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.
Tours very truly.

"Marriage of Kitty."
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."

Deerea.ie Due to Falling Off In Output
of Gold.
Ottawa, Ont., April 4. 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. Nebraska
is going into business to fight the bin
der twine and cordage trust, and to
that end the state legislature has ap
propriated 3250,000 with which to
build and equip a factory for the man
ufacture of binding twine. 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.
