A.DVKHTI8ING UATK8 ON APFMCATION
Kntercd as second class matter August
21), 1904, at the Postofflco nt Madras, Ore
under tlio Actof Congress of March R, 187H,
THURSDAY - AUGUST 4, 1910
HECLECT IS ONLY DANGER.
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.

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,
