Tiie latest is the announcement by IMwm Gould, "jiathfindor for the ocean to ocean railroad" ambition of his brother, George, that the Gould Hue." would be built not ouh to San Francisco but alio to Portland. lfor 11 year or more it has been believed that the Goulds were behind the little line running from Keno to Likely and known its the California, Nevada ci Oregon This line is being steadily pushed lor ward to Lakevicw, mid the gen crul belief is that Gould will enter Oregon at Lakevicw and cross the Mate northward to Portland. Thnt would bring his line directly through tills section and would insure trans portation for llcml and the llcud country. The fact that Hurrlmau officials have suddenly announced their de termination to build into Lakevicw at once would lend strength to the thedry that Gould would enter Oregou at that place. It will un doubtedly be a race between the two systems to sec who can occupy that territory first. The Portland Journal sizes up the situation ns follows! Announcement from a member of the Gotild family that the West- " ' T eru Pacific Knllroml company will hulld into Portland, Oregon, was received today by The Journal from Han Francisco. The news is taken to mean (hat the railroad from Reno to Likely, known as the California, Nevada & Oregon, long regarded n a Gould line atld now under construction toward Lake view, Oregon, will be extended by some 'convenient route Into the Willamette valley and Portland. lvvcr since the Western' Pacific was projected to the Pacific Const It has been believed that tlic Gould twoplc must do more than merely trip San Francisco to justify the construction of so large a mileage through the numerous mountain ranges between Salt Lake mid the California const. The road bad unniiy oceu commenced wueii tin little lino running from Keno to Madeline, with a survey to Lake view, changed hands under cir cumstances that stamped the trans fer ns a Gould purchase. I'.vcr since that time it lias been exacted thnt the Western Pacific would break into Oregon. The news that It lius determined to do so was. anticipated a few days ngo by the Hnrriman lines, which have included Lake county (u their scheme of railroad development in eastern and southern Oregon A week ago the chief official of the Southern Pacific IncorpaVated a company to build n line Trom An derson via the cast shore of Goose lake to central Oregou. Yesterday Oregon officials of the Ifarrinun lines lucorinrated another company nt Salem, to build a short stretch of road between Lakevicw ' nnd the California line. These develop ments have come in succession with startling suddenness, and in the nature of bolts out 01 n clear sky The public had no expectation ol such serious moves on the railroad checkerboard in Oregon and north ern California The reason now Ixrcomcs plain 1'he decision of the Western Pacific to immediately begin construction cf its Oregon extension was no sooner made than the Hnrriman in- icrcsts became advised of it and quick action was tieccssiry to get trategic ndvnntne.es. 1 he ouiclals of the lfnrrimaii lines have lo-t no time. It is said the result means another railroad building contest' like the north bank race, nnd the Litest contest is for transportation control of Lake' county and the Harney valley.

A BUNDLE OF LIES Slntldcr Are Being Spread AboVt H. C Kills. TACTICS OP TIIH OPPOSITION t"s Uslne Desperate nnd DlrtiMclhodsto Defeat Mr. IIIH Voter Should Kot tlo fooled Thereby, t t News lias reached llcud within the last few dn vs that most malicious and slanderous lies are being told over the coiiuty ngniust II. C. Kills. These storiesjirc absolutely without louminiioti nun are merely tiie iat ricntions of a mind so low and des picable that it will Mop at nothing to accomplish its ends Of course the object in view Is to discedit Mr. I'.llis before the voters, hoping thereby to defeat him iu the race for county judge. The man or men who are responsible for the spread ing of these reports know they can not defeat II C. Hills, iu n clean and fair contest, so they stoop to the ilirtv work or tpreadlng slanders against him. How do the voters like suJi tac tics as these? Atld what do they think of n clique Hint carries on u campaign by such methods? Do ttiev want to elect to county office men whose stock in tra Ic consists in the ability to get out ut'd spread damaging and scurrilous lies about the man whom they wish to defeat? The Uitltctiti is certain that Crook county votors will stand (or no such tactics as the opponents of Mr. Ullis urc using, and to show their disap proval will give Mr. Kills the larg est vote ever cast in the count v. Iu view of the fact that such stories are being- circulated, The Bulletin would warn people against paying any attention tojlieut what ever. Tliey are absolutely grounu- less and malicious. There arc only a few days remaining before elec tion and the 'men who seek Mr. Kllis defeat will put forth their most strenuous efforts during that time. Hence The liitllctiu again urges that 110 credit lw given to any of these slanderous reports. Mr. Kills' recprd is open to the world. There is nothing in it that needs to lie hidden. (liven I'roper .Medicine. Heie's a story that's too good to keep. One of the men who arc re sponsible for the above slanders .started his low stories against Mr. Kllis iu a saloon at Madras. At first those present gave him the "horse laugh" but finally, upon his persisting in such talk, six 'r eight of them took after him and ran him out of the saloon. He skidoocd like n scared rabbit and took refuge in the hotel. Later after the Madras men had had time to think it over and get real mad, they started to the hotel after the fellow but he made a rapid "get away" nnd sneuked out of town. That's good work. Such a man should be run out of every town that he visits. TRA1PURANCB MDBTINQ. Interesting Program, with Local Speakers, Rendered at (list. GtST, May 35.

WELLS WILL BG DRILLED Morsel Stolen from WardweHCrumat, I'rlncvllle Other Item of Inter est from Central Oregon- That there is oil throughout this ection in paying quantities Is the opinion of J. W. Ross, an oil ex Iiert from Ftillcrton, Calif , win wns brought here by the local com pnuy organised to prospect for oil in Crook county, says the Madras Pioneer. Mr Rujss arrived tlu first of the week, tincc which timi he has been busy going over the ground leased by the company, with a view to locating the point at which the lira well will be sunk The point at which the well is to lw sunk has been practically decid ed upon, but members of the com pany arc retiicut about making the exact location public unttTotbef ar rangements which they ire work ing on have been completed. Mr. Ross is an oil expert, of 23 cars, experience, and the fact that he is unqualifiedly pleased with the, prospect for oil in this section has greatly enthused the cumbers of the local company. It has been known for many years that in the Culver and Lamouta district there were many indications of oil, and that 'the government ecological maps qf this section showed indica tion of coal at many points, but Mr. Ross is the first expert of any reputation who has made a careful examination of the district with a view to making exploration of the depths below the basalt flow of this section. The work of drilling the first well will begin in a short time, the machinery having been ordered some time ro, and an order hav ing been placed this week for lum ber with which to build the drill tower- This tower will be 64 feet in height and 20 feet square at the base, and the well will be sunk to a depth of several thousand feet l "c"y, ' racr w " e f bearing Stratum. Morses Stolen at I'rlBcvlllc. The Journal of last week says that on Wednesday morning Ward well Cram discovered that his team, horses of medium weight, oue brown and the other a bay. had been stolen from his barn. Tracks leading from the barn were followed for, a distance of some 10 miles north of this place where they were lost tu the Blue mountains. A force of six or wore men are in that couutry now looking for the matt. A man named Young, who was convicted of horse stealing iu Wheeler county a few weeks aco and was sentenced to :ctve a term of two years, broke jail at Fossil early last week. lie was standing in the corridor of the jail talking to his wife the night before he was to be taken to Salem and when the sheriff's back was turned he ran through an open door into tlic slteritt s oltice and jumped through a large plate glass window into the street. He was badly cut about the face by the broken glass. From Fossil he came to Mitchell and over the mountain through Summit Prairie and down the Ochoco to the Kutghtcu place where he spent Thursday night last wwk. From this place he followed the main road on foot, until he reached a point 'about three utiles east of town. From that time until the present there has been nothing heard of him, It is believed that Young Is the man who stole Cram's team. Much Alonoy Changed Hands. Considerable good Crook county mouey has gone over into Grant county as a Result of the tacts which came to a dose last 'Week The officer boys and Jo "Combs brought a couple of liar'scs to the. races which seemed to be winners.
