Surveying Engineer G. H. McFarlane
came up from Grand Forks last Tuesday
to Edinburg to look over the route of
the proposed railroad to the cement
mines. A surveying crew of eight men
arrived Monday and it is expected
that in about two weeks the exact loca-
tion of the road will be known. Manager
Campbell is confident that most of it, if
not all of it, will be graded this fall. AS
soon as the right of way is secured work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The Mountaineer tells of a Wal
halla butcher who so mistreated and
manned bull he was leading to
slaughter, that the bull broke away, ran
into the woods and was later found dead
from loss of blood. The paper does not
state that the man was arrested and
punished for his cruelty, but it hardly
seems possible that such monster
could go free in a community of en-
lightened people, and we trust the
omission of the fact that the fellow got
good stiff Jail sentence was an over
sight.
Threshing around Hannah will be
cleaned up by the end of the week with
fine weather. Wheat already marketed
is grading from No. 9 northern to re-
jected and is somewhat of a mixed

a fair sample with the yield running
from % bushels to almost nothing.
Oats have been threshed yielding 35
bushels per acre and with the present
market price of 40 cents make about
the best paying crop this season. Flax

M'Keever, N. Y, June 15.-Hor-
ace Mann, trapper of this place,
has struck up an odd friendship
with an old female wildcat, or more
properly speaking, the cat has struck
up close friendship with him.
The companionship grew out of a
chance acquaintance which seems
to show that even wildcat has a
streak Of gratitude buried way down
in the region next the heart.
Mann was gathering come traps
about fortnight ago when he was
attracted by the snarls Of wildcat
at the base OF a tree a little distance
in front of him. As the feline didn't
run the trapper rightly concluded
that her young were near. After a
few moments ne caught sight on
one kitten In the top of a email
lpopple sappling where it balanced
land mewed because it was afraid to
come down. One foot had been
injured in steel trap and once
having climbed the tree it feared to
descend. It was thin and weak
and Mann's practiced eye told him
that the little animal had beer
lperched in the popple for sew
eral days.

For several days she hurg around

{ DIroR HERALD:
I'm last weeks H raid, there ap-
peared an item in reference to the
Corvallis road leading to the steel
bridge, and the rumor as stated is
the correct solution of the county
courts failure to repair the road.
Corvallis is opposed to Albany

pairs and other small items, and
then the work is patch work az in
the case of the case of the Thorhtan
Lake bridge after the high water,
and the result is that the county is
threatened with . suit for damegest
that will cost the county more than
a new bridge. I submitted a writ
ten proposition to the county court
a few years ago, agreeing to make q
fill acIoss Thornton Lake, twelve
feet wide on top of grade and rip
rap the sides of fill with stone for
$247 90, but no, the court neyt
week let contract for the bridge
that had just fallen down, paying
therefor S250O.00. I would state
that in my offer the county was to
furnish the tiling tor the flow of wa.
ter, costing probably 500. In a
matter of damages to property the
court graciously requested the petit
tioners to go down in their pockets
and pay the small sum of $25, as
the county was SO poor che could
not afford to pay it, but after a hard
lst1uggle did consent TO pay it, but
it almost bankrupted the county AT
the same time the county was
spending $1,000 on the road lead.

have ben trying for two years te

to allow him a part Of the lumber
for culvers. Oh, yee, all right
but when he sent a team after il
there was no lumber In sight. al
hauled away, no lumber for US.
Now, Mr.. Editor, some may say
that I am chronic growler. AL
right, cay what you like, as every
