HURT BY DYNAMITE Seriously Injured by Acci dental Explosion. WORKING ON ARNOLD DITCH Wan Tliawlnjc 24 Stick of Dynamite when Tlicy Were Suddenly Discharged- Will Recover. Irvin Kei of this place was seri ously injured Tuesday morning, aljout 9 o'clock, by the accidental diharge of 24 sticks of dynamite which he wan preparing for use in Wanting on the Arnold irrigating ditch, about Kven miles southeast of town. Ah the result of the acci dent he will undoubtedly loae the use of hi right eye, the sight of the left eye will Ijc impaired some what, his face, right side and arm were terribly lacerated and bruised from the gravel, small stones and dirt that were shot against him, and he was injured internally. Reed, in company with John Cottor and I.tivcrne Reed, had gone to work Tuesday morning, the two latter starting to work in the ditch while Irvin built a fire and pre pared to thaw out the 24 sticks of dynamite, placing them in a box a short distance from the fire, this being the custom preparatory to the use of this explosive. Cottor and l.uverne Reed were drilling in the ditch some distance from the fire. Shortly before the explosion they noticed Irvin stooping over as though he was working with one of the dynamite sticks. A few mo ment later the explosion occurred The two men in the ditch were slightly stunned, but were soon able to go to the injured man's assistance They found him badly wounded, unconscious, with his clothing near ly torn from his lxdy by the force of the explosion. They at once called for help, knowing that J. W. Reed, the young man's father, and II. V. Reed, his uncle, were dis tant about a quarter of a mile run ning a survey. I nese two soon ar rived on the scene of the 'accident and Irvin was brought to Bend as quickly as possible. Dr. Coc found Reed in a serious condition. For several hours he bled a little from the lungs. The wounds 011 his side and face, while very painful, are only flesh wounds and will readily heaj. His eyes, however, will be permanently in jured. The concussion had so rup tured the blood vessels and capillar ies and strained the bowels and lungs that complications of an in flammatory nature muy easily de velop. Last evening the injured man came out of the stupor that followed the accident and was able to tell how it happened. lie was working near the dvuamitc and was stooped over within two feet of the box when the explosion took place. It is presumed that some slight jar set the stuff off when it was thawed to the most sensitive poitjt. The won der is that death was not instan taneous. CHINA PHEASANTS AT BEND. A Flock of These Pretty (lame Illrds Noticed In This Vicinity. Another class of settlers are com ing to the Bend country. This time it is n flue flock of China pheasants. Last June John Steidl noticed a number of these pretty birds on the west side of the river just below town. At that time there were three or four hens, one rooster and several young pheas ants, numbering in all si or 22 birds. They again appeared the first of the week but this time Mr. Steidl could only count 14 or 15 in the flock. People interested in pheasants agree that it would be n fine plan for every man to constitute himself a game warden and protect this flock until they have time to multiply and stock the country. If the hunters will leave them alone for a year or two they will increase sufficiently to insure a supply for hunting pur poses. For this reason it was sug gested that notice be gn;en request ing all hunters to spare this flock. It is puzzling local sportsmen to figure out how these birds got jnto the Bend country, as the? are not native to this region. It is known they are very uuaicrattson the west slope of the Cascades, but none nave betore been seen lier.eabouts. Mr, Stfidt Advanced. ou th6ry that seems plausible. He suggest cd that perhaps the flock had been driven to the summit of the moun tains during the time of heavy for est fires on the western side. Once catching a view of this country, it looked so good to them that they made their way down here where they have taken up their abode. AlOVINO ON TO BEND. Railroad Surveyors Hstabllsli Camp Mere This Week. Chief Engineer Graham and his party of Oregon Eastern surveyors, who are locating n railroad line be tween Madras and liend, arc mov ing to IJend today and will make their headquarters here for some weeks. Their camp will be on the flat where the barns and corral of the D. I. & P. Co. formerly was. The Pilot Butte company has given them free camp facilities and every courtesy desired. The news has been published that Harriman has made definite announcement of a railroad from Eugene to Klamath Falls and On tario next year, but the story is so muddled that it docs not add much to public knowledge ot the matter. The Dufur line is coming right along from the north. News from a private source runs to the effect that there will certainly be an ad vance of the Corvallis & Eastern, eithci as a Harriman property or a Chicago & Northwestern link, and the fact that it could throw a line into TJcnd in three months, if nec essary, is taken as proof that it is still the most important tranconti iicntal factor for Central Oregon. ANOTHER BIO RANCH. Vice President Haldwln of the D. I. & P. Co. (lets Uusy. C. S. Katon, who arrived this week to develop a 640-acre ratich for K. A. Baldwin, of the D. I. & P. Co., cast and a little south of Bend, has already put lumber on the ground for buildings, which will be constructed at once. A frame dwelling 20x32 feet, one story, and a barn 26x32 feet will constitute the plant for this winter. The work of clearing land will go forward so a considerable area will be ready for seeding in the spring. Mr. Baldwin expects to raise a va riety of crops and will combine ex periment work with farming for profit. The Baldwin tract is in the neighborhood of the Turtiey hold ing of 640 acres and the Johnston ranch of 1080 acres, now tinder development. The Haswell-Guern tract and the Jauney farm arc also in that locality. All the ditch laud holdings of the officers of the D. I. & P. Co. and their' friends are out east of Bend and they will develop big ranches there. Educational .Meeting. A meeting of the Crook County Educational Union will be held at the B. M. hall tomorrow evening. Superintendent Dinwiddic, Profes sor A. C. Strange and a number of outside teachers will be present and various educational topics will be discussed. The meeting will be open to the public. Before this meet'iig there will be a reception for the visitors from 5 to 6 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Drake and citizens of the district generally are invited to greet the teachers ou this occasion. A notice of the reception appears elsewhere in this paper and is the only invitation issued, the short ness of the time and the desire to make it general forbidding special invitations. It is hoped the visitors will bo given an enthusiastic wel come. Notice- of Meeting. Notico is hereby given that there will be a meeting of the Deschutes Settlers' Association in the B.

MOMUXAi CITIZENS NOW ACT Mass Meeting Sends Pro test to Land Board. MORE THAN 100 SIGNATURES Want Contract for Diversion of Water Below fiend Adhered to Commercial Club. Resolutions protesting against any change in the D.' I. & P". Co's contract with the state, which would work abandonment of the contract devcrsion point below Bend, were passed unanimously at a mass meeting of citizens held in tfcc B. M. hall Saturday night. After more than too citizens had signed them they were forwarded to the state land board. Mayor jGoodwillic called the meeting to order, and John Steidl was made chairman and P. Z,. Tompkins secretary. Mr. Steidl said that the object of the meeting was to consider meastlre for the well fare of the community and called upon Mayor'Goodwillie for n fuller statement. The mayor spoke of the work of the D I. & P. Co. in. the rcclamatidn of the country and the contracts it had entered into with the state, one of which con tracts require the diversion of water for reclaiming '56,000 acres to be from a point below Bend. On ac count of the extra expense of building a dam for this diversion the company had been allowed an extra Si. 27 an acre, but now it proposed to avoid that expenditure by diverting the water above Bend through works already built, thus preventing the flow of water past Bend in the rvcr channel. Mr. Goodwillie did not condemn the company for this stroke of economy but said it was for the people who have property that would be affected by the change to express their desire. His desire was that the company should be held to the contract already made because im portant interests had grown, up de pending on the carrying out of that contract in good faith. Several men discussed the sit uation. "This is not a fight be tween Mr. Drake and the ditch company" declared H. W. Reed. "All this locality is vitally interest ed in seeing that the irrigation com pany observes the terms of its con tract. There is no injustice in this; it is a reasonable requirement.' Thomas Tweet, Hugh O'Kanc, L. D. Wiest atid others expressed sim ilar sentiments. Mr. Wicst offered the following prcmble and resolu tion: Whereas, The Dosclmtes Irrigation & Power Company has entered into con tract with the state of Oregon for the reclamation of certain lands under specifications which require the water for Midi reclamation to pass beyond the City of Bend before the diversion from the Deschutes river, insuring to said city and the vicinity arounil about it power and loggl"; facilities which are requisite for greater development of UiH section, and Whereas, In order that the work of reclamation might be done at v minimum of expense and that the extra money which the state has allowed them under said contract might so be saved to themselves. tlp said company now pro poses to divert such water from the beschutes river at . point about thrct miles above that specified in said con tract, and to conduct it throuch flumes and canals already constructed uuder n former contract, and WhcrcAS, Jlqny persons, who have made investments, at points alone the I)csclUtcs river n the firm belief that there vould be permitted no deviation from &a.iil contract, would be greatly in Jurod Uy such deviation, and the state ot )rexm in no vfy benefited thereby nov therefore be it Resolved; That wo, interested prop, erty owners nnd citizens, in public meet ing nssomuico,, nercuy protest against sucn proposcq neviauon irom ine con tract of the said Deschutes Irrigation f: such proposed deviation from the con Power Company anil the state ot Oregon, ami urge tliP staip land board not to permit such chance, inasmuch as num erous nnd important interests are de pendent upon the fulfillment of the con tract as now in force, MOVE POR COMMKUCIAI. CMJB. After the resolutions had been disposed of Chairman Steidl and others discussed tho matter of forming a commercial organization to promote the interests of the town and vicinity.
