unil counsel of the Coluuibiu South
ern Railroad, cumc up from Port
land nud spent three days of this
week rusticnting in the neighbor
hood of Alluu's ranch, H uiiTas up
the Dchchutes. I hey drove in from
Shuuiko, going ns they pleased uud
camping whure night overtook
them. Mr. McCamiitit bus a .too
1 acre much in the Haystack coun
try, which they inspected on their
way up the valley. Saturday night
they slept in the open air at the
Swalley bridge and Mr. Ross says
when he awoke in the morning he
gacd into the mild red eye of a pig
that was contemplating the scene
with some emotion. At Allen's
they fished and trained about to
sec the country and get tired in new
places. Mr. Ross did not have
much success as a fisherman and
lie soon lost interest in that .sport.
On their return trip Wednesday
they crossed at Dutch John's bridge
to the west bank of the river, and
from that point Mr. McCamaut
fished down to Dend, catching a fine
string of trout, the finest of his life,
which he presented to Commission
er Lawrence. Thursday morning
the gentlemen left for the railroad
by way of l'riucville.
Mr. Ross is nttorncy for C. C.
Hutchinson in his irrigation enter
prises and he expresses the opinion
that arrangements will soon bccoin
lileted for a general advance along
irrigation lines in this region. This
was Mr. Ross's first visit to the
Deschutes valley and he was great
ly impressed with Hie country. Mr.
'McCnnmnt sws great things for the
Deschutes valley but was n little
ivury about making railroad prom

"Forever and For You" was sung
with much feeling by Dolly Dar-

I "IJntcrtainiug Her Dean" which
' served to introduce all the rest of
the cast. It rcvealud a staitling
familiarity with the subject. Ron

I followed with Lord Fauntleroy's
rar..ling cakewalk entitled "Goo

first appearance in the song "Please
Go' Way and Let Me Sleep." Lord
Lee's recitation, "He Never Spoke
Hcfore," was followed with another
song by Daby Lane, "Lilac Trees
n-Dloomitrg," and then came a
mixed pantomime uud musical num
ber in which all participated. A
double cakewalk and n ragtime
song closed the stage, work.
There was a large and apprecia
tive audience present. One of the
crowd was so inconsiderate us to
lean against the post that hud been
erected, with much grunting and
perspiring uud at least one bruised
thumb, to support one end of the
mosaic curtain composed of moth
ers' shawls, and a general wreck
was prevented only by the heroism
of the stage manager and the lead
ing lady, Ronnie May. After the
show everybody took part in a
dunce.
Another performance is planned

Powers & Dwyer, the Minnenpo
lis lumbermen, have about 22,000
acres of timber land, mostly on the
west side of the DokIiuIcs between
Dutid and Hcnhaiii lulls Some of
this was obtained an early as nine
years ago and Mr. Powers has been
a frequent visitor to tins region
since then. He spent several days
hete in. the past two weeks, looking
over the film's timber possessions
and examining into the general in
dustrial situation. He left yester
day morning to examine the Pine
mountain country.
Mr. Powers has hud many yearn
of experience in the lumber woods
of the Mast uud he has observed
enough of tint conditions here to
know what is ttceefisurv to be done
to handle the lumber of this section.
He has made u caraful examination
of the river and says that for $iV
000 the Deschutes can be made a
drivable Httennt from the head of
liciiham falls to Dend, and that that
tuttuiis of lraiiAort!ng logs is much
prufernWc to railroading. The river
needs no improvement whatever to
be driven for a stretch of .jo miles
nlxn-c Denhilm falls. Mr. Powers
says there is no doubt that Dend is
the place for the mills that will
manufacture the timber of this re
gion. The matter of improving
the river and driving the logs can
k easily managed through the in
strumentality of a boom conijwny
in which all the lumbermen will be
interested.
Nine years ago Mr. Powers jntt a
private mark on a number of pine
trees on hU claims. He finds that
the growth since then haa added
more than two inches to the diam
eter of the trees. He notices that
the number of fallen trees is in
creasing but he is consoled by the
fact that the new growth is more
than making up for the natural
lo.
Mr. Powers does not profess to
have any inside knowledge of the
railroad prospects of this locality,
but he has setene confidence lliat
the transportation will be provided
when the lumbermen get ready to
operate in the Upjer Deschutes val
ley. He says the lumbermen want
u railroad that will gixe them access
to the .market of Utah, Colorado,
Nebraska and Kansas; that our
lumber will go there rather than to
the coast or foeigivj Mr,- Powers
also says the lumbermen interested
in this region will provide their own
railroad if they cannot get other
traus)ortntion when they want it.

and others, such us the Diamond

Dcnu Company, will join them in
any measures of development that
may be for the common good of the
operators in this region. Mr. Pow
ers gives tlic impression mat tue
development of the lumbering in
dustry here is not so remote us
many jcople suppose.
Fire caught in the wall paper
over the kitchen stove in A. II.
Grant's cottage in Garden Row
Wednesday morning and but for
the prompt arrival of help the place
would have been consumed. Mrs.
Ilroker tried to extinguish the flame
aiid thought it was out when it was
discovered that the fire had worked
through the wall into a' bedroom
uud was also in the loft of the main
part of the building, Mr. George
Sohlecht responded to the alarm
and was able to save the building,
with the assistance of James and
J. N. Hunter, who happened to be
passing nt the time. Refore any
men had been roused and while the
women were trying to think what
to do, little Marion Lawrence
hustled up town and soon had a
crowd of men with buckets and fire
extinguishers on tlte ground, though
by that time the dunger hud mostly
passed. A few dollars will cover
tlic damage. The presence of nn
ample supply of water in a stone
reservoir nt the kitchen door was
nn important factor in putting out
the fire.
Noel Vnver and Floyd Marsh left
Wednesday morning "for the har
vest fields of the Palouse country,
where they will spend the coming
two' mouths.

J. W. Fiaher, head man of the
Shauiko Warehouse Company, ar
rived at Rend on the stage last eve
ning and left this morning for the
tall timber south of Dend.
Marly in the week the Tiimello
ditch broke loose near the head
gates and it took two days to repair
the break and confine the water in
its proper channel. No consider
able damage was done.
T. F. McCailister, of Crooked
river, came up on Tuesday with a
big load of much-needed fruit. He
sold the load at a remunerative fig
ure, apples at $1.60 a bOx and
peaches at $1. 10 a box.
Max Wur.weiler will loavc next

studies at the Portland Duainess

Last Monday Jul Hoyd surren
dered his lease of the Staat hotel
and Mr. and Mrs. Slants resumed
control of the establishment. The
illness of Mrs. Koyd made it im
practicable for the Itayds to retain
the management of that popular
hostelry,
C. A. Dano and family and Will
Foter left last Saturday tuorniug 1
for the Koslaud country, where they j
will remain for the next six month.
The party have homesteads and 1
timber claims almost in a body and '
will prove to be quite a colony in j
themselves.
J. M. Keeuey, proprietor of the
Columbia Southern Hotel at Shan-1
iko, and Mias Elizabeth Matlock, i
of Heppner, are visitors to their
timber claims this week. They
will prove up next week at l'riue
villc and are out now making a
final examination of their' claim's.
The Reception Saloon, Shaniko,
offers the most tempting induce
ments to timber locators going into
the woods. The very best brands
01 whiskies, such as Cyrus Noble,
Old Pepper, Hunter Raltimorc Rye
and other standard goods, always
to be had here, v Call nt the Recep
tion. G. M. Coruett is enthusiastic
over the Priueville-Dcud extension
of his company's Hue and is on rec
ord as saying that it is n better pay
ing line than the Shaniko-Priue-ville
run, which is saying a great
deal. The Yandeverts have all the
business their tri-weukly stage can
handle, as it comes in every trip
loaded to the guards. No cause for
complaint there, either.
Traffic, it was supposed, would
suffer materially by the withdrawal
from entry of so large a Ixnly of
laud in the vicinity of Dend, but so
far the very contrary is the case.
The hotels, indeed, have had to put
on cxtin help to accommodate the
sudden rush of business; the stages
are overcrowded and extra rigs are
run two or three times a week, as
occasion demands; the stables are
doing ns big a business ns the ho
tels; the blacksmith is overworked;
and, in fact, everything points to n
busy fall for everybody in Dend.
Last Monday night while Harry
Droker was going toward his home
in Garden Row he brushed against
nu animal that in lite dark looked
like a sheep. Considerably startled,
having his .22 with him he took n
shot at the unknown visitor, which
thereupon plitubcd into a junior.
Hurry called George Schlecht from
his house and bidding him keep
watch went and borrowed Charles
Stauburrough's rillc.. The animal
never stirred from its roost until
Harry returned and gave it the con
tents of a .32 cartridge, when it fell
to the ground like n bale of buy.
It was a porcupine, and the quills
flew in nil directions when struck
the ground. Harry has the pelt as
n trophy, and we have heard that
the soup made from the' body next
day was something great. The por
cupine is protected by law in most
of the Eastern timber states, as it is
passable eating and is the only ani
mal that n man, lost in the woods,
can kill without a gnu.

Her husband came in a little later
from Roslaud with Michael Morri
son and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Drown
left Monday for their home in
Grand Rapids, Minn., and the Mor
risons have taken up their abode in
Rend. Mrs. Drown had a severe

The Columbia Southern Irriga
tion Company has this week built a
cookhoiiM. at the '. D. D.Co. lumber
yard in Dend. It is mounted on
wagon trucks and will be utilized
this fall by the company in the con
struction of the laterals. The cook
wagon, together with a traveling
office which is to be built later, will
follow the construction crew from
point to point, thus eliminating all
delay in ditch work and at the same
time will be the means of saving
considerable money to the company
before the canal is completed.
