"Uncle John" SKcniore's ranch shows the possibilities of the Des chutes vn I ley. He has this year cut timothy and red top as tall as a man and now his mower is in oats nearly un.hiuli that will Ixi made in to hay. I Ie raises turnips and ruta bagas large as 10-pound lard pails u it'll they are crisp all the way through. Hit onions grow so fast that he cannot keep them thinned out in the rows and bin lettuce and radishes wax cortcsponilingly. Potatoes grow luxuriantly except in a few spots where front strikes. Twenty-one years ago Mr. Sine more came to this place on the river, where John Todd occupied a log cabin and viewed complacently the expanse of grassy bottom land. It just fitted the Sisemore eye and he opened negotiations to buy it. When Mr. Todd offered to .sell his homestead right for$i.joo.Mr Sisc more took the offer, lie perfected his government title and has held the place ever since and he is as pleased with it today as he was the day he paid John Todd $hoo for the right to make homcMcari entry. To the original quarter-section Mr. Sisemore has added until he now has a ranch of 2.o acres, with good home and the best barn on the Deschutes. Seventy-five of the 740 ucres are bottom laud and un der ditch. The reuiuindcr is tint ler and graying land. Mr. Sise more has sent to California for a Mrraper with which he will level down two or three knolls that now reach above the water line. Mr. Sisemore has two farms in the Uogue river valley, but in his esti mation they will not compare with his ranch on the Deschutes. A U Land Deal. Prank Korcst has sold his I.oue Pine ranch to the Princville I.atid 8c. Livestock Company and also leased his store at Forest's, 13 miles west of Prineville, to the company for a term of five yeurs, or longer at the option of the company. The headquarters of the company urc at present at Muddy, in Wasco county, but will be transferred to Forest's on January 1 next, when the company will take possession. The Forest place is to be managed by C. C. O'Neil, the company's superintendent, and Mr. Forest is to take the Tctherow place now oc cupied by C. O. Bethel. O'Neil ELK'NS KING. OREQON. i Hros., of Prineville, engineered this ideal, in which nearly two thous laud acres of laud have changed Unvucrshin and the lease of 1200 acres mote is included. l.o Itandc a Alorto; Vivo Ie UanilcJ A pretty sill, AxtaiiKi night.

It is a short .story and too stared for profanation in prosy pro.se. lint from the ashes of the ilnme that consumed the Broker Concert Baud, arose iustauter, like the pha-uix bird, the Bend Concert Baud, with George Schlccht as its guardian angel, and the boys will continue to llieathc thiwigh their mclkiw horns their n alve smils The close affinity between the tender passion and the tuneful muse was never more clearly demonstrat ed. But Harry Broker says the spell is broken and that hereafter his ministrations to the baud will be on the basis of so much per. This suits the baud also and bus iness will now show its superiority over sentiment and carry the baud on to a crescendo success. It is now passing the hat for a bass drum. What Bend Is Up Against. In the last two weeks Bend has been honored by the visits of two kiuctosco)c show failureseach of which was a little worse than the other and a circus that we are glad to say didn't stop to entertain us. The first kiuetoscope operator was fresh from the hay field and didn't understand his machine. The only part of his show worth seeing was the love-making scene in which Dr. Kdwards appeared. The calcium burned brightly enough while that slide was running. The second operator said he hud run out of carbide, after keeping the audience waiting three-quarters of and hour,, and cheerfully refunded the tickctsl He discovered that he had plenty of carbide in his tent just before leaving the next tuorn- Every day will be a special day at Portland's big fall carnival, Sep tember 14 to 26 inclusive, and it is safe to say that it will be largely attended front this section. PKUI'AKINCl TO OI'l-N SCHOOL. Hoard Holds 0 MootliiK-.-Tcnchcr to Do Hired Next Tuesday, A meeting of the district school board was held at the sclioolhouse Tuesday evening. The elerk was insttucted to advertise for bids for supplying fuel and lor janitor ser vice at the Kchoolhotisc lor the com ing year and an adjournment was taken until next Tuesday evening, when the meeting will be for the purjKJsc of hiring a teacher. The meeting was he.d pursuant to a notice given in writing by Chairman Wiest. He wrvecl the notice tijxtti Directors Conor out! Triplett, both of whom were prc cut. John Steidl, whose sc.it is con tested by Mr. Triplett, wus also present. The only other person present was J. M. Lawrence, who occupied the clerk's desk. Pre-j ceding the business of the meeting there was a little informal discus sion of the advisability of agreeing that the undisputed members of (he board should conduct the business of the district until the court should decide which of the others is en titled to act. Chairman Wiest told of Ins attempt to reach an under standing with Director Cottor by which neither of the claimants to the disputed seats should be rccog n i zed before the decision of the court, and of Cottor's declining to cuter such arrangement, and he then asked Mr. Steidl if he would be willing to agree that neither claimant should act before the cotttt's decision should be made. Mr. Steidl haul he did not wish to do anything that would injure the school but he did not think he ought to consent to the proposed arrangement. Chairman Wiest called upon the clerk to read the minutes of the previous meeting. When they were read Director Cottor objected to their approval, not stating the ground of his objection. On roll call the minutes wctc approved by the following vote: Ayes, Trip lett and Wiest; noes, Cottor. These were the minutes of the board meet ing immediately following the au nual election and they have been published in full in The Bulletin. Mr. Steidl asked that the record show that his recognition as a di rector was refused by the chair. The chair declined to entertain the request from Mr. Steidl, whom he ruled to be an outsider not entitled to participate inthe official pro ceedings of the board. The chair suggested that if Director Cottor chose to make the request it would be recognized. Director Cottor did make the request and it was duly entered of record. Mr. Steidl then left and the others proceeded with the business of the meeting. After an informal and amicable discussion of school matters Direc tor Cottor moved that the clerk call for bids for janitor service at the schoolhouse, the bids to be sub mitted by the evening of September 8, and the motion was carried. He also made a motion that the clerk call for bids for supplying 15 ricks of stovewood 20 inches long at the schoolhouse, which was carried. The applications of Miss Onteg, of Prineville, Miss Roberts, of Bend, and Mr. Kdwards, of Sisters, to teach the Bend school were briefly discussed, after which an adjourn- 1 incut was taken until next Tuesday evening, when the matter of hiring a teacher will be taken up. School will probably begin the succeeding Monday. HAPPENINOS IN BEND. Mrs. IS. R. Riley and daughter, Miss Mary, spent Sunday in Bend, the guests of Mrs. Wiest. A fine son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Donkel, at the Mead ows, Wednesday morning. Rcnnie Booth came up Monday front Prineville to look after his many business interests in this sec tion. Messrs. John L. Kever and the five Tripletts left Wednesday on a bear hunting expedition at the headwaters of the Tumello. Misses Iva West and Mildred Baldwin left Wednesday for a visit to the latter's home at Powell buttcs. They returned yesterday evening to Bend. The dance tonight is declared off. Instead of raising money for u drum by this means a subscription paper is being circulated, with the result that $25 has been subscribed. This amount will purchase a bass drum, nnd a long felt want in the band will 1 soon filled. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Drake and Miss Marion Wiest drove to Prine ville Tuesday. Mrs. Drake and Miss Wiest returned the next day but Mr. Drake went on to Portland. John Sisemore is about to build a two-story box. building 22x60 feet for n store at his place. It will cost about $1000, I. C. Barron, a Walla Walla real estate man and merchant, will be associated with Mr. Si7.c more in the store. T. P. McCallistcr, of Crooked river, came up from his ranch last night with a load of hay for the Pilot Butte Development Company. He has contracted with the com pany to de.ivcr 100 tons of baled hay ut Bend this fall at f 17 a ton. Who wouldn't be a farmer! John Tcmplctonr W. A. Booth and D. F. Stewart, of Princville, returned today from their outing iti the mountains. They had been out two weeks, nnd as far west as the Willamette's headwaters, but Mr. Templcton reported seeing only one lcar, the claws of which he carried home in his saddlebags. Veda Dorrance was playing with some children in Garden Row Wed nesday afternoon and climbed over the wire fence that surrounds the Drake garden, for clover blossoms to make a wreath. Returning she caught on a barb which made a gaping three-inch rent in her shin. By prompt attention the wound was put in good shape for healing. Ora Poiudcxtcr, his wife, son and nephew Ralph, and Rcan West, re turned Tuesday afternoon from their fishing trip to Davis and Odcll lakes. They were equipped for both hunting and fishing, and even took a boat along for the latter sport, but during the entire two weeks they were at the lakes no fish were killed for packing; just enough for current use could be caught. Ora said he met an old she-bear with two cubs one day, but of course it happened at a time when he was fishing and he had no gun with him. "Uncle Jack" Vandevert, aged 81 years, is quite ill at the home of his son William P., above Lava postoffice. The old gentleman was stricken with a bowel complaint that has been prevalent in the Des chutes valley recently and it was feared for a time that it would be his last fight. Word was sent to his sons, who hurried to his bed side. Dr. Edwards was also sent for and he was able to relieve the aged patient so much that he is ex pected soon to recover. "Uncle 'Jack" Vandevert is on Oregon pio neer of 1848. Until about 20 years ago he lived in the Willamette val ley. Then he came to this stock country, where his sons had ac quired extensive interests, and he has since made his home here. He j has led an active life and is still "Dad" West met with an acci dent last Friday evening that might have proved more serious. He was unloading beef from the delivery hack nrcoaratorv to movintr it into j the meat market and to facilitate the Handling ot me dcci lie was standing on an apple box. As he had a quarter in the air and was in the act of getting a good hold the i box turned over. Dad's feet went up and Dad went down. He bit the ground pretty hard, and then the quarter of beef struck hitn full in the chest. As it weighed about 1 50 pounds it was no light blow, and Dad thought he never would get his breath again. In a little while he recovered himself suffi ciently to go home, and after a rest on Saturday was able to be around again. At present he is recovering from the bruises received in the ac cident. W. A. Laidlaw, president of the Columbia Southern Irrigation Co., was the victim of untoward circum stances last Thursday night the re sults of which he will not forget in a hurry. A. C. Lwcas had driven him over to the contpatiy's ditch, and on arriving at that point Mr. Laidlaw, who is thoroughly famil iar with the country, said that he would walk the rest of the way to the camp, and that as it was late and rather dark Mr. Lucas had bet ter drive home. So Mr. Laidlaw was left on the desert at the ditch. The camp had moved during his recent absence, however, and was two miles away from its former lo cation; and when he arrived at the old camp site and, failed to find any traces of it other thou a few scat tered condensed milk tins .his feel ings may be imagined. Mr. Laid law heafd the blasting next morn ing and by that sound he was guid ed into camp about 10 o'clock. TlmherLand Act June J, l7' NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. V. S. Land Office.
