Local Events of (he Week. Win. Stnats brought n load of freight from l'rincvillc Wednesday. Dill Hrock came down from I,uvn Sntuiday, where he had lccu cruis ing for a week or more. Judd Palmer, the newspajwr man from the neighlwring towu.site, vis ited in l'rincvillc Tuavlnyand Wed nesday of this week. Al Richardson, an old-time friend of Donald StufiVs, arrived in Haul Sunday from Chicago. Mr. Rich ardson will locate here. Dad West, Hcnd's enterprising carver of meats, has just received a fine lot of butter, fresh eggs, on ions, parsnips, potatoes, and other delicacies too numerous to men tion. Mr. Horncy I.cwls, the poet and a'rtist from Wet Weather Springs, paid us a visit last Sunday. Dur ing his sojourn in the woods Mr. Lewis has composed several ryth mical bunches of Kuglish, among which one called "My Little Dog Han" is a gem, both in sentiment and construction. Miss Mary Riley of the Pilot IHittc Inn was the happy recipient of a flue piano today. The piano came in with a freight-wagon load of machinery for Reed & Steidl's mill, and from now on sweet music and barber shop minors will per vade the atmosphere in the neigh lxrhood of the Pilot Unite Inn. When the magnificent mineral and timlcr resources of Central Oregon Inigin to be developed, an era of prosperity without n preced ent on the Pacific slope is sure to follow. Then we will have busi ness sufficient to develop railway facilities equal to the ideals of D.M. C. Gault, and other gouty webfoot kickers, and Palmer of Hetul, who would knock our portage appro priation "because the scalp bounty existed" and "because it does not exist." Moro Observer. Tie your dog up unless you want him assassinated or shanghaied. Owing to the fact that smallpox germs can be carried in the shaggy coats of dogs, the city council has ordered all dogs found on the streets after today to be summarily dis posed of by the marshal, Antelope Herald, In view of the smallpox scare at Prlueville, this Is sage ad vice, although there Is no real dan ger of this disease until someone in the settlement actually breaks out, Hut there is nothing like using or dinary precaution, and as there are two dogs in Bend for every man, woman and child it might be well to make a general cleanup, t ORDERS Messrs. Twohy and McKcowan, two Minnesota gentlemen who arc going into business here, have ar rived, unci arc making preparations fot their building and homes. The Reception Saloon, Shaniko, offers the most tempting induce ments to timber locators going into the woods. The very best brands of whiskies, such as Cyrus Noble, Old Pepper, Hunter Baltimore Rye and other standard goods, always to be had here. Call at the Recep tion. Chas. Brock, who received the contract for painting 'the Bend schoolhousc, is at work, and the building is assuming an ethereal white apicaraucc. It will be a great improvement and will be the means of preserving this training ground for our future presidents, congress men, etc. Mr. Al Richardson of Chicago Sunday made a close personal foot-to-ground insjxrction of a large portion of the P. B. D. Co.'s pro ject for reclaiming the desert. He is well pleased with the proposition and the country, and will write a descriptive treatise of his sojourn lugs entitled, "Trekking Across the Veldt; or I Had No Water, and the Little Grains of Sand Made Mighty Poor Walking, but Very Pleasant Land." A familiar sight these days is the bedraggled fisherman with his ten dollar fly rod or the small boy with his ten cent cane pole coming in after a two-hour tussle, loaded with a string of speckled beauties. Koch seems to have about the same good luck, regardless of what his outfit cost him, and each to take the same keen enjoyment in the sport. It is n veritable paradise for the fisher man. The more trout" you get out of one place the more there seems to be there next time you go. Miss Marion Wicst's 18th birth day was celebrated at her home on Wednesday evening, in the shape of a very pleasant surprise jxirty in stigated by several of the young lady's friends. Miss Wiest, Mr. Schlecht and Mr. Kennedy fur nished the music for the evening, Curds with the name of an animal on each were passed around to the various guests, together with a stick of chewing gum, with instructions to chew the same and make of it as good a figure of the animal named on the card as possible. In this gum-chewing contest Mr. Schlecht wou first prize. The evening's1 en tertainment closed with a little dance, after which the very tired merry makers departed for their homes wishing the young lady many happy returns of the 'day. The firm of Stoats & Dcnnison has dissolved partnership, Mr. Staats will conduct the business at the old stand. When you arc at Shaniko, re member the Pioneer Saloon is the place to get fine liquors. The best is none too good for you, and wc dispense the very bast. The Kastcr services last Sunday evening were very well attended. The young people in charge had prepared a very nice and appro priate program for the occasion. Howard Dillon, a veritable giant and only 24 years old, was the first victim of the smallpox scourge, and probably no more will follow, as we hear the disease is well In hand and completely Isolated. G. W. Higbic and Win. Rock wood, of Grand Rapids, Minn., ar rived in Bend on the 12th instant. They arc delighted with the pros lects, climate and situation of Bend and arc going to make this place their home. Sammy Vigncux of the often vanquished but always there- Portland Browns is shortly to issue n book of eleven or twelve chapters, entitled " 'Tis Anticipation Lends Enchantment to the View; or, De feats I Have Met." A large load of machinery for Reed & Steidl's sawmill arrived to day, somewhat overdue, from Shan iko. It consisted of a large planer, and some minor machinery. Wc will soon have plenty of boards for our houses and sawdust for our goats and morning meals. The Review says there is scarlet fever in town now. This is really worse than the smallpox, being more severe 011 an average than the latter disease, and should demand much greater care and skill on the part of the physician to prevent its spread, although the public does not seem to think so. The appearance of a man clad in overalls, armed with an oil can and a large monkey wrench, tinkering around the P. B. D. Co.'s mill and brushing the rust and cobwebs from the same, leads some of the more curious and suspicious folk of Bend to believe that there will be some thing doing at that sawihill in the very near future. Several loads of lumber have been hauled in from Squaw Creek by men who intend to erect build ings here and who could not wait for the two mills to begin sawing. Mr. Aubrey has his furniture here, and expects to have his saloon in full blast some time next month. Messrs. McKeown & Twohy will also have their place in operation about the same time. Both places will be located in Deschutes. It seems n shame not to be able to mention Mr. Stcffa and his many accomplishments in this issue, so wc will state that fie is at present prepared to take boarders by the week, month, day, meal or year. His boarding house is located just across Kast 44th street in the city of Lytle, from a lurgejuniperstump which was sawed of! last week by Prof. Hampton. Don't forget the number, 711 Kast 44th. You can't miss it. Up to the time of going to press wc have heard of four deaths from the smallpox epidemic which has beoti ravaging the stage route from Suanikoto Prineville. Two men have died at Shaniko, and there have been two deaths at Prineville, presumably of smallpox. There arc a dozen or so cases now in quar antine at Shaniko, some at Antel ope, and the Lord only knows how many are laid out with this disease or the Shaniko poison oak at Prine ville; and the worst of it is that it saems to be working south. May be the Waudering Jew couldn't Stand Shaniko and is making his centennial tour southwa'rdto a bet ter clime. "t ,., News comes from Loudon of the reduction in price of that marvel ouii metal radium. Heretofore the the price per pound has been about $1,000,000. It is reassuring to learn that it may now be had for $900,000 n pound. The reduced price Is, however, not likely to cause a run on the market, for there ia at present in existence in all the world not over two pounds of the precious material. In the last three years not more than one and one-quarter pounds have been manufactured. Even this is not absolutely pure, for pure radium does not exist as a metal. Only its salts arc known. Current Literature. New U. S. Commissioner for Bend. On April 9 Judge Bellinger ap pointed J. M. Lawrence of Port laud to be United States Com missioner at Bend, Crook county, at the same time announcing that he would appoint no more com missioners at present. He docs not believe there is need for so many of those officers as have been doing business in Oregon, and un til it is shown conclusively that there is urgent need for them, no more will be appointed. The judge takes the view that local pride and the enterprise of speculators is fre quently a larger factor In the de mand for commissioners than a true desire to facilitate public business. He docs not think the public inter est requires many of them. He is showered with applications for ap pointments, which he will not make, and he wishes the applicants to take notice of this fact. Bend is so situated as to make a careful commissioner there a material con venience for a wide stretch of coun try. Mr. Lawrence is a well known newspaper man, recently resigning as railroad editor of the Orcgonian to accept the secretary ship of the chamber of commerce. The judge has the power of ex ercising discretion in these appoint ments, and in view of the house- cleaning the land inspectors have been conducting the post few months, he is mush inclined to re duce the number of commissioners. It has been found that various abuses have come into the land ad ministration by reason of the in competence or dishonesty of com missioners. For this reason ap pointments are now very closely scrutinised, and there must be the fullest assuance of competence and fidelity before they will pass muster. And even with unexceptionable ap plicants, many places will be with out commissioners, which they have had for a time, because the judge is convinced there is no real need for the appointments. The chief business conducted by the commissioners is in connection with public land entries and proofs. Orcgonian. tlond-MaJc Philosophy. Wc may not realize it fully, but we are sweeping rapidly into the Woman's age. We do not refer to the number of her years, for the genius of costum ers, coutouricrs and complexion specialists has set them at one score and 15 at the outside. But the world has passed through the Stone age, the Bronze age, the Iron age, the Coal age, and so on, and now it is the Age of Woman. A woman lawyer in Ohio has made a valiant defense of a lady burglar who took a lady pal and robbed the residence of a lady banker. In St. Louis two lady truck-drivers drove proudly through a cordon of striking men truck-drivers. In Kansas a lady marshal arrest ed a lady bunkoman, or bunko- woman, and the lady mayor fined her like a lady, In Texas a lady cowboy is 'win ning renown, and In Oregon a lady lumberman Is gaining health and wealth. In New Jersey a lady preacher instructs a satisfied congregation, and in Kentucky a lady distiller is managing a large business New York has several lady cus toms officers in the employ of the government, and the man cook of a Michigan hotel wants an injunction to prevent the lady landlord from discharging him. What does' it portend? What docs it signify? O woman, in our hours of ease, uncertain, coy and hard to please; what prospect docs the future hold for men when your attack's so bold? Chicago Tribune.
