shall be published at the expense of
county, and the Comity clerk shall
furnish such paper selected a copy of
the proceedings and u I at of the
claims."
The Journal was the only paper,
filing a list with the court.
A Remarkable River.
There is a phenomena connected
with the flow of the Deschutes riv
er which cannot perhaps be said
of any other stream in the
world. At Bend, Mr. Weist,
civil "engineer of the Pilot
Butte Development Company
finds the minimum amount of
water in the Deschutes to be 3000
cubic feet per second, and the
maximum to be 3"00. At a point
16 miles above Bend he finds the
minimum to be 4500 cubic feet per
second while the maximum has
never been menxureii, but the
raise is about 10 feet t the high
est stngo of tho water the figures
would bo considerably lnrgor
for tho maximum. The de
crease of tho maximum hy
15M cuhio foot in a How of 16
miles is the peculiar part of it and
is accounted for neither by evapor
ation or absorption, but is said to
bo duo to tho fact that tho Pes
chutes flows through about 6(1
miles of lava beds. These beds
are full of caves, and theso caves
from an underground channel,
which is said to have its
outlet near the mouth of
Crooked rivur. At certain times ol
tho year, when the water is high
est, Mr. Weist says that the under
ground channel must conduct in
the neighborhood of one half the
volume of water which goes to
form one of the prettiest - and
purest streams in tho world the
Deschutes.
Experience kexlul.
Tho ladies of the M. E. church
gave an "Experience Social" at
their place of worslrip last Friday
evening which was unique and in
teresting, and which netted quite n
neat sum, for the purpose intend
edthat of helping to defray the
expense of furnishing the new M.
E. parsonage. From tho experi
ences related by them, it was
shown that they had lain aside
their household care9 to take up
many different occupations, in or
der to raise their dollar, or more, if
they could. Somo of the ladies
infringed upon the barber's and
tailor's trades, while one testified
that she had performed tho duties
of a chiropodist in order to secure
her dollar. The exneriences were
many and amusing and after they
had been given, ice cream, coffee
and cake were served. The even
ing netted $100.50. Elsewhere in
this issue will be found Mrs.
Clark's acknowledgement.
