If they are not sullicienlly satisfied with the prospecls to buy the properly, development work will lie carried through the hsaltic for- j mation at the end of the. tunnel in an effort lo strike the main ore body. This is the same formation which confronted tho miners in in the TillDtfim-Cram tunnels he fore they reached their main body of cinnabar and it is believed that ondilions lemain the same in the Hernoia mine. If the vein is not struck when thi wall has been torn down then the property will in all probability be bonded and a new tunnel begun at a lower point on the ridge.

There ha been some doubt ex pressed as lo the purpose of the owners ol the .Suinpter Valley to I build through lo Unrns, but this doubt has recently been dispelled by the punitive statement of Mr. David, one of the principal owner of the mail, who said that it was the intention to extend the road through to the Harney country.

" A Mi'l,il meeting ol the state land hoard has apportioned the ijcscnuivs irrigation and t'ower comnanv 8 lien for irrigation of the Hums extension would lie com- j n,e si,0()0 acres of land lying pleted. The road was extended j un,l,.r jts ditches in Crook count v'. bout ten miles last year frnm.'o Thin ..,ni. ,.r.i.i;,..li,i i appraising the land. The rush of seekers has begun. About 12,000 applications for the land have been made through the company this week, by actual settlers, and they are as a rule taking UK) acres. A giKid class of citizens are making application, and the tendency is to select the liest land in 'the tract, says the Journal. . The manner in which these lands are thrown open to the public is controlled by the state law. This tract of 84,700 acres lying between the Deschutes and Crooked rivers, which has been placed under irrigation by the Deschutes Irrigation and Power company, was arid government land and regarded as practically of no value. According to law the state may place a lien upon it in favor of a company that will establish an effective irrigation system. The settler may then ac quire the land from the state by paving to the irrigation company the amount sjiecified as the pro portionate cost of the irrigation plant. Thereafter the land owner company Whitney, all but a few finishing touches, which the contractor is now busily engaged ill completing. A large force of men has been engaged and a call is out for men to work as graders than ib neces sary to linish up last year's work, so that it is positively known that the work of extending the road is to lie pii.-hed this season. Il will nifuire about two years to complete the extension to Hums, if the work is pushed as fast as possible this season.

A N., thinks better prices for both sheep and cattle will pre- The .vail later in the season, and ex- will run regardless of 1 necls a moie lively movement of em or central states, because of their isolation from the great mar ket centers. I'lt happens that the surplus for the past few years lias been held on the ranges, which cause only a temporary congestion. The coun try is gradually adjusting itself to the condition, and there must lie a movement of stock to supply the increasing demand. This slug gishness of the market is not a permanent thing. History repeat itself in the: sheep and cattle mar kets as in the political and finan cial history of the county. "People declined to shipout their surplus last year and the result is that the ranges are overcrowded and. the country filled up with sheep that cannot lie handled at a profit by the buyers. The fact that all the country between this and the Misotiri river has a sur plus of sheep now does not pre sage a permanent sluggishness of the market. "As the eastern surplus, nearest the great markets is gradually turned off, the movement will gradually extend to the far west and the surplus, it is hoped, will be marketed later at better prices : than arc now offered. "Even then the prices may not be what are considered good prices, but everything points to better prices." CASEY LOSES ROAD CASE.

Casey which was tried last fall before Judge Bradsliaw and appealed, that the Willamette VaUev Sc. Cascade has legal title to the promrtv'at Powell Buttes occupied by Mr. Casey and over whose possession the suit was instituted. The opinion as handed down by Justice Wolverton is as follows: This was an action of ejectment to try the title to real property. The plaintiff claimed through the Covornment and the Willamette Valley A Cascade Mountain Com pany. The defendant claimed by adverse possession. The decision of the lower Court was in favor of plaintiff; and sustaining this judgment the Supreme Court holds that where land has been deeded to a trustee with the proviso that lie shall convey it only at such time and to such iiersons as the cestui que trustent shall designate, a good title is acquired if the trustee and the cestui que trustent execute separated deeds conveying their interests to the same person. It is also held that although the grantee of the' conveyances failed to introduce evidence oi the corpo rate existence of the Willamette Valley A' Cascade Mountain Wagod Road Company, the fact that the patent shows that the Legislature recognized its corpo rate existence and the company assumed to convey the land in the capacity of a body corporate arc enough prima facie, at least, to establish its legal entity as a corpiration. !1 I With the Finest Wiii be in Prineville Of The Dalles, Oregon.
