tllcatc that the beginning of con

general concensus of opinion is that
construction will le conuucnccd
in 11 few days after the result of the
election U known, nud with the
survcyn liclng rapidly completed
and with right of way being c
cured, it is very rcaxouablc to ex

actual construction will greet the
ears of Central Oregon people with
in a very short time. Kveryonc in
these parts is anxiously waiting and
hoping that the momcutuous an
uounccment will be made within a
few days after November 3.
The Orcgoulaii has the following
article regarding the condemnation
proceedings;
The bcglnhlng of condemnation
proceedings against five owners
pf laud along the Deschutes river
for a right of way for the Deschutes
Hallway Company at The Dalles is
regarded as an announcement by
the Ilarriuiau oflicials as to the
route that will be followed in enter
ing the vast irrigated district of
Crook county nil thence into the
Klamath country.
The proceedings were begun nt
The Dalles Friday, Oct. 23, by
Attorney W. W. Cotton, general
counsel for the Hnrrimau interests.
It is generally believed that the
suit U in reality n definite state
ment by the I larrlman oflicials that
entrance into Central and Southern
Oregon will be made from 11 point
mi the Columbia river near the
Deschutes. The raid will extend
to Ilend, its ultimate objective point,
according to Mr. Cotton, being the
Klamath country.
Five owners of laud along the
Deschutes river arc made defend
ants in the suits for right of way.
The tract to be condemned lies
along the bank of the river between
White and Crooked rivers. One of
.the defendants is the Oregon State
Land Hoard.
In ruilroad circles the suit is also
believed to menu an attempt on the
part of the Ilarriuiau interests
either to thwart the Hill interests
or anticipate them In reaching the
rich hut Inaccessible country of
Central and Southern Oregon. 'The
road, if completed, would be nn out
let for 300,000 acres of irrigated
lauds in western Crook county,
bordering on the Deschutes river.
Already the Oregon Trunk Line,
which rumor has designated as a
Hill road, is seeking it right of way
along the west side of the narrow
Deschutes river. There arc nt
present is crews of engineers in the
canyon, nud the lliurimau interests
arc well represented.
The connection with the O. U.
& N. rond of the proimscd Dqs
chutes river road would, according
to this mtit, be located near the
mouth of the Deschutes, between
The Dalles nml the town of Hlggs.
The Oregon Trunk Line Is being
constructed by Porter Hros., V. F.
Nelson and V. I). Williamson, rail
road contractors.
"According to the articles of in
corporation of the Deschutes road,"
.said Mr. Cotton, "the proposed

manufactured, and announcement
of actual construction should be

C. 0. Railroad Co. Has Not Sold Out.
During the past week there has
been a rumor to the clTect that the
Central Oregon Railroad Company
had sold out to the Ilarriuiau inter
ests. When questioned as to the
truth of this rumor, Mr Roscoc
Howard, who has been the moving
spirit behind the local railroad from
its inception, replied: "There is
nothing to it. The Central Oregon
has sold out to no one. Wc have
not abandoned the project for n
moment. However, if the Central
Oregon Railroad had sold out to
Harrlman, the people could rest
assured that the transaction in
cluded n guarantee that n railroad
would be built."
RANQU SIIUI2I A NUISANCE.
Adam Kotzman llntera Protest Against
Actions of Herders.
Adam Kotzman complains to The
Uullctin tuat n baud of sheep be
longing to Morrow & Kccuan of
Willow Creek lias caused much nn
noyance in his neighborhood dur
ing the past week. The herders
have kept a baud of about 1500
head in that locality for several
days and nrc rnuglng them over
that section. Instead of driving
the sheep through they have been
kept there and are eating nil the
grass, thus depriving the local
ranchers of pasturage for their
horses and cattle besides injuring
the laterals and canals to n great
extent hv tramping.
Mr. Kotzman says that Morrow
& Keenau'r. herders have done this
for the past two or three years, nud
he considers it nil imposition.
While he believes the stock men
should be given nil due protection
and encouragement, he !u In favor
of making them keen their sheep u
the county rond nud not allowing
them to cat up all the pasturage as
they pass through the vicinity. The
sheep upt only nrc destroying nil
the pnsturngc 011 the tiufenccd
lauds, but they over-run the ranch
ers' places more or less and nre n
great nuisance and annoyance. It
certainly seems tint Mr. Kotzman
takes n reasonable stand regarding
this matter, and the sheep men
should hnve n little more respect
for the rights of the ranchers
through these parts.
Mr. Kotzman believes that the
legislature should pass n law re
(lulling nil fences along county
roads to be built so as to be stock
proof. Then the sheepmen could
drive their sheen through the coun
try without being n nuisance to
every much that they pass, His
greatest complaint, however. Is
against the action of the Morrow &
Keetinu herders 111 kecninfr their
sheep In one locality until the pas
turage is destroyed.

GOOD WORDS POR CROOK.
Or. Witliycnnibe Seea Much Progress
In Development of Crook County.
In au in tei view in the Prlucville
Journal, Dr. Withycombc of the
Oregon Agricultural College, has
Mime good things to say nbout
Crook county. He said in part:
"This Is my third trip into Crook coun
ty, and each time I have noted percepti
ble progress in development of the stock
and agricultural Industries of this ace
lion. I also find the systems of farming
changing from the range to more of a
real farm condition; that while Crook
county has been noted for Its great
ranges nnd the uumtcr of ita livestock,
It will become more noted for the great
1111 ui tier of its small prosiwrout farms.
The immense area of agricultural land
lu this county Is nrc-cmineutly suited
for the livesUck industry. There is no
reason why the finest draught horses and
the very l-cat beef cattle, as well s sheep
and hogs, should not be produced here
in ureal numbers.
"In the fair pavilion, the fruit display
rather surprised me, the applet especial
ly. 1'otatoca, also, were excellent and
seemingly of very fine quality. Another
surprUc was your corn display, which
shows conclusively the hospitality of the
climate of Crook county. The exhibits
at the pavilion have convinced me that
Crook county hat a much wider range
of production than hat generally been
conceded to It."

A Place of Recreation Needed.
The Iakeview Herald asks the
question, "What shall we do on
btitiday?" and then proceeds to
point out a condition of affairs that
calls urgently for some place of
amusement where men may gather
aud pass their leisure moments.
The Herald says:
Last Sunday, day aud evening, the
Hotel Lakevicvv office was packed. Hvery
chair was occupied nud ns many persons
were standing. Half of llicfc people
were not uuestaof the hotel, but were
citizens of the town iu search of a com
fortable place to spend the ev cuing.
The wentlier wna very cold. Many were
working men, clerks and mechanics who
had 110 home to go to, and It was too
early to rvtiie to their alceplng apart

REDUCE GRAZING FEE
Forest Official Lower the
Rate on Sheep.
IN EFFECT N.OXT SEASON
IJevUed Schedule (lives a Reduction of
About One Cent a Head Numer-
out Other; (tern; of Interest.
Washington, Qct 18. Follow
ing a statement made a year ago at
the meeting of the National Wool
Grqwers Association in Silt Lake.
Gilford, P.inchot, forester;, and A. If.
Potter, in charge of gracing in
national forests, have announced a
reduction of 10 to 15 per cent in
rates for sheep grazing on the na
tional forests, to take effect for the
coming season.
Changes in the market conditions
which have made the sheep busi
ness less profitable this past year,
especially the greatly reduced price;,
offered for wool, aud the deprecia
tion in the value of mutton, arc
partly responsible for this reduction.
In 1907, when promises for a re
duced schedule were made, It was
with the understanding between
stockmen and the forest service that
grazing rates would not be changed
for minor fluctuations in the mar
ket which would naturally occur
from year to year, but would ap
ply only in the case of radical or
unusual changes.
The new schedule does not affect
the cases where a minimum charge
of five cents n head has already
lcen allowed, or an especially low
rate has been fixed on account of
some local conditions. In mot
cases the revised fee will mean a
reduction of about one cent a bead.
Small Boy With Gun.
Arthur Houston, sou of Charles
Houston, while visiting recently at
the J. T. .loore rauch north of
Printville, took down a .3S caliber
revolver hanging fiom the wall in
n bolster nnd proceeded, boy-like.
to examine it. Several chambers
were loaded, but the boy evidently
did not know this. The Journal
says that members of the family
were in the next room, separated
from the boy with the revolver by
only two inches of rough pine
boarding.
Suddenly the gun went off, the
heavy bullet ploughing its way
through two walls, within a few
feet of where the other children
were standing, and burictl itself iu
the ceiling. The Houston boy
was too abashed to say anything,
aud so remained silent. Mrs.
Moore, who was in the next room,
not hearing him speak or move,
thought he had shot himself and
ran to his side, only to find Arthur
gazing abstractedly at the still
smoking revolver.
An Automobllc-tlorse Race.
Au auto-horse race was an amus
ing feature of Saturday ufteruoou's
fair. The raachiue is owned by J.
II. Beckley, who agreed to run five
miles against five horses in relays
of a quarter mile each. The
horses never were iu the race lor n
moment. They were auto broke
and ran their best, but the machine
gave them a start of one-eighth
each and then overtook each before
it had reached its quarter stake.
Much amusement was created by
the race, which was the first of its
kind ever held on the Prineville
track, if not on any track in the
world. Time, 7:20.- Review.
