Four-horse Team
Dash Down Grade
Tuesday afternoon about 4:30
there occured on the grade west of
Prineville, what might have been a
very serious runaway.
A large teurn, belonging to Otto
Sontag, started from the Condart
place a short distance west of the
top of the grade, to Frincville with
load of hay. The hay was rye and
had been bound, and suddenly the
load slipped off the wagon and cover
ed the two men who were in the
load, deep in the bundles. Before
they could extricate themselves the
team was well toward the top of
the grade, and running madly.
Enter, If. G. Kennard, deputy
watcrmaster. Kennard was coming
toward the top of the grade on his
motor on another road, and when
he saw what was taking place he put
on all possible speed with the idea
of arriving at the top of the grade;
first, and stopping the team. He
could not do that however, and at
tempted the next best thing by run
ning his machine over the sagebrush
and rocks, and came up to the side
of the wagon. Jumping from the
motor, he made an effort to get on
to the hayrack, and just as he felt
that he was safely aboard, the wagon
hit a rock or some other object, a.ul
Kennurd went high into the air, and
when he regained his senses he could
hear the din of the hayrack and
team as they dashed down the grade
at a mad pace.

Chapter three, scene one. The De
maris brothers, Henry Carter and
Pearl Johnson, with their families,
decided a few days ago that as the
deer season opened on August 1,
it was their opportunity to go into
the Cascades, get a few deer, and
some berries. They loaded a wagon
with camp equipment, fruit jars and
the like, hitched four horses to the
rig, and started. Close behind came
the ladies in a two-seated hack.
. At the sharp turn on the grade
were to be found these people, at
4:32, Tuesday afternoon.
Sontag's team, having been taught
the rules of the road, tuned to the
right, and passed the four horse team
safely, but in some manner the hay
rack caught the wagon and threw
wagon, four horses and all over the-
grade into a heap. From the melee

came toward the hack and lady oc
cupants. The women decided that
it wduld be safer on the hill above
the grade on foot than in the buggy
for a time at least, nd they aban
doned the team and went for the hill.
These two teams became so entan
gkd that they were both caught with
out much damage to either. Aside
from som scratches on the horses,
and some of the men who participat
ed, no damage was done.
The wagon that went over the
grade escaped without so much as
breaking a fruit jar of its contents.

votes will all be counted in the con
test for the grand prizes, so that to
those who go into the race hard, and
go in early, a double reward is wait

September 4, and for any reason
prefer some other article, the watch
will be taken in exchange for ary

selection.
To those living in the country dis
tricts, we wish to announce that spe
cial prizes will be given in the various
parts of the country and to those
candidates there are greater oppor
tunities, for there is a possibility of
securing more new subscribers, and
there will be less candidates than
there will be in the towns.

irrigators be as economical as possi
ble in the use of water in order that
some water may be left to mature
the crops of subsequent appropria-
tors below.
From letters received at the State
Engineer's office it appears that
many water users have the mistaken
idea that to economize in the use of
water so that some will flow down
to their neighbor, will detrimentally
affect their water right. If the prior
appropriator demands his pound of
flesh this season, it will cause the
ruin of other crops. The State
Egincer desires to call attention to
these unusual conditions and solicit
the harmonious cooperation among
the water users to the end that in
jury to crops through shortage of
water supply be minimized.

To Recall Their District Attorney
A recall election was held in Wheel
er county Monday. The election was
an attempt to recall the District At
torney, J. W. Starr, and was support
ed by the city marshal of Mitchell,

Unlets some unforeseen official

glad to accept your kind invitation
to be present at the Crook County

cofivenient for me to be with you on
Saturday, October 9. I shall come
to Redmond on the train arriving

fore, that you kindly arrange for
this schedule.
While I appreciate your courtesy
in suggesting it, I cannot serve in
the capacity of judge of stock. For
a number of years I have refused to
act as judge, and must decline in
this instance. However, it will give
me "great pleasure to inspect what
j Central Oregon has to offer in stock,
and you may call upon me for any
share in the day's program which
would seem most appropriate.
I might add that I am especially
glad to attend your Fair, because
the Crook County representative in
my office, Mr. Putnam, assures me
that he is advised the Fair is going
to be a most successful and import
ant event this year.
Very truly yours,
James Withycombe,
Governor.
