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

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

WATER ALL RUNS OUT
City Will Abandon This Well for
Water Supply aud will Sink
Another Somewhere.
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.

The Redmond Spokesman has

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.

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.
