As a matter of fact, the man had acquired govern ment title to most of his land. In fear, this citizen has been keeping his mouth loosed. This i« only one of many cases. “One of the best things the state could do, according to my way of thinking, would be to make laws prohibiting large bands of sheep from making the overland foraging trip to California. With this prac tice stopped, I belieye the local peo ple would be able to take care of the undesirable citizens who are in their midst. The people of Crook and Lake counties are hoping for peace as much as it is desired by law-abiding citizens.” Mr. Fogle is in neither the sheep nor cattle business, although he has relatives who are sheepmen and relatives who. are cattlemen in Crook county, and is in a position to give an unbiased view of the ex isting conditions.

If the Corvallis Ar East ern has surveyors at work on the proposed line through Eastern Ore gon, Mr stone is ignorant of the fact. The advantage that would accrue from an extension of the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad to Eastern Ore gon is much greater today than cruld have been the case 30 years ago, when the project was first ta ken up. What was then a barren desert is rapidly changing into cul tivated homes. Over 27,000 acres of farm land is under irrigation in the valley of the Deschutes, and tbe work of reclaiming the arid but rich land is only begun. Millions of feet of marketable timber mark the route of the proposed road. JOHN D DAI.Y, Pnna FRANK R. COFFIN, Vics Pass ARTICLES HLED FOR THE OREGON & IDAHO SHORT LINE.
