OLSON, Manager MADRAS, - - OREGON TRAINS BY JANUARY 1 Much Grading Is Completed SOON BEGIN LAYING RAILS Stretch Opposite Reservation May Be Last To Finish Late Start and Heavy Work. Oregon Trunk trains will be running into Madras by January 1, 1911. This seems to be the date when the Hill line will be able to push a train out of the Deschutes canyon on to the rich Cen tral Oregon plains. With the exception of the 12-mile stretch opposite the Warmspring In dian Reservation, all of the grading between the Columbia River and Mad ras could be finished by September 1. The commencement of work on this twelve-mile stretch, which includes the Smith Ranch, was delayed more than two months by right of way Bquabbles between the Hill and Harriman roads. When these disputes were settled by the trackage agreements, and the Oregon Trunk was able to start con struction work on this section, work had been undr way along other por tions of the right of way for many weeks. Now it appears that the "sticker" will be on this 12-mile sec tion, about 3 miles of which includes some of the heaviest rock work en countered on the entire route, one big tunnel and a series of deep rock cuts that will require time to negotiate. The close of the present month will see an almost continuous finished grade from Madras north to the mouth of Trout creek, with the exception of the wooden bridges to be constructed, two of which are long ones. These can be built in two to three weeks, it is said, once the materials are on the grounds, and the timbers are now being hau ed from the Willow Creek sawmills as fast as they can be cut. The big tunnel in Willow Creek can yon two miles below Madras, was opened through last Friday, and will soon be finished. Laying of steel is to" be commenced at the mouth of the Deschutes early next month, and not an unnecessary day will intervene before passengers will be unloading at the Madras depot. The Oregon Trunk lihe has closed a contract with the Auto Gas Engine Company, of Chicago, for installing 11 water stations on the road between Celilo and Metolus, the new division town to be established four miles south of Madras. Two of these stations in the Des chutes Canyon will be supplied with water from gravity sources and at all others, 'the water, with the exception of that at Metolus, will be pumped from the Deschutes River. One water supply station will be at Merlina, the helper station just below Warmspring Ferry, and another some where in Willow Creek canyon. There will be no water station at Madras. The big well being drilled by the Hill company at Metolus, 4 miles south of Madras is now down 84 feet, the hole being 12 inches in diameter. Casing has been ordered and is now on tne road, meanwhile the work is held up. A layer of black volcanic dust or sand has been encountered, which has artesian tendencies and forces itself up in the bo torn of the drill hole four or five feet. As. fast as this ashes is taken out, more forces itself in. The casing will have to be put down before further progress can be made. Mr. Kelly, tho driller, thinks it will be ueccssary to sink about 600 feet to get water there. The company is prepared to go down a half mile, if water is not struck at a less depth. GARLETZ TESTIFIES AGAINST HIMSELF f.lniul W. finrlotz. accused of steal ing a diamond ring from Ida Fisher, his alleged wifo, appeared to answer in Police Court Thursday and was maue tho first witness for tho prosecution against himself, says tho Oregonian, This unusual proceeding wus taken with the approval of Judge Bennet, and over the protest of the defense, to show by the testimony of Gnrletz that he and the complaining witness were not legally married, whereby making it possible to use her testimony against him. It was the contention of the de fense that the Fisher woman is the wife or Garletz and, therefore, cannot testify against him. Garletz told the court he had been married three times, the last time to Miss Fisher at Vancouver, a few weeks after he had been divorced from an other wife at Astoria. Knotty legal points were brought up by the attor neys in this connection. The prosecu tion declared that the divorce proceed ings at Astoria might be invalid in which case Garletz was still married to his former wife, while if they were valid, the re-marriage within six months is invalid. Judge Bennett pointed out that the six-months per iod, being technically for the purpose of allowing an appeal, might not apply to the defendant, who could waive his right to appeal and remarry at will, He held, however, that the Fisher wom an was a competent witness against Garletz and ordered her testimony taken. Miss Fisher said Garletz persuaded her that they could be legally married, saying that he had had the advice of an attorney on the question. Soon af ter the marriage ceremony, she said, Garletz persuaded her to lend him $500 with which to enter the saloon busi ness, and took from her a diamond ring, which he fashioned into a scarf pin. She said that he took it from her finger violently. Soon after getting the diamond, which was valued at $150, Garletz dis appeared and for a long time, Miss Fisher says she did not know where he was. Finally she located him at Mad ras and his arrest followed. Garletz said the woman gave the ring freely. He was held to the grand jury. LIFE CRUSHED OUT BENEATH WAGON WHEEL C. M. Dunbar, a freighter, who has been living near Lamonta, was thrown from a loaded freight wagon last Eri- day morning at about 10 o'clock and killed. The accident ocenrred on the Cow Canyon road about 5 miles west of Shaniko. Dunbar is said to have been drinking. Harry Pitzer, of Grizzly, another freighter, was following some distance behind and when he came up with Dunbar's outfit found a front wheel of the wagon resting- upon the victim's neck and chest. Pitzer said there was no indication of a struggle. The body was taken back to Shaniko and word sent to the wife. It was an nounced that the burial would take place at Antelope, but later Mrs. Dun bar decided to ship the remains to their former home in Iowa. Dunbar had not lived in this county long. He with his wife and two children had been camped at a ranch on Willow Creek north of Lamonta, while the man engaged in freighting. Dun bar was about 85 years of age. OSCAR COX HURT IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT Oscar Cox. a prominent Lamonta farmer, was mixed up in a ruuaway accident Monday and seriously injured. He was coming down the road from Lamonta Gap, with a header-box on his wagon, when the team started to run. In his efforts to check them he was pulled out of the wagon, and his foot caught in tho wagon gear, letting his body drag on the ground. With Mr. Cox in this precarious position the horses ran for over a quarter of a mile and were finally stopped by the Bate son boy. Mr. Cox wos badly bruised and skin ned about the back and shoulders, his arm and chest were injured, and his ankle, which was caught in the wagon, was torn and lascerated to the bone.
