Crnig, of Hrookvillc, Peuu., aud Miss Artuninta liodgers. of Washington, Peuu., made proof in licud Tues dny on their timber claims in the I.akeviuw district. Captain Craig served as congressman in the famous 57th congress when Tom Reed was elected spcuker over William McKinley. This was the .third trip of thib party tb.Heiul. The Pounsylvnniuus are very favorably impressed with the Deschutes country. They drove in direct from Shauiko but returned by way of Prluevlllo. IillnJ Hut Still Active. Richard King returned home Monday from his trip to Portland. While there he ascertained that there was no doubt about curing his eyes by a surgical oiwrutiou, but it will be some time before the eyes are reudy for that. There must be n period of total blindness before the diseased lenses can be removed from the eyes. Whether this will take months or weeks can not yet be told. In the meantime the old gentlemen is guided by his grandson aud he docs as much effective business as 'many a man with good eyes. " ' NOW POR WORK ON TMIi DITCH. Plows mid Scrapers on the Way Three New Crews. Work on the Pilot Untie Devel opment Company's ditch is to be openod very soon. The first in stallment of scrapers and plows is now at Shauiko, and will ' be brought in and set to Work without delay. The ditch work will not wait for the completion of the flume. The plan of operations contem plates working three ditch crews in addition to the flume crew. One of thcfe is to have the stretch above Peud, another will work' llow this point aud the third will work up Iroin the vicinity of Porked Horn butte. On that part of the ditch line within reach of the river the workmen will be put as toon as possible, but the construction of the more distant strutches must watt until the canal carries water to them, which will not be long, how ever. Construction of flume trestle is going forward at the rate of about 400 feet a day. About 3000 feet of this structure will be up by to .morrow night nearly half its length. The work is well organiz ed aud is carried on without .1 hitch. Several tons of spikes to Ik used in putting up the flume proper after the trestle is completed, are on the way in from Shauiko aud more are to come. The flume will never fail from lack of nailing. The reason for putting on ditch crews before the full completion of the flume is that the. work can be done to better advantage before rough weather bets in after the be ginning of the new year. It is proposed to add forces all along the line at the curliest date they- can be organized. LOCAL NEWS ..Ji Mrs. Whined was down from her ranch Wednesday. J. II.
