died a 'violent death, at whose hands
we ran only guess.
The only rnllrond that will ever do
central Oregon any real good, will be
an east and west line, the Corvallls &
Eastern, for Instance. Such a road
would have an enormous advantage
over any other In moving lumber and
grnln that yet remains to be grown.
This road is also already half-way
here. No matter which of the towns
It overlooks In passing, this Is the
only road that will really be of benefit
to Crook county.
n:ISES PROF LANDERS.
Considerable of a howl has gone up
over the reclamation service shutting
out all railroad work up the Des
chutes valley, says the Prlneville Tie-
view. The reclamation service claims
It wants the water power of the lower
Deschutes to generate electric power
and transmit It 100 miles to pump
water onto the Umatilla desert. Ac
cordtnir to plans projetted, the serv
ice will build a dura 90 feet In
helcht across the Deschutes to get
the necessary head. Just where this
flnm Is to be constructed Is not yet
riven out. so hazy are the plans In
contemplation.
While the Review has always had
rfnnhts of a railroad coming up the
TH'schutes. for the reason that for 110
miles, or until It reached Madras,
there would not be enough tonnage
for It to pay for car oil and never
will be. vet It seems to us that the
fine hand of E. H. Harrlmnn Is
plainly visible In this blocking of even
a possible attempt to timid. Lnui
four weeks ago no one even dreamed
that the reclamation service had de
signs upon the Deschutes. The build
ers of the embryo road began almost
a year ago lo grade and pursued their
work uninterruptedly until notified
by the United States reclam
ation service to move their stakes 100
feet above the water line. It was vir
tually an order to clear out. bag and
baegage. for the walls of the valley
l"rt feet up are crooked as a snake,
gulches are found every 100 fevt and
rlmrocks are so numerous that grad
ing alone would easily cost J75.000 a
mile.
It Is true that whoever was at
temptlng to build was not In a hurry
to get the Job done and it looked very
much like an attempt to hold down
the right of way; but what of that?
Every railroad expends considerable
money to hold rights of way against
its competitors, and looks upon such
procedure as unassailable Business j
policy.
The project was regarded as a
'Hill road"; that Is. J. J. Hill was
either backing or countenancing It.
Harriman also had a crew working on
the west bank of the river and had
made but little progress. His crew
coul l not get ahead of the Hill crew,
nn l so a hint from Harriman to the
reclamation service accomplished
everything he could desire. Work
was Immediately stopped. Does It not
look that way? Harriman controls
every part of Oregon and has acted
the "dog In the manger" all along.
N"ov for other reasons. The most
Impractical of all the routes into cen
tral Oregon is via the Deschutes; but
still there was a possibility of its go
ing through. Its construction would
Interfere with Columbia Southern ex
tension, if ever that were contemplat
ed. For a north and south road the
latter is the most feasible for this
country. It Is already built half way.
and runs thrnueh a territory rapidly
.developing, because it Is there, and
sending an enormous tonnage over Its
rails. The country througn which the
extension wae once projected Is equal
ly susceptible trt development upon lt
advent. And the cost of Its reaching
the Agency Plains would not average
at;ywhere near ITa.OoO a mile. Still
it lines not seem to be coming to
Crook at present, and we are left to
presume that uil ylans for extension
have died a natural death. The Des
chutes proposition, on the other hand.
The Dalles Chronicle Speaks Highly of
tlie Newly Elected City Superinten
dent.
The Dalles Chronicle, speaking of
the services of Prof. J. S. lenders, of
that city, who has just been elected
city superintendent of Pendleton's
public schools says:
The resignation of Prof. Landers
will bi! deeply regretted by the entire
community, who appreciated his
worth, not only as an educator, but
as an Ideal citizen. They will also
regret to lose his excellent wife, who
has rendered such valuable assistance
In musical circles and wherever she
could serve best.
During his 10 years' connection with
our public schools. Prof. Landers has
given his very best service and how
well lie has succeeded Is evidenced
by Its phenomenal progress. If hi
resignation Is accepted It will be
great loss to the school; but no doubt
will be an advantage to him or the
change would not be considered.

If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the
game to the winning player, so exceptional merit In a remedy
ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason
able amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the
health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's
improvement in cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches,
etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to
choose one ot known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas
ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect
ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after
effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs,
simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without
griping, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way,
as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature.
As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu
facture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most
beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their
general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth con
sidering in making purchases. '
It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS
is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well
informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain
quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a
bottle of the "genuine on hand at all times, to use when a
laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the
genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size
only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the
company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on
the front of every package. Regular price, 50c per bottle.

The circulation of the Sunday Jour

The article Is as follows:
What does the average newcomer
want? In the first place he Is leaving
his old home because land Is so high
that he cannot buy a home, or be
cause he has suid his farm at a good
price and wishes lo secure cheaper
land to get elbow room for his frrow
itis family. He finds he is not gettig
ahead where he is and Is looking to
ward the west as the land of golden
