L. Jamison. Machinery lias been installed for the milling of lump sulphur, making It unnecessary for farmers to purchase the rolled product at outsldo pornts. Lump sulphur brought by ship to Portland la available at a low price, and this is brought to Hond and put through tho company's rock crusher, reducing tho lumps to a size small enough to bo handled hy rollers Installed below tho crush er. Tho rollers are of. tho typo used In flour milling. Tho finely pulverized sulphur, sacked, can bo turned out at a price of 20 a ton lower than that paid when the finished product Is brought In from outside manufacturers or Importers, it is stated by C. II. Knowlcs, manager of tho pipe com pany, Tho local output will be In tho 'neighborhood of 10 tons dally, Knowlcs says. Sulphur finds Its chief uses in Cen tral Oregon as a fertilizer for al falfa lands, supplying sulphates In which the soil Is naturally deficient, nnd in tho mixing of sheep dip for the treatment of scab. For the lat ter purposo alone, 26 tons will be Knowles says. The venture Is not a commercial enterprise for the com pany, which is merely paid for tho uso of Its equipment. Direction of thn work Is expected to bo taken over shortly by the Farm bureau. KILL OFF POTENTIAL CARRIERS OF RABIES UhO of I'oUon Greatly lUilurcs Op portunity For Spread of DIs eiiMi Among Coyotes. Should rabies sprend from Hnrney and Grant counties where It Is re ported among tho coyotes, It will have llttlo opportunity of becoming a real innnace In Deschutes county, believes D. L. Jamison, county agent, Tho coyoto poisoning campaign put undor wny a few weeks ngo Is having oxcollont results, ho Is Informed from tho various localities whore tasteless strychulno has been set out, nud as u result tho chief carriers of tho disease will ho fow In number by tho tlmo rabies reaches this coun ty, ho predicts, Thoro U llttlo doubt, howover, Jamison said, that hydrophobia will bo communicated to animals In this county. BUSINESS MEN WILL ADVISE EX-SOLDIERS Appointment of n committee of Ilond business mou to inlvlso form er sorvico men Intending to locate hero ns to the. merit of contomplnted Investments was .authorized Sunday nt a mooting of tho executive com mittee of' Porcy A, Stovona Post No. 4, American Legion. Gomtnnnder Earl D. Houston, of the Post was named chairman, and will name hs associates. nttentlon, and ho Inquired as to its contents. "Nothing," replied tho suspect, then quickly seized tho sack and crashed It down against tho edge of tho car. Htokoe confiscated tho souked burlap and tho fragments of a gallon glass Jar which It con tained, and speeded In to Dend. Evaporation of the liquor was only partly completed by tho time ho reached tho sheriff's office, and with tho assistance of Shorlff Rob erts he squeezed enough moon shine from tho burlap to prevent Hookman from fighting tho case. ADVANCE SEEN IN HAY PRICE FOR NET FALL Higher prices for hay with a small er supply available for tho market and a greater inclination on the part of ranchers to feed during the win ter months were predicted for the next fall and winter season by An ton Aune, heavy purchaser of hay and grain, In an interview. Aune, who Is In close touch with farm conditions throughout the coun ty stated that the surplus left over from the 1920 crop is virtually wiped out, and that only a relatively small amount remains from the 1921 crop In Deschutes county. The severe winter, making the feeding season of' unusually long duration, the low hay prices making ranchers more willing to feed than Is ordinarily the case, and the inclin ation to finish a large proportion of stock for the market, the result of the financial depression, have com bined to mako heavy Inroads into the county's hay reserve, Aunn said. On the high desert the entire supply is practically gone. Little elsewhere will be left, he considers, with the ex ception of that in tho Powell Butte and Sisters sections. Shipments Good Shipments, too, have been heavier than had been expected last fall, largely through the work of the Hay Growers' association in finding a market for Central Oregon hay at a price which enabled farmers to sell for outside consumption and still avoid a loss. Reflecting tho unexpected demand of the winter and the consequent ap proach to a shortage In producing centers, a stronger market Is being noted, and ranchers who still have hay for salo are asking up to $12 a ton for alfalfa in the stack. EXPECTS HIGH BOND PRICES There will be no difficulty in mar keting the Central Oregon Irrigation district's recently voted bond Issue of $1S0,000, according to n state ment given out by II. H. DoArmoud, attorney for tho district, following his return from Portland whoro ho spent several days Interviewing bond buyers. Much Interest Is being shown in the Isauo, Do Armcmd said, because of the small umount of bo sold In comparison with the large valuation which tho district represents, and tho fact that the district already pos sosses a largo well developed system. Tho bonds will go over 90, the usual prlco paid for Irrigation district se curities, Do Armond said. Illda which have beon called will bo opened nt 2 o'clock In the nfter noon of April 11, In Redmond. Proceeds from tho sale of tho dis trict's securities will finance a gon oral overhauling of the system and the rebuilding of the C. O. I. wooden flume south of Bend.

On March 27 and 28, examinations for forest assistant will be held, K. K. K. OFFICIAL LOSESWARRANT IN MULTNOMAH STARR NOT DEPUTY OF SHERIFF HURLBURT NO STATE AUTHORITY Veiled Hircut of Loii of Ituslncu Made In Kndenvor To Hecuro Ilond Man's Application Iteportcil Member Denies Connection. That C. C. Starr, who has been so liciting members for the Ku Kluz Klan in Bend and other parts of Cen tral Oregon Is not a Multnomah county deputy sheriff Is stated In a letter received by The Bulletin from the office of Sheriff T. M. Hurt burt in Portland. The letter was In reply to an Inquiry as to Starr's official connection, following his statement given in an inter view that he was Mult nomah county deputy. Starr had al so said in the same interview that on his return to Bend he expected to be armed with authority as a state officer to look into local violations of tho narcotics laws, but a letter from the offlco of Governor Olcott states that Starr is not employed la this capacity and that there Is no In tention of giving him any such of ficial rating. The letter from Sheriff Hurlburt's office. Is signed by Martin T. Pratt, chief deputy. "Replying to your let ter of tho 7th inst., making inquiry regarding one C. C. Starr, beg to advise that Starr was formerly a de puty sheriff: that is he was a special deputy sheriff at tho request of the Odd Fellows Lodge," Pratt writes. "However, his commission has since been revoked." Boycott Hint Given In the Interview given Starr had stated In denying rumors that he was anti-narcotic agent sent out by the governor that he would lose no time in reporting any viola tions which should come under his notice, adding that he had authority from the sheriff of Multnomah coun ty. Asked as to the exact nature of this authority, he said that ho was a Multnomah deputy. Veiled threats that failure to Join the order would result In loss of trade were used by Starr In at least one Instance In his campaign for new members for the Ku KIux Klan, a prominent Bend business man re vealed this morning. Solicited to present bis application to tho Klan, and refusing on the ground that ho would bo unwilling to Join without knowing more definitely regarding; the actual work of the organization, the Bend man was Informed that the Klan will shortly put out a book containing the names of all mem bers, and that thoso whose names do not appear will pot be patronised by members. A flat refusal to con sider Joining the K.K.IC followed this argument. Alleged Member Dc-nlcn James H. Fisher In a recent Inter view with Starr was told that nearly all American Legion men hero bo long to the mystic order, and was given the name of one man whom Starr said held membership. The al leged member denied unqualifiedly any connection with the Klan when directly questioned, Fisher said.
