If there are any more boy In

bee hives, they may start at once for
the II. J. Overturf ranch, where they
can steal honey without fear of In

glasses to hide the place where a bee

Overturf wanted honey, and used
smoke In the orthodoi manner to
quiet the nerve of the occupant
of one of hi hive. One solitary
bee was a smoke eater, however,
and failed to be properly pacified.
A Overturf started to remove the
honey, the bee (lew out. buzzed

Overturf Isn't Interested In honey

FAItGO, N. Dak., Oct. 31. North
Dakota today prepared for necessary
changes should the Independent win
the recall election. Returns from non
partisan districts, trickling in, seem
ed to cut down Nestos' 9.000 lead
over Frazier.
The Independents' final majority
will not be over 1200, some thought,
and might possibly go the other way,
retaining the non-partisans in office.
That is unlikely however.
A. C. Townley, founder of non-par-tlsanlsm,
is prepared to go to Jail
tonight to serve 90 day for violation
of the Minnesota espionage law.

TORY IUSIXF.SS BETTER.
The demand for lumber continues
brisk and prices still exhibit an up
ward tendency, says the American
Lumberman' weekly review, which
continues: "The volume of buying
will probably be (lightly less thl
week than last week, bat this I
largely due to the diminishing sup
plies of stock In most demand. Fac
tory business Is picking np and the
railroads are buying a certain amount
of material. The possibility of the
railroad strike ha caused some com
panies to buy transit shipments but
on the whole. It has had little effect
upon the lumber market.
"The hardwood market continues
to Improve and everywhere predict
ions are heard that supplies of stock
will be Inadequate to meet the de
mand. In the south logging can not
he done economically In the winter
and consequently little progress in
filling up stocks can be made until
next spring. While winter logging
can be conducted to some extent In
the north, sawing operations will not
be heavy until next year."
SECOND TEST WELL
TO BEGIN AT ONCE
Rig Set Vp On Sprague Ranch In
Readiness To Sink Hole To Tap
Flow of Artesian Water.
That the drilling rig is set np.
ready to start operations in sinking
the second state well In the Fort
Rock valley, is the declaration of
Charles Haines, Bend realtor, on his
return from a trip through the Fort
Rock section. Drilling will be In
charge of E. R. Walker.
While It had been understood. that
the bole would be put down on the
Crampton ranch, a new location has
been picked, Haines reports, and as
a result the second tost of the ar
tesian flow which it Is believed can
be tapped almost anywhere in the
entire valley, will b.e made on the
Sprague place, three and one-half
miles southwest of the town of Fort
Rock.
COUNTY OFFICES

County School Superintendent J.
Alton Thompson and Assessor A. A.

COUNTY SPUDS
RATED HIGH AT
NATIONALSHOW
NETTED GEMS GIVEN
SPECIAL AWARD
EXHIBIT COMES LATE
Di-M-hutes Fntrli Xot Regularly
Judged, But Get Hitter Than
Flmt Prize For Their
"Outstanding Qualities."
Central Oregon spuds were big
winners at the National Potato ahow
at Duluth, according to a telegram
received this morning by Secretary
L. Antles of the Bend Commercial
club. A peck of Deschutes county
Netted Gem potatoes received a spe
cial award for their "outstanding
qualities, and a peck of Irish Cob
blers from Crook county took first
In their class, a well a being de
clared the best peck from a distance
of more than 500 miles.
The peck of Netted Gam potatoes
entered at the national show, arrived
too late for the regular Judging, but
the high class of the exhibit waa
shown la the fact that the special
prize given was for 125. while the
first prize In any given class I 110.
This la taken a indicating that ha
the Deschutes county spuds arrived
a day earlier, they would have had
at the very least, an excellent chance
of taking the sweepstake for the
best peck in any class, believes M. G.
Coe. who first suggested entering
Deschutes county potatoes at Duluth.
and who, with County Agent D. L.
Jamison selected the peck of tubers,
representative of the best from farms
in various parts of the county, which
were given such high recognition by
the Judges.
Display Sent to Portland
"Your peck of Netted Gems arriv
ed too late for regular Judging, bat
were given a special award of I IS
for their outstanding qualities," say
the telegram received at Commercial
club headquarter announcing the
success of the county exhibit. "Toe
other peck won flrat prise In their
class, and the special prise as the
best from beyond 600 miles. Tom
were also awarded second prize
among winners from greatest dis
tances." The "other peeV alluded to In the
telegram is that from Crook county.
Secretary L. Antles of the club ex
plained. He considers that only the
fact that the Deschutes county peck
arrived too late for regular Judging
prevented the entire Central Oregom
exhibit from drawing the first prize
for entries from the greatest dis
tance.
Following the sending of Deschutes
county's potato display to Portland
to be entered at the Land Products
show in that city. Coe and Jamison
will leave Thursday night to be pres
ent at the Judging. In view of the
high place accorded the Netted Gems
of Deschutes county at the national
show, Coe is confident that the ex
hibit will be successful In Portland.
A third exhibit is to be made at the
Spokane Potato show in December.
