Helow In the text of n iiipjwiku JumI received from J. M. Ijtwronce:
Agreement forthe.snleoi'nll tlie interests at Hcnd of
A. M. Drnke and Frank Robertson lias been signed, and
partial payment has been mnde. It was found to be
impracticable to handle these interests separately, so
Robertson's contingent fifth interest of the Hcnd Town
site Company and half interest of the Water Company
arc taken and will be consolidated with the Drake
holdings iti a new consolidation to be known as the
Hcnd Company.
Neither Drake or Robertson will have any share in
the new company. The purchase of the entire holdings
required material modifications of the plan contem
plated when negotiations were entered upon two
months ago, but speedy completion of the detail is now
largely a matter of routine.
A. O. Hunter and Clyde McKay have gone cast to
close matters there, and I will push the work here at
this end. (Signed) J.M. LAWRENCE.

COME TO BEND
Today the freight rates on the
Oregon Trunk Railway, between
Portland and Mctollus go into effect.
A complete synopsis of Uie new rate,
and a comparison of Uie old Shaniko
rates, is given below.
In addition to Uie froight tariffs,
General Freight & I'juwengor Agent
Ooman made announcement of Uie
passenger service.
The passenger service will consist
jf two trains daily, passengers leav
ing Madras at 7:45 in Uie morning
and arriving in PorUand at 8:15 in
tho evening, and PorUand at 9
o'clock in Uie morning, arriving at
Madras at 8.'30 in tho evening. Be
tween PorUand and Fallbridge, on
the Columbia, passengers will travel
on Uie Inland Empire Express of Uie
North Bank. The river will be
crossed on the Rteamcr Norma and
at Moody on the Oregon shore pass
engers will step into Uie coaches of
tho Oregon Trunk. This transfer
will be eliminated wiUi the comple
tion of Uie steel bridge across the
Columbia this summer.
The equipment of the Oregon
Trunk trains will consist of a com
bination car, day coaches and a
smoker unUl completion of Uie
bridge across Uie Columbia, when
more equipment will be added. For
the first Umc upon any new branch
road in the West a parlor car will
be included in the initial equipment
of Uie Oregon Trunk Railway.
It is believed that die run between
Portland and Madras will be made
in eight hours as soon as the road
bed is properly ballasted.
Since February 22nd there has
been passenger accomodation on the
O. T. Ry., leaving Fallbridge at 5
a. m one coach being hitched on to
a construcUon or "swing" train.
Tlio trip to Madras on several oc
casions has consumed 18 hours.
Already Bend and aUier interior
points arc feeling Uie increase of
travel due to the opening of railroad
transportation. It is expected thr.t
March will establish a record Cer
tral Oregon immigraUon. On
March 10th 200 settlers leave Chi
cago direct for Uie Deschutes
Valley.
All colonist rates from Uie East
will apply to Central Oregon points,
by special ruling of Uie Interstate
Commerce Commission. This means
Uie fare from St. Paul to Metoliun
will be $25, and from Chicago $33.
Passengers will be routed direct.
General Passenger Agent Coman
states that eventually a 12-hour
service will be operated between
PorUand and Burns.
The class rates between PorUand and Madras or Mctolius are as fol
lows, in cents per 100 lbs, also between PorUand and Shaniko.
