A little company- of bustlers took
long trip to Bend to see the railroad
opened some days ago. and a faithful
trio of local expansionists journeyed
all the way to Burns to s e what
would be Joae at the meeting of the
Central Oregon Development League.

the fact and some decided action is
taken, and a straight, clean cut cam

will get that to which it is rightfully
entitled.
