WILL REMODEL DANK.
The directors of tho First Na
tional Bank held a quarterly
meeting on last Monday. The
entiro board was present and iho
affairs of the institution were
gone over thoroughly. The busi
ness of the bank is in a most
prosperous and satisfactory con
dition and the board decided to
mako some extensive improve
ments next season. The entire
front of tho building will bo torn
out and rebuilt with stone, tho
north side also being remodeled
and fitted up with large plate
glass windows and the building
will be extended back possibly
tho entire lot.
Iho interior will be htteu up
complete with new fixtures and
decorations, the wood floor torn
out and tiling take its place.
This will make tho building
modern in every respect, besides
giving more room, which is
necessitated on account of the
growing business.
In all likelihood the local Ma-
account 'sonic lodge will erect a fine two-

John F. Stevens, president of
tho Oregon Trunk, roturncd
yesterday from a thrco wcokB'
visit to Chicago and Now York
with tho rcnowed ossuranco that
his company will immediately
complete tho construction of its
road into Central Oregon, says
tho Orcgonian. Other than to
mako this announcement, Mr.
Stevens would not divulge the
plans of tho Oregon Trunk as to
tho likely extension of its lino in
to California, with San Francisco
as the ultimate terminus, or tho
building of lateral lines across
tho state, particularly a branch
which would reach and servo
long-neglected Coos Bay and
surrounding territory.
"I have only to say," said Mr.
Stevens yesterday, "that tho
Oregon Trunk will proceed with
tho completion of its projected
road into Central Oregon just as
rapidly as tho employment of
laborers and the expenditure of
money will make possible. As
to tho final destination of our
road, I havo nothing to say. We
havo started out to buna a rail
road into Central Oregon and
that is what we propose to do.
"Wo have awarded contracts
for tho construction work as
far south as Madras, and
camps have been organized for
tho employment of 4000 laborers,
who will be put io work just as
rapidly as they can bo found. It
is true that wo havo u number of
Burveying crews in the field south
of Madras. It is our purpose to
build our railroad to a point in
interior Oregon at least 50 miles
south of Madras. It has not
been decided that Bend will bo
that objective point, although
ono of the surveys extends to
that town. Tho various surveys
which havo been mado will be
considered thoroughly ns to the
practicability of tho routes pro
posed and their feasibility with
rofcrenco to possible extensions
in tho future. Wo mean busi
ness and the work contemplated
will be pushed to an early com
pletion." Saying this, Mr. Stevens
switched tho conversation to n
discussion of tho scries of cham
pionship baseball games botween
the Pittsburg and Detroit teams.
It is characteristic of Mr. Stevens,
who is Hill, s personal represen
tative, that loquacity is not ono
of his traits. Further question
ing ns to the plans of tho rail
road of which ho is thocxecutivo
head was just as productivo of
results as could bo expected from
an equally persistent interroga
tion of a sphynx. Any time Mr.
Stevens says "I havo nothing
more to Bay," ho means exactly
what he says, and that is all
thero is to it

instead of $500 and costs.
Gilcrcst is tho manager of tho
Pacific Livestock company which
has largo holdings in Central
Oregon, with head quarters at
Burns. Recently ho was indict
ed for having maintained fences
on government land which shut
up some 18,000 acres of public
land from the use of the people.
When the indictments wcro re
turned Gilcrcst pleaded guilty to
ono of them, contending that on
tho others he had removed the
fences except such ns he was en
titled to keep up. His c.i30 came
up for sentence this morning.
In presenting tho ease of tho
government, District Attorney
McCourt said that at tho time of
entering tho plea it had been de
cided between the plaintiff and
defendant that, owing to the cir
cumstances of the case, a fine
without imprisonment would bo
sufficient punishment Mr. Mc
Court said that the fences had
been taken down. Tho object of
tho government was to get tho
fences down. This had been
dono except in a case where it
was a question of civil and not
of criminal remedy. He suggest
ed a fine of $500 and costs, and
no imprisonment.
Mr. Gilcrcst, answering the
question of Judge Wolverton,
mado a statement of his case.
He said that when the govern
ment first gave notice in 1907 for
the fences to be removed that ho
was notified by the officials of
his company to take all fences
down. Ho had tried to do this,
and had, with the exception of
tho ono fence around what was
known as Tioga meadows.
mis section ot land was a
desert and had not been used for
the past six years, Mr. Gilcrcst
Baid, while tho fence hnd been
put there some 14 years ago.
After the other fences had been
removed tho bookkeeper at Burns
had called attention to the Tiogn
meadows tract and Gilcrcst had
given orders to have the fence,
which ho had forgotten removed
at once. In the meantime, how
ever, the indictment had been re
turned through a report made by
Special Agent Stoner.
Mr. Gilcrcst contended that at
no time had he any criminal in
tent, but on tho other hand was
trying his best to observe the
law when it had been invoked
against the old time custom of
tho country.
In passing sentence the court
took tho ground that the ends of
justice would bo served with a
Blight punishment and the pay
ment of the cost of the court pro
ceedings. He therefore fixed
tho fine at $400. Portland Journal.
