I vrlg tn n-A .,wjr i T.rs' l"Ing that with edu Last week Supervisor Roy Newell finished the new grade from town up to the 0-W. R. & N. depot and Agency Plains, and has taken the largerpart of his crew of men across the Deschutes River to work on the new grades which are being constructed on both sides of the river from the new bridges that are being put in at the Cove. The new grade begins just a short distance beyond the Willow Creek bridge, and swings off to the left of the old grade, reach ing the top at a point a little to the west of where the old grade ended. However the bad turn, at the top of the old road is done away with, thus eliminating the worst feature of the original road. About 2000 feet of new road was constructed, with a maximum grade of but 5 per cent. One bridge was put in, crossing the gulch half way up the hill, thus protecting the new road from bad washes. A correct estimate of the number of cubic yards of dirt and rock moved during the construction was not kept, but it will run way into the thousands, filling being required in many places, and cuts in others. The roadway is ample wide at every point to permit teams to pass in safety, a feature that was sadly lacking in the old road, and the distance from town to the depot has been preceptably shortened. The work was undertaken about six weeks ago. the County Court and the Harriman rai'road T1HI CHICAGO COLISEUM Strong Club to be Organized from Madras and Metollua Teama for July 4th T HE building In which the delegates to the Republican national conventlou In a game made less interest ing because of the necessary and continuous wrangling which had to be done with the umpire, Metolius defeated Madras in the second ball game between the two teams by the score of 17 to 11. Unfortunately, "His Nibs, the Umps" was woefu'ly lacking in inside information in regard to the finer points of the great national game, and was more or less hampered in giving his de cisions until he had gotten his tiD from some of the players. The first man up with a sugges tion was the man of the hour, and captain Hahn was generally the first man to come to the aid of the official with advice, and also was generally the first man to appear on the diamond at the psychological minute to see that his decision was enforced.

The stone wall nnd turreted gate which stood in front of the old building are seen at the main entrance. It is 300 feet long, 150 feet wide and has a seating capacity of 10,000 people, which can be somewhat increased on occasion. It has an Immense steel arched roof and has no posts to obstruct the view. A groat balcony runs around the four sides of the hall. There are twenty exits, many windows nnd a glass roof. The number of delegates will be 1.074, an increase of 04 since 1008.

Will Handle Own Sales Through Joint Stock Company BIG GROWERS BAGK MOVE Arrangements to Take OVer Konoway Warehouse by Wool Orowers, la Preparatloa and Announce ment Expected Soon With a view of taking over the interests of the Konoway Warehouse Company, the prom inent sheep men of the Madras and tributary country are at work forming an organization to handle the local wool clip of 1912. The State Wool Grower. Association left Madras out when they published the first schedule of sale dates. A remonstrance was made, and a second - sched ule was adopted, giving Madras two dates, one in June and another in July. This schedule was then revised the second time, the third schedule leaving Madras out again. The wool men realized that by working on a co-operative plan, they can secure better results at a smaller expense, and are mak ing preparations to handle their own clips through a joint stock company, they being satisfied that once the, wool clip of this sec tion is put in a convenient ware house, there will be no dearth of buyers, notwithstanding the fact that no regular sale dates have been named by the state association. James Rice of Haycreek, An drew Morrow of Willow Creek and others are at work inter viewing the various wool men who have expressed a prefer ence to haul their clip to Madras, rather than to other nearby towns, which have been in cluded in the sales day schedule. It is expected that complete ar rangements for the transfer of . the Konoway interests to the wool men will be perfected in the next few days. News was the Oretron Rnh Saturday of since then in Pnrf.
