morning to visit Metolius, Cul
ver, Redmond, Laidlaw and
Bend, and vvent from the latter
place to Prinoville last evening,
where elaborate plans were being
made to receive them.
Hon. J. N. Williamson motored
down from the county seat Tues
day evening to confer with the
party and make arrangements
for their reception at his home
town.
After seeing Crook county the
party will go on south through
Klamath, and if the condition of
the mountain roads and the
snows on the summits will per
mit they will visit Crater Lake
National Park and return to the
railroad at Medford across the
Cascades. In case this trip
proves impossible they will take
the train from Klamath Falls
and return home by the Southern
Pacific from California.
The special train which brought
the party here was dispatched
out yesterday morning and will
meet the sightseers at Medford
on their return. Each member
of the party had a copy of his
orders for the trip, giving time
for leaving each stop, and every
thing was being conducted with
customary railway precision and
system.
COUNCIL DISCUSSES
MUSIC IN SALOONS
The question of stopping all
music in saloons was again under
discussion in the council meet
ing last night. The matter was
finally disposed of by the pas
sage of a resolution directing the
marshal to notify all saloon
proprietors engaging music to
have the samp cease at 11 p. m.,
and also that all pianos or other
instruments used should be lo
cated in the back part of the
buildings.

"If you don't succeed at first,
Try, try again."
Undismayed by.the collapse of
the well that was being sunk to
supply water for the Madras city
water svstem. the city authori
ties have made arrangements for
digging another well in a part of
the town where no dilhculty 01
anv kind has ever been encoun
tered in getting a plentiful sup
ply of water. This morning
Councilman T. B. Tucker with a
force of men, commenced put
ting down a well on Lots 1 and
2 in block 42 of the original
townsite, which is in the east
part of town, just southwest ol
the school house.
This matter of excavating an
other well was taken up at an
adjourned meeting of the coun
cil held last night, and Mr.
Tucker was voted to be the man
to prosecute the work. . He is to
receive $4 per day for his ser
vices.
The new well is being dug 5
and 1-2 feet in diameter, and
will be nut down about 50 feet.
The water level at that point is
between 20 and 25 feet below
which is to connect the present
main line of the Southern Pacific
with the Oregon Short Line at
or about Ontario, probably using
the Malheur Valley Railroad as
the connection from the Idaho
boundary. The project also em
braces the valuable rights which
were acquired by the Harriman
people some months ago from
the Boise & Western, a reputed
Hill scheme for paralleling
the Harriman route across Ore

important preliminary task is

Announcement of Construction of
Oregon Eastern and Prlnevllle
Branch Expected.
W. P. Keady, right of way
agent for the Milwaukee system,
arrived in Madras Tuesday over
the Deschutes Railway and left
that evening by auto for Prine
ville. He was accompanied by
Mrs. Keady. While Mr. Keady
had nothing to say as to his
mission into the interior at this
time, it is. understood that he
will spend the summer in Cen
tral Oregon preparing data pre
liminary to the construction of
an east-and-west line across the
state by the Harriman interests,
and his work may also include
arramrements for building a
branch line from Madras through
Prineville, which has persistent
ly bcjn rqmored to be under
consideration.
The fiscal year of this railroad
system closes June 30, and all
new work is usually announced
at the beginning of the new
working year. For many sources
it is known that engineers and
construction men who are as
sociated in the work with the
system have been on their tip
toes with expectancy for the
past few weeks, and should
new work of great importance
be announced some time in July
it would not come as a surprise
to those who. have kept in touch
with the railroad situation.
The project upon which Mr.
Keady is expected to be engaged
is known as the Oregon Eastern,
The apparent slowness with
which the construction of the
big steel brige for the Oregon
Trunk is progressing at Crooked
River Gorge, has given rise to
all kinds of stories, seeking to
explain the delays.
One of the engineers con
nected with the work is some
what of a humorist and has given
the people living south of the
river no little concern by telling
them that something is wrong,
He ascribes the difficulty to some
error in the measurements for,
says he, the steel when put
together will miss the place pre
pared for it from 2 to 4 inches.
Whether this is due to shrinkage
of the steel in this high altitude,
or to the spreading apart of the
canvon walls is a question. The
engineer is inclined to believe
the canyon walls to be spreading
for every time the measurement
is taken it is found to be differ
ent. An automobile driver who
heard this report rushed to the
works and urged the engineer to
rig a heavy draw bolt with one
end fast to each canyon wall, so
that it could be tightened up and
hold the gorge from spreading
apart. However, the difficulty
is soon to be overcome through
natural agencies. The steel is
being laid out where the heat of
the sun will expand it, and when
it has stretched to the proper
length it will be popped into
place in a hurry while the rivet
holes fit, and once the big canti
lever is fast in place it is calcu
lated to hold the canyon from
any further spreading.

Several carloads of ice and
have been received ,this
week by the Central Oregon Ice
& Cold Storage company, and
the delivery of ice by this firm
was commenced this morning.
The main cold storage room in
their building, which is nearing
completion just north of the
Oregon Trunk depot, will be
ready for the reception of ice
this evening and it is planned to
unload the shipments now in the
yards at once. Delivery of goods
to all parts of the county will be
commenced in a few days, and
an auto truck will be used for
this service. Several orders for
ice and beer have already been
received from other towns, and
all kinds of perishable foodstuffs
will be handled by the company
as soon as the building is ready
to take care of it, and the de-.
mands of the trade in this line
can be determined.
A representative of the com
pany expects soon to make a
tour of the interior to get in
touch with customers, learn their
needs and get the business to
moving.
John Campbell, proprietor of
ths Madras Meat Market, has
made arrangements to store all
his fresh meats in the cold stor
age, and plans to kiil his animals
several days in advance of the
date are they put on sale, so that
they will be in the best possible
condition at the time of reaching
the consumer.
Ice is being delivered in Mad
ras at one cent per pound, and
in view of the fact that it is pure
and e'ean, and that heretofore as
high as six cents per ponnd has
been paid for very inferior ice,
the establishment of this
concern means progress of the
kind that is appreciated.
The machinery for the cold
storage rooms and the ice fac
tory has all been ordered, but
shipment is held up pending the
perfection of arrangements for a
water supply for the plant. The
company is contemplating estab
lishing a private system from a
well.
Examinations June 21-24
Teachers examinations for
state papers will be held at
Prineville at the county court
house on June 21-24, according
to an announcement issued by
Superintendent Ford. The furth
er announcement is made that
all those holding certificates that
expire in August and county
permits should take this exami
tion if they expect to teach in
Oregon. There will be no ex
amination in August, and no
county papers issued.
