Plant anil llulldlnj; Tolnlly Destroyed Value $1000, No Inniirnncc. Pire destroyed the Deschutes Echo iicw.H(Ktcr plant and building early Thursday morning. The Ion on both in near $iooo. There wmi no insurance on cither. The news p.icr plant was still owned by A. C. mid II. J. Palmer, the transfer to George Schlccht not having been completed. 'The building twlongcd to W. II. Stnitli. The ncvspfijer loss is about f 800 and the building wn"vulucd 'nt about ?aoo. De Htrtictiou of both is complete. It might be potiiblc to use the press nguin, but the cost of repairs would not be much less than the price of a new machine. How the fire .started is a mystery. It was discovered bv Gleiini Marsh. Richard King and W. II. Stunts about the miiiic time, about 1:30 o'clock, and then it was 50 far ad vanced that there was no possibil ity of extitiguibhiiig it. The llamcs had just broken out and the whole interior of the print shop was a roaring furnace. At cither cud was a .small room. One was used by the Hutchinson ditch men to store tools mid dish as and it was locked. The other served as an office for the print shop. H.J. Pul mer, who had some horse feed stored there, had sent that word he cxcctcd to drive down from his homestead and asked tiiat that room be left unlocked at night so he might get the feed if he should arrive in the night. So that room wns unlocked. The Marsh boys got in and managed to take out a wooden table and an armful of pajHir before the flame occupied the room. Hut the smoke wus .so dense that they could not see, or they might have suved au Oliver typewriter, which was easily at hand. The room nt the other cud wus not entered before the fire oc cupied it. The residence of Richard King Was less than ten feet away from tlie printing office and it took heroic work to save that from burning. The end of the residence was hcorched black and windows broken by the heat. While the men were beating off the fire the women folks carried out most of the furniture. Hut there was plenty of help for the bucket brigade and the exposed end of the residence was kept drenched nud finally saved. John Dloss, like a veteran fire fighter, planted him self in the blistering heut between the two buildings and kept water on the smoking dwelling, which, but for tlmt act, would undoubt edly have caught fire. In half an hour the danger wns past as the ! King, lllltl arO VillllJg to meet you all It once there will bc no rouble ELKINS Sb KING. OREGON. print shop wjts reduced to a smnll pile of embers. Mr. Hchlecht knew nothing of the fire until 6:30 in the morning, wli.-u John Illoss notified him at his 1 tent. He had been ut work in the elite the night Iwlorc until 10:30. About 9 in the evening he had buttled two copies of thcOrcgoniau I in the stove, an air-tight henter. That made a hot fire for a minute but there was no wood in the stove and it was not known that there was anything about the .stove that could take and hold fire. There was 110 ceiling in the building nud where the stovepic went through the roof it was not nearer than four iuclicH to wood. The Bulletin plant was put at the disosal of the Echo for nny ser vice that could be rendered. Hut its facilities were not equal to get ting up an additional newspaper as soon u wns desired and Messrs. Schlccht and Palmer wont to Prine ville this moiniug to sec what ar rangements for issuing the Kcho could be made there. BUND MHRCANTILIJ OPUNINtl. Format Dedication of the lllg New Store on Wall Street. The most notable social and com mercial event of the season was the formal opening last Tuesday of the Heud Mercantile Company's new store. The Bend Orchestra sun- j plied a choice programme of music for afternoon and evening, the eve- 'uiiig music being for dancing in the 1 hall over the store. A crowd of people wus there to enjoy the after noon selections and look through the new store. Of course the at tendance was large in the evening. It was a novelty in this country to see show windows dressed out in metropolitan style. In this feature the enterprise of Manager Grant and the skill and good taste of his lady friends showed to great advan tage. The stock of goods displayed in the new store far surpassed any thing ever before seen m the Des chutes valley. It was fresh and new, and it embraced wares partic ularly suited to the needs of (his section. In variety and quality it compared favorably with many Portland establishments. The now building 30x60 feet is divided below into two rooms, the front room being for the general merchandise stock nnd the rear room for the coarser wares. All the furniture and fixtures are new and made for this store. The up per story is fitted for n lodge room. The building has the new rubber oid roof, is painted white nnd is quite an ornament nud a credit to the towm WORK ON THE DITCH PLANS AND PROGBESS OF PILOT DUTTE DliVaOPMIiKT CO. Irrlgnllon Hnlcrprlue I liclnjr PiiMtctl Willi Hnerky, 'I Itoufcli HoihcUi.iik Yet Dcneri Jb on Coureo f Rail rond for Central Oregon. The plans of the Pilot Butte De velopment Company tl.U vear tire to build an irrigation canal from a Kiint in tlib Deschutes river about three mile above .Bend out in a northeasterly direction through the dry country east of town. A brunch will provide a watfli" supply for the town and it will ulso irrigate a large area and open it to immediate pro dticlivcticKSi For a little more tlmn a mile nud n quarter of the cnnnl, at its upjxir end, flume Will be required to carry the waten The flew mill to saw lumber needed in now Heating com pletion at a IKiillt bear the lower efid of the flume. It will have a capacity of alx)Ut 30,000 feet of lumber daily. It will not do to titc the lumber n.i it comes from the saw, liowuver. 1 ne lumber must be dried Aomewllat and dressed, " order that there may Ik the least possible warping or loss of water by reason of ihiporfrct materials. It will Hot lH 11 difficult piece of en gineering to construct the Hume after everything is ready fo: it. The preliminary operations are what consume the time. It is impracticable to put force of men at digging ditch below the lower cud of the Hume, bcunUsc ol the lack of woter. After the new crop of hay nnd feed shall be available, and when the water can le carried along with the camp, fol lowing the ditch ns it is dug. the work will progross rapidly and economically. To provide u chan nel below the flume will be com paratively easy work. Part of the distance natural clmnuels will be followed and the water will wash its own way. It is expected that the water will be delivered below the Bend towusitc considerably be fore the end of the, year. The flume will 1 built on a nither sharp descent and its capa city will be 160 cubic feet a second, or sufficient to reclaim 15,000 to 20,000 acres of desert. The ditch will, of course, take cure of all the water received from the flume. Something as to the course of this canal will depend 011 the railroad developments of the season. If by the time the Hume is completed there shall be indication of imme diate railroad activity In this region, the main channel will be brought down the river to accommodate the jxioplc who will gather about the industries brought by transnorta tiou facilities. But if the railroad But if the railroad I question shall then be in 110 better shape than it is now, a lateral will lie brought down the river nnd the main cuual will le led farther east of town to reclaim a large area of ag ricultural laud that can be made immediately productive. The de- sire is to Imve this improvement so that it will do the most good from the beginning. It is to be done in a manner that will bring the larg est possible good to the commun ity. Ami this requires carcltil planning before the work is exe cuted, not afterward. While every effort has been made to push the enterprise and every thing is now ready for nctive work, more can be accomplished in the fall than in midsummer in prosecuting Mich work as canal building. The cost of supplies will be less, the weather will be more comfortuble for man and beast, mid in this case the con struction forces will be able to take the water they need along with them as they work back from the river. The letter of the law and contract might be complied with by simply expending a certain sum on the reclamation work this year, but Mr. Drake's idea is to make that expenditure fit a definite scheme of development that is of great impor tance to the whole Upper Deschutes Valley. When everything is ready n suf ficient force of men will be put on the work to carry it through with out delay. The cnnnl will deliver Deschutes water at the Bend town site befpre the end of this year and a large area that is now desert will bc under the canal and ready to grow crops next season. In the past week half a d07.cn men have lecii put at work clear ing the right-of-wav through the canyon for the flume. All trees within reaching distance of the flume will be cut away and n space 25 feet wide immediately tin-' derneath the flume will be cleared of all combustible matter, even the Iiillc needles will lc raked up and mrlied. This force will be grad ually added to until the actual con struction is under way. Local Events of (he Veek. Mux Lucddcniann of Antelope spent Sunday in Bend. D. V.

Schlccht, a brother of Editor Schlccht of the Echo, is in Bend from Ashland, Wis., this week. He is visiting his brother and finding out how much easier it is to kill trout in a first-class Ore gon stream than in those of Wis consin. Dr. Schlccht will remain in Bend about ten days. J. N. Hammond, who lias had charge of the Cline Falls Power Company's ranch on the west side of the Deschutes about 20 miles north of Bend, was a' visitor to The Bulletin office Saturday evening last.

Cornctt came up from the north end of his line Shaniko ion Wednesday, and yesterday he ami .Max wurzwcilcr took a rig and left for the fish trap on the Little Deschutes 30 miles south. They took with them half a doxen pitchforks and three gunny sacks, which are 10 uc uiiiizcu in captur ing and retaining the big haul of lake trout which they expect to bring in. A panther's cry from some point near the P. H. D. Co.'s bridge 1 roused many people from leaden slumbers Thursday morning. The beast put so much expression into his yell that horses and cattle sought the protection of human be ings, coming up close to the houses where Uieir owners live. The com motion ceased after a few minutes. Nobody saw the cougar or' was able to locate him accurately.
