Rollroml Will Depend on Progress of

John Steldl returned horn v last
Friday after having been a month
on a business mlMiiou in the Knit.
Most pf that time was speiif ill
Mtnnasoln but Mr. Steldl got down
to Chicago a few days. After leav
ing Henri last mouth he spent a
week in driving over the country
letwceu here and Ontario, in order
to qualify himself to report ceitaiu
matters that luistern lumbermen
ar? interested in.
From what he learned in the
Itast Mr. Steldl expresses the opin
ion tlmt the railrond piosK!Cts of
this locality dccud on the progress
of the big lumber opcrutor in ac
quiring the timber lauds of Central
Oregon. They will not oicn this
region until they have about 75 per
cent of the timber in their own con
trol. Now they have less than 25
per cent. They must yet get hold
of about twice as much as they al
ready have

And when tlut
time comes they will see to it that
transportation facilities aic provided.
Until that time does come there will
be no timber trnflic to speak of for
a railroad, therefore small induce
ments for immediate railroad con
struction. The reason the big ojxirators in
sist on buying their timber before
beginning to work it up is that the
coming of the railroad will surely
advance the price of private hold
ings to such a figure that it would
be unprofitable for the big ojicrators
to buy then. They calculate on
getting along without the laud they
cannot get hold of before the rail
road comes. And they arc not
willing to open the country for the
general good; they arc not philan
thropists uud arc not posing as
such.
"As to the bearing of this policy
on the growth of Heud, I believe it
will be in every way beneficial,"
said Mr. Stcidl. "I have more
confidence than ever In the future
of Henri. There will be great things
doing here one of these days, though
that may not be so early as some
would like to see. My own busi
ness arrangements have been put
in very satisfactory shape and it is
now assured that I will l at the

number of men who, operating
more or less independently, have
obtained considerable blocks of tim
ber land. These will be combined
under one management and it will
be a big institution. Our present
sawmill is a trifling incident of this
dciil, but It will go with it. It has
already accomplished its purpose."
Mr. Stcidl says it is not planned
to build up a large sawmill plant at
Henri just now. He will continue
to operate the mill to meet the local
demand, but the large sawmill de
velopment will le left for the time

that will be.
The recent withdrawal of land
in Central Oregon Mr. Stcidl thinks
does not displease the big lumler
men. He believes they are entire
ly satisfied to see a considerable
quantity of timber reserved by the
government. When they wont it
they will know where to go for it
and they have enough influence to
get it then. And its reserve in the
meantime will save them taxes and
the interest on the investment that

The lynx or wildcat that has dis

residents two or three times this
summer gave tongue to his woes
again at a very early hour yester
day morning. He also paid The
Hulletin office an unwelcouie visit.
A. H- Kennedy had the evening
before caught a string of trout foi
Wulter Yandcvcrt and hud them on
a box in front of the office to keep

short work of this morsel. Ox, the

the cat and drove him to the tim

watchdog's honest bark he quit.

Mr. Wiest was working at n log at
the top of the bluff unci it became
suddenly dislodged, thus removing
what proved to be a support to a
rock that was supposed to be at

in time for him to leap out of the
path of the flying rock, which

I'rofcNMor Israel C. Kussell,af the
chair of Oeology in the I'lilvcrsity
of Michigan, is making a geolog
ical examination of this h-tiou of
the state for the Unilcd States geo
logical survey, with which he is
also connected, With him as field
assistants arc Henry C. Ucwey, of
Manchester, N, Y., and Clyde II.

engineer clasu ot '05. The party
reached Heud Wednesday noon and
established camp on the west bank
of the ivcr a short distance above
the P. IJ. D. Co.'k bridge It will
move on tomorrow morning.
The route clioycn for this expe
dition began at Hoisc, where Pro
fessor Kushcll ended his field work
last year. The party crowd the
Snake into Oregon at Ontario and
the serious work of the M-aviti was
entered upou in the vicinity of
Hums. There n considerable ar
tesian basin was found. About the
Gilchrist ranch oil the headwaters
of Crooked river another artesian
basin was located, and still another
in the vicinity of Price Hut on
the desert to the south of Priueville
no artesian conditions were discov
ered. The country was too vol
canic and the rock strata too much
disturbed to give promihc of arte
sian water, though it is deemed
possible that wcllbores may occas
ionally tap reservoinof water there.
These will not produce ' llowing
wells, however.
The country to the westward not
offering inducements for artesian
prospecting, Professor Russell's
work has been more u the line of
technical examination of the rocks
and soils and the general geologic
structure of the country- The party
Missd down Crooked river to a
point about eight miles above its
mouth and then made an examina
tion of the Haystack country.
Last Tuesday the men ascended the
most northerly of the Three Sisters
to a point about 1000 feet from the
summit. They found a glacier two
miles long ami a mile broad between
that peak and its southern sister,
which ought to be called Russell
glacier. A day was spent at Sis
ters postoffice.
While here Professor Russell .as
cended Pilot buttc and made a re
couuoisauce of the country from
that elevation. He la much inter

most uncomfortable day in Heud
this year. The government ther

hot from early in the morning till
late at night.
W. A. Booth and D. F. Stewart,

tion and game.
John Hlricr returned to Henri 011
Tuesday from Pokcgauia, Cul. He
left ten days before with a party of
timber locators and sightseers and
drove them all the way to the new
terminus of the Southern Pacific
a little farther, in fact and then
back again, covering a distance of
more than 500 miles. He reports
that railroad rumors are rife in that
locality and some construction and
other work being done. Steamers

Uncle Hilly Kchmy, of Shauiko,
was in Hend with his wife Friday.
They were headed homeward after
an extended visit to their two sous
Iiditor Kelsay of the Silver Lake
Central Orcgouian, and Jack Kel
suy, of the Chcwaucau valley.

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. William II. Holliusheari made
final proof on his homestead near
Lava Inst Saturday, His witness
es were John Sisemore and V. II.
Vandcvcrt. Mr. Hollinshcad has
had charge of the Sisemore burn
for the past two mo'uths but he left
with his family Monday morning to
resume life on the homestead.
J. C. Conn's freight team passed
through Henri yesterday morning
on the way to the railroad terminus
at Shauiko with 20,000 pounds of
Central Oregon wool. It will re
turn loaded with merchandise. The
round trip occupies 28 davs ami
the sturdy mules already have work
enough ahead of them to last until
New Year's.
Patrick Rowan was thrown in the
river by an obstreperous ' log as he
was working on the P. H. I). Co.
flume line yesterday. The stream
is deep nnd rapid with precipitous
banks at that point and it was only
by quick aid from his fellow work
man William Stewart that he es
caped. A finger was severely
crushed in the accident.
Mr. Muller, of the lumbering
firm of Muller & Co., Davenport,
lown, accompanied by the chief
timlK-rman of the company,
"Scotty" McKay, of Chippewa
Palls. Wis., Missed through Heud
Monday on their way up to the tim
ber. That company already has a
large block of pine lauds in this
belt and is after still more.
Chester Hollinshond was up the
river last Friday and on his way
back near Lava started a black
bear, which his dog soon treed.
The young man hustled for a gun
and pumped a few shots into bruin,
who finallyxame down with both
forelegs and his jaw broken. That
was the dog's opportunity and he
made the most of it, and the bear
did the only thing left for him to
do, namely, died.
Master Fred Lucas had his 1 1 th
birthday on Saturday last. Uncon
scious of that fact, however, he had
gone to his room at the Inn for an
after dinner nap and was sleeping
soundly when a lot of his boy and
girl frieuds pounced in on him and
woke him up and gave him a real
surprise party. The tots had an
enjoyable afternoon, playing their
games and romping as only children
can, and they left substantial tokens
of esteem, also, in the form of
birthday presents.
The new mill of the P. H. D
has been runnintr at intervals
Co.
this
week, Kettiui: the machinery lim
bered up and iu condition for reg
ular work. A numler of thousand
feet of lumber has been sawed iu
this process. The plant is found
to work well and the lumber made
there is incomparably better than
what was turned out at the Heud
mill. The timber is of much better
quality back from the edge of the
desert. On the flume line work is
progressing satisfactorily and flume
construction will begin when the
lumber is ready for it.
II. H. Pink, of Idaho Palls, Ida
ho, arrived iu Hend Monday eve
ning and spent two days looking
over this section. Idaho Palls is
the center of a large area of irri
gated laud and the people there
have great faith in rational irriga
tion as a means to agricultural
prosperity. Mr. Pink says the ir
rjgated lands there sell readily at
$75 an acre. They are largely
used for growing sugar beets. Mr.
Pink finds many conditions here
similar to those of the Idaho Falls
country and he expresses the con-
victiou that the beet sugar industry
would be very successful Jicre.
Later he may establish himself in
business here.
Oliver Johnson and Oliver Thor
bjorusou were .taking a load of lum
ber to the homestead of the for
mer up the river last Saturday,
Going down the Sisemore hill the
four-horse team became frightened
and ran away. Hoth men were
thrown off by an untimely jolt and
the team bid fair to strew the outfit
along the road, but one of the
horses fell and that retarded their
speed until Mr. Hollinshoari ran out
and set the brake and stopped the
circus. Mr. Thorbjornson's back
was quite severely wrenched by the
fall and one of Steidl &. Reed's
horses was somewhat bruised.
