NOW COMPLETED Track Can Be Extended From Mile Post 20 To Harper Ranch And Will Go On To Tunnel Without Delay The roadbed of the Oregon Eastern thru the Malheur canyon is practically completed as far as Mile post 38, or rather up to the east portal of the 2500i-foot tun nel. This was the statement made a few days ano to an En terprise reporter by G. II. Chaf fin of the Wasatch construction company. Since the first of the year the Wasatch company has completed about five miles of roadbed rnd inp and next week will complete an enormous cutat the bejjiningof Mile post 38 on which a crew of men has been working since the operations were, started in the Malheur canyon shortly after the first of the year. The Wasatch people expect to have their contract completed in two weeks, when two b:R cuts containing 7000 yards of dirt and lose rock will have been finished. This done tracklaying can be rushed as far as the big tunnel. Mr. Chuflin reports that con crete piers are being put in for the two steel bridges which are to be built between Mile post 3G and 37.

This was the first authentic report over the wire Tucsdny night, outside of that nodefinate details arc obtainable for this issue concerning the general elec tion thruout the whole country. The only election news at the time this is written is somewhat meatfer and Konernl. ,a s U8U. ally the case more is known of the result of the National elec tion than of Harney County. People who 'phone in the results from vnrious precincts ive only partial" returns and in some in stances some half dozen candi dates or less. Nothing definite as to the vote on state and dis trict ollicers can he secured. The democrats have made a decide! and .sweeping victory thruout the United States. Wilson ami Mnrshnl! carrying almost everything with the exception of six states. There were a few states in doubt at the time this is written, hut enough is known to show that Wilson has won tho greatest victory of any candidate for president in many years. Taft is credited with but two states, both small. Congress i win do democratic iy a gooi ma jority, thus giving that party an excellent opportunity to carry out its policies without hindrance. In the stale election it is quite likely Dr. Lane has been selected as United States Senator, but aside from this office tho demo crats have not, elected another candidate. Brooko is elected dis trict attorney, Stewart has de feated Mahon -for state Senator and Homan has been elected re presentative. Returns show that tho court house question figured in tho vote of every candidate for county office benefiting some and iniuring others. The bad storm of election day also had its effecta upon some of tho candidates as in some pre cincts the vote was very light. According to a telegram re ceived here suffrage has likely been defeated and perhaps every road bill has been killed. There were entirely too many bills on tho ticket to receivo just consid eration from tho voters and there should bo some means of curbing Mr. U'Ron and his type imposing upon the privilege given for such bills to bo yoted upon. Peoplo generally know enough to vole such intelligently provided they haven't a whole newspaper to look over in tho voting booth and tho titles mado plain. Tliero were confusing titles on tho bal lot at this election and many hardly know whether they were voting for what they thought thoy were or not. It tho county election tho dem ocrats secured but ono man aside from Mr. Richardson who was running independent, Chas. Beery, for surveyor is tho only domocrat elected. 13. B. Waters is ro-elected clerk; J. J. Uonogan, assessor; L. M. Hamilton, school superintendent; R. A. Miller has defeated Simon Lewis for treas urer and Thos. Bain is elected commissioner. For n time it was very close be tween Doncgan and Callow for assessor and it was necessary to get the vote of tho south-end pre cincts to determine who had it, Mr. Catlow brought in tho re- (Continucd on Second Page) DISTRIBUTION OF SCHOOL MONEY Apportionment Of Slate and County Schcol Funds Otlobcr, 1912 Dist, 1. 2. if. r.

Thompson, who is farm-' ing on one of tho Stephens ranch es west of town and who ownes two O. V. L. tracks nd joining i thai properly on the south, wns in town Tuesday with a load of grain. Mr. Thompson stated that the jack-rabbits had caused him considerable trouble this season mid reports that the pests have become quite numerous in his section. He came here from Nevada and says the rabbit is not new to him. He states that a very eltectivc war is ueing waged against the varmints in that state by trapp'ng them in ,the wilder, and says that he will test it here. A number of move able pens about 20 by 40 feet are built and set about in the brush, with alfalfa hay or some other enticing feed placed in the pens. Entrance to the pens is so con structed tha't the rabbits can go in thru V. shaped wire fingers, the spring of which automatical ly closes them to prevent egress. Mr. Thompson says numerous rabbits will enter each of the pens during a night, and thus entrap themselves. Tho princi pal of his scheme seems entirely plausible and no doubt if il was practiced by several ranchers in tho rabbit sections it would af ford eirectivc means toward ex termination of tho pests.

IUcki'M) Oftentimes we hear a story of a country of , possibilities that sounds like a well-selected page from Aladdin and his wonderful lamp, and once in a while, a very great while; we find this wond erful story of promise based on statistics, the true character of its citizenship and actual crop production - such in short is the territory lying between Bend and Lakeview the country of things to be says the Journal. In the triangle with Bend to the north, Burns to the east, Klamath Kails on the west and Lakeview on the south, lies ap proximately 10,000.000 acres of virgin territory. About one tenth of this acreage will be sus ceptable to intensive cultivation when the various irrigation pro jects already planned have re claimed tho land. While thous ands of acres have been filed up on during the past two years, no great showing has been made by the homesteader because of lack of transportation facilities to carry the products of his ranch to a commercial market. Grain production with a three cent rate tacked on to the end of it may exist in theory but a prac tical demonstration of it on a large scale will soon lead to bank ruptcy. The homesteader is therefore required to confine his energies to products and quanti ties necessary for home consumption. The successful settlement of this vast acreage is greatly de pendent upon three things: trans portation, immigration and per spiration. In tho proportion of each to the other is tho fact that all working along a line of least) resistance, is necessary before any new country can be so far ' settled that it assumes a place in ' the commercial world. Singly a certain per cent of benefit may , accrue, but working tof,oihcr these three links will peoplo this vast acreage in addition to re claiming to Portland a territory that is rich in resources but short on .population. The reclamation of this central Oregon acieage, which may bo called Portland's back yard, will open up what is destined to bo ono of tho great est wheat producing belts in the entire Pacific northwest. First in order and importance comes transportation, important because the two remaining links are dependant upon this feature.
