CORNER COURT AND JOHNSON. AUTOMOBILE DELIVERY. Heiul, Ore., March 31. CKrlltor East Oregonlan) In your Hemi-week-ly paper of March 28 Is a letter pur porting to be written from Antelope by "M. S. W.," which contains state ments so erroneous that I am sure you will allow me space necessary to correct them. In the first place the reclamation work In this vicinity has been pushed with great energy for several months and as many as 400 men and 250 teams have been engaged at one time. Conservative men thought this was going too fast, considering the re moteness of this section from the rail roads. It would result In reclaiming the land faster than It could be occu pied, which of course, would keep the money expended In building the works locked up for a considerably unnecessary period. The company appears now to have come to that conclusion. Therefore the wages of men was reduced from 82.25 to 2 a day and of teams from 82.50 to 22 a day. More than half the force quit. Every man got his pay promptly and went his way as he chose. The presence of this large construc tion force brought a considerable number of people1 who are not drawn by settled industry. There was quite a boom here. But its temporary na ture was apparent to all who had their senses. It was only a question of a few months at most when the large construction crews must leave. As a matter of fact the camps were reduced before the boomers expected u ana now some or them are very sore. They are sure the country has (tone to the devil and that they them selves have been greatly injured. It may be that "M. S. W." ran across such a man. The knockers have been in evidence all the time, and, I suppose, always will be. But their judgment of the country Is not trustworthy. The Bend country has not lost a whit of Its promise by recent develop ments, except to those who mistook the froth of temporary construction activity for the solid basis of product ive Industry. Bnsiness Is sound here, the outlying lands are being occupied by settlers, development agencies are going right ahead, but there is some dullness in lines that throve upon the patronage of the ditch laborers. As to the man who wanted to get rid of 320 acres near Bend for 3100, let him send on his good warranty deed, as he offers, and get his money. I enclose certificate of the Bend bank that I have the money there and a sight draft will be honored upon re ceipt of the certificate of title, so It Is not necessary to waste time over pre liminaries. And if anybody else has anything similar to offer, let Him speak up. Ko land In this section is so poor that it is not worth a good deal more than that. Plenty of It is selling for 310 to 314 an acre. It should not be forgotten that the Bend country Is not tied up to Irriga tion development, though that has been of chief Interest lately. It Is at the border of the magnificent Des chutes yellow pine belt and Is sure to be the seat of large manufacturing Interests at no very distant day. tp the river are thousands of acres of natural meadows. The stream fur nishes an abundance of water power. This is a new country and not all Its powers are yet known, but It Is bound to have great development and to be the seat of a numerous population and Important industries. This can not come in a dny or a year. But It will come with reasonable speed, and they who are willing to comply with the demands of settled Industry and wait for the riches of a rational de velopment will make no mistake if they establish homes In this section.

With a comedy of such unquestion able fame as "The Marriage of Kitty," and a cast headed by such a popular artist as Max Figman, there Is as sured promise of delightful and novel entertainment at the Fraxer on April 7. Further assurance is given by the fact that this brilliant comedy will be played here by Jules Murry's capable company with that droll, delightfully natural and gentlemanly comedian, Mr. Max Figman, who Is responsible for much of the favorable Impression this play has created In adjacent cities. Manager Jules Murry's com panies are always high class and con tain good material, but It may be questioned if any company or play he has sent out Is of such excellence or Is capable of creating so much whole some laughter and pure enjoyment as this company of his In "The Marriage of Kitty."

The metal production of Canada for the year 1904, as shown in official reports just made public, was considerably less than the output of the preceding year. This is attributed to a falling off in the gold product of the Yukon-, as other mineral Industries held their own in the main. Yukon's record for 1904 was but 310,337,000. The total mineral production of the Dominion was 360.043,135. Outside the Yukon the production of gold In Canada last year amounted to 36,063.000. In On tario, although a considerable amount of prospecting nnd developing work has been done, most of the mines that were formerly Important producers were not operated during the year, in British Columbia an Increased output from placer mines is shown by the reports. NEBRASKA WTIX MAKE TWINE. Will Take a Fall Out of the Cordage Trust. Lincoln, Neb., April 4.

The plant will be constructed at Lincoln within the walls of the state prison and the convicts of the penitentiary will do all the work. The finished article, which is used In binding grain, will be sold at cost to farmers of Nebraska. Should the experiment prove a success, the mar kets of adjoining states may be in vaded In time. Work Is expected to begin immediately, and. if possible, the output will be ready for use in harvesting the coming summer. Medical Men In Session. Atlanta, Ga., April 4.
