tie capitalists together the latter Of
fered to take the necessary bonds to
: finance an extension of the Columbia
! southern from Shaniko to Bend. The
railroad company did not accept the
offer. The people of Crook county
now come forward with an offer to
build the line and if the capitalists
of Portland will make their former
proposition good the road can easily
be put through from Shaniko to
Bend.
The farmers are determined to go
to extremes in an effort to get this
line. They will go out with their
teams and scrapers and will furnish
feed and do everything that can be
done within reason to push this pro-
ject through. The road can be built
and with reasonable assistance from
capitalists it can be built quickly"
1t is said an easy grade, the maxi
mum of which will be 2.9 per cent,
has been found via Ward creek, and
there will be no serious difficulty in
constructing the line from Shaniko
southwark Some surveys have been
made by Chief Engineer Redfield, of
the Deschutes Irrigation & Power
company. who assisted in the con-
struction of the original Columbia
Southern. He has reported that it is
practical to build a line that will
serve present needs of Central Oregon.
The distance from Shaniko to Mad
ras Is AZ miles. With the line carried
south even that far central Oregon
would derive large benefits.
The Columbia Southern railroad was
built from Biggs to Shaniko largely
through the energy Of few men and
the efforts of the farmers along the
route. The demand for the road was
so strong that it could not be resisted.
It was constructed in the face of OPP
position from the o. r. & N. COM
pany, whose officials persisted in the
assertion that the road could not be
made to pay expenses.
In spite of these mistaken opinions
the Columbia Southern has been
profit Garner from the start. Traffic
In central Oregon has vastly increas-
ed since that time. 1t is known that
an extension Of the Columbia South
ern to Bend would be a profitable |
line. That 1t would extend Portland's |
trade and develop the territory direct
ly tributary to this city is understood. !
Under existing Oregon laws such a /
line could secure equitable traffic ar
rangements with the Columbia South
ern.

over in Crook county the inhabi-
tants have reached the stage Of des-
peration where people get out with
picks. shoyels and scrapers and build
their own railroad in order to get
crops TO the markets, says the Port
land Journal. This is the course that
mas been adopted BY the business men
and farmers Of Bend, Prineville, Ma
.dras and other points. With an ini-
rial capital Of $4,000 they propose
- construct a railroad from Shaniko
10 the Columbia Southern terminus,
10 Bend, 90 miles.
The people Of Crook county have
grown tired waiting for railroad COM
panies to do something toward giving
central oregon transportation, and
they are going TO start in to build their
own road" said Jesse Stearns, counsel
TOR the Deschutes Irrigation & Power
company. THE Wilson creek basin
last year produced 100000 bushels
Of grain. The production and crop
output are rapidly increasing year
after year The rains this year have
helped conditions and there is promise
OF another great crop next fall The
people are freighting everything in
and out Of the country, 100 miles and
further. They are getting tired. They
have long deserved a transportation
line from the existing roads, but they
are still hauling their products to the
nearest railroad, at Shaniko.
'The city OF Portland has an op-
portunity here 70 do something real
for central Oregon. It seems to US
that the capitalists Of Portland should
be willing to do as much for their own
state people as they would do for the
Hartman railroad companies.

Pendleton, June 22,- editor East
Oregonian. Under the head of pos
sble sites for federal building, pub
lished i'm Saturdays issue of June 20,
allow me to suggest block "A, now
owned by Peter Medernach, Henry
Schultz and Peter West, situated near
both r. II. depots so that the r. r..
could deliver the mail without any
expense to the government
This location could be purchased
cheaper than any of the other prop
erty suggested, neither of which
could furnish the 14Ox14O feet as re-
qulred for the building.
This block could be made a very
beautiful park besides. The building
could be erected in the center of the
block, and trees could be set out all
around the block and flowers planted
between the building and the trees.
Cement walks could be built around
the block, and leading to the build
ing from the four corners of the
block.
Benches with a lazy back all
around and along the walks to the
building. Fountains could be on
every corner and lineup so that the
dry town could at least furnish a
cool drink of water during the hot
summer days, while sitting on the
benches under the beautiful shade
trees, admiring the flowers.
Small tables might also be placed
around the block close to the benches
furnished with tablets, ink and pens
and people might answer their let
ters just received and not wait un-
/ til they arrived home, and then for
get to answer.
\ band stand might be erected and
whenever the band wanted to prac-
| tice let them amuse the people sitting
on the benches.
Public speakers could use this
band stand and chairs might be
/ placed under the trees to accommo-
| date thousands of listeners, and not
have to stand in the street in the
burning sun, like they did when Bry-
an was here near the court house
(for he is coming again soon).
Farmers, strangers and everybody
could find there a resting place be-
cause the saloons will be closed,
which was the only place for a far
mer or stranger, to be welcome and
rest when in town.
There being no public or private
park in the city, this location would
be the only place for farmers and
strangers, and in fact everybody, to
find a welcome seat. I know of no
/ other block in the city that can beat
this one for postoffice.
Respectfully submitted.

TO MAKE MEAL FROM ALFALFA.
Harry c. Edwards Has Applied for a
Patent for His Mill.

Harry C. Edwards, who for the last
| four years has been connected with
/ the Cyphers Incubator company at
its mill in Kansas City, has made ap-
! plication at Washington for a pat
! ent on new alfalfa MILL says the
/ Kansas City star. The machine is
/ simple in construction, and the meth
Cd employed in handling the hay
from the bale until it is reduced to a
meal Is divided so as to prevent the
continual accidents and breakdowns
that are so common in the present
methods.
The first mill is now being INSTALL
ed at Fowler, Kan. Because of the
simplicity of construction, and the
comparative cheapness of the new
mill, Mr.. Edwards says there will
soon be more alfalfa mills in Kansas
than there are flour mills.
"The demand for alfalfa meal is
rapidly increasing" Mr. Edwards
said yesterday. "the principal uses
for 1t being in the manufacture of
stock foods of different kinds by mix
ing them with the proper proper.
tions of shorts, bran and corn meal.
In this way 1t Is made to produce re-
suits either for the dairyman or the
market feeder. Most Kansas farms
will yield from three to four cuttings
of alfalfa a year. And in the high,
dry parts of western Kansas, where
crops are uncertain and raised with
much difficulty, alfalfa flourishes."
Selling as it does from 81 to IS
and 80 a ton at the farm, it is the
most profitable crop that these farm
ers can raise. Besides 1t brings into
the market and makes valuable land
that would otherwise be practically
waste"

TO INCREASE CATTLE SUPPLY.
TIL Department. of Agriculture Is
Searching for u New Grazing
Plant.


To increase the supply of beef and
thereby lessen its cost to the Ameri-
can householders is one of the prin-
cipal objects underlying the efforts
of the department of agriculture to
find proteid that will thrive in the
semi-arid regions of the northwest.
Beef and beef products are said to
have reached the highest prices re-
corded in 20 years and the dealers
say that this is due to the scarcity of
cattle.
1t is to increase the supply of beef
by incheasing the proteid belt in the
west that the department of agricul-
ture has sent n. f. Hansen of
Brookings, S. D., to make thorough
investigation of the plant life of
Northern Russia and Siberia.
Prof Hansen will visit the sections
of Northern Europe and Asia where
climatic conditions are similar to
those Of the semi-arid lands of Wy
oming, Colorado, Montana and the
Dakotas. If an alfalfa or clover can
be found which will withstand these
climatic conditions, 100 cattle could
be grazed on the land now required
for 10.
On his previous trips Prof. Hansen
found fields Of alfalfa on the steppes
Of Russia thriving in a climate cor
responding to that Of the western
lands, which it is hoped will be re-
claimed through his efforts.
Secretary Wilson first sent Prof.
Hansen on an expedition for the de-
velopment of agriculture in 1897.
Since then he has made trips trlen-
nially for the department. AS a re-
suit Of one Of these trips he intro
duced into this country the Turkestan
alfalfa, which forms one Of the prin-
cipal crops. in the states bordering on
the Tooth meridian.

A Busy Ten Dollar Bill.

Mr.. Brown keeps boarding
house. Around the table sat his
wife, Mrs. Brown; the village millin-
er, Mrs. Andrews; Mr.. Black, the
baker; Mr.. Jordan, a carpenter, and
Mr.. Hadley, -four, feed and lumber
merchant. Mr.. Brown took SO out
of his pocket and handed it to Mrs.
Brown with the remark that there
was $40 toward the $40 he promis-
ed her. Mrs. Brown handed the bill
to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner, say
ing: THAT pays for my new bonnet"
Mrs. Andrews in turn passed it to
Mr.. Jordan remarking that it would
pay for the carpenter work he had
done for her. Mr.. Jordan handed
it to Mr.. Hadley, requesting his re-
ceipted bill for -four, feed and 1um-
Der. Mr.. Hadley gave the bill back
to Mr.. Brown, saying: THAT pays
$40 on my board" Mr.. Brown
again passed it to his wife, remark
ing that he had now paid her the
$40 he had promised her. She in
turn paid Mr.. Black to settle her
bread and pastry account. Mr. Black
| handed it to Mr.. Hadley, asking
| credit for the amount on his flour
| account. Mr.. Hadley again passed
it to Mr.. Brown, with the remark
| that it settled for that months board,
whereupon Mr.. Brown put it back
in his pocket, observing that he had

And pop some corn upon the hearth
when all are gathered round
He wants the things he used to have

What she should do for one so fine
and used to city life;
But tucked between the boys big

She read It with happy tear, a

Dear mother" them's her very
words, 81 write this on the sly,
So don't tell John, but make for him

I know 1t will delight him, for he
still is but boy

An elderly lady and two young

Straight Talk on Tobacco.

Women's Trades against tobacco
do not carry much weight with the
average smoker. Nor do the charges
of its harmful effects by those whose
opinions are dismissed as prejudi-
cial, unfounded, and extreme. But
fair-minded men ought to be ready
to consider statements of scientific
fact presented by a trained and
scholarly investigator. When one
of the leading physicians and nerve
specialists of the United States, for
example, states that the effect of
tobacco upon the heart and blood
vessels has been proved to be that
of an active poison; that tobacco is
responsible for arterial degeneration
in those long habituated to its Excess
sive use, and interferes with the
proper function OF both lungs and
heart, finally para1yzing their CEN
trail nerves; that it acts upon the
nerve centers, brain and spinal cord !;
that 1t has a powerfully Oppressive
erect upon the nerves of motion
and that its chronic effects are to
produce a poison congestion of the
brain, spinal cord and nerves in
heart, lungs, muscles and skin-it
would seem that the rather positive
disfavor with which some men and
women view the use of tobacco is
not unfounded after ALL These facts,
and many others, are given by DIR.
L. Pierce, the well known neurol-
ogist. The chief excuse for using to-
bacco is that it is so soothing! The
process of degeneration generally is.
