floutd Will llulld Line through Tills
Section to Portland,
lvicli week brings interesting
development:! lit railtond news. 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.

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

in height and 20 feet square at
the base, and the well will be sunk
to a depth of several thousand feet

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.
