No Identificaton for Ancient Skeleton Jesse Windom came in from his home r.car Culver Monday. He brought with hiru the skull of the skeleton unearthed t the foot of Grey Butte several days ago and turned it over to Dr. Chas S. Ed wards for examination, with a view to determining whether it was the skull of a white man or an Indian and how long it had been buried. Dr. Edwards says that to answer either of these questions would be only guess work, although the skull is evidently that of a very old man, the jaw teeth having Wen worn down to the roots, and indica tions point that it has been in the ground many years. The bones were found by Seth Crawford, who discovered the skull uncovered by a washout. Later other parties disinterred the other bones. Coroner J. A. McCall went to make an investigation and took G. Springer and Jesse Windom with him. They found the smaller bones mostly all decayed entirely. By measuring the bones of the leg they determined that the man had been 5 feet, 6 inches tall. The identity of the remains will perhaps forever remain a mystery. Within a short distance of where the skeleton was found is a spring, and it may have been that some time in the long ago early wan derers may had camped there and one of the party may have died from old age or illness, or possibly a tragedy may have been enacted, or it may be the remains of an old Indian. No one can tell. "The tribes that walk the earth are but a handful to those who Eiumber in her bosom." Jail For Women. In the basement of the new courthouse a room is being fitted up separate from the main county jail, to be used as the "skookum house" for women. The room is to be plastered and floored and fur nished as comfortably as possible under the restrictions of jail reg ulations. Passing through the room about eight feet from the floor is a large steam pipe, a part of the heating system of the build ing, and it has been suggested that this will be very handy for the inmates to hang themselves on, but it has been decided that this will not hurt anything, and as the pipe will warm the female jail, the arrangement will not be changed.

Paddock, missionary of the Episcopal diocese of Eastern Oregon arrived in Prine villa last Wednesday and that evening at the M. E. Church held Ash Wednesday services. On the following evening a public reception was given the bishop at the P. A. A C. rovus, which was largely attended. Miss Nellie Suoim.'rs and Mr. Harry Lanius each contributed a vocal solo, after which Bishop Paddock entertained the company with a talk on his travels in foreign countries. His descriptions of interesting points in Spain, Iuly, Egypt, Turkey and Russia de lighted his hearers, who were held at rapt attention during his entire discourse. A selection was ren dered by the orchestra. Every person present had the pleasure of meeting Bishop Paddock, and the reception was a delightful little informal affair. Lemonade was served in the library room. On Friday evening a short ser vice was held at the church pre vious to the declamation contest of the high school socities, and this service was also largely attended. Bishop Paddock has found a wel come in Prineville, and his future visits will be events to look for ward to. Big Clock Has Arrived. The big clock for the Crook County court house has arrived md has been hoisted into the tower of the new building prepara tory to being set up for operation The mechanism of the time piece does not appear to be very com plicated, but it looks like a fine piece of work. The work of plastering is pro gressing rapidly and the interior of the building is assuming a some what finished appearance, so that a general idea of the building can now be had. Five painters are employed in finishing the interior wood work, the window casings etc., are being installed. As many more car penters are also busy there, and these with the plastering crew make quite a little army at work. The debris from the stone work is being cleared out of the yard and everything begins to lo.jk as though the job is nearing completion. I aUra aHFIaWaMMIlB. in the Northwest. Cm O.I Ik.

Cougars, coyotes, timber wolves, wild cats and bears that have for so long slaughtered the sheep on the ranges are to be hunted down and killed. Congress has passed a bill appro priating money tor the purpose and the meeting of forestry officials now being held in Portland has resulted in the determination to make life miserable for the varmints. This system has been tried in California and there one hunter killed 11 bears. The slaughter of sheep has been found to materially decrease wherever the system has been tried. The average death rate in the Oregon flocks has been as high as 40 sheeb each year in herds of 2000 but it is hoped to materially decrease this proportion from this time on. No definite announcement is made concerning the number of hunters to be placed in the Des chutes National Forest. Super visor Ireland is now in Portland conferring with other officials and upon his return further informa tion will probably be obtainable The district to be covered by these hunters is to embrace all of the eastern Oregon and the Wenatchee and Weneha districts wherever grating is permitted. Eighth Grade Debates Principal E' L. Ashby of the Prineville schools . and Superin tendent Ford have conceived the idea of holding inter-eighth grade declamation contests and debates between the eighth grade pupils of Crook county schools and a dis cussion of the plan at the Madras meeting held recently developed the fact that all of the educators there heartily favor the plan. Superintendent Ford was author ized by that meeting to appoint a committee to draw up rules and by-laws for the government of these contests and he has named the following committee: Prof. E. L. Ashby, chairman, Prineville; Andrew Larsen, Madras, J. Alton Thompson, Laidlaw, and Miss Maude Vandervert, Bend. The effort to have anything of tb if nature this school year will not be attempted, as the time will be too short, but the plan is to take up this work next fall. These contests will be open only to eighth grade pupils of the Crook County schools. The county will be divided into convenient dis tricts and the winners in these con tests will meet for a final contest Hunter's Licenses Issued. Hunting licenses have been issued during the month of February to the following by County Clerk Brown: George Messiiiger, W. S. Andrews Robert Demaris, J. G. Cantrell, E G. Hodson, Marion Travis, J.

"Already we have secured the records of ownership to all land over which the road will be laid, and afler checking up these rec ords which will take but one or two days, our agents will take the field. When they complete their task the last preliminary step will have been taken. "At the time our men are busy getting rights of way we shall advertise for bids on the construc tion work. This will eliminate the delay that would be necessary for advertising and estimating if we waited until all rights of way were granttd. "Our representatives have been very busy at Washington for the past month and have been protest ing against further delay of the project by the Government. Wt asked that our maps either be ap proved or disapproved, and in re ply to this request we were assured that a decision would be soon reached. In fact, we had tele graphio advices from Washington today which led us to believe that Secretary Garfield was ready to approve the maps." Neilher Mr. O'Brien nor Mr. Cotton had anything to ray about the extension of the Shasta line from Klamath Falls on to Bend, to a connection with the Deschutes road, as outlined by the above dispatch. The Portland general oflice is concerned only with getting the line built from the Columbia to Bend, they said. The Deschutes line will be 130 miles in length. It is expected that its construction will occupy from one year to a year and a halt. Stallion for Sale. Five-vrar-oM Shire Stallion, whisht about 1S0U oiiqIi; pries, .). Addrvna 1-88 It. 1.
