Crook county business men have not --
given up the Idea of. getting railroad
connecting' between Shanlko, Bend and 1
Prineville. The people of Prthavllle ,
and other points 'Inland have started a
movement to build a steam . railroad
between these points. They propose toi'

Aimougn tne u. rt ft jn. company's en-

people of that region declare post-

Jfor." the Columbia Southern to the '
Cooked river. From that point they
propose to select the most feasible
route to "the two main objective cen

A meeting of Crook county business -
men wss held today at Prineville to
take un the project and formulate nlans ...
for pushing ft. along to a successful con '
elusion. The following committee has
been named to lead the movement: .
Roscoe Howard of the D. L ft P. Co.; C.
M. Redfleld. chief engineer DC I. A P. '
Co.; John Steldl of the Central Oregon
Development Co.; A. C Sanford of
Madras; Frank Forest and ' George
O'Netl of O'Nell; L. Endereud, secretary
of the B. 8. & L. Co. of Hay Creek..
The distance from Shantko-to Bend
Is about 98 miles, via Cross Keys. Re
peated attempts have been made to es
tablish a transportation line that would
furnish an outlet for the., great - Des
chutes, country that Is being opened
under the Carey act Irrigation project
of the Deschutes Irrigation ft . Power ,
company. !'.
The Columbia Southern was original
ly, surveyed and projected through to
Bend, and the Harriman officials prac
tically assured the people that the road -would
be built.' Afterward It was de
cided to be not feasible to get an easy
grade, and the extension was abandoned.
The management of the Deschutes ir
rla-atinn Jk Tawer pomoanv then, ex
pended about 160,000 In construction of
an automobile road and the building
of a large and powerful automobile
with a capacity of 12 passengers, to
be operated between Cross Keys and
Bend. - It was planned -to oil the road
and roll It-to-' the' necessary compact
naaa .hut this was never done and the
roadway proved to be too soft to carry
true neayy macnine. . -
In the last year the Harriman rail
road companies have surveyed an ex
tension ef the .C E. railroad through
the Cascades to Prineville. but nothing -
came of the project. The people of
Crook county now say it Is up. to them
to build their own railroad. The near
est point of connection with exiattng
lines Is at Shaniko, and they will un- -dertake
to carry to completion the old
Columbia Southern project. ;
LOST LOVE AMD GOLD
tVllflES TO STAY LOST
Mayor Lane signed, the ordinance pro
hibiting fakers and clairvoyants from
practicing Jn Portland. While the new
law goes into effect at once there will
be no'attempt to enforce It until July
1- when the present quarter ends., All
persons. who have paid their license up
to that time will not be molested but
fter that date no person wtll be al
lowed to practice cisarvoyancy In-Hha
city. : '' '
The measure Is practically a dupli
cate of the Chicago law-: which nas'
worked out so successfully. ' It forbids
anyone practicing fortune telling, me
dlumshlp or t clalrvoyancy for the pur
pose of finding gold mines, ' restoring
lost love or anything else to another
person. While comprehensive the mens-
ure Is not considered drastto and has
the support of the Spiritualist church.
