Tho race program includes races of ail kinds, tho young riders and their mounts coming in for a num ber of events. Tho purses have been nmdo larger and more entries are expected ' to be made. New buildluKs have been erected, a new track built, and this is said to bo one of tho best in tho state. Another feature of the associa tion's grounds is a new grand stand. Tho soats have been taken from tho old standond installedin the new building, which was erected farther itouth along side of tho new track. A new floor has been laid In the old building, and this makes an Ideal place for dancing. It is proposed that water be piped from a large spring above the fair KTounds. -If this Is done there need Lo no anxiety regarding a plentiful supply of water on the part of any one. As It now is there are new pumps installed on the grounds, but with the addition of water from the tpring water In plenty will be made available.

Disciples of Izaak Walton are not meeting with much success in the Deschutes just now. The river is filled with moss and the trout find good feed on insects inhabiting it. A good rain would have a tendency to loosen the moss, and when this is done fishing will improve. LINOTYPED Shipping Sheep Guano As mentioned in The Times last week, our new linotype Is now at work and this issue of the paper is printed from slugs cast by it. You will notice a clearness of type, the new face and the difference in size of the letters. " We herewith append a brief de scription of the new machines workings, and strive to show Just how the type Is made. We trust we will be able to so elucidate the rami fications of the machine that they will be plain to all: In form the linotype is not like any other machine. It is in reality the assemblage of four distinct ma chanles or parts, so arranged that they work in harmony the maga zine, the assembling mechanism, the casting mechanism and the dis tributing mechanism. The maga zine is on top of the machine sloping from back to front at an an gle of 37 degrees, and consisting of two brass plates placed together with a BDace of about of an inch between. The two inner sur faces arc cut with 02 grooves or chaniiels running the up and down way of the magazine for carry ing the matrices. Tho matrices slide down these channels on edge, with the. face or punched side down and the V-end extending toward the i upper part of the magazine. Each one of these channels is of suffi cient length to contain 20 matrices.' The Linotpye matrices are made of braes. Its thickness varies with the size of the character stamped upon it. The teeth which appear in V at the top of tho matrix are used in the distribution of the matrices. Matrices are made in both one- and two-letter i. c., the one-letter matrix has but one character assembled liner of mtrices; after that the machine urn automatically. The kejbord is made up of 90 keys, which act directly on the mat rices in their channels in the maga- The slightest touch on the key- H.. N. Dodge, Wapinitia rancher, was taken into custody by Assistant Water Master Wilhelm la-t Saturday who claimed Dodge had been in terfering with a ditch, with water under state control. He was taken to The Dalles and held untin Monday morning, when he was given an examination be fore Justice Meredith. The only charge laid against the rancher was that of tampering with a headgate, to which the defendant pleaded guilty. To satisfy the insulted maj- j esty of the law the justice imposed a tine of 125.00 and costs, which amounted to $55.00" in all. The arrest of Mr. Dodge is a se quel to a situation which has con fronted many ranchers all over Juniper Flat for many moons. Since the first of July Mr. Dodge, and many of his neighbors, have been practically without water for their stock and domestic uses. The situ ation had become so irksome that Mr. Dodge took matters into his own hands in 4order to secure at least a small measure of the needed aqua pura for his stock. Uuless something is done to in sure more water on the Flat dras tic measures may Le resorted to, and if this is done some interesting de velopments may be expected, and that very soon.

LINOTYPED PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGMENT Effort of L. B. Kelly in Securing . Water Greatly Appreciated ..... T. Leland Brown, county water master, through the medium of The Times, makes public acknowledg ment of the valuable assistance given him by L.B. Kelly in obtaining water from the Pacific Power and Light company for use of the ranch ers on Wapinitia Plains. Mr. Brown states that it was thru the untiring efforts of Mr. Kelly that the power company was brought to the point of appropriating the water at this time. week loading cars with sheep guano, which will be shipped toHood River. This firm has contracts to furnish 50 cars of guano between now and fall. The guano is obtained from sheep corrals nearby, and there are many tons in each corral. LINOTYPED Many Visit FUh Pond. The Staats fish pond is becoming one of the show places of Maupin, and many people visit the site each day. Since releasing the brook trout last fall they have grown until most of them exceed the legal limit in size. LINOTYPED- More Wheat Coming In. Ranchers are beginning to haul bigger. loads of wheat to the ware houses in Maupin, about 2000 bushels arriving daily at the elevator of the Maupin - Warehouse . company. As soon as threshing has been computed the ranchers will be streaming into Maupin in an unbroken stream and hundreds of thousands of bushels of wheat mrketed here. LINOTYPED- The Chalmers and Renlck families spent Sunday at Keep's mill. While there the boys tried their luck at fishing in Clear creek with fair suc cess, each catching a few trout. letter has two characters punched on its edge. By an ingenious ar rangement either tho one-letter or two-letter matrix can be used at will. ' . Tho spaccband, which -is usesd to separate tho words in a line and at the same time "justify" the line to the end of the slug, consists of two steel wedges. One is about the size of and in form somewhat like matrix; the other about five inches long. The two are fastened to gether so that the long wedge will slide past the short one, and called blcevc. The short wedge has two lugs at the top which engage in grooves in the front and back jaw of the ele vator, so that when pressure is ap plied to the lower end of the wedge the short wedge is held in position between the matrices, and as the long wedge is forced upward, the thickness of the band or space in creases until the line is justified to its fullest length. .7'r' The assembling mechanism is the only part of the Linotype where the human mind is applied to the work of the machine. It is necessary for the eye to read the copy, and the mind, through the medium of the fingers, to translate the copy into zinc. buttons releases the matrix, which drops to the assembler belt and is carried swiftly to the a ssembler. W hen a word is assembled, the spaceband key is touched and a spaceband drops into the assembler. When the necessary matrices and spacebands to fill the line have been assembled, the operator Taiscs the assembler by pressing, the lever on the side of the keyborad. When the assembler reaches its highest point it automatically starts the machine and the matrices are transferred to the casting position. The casting mechanism consists of the melting pot, mold disk, mold, ejector, and trimming knives. When the line of matrices leaves the as sembler, they paw to a position in front of the moid disk. The disk makes one-quarter turn to the left, which brings the mold from tho ejecting position, where it stands while the machine is at rest, to the casting position. It then advances until the mold comes in contact with the matrices. The metal pot ad- vonces until the pot mouthpiece comes in contact with the back of mold, at this point the pump plunger descends and forces the metal into the mold and against the matrices. The pot then recedes, the mold disk withdraws from the matrices and makes three-fourths of a revolution to the left, stopping at the ejecting position from which it started. The slug is ejected and assembled m the galley. During the last revoltion of the disk the bottom of the slug is trim med off, and in the process of ejec tion the sides of the slug are trin med, so that when it drops into the galley the slug is a perfect line of type, ready for the form. After the slug has been cast the matrices are carried up to the second position, where they are pushed to the right, and the teeth in the V at the top of the matrices engage the groove in the distributor bar of the second elevator, which descends from the distribtor box at the same time that the matrices rise to the second transfer position. The second ele vator then rises toward the distrib utor box, taking the matrices with it but leaving the spacebands. These are then Bushed to the right and slide into the spaceband box to be used again. As the second elevator rises to ward the distributor shifter with its load of matrices, the distributor shifter lever moves to the left un til the elevator head has reached its place by the distributor box. It then moVi3back to tne r'Bnt ai,d pushes the matriu3 off the second elevatof distributor barlnio tle dis tributor box, where they meet the "matrix lift" and are lifted, one at a time, to the distributor screws and Jaw Bon Fractured Oa Year Ag Causes Man Much Paia The senior member of Linn & Son came to town last Friday for the the purpose having an infected jaw attended to. Mr. Linn had been suffering for some time with what he' supposed was a root of a tooth left in his jaw after having had an The water, question is one which has agitated our . people for many months. The Times has tried to keep all informed regarding the sta tus of the case, and this week has the opportunity of presenting the re port of State Engineer Luper, in which he finds for the East Maupin Water System, which company asked for surplus from the springs that supply this city with water. Mr. Lu per's report and findings follow: East Maupin is a small unincor porated town situated on the east side of the Deschutes river, directly across from the. larger and older town of Maupin. The East Maupin Water System is a corporation or ganized by the residents of East Maupin with the; object of enabling them to obtain a better water supply for se in the town, and to condemn the right-of-way. The water sought to be appropriated by the corpora tion is a portion of the flow of cer tain large springs, called Maupin . Springs, and situated across the river on the outskirts of the town of Maupin, on land owned by the con testant, Mrs. Arabelle Staats. Mr. Staats has owned the land for many years and since the founding of the townof Maupin, about 1900, has con structed a water system whereby a portion of the water of the springs has been usesd in operating two hy draulic rams which lift part of the water into a reservoir from which it is is piped and used by the town of Maupin for general municipal pur- " f t poses. Mrs. btaats alleges mat oy extraction made. Dr. Stoy,all made virtue of the fact that the water three X-ray photographs of the suf fering man's jaw, one of them show ing a crack in the bone extending a full inch in length, and also dis closed a piece of broken bone near the surface of the gum. Dr. Elwood fixed Mr. Linn up and sent him on his way rejoicing. LINOTYPED NATIONAL FORESTS CLOSED Forest Service Takes Precautions to Prevent Forest Fires Almost two and a half million acres of national forest land in Oregon and Washington have been closed this sumer'as an emergency forest fire measure, according to a forest service statement just issued. The statement gives as reasons for conditions starting early in the sea son, the large number of lightning fires, and the need for jireventing men-cause forest fires." Only areas of specially high hazard have been closed, which is relatively only a small portion of the total national forest area of 23 rises on her land, she is entitled to the full and exclusive enjoyment thereof, basing this claim upon the provisions of Section 5797 Oregon Laws; and claims she is entitled to a right to the entire flow from the springs to take care of anticipated needs by reason of growth of popu lation, and to insure the town suf ficient water supply in case of emer gency. We therefore have two is sues: First, is there a surplus of water from the springs over and above the reasonable needs of the city of Maupin? Second, if there is such a surplus, is it subject to appro priation by others than the owner of the lahd upon which the springs or iginate? The evidence discloses that the springs furnish a large flow of water over and above any quantity of water that has been used, or that could probably be usesd by the town of Maupin before a great number of years, if ever. Mrs. Staats has com pleted an appropriation of water un- ' der a permit issued by the state en- gineer, ana securea a milion acres m the two states.

If; however, there is a matrix in the line which was not designed to drop into one of the channels oper ated from the keyboard, it will be carried clear across the distributor bar and dropped into the last chan nel, and from there it will find its way to the sorts box. 1 The distribution of the matrices is the most wonderful part of the Linotype. The distributor will han dle the matrices day after day and week after week, taking the lines as they come, separating the matrices and dropping each one into its pro per channel without an error. It does its work automatically and re ouires very little attention. The manipulation of the Linotype Concluded on page four.) tied under her certificate. That as to whether the unappro priated water of these springs is sub ject to appropriation, there can be no qestion, considering the facts as disclosed by the evidence in the case. Maupin springs seem to be in fact a series of . springs issuing from the earth at several places no great dis tance apart and flowing down a steep hillside, and a short distance ,' from their head forming a well de fined channel.
