I'll; t iticn. of Eastern Oregon
i'ouiuy Will r.iiild Thiir Ov.n Rail
road Portland Capital Will Asit
in (.ohI Work Distance of 0
Miles.
lnr in C'lO'jk county the inhabi
ts have reached the stage of des
'r.ition whi-re people get out with
:cl:s, i-iiov.-is and scrapers and build
their own railroad in order to get
cups to the markets, says the Port
1 ni l Jriurn.il. Ti:; is th? course that
has been adopted ty the business men
j'id farmers of Eend, Prineville, Ma
Iran and other points. With an ini
tial capital of taO.OUf) they propose
t construct a railroad from .Shanlko
to the Columbia .Southern terminus,
Jj Bend, SO miles.
The people of Crook county have
j;."oivn tiled waiting for railroad com
panies to do something toward giving
ci ntril Oregon transportation, and
h-y are going to start in to build their
own road." said Jesse Stearns, counsel
tor the LiesC'huie.1 Irrigation & Power
company. "The Wilson creek basin
Ist year produced 1,500,000 bushels
of grain. The production and crop
output are rapidly Increasing year
afy-r year. The rains this year have
'helped conditions and there la promise
of another great crop next fall. The
people are freighting everything In
and out of the country, 100 miles and
further They are getting tired. They
have long deserved a transportation
line from the existing roads, but they
-ire jitill hauling their products to the
ruaiei-i railroad, at Shaniko.
"The city of Portland has an op
portunity here to do something real
lor central Oregon. It seems to us
that the capitalists of Portland should
b; willing to do as much for their own
state people as tl.ey would do for the
Uarriman railroad companies.
"On a certain occasion when a din
ner brought the railroad people and
j tl.e capitalists together the latter of
i ft red to take the necescary bonds to
f, nance an extension of the Columbia
: Southern from Shaniko to Bend. The
: railroad company did not accept the
' t ffer. The people of Crook county
now come forward with an offer to
! build the line and if the capitalists
of Portland will make their former
i proposition good the road can easily
I be nut through from Shaniko to
I lend.
'The farmers are determined to go
j to extremes in an. effort to get tnis
line. 1 ney wn go oui twin men
teams and scrapers and will furnish
f ed and do everything that can be
done within 'reason to push this pro
ject through. The road can be built
and with reasonable assistance from
capitalists it can be built quickly."
It is said an easy grade, the maxi
mum of which will be 2.3 per cent,
has been found via Ward creek, and
th;r? v.i!! be no serious difficulty n
constructing the line from Shaniko
youth ward. Some surveys have been
made by Chief Engineer Redfield, of
the Deschutes Irrigation & Power
company, who assisted In the con
struction of the original Columbia
Southern. He has reported that it is
practical to build a line that will
serve present needs of Central Oregon.
The distance from Shaniko to Mad
ras Is 42 miles. With the line carried
south even that far central Oregon
would derive large benefits.
The Columbia Southern railroad was
built from Biggs to Shaniko largely
through the energy of a few men and
the efforts of the farmers along the
route. The demand for the road was
so strong that it could not be resisted.
It was constructed in the face of op
position from the O. It. & N. com
pany, whose officials persisted in the
assertion that the road could not be
made to pay expenses.
In spite of these mistaken opinions
the Columbia Southern hag been a
profit earner from the start. Traffic
Ir. central Oregon has vastly Increas
ed since that time. It Is known that
an extension of the Columbia South
ern to Bend would be a profitable
line. That It would extend Portland's
trade and develop the territory direct
ly tributary to this city Is understood,
t.'nder existing Oregon laws such l
line could secure equitable traffic ar
rangements with the Columbia Southern.

Pendleton, June 22. (Editor East
Orcgonian.) Under the head of pos
sible sites for federal building, pub
lished In Saturday's Issue of June 20,
allow me to suggest block 74, now
owned by Peter Medernach, Henry
Schultz and Peter West, situated near
both R. R. depots so that the R. R.
could deliver the mall without any
expense to the government.
This location could be purchased
cheaper than any of the other prop
erty suggested, neither of 'which
could furnish the 140x140 feet as re
quired for the building.
This block could be made a very
beautiful park besides. The building
could be erected in the center of the
block, and trees could be set out all
around the block and flowers planted
between the building and the trees.
Cement walks could be built around
the block, and leading to the build
ing from the four corners of the
block.
Benches (with a lazy back) all
around and along the walks to the
building. Fountains could be on
every corner, and a tlncup so that the
dry town could at least furnish a
cool drink of water during the hot
summer days, while sitting on the
benches under the beautiful shade
trees, admiring the flowers.
Small tables might also be placed
around the block close to the benches
furnished with tablets. Ink and pens
and people might answer their let
ters Just received and not wait un
til they arrived home, and then for
get to answer.
A band stand might be erected and
whenever the band wanted to prac
tice let them amuse the people sitting
on the benches.
Public speakers could use this
band stand and chairs might be
placed under the trees to nceommo-
I date thousands of listeners, and not
have to stand In the street In the!
burning sun, like they did when Bry- j
an was here near the court house I
(for he is coming again soon). I

could find there a resting place be-1
cause the saloons will be closed, j
which was the only place for a far-1
mer or stranger, to be welcome and I
rest when in town. I
There being no public or private'
park in the city, this location would j
bo the only place for farmers and
strangers, and In fact everybody, to
find a welcome seat. I know of no
other block In the city that can beat:
this one for a postofflce. -
Respectfully submitted.

To Increase the supply of beef and
therebv lessen Its cost to the Amprl. 'TO MAKE MEAI, I
can householders is one of the prin
cipal objects underlying the efforts
of the department of agriculture to
find a proteid that will thrive in the
semi-arid regions of the northwest.
Reef and beef products are said to
have reached the highest prices re
corded in 20 years and the dealers
say that this Is due to the scarcity of
cattle.
It is to Increase the slupply of beef
by incheasing the proteid belt in the
west that the department of agricul
ture has sent X. F. Hansen of
Brookings, 8. D., to make a thorough
Investigation of the plant life of
Northern Russia and Siberia.
Prof Hansen will visit the sections
of Northern Europe and Asia where
climatic conditions are similar to
those of the semi-arid lands of Wy
oming, ..Colorado, Montana and the
Dakotas. If an alfalfa or clover can
be found which will withstand these
climatic conditions, 100 cattle could
be grazed on the land now required
for 10.
On his previous trips Prof. Hansen
found fields of alfalfa on the steppes
of Russia thriving In a climate cor
responding to that of the western
lands, which it Is hoped will be re
claimed through his efforts.
Secretary Wilson first sent Prof.
Hansen on an expedition for the de
velopment of agriculture In 1897
Since then he has. made trips trlen-
many for the department. As a re
sult of one of these trips he Intro
'duced Into this country the Turkestan
alfalfa, which forms one of the prin
cipal crops. In the states bordering on
the 100th meridian.

Harry ('. Ixlwarils Ilim Applied for a,
l'aieiit for Ills Mill.
Harry C Edwards, who fur the last
four years has been connected with
the Cyphers Incubator company at
its mill In Kansas City, has made ap
plication nt Washington fur a pat
ent on a new alfalfa mill, says the
Kansas City ,tar. The machine Is
simple In construction, and the meth
od employed in handling the hay
from the bale until It Is reduced to a
meal Is divided so ns to prevent the
continual accidents and breakdowns
that are so common In the present
method.
The fli'ht mill is now being Install
ed at Fowler, Kan. Ilecnuse of the
simplicity of construction, and the
comparative cheapness of the new
mill, Mr. Kdwards says there will
soon be more alfalfa mills In Kansas
than there are flour mills.
"The demand for alfalfa meal Is
rapidly Increasing," Mr. Edwards
said yesterday, "the principal uses
for It being In the manufacture of
stock foods of different kinds by mix
ing them with the proper propor
tions of shorts, bran and corn meal.
In this way It Is made to produce re
sults either for the dairyman or the
market feeder. Most Kansas farms
will yield from three to four cuttings
of alfalfa a year. And In the high,
dry parts of western Kansas, where
crops are uncertain and raised with
much difficulty, alfalfa flourishes."
"Selling an It does from $7 to $8
and )9 a ton at the farm, It Is the
most profitable crop that these farm
ers can raise. Resides It brings into
the market and makes valuable land
that would otherwise be practically
waste." 1
