RAILROAD NHS COMING SEu wHH1
Sampler Valley Railway Extension Into
Burns Practically Assured.

Mr. Grant Geddes. manager OF
the Oregon Lumber Company and
Sumpter Valley Railway, yester-
day received o letter from Mr..
David Eccies. 40 Ogden. presi-
den. VI these two large corpora
uoHs ina, definite arrangements
had been made for the coming OF
an OF the officers and directors OF
che Sumpter Valley Railway 90
Baker City in O few DAYS and
from th.s point the party would
go o. Burns, Haney county, by
automobile, says the Democrat.
Among those Of the officials
vii. compose the party viii be
David Eccles. c. ". Nibiey
Judge Dee and ". Il. Watts.
manager OF the Utah C0nsuuc-
ti0n Company.
The party will be accompanied
from Baker City 20 Burns by
Messrs. Jos. 4. Vest and Grant
Geddes.
The coming Of these proni-
nent railway men is signihcent
and means O strong probability
that an extension OF the Sumpter
Valley Railway 10 Burns viii soon
take on definite form for il is an
open secret that Mr.. Eccles. pre-
siden. Of the road, Is now favor
ably impressed with the impor-
taHce OF building his road 10
Harney county, e wise idea, il
would seem, from the develop
menIs thaI are manifest IN other
quarters and the determination
Of Hartman and Hill 20 reach .
Central Oregon.
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1908-09-05

There is a decided interest be-
ing taken by local people and if
all will do their part we will have
one of the best fairs in our his
tory. The management is pleas
ed with the outlook considering
the unfavorable season and other
handicaps which have made il
necessary 70 make rather radical
changes from the former pro-
grams. At present there are
several horses being put in shape
for the speed events and as there
is no entrance fee to races it is
likely there will be q big field of
horses in each event There are
several preparing their stock for
exhibition too. so il will be quite
an interesting exhibition Of stock
in all classes.
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1908-09-05

It needed no great amount OF
wisdom or prescience for the
Journal TO predict. as It frequent
I has done. That no sooner would
Central Oregon get one railroad
than it would have two. Harri-
man and Hill are each now alert
an~Fctiye in securing the first
hold of a particularly strategic
route. and a struggle over its
possession, like many that have
occurred in various parts of the
country. may be expected. But
the prospect is that both Hill and
Hartman will find q way into
and through that region. Why q
great railroad man in such q case
always defcr acting until q rival
forces him TO actis not easily un-

MAN MURDERED on STEMS MOUNTAIN.
Lareuzo {. Nedlin Kills LorenIo Y.
Ramos on sheep Range

Lorsnro {. Medliu Kills LorspIO p.
Ramos on Sheep Range.
A telephone message was re-
ceived here last saturday night
that Leonzo Ramos. q Spaniard
who was herding she for James
Paul. had beer iled on the
mountain and requested the pro
per officers to come over and in
vestigate the killing.
Geo. Sizemore went out as
special deputy sheriff and in the
absence Of Coroner Geary. Fran
els And~ on. justice of the peace
Of Lake precinct went out to hold
the inquest accompanied by DR..
c. c. Griffith.
The shooting occurred on
STEMS mountain about 20 miles
south of Diamond and there were
no eve witnesses. Ii seems that
Medlin and the Spaniard had
fought on two occasions before,
the first time Medlin had been
the victor. but the next time the
had decidedly the best
of the mill.
Medln swOre vengeance and
went to Diamond where he pur-
chased a 81 calibrc Colts automa-
tic revolver with which the
killing was done. The two met
again Saturday when the Spaniard
was killed. An examination Of
the body showed that the first
shot took effect near the heart
and was no doubt fatal but two
other shots were fired one strik-
ms in the jaw and another in the
back or rather top of the head
ranging down through the brain
and into the lower jaw. Ramos
was unarmed and from the empty
shells found it appears the mur-
ierer advanced toward him with
every shot. The shot in the top
of the head being at very close
range as the hat was powder
burned.
Deceased was unmarried but
the main support Of his aged
parents. He worked here last
summer on the Harney County
National Bank building and has
.wo cousins iu ,b.s caoG.
