The stnte Innd bonrd conferred
Inst week with II. I). Turney, pres
ident; Jesse Stearin;, attorney, nnd
C. M. Rcdfield, representing the
Dctrchutas Irrigation & Power
Company. They nsked the state en
gineer to certify 5.V00 ncrcs of the
76,600 in the Deschuste; Irrigation
& Power Co's system, ns ready
for patent. Mr. Turney explained
that it would he nt least a year be
fore patents would issue, in that
time the company could comply
with the requirement: of the board
and engineer ns to distribution of
water.
. Question arose as to the right of
the company to collect both the 6
per cent interest and the $i an acre
maintenance charge, which begins
when the lands nre declared re
claimed, This would in effect en
title the company to collect the
equivalent of 16 per cent.
It was ordered that the company
should waive its right to collect this
$i an acre before the bond is certi
fied for patent. .
Mr. Turney presented contracts
for two other segregations, one the
Pilot Butte segregation for 84,000
acres nnd the other the Oregon
Irrigation Company for 56,000
acres. The proposed contracts
were referred to the Attorney-General
for opinion.

In the llntl of Paine.
A question often asked about
the national capital is regarding
Oregon's niche in the hall of fame.
It will be remembered that the state
has no marble figure there of her
most cherished son. She is not en
tirely alone in the shortage, but
such docs not prevent the curious
from inquiring when Oregon will
be ready to designate who shnll go
down to posterity as her most
potent and loved character.
The hall of fame contains some
of the most historical characters of
the nation. Revolutionary days, of
course, were productive of n major
portion of the men who are honored
there. For a time it seemed as
though revolutionary duties were
the essential qualifications, as no
other achievements approached
those in popular favor. But new
states and the lapse of a century
make revolutionary heroes imposs
ible for n heavy portion of the
nation's ranks of statuary fame.
Oregon and several other new
states has not found it expedient to
place either of the statues allotcd
each of them, and does not indi
cate any desire for haste in the
matter. Oregon being the mother
state of the Northwest is naturally
expected to have the most material
for such uses, nnd the quizzical
direct their attention to Oregon's
lack of representation more than to
any other western state.
Attorney Wilson of Port
land Talks.
tr
GREAT POSSIBILITIES HERE
Orcntly Impressed With the Des
chutes River-'Maay Improve
ments Since (902.
A. King Wilson of Portland is
spending a few days in Bend on
business nnd to a Bulletin repre
sentative spoke in cnthusiastice
terms of Bend and its possibilities.
"The thing that impressed me
first," said Mr. Wilson, "after my
hot dusty ride across the desert
was the bc'aUt of the riyer
at Bend and the excellence of its
water. Wc people at Portland
think that Bull Run water can't be
beaten, but you folks have just as
good or better supply in the Des
chutes. Your water system is a
credit to the town.
"I visited Bend the last time in
1902. Then there were less than
half a dozen buildings here, practi
cally none but Mr. Drake's resi
dence and stables, a log school
house aud a part of what is now
the Pilot Butte Inn. Now you
have a business center with many
of the features of a city. For ex
ample your hotels arc first class;
good food, good sleeping accomoda
tions, good service. You are build
ing n school house that compares
favorably with similar structures
in towns three tunes the size of
Bend and I am,' informed that
your teaching equipment is first
class, too.
"I know" said Mr. Wilson, "that
newspaper men arc proverbially
modest and I always refrain from
saying cmbarassiug things to them
but I will say that in my opinion
Bend has one of the very best
country newspapers in the state
and it is entitled to the support of
all the people in this region."
Mr. Wilson is greatly impressed
with the power possibilities of the
Deschutes river and he believes
that Bend is the natural location
for the headquarters of plants to
develop this power. "I am in
formed" said he, "that there is
hardly a mile of the river for a
long distance above aud below Bend
that there is less than 100 feet drop,
with a volume of 2,000 cubic feet
or more per second. The power
that may be developed is practi
cally limitless. We are each year
extending the field of electricity;
fuel becomes each year more ex
pensive nnd some substitute must
be found. Such rivers as the Des
chutes furnish this substitute and
they arc bound to be utilized in the
near future. Rail roads arc taking
up the question of substituting
electricity for steam. There could
be no more fovorable location for
this substitution thau upon the
rail road lines which in a short
time will parallel the Deschutes
river through Central Oregon."
Mr. Wilson has taken time to
test the fishing capabilities of the
Deschutes and lie is not sure but
that the river is greater as a trout
stream thau as a source of power.
Tiuunlo News.

states that the grain was very much
damaged in that part of the coun
try by the freezing weather of the
winter and that many of the farm
crs arc resccding.
More cattle have been turned
loose on the people this week. They
are driven down from up the river
and turned out on the desert to
graze off the range belonging to
settlers who have not had time to
fence up yet. These cattle have
become a public nuisance and peo
ple are getting very indignant over
being imposed upon by them.

Plans for the proposed farmers
institute, to be held in Bend in the

is steadily developing and is bound
to be one ot tlte most prosperous
localities 111 the Deschutes irrigation
district.
The postoffice department has re
cently granted a petition for the es
tablishment of a postomcc there,
naming Moses Niswouger, who has
charge of the Powell Buttes stage
statiou, as first post master.
Two Opinions.
U. G. Boycr, register and ab
stracter, office ot register of deeds,
Wadena, Minn., in speaking of the
Bulletin, says: "I wish to state
that I have read some of your pa
pers with interest, and wish to com
mend the stand which you have
taken. It has been a pleasure to
read some of your editorials."
Frank Glass saysi "I have read
the Bulletin every week since the
first issue and when I miss the pa
per I feel as though I had gone
without a meal."
For Equal Property Rights,
The next session of the Oregon
State Grange will doubtless reaffirm
its position in regard to securing an
act of the legislature to reduce the
husband's right of courtsey one-half,
making it just equal to the dower
right. Under our present law the
husband has a life estate in all his
wife's property while she has a life
estate in only one-half of his prop
erty. This law should be made
the same for both. It came before
the last legislature as house bill No.
275. It passed the house, but was
held up in the judiciary committee
of the senate.
, It is reported that the tamilies of
H. D. Turney ana w. 1$. Guerin,

Rages Alonsf tho Entire
Water"Front. " '
(Sped! by Telegnsi.)
Sacra vhnto, Cal., April 18. A
violent earth quake occurred at Salt
Francisco between 5 and 6 o'clock'
a. m. today, resulting in the loss
of hundreds of lives and millions of
dollars worth of property.
Bulletin No. 1.
SacrauknTO, Cal., April 18.
Between 11 and 12 o'clock today
an unprecedented earth quake did
enormous damage to property and
orer 1,000 lives are reported lost.
Water system reported destroyed
and conflagration raging.
Falace hotel, considered earthquake-proof,
destroyed. San Fran
cisco Call building also destroyed.
People flee, panic stricken, out
of danger of falling buildings.
Bulletin No. 2.
.
Sacramknto, April 3, 3 p.m.
Alarming reports continue to come
from San Francisco. Wires are
down in every direction and Sac
ramento is only point from which
communication of any sort has
been received.
Sixty buildings arc on fire and
tlic fire department is powerless.
The number of lives lost is now
believed to be at least 2,000.
Streets thronged with people.
Later News.
Sacramento, Cal., April 19.
Appalling reports continue to ar
rive from San Francisco and sur
rounding points The entire busi
ness section of that city is reported
burned to the ground and the whole
city is doomed to destruction.
Santa Rosa, 50 miles north of
San Francisco, is demolished.
Berkley and San Jose are entirely
destroyed and Stanford University,
40 miles south of San Francisco, is
in ruins.
It will be days before anything
like an accurate estimate of the loss
of life aud property cau be made.
The strongest words beggar des
cription of this terrible disaster aud
only time will bring out the details.
The zone of the earth-quake
seems to have extended over an
area of more than a hundred miles
in every direction, in the most
densely populated section of the
state.
A number of Bend people having
relatives and friends in the stricken
district are anxiously awaiting news
in regard to their welfare. Dr.
Coe's father, a practicing physician
of San Francisco, and M. G. Coe,
brother of Dr. Coe and well known
here, are both in San Francisco and
have not beeu heard from.
R. B. Mutzig's father aud motUe,
and sister, on their way to Bevl
from Pennsylvania, left San Finn-
cisco Tuesday night aud luckily es
caped. They are expected to ar
rive in liend in a lew days.
Our Taxes.
Bend's taxes this year are ex
tremely high owing to the fact
that 10 mills extra school tax have
been added this year. The couuty
tax is 21 mills; city 13 mills and
the additional school tax 10 mills,
making a total tax of 44 mills.
Although this is a high tax it is
what the people of Bend voted for
and each one should be patriotic
enough to come forward nnd do
his full share.
Wanted.
To contract to deliver 750,000
feet of logs, to commence May 1st.
