An Earth Quake Felt
In This Vicinity

4 People of this city felt a dis
tinct earth quake shock last Sat
urday night between 1890 and IL
o'clock. At first each individual
who experienced it was not sure
of the cause and it was only after
several had compared notes that
it was decided the earth had
been shaken. No damage of any
nature was done in this section
but in several places in Nevada
there was considerable damage.
According to newspaper reports
the shock was felt in six states
it being most distinct in Nevada
and Utah. Dishes were broken.
some windows and in Winnie
mucca a large building under
course of construction was badly
shaken and damaged.
Windows ratified at BAKER ana
all the clocks stopped at 1886.
The writer did not feel the
shock, although it was about the
time he retired for the night.
Others had varied sensations and
some felt seasick. One man at
the Burns Hotel had retired and
when the shock was experienced
he decided there was some one IN
the room shaking the bed and
got UP to investigate.
Geo. Hopkins was sitting IN
the hotel Office reading and 1t
shook the lights and the maya
zine he was reading so that ne
had rather a creepy feeling.
This is the first earth quake
shock that has been felt in this
section for over thirty years so
far as the writer knows.

MORE RAILROADS FOR
CENTRAL OREGON
Portland Capitalists Back Of
Project to Build 400 Miles
Line in Next Three Years

- " aNaCthataa0 RVaAN 1A - ehNfAt
with James Weston last night
The Times Herald learned that
some 40 capitalists Of Portland.
headed by r. Il. Strathorn, FORM
erly connected with the Southern
Pacific railroad, and who has
built many hundred miles of road
for that company. had organized
to build 400 miles Of railroad
through Central Oregon and that
it was expected to complete the
entire project within three years.
This news was published In the
Boise Statesman Of yesterday and
which will arrive here this after
noon on the mail. The plan
Is to connect the entire Central
Oregon territory directly with
Portland with rail lines and the
most important will be q connec-
ton from the Bend east TO join
the Oregon q Eastern In this
Valley. Another line viii be
constructed south from Bend to
connect with the Nevada, CAL
ifornia & Oregon at Lakeview.
another from Lakeview 80 miles
into Warner Valley to connect
with a proposed north and south
line from this place down by the
P. Ranch: also a connection of
the Southern Pacific from Weed
to Natron.
This piece Of news was not un-
expected as correspondence with
men interested here had been in
dicating such a project for some
time. Mr.. Strathorn has made
several trips into this territory
during the past few months in
the interest of such q move
and il has been thoroughly in
vestigated therefore there is not
likely TO be any delay In getting
down to work.
The character Of men who are
backing this enterprise gives II
standing as they are all men Of
means aud lave much at stake
in Portland. therefore are vitally
interested. II has been stated
before by men who should know
that there would be no further
extension of the line from the
east than now under contract
and that any future railroad work
would come from the west. This
is the direction from which II
should. come. That Is the rail-
road connection desired by the
people of this section.
The proposed lines will bring |
much territory directly to Port
and and also give a transcon-
mental line from the east that
will save many hundred miles
rom coast to coast.
With both the Hill and Harri-
nan systems connected up from
he east and south through this
erritory it gives Portland o great
'usiness advantage and brings q
asst unsettled territory within
each of markets and induce
ients to settlement and develop
lent. /.
