Crook County Convictions Upheld After a lengthy consideration the tuiprcme court of Oregon has af firmed the convictions obtained In the Crook county circuit court of the men charged with the violation of the local option taw then in force in Crook county. It will be remembered these cases were tried at t'rineville two years ago and verdicts of guilty were re turned againtit the defendants, John Billups. Dan BiggerstafT, William Snell, James Green, Harry Kenner, l'crry Smith, Billy McGee, George Brown, Leo Gardner, George Att well and C. A. Ramsey. After their conviction each of the defend ants apeuled to the supreme court, and in each case the principal point relied upon was the question as to the validity of the election whereby local option was enacted in Crook county in 1908. Lengthy briefs were filed both by the statu and the defendants and all questions relating to the regularity of the local option election were ex haustively argued. In their opinions the supreme court has upheld the regularity of the election .at every' step as well as sustaining the sufiiciency of all in dictments under which the defend ants were tried. At the conclusion of the trials in May, 1910, each defendant was fined lCOanditis this fine which will now have to be paid, making the aggregate to be paid into the coun ty treasury of 11650. All of the defendants gave bonds at the time of their coyietion and in a conversation with District At torney Wilson, that official stated that notices had already been sent to the bondsmen notifying them to pay the fines assessed to the county clerk at once. The bondsmen are nil reliable and their fines will un doubtedly be paid immediately and if they are not the district attorney will take such proceedings as may be necessary to enforce Jheir collection.

Inquire ot Mrs. J.C.Breedltig. 12-12 2t Dr. J. II. Rosenberg has just Installed a Rose X ray and bigb frequency apparatus, and a rep resentative was favored with a practical demonstration of the wonderful machine during the week. The X-ray, (unknown ray) was discovered by Professor Koont gen in 1895, and proved to be one of the roost wonderful discover ies of the century, especially as applied to surgical and medical scienco. The properties of the X ruy enable one to soe his own skeleton and the operator can actually see any foreign sub stance unbedded in thti muscles, tissues or bones of the body as plainly as though the body was composed of clear glass. The advantage of this apparatus' in the examination and reduction of fractures and dislocations can not be estimated. Actual photogra phs, or rather radiographs, may betaken of the injured bones, and their perfect readjustment affected. Tho machine transforms the current from an ordinary electric light fiixture to a high current of many thousand volts; and while the X ray is soft and mild in ap pearance, it has the most pene trating qualities and is the result of immense power. Whon tho Prineville Light & Power Company has its duy cur rent in operation, which we un derstand will be in about thirty days, Dr. Rosenberg will be able to operate the machine at all times. In connection with the X-ray is what is known as the high frequency current, which is ap plied by means ot glass vacuum electrodes, and has proven es pecially successful in the treat ment of skin diseases and chronic disorders. In discussing the X-ray, Dr Rosenberg said: "I want the community to understand that they are cordially invited tocome to my office and examine this wonderful machine, for the more the general' public, understands about modern scientiuc,advance ment, the greater will be the op portunity to reap the benefit of these discoveries. This machine will be at the service ot every regular phyglelan in the county for emergency cases, and I hope the profession and their patients will be largely benefited by this investment." As a striking illustration of tbe benefits of this macule to tbe public, Dr. Rosenberg immed iately located and quickly raxnov ed a brass pin from the throat of Miss Lota liorlgan last week which without tbe X-ray would have necessitated a serious cur gical operation. A Great Thing for Crook County Secretary of the Interior Fish er stands ready to cooperate with the State of Oregon in mak ' Ing a co operative detailed survey of the Deschutes irrigation pro ject in Eastern Oregon, and so assured Joseph N. Teal and C. W. Hudson, of Portland, when they discussed its proposal with bim last week. Messrs. Teal and Hod son ex plained to the Secretary tbe plan to secure an appropriation of $50 000 from the Oregon Legislature at its session Ibis Winter, on con dition a like amount would be set aside by the Governmeut, it be ing estimated that a complete survey of the Deschutes psoject. embracing 200,000 acres or more would call for $100,000. "You do your part," said tbe Secretary, "and I'll attend to what must be done at this end of tbe line." After Mr. Teal and Mr.Uodson bad fully explained the scope of tbe proposed Deschutes project, shown Its possibilities and given consulted his mother before de livering the whiskey to C. E. Thompson, a street car man, but denied that it was about tbe whiskey. The jury laid stress upon the fact, that he would not deliver the liquor until after ho had consult d with bis mother. Mrs. Esteben. t was once arrested on the same rturge. After the trial at Vancouver one Christian Endeavor Convention Dec 14-15 The annual convention of the of the CrooK County Christian Endeavor jurors said: "It is not the boy we would like to punish, but we would like to punish his father and mother for driving bim to this. They are the ones wbo should be. punished." Jury in Horsestealing Case Sill Out The adjourned term of the dis trict court convened Monday .Judge Bradshaw presiding. The case to be tried was that of the State against William and V. M. Robertson of Lake county, charged with the larceny of a horse and mare belonging to Geo. Russell. The trial commenced Monday morning and at Wednesday noon was submitted to the jury. Up to the hour of going to press today the jury had not reported. It is thought if they do not soon reach an agree ment Judge Bradshaw will dismiss them and try the case again next May. The accused men were charged with shipping a carload of horses from Bend, August 10, and in the lot were the two belonging to Rus sell. The prosecution undertook to prove that nine were stolen out of the 26. The defense claimed that they an Idea of tbe extent of the, bought the horses from George scheme in contemplation, and had jKentner. The -feature of the case impressed upon the Secretary ! is the alleged running of an An- the fact that it was far too ex expensive to be undertaken by private enterprise; Mr. Fisher displayed great interest, and was quick to give prouiise of his co operation. The details of ar ranging the allotment of money from tbe reclamation fund for making this survey must be tak en up with the President, but! Portland men are satisfied that! as Soon as the state appropriates its share of the cost of the survey ! the Secretary will take the nec essary steps to secure an equal allotment from tho Fed era! funds. Mr. Teal and Mr. Hodson are highly pleased wite tbe result of the conference with Secretary Fisher, and think it lays tbe foundation for what promises to be the greatest single irrigation project In the United States!

A Rush for Homesteads A short time ago few applica tions were made for agricultural land inside the Deschutes Nation- al Forest near the head of the Metolius River. As scon as it became known that applications were being made there was quite a rush of parties after desirable homesteads with tbe result that during the past two weeks more than 50 quarter sections of land on the different streams near the head of the river have been ap plied for. This is all very desirable agricultural land with abundance of water for irrigation purposes. There is over two million' feet of good pine timber on all ot t' ese claims but those making appications for the land as houie- lhe Hotel raulina, under the'steads are confident that their management of Bruce Heisler and datms will be allowed as the land Ed Bell, is an O.
