While the election - bf sheriff is
conceded to Frank Elkins this
morning, it will take the official
count of ballots beginning the last
of this week to decide the race be
tween the democratic and republi
can candidates, neither one of
whom at present is sure of his hold
on the county office.
The returns this morning show
ed only 10 votes difference in favor
of the Madras candidate, but two
democratic precincts in the east-
j ern part of the county are still to
be heard from and Stroud support
ers claim an error against him of
two votes in the Powell Buttes dis
trict. With these corrections made
and the final returns made known
i at the official count it is possible
j that the sheriff's office will con
tinue 'to be occupied by a demo
crat. The election of either one or
the other is not claimed by over
three votes, the hoodoo number
which has elected sheriffs in thin
county three times before.
With the sheriff's office in doubt,
the republicans elected only two
other officials, treasurer and com
missioner, and the county itself
gave Chamberlain a majority of
150 and Gearin for senator ran
only a few votes behind the govern
or. State returns from eight pre
cincts still to be heard from it is
thought will increase Chamber
lain's majority to 'J00 and Gearin
will follow a close second.
Warren Brown was elected on
the democratic ticket to the office
of clerk by a majority of 7.'5 (re
turns incomplete) and King has a
majority over M. II. Bell of prac
tically 200. Bayley, the republi
lan candidate for commissioner
has 200 votes to the good over La
follett and with several republican
precincts to be heard from this ma
jority will be largely increased."
Prohibition lost in all but one
precinct, Mill Creek, where the
licnl optionists carried by one vote.
The measure was defeated in Prine
ville by a vote of 1(51 to 51, and in
Kutcher by a vote of 119 to 82.

Unprecedented rain throughout
Crook county during the past two
weeks makes certain large crops
for the present season, besides as
suring bountiful supplies of range
grass for the stock. Grass is grow
ing where it has never grown be
fore, say the stockmen, and con
tinues to thrive and remain green
From every section of the ooun
ty farmers bring word of the
heavy rains which have thorough
ly soaked the ground and given
the grain and other crops a start
which no amount of hot weather
can check. The farming districts,
as a result, are rejoicing over the
good fortune which has been show
ered upon their communities.
Old settlers say that this is the
first time in years that so much
rain has fallen at this time of the
year. Late May and June rains
are especially desirable in this sec
tion of Eastern Oregon, but it is
extremely seldom that so ntneh
moisture falls as there has this
year. For the past three weeks
rain has fallen frequently and
several heavy rains have occurred
during that time. Especially in
the Agency Plains and Haystack
sections, where Crook county pro
duces its wheat, are the prospects
bright for a bumper crop this year.
Rains there, as in other districts,
have been general "ami heavy
enough to thoroughly soak the
ground.

INDICTED FOR
HORSESTEALING.
Without waiting to get together
the facts in the matter, or even to
post themselves on the most in
significant phases of Crook coun
ty's financial condition, a number
of tax pavers in western Crook
county last week filed a complaint
with Judge Pradshaw at The
Dalles against the county court
granting the wishes prayed for by
petitioners to build a iww court
house, and a temporary injunc
tion in consequence w:i issued.
This, however, ow ing to t ie absurd
statements wnicn are contained in
the complaint, together with the
misrepresentation of facts, will be
dissolved inside of the" next two
Weeks. In the meantime the coun
ty court is arranging for another
call for bidH. Those, offered the
court last Saturday by different
contractors in Portland and Salem
were rejected as being excessive,
and the plans will be altered,
without changing the general
scheme of the building, wo that the
cost will not. exceed $42,000.
The complaint, which is for the
most part a statement of things
unknown, alleges "that the plaint
iff cannot state exactly the amount
of money in the treasury of the
county, nor the amount of the ex
isting indebtedness, nor the cost of
construction of the proposed court
house," but the plaintiff feels pret
ty reasonably sure about some
other things and alleges further
"that the cost of construction will
greatly exceed the amount of
money in the treasury over and
above the present indebtedness in
a sum greatly in excess of $5000;
that said county has a good, sub
stantial, commodious, and conven
ient court house well adapted and
sufficient for the transaction of all
the business of the county."
There are other allegations con-

Considerable interest is mani
fested in Crook county over the
indictment of William Vinyard
and W. Z. Moss, two prominent
citizens of Lake county for horse
stealing.
It has been ascertained that
there is a well organized band of
horse and cattle thieves operating
in Crook, Lalte and Jlarney coun
ties, in Oregon, and Mod or; county,
in California, who have been steal
ing stock on a large scale during
the last year. It is known that
these thieves have parties station
ed in California and Nevada to re
ceive and dispose of the stock stol
en from the Oregon ranges.
This thieving has so incensed
the stockowners of Crook; Lake
and Harney counties that protec
tive organizations are being form
ed to guard the interests of the
stock industry. Summary meas
ures will be adopted to break up
this gang of thieves and land them
in the penitentiary.
The Hay Creek canyon road
around the Mc pherson hill, sur
veys for which were made a year
ago, will be built this season. The
county court has called for bids on
the const ruction of the highway
and these will be opened when the
court meets July 2, and the con
tract let.
'The road as surveyed has a total
length approximating four miles,
starting at tin' G. MePherson ranch
and continuing around the base of
the grade to the Dan Pierce proper
ly. 'The road is one which has
been needed for many years and
the final completion and use of it
will be of great benefit to those
who travel over that portion of the
public highway. Much time is al
ways lost, especially by the freight
ers, in making the ascent of Me
Pherson hill which is especially
treacherous during the winter
months.
'The county court has also con
tracted for the construction of
bridges across Crooked river, at
Forest, Wigle's and Post and a
bridge will also be completed
tnim..! in the eomi.lftint. but tliev ' w i now oreeit near Madras.
' ' J
have little or no bearing in the
tatter, with the possible exception
of one of the last which sets forth
that a new court house will "cast
unjust and unreasonable burdens
of taxation upon the plasntiff and
all other tax payers in said county."
Attorney Elliott, who is hand
ling the case for the county court,
stated yesterday that the allega
tions were so contrary to the facts
that there would ho no difficulty
in dissolving the injunction. In
the latter proceedings the facts re
garding both the petition and
financial condition of the county
will be set forth, supported by
what affidavits are necessarv show
ing that there is available in the
county treasury over $(57,000, niar-
ly three-fourths of which is ap
plicable to the building of a new
court house; that, the county has
no indebtedness; that the erection
of a new building will not increase
the levy of taxation; that there is
a sulticienl sum on hand for con
structing the new building and
that the county will not be thrown
into debt in violation of any stat
ute. 'The petition will also be ex
hibited showing that the petition
ers pay over hulf the taxes paid in
the county.
Charles S. I'.eusoii, of Bend, is
named iu the complaint the
plaintiff. The complaint was serv
ed on the indue and commission
ers several hours niter they had
finished their business last Satur
day and after they had rejected all
of the bids submitted.
Two New Forest Reserves.
Senator Fulton was notified that
the Forest Service contemplates
recommending the creation of two
new forest reserves in Southern
Oregon, at an early day to be
known as the Fremont and Goose
Lake reserves. They will embrace
land withdrawn several years ago
under the name of the Warner
Mountain withdrawal. The ag
gregate area, according to present
plans, will be nearly 3,000,000
acres, about two-thirds of the area
being in the rremont reserve.
'This reserve will lie in the north
ern part of Klamath and Lake
Counties and the southwest corner
of Crook County. 'The (loose Lake
reserve will embrace the southeast
portion of Klamath and the south
west part of Lake Counties,
Plans showing the outline of the
proposed reserves have been sub
mitted to. Mr. Fulton, with a re
ipiest that he make any suggestions
which be may deem proper. The
Senator will consult residents of
Klamath, Like and Crook Coun
ties and promptly lay their views
la-tore trie department. It good
reasons are produced, showing why
any land included within the pr
posed reserves should not be re
served it is probable that such
land will be eliminated.
'The irregularity of the outline
of these two reserves, following in
many instances quarter section
lines, indicates the care that has
been exercised to include only
Mich land as is believed to In
adapted to forestry purposes,.
