Coyote Cutoff Under Way. That the long espected Coyote-Echo cutoff is to be made and made in the near future seems certain from infor mation receive! from semi-official circles, it is now current rumor among local railroad people that an order has been made appropriating the sum of $707,946.25 for the cutoff, This appropriation coming upon the heels of the appropriation of $1,020, 000 lor the elimination or curves beyond Yoaknm and Pendleton means that in the near future the O. R..& N. company ii to spend nearly $2, 000.000 improving its line within this counry and in Morrow county. As now understood the big cutoff is to be from Coyote to Echo, via Stand- field. It will eliminate 8.8 miles of the present distance between Covote and Eolio. At this time the distance is 35 miles and under the proposed cutoff the distance will be reduced to 2(5 3 miles. Coyote is to be made the terminal point, if reports in circulation are correct. It is understood the order oalls for terminal improvements at that place, among other things a ten stall round house to be installed. Just what effeot this will have upon Umatilla seems in doubt. It is the general supposition however, that as far as main line trains are concerned Umatilla will cease to be a division point. Just what route the proposed cut off will tae is also a matter of speculation at this time. It has bJen stated previously that the engineers have figured upon three different rcutes aoross the desert. Which route is to be selected has not yet been disclosed. As to the improvements of the track between Yoaknm and Pendleton it is laid the work to be done soon will reduce the distanoe between Yoakum and Pendleton by one and a half miles. The maximum curvature will be but four degrees while at the present time there are ten degree curves between V oakum and Pendle ton. The improvements ordered also means that the stretch of track at Horseshoe curve wilt be brought up to a standard roadbed. In the past the ballasting and improvement of that stretch of track has been neglected because of the knowledge that a change in tracK was inevitable.

I l i ; XM m m t -.'"V ana Government Timber Sales Pending timber sales from the national forest reserves of Oregon and Washington will mean a rev euue to the two commonwealths of more than 300,000. This sum will go to the ecbool and load funds oE the two states, tha coud ties bonefitted being those in which the timber grew. The distribution of this money will mean great im provement to both states. Sales this year will be the heav iest yet made from government re serves. Last year sales in the two states aggregated 130,000,000 feet board "measure. This year pro posals have been made for the pur chase of about G50.000.000 feet. Growing scarcity of timber on private holdings is leading millmen to the reserves for logs. This in crease is expected to continue for the net few years until the point is reached where only mature tim ber will be cut. '"' otumpage prices tnis year charged by the government are about $2. The forestry law pro. vides that 25 ber cent of the etumpage reveuue shall go to the state where the forest is cut. This means that the revenue to the two states for the coming year from timber cut off forest reserve lands will be about $1,200,000. x The severe winter weather con tinues with the "mercury ranging from 10 to 20 degrees abovS zero, and the ground covered with hbout two inches of snow. While the weather is not cold it is a bard time ou stock and regular feeding is necessary. There is very little hay for sale. Alfalfa is worth S20 per ton while baled wheat hay is bringing $25 per ton. Already stockmen are beginuing to haul out barley in order to make hay go as far as pot--ible. Should the bad weather continue, stockmen will soon face serious conditions, however, heavy losses are not an ticipated owing to the fact that grain can be shipped in. Surveyors at Work.

Mumfaaorert SnrriKHa (jEfmia ' ' 1H The work of the surveyors has been traced along a point east of Willow Creek along what is locally known as Alkali Canyon, thence crossing Rock creek about seven miles above its confluence with the John Day, to Scott's Canyon, and down Scott's Canyou to the John Day River and up the, John Day beyond the mouth of Hay Creek for a distance unknown to the observers of that locality. The preliminary survev is well up the canyon wall, about 250 to 800 feet above Croy, and provision is apparently made for a tunnel from Rock Creek to Scott's Canyon, and for another from the John Day River to Esaw Canyon, in order to avoid a long loop. The identity of the interest behind tiie surveying party has been the oanse of much speculation in that locality. The John Day River has been looked upon as a possible means of access to Central Oregon, bur, the main objec tion to its choice as a route has been that the river rises in the Blue Mountains, in Northeastern Oregon. Its flow is westerly for many miles before it turns to the north and drops into the Columbia River. To set into Crook, Lake or Harney Counties via the Joiiu Duy Kiver either a pass through high spurs of the Blue Mountains would have to be "found or the mountains skirted to the west. Tributary to the John Day. how ever, are rich agricultural and timber resources, now unserved by railroads, in Wheeler and Grant Counties. Rumor in Eastern Oregon has hereto fore named the John Day River Can yon as a means of access for both the Milwaukee and North Coast Rail roads to Interior Oregon. The John Day River, tor a number of years, has also been discussed as furnishing a feasible and shorter route through the Blue Mountains than that now followed by the O. R. & N., and it is suggested that the Harriman system is behind the new .movement. This theory would ex plain the reason for the construction by the Oregon Short Line of 25 miles of railroad from Vale, up another "Willow Creek." to Brogau, work on which is now under way. The construction of theBrogan road was announced as a branch line to sere an irriagted country, but the district to be tapped is said to be too small in itself to justify railroad construction. The branch line is alone the general route of old surveys made up Willow Creek to the Blue Mountain divide. This survey skirted Iron Side Mountain, a peak in the Blue Mountain range, thus getting over the divide to the upper reaches of the John Day Rivor, and thence down the John day. There is a multiplicity in names of minor streams in Orocon. The Willow Creek no which the Brogan branch of the Oregon Short Line is building flows southeasterly into the Malheur River. The Willow Creek montinoed in the reports from Croy ri.ses in tha vicinitv of Heppner and flows northward into the Colum bia. The Iler.oner branch of ttis O. R. & N. is built up the latter creek. Still another Willow Creek Hows through Madras westerly into the Deschutes River, and up thin stream the Oregon Trunk line will build! after leaving the Deschutes Canyon. Croy is located about 2!) miles south of the month of tho John Day River. I Rock Creek flows into the John Day a few miles south of Croy, both from the east. The newly reported surveying activity begins in O. H. & N. territory.
