THURSDAY - DEC. 14, 1911 A FRIEND TO OREGON President Louis W. Hill of the Great Northern Railway has wired the Portland Commercial Club that he is willing to prepare thi Oregon exhibit for the Twin Cities Land Show .in Minneapolis and St. Paul. This offer made after Manager Chapman of the club wired the Great Northern for aid in preparing the exhibit. Commenting on the courtesy of Mr. will, Manager Chapman said a few days ago: "The assurance of Mr. Hill that Oregon will be well looked after in the" matter of exhibits in the St. Paul Land Show is in keeping with the splendid activ ity which he is always showing in the development of the inter ests of Oregon. Those not inti mately acquainted with the gen eral workings of things would not realize the great 'activity and. watchfulness which Mr. Hill ex erts over the entire, field, and es pecially his keen desire to pro mote the welfare of Central Ore gon in particular. "We have not. been in the ex hibit business this year, and it has been, almost entirely due to the railroads of the state that "we have not fallen down completely. In every exhibition that has been held they have come to the front and saved the day. This is true of the Great Northern and North ern Pacific at the St, Paul and New York Land Shows, and the Harriman system and other roads at the Chicago Land .Show. It was also a lamentable fact that we were not able to get. sufficient exhibits from commirnities in Oregon to fill even onj3-half of The Madras Dramatic Considerable ... i i i l ocvciai iMucjiucn i iui i iuci o, nioiuuniy oniyniy A. h bhugert and Dick Anderson; piano duet by Moscoe Urosby and Ruth and banjo selection by G. R. Crawford. the car set apart for Oregon's use on the Western Governors' spec ial. The Great Northern, how ever, again came to our rescue." Mr. Hill has always been a friend to Central Oregon and his particular desire to exploit the resources of this section is not surprising to to those who know him. When Mr. Hill visited Madras with a party of railroad officials in a special train last October, he took great delight in handling the big potatoes and other exhibits raised by Tillman Reuter, and predicted then that some day Central Oregon would rank first among all producing districts in the Northwest. Announcement of a new rail road across Oregon from east to west was appropriate news for Thanksgiving week. President Lovett of the Harriman system has authorized the construction of the Oregon Eastern from Vale to Dog Mountain, a distance of 140 miles. The road will not stop there but will be built to Burns. then presumably on to Bend and very likely south to connect with the Natron-Klamath line. Work on the project will be rushed and it is expected to get the first link under way before the end of the present year. This new mileage will be of great value to Ea&tern Oregon and will give modern transportation to a district now isolated. Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railroad, thinks the Western Governors aro talk ing too much politics instead of exploiting the natural resources Of their country. The following is what he said about the trovor- nor who declare ! there would be no more hangings in this Rrnrn while he was running the busi ness: The Governor of Oregon is fritting away his time telling the East what he knows about woman uuffrage and airiintr his personal views on other nublit; questions. What does the East care for them? In for petting his state,' that fellow is overlooking ... Club Will Present the two laugnaoie rarce comedies Courtship" At Sanford's Hall i l ... Jiuyiciiii yet picpaicu uy li wmu, uoiuoo uic uvvu piayg - I i-. i "v L ""v .""v f" III After tne &now a big bet; he is exploiting him self rather than his state." The 'Oregon Eastern Railway is to be rushed "from Vale west ward through the Malheur can yon into the interior of Oregon ! via Burns to the Pacific slope," say the dispatches. And yet even as good authority as the Harney j County News, of Burns, does not I claim that the road will pass within less than twenty miles of isurns. There are two surveys through the Harney valley, one just north of Malheur and Har ney Lakes and one just south of them. If the former route is taken, as it probably will be, Burns will be left twenty miles to the north. The congregations at the local churches would materially in crease if the preachers would start a harmless smudge and ring the fire bell about church time every Sunday night. Many persons got inside the Christian church during the fire last Satur day night that don't get within a mile of the church at any other time. A Redmond bank has made ar rangements to bring in several carloads of good dairy stock for ranchers of that section, follow ing the same plan as that of Bend capitalists in furnishing brood sows to farmers in that locality. Redmond, with a large area of irrigated alfalfa growing all about it, should make an ideal dairy center. A fine country place on the banlc of Crooked. River, costing $50,000, is promised by Henry McOall, the son-in-law of Thomas W. Lp.wson of Boston. Mr. Mc CaU has bought 400 acres and will make a beautiful home of it.
