Heretofore sales have been uiiiue at irom i.ou io ?io an acre, ac cording to tlp2 quantity of land in a 40- icre tract that can be irrigated. Now the price will range from $2.50 to $40 an icre, the latter being for land that can tie irrigated ami tiie lormer lor non- irrigable laud. The D. I. & T. Co. have agreed to turn over the system to the settlers in good condition at the end of 10 years. The annual maintenance citarge is re duced from $1.00 to 80 cents per acre. Those settlers who have already liought land may obtain their proportionate partnership in the system by paying an additional $0 per acre. Tho company is also required to de posit $1 for every acre sold, or $1 for every $25 paid by the settlers, as a guarantee that they will complete the system in good faith. Pend Bulletin, AUTOS ON STAGE LINE Westslde Company Will Install Them Between Youngs and O'Nell ELK DRUG STORE Carries a full line of clean fresh drugs, perfumes and toilet articles FRED J. DAMON MADRAS, OREGON That passengers traveling over the line of the Bend-Madras-Shaniko Stage Company will be bowled along over the smooth roads from Youngs through Madras to O'Netl on Crooked lliver in monster automobiles in tho near future is the announcement made by manager J. II. Weniuidy. Tho plan is to put automobiles in service on this iortion of the route us soon us tho machines can be shipped from Portland, thereby doing away with two relays of horses and very materially lessening the timo required between Shauiko and Bend. Tho por tion of the route on which it is propositi to uso tho automobiles is about 40 miles long, and tho roads thereon aro excep tionally good at all times of tho year. The machines will havo a capacity for carrying 11 passengers. By their aid Manager Wenandy Bays his company will bo ablo to laud passengers from tho Shaniko evening train in Bend by 0 o'clock tho following morning, covering a distance) of 00 miles. A branch stage will bo put on between Prinovillo anil O'Nell, a distance of 13 mileB, to connect with tho Bend-Madras-Shaniko lino, and much of tho Prlne-vlllo-Shuniko travel is thus expected to bo diverted to tho Weststdo route, as well as affording a quick trip to and from tho countyseat for tho residents of Northwestern Crook. WESTSIDE MAI ROM Colonel Vallle Holds Out LtttfcL Hope for ts EstabHshmej SAYS BIDS ON SERVICE WERE TOO HIGftj Ho Explains Why It Was Not Es, tabllshod Bids Double Price That Was Anticipated Colonel Frank W, Vaillc, inspector ot Star mail routes for Orcaon, who is in. Madras today, holds out little hopo fou the establishment ol the proposed Vest- side mail route, He states that owing; to the fact that the Bend-Madrast. Shaniko Stage Company did not live up, to its agreement with him in the matter, of making a reasonable bid for carrying the mail from Shaniko through this, place to Bend, there will in all proba-. bility be no change made. When tha proposal was m,ade for tha eaaV.U8UIncn of the new. service if, Vtt3 vmd,cxa,tool that the stage company, eeired to, carry the mail at a figure equa o, abou,t tho. amount paid the several Bh$x ?fputev which would be abolished 'h& tho. through route was established vhiclt, was approximately $2OQ0. When, (he. bids were made the stage company asked an annual price of about $4000, oi double the amount anticipated. In the petitions asking for the estab-. lishment of the Westside route, which were sigped by most all the residents of the districts affected, this point of tha approximate co:t for the service was clearly set forth. From the viewpoint of the stage com-. pany, however, when tiie requests for bids were posted, the matter presented, itself in a different light than was at first presented, Tiie stage company ex pected to be able to carry the mail orj their regular-passenger echedujej which included a lay-over in the neighborhood of Cross Keys, affording a more com-i fortnble trip for their passengers! But, when the call for bids was made tho schedule provided for a direct seryicev without lay-over, allowing 24 hours from Shaniko to Bend, and 2Q hours on tho return trip. The stage company tigurod tiiat in order to handle the mail and still give tho desired passenger service. they would have to put on extra stages to carry the mail, and so included tint cost of this extra service in their bid. At present the Westside stage does not make any lay-over on the trip between Shaniko and Bend. Colonel Vallle states that in case tho stage company will come backjto ita original agreement, that the wholo matter of establishing the route will bey reconsidered, and that a contract would probably be granted along the lines at first proposed. During the past few weeks the mail crvice for Madras and Culver has been ery satisfactory. Instead of reaching, w Madras at 10 or 11 o'clock in thofore-' noon as has heretofore been thu.custom, iB man irom mo rauroau now arrives icre before Q a. m., thus making con nection with the Culver mail stage, which leaves here at 7 o'clock and giving tho patrons of that office their mail one ay earlier. With a continuance of tho present service, the proposed change would not materially improve the Mad ras and Culver servico, but it would be an advantage to patrons of the offices along the new route south of Crooked River, and it is hoped that for this rea son somo satisfactory adjustment of the matter may bo arrived at, so that the through service mav bo established. t will give this section direct mail con nection with tho Bend. Redmond and :,aidlaw districts, and wil facilitate the transaction of business, bet localities. A, C. Bahford ahd family visited with friends at Haycreok last Suuday, SEEK TO DISBAR M. R.
