There ntc many who believe tlut xnmi'tliliiK definite will be done tins vttir in 1 Ik wu v of building a railroad Into Central Oregon. Judgfug from the "aigus of the times" there is much to give these people en couragement. The lliillctin lias It from a most reliable souice that J. l. O'llrlen. general muuagrr of the O. K. t N iiiitl president of the Corvtillls & Haslet 11, recently told a Demi man that If that $100,000,000 of new Itondu to Ik? isiuctl by the Union Pacific I.ikIk 11 ready market, a portion of it will be used to build a tine up the Deschutes river to the llcml country. There in no doubt but thnt Uic IxJiiiW will find a read vile, as note Harrinmn's reply on May 10 to u ipicHtiou regarding rallro.nl htmttrev He. said; "The roads nre nble to get all the money ucccwry to flnnucc them; in lact tlicy can fiuaiue themselves now." O' Hrien is anxious to build ami will do so as nooii as his chief gives pcriniiwiloti, and llarrtmau will give the glnd word as soon as the neccs nary funds nre available. Another move in the rniltond Hue Is the formation of a $13,000. 000 coiMriitHiti by Hiurimau men to build a road into Lakcview from California.

Wilson, the republican nominee for disttict attorney, needs no introduction to the people of Wasco and Crook counties mid the voters of nil parties arc glad to have the opportunity of voting for Mr Wilson for this office, lie has lived in Wasco county from his boyhood days till manhood's estate and has endeared himself with all who have come to know him. In the practice of law hu has been singularly .suc cessful and has taken part in the most important litigation of recent years in this district and will bring to the district attorney's office n training which eminently qualifies him for this duty. As deputy dis trict attorney he has, participated in nil the momcutuous criminal cases which have attracted wide attention in our county atitl has performed his part in 11 way that 1ms brought him the confidence and respect of the people. This is the first time Mr. Wilson has ever been a can didate, for office and the Chronicle is satisfied the voters will rally to his support ina generous manner on election day. There will be no mis. take made in his election, The Dalles Chronicle. If you want a brand new sewing machine, direct from the factory, at u great reduction in mice, you should call at this office.

FARMERS ARE HAPPY Heavy Isjalns Assure Big Crops at Madras. A RUNAWAY CAR OP FLOUR Looked as Though It Would Wreck Freight Train, but tho Runaway finally Jumped tho Track. Farmers in the vicinity of Mad ras are jubilant. The long con tinued drought in that section was broken last week by n copious downX)iir and it is said the farmers already can feel their pockctbooks bulging-. A dry winter and spring in the I Agency l'lains and Madras .sections had left the crop outlook for 1908 in a very dubious condition the poorest in six yars. The soil was ho dry that there would have been practically n crop failure. Dut happily this is now averted and the recent rains practically assure an average crop. Hatfield, the rain maker, is operating in Sherman county and the Madras Pioneer .says "it may be one of his precipi tating bolts got lost, strayed up this way, and loosened up things." The danger of a crop failure at Madras only goes to show plainly how much better it is to farm in a .section where irrigation is practiced, as for instance in the Ilcnd country. A Runaway Car A car loaded with flour from The Dalles, broke away from the Wasco Warehouse & Milling Co. ware house about train time Saturday morning and whizzed out of Moro, down grade at the rate of 70 miles an hour. The freight train was a short distance a head of it and bets were easy that there would he somcJody killed when the runaway caught up with it, which fortunate ly uidn t happen, as the Hour, car literally flew into the air a mile be hind the train and averted a calam ity. Hardly was .1 scratch made on the tics where the cur left the track, and the trucks shot 100 yards ahead of the wreck, which was total. About 200 sacks of flour out of the cor load, was saved, in passable condition. Moro Ob server. Qround for the Smith Appeal, The Crook County Journal says tkcfe are two points on which the attorneys for C. Sam Smith base the reasons for an appeal. They arc whether the judge was correct iti admitting evidence connecting Smith with the burning of the sheep camp on another date and the fence cutting and distributing of poison when there were cbarges on tie docket of the court against him on these counts. The State held that these were all a part and parcel of the same scheme and they were admitted by the court as such. The other point was whether or not the judge should have had the testimony of KUiott stricken from the books entirely after it had been impeached by other witnesses. The other three couuts against Smith were allowed to stand on the court books pending the action of the supreme court in the case just closed. Lost In the Timber. According to the story told by homesteaders returning from the Illy country it is very probable that during the summer some hunter or timber man will find the bleached bones of a human being in the vicinity of Gerhart Mountain. The story told by a Swede homesteader who lived on his claim during the entire winter is that a few months ago when the snow was about 10 feet deep, one evening a Dago came to his cabin. The man was travel ing northward nud was without snow shoes. The homesteader wanted him to remain over night but this the traveler refused to do. The following morning the Swede attempted to track the fellow, but soon lost the trail in the snow. It is very probable that the man per ished in the mountains and that hi remains 'will be found rwoncr or later. The homesteader who tells the talc remained hi the woods throughout the entire winter and the story was not learned until the homesteaders began to go back to their claims n few weeks ago Klamath Republican. Koine Large Sum for Library Building A subscription list is being cir culated, having for its object the raising of money wherewith to erect a building in which to house the Free Reading Room and Library. It will be built on the ground owned by the Library, will be 24x40 in size, and willcost about $i?oo. So far the sum of $825 has been subscribed. The enter prise is a most laudable one, and should receive the earnest support of all. Lakcview Herald. Woolen Mills at Klamath Fall. The proprietors of the Oregon City woolen mill arc investigating Klamath Falls with a view of build ing a mill there. Southern Oregon is a (great sbcen country and it is believed that Kalamath Falls would make a fine location for woolen mills, now that transportation is assured by the building of a rail road to that place. A SUDDEN DEATH. Frank Glass Died from Apoplexy Last Wednesday Night. One of the saddest deaths The Bulletin has been called upon to chronicle for ;otnc time is that of Frank Glass, who died from apoplexy last Wednesday night alxmt 10:30 o'clock. He, in com pany with Mr. Aldrich, was at bis home on the Swalley ditch between Bend and Redmond About it o'clock he awoke and asked Mr. Aldrich to build a fire, stating that he believed he had taken cold. After building the fire, Aldrich started to go to Sherwood Bros.' ranch after some medicine Re turning as soon as possible he found that the sick man had died during his absence. It is supposed death resulted from apoplexy. The deceased was about 45 years of age and unmarried. He wxs one of the first comers to these parts after irrigation development started, having come about eight years ago. He enjoyed a wide ac quaintance and every man who knew him was his friend. Every body had a god word for Frank Glass. The news of his death came as a ccnuine shock to the entire community. The deceased is survived by only one brother, a sister- having died last fall. The remains will be tak en to Corvallis for interment, the former home of the family. Up to the time of his sudden death he was in his usual health, and had been working Wednesday building flumes on his larm. Notes from Butte. Hot tk. Mav ia. C. It.
