Here To, Brother
The recent cold snap cuused the local
power plunt to run only night time,
thereby compelling ua to bitch our
lineotype to a gas engine. And we
want to say rishtliere that the thund
ers of a gas engine all day long gives
one a tired feeing, especially if he is
trying to iiondense a bit of news.
Alturus Plaindeaier.
The Examiner likewise agrees and
sympathizes with you, neighbor.
that his hay waa free of vetch and
alfalfa but that it continued aome little
clover, which apparently did not affect
its sale. He eaiimatea that there are
about 500 cara of bay ot similar ouality
in the valley now that could be aold in
the aame manner.
At this price it ia safe to figure a net
price of S15 per ton for hay, after all
expensea of baling and shipping are
deducted. Such a market price should
be sufficient inducement to encourage
farmers and hay growera in this vici
nity to cuhivate their land and sow it
to timothy, instead of producing the
wild hay, for which there ia no profit
able market. Sommers & Co. are large
bay dealers and could likely handle all
the hay produced in this section.
Mr. Venator states that two tons of
timothy hay to the acre are grown on
their ranch, with water, which at the
above price means a net producing
amount of $30 per acre. When one
stops to realize the enormous acreage
of land in this valley, with irrigation
uvuiluble, tbut ia now growing wild
hay. und which would te mude to pro
duce, timothy buy, the revenue thu. can
be figured is amazing.

Reported That Boys Have
Shot Some Birds
Near Town
The heavy fall of snow during the
ppst few days has deprived thu flocks
of quail of their chances to feed, and
about two hundred of the birds have
congregated near the Creed McKendrce
residence at the mouth of bullard can
yon. Some of the local sports have con
tributed toward a fund to buy wheat
for the quail and fhey are now being
fed to tide them over the snow period.
It is reported that some boys who
Utelv frequent that vicinity in pursuit
of rabbits have been f hooting quail.
The lads probably do not realize that,
they are violating tho law in this in

Constructing Line Will Be
Pushed Across State
With Much Vigor
The Oregon Eastern Railroad Co. has
passed :nto the bands of the O. W. R.
& N. Co., according to information
which has been given out from Vale,
and the work of extending the line
westward will proceed with more vigor
than ever. It is believed that the O.
W R. & N. Co. plans to make the new
lOdA -V part ot a "loop the loop in
Oregon" plan. It is believed that upon
the complelinon of the road, trains will
be started in Portland, proceed to Vale
by either route and return to Portland
by the other route,' merely changing
crews at the division points.
'Ihe Oregon Eastern began construct
ion operations at Vale in May, 1912.
Tracklaying from Vale westward start
ed July 5. 1912. At this time, rails are
laid and ballasted, with the best of
ties and 75 lbs. of steel, a distance of
73 miles westward far into the Malheur
canyon, two great concrete and tteel
bridges are finished across the Melheur
river in the canyon, and two others
nearly nnistied ; more than two-tmrds
of tne 26, 000-foot tunnel at mile 38.2
is excavated, and the Utah Construct
ion company of Salt Lake City has most
of the grading done on the right of
way a distance of SO miles to the west
ward. It will require three more
years to put te line through to its
coast connections, wherever they are
destined to be.
