Begin Argumemt
on Receivership.
Federal Juilure It. S. Bean hennl
the opeuliijr argument Tuesday In
the application lor a receiver for the
Deechutea Irrigation & Power Com
pany. Jesse Stearns, secretary ami
attorney of the cotnrany, appeared
for the defense, and - began the
presentation, with a history of tie
company, Its debts and troubles
uromlses and prospects. His first
affidavit In reply to.that filed by F.
H. Sink, asking lor a receiver, was
by F. S. Stanley, manager of the
company, who plainly stated that
the suit brought at this time is not
In good faith, but is Intended to
wreck the company and unhorse the
. present management, when there to
the first prospect of makiug some
thing out of the enterprise. Mr.
Stearns said that no complaint was
ever made during the days of de
pression and financial need of Mr.
Stanley's management. . It is only
when one, at least, and perhaps two,
" railways are assured the country
that Mr. Deshler and bis Ohio as
sociates hare discovered mismanage
ment. s
In the statement of indebtedness it
appears that there were issued $412,
000 first mortgage bonds. At a
later date there were Issued 1132,000
collateral trust bonds.. Deshler ad
vanced the company f'JO.OOO, and
Turney, another former director,
135,000. In addition to this indebt
edness, it is said that there is some
thing like $100,000 of. unsecured
claims, making the total obligations
of the company something more
than fTOO.OOO.
Water has been conducted to about
60,000 acres, of which 48,000 have been
sold. Lnder the present contract
with the state, which, enables the
construction company", to make a
charge of fJO an acre for more than
100,000 acres of the land segregated.
it is estimated that good profits will
be possible, because .there is sure to
be a keen demand for the land when
the railways get near.
In bis argument, Mr. Stearns said
that Mr. Deshler, the complainant
In the receivership suit, was a direc
tor of the company from 1904 until
August, 1908, and as such official,
approved the contract made with
Roscoe Howard, which is held up as
being the central point in the con
spiracy charge made by the bond
holders' Interests. Mr. Stearns said
he would produce affidavits showing
that the minutes of the meetings set
ting forth details of the contracts
were approved by Mr. IVtdiler and
his associates during all of the time
that there appeared to be certainty
of ultimate loss, and that the mis
management issue had uever iteen
rallied until the positive assurance of
a railway line had Uvn nceeptttl by
the public as guaranteeing to that
district j transportation. Telegram.

A Curious Fish.
There is a fish with four eyes along
the sandy shores of tropical American
seas. It is the anahleps and is unique
among vertebrates on account of the
division of .the cornea into upper and
lower' halves' by a dark horizontal
stripe and the development of two
pupils to each orbit , One pair of these
appears to be looking upward, the
other sidewise.

RAILROAD CAMP.
Continued from first pnge.
operating department every cour
tesy Is shown each other. Why, In
stead of holding back our freight. It
Is given the preference. When I made
that run with my outfit from Shanl-
ko to Trail Crowing In fifteen hours,
I got here lu the middle of the night
and the Hnrrliuan engineers I found
encamped at the Crossing got tip
and with lanterns lighted us up the
trade. They realised that we had
beaten them to It and like meu gave
us what aid they could. One hour
after our arrival we were breaking
rock. It was exhausting work, but
we got there. The river at this point
Is narrow and can be crossed tor less
expense than at any other point.
That stake over there," said Mr.
Wayment, "la a Harrlman stake,
and It is ust four Inches from the
center of our grade. We may have
a legal battle for this position, but
that will be the only kind."
' When asked bow long tt would
take to build Into lledmond, Mr,
Waytueut said he thought about
fourteen months. That Is, the di
vision between Madras and Red
mond. He thinks be can work all
winter, or not 1 delayed by the cold
weather longer than a few weeks.
As Mr. Wayment was about to
leave for Portland he was persuaded
to do so by way of rrlnevllle. This
would give him a chance to see the
country, see the best towu In Central
Oregon and meet its business men.
Mr. Wayment thought this a won
derfully productive country. The
alfalfa fields particularly attracted
bis attention. He was delighted
with Prineville and Its environment
and said that if could get a suitable
house he would move his family heri
tor the winter.
