HILL AFTER THE
DESCHUTES ROUTE
Bethel sad1 Nelsoa Gettiof Busy
at the Mouth of the River
SURVEYORS NOW AT WORK
Thought That James J. Hill
Will Construct Road Across
Oregon and on South
Good news for the people of
interior Oregon comes today in a
dispatch from The Dalles to the
effect that the presence there of
N. W. Bethel, locating engineer of
the Hill lines, simultaneously with
W. F. Nelson, of Seattle, promoter
and principal owner of the Oregon
Trunk railroad, augurs the speedy
construction of a railway up the
Deschutes valley from the Colum
bia, where it would connect by
bridge across the big river with the
new North Bank line.
Foundation for the surmise lies
in the memorable speech made by
James J. Kill at a banquet held in
Portland three years ago, when he
said that after the completion of
the North Bank railroad he might
have something interesting to say
to the people of central Oregon in
the matter of development and of
transportation. Secondary verifi
cation for the report is had in the
presence of a crew of surveyors who
have been working up the valley
of the Deschutes from the Columbia.
The Oregon Trunk railroad, if
built, will form a Great Northern
feeder through the heart of Oregon
to California, affording Mr. Hill
at one and the same time a chance
to compete with the Harriman
system and giving him an outlet
to San Francisco and the south.

COUGAR KILLING
MILLICAN'S COLTS
E. G. Hodson and J. E. Roberts
went by auto to Millican's ranch
above Bend Saturday and while
there hunted a cougar which has
slain a dozen or more colts and
other domestic animals in and
about Pine mountain. The tracks
of the beast could be easily traced
in places, but neither "hide nor
hair" of him could be seen, so he is
still at large.
This particular cougar has for
long time made life miserable for
the ranchers and stockmen of the
vicinity and efforts have before
now been made to track him down
and shoot him. His lair, even, has
been discovered, but it evidently
was one of several dens, as the
cougar refrained from returning to
it while the huntsmen were watch
ing for him.
Although Messrs. Hodson and
Roberts failed to find the animal
another effort will shortlv be made
to run him down and kill him.

Ben Gotter of Redmond and
Arthur Kelly of Post are rapidly
completing the building of the new
schoolhouse at Paulina, and it will
be open when the classes meet in
September. The building is to
cost about $1,900. It contains two
spacious rooms, a wide vestibule,
two cloakrooms and a belfry. The
Bchool compares favorably with
any in the county. No teacher has
been engaged yet for the 50 chil
dren who will attend. Last year
owing to inadequate facilities, only
30 pupils could be accomodated
and neither the eighth nor ninth
grades were taught.
Anyone who desires to see Crook
county at its best, barring summer
heat, should go out into the rural
districts of this great county dur
ing August, hot as it is, and take a
look at the fields awave with ripen
ing grain wheat, rye and oats,
and get a whiff of the perfume of
timothy and sweet clover that is in
the air.
During the past week it has been
the pleasure and privilege of the
Journals field representative to
penetrate that heft of Crook coun
ty's agricultural section the
Ochoco valley the journejbeing
made by bicycle in one day from'
the city of Prineville and back as
far up, almost, as the Ochoco
mines, well above Howard post
office, in the tall and majestic tim
ber of the Blue Mountain forest
reserve. It was a great trip to a
lover of nature and for one who
admires the fruits of man wrung
with perseverance from the soil.
In many places along the road
side, and in adjacent fields,
browsed mild-eyed, fat cattle, hap
py in their own animal content
ment for the ultimate benefit of
man. No half-starved beasts here,
nor ugly ones, for who animal or
man can be ugly or starved with
nature prolific to overflowing on
every hand. And alternating
between the pasture lands are
fields of grain, and harvesters
garnering the abundant hay on
every side; for the haying season is
at its apex this month up tbej fair
Ochoco.
lo the lover ot scenery tnere is
no fairer place in Crook county
than thi3 valley varying in width
down below from two miles to
narrow gorges in places above
And the waving grain plumes
make the -valley all the more
lovely.
Like you the true, pure life of
the country? Then visit the
Ochoco, for you haven't seen Crook
county until you go there.
A wild beast of terrifying pro
portions knd great destructive
powers is causing consternation
among all ranchers living between
Post and Pine creek, and ranchers
are afraid to let their smaller
children stray far from the house
even in broad daylight, though
thus far the animal has only com
mitted his depredations at night
D. Koopman alone has lost eleven
young calves, ten of them this
year, and other, ranchers report
the killing off ot calves, pigs and
chickens.
So bold is the bestial marauder
sometimes that he will slink up to
the porches of farm houses and
take therefrom cats and dogs lying
thereon. No dog has yet been
found brave enough or strong
enough to frighten the beast away,
and all dogs which have come to
close quarters have either been
killed outright or terribly mauled.
The presence of the wild animal
has been known for two years, but
only during the present summer
has he been feared. He does not
seem like a cougar; his traits indi
cate otherwise, for he will not tree,
keeps away from pens and traps
and never shows himself by day.
He has been seen at night, however,
but never within easy range, and is
of a tawny color. Ranchers are
inclined to think the animal is a
lion or tiger escaped from some
traveling show, and are preparing
to organize a hunt for him as soon
as harvest is over.

Building Stone Residence.
Thomas H. Brennan is building
a fine ranch home of native stone
on his place six miles east of
Paulina, on the Burns road. It
will be the finest ranch homestead
in Crook county when completed,
though not quite as large as a few
others of wood. The floor area is
36x38... Fourteen men are em
ployed by Mr. Brennan, both at
haying in the fields and at work
on the house. Although the fam
ily is one of the oldest in that sec
tion, they have always lived in a
little log house as in pioneer days,
so the change in accommodations
will be great.
