MEETING PLACE
Oregon ranks seventh among all
tha states in railroad building dur
ing 1909. These figures are com
piled by the leadiDg railroad pub
lications of the country and show
that the Beaver state added 134
miles to its railroads during the
vear just closed. The Pacific
Northwest is declared to be the
great goal of competitive railroad
building in the United (States. The
struggle of the railroads to enter
Central Oregon is detailed and de
velopment in the Willamette Val
ley and in the Oregsn Coast coun
try is recorded. This is a far bet
ter showing for the pnst year than
was made in 1908. when 79 miles
of new railway was built in this
state.

After the selection oE Portland,
Or., for the next meeting place,
the 46th annual session of the Na
tioDal Woolgrowers' association
came to a close Saturday. All the
present officers were re-elected as
follows:
President, VV. Fred Gooding
Shoshone, Idaho; eastern vice pres
ident, A. J. Knollin, Chicago: wes
tern vice president, J. M. Delfeld
er, Walton, Wyo.
The contest for the meeting
place of 1911, was between Port
land, Oregon and Boise, Idaho, but
just before the voting began, the
Idaho delegation withdrew Boise,
and the selection of Portland, was
made by unanimous vote.t
The association adopted the re
port of tne committee on resolu
tions without change. It was also
voted that the association should
become an incorporated body.
The resolutions emphatically
condemned "tariff tinkering," and
declared that protection was the
salvation of the wool industry.
Past regulation of the forestry
service was declared to be based
"more upon theory than tipon
knowledge" and more favorable in
terpretation of the grazing laws is
demanded. A , special minimum
clause is also desired in the 36
hour limit law on livestock trans
porta! ion. Hearty approval is al
so expressed of the efforts of the
National SVool Warehouse and
Storage Company in marketing
woo, and western cities are praised
for the establishment of independ
ent warehouses.

Sumoter, Or.. Jan. 5. The an
nounced intention of theOreRon Refin
ing & Smelting Company to start the
plant in this city ss goon as Spring
will permit transportation of ores
has had the effeot of stimulating
owners of properties. The unusually
cold weather has retaided operations
considerably and no great undertak
ing will be begun until it changes.
Roada are io excellent shape for haul
ing, but few properties are ready for
operation.
Several mineowners have started
plans for shipments of ore to the
smelter as soon as the plant starts
Among these are several in the
Susauville district, also Gianite and
Greenhorn. Susanville embraces the
Stockton, Badger, Chattanooga, Gold
Bug and Monitor. The first two are
old-timo producers and have large and
well developei ore bodies. Exorbitant
shipmnnts rates have kept them
inactive for several vears. The same
an be said of the leading mines of
the Granite and Greenhorn districts.
The completion of the Sumpter
Valley Railway to Prairie Citv will
reduce the mileage of team hauling
to about one-half of that with whioh
the Susanville people have had to
contend in past years This route will
be in operation early in the Spring.

Guarded Night and Day.
Bert Green, Ben Ilinton and El

arrested charged with the murdrfr
of Ollie Snyder, are now in the
county jail at Canyon City await
ing trial.
Since their arrest and incarcera
tion, the prisoners have been non
committal.
The preliminary 'examica'ion
had been set for the 17th of this
month, but on accouut of Attor
ney Leedy, who has been retained
as counsel by the prisoners, being
summoned to Jsppear in Portland
and not knowing when he can Jre
turn, the attorney for the state has
and was only abandonel when severe ' consented to post pone it until a
later date if necessary.
Every precaution is being taken
by Sheriff Collier that no vio'ence
shall be done to bis prisoners and
that no possible show be 'given
them to escape. The jiil is guard
ed day and night.
Sheriff Collier believes he has
enough evidence to warrant a c n
yiction, and says he will go to the
bottom of the case no matter what
the cost may be. ,

Winter weather called a halt. Regular
trains are now running to the summit
of the divide between Austin and
Prairie City.
In the Cracker Creek district the
Columbia continues with its steady
production of bullion, employing a
large focre the ye round. Concen
trates arrive daily from this mine,
and are shipped to Tacoma. The E.
& E. is reported to be making exten
sive improvements with a contract
igned for supplying ore to the
smelter. The Buckeye is inactive, but
this is only temporary, as with the
opening of Spring operations are
again to be taken up on a more exten
sive plan. The Zenith is operating
with a small force, but this, it is
stated, will be considerably increased
when weather conditions permit.
In the Granite district the Cougar
has not resumed, and there is little
hope of it unless a renewal of the
lease can be secured by former Manager
