The crew of Ilarritnati surveyors
under Iiucinccr Mills, which has
bet 11 camped at Redmond, has run
hcvcral lines north from Redmond
towards Crooked river, and it h
understood liey have located a
crossing one-fourth of a mile below
Trail Crossing bridge. It is said
that a bridge Soo feet long will be
necessary to crdss the river at that
point. This is several hundred feet
wider than the crossing found by
the Central Oregon road, which
crosses Crooked river about a mile
nud a quarter licloiv Trail Crossing
Urldgc. The wider cronsiuc Is said
to have been selected by the Ilarri
man engineers because of what they
considered the more desirable ap
proaches to the bridge. The Cen
tral Oregon survey provides for n
bridge 350 feet long and over soo
feet high.
Mr. Mills party made a locution
from Madras south by wrty of La-
nionta and O'Neil to Rtdmoud, and
the surveyors under Engineer Rob
erts have located a line south Irom
Madras via Opal l'ruine tci Trail
Crossing. This gives the Harti

Madras to Redmond. Assistant
Chief Ktigluccr Cha.se has been at

Natron extension an Assured Fact.
It looks more than ever as if con
struction 011 the Natron extension
would begin In the enrly spring, if
not before, In fact, the work of
clearing the right of way has ah
ready commenced.
Alt Walker, who is taking Major
HOward's place on the right of way,
came up yesterday from the Middle
Fork, niul says there nre seven or
eight crews of men nt work grub
bing out tlie orcuarus ami clearing
the rirfht bf way which the com
pany has already secured by actual
purchase between Natron and Haz
eltlell. These men will be kept
busy at work until it is all cleared
up. If this does ho meatj that ac-
trial construction on llic road bed
will commence at once, wc do not
know what It- means. The new
route over the Cascades via the
Middle Fork and Salt Creek is 110
longer a contingency, but Is ati as
sured fact. Kugcnc Register.
The Natron extension is the line
whose survey crosses the Cascades
in the vicinity of Diamond Teak
and runs south on the cast side of
the Cascades to Klamath Falls.

VALUATION IS NOW $7,070,25
Hve Years Ago the Total Valuation of
Taxable Property In the County
Was Only $2,300,000 Other
Items of Interest. ' '
F.iye years ago the total valuation
of property in Crook county
amounted to a scant 2.300,000;
today it, stands at $7,070.25. That
tells, btlvr tba,u anytDing else the
growth Crook county is making,
and the settlement and development
that is taking place an incicasc of
nearly 1,000,000 a year for the
last five years.
The total valuation of taxable
property in the county now is
shown to bo, $7,070,254, as com
pared with $6,226,000 last year
riic Princvillc Journal says this
large increase in this respect is due
principally to new lands entered
under the timber and stone act,
homestead and desert claims, some
state lands and segregated lands
filed on under the Carey Act. The
assessor received 3S closely type
writtcu pages from The Dalles land
office last January showing the
names and location of claimants
who had proved up on government
lands.
The number of acres under culti
vation is 59,135, valued at $367.
559, and the number of acres of un
cultivated land is 1,203,665, mostly
timber or homestead lands unen
tered, valued at $4,467,185 The
value of improvements on deeded
or patented land is $178,724, of all
city or town lots $118,725, of im
provements ou town or city lots
$188,730, and of improvements on
lands not dccd:d or patented
$65,919.
A valuation of $369,000 is placed
by the assessor upon the canals and
ditches of reclamation companies
lu the county, though under the
recent supreme court decision hold
ing these improvements unassess
able as held by the companies it is
unlikely the county will benefit
thereby.
There arc 54 miles of telephone
lines, with more building, and the
value of the completed lines is
placed at $3,045. Sawmills and
farm engines total $38,160. mer
chandise and stocks in trade $130,
190, farm machinery, implements
and wagons $63,173, money, uoles
and accounts $245,023, 750 shares

Davenport's Harney County Ranch.
It is possible that Homer Daveu
port, the great caricaturist and now
a world-renowned breeder of Ara
bian horses at Morris Plains, N. J.
and Hingman, Mass., may lu the
near future become interested in
Harney comity to the extent of
bringing some of his Arabian horsis
here and startiug a cavalry horse
brcediug plant.
Mr. Davenport has the correct
Idea that this would be a peculiarly
favorable place for such a plant.
By selecting the best mares of the
range stock here and crossing them
with the pure Arabian, the product
ought to be a horse of the greatest
cudurancc and speed, hardy, healthy
ami reliable iu every way. Bums
