liordered on the east by Moses
lake, on the west by the Columbia
river and on the south by Crab
creek and on the north by the
Great Northern railroad, in which
there are something like 18,000
wild horses," said Mr. Parker.
"The area of this tract is about 40
miles square, containini; over
1,000,000, acres of land that is
principally sage brush, with here
and there low lying sand hills.
The horses are of the class known
as mustang ponies. They have
been put in that country during
the past .'!() years by horsemen
from all portions of the west, w ho
wanted range for their herds.
"The round up will" start from
Euphrata, and take a course east
ward, circling around Moses lake.
The line of horsemen will there
gradually spread out, proceeding
southward to Crab creek. When
the line of cowbovs bus been
stretched from Kuphrata to the
creek it will begin to advance
across the counUy to the Colum
bia river. Immense corrals will
be prepared in the vicinity of
Kuphrata, into which the ponies
will be driven. Many of the hor
ses are branded with the marks of
their owners, but there are thou
sands and thousands representing
the natural increase of the herds
that have not been branded, and
are as wild as horses ever get.
These unbranded ones will be
divided among the members of the
expedition." Journal.

number of voters in this city failed
to register, and perhaps an equal

At a meeting of the State Land
Board, held Tuesday afternoon, J.
C. Turney, president of the Des
chutes Irrigation A Power Com
pany, was present, asking deeds
from the Btate to certain tracts of
land which the company claims to
have provided with the irrigation
facilities prescribed by the law as
a condition precedent to the pass
ing of title. These deeds are
issued directly to the settlers to
whom the irrigating company has
sold them under contract. The
lands for which patents are de
manded are in the old 'Pilot Butte
Company's segregation, now
owned by the Deschutes Company.
The Deschutes Com puny is also
asking the hoard to enter into a
contract with them for the disposal
of two other segregations, oli.OOO
acres of the Oregon Irrigation
Company, of which the Deschutes
Company is the successor in inter
est, and 7i,0)0 acres of the latter
company's own segregation. It is
necessary, under the law', that
these contracts Ik- made within six
months from (he time of scureua-
t i'ti , and, the time being'- almost
expired, the company wishes to
protect its rights.
The hoard withheld its signature
from the proposed contract only
because it has instructed the
Attorney-General U formicate an
entirely new form of contract, and
when this is prepared it will he
submitted to the company in due
form.
BAYLEY IS GAINING
Injured in Runaway.
Fred Urimes was seriously in
jured yesterday afternoon al bin
father's ranch, five miles west of
this city, by 1-ing kicked in tb
breast by a horse he wan attempt
ing to ride. His breast bone Wis
broken and several of the ribs were
torn loose from the ligaments.
Mr. Grimes parents found him
lying on the bfd unconscious whn
they returned to the house late in
the afternoon, ami when he re
gained his senses he could tell
little of what had happened.
From an examination of the barn
yard and field adjoining, whero
evidences of the accident wer
plentiful, the details were learned.
Mr. Crimes rcmemliera the horse
wheeling on him suddenly when
he rose to the saddle. The rider
was thrown to the ground, the
horse kicking him with both hind
teet. After that Mr. Grimen doe
not recall what happened, but h
was dragged for a distance of near
ly a quarter of a mile across the
open tield, one foot fastened in the
stirrup. How he reached the
iiouse afterwards he does not know.
Dr. Edwards was summoned
from Prineville and set the broken
bone and dressed the other wounds
which, had been inflicted. The
injured man will be nearly help
less for several weeks as the result
of the accident which is caueitnr

'"There is
a section of country
lie arranged for
who are campaigning this year.
R. II. Bnyley, Republican can
didate for the nomination for
commissioner, was over from Laid
law several days during the past
week making the acquaintance of
the voters in this vicinity. Sat
urday he spent the day in the
different voting precincts up the
Oehoeo where a hearty support has
been assured him.
M r. Bayley considerably
strengtheded his candidacy while
here and the solid - support of the
northern and western portions of
the county make his nomination
certain. Mr. Bayley proved him
self while here to he a man of
sound business judgment whose
interests arc located solely in
Crook county and in portion of it
which is developing more rapidly
than any other. When asked re
garding the platform he stood on,
Mr. Bayley said:
"If nominated and elected com
missioner on the Republican ticket
I shall work as industriously to
further the interests of one section
of the county as I do that of
another. Western Crook county
froiii the northern to the southern
boundaries needs attention and
representation in the county
court. Its i.tpid settlement and
development gives rise to public
business affairs which demand
personal guidance in the county's
court, but I should not consider j hter, Mrs. ( irace Krebs,

Crook county this year will have
an opportunity to appreciate the
good qualities of its former fruit
crops, for the reason that the crop
this year will be most noticeable
by its abtence.
Practically all the tender variet
ies of fruit at the Cowles ranch and
throughout the lower country
were damaged by the late and
heavy frosts of last month, and
Wm. lioegli, who owns the Cove
ranch, which has been the heavi
est producer of fruit in the county,
stated yesterday that the heavy
frost last month decorated all the
peach blossoms with crepe. The
buds were frozen back to the twigs
and the crop will prove an entire
failure. The apricots fared in a
similar manner, but some of the
crop will he saved. The cherries
and less lender varieties of fruit
all felt the biting frost and the
output will suffer in consequence.
Mr. Boegli will be the largest
producer of tomatoes in the county
this year, having over MM) plant
ready to )ie set.
Petition Is Returned.
A petition which was forwarded
to Washington a short time ago
asking that a new postoll'tce under
the name of Powell Buttes be
created, was returned to the peti
tioners, the department taking
exception to the length of the
name and asking that a shorter
out! be substituted. The petition
went forward again last Saturday
and if the recommendations mhde
therein are followed by the postal
authorities Ruth will be the name
of Crook county's newest ollice.
M. N'iswonger, who until recently
had charge of Hobbs station, is
recommended for the postmaster
ship. The new otlice when created
will serve a large number of resi
dents of that vicinity, a section
which two or three years ago was
almost devoid of settlement.
