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

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

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 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.
