pgistered -t the Madras
to co-operate with their sisters
in town and on the evening of
January 12 they will appear at
Sanford's hall, buy a ticket just
like a "little man," and this will
entitle them to dance. It don't
seem possible, boys, but it's a
fact nevertheless, for once in
their life they have to dig up the
prico of a ticket.
Then comes the introducing,
for there are going to be lady
floor managers. It's this way,
follers. When you enter the
hall you will have to take a seat
along the wall and wait till some
bewitching damsel asks you for
a dance, before you will have a
chance to show your ability on
the floor. Won't it seem funny
when it happens like this: You
observe the floor manager ap
proaching. "Would you care to
receive an introduction from Miss
Beatrice Vanderbilt, Mr. Jones?"
Then you have to squirm around
irl your seat a little and finally
stammer, "Why, certainly, don't
care if 1 do."
. You see, girls, that's all the
men can say. They are accus
tomed to having some one say,
"have a cigar, Bill," and. if they
do appear a little awkward their
intentions are all right.
Then comes the "big feed."
This is another feature worthy
of special mention. It will be
free, too, for the men, and will
be held at 'the Arentz building
next to the postoffice. The ladies
propose to serve an old fashioned
basket dinner. They will haye
enough for everybody and all
they ask is for the ladies from
the country to bring either a pie.
or cake. '
Don't forget Friday, January
12.. It only happens once every
four years.

THE WESTERN GOVERNORS' SPECIAL
GOVERNOR WEST AND THE OREGON EXHIBIT CAR
"The Western Governors' Special has proved the greatest ad
vertising feature ev6r attempted in the interest of the West. News
of its coming was abroad in the land and thousands awaited at the
stopping points not only to receive us with open arms, but to hear
of the great resources and possibilities of the Western States.
"The tour of the Western Governors will result in the bring
ing about of a better understanding and close friendship between
the East and the West. The eyes of the East were not only opened
to the possibilities of the West, but its people were brought to re
alize that our interest is their interest and whatever is done to de
velop the West is bound to redound to the benefit of the East.
They know that a movement of the 'landless man' of the East to
the 'manless iand' of the West is one not only in the interest of
business, but one which will make for government.
"When told of the great variety of resources of a state like
Oregon of its 29,000 square miles of virgin forest, of water power
which measures twice that of New York, Massachusetts . and
Maine combined, of its great variety of grains, grasses and vege
tables and fruits, of its mines and fishing, of its orchards and hop
fields, of its live stock industry, and last but not least qf its de
lightful climate they could hardly believe the statements true.
As a result of the trip thousands are becoming interested, and 1
am sure tne coming year win see a westward movement such as
never was seen before." J,

Mr. Moore is also much elated
over the prospects of a railroad
through his district from Prine
ville to Metolius; but expressed
great surprise that Metolius
should be the terminus when it
known Madras is the natural out
let for all that vast territory. He
believes the road should follow
the Willow creek canyon, thus
affording an easy grade over the
entire route and would tap the
best farming - land in Crook
county.

the .Oregon, Trunk's Y-shaped
brjdge across the Columbia river
at Celilo, January 6, according
to tli e reports of engineers made
to Carl R. Gray, president of the
road, a few days ago.
It is probable, they say, that
the bridge can be -.used January
4, but regular service will not be
inaugurated until two days later.
ttt
worKmen now are engaged m
placing rails across the last span.
More than two years haye been
required in building the bridge,
which cost approximately $3,000,
000. Its total length, including
the "Y" at the northern .end, is
4197 feet. It is built of solid
masonry and steel, every one of
the concrete piers resting on a
rock foundation. A draw span
is provided for, but it will be
used until after the Government
canal at Celilo, which now is be
mg built, is completed, making
possible navigation through that
portion of the riveV spanned by
the bridge. -:
Completion of the bridge will
enable the Oregon Trunk to
make faster time between Mad
ras and Portland. .T.he.usual time
required in crossing the r.iver on
the ferryboat How used in. that
service is 85 minutes. The traffic
department now is working on a
pew schedule that will reduce.

METOLIUS CLAIMS
PRINEVILLE ROAD
Engineers Now Search
ing For RIght-of-Way
MADRAS MAY BE PICKED
Railroad Men Say Th!s Point la Btt t
Suited Because of Many Natural
Advantages
It now begins to look as if Me
tolius would be the terminus of
the Prineville road, instead of
Madras as-announced in The Pic
neer a' couple of week ago. En
gineers huve been in that locality
for the past week, and a .story
published in the Central Oregon
ian of Metolius last week says
that work will commence leafly
in 1912.
ASeattle firm, of which, L. M.
Rice, a wealthy capitalist is at
the head, are the parties who
will put the road through. R F.
Heckman and William Osborn,
railway .engineers representing
the Rice Co., arrived in Madras
last week with instructions to
make preliminary arrangements
for locating the route over which
the proposed road will run. They
were taken over the territory by
N. A. Burdick, cashier of the
Citizens State Bank.
The cost of constructing the
proposed road is in the neighbor
hood of $600,000 and will be
about 30 miles in length. A crew
of engineers were expected in
Metolius, the first of the , week
from Portland to look over the
territory and find a suitable
right-of-way for the road. Mr.
Osborn says it will require about
three weeks to complete the
work.
The L. M. Rice Co. is a
stantial instution, and at
present time are engaged in
construction of 400 miles of
road in British Columbia, and a
million dollar irrigation project
in the Horseheaven country in
Washington is another of their
undertakings.
Notwithstanding that Metolius
seems to be settled on as theter
jninus of the Prineville ..road,
there are a good many who think
Madras will yet be given cosid- "
eration in the matter. Itlsfrthe
natural outlet for the Prineville
and Lamonta district, and,infact
much of the producing jknd,
which the railroad hopes tojben-
efit, is tributary to Madras, the
Willow creek canyon having its
outlet right at the city limits.
There is an abundance of wat
er at Madras and for that Reason
alone, railway men say, it will
be looked over by the engineers
before a final right-of-way! is se
cured. Farmers-along the Wil
low creek are. also' surprised that
Metolius should be the starting
point of the road in preference
to a more suitable point.
