the
WILL GO TO THE COAL MINES
Initial Slop for lluilding- Ho ml to
the morrow County Coal
Field.
At Tuesday's meeting of the cit
council, an ordinance was introduced to
empower the Heppner Railroad it Coal
Company to build a railroad, that
perpetual franchise is asked for.
The franchise asked for will be
the present O. R. & N. depot up
street to May street, and along
is a
from
Gale
May
6treet to Court street.
This is the initial work for the railroad
from this city to the Morrow county coal
fields.
I his initial step is ominous. From
present indications the day is not far
distant when work will be commenced
on this road. It has even been sur
mised by some that a railroad ride to
the coal mines would be possible by the
next Fourth of July, but of course this
is only a matter of speculation. Re
cent developments have been the cause
ef much railroad talk. The opinion is
well founded that the O. R. & N. Co.
will make the Heppner branch the
main line some day. The building of a
railroad from Heppner to the coal mines
would be a start in this direction that
would facilitate the undertaking, for
this would be a good paying line for
more than half the distance.
It said that there are two feasible and
practical routes to build a road to con
nect at Sumpter. One is to follow the
summit of the mountain, and the other
is to follow the John Day into Grant
county and then cross the mountains,
touching at Sumpter.

Salt Lake, Nov. 27. The purchase of
millions of acres of Mexican territory
along the border of the United States,
for the purpose of creating one of the
largest cattle-raising ranches in the
world, is the result of recent negotia
tions of American capitalists, with Utah
men as principals. The Utahans involv
ed in the transaction are J. D. Wood,
W. S. McCornick, F. J. Hagenborth, H.
C. Wood and Josiah Barnett. Associa
ted with them is O. M. Stafford, a bank
er and capitalist of Cleveland.
The purchased land comprises nearly
4fi00 square miles of territory, and ex
tends along the border for 159 miles
from a point 10 miles west of El Paso,
Texas. The purchase involves an initial
expenditure of about $1,000,000.
It is the intention of the promoters of
the enterprise to make this Mexican
ranch a breeding ground for cattle, and
for thiB purpose they will place from
7500 to 10,000 head of'" stock upon the
land the coming season.

Prineville, Nov. 30. A meeting of the
Crook County Stockgrowers Association
WftB e'(' t0('ay or t',e PurPp8e f meet
ing Mr. Langell, representative of tb
the
Interior Department, at Washington,
who came here for the purpose of meet
ing the stockgrowers personally. This
meeting was attended by the represent
ative stockmen. Mr. Langell assured
the meeting that the department would
not close the reserve as long as the
stockmen acted fairly with it. By ques
tioning those present w ho ranged on the
reserve last year it was made to appear
that the range was left in good condition
and that as many sheep could be easilv
grazed there next year. The cattleunen
were given assurance that thev would
get thir share of the pasturage in the
reserve hereafter.
The discovery was made that all per
mits applied for included young lambs,
giving the department at Washington
'he idea that twice as many sheep went
on the reserve as were actually taken
there.
The recommendation was made by
Mr. Langell and indorsed by those pres
ent that all pariies interested in grazing
sheep on the reserve sow grass seed on
ttie ranges every year. Mr. Langell al
so read to the meeting a copv of a new
application to bn made to the depart
ment for permits. This also seemed to
give general satisfaction, arid there is no
doubt that the visit of .Mr. Langell will
be of great benefit.
