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.

Bishop Paddock's
Prineville Visit
Rl. Rev. Robert L. 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.

Uncle Sam Will
Hunt Down Varmints
Skilled hunters in the employ of
the United States government are
soon to Win a war on the
predatory animals which range in
the National Forest reserve, work
ing in connection with the forestry
service and hunters employed by
the Wool (i rowers associations of
Oregon and Washington. 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

believe, although it is impossible
to say just how much time this
work will require.
"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.
