Represented By B. GORMLEY A Complete Line of Hats, Suits ready to wear at $10 and up Only Two Weeks Since Cir cuit Court Adjourned But Docket Is Rapid ly Filling. 1 With less than two weeks elapsed since the May term of the circuit court completed its work, there are already 14 criminal cases on the docket including one murder charge. Aside from the latter and four indictments returned by the grand jury, for which warrants were served at Bend, the balance of the case are prosecutions for horse and cattle stealing. A week ago there was consider able talk of holding an extra ses sion of the circuit court in June, but inasmuch as there are several warrants in larceny cases still to be served, it is not thought best to convene the court in extra session until the state has completed its labors in arresting all of those against whom charges of stock rustling have been preferred. In the event that Richard Roe and John Doe whose nan.eo now appear on several warrants, are gathered into the coils of the law within reasonable length of time, it probable, that circuit court will convene again before - the regular October term. Two of the men wanted in the stock cases are at present in other counties; one of them is serving time in the Fossil jail, and the other lies in Canyon City suffering from broken leg. The trial of Corbett Holt, the Indian who killed John Stakony, the Warm Springs chief of. police a week ago, is Jikely to bring out some interesting bits of testimony regarding the savage superstitions prevalent among the Warm Spring tribes and which it is stated are directly responsible for the bruta murder committed near Madras last week. Several years ago several child ren belonging to Pat, the chief of he Warm Springs, were attending the government school at the Agency. The confinement, in cident to the pursuit of their tudies, brought sickness .among the chief's family, and he employ an Indian medicine man last week, or merely a superstitious desire to put out of the way, as Pat had done, a man who could do nothing but bring him trouble and sorrow, are matters which will be brought out clearly in the trial. That he killed Stakony in the most brutal way is a revoltiog feature of the case, but the in stigating cause, so fraught with savage superstitions, is a matter likely to prove of interest, to those who hear the testimony. ed glacksmithing That Pleases Is The Kind You Get at- J.

D. I. & P. Co. IS HERE TO STAY TIGHTER LINES AROUND SCHOOL LANDS to effect a cure on one of his boys who waB dangerously ill.' "For several days the medicine man abored with his witchcraft in an effort to restore health to the dying Indian, but the boy finally died and the father, angered by the thoughts of the close school work which he said had taken bealth from one of his family, and the failure of the medicine man to keep life in the boy, killed the Indian practitioner. Then he took the rest of his children but of school. , Corbett Holt also has a large family of children. Not long ago all of them were learning American ways in the government school; but the close rooms, " Corbett thought, were detrimental to their bodily welfare. Being familiar with the fatal results in Pat's family he prepared to take his children out of the white man's keeping, and his superstitions were thoroughly aroused when several of his children died before he could take them back to the outdoor life and the wigwam. After that no reason that Uncle Sam's employes could give could change the plans of Holt. He took his family back to the tepee and for a time was happy Then the school authorities decid ed that Corbett's children must receive the education which makes them sturdy American men and women, and John Stakony, the Indian chief of police, was detailed to force Holt to brine his children back to the school. Whether it was altogether the murderous instincts aroused in the redskin's blood by a too fre duent use of whiskey at Madras The state land board issued the following orders this afternoon: It is ordered that in case of the tender of any payment of prin cipal or interest on any of the certificates included in the list alleged by the Marion county grand jury to . be issued upon fraudulent application, it shall not be accepted until ordered by the board at a regular meeting, and the clerk of the board and state land agent, as such tenders made, shall investigate and report to the board all information they can obtain relative to the applica tion on which such certificates were obtained and are now held or owned. It is ordered that hereafter no deeds shall be issued for any state lands except for farms acquired by foreclosure of mortgage, for which certificates have been issued, until the same are first submitted to and ordered issued by the board at a regular meeting, and that when applications are received for deeds by the clerk of the board he. together with the state land agent, shall make a thorough in vestigation and report in writing to the board at the succeeding meeting, all the facts and informa tion obtained, and whether or not the application is in accordance with the law and regular and proper in every way.' And it is further ordered that no certificates shall issue until the applications to purchase are pre sented to and approved by the board. The form of application in future was changed so that two witnesses must be required to attest to the signature of the applicant and the notary must certify that he personally rcauainted with the applicant and witnesses. The statement published that no certificates would be issued future unless the application was attested before the clerk of circuit court is false. The old rule this regard is unchanged.-Journa J. 0. Johnston Makes Em phatic Denial of Report of Intended Sale of the Deschutes Project J. O. Johnston, of the Deschutes rrigation and Power company who stopped in the city the last of the week while on his way to Bend, put a quietus on the rumors hich were circulated last week, SUMPTER VALLEY ROAD FILES ITS MAPS now trying to get their supply of wool for the manufacture of wool ens for the Fall and Winter trade. STUDENTS RECEIVE THEIRIDIPLOMAS Thirty-one students, who have completed their year's work in the eighth grade, were made happy Tuesday evening at the graduation exercises in Athletic hall at the conclusion of which their diplomas were presented. The exercises were appropriate to the occasion, the several num bers well rendered and thoroughly enjoyed by the audience which mainly through the Oregonian, crowded the hall. The opening that his company was entertaining selection was played by the band proposition to dispose of its project in this county. - "It is not an unusual rule," said Mr. Johnston, "for men who are financing a scheme of such pro portions as that in the Deschutes and after the first number Mrs. C.

According to" the plans presented, the terminus for the railway this season ia to be Huckleberry Flat, on the summit of Dixie mountain. That is about ten miles this Hide of the point where it has generally been con sidered that the end for tins year would be. In letting contracts it was understood . from outside parties that the work would ex tend only to the Middle Fork, and the news that there is to be a transportation line built - further into Grant county is. cheering intelligence to residents of the John Day valley. Should the apparent plans of the company materialize, and the road be built to the point designat ed in the maps, the question of freights would be greatly simpli fled. From the top of Dixie to the towns of John Day and Canyon City, the entire haul will be on down grade.- The company doing a good thing tor the com munity as well as for itself, every proper encou ragement should be offered them in the effort to bring decent transporta tion to one of the best valleys in the state of Oregon. VALLEY WOOL REACHES 27 CENTS IS was admirable, was a pleasing number on the program. The selection was rendered by the Misses Lora and; Nora Stearns. "Brier Rose" was the title of a humorous recitation by Miss Celia Nelms. Her rendition of the piece was beyond fault and its careful execution and the easy and grace ful manner in which it was given, together with the laughable cli maxes, I brought out continued applause. Miss Aletha Dillon's oration,'4"Nationalj Destiny," was a studiously prepared discourse on the past and future of the domestic and international relations of the . United States, and it was accord ed a reception worthy its excellent preparation and rendition. Fol lowing this number was a vocal solo "Meditation" by Miss Ceole Smith whose sweet and sympa thetic voice was tendered a due share of appreciation. . Edgar Barnes closed the evening's pro gram with an entertaining address, "The Last Battle," in which he' dealt with the minor conflicts of the Civil war after the surrender of Lee at Appomattox. The Rev. J. Anthony Mitchell delivered the class address, advis ing the graduates to make- the most of their educational hours. mind the fact that health was the fundamental basis of a successful career: and in evidence of the fact he gave some very apt illustrations, both humorous and pathetic. At the conclusion of his address, Mr. M. R. Elliott spoke briefly to the students in regard to the significance of the occasion and then while huge bouquets of car nations were being presented, the The Salem Woolen Mills Com- eiplomas were awarded.

Although this offer is from ion by the band. 1 to 1J cents in advance of the regular market quotation, there are few takers and very little of this year's product is changing hands.

It is true that we laid oft a force of men some time ago; but that was made necessary by the delay in the rock work near the end of the flume. Until that was finished it was necessary to haul water some twelve or fifteen miles onto the desert to the crew work ing on the ditch and we found it to be to our own interest to lay off the latter force until the rock work was completed and water flowing in the ditch as far as con struction of it permitted. The re port of a prospective sale may have gained ground by this action of ours, but it was nevertheless wholly without foundation. We have paid cash, and a lot of it, for everything as we went along and we expect to continue this course in the future until every detail of the reclamation work is completed There is a check ready and wait ing for anyone who is dissatisfied." Mr. Johnston said as soon the rock work neared completion an extra force of men would be ad ded to the present crew and the Central Oregon canal completed to the old river bed by the first of August. No effort will be spared to bring as much of the segregation an is rtnaftihla under the ditches this year. -'The great body of keePinS in land lying adjacent to Prineville will be the first to be reclaimed as a whole," he said, "and that can not but have a beneficial effect upon this city."
