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 MM.-.. ,1..... ...ill In. A iiSill WIIWV , w ready to move 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 head of probably the biggest lum ber concern to oircratc in this sec tion.

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 liMlnll t llwt-it kit (i 11 tj liiriini1 SMit-t f ort inn n mitnr I l.M 1 i 1irrwtt nmlfull faoilniM for .i.i.,m,..i .n ! mnrLct. 'ol,!v- M ,nv i.ist ivlien ' 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 Would Ik: required to control it after it had passed out of the hands of the government. The lynx or wildcat that has dis turbed the slumbers of Garden Row 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 in the night air, and the cat made short work of this morsel. Ox, the brindled printing office mascot, took the cat and drove him to the tim ber. When the cat had started the watchdog's honest bark he quit. C. S. Henson barely escaped be ing crushed by a large rock while at work on the flume line Tuesday. 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 tached to the main ledge. Hen sou's attention was attracted barely in time for him to leap out of the path of the flying rock, which crashed through an 1 8-inch tree as if it were u mere sliver. us oticc UXAMININa OUR ROCKS AND SOILS I'rofonnor lti..cl,of the U, S.

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 crested in establishing the relative I ages ot tuc basalt and the tun 1 (which is used here for fireplaces), , The party will go up into the Klam ath country and visit Crater lake, ending the expedition at Roseburg in about a mouth.

Opposite the P. H. I). Co. s office, Heud, Oregon. C. A. Lytic and Dr. H. Clark, of Priueville, accompanied by their wives, passed through Henri Satur day, on the way to Crane prairie for a ten days outing. Tuesday was the hottest and most uncomfortable day in Heud this year. The government ther mometer registered 95, uud it was hot from early in the morning till late at night. W. A. Booth and D. F. Stewart, prominent Priueville citizens, ac companied by Scorcher, the lxmch leggeri bulldog, passed through Heud Wednesday en route to the mountains in search of rest, recrea 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 connect witu tue rauruau on Kiam ath river nnd Klamath lakes. The railroad, lie Hays, li however mak- ing 110 particular move just now. All persons who arc indebted to IS. M. Miller arc requested to call at West's meat market at once and settle up. You con obtain patent medicines and toilet articles at the drug store, opposite the P. H. IJ. Co.'s office, Heud. 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. The Reception Saloon, Shauiko, ofTcrs the most tempting induce 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. Timber J.nnd, Art June j, 7S. NOTICK FOR PUBLICATION. U.
