HILL 10 BUILD
LI ACROSS STATE
RAILROAD SURE FROM ONTARIO
TO COOS BAY MOTORS ON
O. R. & N. R. R. . '
Portland, March 29 That James J.
Hill will build an east and west line
of railway across Central" Oregon,
from Ontario to Cooa Bay, wasi stated
on good authority during the past
week. The projected line will con
nect ' with the Grand Trunk, the
Hill road now being built up the
Deschutes, and with the Oregon. Elec
tric In the Willamette Valley, be
lieved to be another Hill property.
This will mean a gridiron of new
railroads for Oregon, during the com
ing few years that will bring about
a development in this state never
before approached. All Central. Ore
gon ne9ds is railroads; It has ev
erything else but people and the rail
roads will bring them.
An lnterurban service that Is de
signed to meet the needs of the
cities, of ttie state has Just been
announced by the Harrlmam lines.
Beginning this week, gasoline: motor
cars will be put In service on the
main ' line of the Southern' Pacif ic
between Ashland and Grants Pass
and another on the Springfield
branch between Albany and Spring
field. Another car of the same type
will be put on between Pendleton
and Umatilla, on the O. R, & N. with
in the coming week. These motor
cars are designed. 'to handle, the lo
cal business in the territory they
cover and serve the different commu
nities, much In the same way as, ln
terurban electric trains. They have
been found very convenient wherever
tried1 and will no doubt aid the de
velopment of the districts served! to
a great extent.
Cattle and hogs have made new
records. In the Portland, livestock
market during the past jweekv Hogs
sold 'at the, remarkable price . of
$11.50 per 100 pounds, live weight,
and e tee r a of the best grade brought
$6.75 per 100 pounds (WaUowa coun
ty cattle shipped from Enterprise).
Mutton also attained a record, a.
lot of good grade lambs going c.t
$12 a 100 pounds, a good price
for any season,
Not For the Branch,
Rum ore that the gasoline motors
Are Coming!!
;
would be Installed on the Wallowa
county branch are groundless says
the La Grande Star. Officials of
the railroad say the motors would
be Impracticable as they carry but
70 passengers and there Is hardly
ever a train on the branch that does
not carry , that many besides a large
amount of baggage, express and
mall. It .would . require several of
the cars to handle the business on
the branch
A STRONG INDORSEMENT
OF OSTEOPATHY
When the bill providing for an
Osteopathic Board of Examiners, a
bill which became a law, was before
the legislature of Georgia last sum
mer. Judge John L. Hopkins of that
State wrote a strong letter favoring
its passage. In this letter he wrote
of the treatment he had received
from an osteopath of his city from
which, we quote the following;
"He gave no assurances, made no
promises. His treatment and. Its
marked effects soon broke down my
prejudices against the new system,
viy Improvement was obvious, and
Soon was to all appearances1 com
plete. The unpleasant symptoms
passed away and I felt myself to be
In better condition than I had been
for many years. That I owe my
present good health all to the oste
opath, I do not doubt. : The system
may run counter t Qur preconceived
opinions and to the theories and
practices- of ages, but nevertheless
the facts remain.' All progress flies
in the face of the present and a ven
erated past. Judging from my cjwn
case and from a number of cases
chat have come under my. observa
tion, I would not, If I had the power,
withhold this system of healing from
suffering humanity, for the wealth
of the world. To withhold It, would
oe a crime against humanity. I write,
strongly, but It 1 deliberately done."

Cove, living there until 1899, when
they moved to Wallowa county,
where he has since made his home
and .where Mrs. Haggerty died In
May, 1904. .
Besides a host of friends through
out Eastern Oregon, Mr. Haggerty
leaves to mourn Ms death, twelve
children, seven sons and five daugh
ters: Joe Haggerty of Delamar, Id
aho, Will and Charles of Union, Ore..

Need More Room
In Public Schools
Board Is Now Considering the MaV
' ter Teacher Engaged for
Next Year.
Additional room must be had In
the public school and the school
board is now considering whether
to adopt the makeshift of adding an
other room to the present building
or erect a new building on the south
end of the present school lot.
Another room added to the pres
ent building would almost certainly
spoil It In appearance and probably
shut off the light from one or more
of the present rooms. The best so
lution would be to erect a two or
three room building In the west part
of town for first and second primary
pupils and third and fourth grades.
At the meeting of the school board
Saturday, four of the present corps
of teachers- were re-engaged for
ext year, namely: H. Mae Jeffer
son at $73 a month; Mabel Murray,
$70; Eva B. Haas, $60, and Jessie
M. Hyde, $60.
Principal C. 0. Mack was offered
nia position for another year at toe
same salary, $116, but baa not yet
accepted.
High School Teachfsr
The cqunty high school board has
re-elected aU the present efficient
corps of teachers In the county high
school for next year, and all have
signified their acceptance except
Mrs, Ivanhoe.

BEST LIME IN THE WORLD
MADE FROM BLACK! MARBLE
NEAR HERE.
What la destined to be an Indus
try of no mean proportions Is now
being developed near the mouth of
Hurricane canyon. Just southwest of
this. city. Charles Christy, has been
burning a good quality of lime in
the canyon for several years, 'but
last summer he experimented with
the' weU known black marble of
which there are immense deposits
in the canyon. The result exceed
ed all' expectations, the product be
ing a chalk white lime, almost ab
solutely pure. It has been trledi and
tested both here at home and out
side and the universal verdict is.
"the best lime we. ever used or saw.''
It le so free from. Impurities, that one
barrel of It goes as far as one and
a half barrels of ordinary lime.
A company has been formed to
exploit the . deposits and is knqwn
as the Black Marble Lime company,
composed of Mr. Christy and his. son
Henry, and George Houser, a well
known capitalist.
One large kiln Is already ht op
eration and a carload of fire brick
recently arrived at this station with
which three new kilns will be built.
giving a capacity of from 15,000 to
20,000 barrels per year. Ed Eben of
Joseph, has contracted to market
the entire product, and S. D. Kelt
ner has the sole sale of the lime
at Enterprise. ...
A car load of barrel staves has
also been received, and shipments
will begin soon. Over 10001 tone of
the marble were gotten out the
past winter ready for burning. When
in, full running the works will give
employment to 12 or 15 men. En
terprise will be the shipping point
of the lime.-
The black marble will doubtless
soon be quarried for other uses, as
It la a beautiful stone and takes
readily a high polish.
Wallowa will vote April 9 on $25,
000 bonds for a new schoolhouso.
