The ladies of Sylvia II. d.
Lodge, No. 43. /. o. o. F., are
quite proud of the Odd Fellow
building now nearing completion
and are determined to have some
hand in the work, therefore they
desire to help furnish the new
lodge room. They have planned
to give a grand ball in the larg-
est store room as soon as it is
completed, the funds from this
ball to be added to that now on
hand for furniture. They may
also serve supper if the banquet
room is completed in time.
Some of the local musicians
have volunteered their services
10 assist in furnishing the music
for the occasion. 1t is possible
the ball will be given about
Thanksgiving.

In Idaho and Oregon within
the last two years, 10 conven-
tons and representative gather
ings have met to consider the
construction of railroads by dis
tricts, the money for construc-
tor to be secured by bonding
the land benefited. Railroads
make land more valuable. They
add from $40 to $500 an acre to
agricultural land, especially in
the state of Oregon, where they
make fruit shipments possible.
In California irrigation canals
costing many millions have been
constructed in this manner. The
construction of railroads by bond
ing the lands benefited and keep
ing the enormous values thus
created in the hands of the peo-
pie owning the land, instead Of
in the hands of Wall street specu-
lators, may seem a little startling,
but if the people are willing to
let any railroadless district try
it, perhaps it may be a way out
of paying dividends on watered
stock or doing without transpor-
tation. 1t is up to the people.

DIXIE is NOW THE TEpMINus.

General Superintendent Grant
Geddes of the Sumpter Valley
railroad while here last week
stated that the extension of the
Sumpter Valley railroad would be
complete to Huckleberry flat by
the middle of this week and at
that time the company would
handle all traffic both freight
and passengers to that point.
The name of the new station has
been changed from Huckleberry
Flat to Dixie. This was done to
avoid confusion, as there is an
other station on the line by the
same name. The railroad COM
pany are entitled to high compli-
ment for the early completion Of
the road and they are entitled to
all reasonable encouragement to
complete the extension on into

If you are a kicker and see the
shadow of failure in everything
that is proposed to help the town,
for heavens sake go into some
secluded canyon and kick your
own shadow on the claybank, and
give the men who are working
to build up the town a chance.
One long faced, followed eyed,
whining, gaping, chronic kicker
can do more to keep away busi-
ness and capital from a town
than all the drouths, short crops,
cinch bugs. cyclones and blizzards
combined. -Dufur Dispatch.

The IIlimiiable Wheat Fields.

1t is through wheat. through a
monomania of wheat, that the
New Line runs from the Rockies
back to Winnipeg, a thousand
miles.
1t is for wheat that the Grand
Trunk Pacific, beginning at a
point east of Winnipeg on the
Government section of the New
Line, has built a branch south
ward to Canada's Lake Superior
port.
1t is for wheat that at that
port, at Fort William and Port
Arthur, the dominating objects
in the landscape are circular bins,
wheat wells, which have an i'm
mediately prospective capacity of
25, 900, 600 bushels.
II is for wheat, overflowing
even such a prospect. that the
Grand Trunk Pacific, at Fort
William, beyond the Mission
River, has driven 1000 piles
through soft soil to rock-bottom,
has covered their tops with a
solid concrete mattress three
feet thick, and on that mattress,
is rearing concrete cylinders,
twenty-four feet in diameter, to
a height Of ninety-fve feet,
seventy of them, in seven rows
of ten each, touching each other,
making fifty-four interspaces,
making a capacity Of $500, 600
bushels, making one unit.
Four such units will make the
storage part of one elevator.
Four such elevators will COM
plete the plan, a 40, 900, 000-bush-
el plan.
1t is for wheat that more ships
are needed every year to travel
from Port Arthur and Fort Will
liam down to the ports on the
lower Great Lakes. WIN. Hard

oEnd OF free landN IS Ihl

END of free land is the
heading on an article from Serb
ner published on the first page in
this issue in which the public
land commissioner is quoted as
saying that public lands which
now remain are chiefly arid in
character. This may be so to a
certain extent but not altogether
II merely shows that the east is
yet quite ignorant of the west
and conditions. We yet have
Millions of acres of land to home
stead where profitable crops may
be raised by proper cultivation
without irrigation. This land is
semi-arid. We also have in some
portions of the west great bodies
of arid land where irrigation is
possible, vet these eastern peo-
pie, although they bewail the
condition of no land for the land
less, will not allow it to be ac-
eomplished. On our first page
is also an article stating that the
east will oppose the proposed
bond issue to make the reclama-
ton of vast areas possible. The
man who takes advantage of the
land is the one who must pay for
this bond issue, yet the East will
fight it..

A fire alarm was turned in
about 4;30 yesterday evening but
before the engines could be

east of the Red Front barn.
Mat Lowery, the man who
shot a woman here q few weeks

bail and was let out of jail. His
case was carried over to spring
term of circuit court and his bail
fixed at $1,000. His brother put
up cash bail. This leaves our

Twelve hogs recently disposed
of to a local butcher brought the
rancher over $3.50. These pork
ers had likely been raised upon
alfalfa and SKINNED milk with a
little grain feeding to top them
off. Does it pay to raise hogs in
Harvey county? There is no
over production Of hogs in the
local market and farmers should
raise more of them. The same
may be said of dairy products
and poultry.
