter of
putting the opportunity before them
showing what Oregon can do, and they
will come.
"What we ask of the people of Ore
gon is to extend them a neighborly
welcome, show them were they can get
the kind of land they want, give them
the informotion gained through expert
ence, and 11 the people of Madras will
only show them one-tenth of the wel
come they have shown us today it is
safe to say that they will keep every
colonist that comes.
"What we accomplished in the states
of Montana and Washington we intend
to repeat in Ortgon, only on a larger
scale. While in coming this far we
have only reached the border of the
empire we intend to exploit, I have
seen on the way just such land as that
of the Wenatchee country in Washing
ton, which a few years ago could be
bought at $1.75 per acre. One tract
after being planted to fruit trees for
five years was sold recently at over
$1700 per acre. The soil here and other
conditions are almost identical with
those of that region a few years ago.
"We have come into Central Oregon
for the purpose of seeing the country,
to gather data, get exhibits and as
soon as this trip is finished we will be
gin at once our work of organizing
show trains, lecture tours, preparing
illustrated literature, and other means
of bringing this region and its opportu
nities before the people. I have with
mo some spellbinders in the art of
bringing people to the land. When
Mr. Leedy hero was in Boston with one
of our shows, ho was called West.
When he started, 40 people followed
him on the train and went to Montana
and took up land. In one show which
wo opened in Boston, on the second
day, there were twelve thousand peo
ple who visited it. The class of people
wo work among are not the poor for
eign class thoy are people of means
who are able to buy land if necessary
and take up tho work of developing it
as it should be ut once.
"Oregon Trunk trains nre expected
to be running into Madras by about
Christmas time. It may before and it
may be a lit'tle later, but as soon as the
way is open this far tho people will be
gin to come. All that wo nsk, is thut
you treat the nowcomor as your neigh
bor. Wo will advertise tho country,
got tho pictures, prepare tho exhibits,
and build tho railroads for them to
come on, but tho. people hero can do a
great deal for1 this locality by taking
tho trouble to moot tho newcomers,
learn from thonl tho kind of land thoy
Want to got, tclt them whorothpy. can
get it, take an interest in their .welfare
j and encourage them to stay. "
Mr. Hill and his party arrived in
Madras at about 2 o'clock. In the
party beside Louis W. Hill were E. C.
Leedy, general immigration, agent of
the Great Northern Railway, C. C.
Morrison, O. W. Seaton and 0. A. At
wood, all publicity men, William Hart
ley, the well known Harney county
stockman, and R. G. Calvert, a staff
writer of the Oregonian newspaper.
The visitors were met by a large
delegation of Madras people and es
corted to Sanford's Hall where a ban
quet had been prepared. L. F. Rice
welcomed the guests in a brief address
and was followed by Mr. Hill, who said
substantially what is given above.
When the company rose from the
table Mr. Hill and hi3 lieutenants lost
no time in getting busy in their quest
for information about crops and condi
tions. Those who thought to get in
formation from the visitors soon found
that the stream had to flow the other
way. Mr. Hill seemed most interested
in talking with the homesteaders and
wanted no know all about the crops and
conditions met with in bringing the
raw land into cultivation.
When the four autos in the outfit
lined up before starting for Prineville
several photos were taken. Mr. Leedy
and the others while here selected
number 01 photographs 01 local scenes
to be used in their publicity work.
Louis W. Hill doesn't look much like
the newspaper pictures of him. Most
of these give impression of a dark,
and thin ieatured person. the man
himself is more of the blonde type,
brown hair, brown hair and beard and
full features. The color of his eyes
will have to be passed, for they are so
full of life and interest that it would
only De a guess they may be blue or
brown or black. He is a vigorous, well
proportioned man, who talks business
all the time.
On the auto ride he wears kahki
trousers stuffed into high tan boots,
flannel shirt, soft hat and a sporty
brown duck vest, went in his shirt
sleeves and seemed to be enjoying him
self immensely.

MACHINE SHOP AND
AUTOMOBILE GARAGE
Another up-to-date business enter
prise for Madras is announced this
week. J. C. Robinson will shortly be
gin the construction of a building for a
fine new machine shop and automobile
garage at this place, the exact location
of the buildings not being decided as
yet.
While in Portland last week Mr.
Robinson purchased the full equipment
of machinery for the shop, and this lias
already arrived at Shaniko. Besides
the repair shop a complete supply depot
for gasoline, oils, tires and other extras
will be maintained.
This announcement will be welcome
news to the automobile operators, who
have felt the need of such an establish
ment in Madras very keenly during the
past few months. And not only the
auto people will be glad, for the ma
chine shqp will prove a great conven
ience as well to farmers, millmen and,
others who have -work pf this kind to
do. The new shop will draw to Madras
a line of business that has heretofore
been compelled to go elsewhere. It id
safe to predict that the new estab
lishment will.bo-a busy one .from the
first day it is put; in operation. .
GRADING OUTFIT
IS ON THE WAY
Resident Engineer Lyman jGriswold.
of the Oregon Trunk states that a ship
ment of grading outfit, for H..C. Hem
ry, who has the contract for the qxten-
sion of thegrado from this place J25
miles to the north border of the Klam
ath Reservation, is now on .the way Jo
Madras. Tho shipment. is composed of
scrapers, pjows, jiorses, etp., unci pos
sibly a steam Phovel.
"We have no notice of. tbcvpxnct dajo
when .grading will commence," says
Mr. Griswold, "but . jt probably be
within a month at the farthest.
4;This is a short job, comparatively
speaking, and the contract will prob-
abjty be nil completed by tho time the
heavy worjc .up tho canyon, is finished to .
Mitdras."
The construction of a s330)000 brick
hotel is to be commenced in Madras
within less than.0 days by the M. E.
Thompson Company of Portland, sell
ing agents for the Madras -To wnsite Co.
The plans for the new structure are
being prepared in Portland and as soon
as they are finished the excavations for
the basement and foundation work will
begin. The bricks which are being
manufactured at the yard in the east
ern portion of the townsite are to bo
used in the building. -
The hotel is to be two-story, with about
40 rooms, and corresponding accommo
dations for the offices and dining room.
Steam heating systems will be used,
and the new hostelry is to modern in
every detail.
Mr. L. C. Hendricks of the M. E.
Thompson Company is now in the city,
He states that two sites for the hotel
are under consideration and that tlw
one which is to be occupied will be se
lected today.
The first kiln of brick will probably
be ready for the workmen in about 30
days, and it is intended to have all the
basement and foundation work ready
for the superstructure by that time. It
is thought that three or four months
will be required in building the hotel,
but it will be put in shape for occupancy
just as fast as men and materials can.

MADRAS TAKES
PRINEVILLE'S SCALP
Madras won a hard fought battle
from Prineville on the baseball field at
the county fair grounds at the latter
city, with a score of 10 to 6, last Sun
day.
Ed Brown officiated on the slab for
Madras through the entire game and jt
is largely due to his splendidpitching
that the victory was won. He finished
the last two innings stronger than in
the beginning of the game. Hugh Mc
Kinnon, who recently went to Red
mond, backed up the home plate. Mc
Kinnon had the misfortune to get ha
hand injured by the next to the last
ball pitched in the game. Tetherow,
who was playinjr third for Madras.
took McKinnon's place, Brown pitchqd
one more ball, the batter fanned out
and the game was over.
Prineville took the lead in early part
of the game and their supporters were
confidept , that it would be another
scalp to. their credit, but in the seventh
Madrasid things to them, got in the
lead, andn the last two innings Browji
fanned. eKPry batter that came up.
jFrmefcUle had practically the same
ILneiup .that was here at the last game,
except .that Pete Hinkle played first
instead of "Shorty" Foster.
Following is the list of Madras play
ers: McKinnon, catcher; Brown, pitch
er; Galloway, shortstop; Robards, 1st
base; Tetherow, 3d base; Maddron, left
field;, DeJarnett, center field; Peterson,
2d.base: Tallev. riirht field. The two
jngt.n.amed players are new acquisitions
on the Madras team, who work with
the engineering crews south of town.
Several hundred dollars are said to
have changed hands on the game, many
of ,the Prineville fans backing the lad-
rtis leum against men in tneir own
town.
SHANIKO PLAYS MADRAS

There will bo no ball game at Madras
next Sunday, so far as known at this
date, but 0110 week from Sunday, tho
22d, Madias and a team from Shaniko
will cross bats on the local field.
It was impossible to arrange a game
with Crook County teams for next Sun
day on account of tho soriea at Prino
villo, but after the gamo hero with
Shaniko there will probably be a gnmo
on the Madras grounds every Sunday
for several weeks. Galloway, Brown
and DeJarnett of tho local toain may go
to Prinevillo tho last of tho week to
play with tho Redmond team durlntf
tlio tournament,
