SIIKEP LEAVING RANGES
Thousands of Head in Deschutes
Valley Are Peing Driven to
Various Destinations
Deschutes river for a distance of
forty miles above Deschutes pre
sents a busy appearance at this
time of t'to year with the many
thousand sheep which are passing
constantly for a period of three
weeks or a month durini( their
migration from ihe Cascade moun
tain ranges to Ihe different sections
of tl.e country where ihey are
owned.
During the past week ovei 1 5,000
head of sheep have passed tho big
Meadows on the Deschutes. In
cluded in this number are the Ma
lone sheep Irom Antelope, thosi
belonging to Tom Hamilton of
Ashwood, Frank Taylor's two
hands and the Wurzweiler it Thom
son band which will be taken to
the Sparks ranch on the Matoles.
Several other herds from the Heav
er ereeK district are on tneir way
across the desert.
The past season has seen some
early sirmvs on the Cascade moun
tains.. One in August and another
about the first of last month being
unusually heavy for that lime oi
year. No losses however have
been reporterf. The feed along
the Deschutes river is about an
average, although this side of Sil
ver Lake it has been eaten down
pr:tty close. Last week there
were lo bands nonh of tlct place
which were feeding on brush and
apparently doing very well.

If- f
Passed Away Wednesday at
His Home at Grizzly.
Ex-County Judge W. C, Willi
died Wedne-day morning at
o'clock, at the home of bis son Ed ,
Wills, of Grizzly, aged ft.', years.,
I'lK-cding his death was an illness !
of only a little more than a day, :
which makes the announcement (if j
his demise a particularly sad one j
for his many friends and relatives.
Only a week ago the Jmlge spent
a couple of days in the city and
while here seemed in bis usual
health and in more than his usual
happy frame of mind.
The deceased has been a resident
of Crook county for about 22 years,
during which time he has been an t
important factor in the county's!
political and business affairs. He
is served one term as county I
judge, ami his administration
-tiiiii)n-.l liitii as a man ol marked i
ability . He also served as a
menilsT of the State board ol
equalization, before the abar.doment
of that organization. During his
22 years -residence he has at all
times been more or less actively
engaged in the cattle business, and
to his efforts perhaps more than
any olher one man was due the
betterment of range and stock
conditions, and his work alone
this line will be far reaching.
Before coming to this county the
deceased was a resident of Dallas,
Pulk county, where lie was a recog
nized leading citizen, having serv
ed that community for a nom'ier
of years as the justice of the peace.
Shortly after settling in this
section tie lost his wife by death,
and he had made preperations for
his burial by her sidein the Dallas
cemetery. Thursday morning his
remains were taken there by rel
atives, and the burial will be under
the auspices of the Masonic Order
of which he was an honored mem
ber. Thus it is that Crook's old pio
neers pass away. While the de
ceased had his short comings, as
do alL his virtues were so many
that the former sank away in the
back ground, and Judge Wills'
death is a matter of universal regret.
He leaves three children to
mourn his loss: Mrs. L. H. Hamil
ton and Ed Wills of Willow Creek.
and one other son al Walla Walla
sons Are Interested Is Show
ing Up Good Ore Codies.
The vein ot ore which was re
cently struck in the Dixie Mead
ows mine lias proved to be of
greater dimensions than was at
first supposed. The Miner of
Prairie City quotes Mr. Charles
Thomas, ol the Fairbanks-Morso
Company which is installing a
new mill on this proerty, as fol
lows: It was thought that the vein
at the No. 2 level was fifty
feet wide, but when it was found
that what appeared to he the foot
wall averages fS.50, it was of
course concluded that the vein had
not been cross-cut. Its width is
not known, but is beyond fifty
feet.
Work is now going on at a raise
onnecting No. 2 with the No. 1
level. Seventy-five feet of the dis
tance has been traversed, and there
is another seventy-five feet .before
the raise is completed. From the
No. 1 level a raise was put in,
thirty feet which is in ore averag
ing f JO to the ton. At the point
on the No. 2 level where the vein
is being crosscut, 3"0 feet of' backs
will be provided.
The main object ol the company
now is to provide stuping ground
to supply the new mill, and it is
thought that the mill capacity of
100 tonB can easily be mined in
twenty-four hours.
The company is rapidly install
ing the machinery for the new
mill and it is the present intention
to have the plant in operation by
the middle of October. Four ore cars
have been ordered, which will car
ry the ore from the mine, a dist
ance of 2,oOO feet, to the mill, on
the tramway. The cars are of one
ton capacity. Mule power will be
used. An electric lighting plant is
to be installed, and all other
machinery necessary for carrying
on the work. The Dixie Meadows
is making an exceptionally good
showing."

Vandevert Brothers and George
llobbs Buy Large Tract of
Land at Powell Unites.
Hand in hand with the big cat
tle ranch O'Neil Bros, are getting
under way at the old Forest ranch,
comes another by the Vandevert
brothers and George Hcbbs at
Powell Buttes. The first of the
week S IO acres of land owned by
.1. N. Gulliford went into the
possesssion of the new firm, and this
together with the land already
held by the Vandevert's and the
acreaire leased from the road com
pa.A' raises their holdincs to 1"00
acres.
Aside from sowing some .'100
acres of land in wheat and rye
this fall, but little work will be
done. Il is the intention, however,
to put about 100 head of cattle,
owned by Walter and Dick Vande
vert, on Ihe ranch early in the
spring, and then raise a snllicieut
quantity of hay to feed a larger
herd of outsule cattle during the
winter months. A larger acreage
of wheat and rye would lie sown
this year ii it were not for the
scarcity and high price of both
grains. .
With the negotiations going on
now the ranch in the near future
will be increased some 400 acres.
George llobbs, who has licen over
seeing Dick Vandevert's ranch at
the Meadows, will take charge of
the property at Powell liuttrs. B.
F. Allen of this city will retain a
half interest he has held lor sever
al years in the property sold by J.
X. Gulliford to Vandevert Bioth-ers.
DESCHUTES TOWX GROWING
Townsite of Lytle Has Many New
Buildings and Real Estate Is
Finding a Ready Market.
Reimrts have it that the .town
site of Lytic, over on the-Deschutes
river, is showing some rapid a'd
vances. Town lots are being sokl
rapidly, several having been dis
wsed of this week, and eight new
buildings are under course of con
structian. The townsite. which lies about
one mile north of the De.-chutes
post-ollice, is the property of the
Columbia Southern company,
having been bought by the latter
from the Reid & Steidl Lumber
company. The lumber firm looks
after the local interests of the com
pany's property, and already has
the largest saw-mill in Crook
county on the townsite. It is
stated that several otlier business
firms are contemplating the erec
tion of buildings there either this
winter or early in the coming
spring.
J. L. McCulloch, a real estate
man of this city, has recently pur
chased property in the town die,
and is putting up an office there.
He has been handling some of the
town lots and says they are meet
ing a ready market.
Ol the three adjoining towns on
the Deschutes river Lytle, Bend,
and Deschutes the former appar
ently is gaining the prestige, al
though Di'schutes, which is somo
i what older and was the first to be
platted, has had a very substantial
growth. It is probable that in the
course of the next few years the
three little hamlets will be united
under one head.
