There isn't any good reason wjiy the prospectB of the rail road division for the Oregon Trunk being established four miles 8onth of Madras should discourage anyone about th future of this city. The inert fact that a place is a railroad division does not make a city ol it. If people are disposed to believe that a railroad divisioi is the extent of possibilities fui making a cily in this paitol Crook county, the Pioneer is o the opinion thut their view ol the situation is loo narrow to bt of any value. Madras has natural advan tages as a shipping and trading point for the farming territor v that are worth twice as juuch ti her as a railroad division. No deprecating in the least, how ever, that a railroad division h an advantage and a help to an town. This is primarily a farm ing country now. Sofarasthe farming population is regarded. Madras has much the best and "v largest region tributary of any present or speculative town in Central Oregon. It isnot sensi ble to think that the people o Agency Plains and of all th country north and east of thif p'ace will drive through Mad rat up hill tour miles to the pro spective division town of Me to.us. Madras ran undoubtedly lold her-own with the far mi 11 1. t trade. p" With three might rivers ol potential power within a few miles west of the railroad linet here, it would seem that the real basis for the development of a great city in this sectioi will be manufacturing. The hundreds of thousands of horse power now running awaj' down the rock bound canyon will not forever be allowed to go to waste. It will be the town and its promoters who get busy and land the location of the manu facturing concerns that are sure to come, that will build the cit'. The opportunity to build a city somewhere along the rail road lines in northwest Crook is an open proposition, and thai town that shows the most enter prise and offers the most in ducements in the beginn'ng, and gets a start as a manufacturing point, will surely have a utrcng advantage. Madras has a fine start for a .city. She has an undeniable advantage, us an agricultural depot. But it is up to the own ers of the townaite properties, the city government, and the citizens t guide matter toward the end that the growth of the town doesn't stop where the de mands of the trade of the farm ing district would naturally Jet it. If there is anj' danger for the future of Madras it will be in the failure of the owners of the town property and the people to do anything to develop the town so as to attract capital and bu-ine88 neterprises here. Right now we need a water system, a lighting system and street improvement. The fail ure to supply these and other public utilities when they are needed will prove a worde hand icap to Madras than the fact that Oregon Trunk trains will change engines four mile south ol here. , THREE CASES OF DIPHTHERIA DEVELOP Thrco cases of dlphtherinhavo (level oped this week at Ed Campbell placo on the Warmsnrinc road, ten miles from Madras. Howard and Nita Camp bell and Mrs. Bud Fields hcing the nfllictcd ones. Howard Campbell, a lad about 14 years old, first showed the symptoms last Friday, but the serious nature of the enso was not known nt that time. Since then his sister Nita, aged about IB has taken sick, and lastly Mrs. Fields, who lives near the Campbell home. Dr. Edwards was called from Prtnc ville today (Thursday) and visited the Campbell home this nfternoon. The boy is reported to be very bad, and his case tnoy result fatally. A telegraphic order for nutitoxin has been sent to Portland. A number of children nrc said to have been exposed to the tliseuse last Sunday at which time the real nature of the Campbell boy's ailment was not suspicioned. Little Hazel Tucker, the children of Rev. I. D. Brown, Mrs. Ruby Parkey's baby and the children of Mr. Filey were all nt the Campbell home Sunday. So far as known no quarantine has been established. Miss May Campbell was in town today from her home buy ing supplies. The boy is supposed to have contract ed the contagion from some of the rail road workers along the river. Notice For Publication.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF To tho Democratic voters of Crvok county: I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the onice of Sheriff of Crook county, subject to the approval of the voters of the county at the pri mary election to be held in September. Respectfully, T. N. Balfour, Fife, Oregon. It beats all hotv so many of tee things which tickle the palate most arc the hardest to digest. Conducted in as slipshod n manner as the poultry buslnes Is. yet the value of the eggs laid annually in the United States Is twice that, of the total value of all the precious metals mined dur ing a like interval. The automoblllst who will crowd a team off a narrow highway is full brother to the teamster who Is deaf to a chauffeur's toot for half the road and keeps his horses in a slow walk to tantalize the fellow behind him. The work In the garden with hoe or cultivator may be made far more ef fective and satisfactory if tho tools are kept sharp with a good sized broad file. It makes all the difference be tween drudgery and enjoyable work, HoMKSTRAD, Notlco For Publica tion. Department of the Interior, V. S. Land Onlce nt The Dalles, Oregon, June 27, 1010.
