part of Jast and fore part of
this week," and by sbme it is
predicted that the early crop of
fruit yill fail entirely on
account of the cold spell. Tho
daTs have been warm, but the
temperature dropped in the
evening, with heavy fiost on
spne or two mornings of the past
.week. There was :i quarter -oi
nniiicli or more of ice in Mad
ras on Monday morning.
. "While reports received so far
are very discouraging, it is
"believed by the more optimistic
that the damage will not prove
as great as has been reported.
.There has been some damage to
tl)6 early varieties of fruit,
which were beginning to bloom,

THE IMPORTED
There has still been no offi
cial notice concerning the
awarding of the contract for the
"Westside mail service, and it is
believed by those who are in
terested in the establishment of
that service, that no contract
Las been awarded, as some in
formation would have been
received by this time had the
service been established. Un
der the advertisement for con-"
tracts the new service was to go
into ell'ect on May 10, if estate
lished, but it was understood
that the service would not be
established unless the bid
offered for the mail contract was
entirely satisfactory. The fact
that no official notice ojneern
ing the matter has been re
ceived is regarded as an indica
tion that no contract for the
service has yet been awarded.
T. M.Baldwin, cashier of the
First National Bank of Prine

not the finest, homes in the
count'. Mr. Baldwin's new
home will be an ornament to
the town of Prineville, where a
number" of iihw' business and
residence houses have gone up
in the past 3rear or so.

. Binger Hermann does not
deny having destroyed the let
. t'er copy-books just prior to his
Vetireitient from the General
La,'nd Office, but he does deny
their public character or that
t lie was guilty of any wi;ong in
tent. Under the instructions
from the trial judge, the jury
'took that view of it, and Binger
is a free man. It would be in
teresting to hear the verdict of
the public ou the transaction,
.unhampered by any instilla
tions from tho court.
The Bulletin has made it a
point tc make numerous in
quiries regarding the condition
of fall sown grain. 'Every re
port so far obtained states that
fall sown crops never looked
better and that they are in
excellent condition. In fact,
i here is promise of a bumper
yield from this grain. Matij' of
the farmers hereabout firmly
j believe that all giain, the na
ture of which permits it, should
lie sowed in the fall, thus se
eming the benefit of the fall
and winter moisture. Each
year's experience . , seems to
prove them correct in their
theory. Bend Bulletin.
