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 wild plum crop at Summer
Lake is immense this year. 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.

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

Dairy Test, Oregon State Pair, Satcm.

State I'alr, Salem, September 13-18, will
have numerous entries, it U understood,
a several breeders of choice dairy cattle
believe It I one of the best meani of
giving them publicity regarding the
quality of the dock they have. There
were seven cowi in the test at the iodS
fair, a Holiteln from Spokane, Wash
ington, taking the firt premium, with a
Jersey from near Portland a very clove
second. These milch cow tests are very
beneficial to the dairy industry of the
state and the Pacific Northwest.
