forceful manner sliowcd tbo falsity of
tbe position of tbo democratic party on
tbe great questions of tbe day. lie paid
particular attention to tbo democratic
plank favoring government guarantee
of bank deposits, and to tbe anti-injunc
tion plank, and by tbo clearness of bis
logic exposed tbo fallacy of tbosc doc
trines advocated by tbe democratic
party. Ho also paid a splendid tribute
to Judge Ta'ft, tbo Republican nominee
for tbe presidency, cbaraefcrizing bim
as a man wJiq lias displayed distin
guished ability os lawyer, judge and
statesman, and in every other capacity
in which be bad been tried, and one to
whom the American people could look
to for an administration of the presiden
tial office in the interest of all the
people. '
Senator Fulton's speech was' well re
ceived, and the speaker was accorded
close attention and generous applause,
lie left Madras after lunch, ;oing to
Bend and Prineville, where bo also

automobile, and accompanied him on
bis trip through Crock county.

pils might attend the speaking. They

FIRST FALL RAINS
general rain througboct this dis
trict, falling upon tbe just and unjust
alike, was one of tbe pleasant innova
tions of the past week. It was Hie first
rain of tbe Fall season, and brought joy
to tho farmers and stockmen, to whom
tho rain was of great benefit. To the
farmer it will doubtless mean also that
Fall plowing will begin, Avbilo tho stQck
men will I'O glad to seo tho grass start
up on tho Fall ranges. Incidentally
everybody in this county will bo glad to
bo rid, for n few days at least, of tho
dust. Tlio rain, which was of tlio good,
soaking variety, began to fall Sunday
morning, and extended through tho
bettor part of three days. It will put
the roads, which had become- very dusty
and full of chuck-holes, in fine shape
for freighting. So far as can bo learned
tho rain wob general throughout the
county.

section, and decided to muko a small in
vestment hero, tho sale of the Kemke
tract was made through McTugtfart &

THINKS DESCHUTES
CQ.'S BD TOO HIGH'
Irrigation Company Wonts To Reclaim,
Additional 74,000 Acros In
Crook County,
Salem, Or,, Oct. 0. The Stato Land
Board heard today and took under adr.
visernent the application of tho Des
chutes Irrigation fc Power Co. for a con
tract for the reclamation of 74,000 acres,
of land South and East of the tract thaf,
company is already reclaiming in the
vicinity of Bend, Crook county. Thjs.
new tract is what is known as the Bene
ham Falls project.
The state has a contract with tho
United States for the reclamation f f-l)fM
tract and now the question is to whom
tho state shall let the contract of con
structing a reclamation system. Tho
Deschutes company wants a lien of $GQ
an acre fqf, reclaiming tho land, but
there are indications that the board
thinks this is too much. It is reported
that the Twin Falls Land & Water Co,,
which operated extensively in Idaho
and Eastern Washington, is figuring on
undertaking the Benham Falls project
at a price less than that named by tho.
Deschutes company. '
The board will send State Engineer
Lewis to inspect the land and report,'
The company estimates that 31 per cent
of tho entire tract is non-irrigable.
The state land board today adopted a
new and important rule relating to res:-,
dence on reclaimed land in the Des
chutes projects. Heretofore the rules
have required purchasers of reclaimed
land to reside three months on the land
and put one-eighth of it under cultiva
tion within three years from the data
of application. The rule adopted today
permits the settler to "prove up" by
showing a 30-day residence, the cultiva
tion of 75 per cent of bis and, and tlio
erection of a four-room house.
ITEMS FROM OUR EXCHANGES
Hauling Wheat To Prineville
Wheat, bushels of wheat, tons of
wheat, great wagonloads of wheat, is
being hauled to the Prineville Flouring '
Mills Quite a large percentage of this
wheat comes from the Madras country.
Although it is admitted that there is
less wheat this year than formerly,
there is certainly enough for homo con
sumption, whatever may be said of
wheat for export by way of Shaniko.
One lias only to visit the local mill to
note the truth of the foregoing asser
tion. Almost any hour of the day may
be seen from two to a dozen wagons full
of wheat awaiting their turn to unload,
while all inside the mill is bustle and'
bustle. Tlio elevator with a capacity of
1G.000 bushels, is overflowing, filled to
tho roof, and of this 8000 bushels camo
in during the past two weeks. In other
parts of tho mill sacked wheat and looso
wheat is being stored for tbe following
year s milling. It is wheat, wheat
everywhere. Piineville Journal.
No Smallpox Scare
Various repoi ts have been sent to the
ortland papers regarding the cas,e of
smallpox at Bend, and these reports
have related a much worse condition of
affairs than actually exists. The pa
tient is getting along very well and in
having only a very light attack of tho
disease. He is now on the road to re
covery and when the quarantine has ex-
ired lie will be in bis usual good health.
No new cases have developed, and none
are expected. School is in session, peo
ple are coming in and leaving town, and
business in all lines is progressing in
the usual mnnner. There is no cause
for alarm, at.d at Bend there is no
alarm. Bulletin.
