Buckley, tbe well known editor nnd divine, addressing a New York city Sunday school, told of meet ing a ragged, hungry looking lttle girl In tbe street on a wintry day, and when he questioned her she recited a pitiful talo . of a sick mother and younger brothers and sisters without food. After giving her a silver dollar the good doctor followed to see what she would do with the money. "Now. children, what do you suppose was tbe first thing she bought with lhat dollar?' said Dr. Buckley. "Hands up. Up went the hands, and one child after another ventured a guess, but none proved correct Finally a little boy whose upraised hand alone f xnalned was asked for his answer to tho question. "A basket." he sang out. "Correct." said tbe doctor. "There'll a boy who thinks. Now, son. come up here on the platform and tell us why you think It was a basket." Tbe boy hesitated, nnd Dr Buckley took from his pocket a silver quarter. "I'll give you this." he sold, 'If you tell us what makes you think tho little girl bought a basket first" "Be-be-caune," stammered the young ster, at last moved by the sight of the money.

Central Oregon Land Company MADRAS, OREGIE Portland Telegram Private advices were received in Portland tbis morning that that two rival parties of Engin eers have begun surveys for a railroad lins ftom Madras to Prineville. It is stated on tbe best authority that one of tbe parties is in. the employ of tbe Hurriman interests and it is conj-ctured that ihe other is running a line for the Mill for ces. Should this prove to be the cuse, the contest for getting the most strategic route into an immensely productive region will be a duplicate of the mem orable struggle between the Hill and Htirriman forces up ihe Deschutes Canyon. That the iwo crews represent' , these rival interests seems alto gether reasonable from the fact ih .t high officials of the Hurri man ttyHtem aud others of the Hill system, including John P. Srevens, of the Oregon .Trunk had conferences with piotnineut Prineville business men, sheep men, stockmen and others at the recent celebration in con nection with the opening of the Central Uiegon gateway to Madras by the Oregon Trunk. For many years Prineville has been trying to get railroad transportation, and when B. E. Lytle. head of the Pacific Rail way & Navigation Company, made his survey for the old Columbia Southern, which he disposed of to the Harriman people, he surveyed a line which ran down into that terri lory,' but later the line south of Shaniko, the present terminus, was abandoned. The Harriman surveyors now in the field are said to be pick ing up in a general way the old Lytle survey, while the other party of engineers is at tempting to hook up Prineville by a wid er detour at easier gradd. The proposed routes both contem plate making Madras the main line terminal, with connections with both the Oregon Trunk and the Deschutes roads. From Madras the survej's run, approximately, along the Wil low Creek Canyon, to a point near Laraonta, the heart of an exceedingly rich country, and thence south to Oueil, crossing the Crooked River at (hat point aud about 20 feet above high water. O'neil is 14 miles below Prineville, on the Crooked Riv er, and the passage on to Prine ville is to be made through bone Pine Gap at an elevation of close to 3000 feet. Most of this distance from Madras (20) miles will be covered at a grade yf 1.5 per cent and the length of i he branch from Madras to Prineville will be 35 miles. Es timates have been m tde to altow that the road cau be built for about $10,000 a mile for all but about five miles, and that the total cost of the line will not beinexceesof $40,000, and per haps considerably under that figure Prineville people have been interesting local capital in an electric line to Madras, but in case it turns out that the two great railroad systems mean business in the present prelimi nary work, the electric line will no doubt be abandoned. Railroad men who have made careful investigation of the re sources of Central Oregon de clare that a line to Prineville connecting with the Hill aud Huriman tines at M tdras would be a money maker from the qtart. f -s 8. 4 if T )
