II 1 THE BEND BULLETIN CHAKDiS D. ROWK UMTOft SUBSCRIPTION RATUS: Oat ycT r ..- Btx tnottth ! NtllHtWItHiHtH . .to 5 (InrmrUblT In drnce.) WKDNKSDAY, SliPT. i, 1909. Soeer lhn Expected. The railroad is reaching the Bend country sooner than the most nan gulne had expected. With a Hill construction crew of 180 or mote men making the dirt fly in the vi cinitv of Trnil CrdnsinK, a8 miles north of fiend; with a Hill engi neering crew camped in Bend and running a line through town; with another Hill crew surveying from Odell southward; and with Harri man's laborers building railroad grade at a rapid rate several miles this side of Madras, it certainly isl bringing operations pretty clos Iioejc. When construction vn started on the lower Deschutes, it was the general opinion in this sec tion that the work would be con fined to the canyon and to the first 100 miles of the survey for several months. It was not generally be lieved that construction ciews would be thrown so far into the interior tor some time to cotne. But tbey are now being e s tablished at various interior points, and it would surprise no one if a construction gang would establish camp at Bend within a very short time. As each week's developments in the railroad game become known, the greater becomes the evidence that Hill intends to build direcllj through the state north and south. The arrival of Engineers Wakefield and Milliken and the stationing of their crews at Bend and south of Odell is a pretty conclusive indica tion of the route the Hill line will follow. If this survey is run through to Klamath Falls as is now believed will be done it will confirm to a certainty the reports to the effect that Hill is heading for San Francisco. In the meantime. Harriman's forces are not idle by any means. Their construction crews are bard at work throwing up a roadbed this side of Madras, and everything would indicate that Harriman also thoroughly intends to put his line through the state on a north and south survey. With his crews working at both ends of the line from the Columbia south and from Klamath Falls north it should not take Harriman long to build these lines to a connection and thus have his road completed. This railroad activity is the best news Central Oregon has heard for a long, long time. That in which the people of interior Oregon are mostly interested is the develop ment that will follow the building of a railroad. A railroad is wanted only as a means to an end. Its coming is watched with great inter est, but only as a harbinger of the increased activity in business lines that wilt take place when transpor tation is provided. We view with much interest the fight that is be ing waged between the Harriuun and Hill forces, and while it is. plainly evident that the sympathy of this entire section is with Hill, yet the thing desired is a railroad aud the people will receive with opeu arms and glad acclaim the man who builds the road to us first. Thus it is that the appear ance of construction and surveying crews in this immediate vicinity lias aroused people to an increased expectancy of a rapid completion of the two roads now contending for this territory. Beud and the Bend country is or the threshold of a de velopMCHt such M the West has seldom seen, and it is as certain to come as that the sun rises and sets. The Bulktia leads.

Louis Miller, who lives on the Lafollctte place up the Ochoco, came near losing his 4yenr-old child Monday. He set out strych nine to kill coyotes but his dog gat some of it and white frothing at the mouth slobbered on a cookey that the child was eating. The youngster got enough poison to make it deathly sick. The timely urrival of Dr. Rosenberg saved the child's life. Journal. Twohv & Dwyer, who have n contract for building the grade from Porter Spring canyon south to Wit tow creek, on the Harriman line, are assembling a big construction force on that portion of the work. Monday morning 15 four-horse teams arrived there, bringing in equipment and it is reported that others are coming in dally.

While the fruit is not ct ripe enough to cat from the bushes, yet it is ripe enough for picking where it is to he hauled any distance. White passing through Slimmer Lake last week we saw several parties pick ing plums and it took but a little time to fill a bucket. This is a de licious fruit and all who can should avail themselves of the opportunity of securing some for winter use. Silver Lake Leader. Crook County stands at the head of the list as a producer of fine cat tle. J. II. Gray of the Hon ny view Farm returned Friday from his trip to the Portland market where he received the highest price ever paid at this time of the year for beef cattle. He received 4.25 n hun dred for cows, which was 65c a hundred above the top-notch price paid to other growers in the Port land market. What more do grow ers need to convince them that it pays to keep only the best on the range, and when ready for the market, see that the beef is in prime condition? Journal. I W. P. Vandcvert, of Bend, spent PURSES UP FOR BEACH FROM SHANIKO a day or two in Silver Luke the fore part of the week, and his theme of conversation this time was not bear stories as heretofore, but railroad I railroad!! railroad III In Irict, it person after listening to him, could imagine he cfjtild smell the loco motive smoke and feet the whlzring air of the passing train as it goes by, as well as the 1li7.ziuc.ss so pe culiar thereto. But then, Vaiide vert is nil right mid when he says a railroad is coming, hc says nothing but what is true; but he gets so en thusiastic over it. Where Vntulc vert made his mistake is, that he should have eottcn hold of Harri man several years nno nud inserted his hot enthusiasm pipe in that in dividual in n tender place and got him warm in the collar then, In stead of now, wheu Hill is prod ding him so hard. Silver Lake Leader. Loss Prom I'orest Fires. Since June, it is estimated that fire has destroyed timber to the amount of 5,000,000 in Washing ton. Other parts of the Northwest have suffered in equal degree and the Forest Fire Association is milk ing another appeal for great cau tion in the wooded districts. Every thousand feet of timber bururd means a loss of S in wages to the community. Timber means pay checks, to support nil other Indus tries. During the dry season, no fires should be started in wooded districts, unless they are carefully watched. Where fires arc found, they should be put out at once Call on the fire warden fur assist- ancetifyou need it. In the last ten years, four billion feet of tim- her has been destroyed by fire. This is a lamentable waste of one of our greatest uatural resources. The timber around Bend has been very free from fire this year, and no bad fires have been reported. Quite a Jac of May. Haying on the lands now con trolled by J. O. Powell just above town has become somewhat of an undertaking in itself, and the har vesting of the first crop off of about 900 acres has just been completed. This work has been in progress ever since the day after the Fourth of July celcbiation, a crew of 14 men having been employed during most of the time. In about 10 days the work of getting the sec ond crop will commence. Mr. Powell will have quite a little jag of bay this year, anywhere between j. 500 and 4,000 tons. Prinevillc Journal.
