TEST OF O.W.R.&N.WELL
CIVES PLENTY OF WATER
Supply Apparently Inoxhauttoblo
Fnrmora on Agoncy Plains Will
Bo Furnlshod Wntor
A five hour test of continuous
pumping at the new 0. W. it. &
N. well last Saturday and a aim
ilar test the day following has
convinced the officials that the
well will famish water sufficient
for all purposes and as soon as
the tubing is placed the well
drilling outfit will be remoyed.
The test was made under the
supervision of L. C. McCoy, as
sistant engineer for the company,
and tho well gave no signs of
exhausting or even materially re
ducing its supply while the
pumping was in progress. On
each of the above days 25 gallons
per minute was pumped during
the five hours of testing.
The well is about 420 feet deep
and was started on tho 26th of
last June. For the past month
or six weeks no progress what
ever has made by the drillers in
going deeper, the bottom filling
up with loose sand, requiring
continuous bailing to keep it
from filling up. This was one
thing that delayed the test for
so long, it being supposed that
only a very little bit of water
seeped into the well with the
sand.
A crew of men will be put to
work immediately laying a 4-inch
pipe from the well to the big
tank at the depot. The plans of
the company now is to furnish
water to the farmers living on
Agency Plains.
WOMAN AWARDED $5000
FOR WRONGFUL ARREST
Mro. Ia E, B. Crosby Securos Judo
mo nt Against W. H. Maxwell
for Abovo Sum
Mrs. Isa E. B. Crosby, milliner
returned Wednesday from Port
iand, where she went to appear
in court as plaintiff against W.
H. Maxwell, loan agent, in a suit
for $30,000 for alleged wrongful
imprisonment. A verdict award
ing Mrs. Crosby $5000 was
reached by the jury a few min
utes after retiring. The Port
land Telegram had the following
to say of the case:
"Ab compensation for wronRful ar
rest and two days' imprisonment, Mrs.
Isa E. Crosby has been awarded $5000
against W. II. Maxwell, a loun agent,
by a jury in Judge Gantenbein's court.
I'lie pluintiir formerly owned a rooming
louse in Portland and became indebted
to Maxwell for a loan of $G0, for which
she gave her note and a mortgage on
her furniture. Later, with the consent
of a man named Frame, who repre
sented Maxwell, Bhn sold a portion of
tho furniture to one Powtherer, who
assumed the $00 debt to Maxwoll and
paid 10 on account, tho money being
received by Maxwell with tho under
standing that Mrs. Crosby should be
released and that he would look to
Powtherer for the balance. Mrs. Cros
by then moved tho balance of her furni
ture to Seattle. Maxwell subsequently
brought action against Powtherer, but
failed to get tho balance on his loan.
Ho then secured Mrs. Crosby's arrest
in Seattle on a charge of larceny by
bailee of tho furniture which she had
removed to Seattle. During her incar
ceration there, she was forced to keep
her little boy with her in her coll, she
icing without funds to provide for him
elsowhoro. Tho grand jury which in
vestigated tho case exonerated Mrs.
Crosby and she was released on tele
graphic instructions from the Multno
mah county authorities."
Drs. Hailo and Gale havo open
ed an office at Motolius. This
move was necessary on account
of tho large number of laborers
in tho railroad yards there at tho
present time. Their contracts as
physician and surgeon for tho
two railroad companies were ro
nowod last week.
Great northern Exnibits Oregon Products

The (3 rent Northern has just bought
live sections at the Twin City show,
spceinl part of it will bo shown for tho
Jirnt time ut (lie hig show in .St. Paul,
tlio f 3 rent Northern will also show in
New York City, in Omaha and at several
other shows during the full and winter.
From all of these displays our stale

pany divides its space up and plnces tho
name of the slate over that part of the
winch is to bo given from December 12
to 2'A under the auspices of the North
western Development League. This
means that railroad company will have
about 1,000 square feet of exhibit space
lo fill from tho states along its lines.
Ileing lh(! first railroad compnny to buy
space, the flreat Northern has secured
tho pick of tho space after the reserva
tions were made for official exhibits.
Representatives of the railroad arc now
ut work collecting the exhibit. While a
exhibit which is collected from here.
Speaking of tho advantage of making
those exhibits, President L. V. Hill says,
"From experience wo find that we get
better results from our exhibits at land
shows than from any other single form
of advertising which wo do."
It follows that if tho railroads get
such good results from the land bIiow
ehibils,Jlhe states which they represent
must get1 a large share of the benefit.
IRVING AND JACKSON IN
GREAT FISHING SCENE
Caught at City Well With
Rod and Tackle
IRVING TALKS ABOUT HOGS
Prominent Madras Citizen Spins Yarn
on His Associates Principals
Deny Allegation
If the veracity of a prominent
business man in this city can be
relied upon, Judge Jackson and
Attorney Lewis H. Irving are the
principals in one of the greatest
fishing scenes of American out
door drama.
One glorious morning about
the beginning of last week, so
the story goes, these two famous
counsellors, with their fishing
paraphernalia, were observed sit
ting on the brink of the new city
well, their feet encased in hetivy
hob nailed fishing shoes dangling
over the edge, sixty feet from
the bottom.
Becoming curious at tho strange
actions of his fellow townsmen
and associates, he stepped un
observed behind the gasoline en
gine, used to pump water out of
the well, and listened to their
conversation.
"I'm kind of glad wo came
early, judge," spoke up the
younger man, as he slipped itn-
other angleworm on his hook and
dropped it back in the well,
cause if we were seen by some
of the early-risers in this neigh
borhood they might think we
were candidates for the foolish
house."
"I don't caro a d m what
they think," replied the senior
member of the fishing duo, who
who had followed Robert IS. Leo
around tho southern part of
Uncle Sam's domain in 1801.
"There's fish in this hole and if
wo stick till the sun gets a little
higher and begins to throw its
cheerful rays down into the fu
ture water supply of Madras,
things will come our way so fast
it will require a canning estab
lishment to take care of them."
For several minutes nothing
more was said by the two fish
erman; the only sound to pene
trate the death-like stillness of
the morning being- the splash of
the sinkers as the lines were
drawn up and down in the well,
or the faint howl of a coyote far
back in the distant hills.
Again the younger man broke
into speech.
"We're up against it judge,
there ain't no fish in that hole
and lam going to quit," and
commenced to reel in about sixty
feet of seaweed.
Thinking that he might divert
the attention of his older com
panion to something besides fish
it. g, he resumed his conversation
thusly:
"Do you know, judge, that the
hog raising business which is be
ing encouraged so much lately in
the newspapers, is going to be
the coming thing in Central Ore
gon." The judge had reeled in his
line, and after taking a fresh
chew of tobacco, drew himself
into a characteristic Isaac Walton
pose jind listened attentively to
the speaker.
"Back where I came from,"
and tlif) peculiar accent to his
words indicated that he was from
somewhere below the Mason and
Dixie line, "hog raising was the
greatest industry we had, ex
cept lynchings, and if handled
properly in this glorious climate
of ours, good pigs ought to go
about 40 bushels to the acre."
This was too much for the third
member of the party and he step
ped from his hiding place to
greet the fishermen.
"Had any luck boys," he said
smilingly, and looking up they
recognized their betrayer.
By way of explanation, the
man who recently rendered an
opinion, on tho "Motor Vehicle
Law," said they were not fishing
in the well, but htid started out
that morning early for the Des
chutes river and stopped at tho
well to see how much water was
flowing.
The man who related this yarn
still maintains, howover, that
they wore caught in tho act
notwithstanding.
SOLDIERS AFTER BEAR
LOST IN MOUNTAINS
Corporal Hawkins With Detail of Sol
dlors Roach Madras Aftor Fruit
loss Soarch for Comrades
The two batteries of artillery
stationed at Warmsprings reser
vation for target practice, have
practically abandoned their work
for the past few days to search
for two of their comrades who
were lost while hunting for bear
in the mountains last Sunday.
Corporal Hawkins of Battery
D with a mounted detail of five
privates came into Madras last
Tuesday afternoon and to a re
porter for The Pioneer said that
two of their comrades, Sergeant
Stevens and Cook Miller, left
camp last Sunday on a hunting
trip after bear in the nearby
mountains, and it was feared
they had lost their bearings and
were wandering in the hills.
He also said that troops in ev
ery direction were scouring the
hills in the hopes of finding their
comrades. The lost soldiers
were not properly clothed to
withstand the cold in the hills
and it is thought that unless they
have found refuge in some set
tler's cabin they have perished.
