Owing to the short interval
between Railroad Day and the
day. of publication the Pioneer
is unable to handle this issue
all of the news happening dur
ing that event and promises its
readers a supplementary ac
count next week. There were
so meny incidents of interest
to Madras and the surrounding
countrv that the Pidneer is anx

of them.
GREAT: POSSIBILITIES
FOR CENTRAL OREGON
Railroad transportation to Central
Oregon is about to become a reality.
The announcement of traffic manager
Coman, of the Oregon Trunk, that train
service wtll be established on March 1
from the Columbia River to a distance
of 110 miles, means that another vast
region has been added to Portland's al
ready extensive territory. While Me
tolius will be only a temporary terminus
for the line, the difficult and costly con
struction of the "trunk" line up the
Deschutes has been practically come
pleted, and the matter of extending the
main line and its branches through all
parts of Central Oregon will be com
paratively easy.
It would be difficult for Portland or
for Central Oregon to overestimate the
value of the new line. To an over
whelming extent the unparalled pros
perity that haB prevailed in Madras and,
extending to Portland during the past
. two years is directly tracable to the
building of the North Bank and the
Hues up the Deschutes Canyon.
Even more satisfactory results will
follow th- opening of the Oregon Trunk
which is a feeder for the North Bank
and the opening of the Deschutes Rail
road, a feeder for theO.-W. R. & N. line
for while these, lines -give a water-level
outlet to a region that was dependent
on the old overland route to The Dalles
and Shaniko, these roads have opened
up a region that until the present time
has been without transportation facili
ties of any kind.
With the announcement of the open
ing of the Oregon Trunk road for traffic
there appeared uews of the enthusiastic
' reception accorded the Oregon exhibi
tion pars which the Hill lines are send-
.ing througethe Eastern States.
Having made Central Oregon a hab
itable place, Mr. Hill and also the Har
riman interests are busily engaged in
rustling new Bettlers to aid in develop
ing a traffic for the new roads. Hun
dreds of new settlers have found homes
in Central Oregon during the past year,
and the first car load over the Harri
man system is expected to arrive at
Madras the last of next week. From
present indications the 1911 movement
will be the greatest in the history of the
state. Central Oregon has been discov
ered. STOCK YARDS
(Continued from puge 1)
Cjnjpany were notable to hau
die it,' or ruther found Unit
their capacity was not large
enough to handle wool and
wheat together. Also stating
that if it was neceesaiy thai
Mr. Budd could take one of tlx
best crews of carpenters on tin
construction and place them to
woik on t'he warehouse, which
could be completed inside of ten
days, Thfa was not deemed
necessary, but a warehouse will
be built as soon as the occ.a
sion repuires and the railroad
company has agreed to furnish
a wool press at the warehouse
aud advertise to have the wool
soles at Mdra8-
In maltfng these improve
raents Mr. Budd called Mr. St-v
eos attention to the fact lhat an
additonal amount of industral
track would be necessary, in
view of the addition that th
Madras Union Warehouse Com
pany had made application for,
nnd Mr. Stevens ordered 1000
feet more aiding to be built at
once. Division Engineer Gris
wold was instructed to com
uiepctt woikas soou as possible
with the survey. This additional
sidiug will extend a consider
able distance south on the
Sieinke tract. ,
Attention wnslica,Ued to the
fact that 1000 head; of fat sheep
were on the hillsvcbse by await
ing trau sportatio.ilft .eiug those
of PraukCpx of iPrlueville. Ii
had been expected that they
would be shipped from' Vanora,
but Mr. C2C would
pay him to wait a few'days un
til the railroad company could
bring their cars to Madras, rath
er thati to drive across the
plains, this the railroad agreed
to do, and nK-o agreed to have
the cars at Madras so as to load
Friday morning. M. Harding,
traveling freight agent, was in
structed to remain here aud ac
company this shipment toiis
destination which ia Portland,
and is (lie tirst shipment to be
sent out of inland empire of
Central Oregon, aud the Des
chutes Valley.
Harriman Officials
(Continued from page 1)
Oregon, as the party is expected
to arrive at the end of the Des
chutes Railroad about the 21 of
this month from Muskogen,
Illinois.
Chief Engineer Boschke said
the Deschutes Railroad would be
extended to Madras just as soon
as possible, which would not be
over six weeks, and assured his
hearers that no one need fear
riding over the road as the track
was laid upon bedrock to the
Columbia River, and that the
bridges were constructed under
the very best methods known to
the engineering world. Mr.
Boschke also said that it is ex
pected that bridges across Trout
Creek will be completed about
April 1st and the road south of
Madras will be completed during
the early summer.
This was the first trip for
some of the men into the Des
chuues country, and they desired
thoroughly to familiarize them
selves with conditions here, so as
to be able better to handle the
business that promises to result
as soon as the line is opened for
traffic.
As the road nears completion,
inquiries for both freight and
passenger service become fre
quent. On the present trip the
officials have come into personal
contact with prospective patrons
of the road and will be in a posi
tion to learn . of the individual
needs of the several commnities
on the line.
CULVER TO CELEBRATE
It is learned that the Culver
Junction people are planning to
have a trout barbecue to cele
brate the arrival of the Deschutes
Railroad at that place. The fish
ing season will be on by that
time and it is expected to make
a requision upon the Deschutes
and Crooked rivers for their spe
cialty on the bill of fare.
Provided no incident occurs to'
prevent it is expected this cele
bration will transpire in April.
THE POULTRY BUSINESS
Mrs. T. F. LcCallister has a White
Holland turkey hen which haB been on
regular duty as an, egg producer for
more-than a year. During this time
240 eggs have been laid. About half
this number is considered a good output
for 51, single turkey. Prineville fJop
na).' If thiB turkey hen could give her ex;
perience, she would no doubt say that
the climate is'so delightful in Central
Oregon that it was pleasure to lay eggs
all the year around.
In fact there is hardly any section of
the state better adapted to all phases of
the poultry buslneaa than Central Ore-
sou.
Right Given to

cil of Madras, to the county
court for permission to lay a
