Ami will a few weeks sec work on that lung delayed road ac tually lgim? These arc two ipies tions that liavc been lot1icrIiiK the minds of nearly everyone in tills K'Ctlon miicu last .Sattirtlay, wlien (.ovcrmir Chamberlain, J. 1 O'llftrii ami I'. S. Stanley arrived in Ilcml in an automobile 011 their way to visit the great Harriimm at his Pelican Hay lodge. They were going 111 irKiimc to mi invitation from the Wall Street wizard, and the genera belief in that they were Invited there to discutri railrojd matters with the great railroad builder. The general sentiment in tlti- Miction ii that this move of llnrri man in inviting thse men to a con fctcucc it the most significant thing that hnn taken place in the railroad game for koim- time. It in believed that the activity of other lines to tap thl .section and the move taken to build the Central Oregon by lo cal Kole, hnn ut lant convinced Jlnrrinini that lt. mutt build into thl part of the slate if he in longer to hold till territory an his own. The Portland Journal has the fol lowing to say regarding this matter' Hdvvatd II. IlarriuiRii, railroad niflicimlc, wants to talk about the long (U-ln)td extension of his sys tem into and through Central Ore gon. Therefore he has invited Oowiior George K. ChamlerUln, 1'. S. Stanley, head man of the ItawhitleM Irrigation & Power com Mity aud promoter of an independ ent rod into the Central Oregon country, and J nine 1. O'llrieu, general manager of the Ilarrimau lined, to make a trip to Pelican Iwy to talk the matter over. The three men will leave l'riday, will go to Shauiko by ttniiniiid from there to' Pelican Day on Klamath lake by MUtomobilc.'. General, Manager O'llrieu re ceived r tcA'graiu yesterday from Mr. llarrjuiau asking that invi tations he extended to Governor" Chamberlain ami Mr,. Stanley to accompany hiiu ou the visit to Pelican Day. In accordance with this it is now planned to start tin Friday. Mr. O'Urien claims that there is nothing of particular interest at taching to the trip. He does not. know, he says, what is going to be talked nlxnit when the party resell-' es the Milliliter home of Mr. Harri man out in the electric-lighted wilds of Klamath county. Governor Doubtful. Governor Chamberlain says that white at any time he would le most pleased to accept an invitation to visit Mr. Ilarrimau ut his camp 011 Pelican Hay, yet just at this time the business of his office would pre Vent his acceptance unless it were that he considered his trip would give him an opportunity to attempt to neciiie good results for the peo ple of the state, particularly of those transpoitatioulcss residents of the central portion of the state. "I expect to discuss the con struction of the Central Oregon road aud of the Crater J.akc road vith Mr. Ilarrimau," the governor said this mottling. "Other than that, I do not know what will be the subject of conversation, and of totirse I do i6 know what will Ix? the result of the trip. I expect it ' iWiiiitMiirtininiM'i n 1' will take me about seven days to go there and return." Although none of the parties to the trip will discuss their journey and its object, it is 'considered that there is much significance in the fact that Mr. .Ilarrimau has sent for the three men ut this time. It is known that General Manager O'llrieu believes in the construction of a Central Oregon road aud in the oH.'iiIug of the interior of the state to railroad transportation. It Is the general impression that if left to his own initiative Mr. O'llrieu would put a railroad into the interior in short order. Mr. Stanley is the vice-president of the Deschutes Irrigation S: Power company, which coloration now lias some 300,000 acres under water near ISeud. Railroad transportation is vital, therefore, to the full de velopment of his property. At the present time Mr. Stanley is also the proiuntcr of a luie of road extend ing from Ilcnd to Madras and 011 thiough the Cascades to Portland by way of Cazadeto.

While there is more or less ex citement this week due to the visit of Governor Chamberlain, J. P. O'llrieu and P. S. Stanley to Mr. Marriiiiiiu at Pelican Hay, yet work 011 our own local road, the Central Oregon, is going forward steadily. Pruicville held an enthusiastic rail load meeting last Saturday aud tip (minted a local executive committee to look after the matter of raising subscriptions for the road. C. M. Klkitis was appointed chairman of this committee. Thete will be an other meeting nt Piiueville next Saliitday to urrauge plans more lully, nt which meeting Koscoe Howard will be present. Priue villc is taking hold of the railroad ptopotitiou with zeal, and will do Its share. II. P.

Hugiuecr Gault reports that the crew is now working north of Madras on the way to Shauiko and ts seeming n very good line. The old Columbia Southern survey hud a grade of about 1 6 between ilcml and Madras. This has al ready been 1 educed to 1.5, aud Mr. Gault says he believes they will be able to reduce it to 1 4 when final location is made. The crew aver ages about 2j miles of preliminary Hue a day.

SURVUVORS RUN A NKW UNR Intcrcstlni: Particulars About Survey Itclnic Hun lor Central Oregon Railroad Other Note. Harney county has met with . a misfortune that will re-act to the benefit of the farmers of Crook county. The wlicuc crop in liar uey has been burned up diiriut: the past two or three weeks, ami Hnr ney county tK-ople are already Ik ginning to haul wheat from Priue villc. The Review says: "A freighting outfit is now on the way to Priuevillc from Hums to buy aud trausort 3.000 sacks of Crook county wheat to Harney county, the wheat crop of which is this year teporled to be a total fail ure, having burned to a frazzl in the last two weeks. This wheat will be taken from the Prineville Flouring Mills Coinwuy's supply, and later the Agency Plains will he tapped. While Harney county de serves sympathy, this county will not lie the loser by the disaster to its neighbor." (tunning a New Line. The surveyors of the Central Or egon railroad moved their camp to Culver the first of the week, am' are running a line southwest from Madras, through the Opal Prairie country, to a crossiim on Crooked river about Trail Crossing. This survey is being run to see what kind of a line could be secured by that route. When this work i- completed, which will probably 1 bv the first of next week, the surveyor will re turn to Madras and from here it is expected that the survey will go on to Shauiko, following the old .HA rwrss Tins . Columbia Southern survey There has been some discussion of a line down I ml Inn creek and through Anl'dope, and a survev of that route may be made The chief ob jection is the additional mileage, as it would increase the length ot the road several miles. It is believed, however, that a good grade could be secured by that route, and some of the heavy work avoided which the Ward's creek route would make necessary. Pioneer Laldlaw l:He Demurrer. W. A.

ABOUT BEND SCHOOL An Article Descriptive of Educational System. CITIZENS ARC PROGRESSIVE An Interesting lilt of School History Woven In wlili Pacts Concerning Present Illxh-CUs Facilities. Having CHlled attention tolicnd's excellent location for school pur tHjseu in The Uulletiii of July 17, we will take up tile next subject in importance for. a successful school, namely the school p.itrou, or voter. It matters very little how favor able the locution or how numerous uud bright the children may be in a vicinity, if the school's patrons, or voters, are unwilling to support and maintain a good school system, then it will fail and 111 tins con nection the pitron may justly be called file foundation, a position of such iiHtortauce that when con sidered from an architectural view is at once app.iraot Aj the school voter directly se lects the location for the school .site, provides funds for buildings aud maintenance of property Slid school, elects the board, and indi-, recti) through the board manage-' the school system, these are nil sub jects for consideration under this head. One of the great surprises to educators from the Atlantic coast wot. tliat the general school ex hibits ut the fairs at Chicago, St. Louis aud Portland from the thinly settled states of the West greatly surpassed those from their own, but thoo of us who sec the carefully selected school sites, the well vetiti lated and splendidly furnished school buildings throughout the. West are not surprised m the least when we remember the stuffy little and poorly furnished school rooms imiiiiiuiuUmun l jiLaj.jtig into which we used to be crowded on the Atlantic coast. Nor are wi surprised when considering the dif ference in school management, for farmers on the Atlantic coast can barely make .1 living on their land their property continually depre ciatcs and their sous and daughter are attracted by the allurements o, city life, while throughout the Pa cific states men of all profession are attracted to the farm from which enormous profits spring and lands that were waste a few years ago arr now worth lu some localities from $t,ooo to Si, 500 per acre. The school patrons being com posed of the school voters their willingness to supply and maintain a good school can only be surmised from the past. Our knowledge of the Bend school voters began with our arrival in toco Imagine our surprise when we learned that with only three or four scholars, a school was main tained here for a term fully as long and in a building almost as large as the one into which about ninety (Continued -ou page 4.) FIRES ARE UNDER CONTROL Report from Fire Southeast of Bend States that Not Much Damage Was Done to Mature Timber. A note received by The Bulletin from the scene of the forest fire southeast of Bend says that on Aug ust 19 the fire was burning in sec lions 1, ii, 30 and 31, township 21, range 15; sections 34, 35 and y, townships 21, range 14; and sec tions 1 and 12, township 22, rangr. 14. The latter numbers arc rather badly burned especially where any of the land runs to a buttc, other wise the other matured timber Ir not hurt much, but it has damaged considerably a goodly portion of the young growth. The fire fighter arc now masters of the situation. Redmond Kerns. Rruuond, Aug. 16. If no fun ty lag a bachelor, at the best.
