Hampton, our popular schoolmaster, visited at Princvillc last .Sunday. A jwrty of young ladies comjwscd of the Miw.es Marion WicM, Iva West, Maude Vnudevert and Mary Uiley visited Ovid Kilcy's ranch Monday. Mr I. D. Wiast, accomnnIed by his daughter Pauline, left for Priuc villc ycAtcnlny, where the young lady will submit to nu cxniuiuatiou by an oculist, her eyes having lx:cn nffected with n slight weakness of late. The Reception Saloon, Shaniko, oilers the most tempting induce ments to timber locators going into the woods. The very best brands of whiskies, such as Cyrus Noble, Old I'cppcr, Hunter Baltimore Rye and other standard goods, always to be had here. Call nt the Recep tion. The Misses Maud Vnndcrpool and Htlicl Phillibcr returned home to l'riuevillc on Monday, after a .so journ of three weeks nt the former's homestead at Lava. Mrs. Med Vuudcrpool came out Sunday to take them home. The young lad ies' complexions were colored the peculiarly delightful tint of second hand sole leather, each of them hud gained ten pounds in weight, and except for htrcss of circumstances neither would have gone home for" another two weeks. The Bulletin office staff have ac quired a brand-new, spick-and-span hash-making outfit, and as soon as we nre .settled we invite every young lady in the neighborhood to come and get home pointers in' the culin ary art. The alitor is a cook of several years' experience on the U. S. geological survey through Ore gon, Washington, Idaho and Mon tana, and can boil beans artistically , nt any altitude, while the foreman is n lightning dishwasher and de lights the neighbors with his feats of jugglery with mi nxe. Dr. II. W. Hubbard nud his fnth-cr-iu-lnw, Mr. Chase, enme up on their wheels from Shnuiko on Sun day, returning next day. These gentlemen live nt Buckley, Wash., in the timber !elt of the Sound country, nud nfter resting from the . hard trip were in n highly appre ciative mood in contemplating our vast resources nnd beautiful climate especially when told we were only in the fringe of the timber, They intended taking up n timber claim while here, but finding that the available claims were some distance away, gave up the project for the present and left for home. there will be' no trouble for business, ELKINS 2b KING. Clms. Graves, of Odell, Klamath county, passed through Bend on Monday on his way home. Mrs. Abel, the cook at the Pilot Butte Inn, has ken laid up with a touch of the grip this week. Mr. A. K. Mnthews of Princvillc passed through this place Wednes day on his way to Silver Lake. Walt Vandcvcrt, the stage man, was in Bend t couple of days this week, looking up business for his compnny. The Bend Iward of trade adjourn ed to H. W. Reed's office Wednes day night, to accommodate the vis iting clergymen. Mr. D. V. Steffa, he of the afore mentioned multifarious occupations, inountcd his high-stepping bronc and lit out for Princvillc Tuesday. Mr. StcfTa has added equestrianism to his analogue of accomplishments, but he cats his meals from the man tel now. Mr. Michael Morrison and wife, of Grand Rapids, Minn., arrived nere wcuncsuay. as soon as a house cau be obtained they will go to housekeeping nud make Bend their permanent home. At present they are stopping at the Pilot Butte Inn. Mat Kline, Stcidl & Reed's mill construction foreman, left on Sun day on n six weeks' visit to his old home in Bcmidji, Minn. It is per haps of interest to the reader to an nounce that it is rumored here per sistently that he will not return to Bcud alone. Revs. Clark and Hotchkiss, both Methodist ministers, held a delight ful meeting in the schoolhousc on Wednesday evening, upon their re turning from Sisters, where they had been holding revival meetings. 'I MM n,,Mltllll..n. l4kak Mi n. !... ft t. hi, 1UH.HUUUV.V Jit it wuo uiuuciliic- ly large and the services greatly appreciated. Visitors ure always welcome at our office. The proverbial latch Btring hangs outward. Like the singed cat, externally our quarters are not so very attractive, but in side there is a wnrm, cheerful fire, nice furniture, a dog, two or three empty bottles, and two good-looking young men, both of whom nre on the market, Come iu, The Orcgonian of the 6tU con tains a half-tone portrait of Miss Anna M. Lang, receiver of The Dalles Land office, and the only woman laud official in the United Stntes, The half-tone is n good one, but it doesn't do the lady jus tice. It is net nearly so good looking ns the original. We will leave this assertion to the judgment of anyone in The Dalles, us once Miss Eliza McKcown, who is sojourning at the Pilot Butte Inn, enjoyed a pleasant trip up river last Sunday. It if, rumored that C. I. Winnck, the Princvillc drug man, will short ly establish a branch of his drug and furniture store in Bend. Dad West fumigated nnd cleaned up the bunk house yard on Mon day, getting it ready for the com ing canal diggers who will occupy its confines. When you arc nt Shaniko, re member the Pioneer Saloon is the place to get fine liquors. The best is none too good for you, nud we dispense the very best. John D. Rockefeller Li worth some $300,000,000, but he hasn't a hair on his head and is unable to enjoy anything in the shape of food but crackers nud milk. Gentlemen over 21 and under 50, look out for John Sizcmorc. John is road supervisor for this district, and he s looking for able-bodied men of all nationalities. The family of Ccorgc Brustcr hoit.se is expected to reach here from Dakota today. Mr. Brustcr hou.se, who has been here for some time, went to Shaniko lait week to meet them. They will make this village their permanent home. A large, up-to-date store, with Princvillc prices, will be a most wel come addition to Bcud business. The store will probably be opened in two oMhrce weeks, in churge of Mr. A. II. Grant, formerly of the B. S. & L. Co.'s store at Hay Creek. According to dispatches Judge Tnft is coming forward as a presi dential possibility. It will be a hard thing for anyone to dislodge President Roosevelt from the top round of the political ladder and popularity with the masses. There is little question, however, but that the corporations will try to down him, by fair or foul means. He is too strenuous for them. The "smallpox" cases at Staats' have become convalescent. There seems to be some doubt as to what the complaint is. It appears to be a sort of Gentian measles, and has grip-like symptoms. However, as it lasts but a day or two it cannot inflict any damage on the patient that is, it won't spoil his beauty nor keep him on his back more than three days and so it cannot be re garded as dangerous, or even ser ious, All fears, therefore, of its being smallpox may be dismissed. A large and strenuous dog fight between Kennedy's Ox and Airs. Drake's Cub took place at noon on Tuesday. After three rounds of severe barking and side-stepping, both contestants fell off the porch in front of the P. B. D. Co.'s store, aud each dog took hold of the oth er's ear with his teeth nnd pulled the other way. The fight was de clared a draw after some ten min utes of canine cussing, and Ken nedy was kept busy for half a day extracting wool from his Ox's teeth. A party of young people of the village were delightfully entertained by Miss Marion Wicst at her home last Saturday eveuing. Music was the principal feature of the evening, Miss Wiest and Mr. Kennedy play ing some excellent numbers. ' The editor of Tim Buluvtin (who nt this writing is absent) was to par ticipate but being slightly indisposed was unable to favor the company with that soulstirriug ballad, "The Big Rock Candy Mountain"-, for which he was down on the pro gram. After light refreshments had been served the young people departed, voting Miss Wiest a charming hostess. The guests were the Misses Ivn West, Mary Riley aud Messrs. A, II. Kennedy, Don P, Rea uud George Sclilccht. 1 1 Mr. Hunter took a party of tim ber seekers to Princvillc Wednesday. Miss Etta Prine and Mr. Win. Hardin were married at Princvillc on Wednesday evening of this week, at the home of the bride's parents. The Bulletin extends its heartiest congratulations and wish es the happy young couple all the sweetness there is in married life. Fred Wallace, former editor of the Antelope Herald, postmaster at Antelope, stage agent at Shaniko, and general all-around utility man, will take charge of the Hay Creek store. The B. S. & L. Co. may not realize it, but they have cer tainly secured a diamond in the rough. The Misses Lizzie Kctcbum.Effie and Maude Dobbs, under the chap cronogc of Guy Lafollct, are in the neighborhood. The young people arc from Prinevilie, aud they nre having a grand time fishing in the limpid icincss of Oregon's famous trout stream. Samuel Hodges died on Wednes day evening in Princvillc, at the home of his brother, L. N. Hodges. Mr. Hodges was in his usual good health up to Sunday, when he was stricken with pneumonia. Typhoid symptoms soon appeared, and he gradually sank, breathing his last Wednesday evening. We understand that evervbodv at Win. Boguc's ranch on the Little Deschutes has been on the sick list for the last week. The usual cry of smallpox was heard along the road, causing divers fumigating and disinfecting processes at the many stopping places, and an end less amount of worry and anxiety among the isolated portion of our citizens. And after all it happens that it was only the grip-measles. From January 1, 1902, .to March 31, 1903 a period of 15 months the population of Oregon has in creased more than 44,000. Oregon inJune, 1900, had a population of 4x3i'56 Natural increase is about 2 per cent a year. Adding the immigration in the 19 months from June, 1900, to January 1, 1902, which was probably not less than 15,000, it may safely set down that Oregon's population today exceeds 510,000. Orcgonian. The people in rhis vicinity who have been patronizing the Deschutes postofficc ought to combine and make a large-sized, weU-registercd kick which will be felt in Washing ton aud try to induce the postal au thorities to institute a money order office here. There is certainly enough business here to justify proceedings of tills sort. It would be money iu the postmasters pock et ana save a great deal of nnxiety on the part of the people here. We are in receipt of the Harney County News,' which contains an ngonfzing disquisition on "Time." It is couched in the most awful "nightmareistic" language, and we can cheerfully guarantee that one application will cure any one of the nine cases of smallpox at Shaniko. We have seen people who had more time than money, but did not know it affected them this way. People in Harney have always had the reputation of using their time to the best advantage; but if this is the way iu which old Father Time treats them they had better movejto Bend, where they can occupy their spare time by going into the woods and listen to the pine cones hit the ground with a dull thud. It might occupy their minds. " Notice. All citizens and patrons of the school are requested to be present at n meeting to be held at the school house Saturday evening, April nth, at 7:30 for the purpose of selecting the books for the library, Arvw C. Hamwon, Almost a Serious Accident. On Tuesday last, while Ovid Riley bod a party of three men building a bridge across the Deschutes five miles north of Bend, there happened an accident that might have proven fatal had it not been for some phenomenal quickness on the part of the par ticipants. It seems that a rope broke which was holding the heavy boat used in constructing the bridge, and the boat crashed into the bent that had just been set up. , Frank Glass happened to be on the bent, while Ovid Riley, Milt Young and Robt. Bowser were in the boat. The jar of the boat loosened the bent from its fastening and it toppled over and started down stream; a stringer struck Mr. Glass and the boat and capsized it, tumbling the four men into the river, and the current carried the boat between two big rocks, stand ing it on end and holding it in that position. We draw the veil over subsequent events. Suffice it to say the four men escaped with a chill. Some uncharitable persons do say that Ovid was looking at a Bend blossom across the river when the accident happened, and that he failed to notice that the rope had parted'; but for this we cannot vouch. At any rate, a bath in the icy Deschutes no doubt made him cast his eyes elsewhere for the time being. R. Bond whiskey is to be had at the Pioneer Saloon, Shaniko, J. J. Wiley, proprietor.
