Said to Have Been Here
In Interest of Harrl

It la now etated tbat one rf tbe
members to J. P. O'Drieoa' party,
wbo recutly vialted Laker Uw was
none otber tbao Banker tioblS. the
ooUd New York Uoaooler. Tbe fol
lowing, from tbe UnUrlo Argus, has
si ring of good reasoning whlcb arous
es buoyant bopss:
Tbs railroad officials absolutely re
fuse to give out any lofoituation re
garding tbelr future action and it is
ooly by closely watchlog tbe move
euts nf tbs leadera tbat a line can be
got on tbelr Intention.
A person Iu close touob with some
of tbe leaders ami wbo has played tbe
game from tbe Inside gave us tbe in
formation which follows:
Banker Bebiff of New York, wbo Is
reoognlzed as tbs banker and adviser
ot the liarrlmaa Interests, baa just
made an inspection ot tbe propoaed
exteusion of the Oregon ana Eastren
road, in company with President O'
Brien and General Tratllo Manager
Miller of tbe O-K-N and Southern
PaoiOo. At tbe same time tbs men
were going over the road from the.
wst, Tratllo Mauauer Tuttle and Lo
catlug Eimluer Btradley were look
lug over the line from tbe east, the
parties metiug aud oousultlng.
These men are recoguized aa the
bead of the Harriniau system iu tbe
Northwest and their word of appioval
waa all tbat was ueoded to start the
graders at work.
The New York buuker expressed
himself as suprlsed at the wonderful
possibilities of the section ooveied
and when he leaiued that the eastern
end ot the route was even moie piom
iug be expressed urnut rurprlue tbat
such a Held bad boeu overlooked for
so mauy years.
Tbe money situation is known to
lie easier aud there is every leason to
believe that Kauker bchltf tnadu the
trip to personally inspect before giv
ing hlr approval. The Impressions
gained are such tbat he will no doubt
order the work commenced at once.
It is undertdood that, the Oregon
Short Line will have chargo of tbe
construction work from bia end and
tbe Southern Pauitlo will be in charge
on the west. Iu this way they cau
aoou complete tho work across tbe
slate.
Keports that the contractors who
are buildiug tbe two railroad into
Central Oregon have been laying off

WOOL MARKET OPENS UP
Michael P. Barry and Tom Lynch
Sell About 25,000 Pounds
J. FRAIL SECURES FIRST 1910 CLIP
Price Is Not Stated, Hut Daniu Rumor Places It At
Close to Sixteen Cents World's Market
Reported Strong
J. Frankl tbis week purchased tbe
first of the 191U clip of Lake county
wool, at a price wblcb baa Dot beeo
made publlo although It is generally
supposed to be very close to lbs 16
cent mark. Two clips were pur
chased, those of Mlcbael P. Barry
aud Tout Lynch, aggregating 25,000
pounds. It l likely thWQer 'e
will follow shortly, v't.lU; sheep
men geuerallv are holloa for 16 c .Is,
aud this figure the buyer conisiders
too blgb.
Be this as it may tbe wool merest
throughout the world, aside from tbe
Pacidc coast seems to be strong, and
from prices being paid In tbe Rocky
Mountain region it would appear aa
It Lake county wool abould easily
command 16 cents. It is possible tbat
some growers may ship tbsir wool on
consignment, in wbljh case buvers
will advauce from 10 ceots to 13 cents
per pound aooordiog to quality.
The third wool sale of tbe season at
Bbaolko brought about tbe transfer
of 615,000 pounds of the staple at tbe
lowest general market ot tbe eeeaoo.
prloee ranging from 11 to 15 1-8 cents.
C. 11. Ureen representing J. Koib
land Co., was tbe heaviest boyer,
with a total or 201,000 pounds, and
alao paid tbe highest price of tbe
day. The highest prioe in tbat mar
ket was at tbe sale three weeks ago
wbon 17 cents waa reaobed.
NEW CHIEF FOR THIS LAND DISTRICT
Western Man Appointed and He Announces a More
Liberal Policy and Shows a Better Feeling
Toward Settlers
The Oregoolan has tbe following,
which will be read witb deep interest
by settlers on public lauds in eastern
Oregon :
Aftei assumluii the office of obief
of the fleld service of the general land
cilice, Lewis 1. Sharp yeetreday made
two impurtaut announcements. Both
are of interest to Portland, piomiaiug
as they do, a safe, sane and equitable
administration of tbe land laws per
tainting to homesteads iu Oregon.
"Aa western meu, boru and reared,
1 shall handle examinations and re
ports upou homesteads and otber laud
eutriea from the view point ot the
west, aud shall eudeavor to secure
equitable action iu each case," an
nounced the uew chief of tbe divi
slou. "Aside from tbat statameut 1
bave nothing to give to tbe public at
this time, except to say that all of
the Held work of tbe northwest will
be hereafter bundled from the Port
laud headquarters.
"Heretofore, headquarteis bave
been maintained at Seattle for west

Those oilices will be abolished aud

Should the policy of tbe uew chief
aa to pertalniug to homesteads upou
the equitable rights of the claimants
to the lauds be approved bv the sec
retary of the interior, it is said to
Pave Cannon's trial waa held last
week and he bas returuded to bis
borne in Davit Creek. Tbe shooting
episode oost him 10 dollars a shot.
It appears tbat alosle-barrel guns
would be more economical.

of the 10th lost Bays: "Hayers for

mark tbe end of hysterical land fraud
prosecutions io Oregon. It is taken
to mean tbat the United States dis
trict attorney will not be called upon
to indict as many ssettlers wbo are
attempting to hew homes from the
forests, and tbat tbe department of
justice will uot be called iuto aotion
except where fraud io tbe entry, oo
oupancy and improvement of tbe laud
is notorious.
Through the uew arrangements
Portland becomes tbe headquartere
for the entire force of men at work
on examinations iu the northwest and
tbis will necessarily result in the ex
penditures of more funds for rentals
aud living expenses among the mer
chants of the city. At tbe present
time there are 23 persons at tbe
headquarters. Tbat number is ex
pected to be increased at a rapid
rale. Theie are 24 meu iu the Held as

Louis Li. Shorp the new chief, came
here, from Helena, Mont., where he
waa in charge for a number of years,
aud be has spent H years in tbe ser
vice of the land office. He Is the sou
of an Oregou pioueer who crossed tbe
tbe plains in 1852 and located In the
Willamette valley near Eugeue. Mr.
Sharp was boru in the State of Wash
lugtou and is 31 years of aye. His
education was obtained iu the west
aud his eutlre sympathies are witb
tbe people who bave developed tbe
Oregou couutry from a wilderness to
communities of contented homes.
John II. Lowis, State Eugineer, bas
announced bis candidacy for the

amount of work, bat is also a thank
less one.
At present Mr. Ahlstrom will make
no changes in tbe office, ana Elaon
Carry will continue as first assistant.
However, commencing Jcly 1 an
additional oleik will be employed,
bat the buisness ot tbe office is grow
ing so tepidly tbat even another olerk
will not lessen tbe labor of tbe pre

Mr. Ahlstrom baa installed a stock
of cigars, tobaccos, outs, confection

Everyone enjoyed themselves to such
au extent tht the purpose ot the trip
llshiuK was entirely forgotten. But
few mif haps occurred. Two of the
party became iuterested iu studying
nature aud its beauties on the way
out, and lost the road, goiug about
five miles or so ,iu tbe wrong direo
tiou. They tlually "showed up, bow
ever, iu time for dinner. A few over

to break down, but no serious injury
