yon means the abandonment of a Hl!l
line through the canyon. 1t is con-
sidered possible that some sort of an
agreement has been arrived at where
by the two systems may operate over
the one line.
w. w. Cotton, generai counsel for
the Hartman lines in Oregon, gave
out the following statement this morn
ing, explaining the details of the
transaction consummated with the
filing of deeds at Vale:
Prior to September 1909, the Ore
gon Eastern Railway company made
a survey through the Malheur canyon
from Vale to the Harvey valley and
filed its maps in the United States
land office, and the same were duly
approved by the secretary Of the in
terror, so that the Oregon Eastern ae-
quired a right of way across the pub
lie lands.
after this survey was made and
the right of way was acquired, the
Boise & Western Railway company
was incorporated and prior to the
making of any survey by it, the Boise
& Western took deeds across the land
of some private owners in the Malheur
canyon for a right of way described
with reference to the center line OF
the Oregon Eastern. Afterwards, the
Boise & Western took new deeds from
the private owners, with whom they
previously had dealt, in which the
last deeds of right of way were de-
scribed with reference to the center
line Of the Boise & Western.
"In connection with such right of
way, the Boise & Western also ac-
quired certain pieces of farm land, out
of which such right of way was taken,
The deeds which are now made by the
Boise and western to the oregon East
ern are deeds of the right of way so
acquired from such farm lands"

OREGON SHEEP
BEST IN WORLD

That the Pacific Northwest raises
the best sheep in the world was DEM
onstrated at the Midwinter Sheep
Show held in Portland by the Ma
tional Wool Growers association in
connection with the annual conven-
tion. Baron Duke, an oregon year.
ling Cotswold lam, defeated all COM
els, being declared by the judges the
best long wool sheep in the world.
Fred A. Koser, of Rickreall, Ore,
showed the winning animal, in COM
petition with a yearling that won the
championship prize in the Royal
Show of Great Britain last fall and
has heretofore never been defeated.
Baron Duke is an animal with a long
Oregon ancestry and shows what the
Pacific Northwest can do in produc-
ing sheep.
Oregon wins against the best ram
in England and that is recognized as
being the best in the world" said F.
V. Harding, of Waukesha, Wis, own
er and exhibitor of the English prize
winner. You have a climate here
similar to that of England and l at
tribute the result more to climatic
cor ditions than anything else. You
have an ideal country for the long
wool sheep"
DR.. James Withycombe, director of
the oregon experiment station at
Corvallis, said "The remarkable fact
that we have the best sheep in the
world is due primarily to climatic
conditions that produce a wide va
riety of forage plants for sheep and
other livestock. 1t is an active DEM
onstration Of the superiority of the
Oregon long wool sheep.
Defeat of the English breeders was
made possible by the selection of
fine ram from the herd of Mr.. Koser,
but he is not alone in the production
of this high grade of sheep. There
are many other flocks which have
just as good rams, l believe. If these
sheep of the royal herds of England
we're not real prize winners, it would
not he so conclusive, but inasmuch as
they are, certainly rejoice in the out
come"

TOWNSHIP BOARD MEETS.
Action on Two Petitions Postponed
Until the Next Meetinq.

The Calumet township board at its
regular monthly meeting this morning
decided to postpone action on two Pc
titions until it's next meeting. One
petition Is from residents Of Pine
street. who want an alley established
between Third and Fourth streets
Blue Jacket. and the other is from
farmers in Section Il, who want a
short connecting road about one
quarter of a mile I'm length built in
that section.
The alley proposed is the same that
the Red Jacket village council has
been asked to deal with The board
on learning this decided to await ac-
tion by the Red Jacket village coun-
ell. Part of the proposed alley is I'm
the village. and part I'm the township
The petition from the residents of
Section II reads as follows:
1--WE respectfully petition that a
short connecting road be built on the
southeast corner of the southwest
quarter of Section II to connect said
road with the south section line OF
said section, at a point about one
quarter OF a mile east of the south
west corner of said section. and that
the road follow from this point along
the south section. lines of Sections II
and is to the southwest corner post
of Section Is.
I'VE attach hereto a rough sketch
of the road as II is located at present,
and as IL will be located If this change
is made. The route suggested Is one
upon which a road can be built with
little expense, and Il this change is
made IL will make n much shorter
route. and will avoid the necessity of
passing across several different farms
as IL does nj present"
The petition is signed bv every far
mer residing in that district.

CANADIAN PRESBYTFRlANS
! HOLD GENERAL ASSEMBLl
MOVEMENT FOR UNION OF cHuR-
CHES TO BE CONSIDERED.
QUEENS UNIVERSITY MAY BE
NATIONALIZED.

Ottawa, Ont, June 6.--The thirty
seventh General Assembly of the Pres
byterlan Church in Canada will meet
in Knox church in this city tomorrow
with the retiring Moderator. the Rev
DIR. John Forrest in the chair. The
most of the ministerial commissioners
are here, and the arrivals tomorrow
are expected To make up the compile
ment. ...
Outward and visible signs are abun-
dant that the present General Assem-
bly, is likely to be one of the most i'm
portant Of recent years. There are
many big questions for the commits
sioners To consider and act upon.
Church union is one of the foremost
Of these, and IL is predicted that IL will
cause keen discussion. The propo-
sition that the Presbyterians should
unite in an organic way with the Meth
odist and Congregational churches in
Canada was first brought up I'm the
assembly at St. John seven years ago.
During the past year the question has
been voted on by the 6s presbyteries
of the Presbyterian church, from the
Atlantic To the Pacific. and the result
shows a decided sympathy on the part
of the ministers and the presiding ell
ders In favor of the movement for un-
ion.
The position Of Queens University
and its future relation to the Church,
a question that has been bone of
contention for almost a decade, will
come up again and with a fair prospect
of final settlement. Principal Grant,
during the latter years of his life, urged
that the university should be national
lied, and Principal Gordon. now in
charge. has taken the same stand A
small coterie of Presbyterlans. how
ever has strongly resisted the idea of
separation and has sought to have the
present relationship continued.
The election of moderator this
year is creating little interest, from
the fact that the choice of the Rev
DIR. II. p. Mackey of Toronto. well
known as the secretary of the foreign
mission committee OF the church, is
regarded as a foregone con-
clusion.
