In an ticipation of giving the railway mag nate ns hearty a welcome as possible the crowd was all in readiness at the depot when tho tram pulled in, but the train never stopped nt the depot going on two or three hundred yardu and passing up the Madras people like a 'white chip." The majority of the crowd climbed Into their automobiles and returned to town while a few fol lowed the train to the point where it stopped, After a time Mr. Boschke and Mr. O'Brien came out of their car, Mr. Krutschnitt being indisposed. The officials declined to visit the city that evening, say ng that they would be down the following morning. However, the Mudra people people had no more than returned when Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Boschke followed and spent the evening in town. It was a funny busi ness nil around and the evening was frosty. CATHOLICS PROVIDE FOR MADRAS CHURCH Building Will Be Supplied and Regular Services Meld Preparations for the establish ment of a Catholic church in Madras and for providing a building for the services have assumed active form during the past week, during which time a fund has been subscribed here for the purpose, and the old public school building has been purchased and will be removed to lots donated by the Madras Townsite company. Whether the building will simply be moved to the new location or will be torn down and rebuilt into a church has not been decided, but it is probable that the latter course will be pursued. Two lots have been donated by the Townsite company, but the exact location has not yet been determined. Father Sheehan, who now makes his headquarters at Bend will be in charge of the Madras parish, and it is proposed to hold services here at least twice each month. About $350 was subscribed here and besides this the Catho lics have a fund which they can draw upon for this purpose. There are close to 30 members of this denomination residing in Madras at present, while many of the prominent country resi dents hereabouts are also mem bers. Plants 2000 Forest Trees Otto Hohlfeldt, has returned to his home north of town after having been away for an opera tion in a hospital. Mr. Hohl feldt has just completed the work of setting out in the neigh borhood of 2000 forest trees on his ranch, which is one of the best improved and most attrac tive in this part of the country. Portland Rose Festival Portland people are making their plans for the annual Rose Festival, June C-10, and the whole city is looking forward eagerly to the event. It will be bigger and better than ever this year and the latch string to the whole city will be out. Resi dents of other Oregon cities will be given a warm welcome.

The three pupils who took the entire 8th grade questions received average markings of 91 and 1-9 per cent. Those who wrote on the ques tions were Margaret Conklin, Esther Graves and Florence White.

Sias May Be Pastor The revival meetings in the Christian church came to a close Sunday evening. The meeting was not productive of a large number of converts, but prelimi nary and basic work was done lw Hvanorelist Grecrir. who is a strong man for the work in which he was engaged. The church was materially strength ened and will push the work for ward. Rev. Charles A. Sias has been asked to accept the regular work, and may in all probability accept it. At any rate the work is expected to be permanent and regular in future. More Wool Conies A shipment of wool was re ceived this week from Dunham Bros, sheepman residing beyond Prineville at the Konoway ware house at this place.

Ministers Must Register A law passed by the last ses sion of the legislature which has just become effective places limitations on ministers who are licensed to perform marriage ceremonies. The law requires that no minister will be legally permitted to perform a marriage ceremony unless he has first registered with the county clerk the necessary evidence that he is a minister within the meaning of the law. Hereafter county clerks will issue a warning with each license to the couple securing it to determine before the cere mony that the minister has re gistered with the county as re quired by the new law. Another feature of the law is that it re quires the person making affi davit as the legal standing of the legal standing of the persons about to get a marriage license to leave his home address with the county clerk. This is done in order to enable the clerk to trace a marriage li cense that has not been returned to him in due time as required by law, and determine if the marriage had become leg ally contracted. Married At the home of the bride's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Rush, at Lamonta, last Sunday at 12 o'clock, noon, occurred the marriage of Glen Ridgeway and Miss Grace Robinson. About 40 friends and relatives were as sembled for the happy occasion to celebrate the nuptials of these worthy and highly respected young people. The brief and pieasing ceremony was pro- ounced by Rev. C. A. Sias, of the Madras Christian church. After the ceremony a splendid dinner was served. Seattle Man Dies Here John W.

J. Spence of Chicago, assistant director of traffic, his aid, W. S. Bassinger, R. B. Miller, traffic manager, William McMurray, general pas senger agent, Frank W. Robin son, general freight agent, and H. E. Lounsberry, assistant gen eral freight agent, arrived at Madras last Monday evening in the special cars of Messrs. Spence and Miller, and on Tuesday they took automobiles for Bend, Prineville and other points to in vestigate traffic and crop condi tions in Central Oregon. The party returned to Madras that evening, and at 7:30 gave a dinner and reception at their private cars, which was attended by J. M. Conklin, R. T. Olson, C. E. Roush. A. C. Sanford, H. F. Dietzel, W. F. Hammer, Rob ert Rea and H. W. Turner of Madras. The affair was entirely informal and was for the purpose of getting acquainted. Frank Dunn, traveling freight and passenger agent of the De schutes Railway was also in at tendance. There was no speechmaking nor announcements of any kind as to the intentions of the com pany in the way of future con struction plans." The party ex pressed themselves as delighted with the country they inspected and dwelt particularly upon the excellence of the county roads. Reuter's Many Experiments Tillman Reuter returned Sat urday evenintr from a trip to Shaniko to bring in some special farm implements which he had shipped to that point previous to the coming of the train to Mad ras. s Mr. Reuters experiments in the trial of new methods and varieties of crops will be more comprehensive this season than ever before, and he has promised the Pioneer an article covering the same in the near future. It will be an interesting one to the farmers of this section as well as to all who are interested in the development of the agricultural possibilities of the Central Ore gon country. Water at 542 Feet Water has been struck in the well which is being drilled at the J. C. Sothman ranch in the Round Butte district, at a depth of 542 feet. There is apparently a plentiful supply for all ordinary farm uses. PLACING STEEL FOR BIG BRIDGE Several Carloads Arriving Daily at Fallbrldge FLOODS WILL HALT WORK Completion of Oregon Trunk Crossing of Columbia Expected In September or October. Between 25 and 30 carloads of steel have arrived at the Wash ington approach of the new Oregon Trunk bridge across the Columbia at Celilo and large gangs are engaged in unloading and distributing this material for the superstructure. The contractors in charee of the iob have begun stringing some of the steel and will continue work ing out from the Washington shore until there is interference from the annual high water in the river. From the present in dications there will be two or three weeks in the clear before the Columbia reaches a stacre where it will stop progress on the bridge says the Evening Telegram. The steel is being received here from the East over the North Bank at the rate of several car loads a day, and good long stretches of the work on the ap proaches can be finished regard less of the condition of the water. . The crest of the freshet is looked for along about the second week in June, and as soon as the waters begin to subside extra crews will be put to work driving in the false work upon which the sup erstructure will rest while being bolted into permanent place. So far, the contractors have had good luck all the way through on the bridge and are several weeks ahead on their work. Allowing for a maximum of time and delays on .account of high water and in receiving ma terial, it is now estimated that the new trans-Columbia structure will be ready for the operation of trains next September or early in October. One of the advan tages to be gained by erecting this $1,500,000 bridge is that it will reduce the running time of trains between here and the interior by at least half and hour, doing away with the tedi ous transfer of trains on the car ferry and the slow progress made by this boat over the river. The high-level cantilever bridge of the Oregon Trunk spanning the Crooked River gorge is scheduled to be ready for opera tion in about GO days. A good deal of steel already has been shipped from the East and some of it has arrived. It is being laid as soon as received, as this this work must be completed be for the gap between the present terminus at Opal City and Bend can be closed up. Correction In la3t week's Pioneer the statement was made in con nection with the shipment of wheat from this place saying that the Farmers Union ware house is now being conducted by the Konoway Warehouse com pany. This is an error, as the Farmers warehouse is being operated as heretofore. The misunderstanding arose from the fact the building was at one time understood to be leased to the new company.
