Lnvn inland falls, six miles up the

lunch with the party and supervise

At the Collins place on the river
less than three miles' below Uend, is
a small orchard well laden with
apples. The trees arc from seeds
planted more than 14 years ago and
for the mst seven years they have
never missed a crop. These apples,
ftccdliugs though they c, arc of
very fair quality nnd size and they
know no sort of disease or vermin.
The impression that fruit cannot be
yrown in this region receives a hard
jolt every time anybody chooses to
try his hand at the business. Prob
ably 110 orchard 111 the Willamette
valley would do better under the
same circumstances tlinu this one
at the old Collins place
Against the Road Change.
Tile viewers appointed for the
ehallgc in the Prilicville road came
out Monday evening and wentocr
the proposed route Tuesday. Coun
ty Surveyor C. A. Graves is made
by, law one of the viewers. The
others, in this case, were G. Spring
cr, the Haystack horse raiser, and
J. W. Elliott, a farmer from up the
Ochoco. A preliminary line was
run over the proposed route and
from that examination the viewers
reached the conclusion thatit would
be inadvisable to make the change
asked for. .
Two reasons are alleged for this
conclusion on the part of the view
ers. The first is that to grant the
change as proposed would be to
lenve the Forest road hung iu the
'air, no provision being made for
carrying it through to the proposed
route of the Pritieville road.of which
' it is a branch. There would be n
j distance of something like half a
mile between the new Prilicville
I rond and the beginning of the For
'cst road, and, travelers in thus coun
try not Being provided with wings,
' it would be difficult to span that in
terval without' any sort of roadway.
Second, the proposed change would
1 have the effect of barring the pub
lic from a quarter of a mile of Des
chutes river bank, which is regard
1 cd as of great value. The road as
it now lies skirts the bank, of the
I river for that distance. As pro
posed it would simply lead down to
the river and end. The viewers
deemed the water privilege too
precious to admit of a change that
should materially reduce it.
These are the reasons that ac
tuated the viewers. The decision
is understood to be unanimous.
The official report rejecting the pro
posed change will be filed with the
county court at its next session nnd
it is presumed that that will end the
present attempt to adjust matters
for the canal route of the Pilot
Uutte Development Company. '
Toward Building A Church.
Dr. W.' S. Holt, of Portland.
Presbyterian missionary for Oregon,
will piench iu the Bend schoolhousc
Saturday evening and Sunday
morning nud evening. Dr. Holt

visability of organizing n Presby
terinu church here. 1 f he concludes

SIM'S IN SCHOOL DIFFICULTY.
Damage Suit DismissedElection
Contest Initjtutcd.
The damage case of D. V. Steffa
against J. M. Lawrence for deten
tion cf the Iwoks and records' flf the
office of achool clerk of the jBcnd
district wan argued on demurrer be
fore County Judge Biggs, at Prilic
ville, Inst Friday, and dismissed,
with cost taxed against the plain
tiff. The demurrer 'was to the ef
fect that a damage suit is not n
proper proceeding to determine the
right of the parties to the office
they both claim, and, inasmuch as
the title to office is a matter to be
determined by the circuit court, the
demurrer bore directly on the qucs
tiou of jurifcdiction. Judge Biggs
agreed with the view presented by
Attorney M. E. Brink and dis
missed the case. G. W Barnes
represented the plaintiff.
In order to get at the core of the
matter and reach a conclusion that
will be definite and conclusive, an
election contest was instituted Wed
nesday, that being the last day such
a proceeding could be brought.
Millard Triplett contests the elec
tion of John Steidl as director and
J. M. Lawrence contests the,elcc
tiou of D. F. Steffa ns clerk, on the
ground that seven or more of the
votes cast for the contestees were
illegal and that throwing out those
ballots left the clear majority of the
legal votes for the contestants.
Deputy Sheriff Combs came out
from Prilicville Wednesday and
served notice on each of the contes
tees. The hearing of this ca.se is to
be before Judge Bradshnw in cham
bers, nt The Dalles, July 27, a week

, The whole question nt issue, so
far as the title to the respective
offices is concerned, is expected to
be determined then.
