Judgo Lovolt has said tho line is to be built and Chief Strad ley's visit here bears out the statement The following is taken from an interview pub lished in Sunday's Oregenian: After announcing the intention of the Harriman interests to build an east and west line across Cen tral Oregon, providing land own ers do not hold their property ut figures that will, prevent the state from securing desirable set tlers, Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the board of direc tors of all the Harriman roads, last rlight predicted tho dawn of a bright era of relationship be tween tho people and tho railroads.

"Wo (Mr. Strad- i liun, and e," said Central Oregon. That Is, whether they are willing to put their land on tho market at prices that will attract settlers or whether they will prepare to discount railroad facilities in advance and withhold their land from settlement, de manding prices that will prevent the' development necessary to justify a railroad. "I don't mean to say that we will proceed with construction at a rapid rate now, because many other conditions are to be. taken into consideration. "It must be remembered that wo have a great deal of work in progress which calls out n vast amount of money. Wo have got to cut our coat according to the cloth." The cross-stato lino will con nect with the Oregon Short Line at Vale on the cast, and will pass through Malheur Canyon, tho rights of way for which recently were secured by tne Harriman intetests by an agreement w.ith the Hill roads, who hud some claims in that section. Judge Lovett suid last night that whether this, road will connect with the O.-W.- R. & N. system at Bend, as has been reported, has not been determined. "Tho development of the rail roads and the development of the country by tho railroads," he continued, "rests with the people. "If the railroads are treated justly, fairly, they can develop. If they are treated unjustly and unfairly and are hounded by un fair laws and unequal advantages under the law, then they can't develop. "My own opinion is that the people are awakening to the fact that there is no quarrel between them and tho railroads and that they have moro interest in the railroad facilities and in good railroads than they have in nl- most any other property that they don't directly own, and cer tainly as much interest as tiiey have in good county roads and highways. "It is also becoming well known that you can't have railroads and good railroads in this section un less your pour money into them. Money for this purpose is not to be gotten unless it is properly protected. However, I am not losing sleep over this problem. I have unlimited faith in the common sense and Justice of the people. Sometimes they are a little slow in grasping these different prob lems, but they'll grasp them sooner or later." cent convention of Oregon wool nvTni wvwrrwr jriv vv a raTrw?

Mericle were in from Glenlock tho first of this week to assist their neigh bor, Chas. W. Schumann in mak ing proof on his homestead. Mr. Preston has n largo acreage seed ed and hud hoped to get moro in but met with misforture. He lost three heod of horses in a rather mysterious manner. To all appearances they were poison ed right in his own barn as one died after another being fed from tho same box. Mr. Preston did not discover this until too lato when u neighbor called his atten tion to small crysals in tho feed trough. Just how tho poison could have been placed in tho feed is a mystery, lie hud been poisoning rabbits but was careful where ho placed it and is suro it is not from that source If somo miscreant is doing such work ho will meet his just deserts sooner or later.

(Portland Correspondent) That the completion of the Panama Canal will mean millions of dollars annually to the fruit growers of the Pacific Northwest was the statement of J. N. Teal in an address to the State Horti cultural Society at its annual meeting. He believes the fruit grower will profit more by the opening of the canal than the New Course In Rural ll gicne.

St Paul. We have this additional inter esting information in a Chicago dispatch to Portland papers as to tho publicity we are receiving at the present time. The wonders of Oregon were related at length to an interested throng at the Lund Show toduy j by James J. builder and board of directors of the Great Northern Railway. Mr. Hill touched in on tho great possibilities offered by tho Central Oregon country to the homesecker. Ha told his audience that it was a section so largo and so undeveloped that the entiru state of Iowa could be dropped intuit and not be touched by u railroad. Among the distinguished visi tors ut tho show today, besides Mr. Hill, were Louis W. Hill, president of tho Great Northern; William Hunley. of Burns. Ore.. and ex-Governor Brady, of Idu- tunst uses. Markets for fruit will be widened greatly because of cheapening the transportation and Mr. Teal estimates a saving of approximately $20,000,000 in freight charges to growers of the Northwest each year, Oregon will have a creditable exhibit on board the Governor's special train that leaves St. Paul November 27 for a three weeks tour of the east Various com munities have contributed pro ducts and tho exhibit has been sent foreword.

D. Beckwith of the bacteiiology department of the Oregon Agri cultural College in speaking of the course of rural hygiene to be inaugurated this winter during the short course. The point that the health of the people may be reckoned in dollars and cents to the communi ty esoapes the average citizen in his mad scramble for more evident wealth," he continued. "For example, it is computed that the annual loss to the United States through human tuberculosis amounts to $600,000,000 which is approximately three-fourths the value of the entire wheat crop of the country. This immense an nual loss, about 75 per cent of which is preventable, is due sole to careless and ignorance of the most rudimental rules of life and health, of vastly greater impor tance thtJn the money loss is the pain and suffering most of which can be prevented by a little care and knowledge." The short course lectures, which will be illustrated with stereop- ticon views, will cover such sub-, jects as water supply (especially i from wells), their location and construction as to health; sani tary methods of sewerage dispos-' al, the use and abuse of septic tanks; transmission of disease, , such as tuberculosis; Hies and grem carrying; cause of colds and grippe and other epidemics.
