Sunday Cloning Onllnaneq Pawed and
"Red Light" Dlntrlct Removed.
The Burns city council at the reg
ular meeting last Wednesday evening
had quite a business session, says the
Baker City Herald.
The Sunday closing ordinance was
passed over the vote of the mayor, but
the midnight closing measure was al
lowed to stand at present, with the
idea of modifying It later. An or
dinance was passed limiting the speed
of automobiles to six miles an hour
within the city limits, but there Is
talk of amending this and setting the
the limit at eight miles. The council
also talked some of a city park, but
there was no action taken. That
would certainly be an Improvement
that would be much appreciated. It
was also ordered that the "red light
district be cleared out nt once and
Its denizens be sent to some more fa
vorable clime.

Surveying to Begin on Central Ore
gon Line.
A question that has been asked the
Bulletin with considerable persist
ency during the past week Is whether
the Central Oregon Railroad com
pany will at once put a crew of sur
veyors at work to run a survey for
the new railroad.
And the Bulletin is pleased that it
can answer; that question In the af
firmative. Surveyors will be put on
the line as soon as arrangements can
be comoleted. which the promoters
say will probably be within ten days,
asserts last week's Bend Bulletin.
Tents and wagons and other para
phernalia necessary to the men who
are to run railroad surveys are now
helm assembled, and the crew will
be put to work as soon as the outfit
Is complete and the engineer who is
to have charge of the work arrives.
As has been stated before, the sur
vey tor the proposed extension of the
Columbia Southern, made five years
ngo, was a god one. and the Oregon
Central crew will follow the line quite
closely.
U. A. Wynn. the company's right-
of-way man, is still busily engaged se
curing contracts for rlght-orwny
iinnir the survey of the Columbia
Southern extension above referred to.
H Is meeting with most gratifying
success, and says that wherever he
goes he finds the people enthusiastic
over the project and ready ana wil
ling to do all In their power to secure
railroad transportation for Central
Oregon.

Costly Aladka Drought.
Fairbanks, Alaska, Aug. 4. The
most costly drought In the history of
the Tanana district is holding back
the annual gold output. There have
been only two-tenths Inches of rain
since fall. This is 35 per cent worse
than was experienced last year. The
merchants are suffering, being unable
to collect from their customers until
the dumps are sluiced. Not a dollar's
worth can be sluiced on account of
the lack of water.

r Ic Water Dangerous.
The ice water habit is about as dan
gerous as any other habit that Is
worked to excess this warm weather.
When passenger train No. 6 pulled In
last night it had several on board who
were ill. and one man had loaded
his hide full of the company's Iced
beverage uptll he took cramps. The
fellow was suffering all kinds of pain,
according to trainmen, and when
reaching Ontario a doctor was taken
aboard to look after him and care for
rieoDle traveling who do not have
enough Judgment to keep away from
the Ice tank on a very warm day. Af
ter all, there Is not one man in a
thousand who knows anything about
himself. Too many people study their
neighbors when they should be find
ing out something of their own na
ture. Baker City Herald.
Has Waited 18 Years for Railroad.
"Uncle" Frank Nichols of Laldlaw,
was In Madras last Friday, this being
his first visit Into this section since tht
town of Madras was located, says the
Madras Pioneer. Mr. Nichols was tne
first pioneer settler upon land on the
Deschutes river In the Laldlaw coun
try, having filed a pre-emption on 10
acres at Pickett's Island II years ago.
At that tlmo there was talk of rail
road extension Into central Oregon,
and Mr. Nichols says that when he
filed the pre-emption near where Lia
law now Is. he felt quite sure that the
C. & E. would build through there In
two or three years. . He selected what
he thought would be the most likely
crossing on the Deschutes and filed
there. After these 18 years of waiting
the prospects for the extension of the
Corvallls ft Eastern are no brighter
than they were then. In Mr. Nichols
experience there Is a world of sugges
tion to some of the settlers of this
community who are withholding their
support from the proposed Central
Oregon railroad, In the belief that
"Harrlman will build In soon, anyway."

Harvest Begun In Wallowa.
John McDonald started a binder on
his fall wheat south of town Monday.
He has a good crop, much better than
Was expected a few days ago. Tim
othy haying Is In full blast and on Ir
rigated lands the yield of hay Is much
better than was predicted, being al
most a full crop. On the hill lands
the crops are far short of being a fail
ure, but the lack of rain and the late,
ness of the season have cut the results
far short of the average yield. Both
haying and harvest are later than
usual this year, owing to the late sea
son. Wallowa Sun.

When Will It Hit the Earth?
The giant fixed star Arcturus,
which has been apparently traveling
straight for the earth at a speed of i
300,900 miles a second for ages, seems
to get no closer.
The star Is almost directly In line
with the sun and Infinitely farther
away, so much farther that the sun's
distance of 92 million miles seems but
a step. When Arcturus comes In col
lision with the solar system the lat
ter, Including the earth, will disap
pear in the twinkling of an eye, to
become mere particles of cosmic dust
Arcturus Is many times the size
of tho sun, and his eight planets
combined and his habits are well
known to astronomers. By the term
Vflxed" is meant that the star has
no orbit, but travels On a tangent,
which line It will follow until some
body larger than Itself halts it
Put Out Forest Fire.
A small fire In the woods has been
burning for a few days between Eas
ton and Lake Kachess, according to
J. T. Handsaker who has Just return
ed from the lake in his auto, says
the Yakima Republic.
The road between Easton and the
lake was Impassable for a few hours,
but campers were In no danger at
any time. The fire, while doing con
siderable damage to cordwood and
some logs belonging to the Cascade
Lumber company, did not get close
enough to Eaton to cause any alarm.
H. E. Bhandz observer for the recla
mation service at Easton, got together
25 or 30 men, and after an all night s
fight succeeded In extinguishing the
fire so that there Is no further dan
ger of Its spreading. It Is supposed
that the fire originated through the
carelessness of some employe at work
on the new state wagon road.
