Store at First and Morrison street and

Hawei baa many friends who will be
glad to know that the la getting along
to well.
A, S. Ilolleif lufnnna tbo (Il'Hir that
he expects to commence work on a well
to furnish water (or the boiler of the
new flouring mill at once. If the weath
er continues favorable be will also com
mence work on the excavation for tbe'
foundation, lie expects his partner Mr.
Marquardsen, to arrive from the East In
about three weeks and as soon as lumber
ran be secured work will liegin on the
building. It la the intention to have
the mill ready for operation by July 1st.
II. tt. nuffham, who recently settled
In Ferry Canyon, was it pleasant caller
at this ollieo Friday. Mr. lUifTlmm who
was until 4 years ago a resident of North
Idaho, lias traveled extensively through
the Southwest, California and Western
Oregon looking for a location and has
finally settled in the best county on
earth. lie eavs a petition Is being cir
culated and unanimously signed In bis
neighborhood aking the county court to
open ft road to the mouth of Thirty-mile
to connect with a simitar road from the
John Day to Kent, on the C.8. Railway.
This road he says will place his neigh
borhood within between 20 and 25 miles
of the railroad and will be it great con
venience to them in marketing their
grain. The Gloiib will go to him in the
future.
P. II. Stephenson and Herbert Halstead
went to lleppner last week to Juin the
lodge of Elks in that city. They screw
ed op their conrngn to such a pitch as not
to fear the stuffed club which is credited
with It prominent pitrt in the initiatory
work in that order, only to find that the
lleppner club is not stuffed at all. It is
the real tiling. The gentlemen report
having had a grand time and think the
lienevolent I'rotectivo Order of Elks
comprise the Best People on Earth.
While on their way home Saturday they
bad a somewhat thrilling and chilling
experience. When they reached Itock
creek the stream was on a rampiige, bnt
not thinking the water was so deep as it
proved to be they drove in. and quicker
than they could say scat or rise to their
feet the buggy dropped into a deep place
- and the water ran about two Inches deep
on the seat. They got out all right bnt
are not bunting for any creeks to ford
during a freshet.
George ami Will Hardie are wintering
three bands of Bheep on the John Day
breaks this winter, one band containing
over 1600 head, another almost 2000 and
la small band of about S00 buck lambs of
their own raising. George, who came in
(Saturday, states that these Bheep are be
lug wintered without feed other than
what they rustle for on the range and
that they are in good condition. His
loss this winter has been nothing. Mr.
Hardie has been experimenting for 0
years on the problem of breeding a tiardy
class of sheep that have snllkien t ruHtling
propensities to get through an Eastern
Oregon winter without hay and the fact
that his sheep have been wintered for
the last tli roe winters without
hay shows how well be has succeeded.
This result has been accomplished
' without In the least injuring the quality
or weight of the fleece, the averago clip
of his flock being about 11 pounds and
V be expects them to shear fully that
V amount this season.
An Electrlo Road for Gilliam
County.
(CommanlriiM.)
That an etc trio railway in Gilliam
county is miiong the possibilities and
probabilities of the not distant future
I am firmly convinced. Hn :l a road is
the lt for the county, the cheapest, by
far, to construct and would pity a greater
dividend on the investment than any
other like enterprise In Eastern Oregon.
There are parties at the present time
nmkinf thorough Investigation of thm
proposition, Which is to build an electric
railroad from Arlington to Condon. The
plan i about a follows: A first-class
ituam power plant will he put in at Olex
confining of the liiieit Improved com
pound Crlls a engine and the hi bid t im
proved high pressure water tolie toiler
which would furnish more than double
the power with the samu amount of fuel
that a locomotive would fornlh. Ilock
creek would furnish plenty of water for
such plant and tbe cost of constructing
such a line would nut be greater than
lliecot of building ft bridge across Rock
creek for a steam road.
As a matter of of convenience to the
people living along the line an electric
iiue Is far superior to a steam road be
r ne man could hail a motor at any
point on the line and get aboard without
taking the trouble to go ft mile or so
to station.
Condon la something like 2,000 feet
higher than Arlington and the heavy
freight business of this line would be
practically all down hill. What is bet
ter than "a down bill pull?" Buch a
line could be easily and cheaply construct
ed alt along the route. A good motor car
would poll 15 tons of freight npany graoe
on the line. A 500 horse power plant
would be sufficient to handle all the bus
iness of the line and In addition would
supply lights where wanted along the
line.
I have secured prices on a complete
plant of this kind from George Martin &
Co of Seattle, aud have given the infor
mation to parties who are now figuring
on building the road, but If these parties
do not ahead soon, I am ready to
affirm that the people of Gilliam county
can build this road theinelvea and I ie
lieve they will do so in the near future if
outside capital does not take hold of it.
There are 330,000 acres of tillable land
that would be tributary to this road,
less than One third of which Is under
cultivation, not because the land is not
good but it U too far from market to
ha possible to get the wheat out but w ith
a road of this kind to connect ns with
the Columbia river, which must be
opened to navigation in the ntar future
every foot of this land would aoon le
farmed. The electric line is the coming
railroad for the Pacific No rthwest. Puch
lines are are now in successful operation
In the East where there is all kinds of
competition' and we don't want to lag b
hind the East. There is now a consolida
tion of electric lines In the East 1333
miles long operated by a single syndicate
with headquarters at Cleavelaml, Ohio,
and it will soon lie possible to travel by
an electric road, dining and
sleeping cars, from New York to St.
Louis and Chicago. Cars of that line
will make 4.1 miles an hour outside of
the cities the entire distance and at this
time 00 miles an hour is bting made dal
ly over short distances. That should be
swift enough for Eastern Oregon.
With a road of this kindGllliamconn-
ty would In less than one year more than
double in population and taxable prop
erty. We would have more and better
schools more happy prosperous homes
and a more pleasant country to live in in
many ways.
If such roads pay In the East where
there is competition on every hand one
would certainly pay here where it would
handle alt the freight and passenger
traffic and all the mail and express bus
iness and if one man can manage 1333
miles in the East 3 or 6 men should cer
tainly manage a 40 mile line herein Gil
liam county, This proposed road would
pay all the cost of building in addition
to the operating expenses in less than
one year. I have had years of experience
in handling electric machinery and heavy
power plants. Have had 10 years expe
rience as manager of a large electric
railway jiower system and I know that
this is the railway for this country. I
desire to state that Taut a resident of
Gilliam County and consequently am in
terested in the development of the coun
ty and in the welfare of every law abid
ing citizen In the county, and will ever

which promises to he a benefit to the
county and its people. I write this let
ter to bring this matter before the peo
ple of this county and I believe that once
the people understand this matter and
see the advantage oiit, an electric line
will be assured and completed in less
than one year. Talk this matter over
neighbors; investigate it; write to any
of the electric supply companies or to
the correspondence schools which teach
electric and steam engineering and you
will find that I am not mistaken. I
have cast my lot among you and am here
to stay, and my desire is to help my
