PRINEVILLE IS
VICTORIOUS
Score Was 8 to 10,
Eleven Innings
DISASTEROUS NINTH
Errors at Critical Time Gave
Visitors Game That Was
Practlcalfy Won
Prlneville 10 Madras 8.
That was the Bcoro of last Sunday's
game on tbo local grounds, but it took
eleven innings to dccldo the contest,
which waH n hard fought battle from
Htart to finish.
At tho end of the fifth inning the
score was even, 5 to 5. in the sixth
Madras passed two more men across
the plate and there was nothing fur
ther doing in tho tally line until Prine
ville went to bat in the first lialf of the
ninth. Doyle, a new man who was
on thin! for MadruH, juggled, a few
batted balls and in this fatal inning
Prinovillo scored three runs. Madras
went to bat and Galloway made the
circuit, again tioing the score with 8 to
8.
In the tenth Inning no one made first
base on either team, but in the
eleventh Belknap and Ilemler scored
for Prlneville. With an uphill game,
hot, dusty and worn out by tho long
contest, the homo team went to bat,
but were unable to negotiate anything
that counted and the gruelling contest
was over.
Dan Ketchum pitched for the visitors
and held out faithfully for the eleven
innings. Jack Hnydon led off in the
box for Madras and stayed two innings.
He walked a man to first on four balls
when tho sacks were all full, forced
home tho runner on third and made
Prlneville a present of their first score.
Thomas thon went to the Blab and
pitched good ball for threo innings,
when ho was rcliovcd by Ed Brown,
who apparently had- the stuff that
Prinovillo couldn't handle. Tho heat
and dust was fiorce but every man
stayed right on the job.
Now just a word about that new man
Doyle. That follow can play ball, but
ho needs prnclico and seasoning to tho
heat. Some hot grounders came his
way in tho ninth when every man in
tho gamo was at tho faff end of his
endurance, and he had the misfortune
to furnblo at a critical time. These
chances are nil in tho game. Madras
had tho hard luck to lose, after they
had practically earned the victory.
And it is a cheap sport that will back
his home team and then gmmble and
find fault because they don't win every
game. Stand by your team and its
eaptain, win or lose. If it makes you
sore to lose a measley bet, don't bet.
It's unlawful anyhow. When a town
has a loyal, hardworking team like
Mudras has now, tho knockers ought
not to be countenanced,
Warren Smith, oT Madras umpired
the home plate for balls and strikes.
Bert Barnes, of Prlneville ofilciatcd for
the bases and field. Louis Falkenhagen

CONTRACT NOT LET
Announcemont Exrocted Concornlng
Work South of Madras
The announcement of the awarding
of the contract for the extension of the
Oregon Trunk Line grade south from
Madras is expected daily, although at
the time of going to press Resident
Engineer Lyman Griswold says that he
has received no information about the
matter. Tho bids were closed the first
of tho week and it is understood eight
different firms were competing for the
big job.
Informal estimates figure the cost of
the extension at about $2,000,000. The
most expensive single feature will be
the massive high-level bridge across
Crooked river about 17 miles south of
this city, which will cost in excess of
$500,000.
It is feared that the most serious
obstacle in the way of pushing the new
work at tho speed desired will be the
scarcity of labor
The announcement of the awarding
of the contract is confidently expected
by the end of this week.

JIM HILL MAY
VISIT INTERIOR
Now on Way to
Pacific Coast
BANKERS WITH HIM
Empire Builder Says He Is
Coming on a Fishing
Expedition
RAILROAD LABORER JH8AHE
Jim Hill is to see Central Oregon
with his own eyes. Heretofore his
visions of the promised land have come
to him second-hand through the inspir
ing descriptions of his trusted spy,
John F. Stevens, and his other lieuten
ants, but the announcement comes
from Portland that soon after the first
of May Mr. Hill, probably in- company
with John F. Stevens, will make a tour
of the Central Oregon country by auto
to see for himself the region which he
is spending millions upon in the building
of the Oregon Trunk line.
Lost Saturday a special train left
Chicago for Portland with J. J. Hill,
Charles F. Barker, president of the
First National Bank of New York, and
George F. Steele, of the firm of J. P,
Morgan & Co.
A Chicago special to the Oregonian
says:
When asked the significance of the
trip Mr. Hill replied:
"Well, if you know anything about
the Northwest, you know that the
fishing is getting pretty good there
about this time. The trout will begin
biting by the time we arrive, and we
are going to have a little fishing
expedition."
Mr. Steele, of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
when asked what the trip was being
undertaken for, said:
"As for me it simply means I am
going to get away from the office and
from business for two or three weeks
and not care a rap about either."
President Baker of the First National
Bank of New York, stated he was
going to look over the Hill properties
for "educational purposes."
WILL STOP AT THE DALLES
The Dalles, Or., April 26. James J.
Hill is not coming West trout fishing
as he announced when he left Chicago
Saturday, for local officials of the Ore
gon Trunk Line admit that the railroad
magnate will arrive here some time
this week, probably Wednesday night
or Thursday morning, and that he and
his party will tour the interior in auto
mobiles. On the trip Mr. Hill will
personally inspect his new road.
SIXTY FEET OF WATER
IN STONEHOGKER WELL
Undertaking At Mud Springs Results
Successfully Depth of 393
Feet Is Reachod
Water was struck in tho deep well
hich W. II, Stouehocker was having
drilled on Ihb place near tho Mud
Springs schoolhouso, last Thursday, at
depth of 393 feet, water raising in tho
drill holo to a height of GO feet. The
outcome of this venturo lias been
ailed for with much interest by tho
residents of that neighborhood, as it is
tho first undertaking of Hie kind that
has been attempted in that immediate
vicinitv. and it was of tho nature of a
demonstration of tho feasibility of get
ting water by drilling there.
Tho well.wftB undertaken in tho first
place by Ivan Halo, who was using his
own machine. Halo had tho misfor-
tnno to lose a string of tools in the well
and was unablo to recover them, Then
driller named Odell got tho J. Strain
rllllnn outfit and after many attempts
succeeded In getting a grin on the tools
and hauled thorn to tho surface Tho
rill has been pounding away steadily
over sinco and tho successful ending of
Herman Anderson, a railroad laborer
about 30 years of age, was taken to
Prineville Tuesday by City Marshal
Culp, and after examination by the
county authorities the man was ad
judged insane and will be committed to
the state hospital at Salem.
Anderson worked for awhile at Calla
han's camp, and later on the Dwyer
contracts. Then he went to Porter
Bros.' camps and worked awhile. Last
Sunday Anderson was noticed to be
acting queerly. He would walk and sit
by himself, rocking his body :to and fro
and keep up a continual stream of talk.
He did not exhibit any dangerous ten
dencies further than to repeat over and
over that he was going to kill the king
of Sweden, of which country he is a
native.
In one of his saner moods Anderson
told Marshal Culp that he had at one
time been an inmate of an insane
asylum in Sweden. The examining
physicians stated that' they believed
his infirmities were inherited and that
the unfortunate man would probably
soon die at the state institution.
DEATH OF MRS. OREN WAITE
Mrs. Arabell Waite, wife of Oren
Waite, died at the family home north
east of Lamonta, April 20th, after a
long illness. She had been unable to
leave her bed for the past seven months.
The funeral services were held last
Thursday at Lamonta schoolhouse and
were conducted by Rev. C. C. Babbidge
of Prineville. The remains were in
terred in Grey Buttp Cemetery. A
large number of friends and neighbors
attended the funeral.
Arabell Starr was born in the state of
New York July 12, 1848. She was mar
ried to Oren Waite at Carson City, Nev.
The family came to Oregon in 1002, and
have since made their home near La
monta. Mrs. Waite is survived by her
husband, and four sons, Henry, John,
Stephen and Edgar, besides a sister,
Mrs. S. A. Barron, of Colorada, who
was attending her at the time of her
death.
FIND NUCCETS AT HAYCREEK
A. V. Warren was in from his home
on Hay creek Monday and reports that
while he was excavating for a cellar at
his home recently he picked up a gold
nugget out of the dirt wortli several
dollars, and he had the nugget to sub
stantiate his statements. Following the
announcement of his find, Mr. Warren
says that there has been considerable
activity in that vicinity in prospecting
for gold.
Several times in the past nuggets
have been picked up in the Hay creek
valley and that section may yet prove to
be a gold mining district as well as the
location of extensive deposits of com
mercial coal, Mr. Warren's place is
about six miles up Hay creek from the
B. S. & L ranch.
