RACES WILL BE FEATURE BOTTOM FALLS OUT OF THE CITY WELL Drill Strikes Air Crevice at Ninety Feet Suggestion Mode that Days be Dc olgnated for Different Sections of the County. At a meeting'of the board of directors of the First Central Oregon Agricultural Society held May 27th at Prineville, this being the first full board of the year, the commissioners ap pointed by the Governor having unly just been elected, the fol lowing officers were chosen by the board for the Central Oregon Fair of 1911. President, William Boegli; vice-president, J. E. Roberts; secretary, J. S. Fox. The other three members of the board are G. II. Russell, Oliver Powell, and J H. Gray. The date of the fair was set this year for October 11th to 14th, four days instead of five, and commencing on the Wednes day just prior to court week in order to allow those who have to attend court to come just a few days earlier and take in the fair as well. It was decided to have four days instead of five, not to reduce the number of attractions, but to concentrate them so as to eliminate those slow waiting per iods between events, which have characterized some previous meets. Although the attractions have not yet been finally decided upon, the board feel that they will at least be equal to and they believe superior to any that have been on the program. One word may be said of the races, and to those who know that one word is sufficient. Geo. H. Rus sell, the prominent horseman, and a member of the board, will have personal charge of this work. Mr. Russell assures us that those who are attracted by this attraction will be abundant ly satisfied.

With all other diffculties that have beset the Madras City water works from the beginning another discouraging feature was encountered this morning, when the drill being use j in sinking the. well struck an air crevice at a depth of about 90 feet and al lowed all of the water in the well to run out at the bottom. The city authorities have con cluded to abandon the well so far as a source of supply for the city water works is concerned, and will sink another somewhere on the townsite. The well which the bottom has just fell out of will be cemented in the bottom and is for sale. It is estimated that the well will supply about 500 gallons per day and would furnish water for ten or more families, but would not begin to furnish enough water for the city system. This well was dug from the surface to a depth of 70 feet with a diameter of 8 feet, and its con struction up to date has cost the city in the neighborhood of $120Q. While these little things are more or less discouraging, there is nothing to do but to keep try ing until some well is found that will supply the required amount of water. INDIAN TOOK WHISKY ON RESERVATION Perry Kuckup, chief of the Indian Police on the Warmspring Reservation, came in Tuesday evening bringing Frank Charlie, who was accused of bringing a quart of whiskey on the reserva tion, contrary to the laws of the United States. Charlie was ar rested by Johnnie Quinn, who with Tommy Puyette, accom panied Chief Kuckup to Madras. Charlie was brought before Com missioner Turner for a prelim inary hearing. Commitment was issued and he was taken to Portland yesterday by Supt. C C. Covey to answer to the feder al grand jury. From what source the firewater found its way into the possession of the Indian was not learned in the preliminary. Daily Paper at Redmond The Redmond Spokesman has bloomed out with adaily, the first issue bearing the date of June 1. Publisher Palmer savs now is just as good a time as any to take the leap. He deserves all kinds of success, and the Pioneer hopes he reaps something more than hard work from the effort. TOM MILAR SHOT BY DEPUTY SHERIFF Makes Break for Liberty but Gets Fatal Bullet Thomas Milar of Opal City was shot and killed last Thurs day near O'Neil by Deputy Sher iff C. W. Williams, while he was making an attempt to escape from the officer. Milar was ar rested at Opal City that morning on a charge ol burglarizing a cook car and stealing three hams, and the deputy sheriff started for Prineville with his man by auto, there being six other passengers in the car. According to the Prineville Review, shortly before reaching O'Neil the prisoner, who was not handcuffed, asked permission to step out ior a moment, which was granted. Then Milar started to make a getaway through the junipers and the deputy called on him to halt. As Milar refused to do this, Williams fired his revolver twice in the air, and the next shot, which was" intended to wing" him, ranged too high. striking the fugitive in the back, and penetrating the right lung, causing death in about an hour. Dr. Belknap who was down that way, was called to attend the wounded man, but the latter died before the doctor reached O'Neil. Coroner Hyde, Sheriff Balfour, Dr. Edwards and Deputy Dis trict Attorney Wirtz left Prine ville at 1 o'clock for O'Neil where the coroner's inquest ex onerated Deputy Sheriff Williams. PUP DISCOVERS THAT IT'S MOVING DAY. sp'1 - y C ' , NO. 38 TRAINLOADS OF STEEL ARRIVING FOR BRIDGE Willow Creek Viaduct Is Being Assembled FIRST SPAN NOW STARTED More Than 100 Carloads of Materials Being Unloaded on Agency Plain ' Giant Crane on the Job. -Fox In Chicago Evening Pott. Several train loads of the steel for the Willow Creek viaduct have arrived at Madras over the Deschutes railway and is now being unloaded on the right of way on Agency Plain between the depot and the canyon. A giant steam crane is now em ployed in this work. The first of the massive steel girders have been swung into place from the north bank and preparations of all kinds are underway atthe bridge site for placing the big structure in position. There will be some thing over 100 carloads of the steel in all, and it is being placed along the track with some system 30 that it can be picked ud bv the crane and taken to the work as fast as needed without much trouble. Among the equipment that is being installed is a direct con nected electric dvnamo. which will operate a lighting plant so that work on the bridge can be prosecuted at night. There are also several auxiliary hoisting outfits which will be used in placing the steel in position to be riveted together. As the work progresses on the foundations, and the steel arrives and the preparations for building the bridge begin to assume tangible shape, the greatness of the task before the workmen begins to impress itself on the spectator who visits the scene. Standing on the Agency Plain brink you look across to the Lit tle Plain side almost a quarter of a mile away, where the other end of the bridge is to be, and it is difficult to imagine that within a couple of months all those mas sive pieces of steel will be mounted on the concrete founda tions which rise -from the solid rock below, and make a bridge across which trains may thunder in the years to come. But that is what is being done, and the people of Central Oregon are be ginning to believe thatthe rail road builders can do most any thing and do it quick, since they have seen some of their accom plishments in the line of railroad construction. The concrete work on the bridge will be finished within about 10 days, and should the steel workers commence full force at once they would not be able to overtake the foundation makers. LEASES 600 ACRES OF FARMING LAND George Ledgerwood of Riddle, who arrived here last week, to look over the country, has leased 600 acres of the W. F. Hammer land at Culver and expects to re move here in September to take possession. The lease is for a period of five years, and Mr. Ledgerwood intends to raise wheat. He will bring a portion of his live stock overland when he removes here from Douglas coun ty this fall.
