Large Depot at Austin.
Sura pter The Sumptcr Valley Rail
road company has just finished an 80
foot depot at the terminus of the road
now known as Austin station. Much
freight is received st that poiut, neces
silaiini a larger depot than Is generally
fonnd at other stations on the line of
the road. A few other buildings have
been erected at Austin and the place is
beginning to assume the proportions of
a village. There is no authenticated
repot current as to whether the Sump
ter Valley intends to extend its line be
yond that point during the coming sea
son or not.
Klamath Horaes Sell High.
Merrill J. Frank Ailams has just
sold 100 head of horses to Charles
Stewart, of San Francisco, for prices
ranging from (100 to $160 each. Mr.
Stewart purchased the horses to take
to San Francisco and perhaps a large
portion of them will go to Honolulu or
be transorted for Bervice in the United
States army. Sixty bead of the ani
mals brought $100 each and 40 head
were sold at $150 each. They averaged
from 1,250 to 1,500 pounds each, and
some of them were only halter broken.
This la considered a good price.
Range Horses Die by Score.
Baker City It is reported here from
the ranges of Baker county that scores
of horses, tnrned out by their owners,
to feed themselves during the winter
months, have starved to death, while
many others are in a most pitiable con
dition. This is caueed by the unusual
ly deep snows, which prevent the ani
mals from reaching the dried grasses of
the ranges, on which they usually de
pend for their winter subetenance.
Buying Heavy Draft Horses.
John Day J. D. Combs, a local
buyer, has been picking up a ood
many horees durinir the past week for
the Willamette valley trade. He pur
chased, among other heavy draft
horses, the fine team owned by Senator
Lavcock, paying therefor the sum of
$350. This team is generally thought
to be the best In Grant county, and
will probably be sold In Portland.
Prices generally are good.
Money from State Land.
Salem Tbe State Land board has re-
ceived from the sale of public 'ands and
interest, on behalf of the public school,
the Agricultural college and the uni
versity, funds during January $74,
138.76. The money has all been turn
ed Into the state treasury.
ROAD TO BE REBUILT.
Government Work and Immigration
Stimulates Klamath Line.
Klamath Falls Inf irmation received
at Klaxath Falls indicates that the
Klamath Lake railroad, connecting
with the Southern Pacific at Thrall and
extending to Pokegama, recently ac
quired by the Weyerhaeuser Lumber
company, will be practically recon
structed during tbe present year, track
laid better to encble the lino to com
mad traffic of the Klamath Falls region
for some time, while also. better serving
the purposes of its new owners In tbe
development of lumber industries.
Four new locomotives have been order
ed, a new passenger coach and a num
ber of cars are to be purchased, which
is understood to be indicative of the in
tentions witn reference to the railroad.
No official information is bad as to
the intentions in the way of adding
mileage, but it is known that investiga
tions made before the acquisition of the
Property were with a view to determin
ng the traffic assured by reason of the
government work in constructing the
csnal for which Mason, Davis & Co., of
Portland, now have the first contract.
With absolute knowledge of tbi ton
nage of traffic that was bandied dur'ng
1905, and its great increase over the
preceding year, and an additional ton
nage for tbe next year that will surely
double the commodity traffic of 1905,
to say nothing of the immigration that
will mean a gnat deal of business, tbe
railroad officials feel more tbn justi
fied in large expenditures and will com
plete their projected work at the ear
liest possible date.
Operate Eugene Mill.
Eugene Final papers have been
made out in Salem for the sale of tbe
Eugene Woolen mill to a Salem organ
isation, to be known as the Eugene
Woolen Mill company. The Thomas
Kay Woolen Mill company of Salem Is
the principal stockholder. John P.
Wilbur and Will Wright, of Union,
Or., more than a year ago purchased
the plant at a receiver's sale. The
company which has just bought it an
nounces it will have the mill running
within 60 days. Tbe plant bus been
idle about three years.
Use Sagebrush Fuel.
Salem W. E. Burke, of Harney
county, representing the Portland Land
company, was before the State Land
board at its last meeting arranging to
perfect , proof of reclamation for about
9,000 acres, under the Carey act, in
Harney county, near Burns. This com
pany will obtain water from wells by
pumping, using sagebrush or fuel to
generate the steam power.
I For Experiment Station.
Echo The United States government
has decided to establish an experiment
station of 49 acres on the East Umatilla
Irrigation project. Land will be set
apart fur this purpose.
