In a Jlrty. Trice, too, must lie con
sidered very low to Judge from the

AVI thin the ptist week S77.M0 has
len paid tor three ranches alone
The first on the lift Is the C Sam
Smith ylaee up the (Xlioco. This
was Bold to George Russell, the Ta
coma horse buyer, tor 155,000. The
ranch Is a big one. It contains
practically $200 acre. There are
3200 acres ol deeded land and 5000
acres ot leased road land. Ot the
deeded land at least 600 acres can lie
sown to alfalfa. Mr. Smith now
harvests about tiOO tonsyearly. The
rest is pasture. All machinery and
farm implements, as well as 125 head
of cattle and 45 bead of horses, etc..
are liu-ludeii In the transfer.
Mr. Kussell, the fortunate buyer. Is
an experienced horseman, lie has
been running horws on the range in
this country for the past eight or
nine years, and brings him a large
experience in the business which will
engage his attention np the Ocboco.
14 r. Knssell will make a stock ranch
out of the place. More land will be
pnt In alfalfa and be will continue
to boy cattle and raise horevs on a
large scale. Ills family will not
move here from Tacoina until the
Bummer months.
Mr. Smith does not Intend to leave
the county. He has alsout 500 acres
of land left and will move thereon In
the near future.
Will Wuriwoik-r sold his ranch on
Crooked Kiver, commonly called the
Whltsett place, to Frank Cos,
Wednesday, the consideration being
111,000. This place, when fully de
veloped, will have about 140 acres of
alfalfa.
J. O. Powell sold 200 acres from his
farm east ot town the first of the
week to M. D. Powell, consideration
$11,500.

leen a few cases In the county, the
worst being that ot Ike Ward, who
came nearly losing bis life.
Dr. Rosenberg, who has charge
of the case, says that In certain
parts of the Rocky Mountain region
occurs a disease known as Rocky
Mountain or spotted fever. The
dioe&se prevails only In certain lo
calities within a circumscribed area.
There are only six states within this
area. Oregon Is one ol them, es
pecially the extreme Eastern part of
the state along the Snake river.
Harney county has had a few cases
and so has Crook.
The doctor says that the most
characteristic symptoms of the dis
ease Is a generalised macular erup
tion which, together with the ac
companying fever, gives rise to the
name "spotted fever." In a typical
case, the eruption first makes lu ap
pearance on the wrists, ankles and
forehead. In the beginning the spots
are bright red In color and disappear
on pressure, quickly reappearing.
As the disease progresses changes
follow each other throughout the
different stages.
The disease Is caused by the Injec
tion of poison Into the system. Sage

people are suliject to the Infection

St- Patrick's Day was appropri
ated celebrated by the Sbu-ml-a
Club Friday evening, March IS, at
the home of Mrs. M. E. Brink.
The rooms were uniquely decor
ated with green festoons and sham
rocks and the proverbial "snakes"
and "Irish potatoes."
The evening opened w 1th a short
program, the first number being a
vocal solo, "Kathleen Mavourneen"
sung by Miss Catherine V. Conway?
Mrs. Emma B. Wlckersham followed
with a recitation "Paddy's Reflec
tions on Cleopatra's Needle." and re
sponded to a hearty encore. "Kll-
larney" was then delightfully render
ed by E. L. Ashby. Mrs. C. S. Ed
wards was the accompanist of the
evening.
After the program each guest was
given a large "potato" np in which
were questions to lie auswered by
words beginning with "pat." The
first prize for this contest was won
by Mrs. Margaret Elklns. while the
consolation prize fell to the lot of
Wm. Morse.
The potato race which followed
At the instance of Eaitern bot.d-
holJers, Jndin Besn, presiding in the
United States Court, ordered that a
receiver be appointed for the Deechutea
Irrigation 4 Power Company, ssys the
Oregonian. The court made a special re
quest that the attorneys representing the
parties to the litigation agree upon some
capable and disinterested ciua retiring
in the vicinity of the Carey act reclama
tion project. The court intimated that
Chief Engineer Redfield. who has been
in charge of the construction of the
irrigation canal, wonll be a suitable
person.
The litigation began more thsa a jear
ago, the first attempt to secure a receiver
provirg a failure. At the prsent heating
it was thown that Ohio capitalists bid
furnished $-159,C00 for the purchase of
bonds, and the Deschutes company
had given a first mortgage for security, ,
the Merchants Saving & Trutt Com-
psny being earned a trustee. Later a
second issue of bonds was authorized by
the company, and the same trustee
named. It was also alleged that the
Deschutes company had failed in pay
ment of several installments of interest.
In passing on the case, Judge Bean
said :
At the time the first mortgage was
given the company had no substantial
assets. It bad a contract with the state
for the reclamation of a large tract of
arid lands in the eastern part of the state,
out of which it hoped to make a profit
but it had no prorerty other than the
contract. After it had sold its first
mortgage bond, and used them in
developing the project, it found that it
had not money enough to complete it,
and therefere made the second mortgage
and i.-uol 11. e nvuml iiiiirlj: tg . bond
It Iims rcvvivil.l think, fCMl.OHO or

That nmnoy baa nil liceit uacl in
ciiti!tru-ting llii project. In addititm ti
, tliat.tli revvnl litre latitat lM company
is in debt from $I0,iH0 to '00,(XH, to
i that its total imlvblednei la from $S00
1 000 to 1,000,000.
At the pH'.-ont time lt tangible assets
consist ol $73,000 lu notes and t-sh iu
the hand of the trustee, aa a sinking
fuud under ihu Hist uiortgags; l?S,000
in the hands of tli trustee toaecuie the
bonds baitrd under the first mortgage;
a maintenance fee uncollected fioiu the
settlers undcrthe project of about $10,000;
and about $300,000 that the company
deposited with the tiu.tee..iti cash for
the purpose of paying the del'eired
interest, making a total of aUtut $-41,000.
This U substantially all the tangible
assets of the company that I can tin t, as
tliown by the record.
There is a statement that the company
owns some real estate. The value ia, I
believe, laced at $40,000, but it ia an in
significant matter, to far aa the question
here ia concerned.
Now, iu addition .to this there are 10,-
000 acres reclaimed -and unsvM, upou
which there is a lien of $21 an acte.
This, however, is subject toa prior claim
of Howard tor $17.50 per acre on con
struction accouut.
The company has, iu addition to this,
about 73,000 acres which it c x pects here
after to reclaim, and the contention is
made that there will be a profit to the
company, wden tins land it reclaimed ,oi
about $"4 per acre. That is all of the
assets that are now available.
The first mortgage provides that on all
the lands disposed of by the coiupanv it
shall deposit 1 per sore w ith the tiustee,
as a linking fund as additional tecurity
tor the first mortgage bond. It has
l.l'.l Ia An ll.it At t.ua ...1.1 Ixviit I
50,000 acres and hat only deposited
ith the trustee $73,000, when theio
should have beeh $150,000. It also ap
pears quite clearly from the record as
made on the hearing, and confirmed by
a letter received from the manager of
the company a few days ago, and trans
mitted to the cjurt for filing w ith this
record (copy of which 1 understand was
furnished counsel for complainant),
that it will be impossible now to con
tinuo this project and complete the
work unless the company it permitted
to use the entire proceeds from the tale
of the liens and disposition oi the laud
under the project, except the mm of $3
per acre whi :li It proposes, or promise
that it will pay Into the sinking fund of
the first mortgage bonds. That would
be f 3 er acre on about 00,000 acres or
$270,000. And, taking this as actually
earned, and adding it to the $241,000,
there would still be lacking from f:500,
000 to StOO.GOO to pay the debts of this
concern, not counting possible profits
baaed on the difference between the
estimated cost for reclamation and the
probable tehing value of the company's
liens, which is entirely Secnlative.
' And h lar this $-1 Is tomrrnrd, the
only security the first mortgage Iwitnl-
hoMein have ia the promUe ol the com
pany thai w hen theie hindt are sol I it
will lake $3 per acre ol the proceeds and
pay into the trustee, and, to judge by
the past record. It ia doubtful whether
this promise will 1st complied with.
So 1 find that this company, upon it
0u allowing here, at thia time, ban
aam't M $100,000 or $100,000, and has
debts r f from $SOO,000 to $ 1 ,000,000. So
it must urcearily h insolvent.
