BIG DISPLAY OF FIRE WORKS IS COMIHG Sports Will Bo Groat Attraction Largo Chorus Will Be Drilled For Music At the meeting of the committees for the Fourth of July celebration held Monday evening at San ford's Hall more or less progress was reported most of the committees being unable to go ahead with their work untill a defi nite report could bo had from the fi nance committee witti regard to the amount of funds available. The li nauee committee reported. cash on hand in uie sum 01 fyu.ou wttn too more (subscribed that lias not been collected Added to this will be receipts for con cessions for stands, the proceeds from the dance, while the committee is de bating the question of charging men Hdmietion to the baseoall games, while women and children are to be admitted free. Altogether it is believed that MOO will be raiped. The committee on arrangements is to delect the grounds this week. All com mittees are to net buey and report to .the committee on arrangements not later than Monday, June 13, when an other meeting will be held. L. F. Rice, the committee on fireworke, was apportioned his share of the funds and the pyrotechnics have been ordered. W. R. Cook was appointed chairman of the sports committee, the vacancy having been made by the departure of Ralph Sharp. ftow that the doubt on the question of the funds has been settled the com mittees promise to get to work in real earnest and next weeks meeting will surely show something definite. The committee on music has called a meeting of all the singers who will as Hist on the program at the Christian Church next Sunday evening at 6:30. Many entile have been sent out, but any one who can sing is requested to come to the rehearsal as it is desired to get as large a choir together oh io:eiule St. Claire Thomas will have the drill ing of the chorus. TRAINS TO MADRAS ON NOVEMBER I Oregonian: The time now set for the operation of trains over the Des chutes Railroad (Harriman) into Mad ras is November 1. Track has been laid up the canyon for 21 miles, where further progress is awaiting the com pletion of a bridge over a tributary of the main river. Were it not for tun nel work and viaduct construction the rails would bo laid into Madras much sooner. About 3500 men are now em ployed on the work. Tracklaying on the Oregon Trunk Millinery AND LADIES' HABERDASHERY I have a new and com- H plete stock of latest milli nery and ladies furnishings PARLOR LOCATED AT CLARK ROOMINC HOUSE 45 g Mrs. L E. Akeyson Line, It is Haid at the general offices of the road, will probably begin about August 1, nnd it iu expected by that time the grade will be in condition so bo that the tracklaying can continue without interruption to Madras and possibly to Crooked River. Rails will be laid at the rate of about two miles a day, so there is a good prospect that the Oregon Trunk will also be ready to operute trains to the interior by November 1. It is said, however, by un officer of the road, that until the Columbia River bridge at Celilo is com pleted, trains operated will probably be mixed.' Transfer to the North Bank will be made by ferry. The Celilo bridge will probably not be comnleted before next Summer. There are employed at present on Porter Brothers' portion of the Oregon Trunk contract about 4100 men. H. C. Henry, who has the contract for grad ing the road from Madras south, is en gaged in getting his outfits on the ground. FARMERS WILL HAVE GREAT PICNIC DAY The Farmers Union will observe "Flag Day," Tuesday, June 14, with a big picnic and basket dinner to be held at Madras. Morning and afternoon sessions are being arranged for, the morning meeting to be a closed busi ness session. F. A. Sikes, state presi dent of the Farmers Educational and Co-operative Union, will be present and and address the afternoon meeting to which the general public is cordially invited to be present. President Sikes is a fluent and instructive speaker upon farming topics, and those hearing his talk will find their time spent most profitably. The basket dinner will be a notable feature of the day, and the farmers and their wives are on the alert to make this spread eclipse the former dinners they have served. Everyone is invited to come, bring their baskets and enjoy the hospitality of the farm ers. WORKING ON GRADE SOUTH Many Laborers Ar riving Daily OREGON TRUNK DRILL- - INC DEEP WELLS GradlngNorth Of Madras Nearly Com pleted, Excepting Rock Work Near Trout Creek REGISTRATION OF VOTERS COMMENCES Registration of voters for the state election November 8 begun last Tues day morning, Justice of the Peace F. Brooks will attend to the registra tion of voters in Kutcher (Madras) pre cinct. The date of the primary nominating election is Sept. 24. The first registration period extends until September 15, when the registra tion books will be closed for the pri mary election.

LABORER KILLED BY BLAST Mike Verkmonoviek, an Austrian rock worker 31 years old, was instantly killed by an explosion of dynamite in the Callihan tunnel on the Deschutes Railroad laBt Thursday evening at about 5:30. This tunnel is in the victn- ty of Sagebrush Springs. The man was terribly mutilated. At the time the accident occurred there was no one in the tunnel except the foreman nnd the man who was killed. It is thought that a shot had been fired to spring a hole for a larger charge, and that the first explosion had so heated the rock that when the heavier charge was inserted the heat set it otf. CLERK EATS BIG TROUT County Clerk Warren Brown furnish es undeniable proof lhat big trout can be caught in Crooked River near Mud niH, liia letter to u friend bete he says; "PleiiHe accept my thanks lor a por lion of the nice trout sent to Mr G.

Malgaret . liach- mant Rev, Father Cantwell of Kingsley, Oregon, olllcuting. I he marriage Mas sol mnized m Ihe'piebtncc ol a lew Irirnds. Mr. and Mis. Wilson will make their home nt the Gomer place just south ol he German church ut Metliudbt Hill. Railroad construction outfits, labor ers, machinery, supplies and horses have been passing through Madras to the south in an almost continuos stream during the past week, and are stringing out all alom: the Oregon Trunk right of way from Madras to the northern part ol Klamath county. Work on the H. C. Henry contract of 125 miles will soon be in full swing at nearly all points of this t ivision and the .owns of Redmond Bend and districts couth of the latter (.lace are taking on an activity as a re- Hult ot the influx of laborers never before known. Construction work on the divisions oi both the Oregon Trunk and Deschutes lines north of Madras is progressing in line shape. The Oregon Trunk people are plugging away on the heavy rock work and tunneis between this place and the mouth ol Trout Creek night and day. The Wt rk in the Fourth Division will be completed long belore the first of Nov ember, which date is named as the probable one on which trains will first reach Madras. On the Deschutes line the grade from the north of Trout Creek to a point several miles south of Madras is practi cally completed with the exception, of the Calligan tunnel in the Sagebrush Springs vicinity. Dwyer forces which have been work ing 011 the fill north of town where the Deschutes line makes the level of Agency Plains, have been moved to other points if the work. Kennedy and Fraer, the sub contrac tors lor the first 10 miles south from Hading on the Henry contract are in itreucing their forces daily. They are working on a hfavy cut near the cross ronton at the Hahn homestead corner where their camp is located and are us ing the excavated eaith on a till just this side of there. Another local feature of the railroad work that is attracting coiiRiderable in terest is the undertaking or the Oregon Trunk people to (it ill a set of deep wells on the Doinbrowe place 4 miles south ot town. One of the largest well drill ing outfits manufactured is now on the grounds and is being made ready for operation by an experienced well-driller who has long followed this vocation with the railroad company. The ma chine has a capacity of sinking an even half mile. It 1b driven by a 25 11. P. steam engine. An innovation for this section in the matter of fuel for steam ing the boiler will be used, in that crude oil will be the tuel burned. A galvan ized iron tank 12 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep was hauled in front Shaniko this week as a reset voir for the oil. It lias a capacity nar 9,000 gallons. The oil will be shipped toSh-niko in car tanks, drained off into wagon tanks for the haul to Madras and from these tank- wagons drawn into the big vat which connects with the boiler furnace. The railroad people hav figured this sstem to be cheaper and more satisfactory for their requirements than to use wood for fuel. Everything is now in readiness to start the drill as coon as the tirst oil supply arrives. If water is struck in the well, it will be used to supply loco inottvufi for hoth the Oreuon Trunk and Deschutes lines which ruu in close prox imity nt that point.
