REPUBLICANS GAIN
Kutcher Leads in Registration with
Over 66 Per Cent of the Voters
in Republican Ranks
"
Democrats who receive the nom
inations to the various county
ollices this year, will have a
harder row to hoe than in pre
vious, years. Last week only
about one-third of the total num
ber of voters in the county were
registered and out of this nvmher
the Republicans held a majority of
nearly 65 per cent. This propor
tion, 'however, will drop off consid
erably by the time the balance of
the voters are registered, but the
Republican majority will still be
heavy.
It is generally conceded that
the new votes from the newly set
tled districts will show up strongly
this year in fa vor of the Republi
can party, a fact which will make
Democratic success a ditlicult
one unless the Republican "lead
can be overcome. If the latter
party puts a strong ticket in the
field, and indications point to
that end, it is not going to he an
easy task for a Democratic candi
date to overcome the Republican
majority ' against him besides
holding his own in the Democratic
party ranks. Prophesying at this
time, however, is only poor guess
ing. Strange things have hap
pened in Crook county at the
crucial moment and it is not with
out the bounds of possibilities
that other strange political phan
tasms will be in evidence this year
even with the Republican?, far in
the lead when the registration
books close.
Kutcher at present leads in the
number of registered voters. This
morning the total number on the
clerk's books in that precinct num
bered ISO. i Prinevillo conies sec
ond with fi2, Black Butte with a
total of 7'.); Lamonta is fourth
with 72, and Laidlaw holds fifth
place with U4.
Out of the 557 voters registered
in these five precincts the Repub
licans number 319 and the Demo
crats 1X5, giving the former a
majority of 1:14. Kutcher not
only leads in the number of
voters registered, hut also shows
the largest Republican majority of
any of the precincts in proportion
to the registration. Of the 1X0
voters there, 120 of them are Re
publicans; the Democrats number
33. the balance being afliliated
with other parties.

sections of land under the canal.
Kight f these ure selections made
under the Carey act when the
company was first organized, the
balance belonging to those inter
ested in the project and which
were taken up as homesteads and
desert claims. The company w ill
make application this year for
patent to the Carey selections and
also for patent to the desert land
claims held by the individual
stock holders. It is not expected
that any delay will be incurred in
the issuing of the final papers by
the Interior department, as pat
ents are as a ride issued on Carey
act segregations as soon as the
water is available.
The Deschutes Reclamation
Company is the pioneer among
those operating along the Deschu

mendable enterprise. The com

settlement in that recion and
when lumber had to be hauled 25

A proclamation was signed by
president Roosevelt last Saturday
making permanent the Blue
Mountain Forest Reserve, embrac
ing a total area of 2,627,270 square
miles, a large portion lying in the
eastern part of Crook county.
The permanent reserve follows
closely the lines of the temporary
withdrawal made three years ago.
Something over 500,000 acres in
cluded then have been loft out of
the permanent reserve in order to
make the total acreage a compact
forest district. School lands and
private holdings around the bor
der of the withdrawal have been
left out. These deductions make
the difference in area between the
temporary withdrawal and the
permanent reserve, the former
embracing an acreage of over three
million square miles.
A forest supervisor will be ap
pointed soon to take charge of the
reserve and a full force of forest
rangers will he employed by the
government, (razing in the new
reserve will be under the same
rules and regulations and subject
which 1 1 tK. Hani(. restrictions as those
in vogue in the Cascade mountains.
Practically all the opposition
which was at one time launched
against the creation of a perma
nent reserve in the Blue Mountains
has died out, and during recent
months stock associations in the
various counties tributary to the
reserve have taken steps Jowards
getting the interior to take defi
nite, action in creating the reserve.
It is said that this has had much
to do towards bringing about
speedy action on the. part of the
Washington officials.

Canal Line of Deschutes Reclama
tion Co. Will Be Finished Soon
Construction work on the ditches
of the Deschutes Reclamation
Company, a private enterprise
which is reclaiming the lands of
its stock holders a few miles north
of Bend, will be completed this
spring. The company had arran
ged to begin its final work the 15th
of this mouth, but the had weather
will probably delay matters until
the first of April.
The terminus at present of the
main canal line is near the west
ern end of Long Butte, some eight
miles north of Bend. This canal
will be swung around the butte a
distance of two miles before it is
finally constructed to a canyon
leading back into the Deschutes
where the surplus water will find
ar; outlet. This is all the work
that remains to be done before the
project, which was started about
six years ago, is completed,
i Altogether there are 14 quarter
Over 30 for State and District Jobs.
FOUR WANT OFFICE
New U. S. Commissioner Will Be
Appointed for Crook County
A new U. S. Commissioner, to
fill the vacancy left by J. M. Law
rence, now of the Koseburg land
office, will be appointed for Crook
county some time before the first
of April. Judge Wolvertou has
given out that only one appoint
ment will be mailc and this has
led to considerable speculation
regarding the appointee and the
location owing to the fact that
there is a large acreage of the
public domain in the western part
of the county still open to settle
ment. The major portion of this
lies in the vicinity of Redmond
and if this is to be taken as a fac
tor the appointment will probably
go to the latter place.
Four applications are on file at
present with the federal judge for
the position. Two of these come
from Rend, one from Laidlaw and
II. F. Jones has filed the fourth
from Redmond. With the latter
receiving the appointment there
will be but two other officers in
the county before whom land
business can he transacted Com-
I missioner Rea at Madras and!
County Clerk Smith. The opinion
is expressed generally that one
new appointment is not enough,
and that owing to the immense
territory to be covered there
should be at least two new com
missioners. This, however, is not
likely to lie the case.
Following are the candidates
who have filed their petitions with
the secretary of state for the var
ious state and district offices:

Ball Fans Will Soon Be Rooting.
Local baseball fans will have an
opportunity before long to give
vent to their enthusiasm. It is
probable that three teams will be
on the diamond in the county thi
year and match games between
them will begin as soon as the
warm weather commences.
Laidlaw is already getting in
shape to go after the county
championship. They have a col
lege pitcher out there and a good
line"" up of basel'all players. A
challenge wil! be sent to Sisters
soon, the winning team playing
with Prineville.
Andrew Larson, who has made
things interesting in baseball
circles before, is at his home again
in the Madras country, and will
no doubt be training hia pitching
arm tins month for the onenintr
game which the local club fill
endeavor to arrange with the
Madras team.
Last year the baseball season
opened early in March, but the
present condition of the weather
is such that there iB little danger
of any local games being played
before April and perhaps well
along in that month.
