The surveying party working from
the Des Chutes river along Willow
creek into Madras is not running an
extension of The Dalles-Dufur line,
says The Dalles Chronicle, but is To-
eating an entirely new line from the
Columbia up the Des Chutes river.
Leaving the Des Chutes at the month
Of Willow creek the road will enter
Madras, and from there will ulti-
mately be extended southwark through
Bend. This is the news that came to
Bend in a dispatch from Madras.
The Hill engineers under F. S. Cor
don are making a very careful sur
vey, permanent location stakes being
set. Members of this crew interview
ed at Madras express the belief that
actual construction will begin in the
spring or early summer.
While the same capital that built
the Great Southern is behind this
present work, the fact has developed
since the party reached Madras that
instead of connecting with the Great
Southern at Dufur, this line will be
entirely Independent and will come up
the Des Chutes river on a water level
grade. The Great Southern survey
was picked up at Tygh, from which
place the engineers followed down
the south bank of White river to the
Des Chutes; then up the west bank
of the Des Chutes to almost 12 miles
below Warmspring river. Here a
crossing is made, the line then follow
ing up the east bank of the Des
Chutes to Willow creek, from which
point it works onto the Madras pla-
teau up Willow creek basin.
From Madras the road will be ex-
tended to Bend and ultimately to
klamath Falls, where connection with
San Francisco will be made. It is
stated that within the next so days
this line now surveyed will be picked
up at the mouth of White river and
continued north to the Columbia
river
Thus Jim Hill will have north
and south line from the Columbis
through to San Francisco, a line thai
some day will handle all the heav!
traffic north and south.
The difficulty of overcoming heav!
grades and sharp curves has always
made thinking people doubt that an,
line would ever come from the nortl
except one up the Des Chutes river
This is the most feasible anC
economical route, and statement
made by Gordon and his crew streng
then the belief that such a line will
be constructed at no distant date.

IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
Screnty-Seven Miles of Main Canals
Built on Government Works.

Secretary of the Interior Hitch
cocks report shows a rapid progress
OF government reclamation of arid
lands. The extent of the plans which
are now approved is so great that the
figures will astonish many people.
Already projects are sanctioned which
when completed will reclaim 1908. 500
acres and the great sum OF S37, ,OO0,-
900 will be spent upon the irrigation
works needed for this purpose
In the allotments as now made CAL
ifornia holds third place on the list
in the amount of funds, namely So
O0O.O for the Yuma project which
will reclaim $4,000 acres The big
gest sum will be used i'm Arizona, So
$4,000 on the Salt river irrigation
works. Nevada gets for the Truckee-
Carson project an equal sum to Yu-
ma. The second biggest sum goes 10
Nebraska and Wyoming, on the North
Platte, the amount being $3.S3O.O 900.
and its water is to fertilize 100. 900
acres. Oregon gets $2,5OO,O 900 for
three projects, the Klamath, Malheur
and 'Umatilla. although portion of
the klamath project is credited to
California.
Although Texas was not included in
the terms of the original act even
she is now assured of being benefitte
by the governments general plan.
An act of last February gave her
some aid, and now 1t is expected that
she will get more, as President Roose-
welt has advised It,
Recently Secretary Hitchcock has
approved the Rio Grande reclamation
plan for Texas and New Mexico. This
admission of Texas into the benefits
completes the naturalization of the
reclamation plan, for the Lone Star
state was at first shut out because she
differed from all the "a her states IN
that she owned all her public lands
and never turned them over to the
federal government when she entered
the union.
The work is so FAR forward that n
miles of main canals have been con-
structed, while distributing canals
and bitches to the length of s4O miles
and three and half miles OF tunnels
are done. Though the first work is
confined chiefly to where there is eX-
treme aridity OF climate, there will be
dozen or more states which viii be
largely helped by this assistance of

ers, Three Being Women-Peniten-
tiary Farm Contains 283 Acres.

The New Years issue OF the Salem
Statesman gives the following brief,
but comprehensive sketch of Oregon's s
state prison:
oregon has had penitentiary since
1851. The first state prison was To-
Gated at Portland, and in 1870 1t was
removed TO Salem.
Since the establishment of the pris-
on there have been about $3.50 re-
ceived and receipted for. On Christ
mas day, when the reporter who is
writing this article visited the insti-
tuition, there were 400 inmates, 404
of them serving sentences and two
condemned men waiting death sem
tence. but both cases being on appeal
to the supreme court. OF the 404
prisoners, three were women.
This is not high water mark. There
were Ala prisoners here October 12,
when the United States prisoners were
transferred. No United States pris-
oners are now kept here.
The penitentiary has 2S3 acres OF
decided land. On account of the fact
that one tract is too far distant, that
a good deal of it is occupied by the
windings of Mill creek, and by the
buildings, grounds and brick yard, less
than 200 acres are in cultivation. The
authorities rent 200 acres in addition
and practically all the vegetables used
here are raised on this less than 400
acres of land. Also most of the fruit

in putting crushed rock around the

The Denver Post gives the follow
Ing interesting account of an innova-
tion, which Judge Ben B. Lindsey.
Denvers famous juvenile court Judge,
will Introduce into his work for man
kind:
Judge Ben b. Lindsey Of the Den
YER juvenile court, has arranged to
keep chart of all divorce cases tried
during the year 1906, for the purpose
of compiling statistics on the subject
of domestic differences and their
causes. The other judges have agreed
to assist the judge of the juvenile
court in his work and It will begin
with the trial of the first divorce case
OF the year.
The chart will consist of a series of
questions to be asked the wife or hus-
band or both OF them If they appear
upon the witness stand, and their an
swers Will be put down on the chart
by the judges themselves.
4f the lawyers happen to ask the
questions enumerated on the chart
they VIII be filled in as the trial pro-
ceeds. but should they fail, the trial
judge VIII then PROFOUND the ques-
tion and fill in the answer after the
lawyers are through examining the
party or parties to the suit.
Among the facts to be ascertained
will be the respective ages OF the hus-
band and wife, the history. of previous
marriages where there have been for
ttutr 'lNNF
of the husband before and after mar
riage, the first quarrel and what 1t
was over and all of the unpleasant
incidents up to the time OF the sepa-
ration.
Il am going to devote more of my
time to the interests of girls and
women than in former years" said
Judge Lindsey. 81 think that / will
be enabled to do them great deal Of
good this year, and by compiling this
data in divorce cases think the
courts Will be aided largely in solving
domestic dffficultie and that they
Will also be better prepared to do JUS
tice in particular cases.
81 think by the plans we have
adopted In the use of the chart that
we will get at the root of much of the
trouble that exists in domestic circles,
and when once we have thoroughly
understood this we will be able to
handle It better and eventually eradi-
cate 1t.
Yes, I am going to work more for
the girls ana women this year than
formerly. 1t is a New Years resolu-
ton have made. I have been giving
the most OF my work to the boys. but

the boys, and | Will divide time with

HOBBIES and Geometry.

Hobbies was not yet fifteen when he
went to Oxford. He did not much
care for logic yet he learned 1t and
thought himself good dlsputant.
There is no reason to think he learned
anything else at oxford save a strong
dislike of academic institutions and
methods. He turned from the official
studies to amuse himself with geogra-
ply and voyages. As TO mathematics
there was no official recognition Of
them at all while Hobbies was at the
university, so there is nothing improb-
able in the statement that Hobbies had
never opened copy of Euclid until he
was near middle age. The story is best
told in Aubrey's own words:
He was forty years old when he
looked ON geometry, which happened
accidentally. Being in a gentleman's
library, 'Euclid's Elements lay open,
and 1t was the forty-seventh PROPOSE
tion Lib. |, so he read the PROPOSE
ton. BY George says he, this is i'm
posslbler So he read the demonstra-
ton Of 1t. which referred him back to
another, which he also read, 'et sic dein-
ceps,' that at last he was demonstra-
lively convinced of that truth. This
made him in love with geometry"
