COMPANY Failure of Francis J. Heney, special prosecuter for the Gov ernment, to dismiss Thursday the two cases against John N. Williamson, ex-Congressman, when he dismissed the land-fraud indictments against Binger Her man and others, has led to spec ulation as to the connection this action has with opposition to the confirmation of William H. Hunt's appointment as Judge of the newly created Court of Com merce, says the Oregonian. To dismiss the two Williamson cases at this time, it is said, after one case has been to the United States Supreme Court and Judge Hunt's decisions upon the admission of evidence over ruled, would place Judge Hunt in an unfavorable light. Judge Hunt i3 said to have favored Heney throughout the trial of the Williamson - Gesner-Biggs case, resulting in the conviction of all three, and charges of bias have been made against him. The same evidence was intro duced against them all, as they were tried jointly. After Judge Bellinger died, Judge Dehaven of San Francisco was sent to Portland, and took up the land fraud trials. He ex cluded some of Heney's evi dence. The story is told that Heney went to Judge DeHaven in chambers for a private confer ence, and was told to make any statements he desired in open court. Heney, it is said, then secured the transfer to Portland of Judge Hunt. A peculiar cir cumstance in this connection is that the evidence which Judge Dehaven excluded, but which Judge hunt admitted, is the same evidence upon which the Wil liamson case was reversed in the Supreme Court. adras State Bank MADRAS, OREGON IANSACTS A GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS Money transmitted to all parts of United States and Canada J.

Railroad Grading Completed GAMPS HAVE BROKEN UP Commissary Will Remain Several Weeks-Steel Track Only SO Miles Away Railroad work upon the grade is almost a thing of the past in this vicinity as with one or two exceptions, construction is com pleted north of Madras to where the tracklaying is progressing. At camp 6 there is a few more days' work upon the grade and betwehn here and Trout Creek there is a trestle reported not quite completed, but these places will not delay the tracklayers as both will be completed several weeks before they are reached by the bands of steel. Camp 1 in the western part of of Madras commenced breaking up last week, and the laborers have either sought jobs in other localities or returned to Portland. Porter Bros', commissary in this city will be maintained a month or six weeks longer or until all of the work in this vicinity is finished and the employes move out. Engineer Griswold says that up to the last advices he received 60 miles of track had. been laid and that the tracklayers were about 60 miles of Madras. All of the grading is practically com pleted between this city and the tracklayers so that they will not be deterred by any obstacles being in their road. It is mostly guess work setting a definite date for the arrival of the construction train at Madras, but it is thought that the locomo tive will be puffing into this place soon after the first of February. MRS. ARMSTRONG DIES t i Mrs Annie Armstrong, wife of Robert Armstrong, passed away at her home near Culver Thursday evening December 22, 1910.

Deep Well For Deschutes Road The Central Oregon Well Drill ing Co. has completed arrange ments for drilling a 1000-foot well for the Deschutes Railroad Company at their station which will be located in Porter Spring canyon. Mr. N. C. Jansenn of the well-drilling company re turned from Portland last week where he had been to arrange the preliminaries for the drilling contract. This station is about four miles from the mouth of Trout Creek where the Des ehutes Railroad leaves' the Des chutes Canyon and is about 12 miles from Madras. As yet it has not been honored by a name. Madras For Quaker Oats The report is that the "Quak er Oat" company is to establish a manufacturing establishment in Eastern Oregon. There are many reasons why Madras should be the logical location for such an institution. Among them being that it is located in the largest grain producing section in the state, with a quality of cereals which is unsurpassed. Then again, Madras is traversed by two railway systems whose lines penetrate all portions of the Northwest. HE ADQUARTERS y 1 .5C hill? For SANTA GLAUS Say, Cen tral, I have arrived at the C. O. M.
