DEC. 28, 1911
TRO? IS SUCCESS
Returning to the capitol after
a month's absence in the East as
a guest on the Governors' spec
ial, Governor West offered the
following comment on the tripi
"The trip of the Governors
was a success a great success
a greater success than -ik ever
contemplated it would be, and I
believe even greafy i than con
templated by thosewho conceiv
ed the idea and carried it out.
"Xk. novelty seemed to make
a big impression on the people of
the east and there were thou-
- sa ids to greet us at every stop.
Cver 100,000 people visited the
exposition car and hundreds of
thousands were turned away.
There should have been eight or
ten of the exhibit cars. In addi
tion millions of people were
reached through the press, as
the newspapers fairly 'ate it up.'
I don't know of anything that
has ever been done that has
brought the east and the west so
close together.
"Eastern capital, I found, is
mjch interested in the West and
has great confidence in the future
prosperity of this section. In the
East it is appreciated that the
Panama canal will be an ever im
portant factor in the future de
velopment of the West, especial
ly of the states along the Pacific
'-Cjpast, and I pointed out to them
wluitan impetus it would mean
to the Coast states, as well as to
the adyantage of the East in
bringing the sections together."
v Throughout the trip the Gover
nors all "talked shop" and very
little .politics. They were up
morning, noon, and night, boost
ing their own states and not
knocking other western states.
Central Oregon's opportunity
is shown in a recent address of
President Carl R. Gray, of the
Hill lines in Oregon, who pointed
to this section as the coming
granary of the Northwest. From
this great area in the future, he
believes, wtll-camejrgf quanti
ties of wheat. The United States
crop 's decreasing and.here is the
chance for Central Oregon to
supply this much needed com
modity. Wheat exports have
been cut more than half in two
years, showing the American sur
plus to be rapidly dimishing. In
President Gray's opinion, Cen
tal Oregon's future is brightest
as a wheat growing district.
The lady members of the Mad
ras Dramatic Giub are going to
give us something new and ap
propriaten the way of a Leap
rr?T)all (n the 12th of January.
Just what the.programconsists
; of is a secret," the ladies are
." guarding very carefully but they
promise many interesting sur
prises. They have already in
formed us that they will buy the
tickets and supper, appoint floor
managers to introduce us to
strangers, and if w e should hap
pen to be the least bit rude they
might call the rretty sergeant at
arms to slap us on the wrist.
A thief in Redmond the other
day entered the Tum-A-Lum
ljumDer uo. s otnee ana stole a
quantity of postage stamps. The
s..me thief then went to the Ore
gon Cafe, operated by Chas. Bye,
and purloined a big fat Christ
mas turkey, leaving the stamps
as payment. This is a very clever
scheme and will work satisfac
torily until caught at it.
A family in Oklahoma by the
name of Jackson have added thir
teen to the population in five
years. It is barely possible that
such results will some day be ob
tained in Central Oregon without
irrigation. .
Christmas was observed in
Madras with the usual festivities.
At both the churches Saturday
night a program of appropriate
recititations and music was car
ried out and Christmas trees
loaded with presents were dis
tributed among those present by
a real Santa Claus with long
whiskers and heavy arctic storm
coat. Everywhere the spirit of
"peace on earth, good will
toward men" prevailed and
everybody wished their neighbor
a Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year.
al6ngtErlili;thy(rrWof the--g Vat Teft
R. & N. Co. has appointed an ex
perienced agriculturist, creating
a new department. C. L. Smith,
a practical farmer, has been
named for the position. He will
spend much of his time among
the farmers served by the rail
road system, getting in close
touch with their needs and help
ing them solve their problems.
All officials of the road will co
operate to aid the farmer.
The executive committee of the
Northwest Development League
has decided to place a permanent
exhibit of the products of the
Northwest in the new Commerce
building at St. Paul. The exhib
it will cost $70,000 and will be in
charge of Will A. Campbell, sec
retary of the League. Part o
this exhibit will be composed o
produce from Sunny Central Ore
gon.
The Bend Bulletin was set last
week on their new Linotype
typesetting machines and the ap
pearance of the paper as far as
neatness is concerned was a big
advancement over the old hand
method of setting the type. Th
Madras Pioneer and Redmond
Spokesman will both install type
setting machines in January.
It will be hard to give any ac
curate quotations in the matri
monial market until after the
Leap Year ball on January 12.
CENTRAL OREGON
Madras' unchained poet has
broken loose and relieved him
self of the following beautiful
gem:
We have read of places that are noted
for wealth,
And we have read of places that are
noted for health.
One without the other is not very de
sirable,
While one with the other is very ad
mirable. It gives us great pleasure to inform
those who don't know
That there is such a place and there
they should go.
Where Health and Wealth go hand in
hand,
In Central Oregon, the Promise land,
Since Jim Hill built the Oregon Trunk,
People are coming and bringing their
junk.
And it looks like the time was soon to be,
When Central Oregon from sage brush
will be free.
For each and every person so far that
I have met,
Have an idea like my own, of some land
they're going to get.
You needn't take my word for it, I tell
you it's a fact,
Some day there will be a farmer on
every acre tract.
And Jim Hill didn't pay ninety thou
sand a mile
i To bu'lJ us a railroad for just a short
while
But he is here to stay, what more evi
dence do you want,
Of a good live country that's corning to
the front.
So come to Central Oregon, 1 tell you
it is grand,
To see the beautiful scenery and the
Promised hind.
There's scenery there and we'll defy
any living being
To show us a single spot on earth that
is as well worth seeing.
A .MAN WHO KNOWS
Louis E. Dooner, manager of
the Pioneer Telephone Co., and
his assistants, were in Madras
the latter part of the week mak
ing some changes in the tele
phone lines, and central. While
here he purchased the balance of
the stock, which Mr. Ashley has
been selling in the Odd Fellows
building, having rented the lower
floor of the building to conduct
this business in connection with
the central office.
RAILROAD QUESTION

Whether the Hill road will con
tinue its activity in Central Ore

Bend southward, as planned, in
an effort to offset the present
building activity of the Harri
man interests in the southeastern
part of the state is a question
that the people in this part of
the state would like to know.
