In the March Outlook will be
found an excellent illustration of
how you have to go away from
home to learn the news. Mr..
Frank H. Spearman's article
on Building Up a Great Rail-
way System" is an analysis of
the development of the Harri-
man system and incidentally of
Mr.. Hartman. After indicating
the general policy of not build
ing, he says:
"On the other hand, in CEN
tral Oregon the Hartman lines
are pursuing quite another policy
in building branches where the
traffic is all to be developed; for
it is the railway, not the news
paper nor the six mule team, nor
the schoolmaster, that is the real
western pioneer. The railway
comes before the factory, brings
with it the plow, opens the mine
and sounds the tragic knell of
receding forest"
Shades of Ananias! What is
there left to be said? Is it possi-
BILE even the Outlook is part Of
the railroad literary bureau?
Even the coyotes, jackrabits and
magpies of central Oregon will
bark more loudly, jump higher
and screeck more shrilly when
they hear Of this. Who is Mr..
Spearman and who gave him this
great scope? He is too easy.
What a joke it would be on Mr..
Spearman TO turn him loose in
the middle of central Oregon and
make him walk in any direction
until he strucka railroad grade.
What O. time he would have dodg-
ing locomotives. Maybe he has
been furnished with a list of the
locations and has taken them
seriously. But to think Of a !
Hartman line pioneering any
thing. 1t is to laugh. Il Portland

In filing in the local land Office
its selections of land in this and
Malheur counties the Oregon Val
ley Land Co., successor to the
Oregon Central Wagon Road Co.,
has placed about 100000 acres
more land on the assessment roll
of this county. This land should
have been listed before, but as
the selections were never made
it was impossible. Likely an at
tempt will be made to collect
back taxes which means a con-
siderable item.

INTEREST IN BolsH.ccos BAY ROAD

Denver parties are now inter
ested in the construction of the
proposed railroad from Coos Bay
to Boise, and will probably have
a definite proposition to offer the
0regon-Idaho Development Con-
gress, which meets at Ontario,
Ore, the latter part of the month,
according to informc ion receiv-
ed from Walter Lyon, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce Of
Marshfeld, who was in Boise
this morning for a few hours
while Ell route from Washington,
ID. c., to Portland and Marsh
field. Mr.. Lyon was formerly
private secretary to Governor T.
I. Geer Of Oregon, and is one of
the most prominent advertisers
and boosters of that state.
The prospects for a railroad
from Boise to Coos Bay look
bright at the present time" de-
clared Mr.. Lyon when interview
ed by Capital News reporter.
Il can make no definite announ-
cement at this time, but we have
several propositions which may
come to a head. One of these
connects Denver railroad men
and capitalists with the proposed
Coos Bay-Boise road and it is
very probable that we will be in
a position to make our plans
known to the congress at its next
meeting in Ontario.
II have learned that the Har-
riman people have made a pecul-
lar proposition for a railraad into
the Coos Bay country, asking in
general terms the support of a
per cent of the construction of
road. 1t is certain that Harri-
man is watching the west and
the agitation for a Coos Bay
Boise railroad. He is in control
out here and it is, therefore, to
his interest to keep tab on the
situation. The Hill people are
also keeping in close touch with
the situation, and while | cannot
say that either have made any
definite advances, it is certain
that they intend to look over the
field.
Il have been in Washington
ever since the congress at Vale
closed and while there was in
touch with many of the railroad !
promoters. While none Of them
have so far made definite advanc-
es | have learned that they are
familiar with conditions out this |
way, and particularly with the
talk surrounding the Coos Bay
Boise road. None of them, how
ever. have taken the initiative.
We are very interested at Coos
Bay over the development of the
harbor there. The residents in
our section have raised, by public
subscription, $15, 900 to be used
for dredging and enlarging the
harbor. This money has been
We have asked con-
gress, through the war depart
ment, to appropriate $500, 900

ton of $25,000, available March

A FOUL MURDER
ON THE U|NTAH

committed on the Uintah r,.,cr-

today gives the following ac-
count of the murder of the old

John .Jarvie, a resident of

years, was murdered on the
night of July q. the body placed
in boat and set adr'ift down

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
This is all that is known of the
sad affair up to time of going to
press. II is presumed that the boat
WAS seen drifting down the river and
upon being caught by someone, the
body was discovered.
John Jarvie has lived on the banks
of the Green river oyer in Brawn's
Park for over thirty years, and with
the exception of the last year or two
has run the only ferry boat in that
part of the country, and therefore
had wide acquaintance and was
universally liked What the motive
could have been is mystery to the
people here. as he was not supposed
to be the possessor of any money. 1t
has been suggested that possibly he
knew too much. as there have been
many dark and shady things happen
over in the Brown Park country dur
ing the thirty years he has lived there
and he was in a good position to see
a great deal that was going on around
the country. His wife died about
fifteen years ago. and the three little
boys he raised up alone are now
nearly grown young men, and pos
sibly were all away from home work
