Dr Henry Waldo Coe told the East Oregonian he aims to build an electric line linking Pendleton with the county s west end to boost irrigation districts and settlement. Engineers may start within months to assess feasibility and franchising needs in Pendleton, with no interference expected with other lines. Coe and Columbia Land Co manager D B Costuma will base operations in Pendleton and Echo, promoting irrigation interests along the route. Over 100 imported horses arrived for markets, shipped by A C Ruby of Commercial National Bank. They will be shown at the Oregon state fair and possibly tour the Northwest before sale in Portland.

Uncle Frank Nichols and the Deschutes Pioneer Railroad Hope
Uncle Frank Nichols of Laidlaw visited Madras last Friday marking his first trip to the area since Madras was founded as the Madras Pioneer. He was the first pioneer on Deschutes land near Laidlaw, filing a 160 acre pre-emption at Pickett's Island 18 years ago. Nichols recalls expecting the Coos Bay and Eastern to build through in two to three years, a prospect that has not improved for 18 years as the Corvallis and Eastern extension remains uncertain. He argues settlers should not rely on Harriman hoping for rapid railroad completion to Central Oregon.
