Henry for the first ten miles of the Oregon Trunk grade south from Madras arrived here yeeterday. A number of their men and a nart of their grading equipment will reach this place by tho end of the week and the work will be commenced at once. Messrs. Kennedy & Fraser are from Bpokane. They have been doing work on the Milwaukee, and are men of large experience in railroad construe tion. mi..' f t .... . . juieir principal camp lor tins work is to be established somewhere npar the Dombrowe ranch about 4J miles south west of town. Messrs. Kennedy and traser have gone out over the -right of way today to inspect -the character of the work to be done and look after the selection of the camp site. The engineering features of this work will come under the tcsidency of Engi neer H. IS. ttaird, who has had his headquarters for the past month at the Dombrowe ranch. The heaviest por tion of this ten-mile stretch will be between Madras and the Dombrowe place, there being some big cuts and nils between these points. After these. nave been passed, the work on south in the Methodist Hill district and across Opal Prairie will be compara lively smooth sailing. Porter Bros, contract includes all the grading to the southern boundary of of the depot grounds and yards for the Madras station. Baseball Game Next Sunday It will be Madras against Shaniko on the local grounds next Sunday after noon, and the local people are promised a redhot contest. The strength of the visitors is not known here, but it is safe to predict that they will come with the best bunch of players they can gather up all the way from Antelope to Moro. Neither is it known just who will compose the Madras team, but they will give the visitors a run for their money. The local grounds have been much improved by the erection of a grandstand behind the backstop and hereafter the spectators will be com pelled to stand back from the home plate and side lines so that everyone can see tho game and the players will have a chance to play. The game is scheduled to begin at 2:30. Admission will be 25 cents and a charge of 15 cents additional will be collected from those who make use of the grandstand. Six and Half Pound Dolly Varden Trout John Mayes snagged on to a big Dolly Vnrden trout last Tuesday in the Deschutes about a mile above the mouth of Willow creok, and although le had no reel on his rigging, he was successful in landing the big fish. The dolly measured 23 inches in length and weighed tij pounds. Mr. Mayes said he cjould not lift the fish out with tho pole, but just dragged him out hand over mnd. Ho had on a bait of four big tront flies, and tho dolly grabbed hold as soon as tho bait struck the water. It is now claimed that the "D. V." on these fiBh does not mean Dolly Var- en it has been changed to Deschutes Valley. Location for Brick Hotel Is Selected The location of the line 130,000 brick hotel, construction of which is soon to bo commenced in Madras by the M. E. Thompson Co , selling agents for the Madras Townsito Company, is to be on the west side of Main streot on the first corner north of the Green Hotel, which site is tho southwest corner of the Madras Addition. L. C. Hendricks, who has charge of arrangements for the building here, i now busy with estimates of coats and with plans for netting materials assem bled for beginning the work. Getting Ready to Build Auto Garage J. C Robinson has decided to build his new machine shop and auto garaee on the lot just eaBt of Tucker & Culp'e blackemith shop. The building will be 50x50 feet and will front eouth. Mr. Robinson expects to leave for Portland next Sunday for the purpose of pui chayjng some more machinery for the mnchine shop, including a large iron lathe, a press drill and a vulcan izer. As soon as he returns from the city the construction of the building will be commenced. It will be some time in June that the new shop will open for business. BOTH OSE ONE TRACK Rival Roads Swap Advantages MEANS SAVING TO BOTH Oregon Trunk Will Build Completo Line Harrlman Trains Will Use Tracks and Bridges Estimated Cost of Water System J. B. Frem, a representative of the Fairbanks, Morse Co., was in Madras this week, and while here he gave esti mates on tne prooanie cost ot a pump ing plant for a well system of city water works. He believes that a gas oline pumping outfit with a capacity to furnish pientjrof water for Madras can be installed for $1000. This estimate is given on the basis of lifting the water 150 feet. Those who have given the subject some thought say that with arrinvest mentof $2000 or $2500 more, that water mains could be run all over town, giv ing the city fair protection against fire and the residents a supply of pure well water for household use.

A, Eadea, 4J miles southwest of Mad- ruB. uuu-41'p President John F. Stovens of the Gr egon Trunk announces that this road will ultimately connect with the Pacific & Fastern which is being built east from Medford to Butte Falls. By this route it will be only 200 miles from Madras to the Rogue river valley. The Oregonian has the following: To permit a revision of the charter, special meetings of the trustees and stockholders of the Oregon Trunk Rail way were held Wednesday afternoon at Vancouver, when it was agreed that the charter be revised to permit the construction of the Oregon Trunk Rail way to Medford from ths present pro posed terminus at the northern bound ary of the Klamath Indian Reservation. This revised charter will be filed shortly in the state of Washington and at Salem. Medford is distant some 70 miles from the Oregon Trunk Railway surveys. art of this distance will be covered by the construction of the Pacific & East ern, which is now controlled by John F. Stevens, as far as Butte Falls. President Stovens said last night there was no intention immediately on the part of either the Pacific & East ern or the Oregon Trunk to construct from Medford to a connection. Person ally no present arrangements had been made beyond Butte Falls and nothing further was yet contemplated. He admitted that tho power had been obtained, bo that either road could construct from Butte Falls to the Ore gon Trunk when it was deemed neces sary. "Butte' Falls is the present terminus of tho Pacific & Eastern," said Mr. Stevens, "and there is no present in tention of going further. "As to any thought of tho Pacific & Eastern building to the Bluo Ledge mine or to the Coast, that may.be de nied with every possible force. There is not tho slightest intention to build to the mine and never will be. "The coast line may be built in the dim und misty future. But it will be n very, very long time off, if ever. "But most prominently of all I want to deny tho thought of any extention of the racinc s eastern irom mitte f alls or in any other direction." The Hill and Harriman lines again have come to an understanding. This time it is the tracks on the lines to Central Oregon that are affected, says the Oregonian. The two principal points in conflict on tho lines of the Deschutes Railroad and Oregon Trunk Railway have been adjusted so that the Deschutes Rail road shall have the running rights over the 12 miles on the east bank of the river where the Oregon Trunk had filed its surveys in the United States Land Office ahead of the Deschutes Railroad, thus shutting out the latter road. Further, the Oregon Trunk bridge at Crooked river is to become free to the Deschutes road trains, and running powers will be given to a point 500 feet south of Redmond. In return for this permission, the Deschutes company will convey to the Oregon Trunk at cost the necessary right of way for the line of the latter through the Smith ranch, possession of which was acquired by the Harriman people. Smith ranch is about mile 75, close to the Warm Springs Reserva tion. In addition the Deschutes company is to grant the necessary permission for tho overhead crossing of the tracks of the Oregon Trunk at Celilo and also conveys, for a consideration, the neces sary rights of way required by the Hill road between Celilo and the mouth of the Deschutes river. This is the pith of an agreement en tered Into between the Oregon Trunk Railway and' the Deschutes Railroad. It has been under consideration ever since the visit to Portland of James J. Hill announced, through the Oregonian, that his road was willing to grant a right of way to the Harriman road on permission being asked of President Stevens. Indians Complain About Boundaries A dispatch from The Dalles dated May 10, says: C. C. Covey, superin tendent of the Warmspring Indian Res ervation, accompanied by four Indians, Ben Wilson, Tullux Holliquilla, Henry Queahpama and Albert Kuckup, left last night for Washington to lay their charge of unjust treatment before the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. They assert that the changca in the reservation boundaries, which have been many, have alwayB taken away portions of their lands, and that now they have not enough for farming. Ben Wilson is a graduate of Chem- awa Indian school and will act as inter preter. The Indians are influential in the agency. Nipped Fire in the Bud Last Monday evening just before six clock one of the attendants in the Gem Restaurant attempted to refill the gasoline tank on the cofTee heater while the flame in the burner was still ighted, and the gasoline caught fire and soon had the interior of the room ablaze. The alarm was quickly sounded volunteers rushed in with several hand chemical extinguishers and Boon had the fire put out. This building is located on the west Bide of Main Btreet where there is a continuous range of wooded buildings, and had the fire got beyond control it is almost certain that every house in the row would have been destroyed.
