TION TO WASHINGTON.
Alllllcnn l Name Proposed, and Large
Number cl New Settlor Would
lie Served, Store to lie
Run In Connection.
With the name of twenty-nine
patrons who would he served at
Inched, a petition has just been for
warded from Jlcnd to the l'ostullkc
I)e.artiiiei)t nt Washington asking
for the cNtuhllshmcut of u witoflicc
twenty-six utiles soulheust ol Uciid
The tinme proposed Is Mllllcuu, and
for appointment as postmaster Mrs
Mabel C, Tozlcr Is suggested, In
addition to the signature of persons
who will get their uittll at the pro
poicd oflicc, the ptcr carries the
names of a large niimbci of the
leading business and professional
men of Betid, who endorse the
movement for the new po-itollicc.
If the petition Is grunted, it is
planned to have a store In connec
tion with the office for the conven
ience of homesteaders in that vicin
ity. Groceries and staples would
be carried.
While the petition bears the
names of outy tweaty-uine crsons
who would become patrons of the
proposed office, it would serve
many more. Jus't now there arc
many homesteaders who have filed
on claims In Mllllcau Valley nnd
that vicinity who have not estab
lished residence there but will do
ko within the course of a few weeks
or months. Newcomers arc also
coming in rapidly and taking tip
Laid within a radius of eight or ten
miles of the projKiscd office.
' The location of the office, If se
cured, will be on the road to the
ranch of George Mllllcau and about
two miles west of his home. The
official suggested in the ctition for
the new office is the wife of Lester
M. Tozlcr, who has a 3io-acre
claim. Mr. Toiler already has a
house built some distance from the
road, but if the postofficc authorities
allow the office he will move his
house or build another so as to have
the office right on the road.
It is proposed to call the office
Mllllcau in honor of George Milll
can, who for something like twenty
five years has tttude his home in the
valley, being engaged in horse and
cattle raising.
Mllllcau Valley Is the nearest,
extensive tract of government land
to llcml which In open for entry
under the homcHtciid laws. It is
covered with n heavy growth of
sagebrush nnd bunch grass, and
water him been found by till who
have dug ut moderate depths
There are already four wclln In the
valley, the deepest of which Is
nineteen feet. The vnllcy Is being
rapidly taken up, though as yet ull
the good land is not filed oil,
Those who are already on the
laud arc beginning preparations for
putting in spring crops. Consider
able grain will be sown nnd xta-
toes and other vegetables planted.
Lust year one settler ruisul n good
crop of rye, though he did not sow
it till in June and not a drop of
ruin fell between seedtime and har
vest. Scveiul acres of winter grain
have been put in by uuother home
steader, The volcanic ash soil has
been pronounced by experts to tx
rich and deep, and admirubly suited
to the growing of wheat and other
grains by dry-funning methods.
Posts for fencing and timber for
other purposes, us well as wood for
fuel', is obtainable from Pine Moun
tain, which stretches ulotig the
south of the valley, and from the
low junlpcr-covcicd butte 011 the
north. The right-of-way of the
proposed cast-aud-west line of the
Oregon Trunk Ry. runs through
the valley not far from the location
of the proposed Millican postofficc.

now on its way to the National cap-itol:

YOUNO HOME BURNED.
Planus Destroy Lytle Realdence of
Rend People
The home of J. V. Young in Ly
tic was totally destroyed by fire on
Saturday afternoon at a little after
four.
The fire was first seen by Mrs.
A. R. Strong. She called John
Stcidl, who was working about hh
house cloc by. When Mr. Stcidl
reached the house it was a furnace
of flame, and only with much dif
ficulty was he and those who quick
ly came to his aid able to rescue
two trunks nnd a sewing machine,
which alone of everything iu the
house, were, saved.
When the fire was discovered no
one was at home. It is supposed
that the fire originated from a
spark thrown out from the open
fire place in the living room. Cer
tainly this, the cast end of the build
ing, was the first in flames.
The building, a two story frame
dwelling, is the property of A. R
Dailies, formerly a resident of
Rend. There was no insurance on
4 or the belongings of the Youngs'.
J !:. Mills and E II Edgington
of Tumalo were in Reud today.

Louis Mill Talks of Possible Building

President Stevens of the Oregon
Trunk has het February 10th ns
the date of the Hill road's comple
tion to Mudras. Speaking of the
great activity in completing the line
to Mudrus, the Oregouiau'says:
"While till activity ia In the nir north
ol Msilraa, another cor pa o( men It at
work aoutli of tlmt point with the end
in view ol mailing the line to llend, the
ultimate ilettluation of the road."
June tst is the date for comple
tion of the road to Rend, according
to Portland dispatches.
Pending the completion of the line to
Kedmoml no train will he operated
aoullinf Metuliua. which will alto terve I
1 adiviiion point.
Saturday night in Portland,
President Louis Hill of the Great
Northern spoke of the possibility
of continuing the Oregon Trunk
south of Rend. He added, how
ever,
"Mr. Stevens has charge of this
work and I don't know what his
plans arc. A number of routes
have been surveyed south of Rend
however. Ouc of these provides
for a terminus at Medford. That
line will have to be built. Another
leads to Klamath Falls. It is prob
able that an extension will reach
that place too.in a short time.
"Rut when it comes to entering
California I believe that our system
will draw the line. We expect to
develop Oregon, but don't see any
reason why we should go to Cali
fornia," udded Mr. Hill, as usual
making special effort to discredit
any possible Hill interest Calif
ornia-ward.
"The completion of the Oregon
Trunk road to Madras should be
made a public event," declared Mr.
Hill. The fuct thut this is about
the only big piece of railroad work
at present under construction in
the United States gives it almost
National significance.
Despite his hint of a possible re
newal of construction southward in
Central Oregon Mr, Hill later made
the significant statement that the
G. N. was not contemplating any
new construction at the present
time, iu connection with his views
regarding the "hostile legislation"
respecting railroads, nnd its result
ing suppression of their expansion.
"From the inquiries we arc re
ceiving lit out eastern offices right
now," said Mr. Hill, "I know
positively that thousands of fami
lies will flock into Central Oregon
as soon as the Deschutes Valley
line is completed" Already sev
rral carloads of settlers supplies are
on their way across the continent,
to be brought toward Rend as soon
us the rails arc down.
At a stockholders meeting of the
North Rank road Saturday the or
ganizations capital stock was in
creased to $Gz. 500,000 This is
to provide for the taking over under
one head of all the Oregon railroads
jointly owned by the G. N. and N.
P. companies.
